Abstract

This paper presents research focused on the post-pandemic opportunities of special interest tourism development, through elaboration of the stakeholders' perspectives on sustainable valorisation of local natural and cultural heritage in the changing global context. The main goal of the research was to analyse the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on key stakeholders’ activities and their attitudes towards future sustainable tourism development. The empirical research has been realised in the Municipality of Vrsar, a typical Mediterranean tourist destination characterised by mass tourism and high seasonality. The research was based on a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, including a literature review, semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders’ representatives and a tourists' attitudes survey. The conducted research indicated that the current pandemic could be seen also as an opportunity for all key stakeholders to reflect on the sustainability of the existing tourism practices and develop products which will be more nature-friendly and respond to new needs and expectations of changing tourist demand. The new, more sustainable, post-pandemic model of participatory governance in cultural and tourism development should involve all interested stakeholders, by developing a distinctive offer for special interest tourist segments which could disperse demand in time and space and prolong the tourism season.
利益相关者对疫情后旅游业可持续发展的看法
本文通过阐述利益相关者在不断变化的全球背景下对当地自然和文化遗产可持续增值的看法,重点研究了疫情后特殊利益旅游业发展的机会。该研究的主要目标是分析冠状病毒大流行对关键利益相关者活动的影响以及他们对未来可持续旅游发展的态度。这项实证研究是在弗萨尔市进行的,弗萨尔市是一个典型的地中海旅游目的地,以大众旅游和高季节性为特点。该研究基于定性和定量相结合的方法,包括文献综述、对主要利益相关者代表的半结构化访谈和游客态度调查。所进行的研究表明,当前的疫情也可以被视为一个机会,让所有关键利益相关者反思现有旅游实践的可持续性,并开发出更环保的产品,以满足不断变化的旅游需求的新需求和期望。新的、更可持续的、疫情后的文化和旅游业发展参与式治理模式应该让所有感兴趣的利益攸关方参与进来,为感兴趣的旅游群体制定一个独特的优惠,可以在时间和空间上分散需求,延长旅游季节。
