Abstract.<\/strong> Tourism is a signifcant aspect of most ex-situ conservation establishmentsfor Asian Elephants. We assessed reasons for visitor discontent in fve highly visited establishments in Asia, by analysing on-line visitor comments. The proportion of negative reviews varied signifcantly between institutions. Ten reasons for visitor discontent were identifed. Unethical treatment of elephants was the commonest and lack of conservation relevance the second commonest reason stated for discontent. Other reasons for visitor discontent were related to misbehaviour of mahouts, management defciencies and inadequacy of facilities.<\/p>\n
