The argument starts with the transformation of culture into a metonymic metacultural product labelled ‘cultural heritage’ and with the destination community as reference point. The model distinguishes between the tourism development measures designed and thought from the outside (by tourist agents, capital or tourism experts) and addressed to the outside, and those designed from the inside to the inside (by and for the people of the community). It is not a question of empowerment but a theoretical scheme to analyse the social and cultural processes in tourism contexts: the conversion of the place through the meaningful mediation of tourism space. Consequently, new types of actions and measures for the social development of tourist destinations thought from the inside and addressed to the inside might be designed. The paper vindicates the regenerative power of culture.","PeriodicalId":130558,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Planning & Development","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114805014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Novelli, Amy Scarth","doi":"10.1080/14790530701289697","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14790530701289697","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Despite the spatial significance of protected areas and the increasing threats posed to the world's biodiversity by various agents, successful conservation still remains controversial and inconsistent. In this context, protected areas have become a core attraction for nature-based tourism activities, valued for their ability to generate financial benefits in a non-extractive way, thus effectively enabling the sustainability of biodiversity. This paper reviews literature on the relationships between protected areas, conservation, local communities and tourism and evaluates key issues related to the integrated conservation and development (ICD) approach. This is then proposed as an alternative way to traditional protected area management in conjunction with a diversified local livelihood approach. Based on empirical findings from Liwonde National Park in Malawi, key issues related to conservation and community development are explored focusing on how the financial benefit provided by tourism for the government does not reflect the little opportunities offered to local communities – in terms of involvement and economic development. The paper explains the need for an artificial linkage of revenue sharing as a community incentive as well as an effective ICD approach. Some general considerations on the management of protected areas, the role of tourism and the conflicting position of the communities in relation to the former two are also offered.","PeriodicalId":130558,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Planning & Development","volume":"258 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114421214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many do not have the images and attractions to lure tourists. This is particularly true for cities with myopic local politics, crumbling infrastructures and unstable demographics. Lacking an alternative economic development plan, tourism has become a possibility if not an imperative. Often such cities are slow to realize the possibilities of a tourist-oriented future. This paper analyses the tourism potential of two relatively small cities, Willington, Delaware, and Albany, New York. Using interviews of city leaders we assessed the readiness of these two cities for a tourism-based economy.","PeriodicalId":130558,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Planning & Development","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115422535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study was carried out in a community-based ecotourism project. The project had been implemented eight years ago in a protected area in Brazil. The main objective of the present study was to monitor the environmental impacts of ecotourism on the fauna of Mamirauá Sustainable Development Reserve, in order to implement measures that aim to minimize those impacts. Eight animal species were monitored. Five primates: Cacajao calvus (white bold uakari), Saimiri vanzolinii (black-faced squirrel monkey), Saimiri sciureus (common squirrel monkey), Alouatta seniculus (red howler monkey), Cebus macrocephalus (brown capuchin monkey); and three birds: Monasa nigrifrons (black-fronted nunbird), Crax globulosa (wattled curassow) and Mitu tuberosum (great curassow) from 2002 to 2005. These animals were chosen for their biological importance for the area and because, as we were informed by local guides, they are common on Mamirauá trails. For the primates, the white bold uakari and black-faced squirrel monkey are considered endangered and vulnerable, respectively. For the birds, the wattled curassow is considered vulnerable (Base de Dados Tropical, 2006). Results found in the present study suggest there was no statistically significant difference between the observations of animals on trails with and without tourists for most of the species studied. Only one primate species (black-faced squirrel monkey) and one bird species (black-fronted nunbird) presented statistically significant differences in analyses with and without tourists (t-test: t = −2.27; p = 0.0267 and Mann-Whitney U = 207.5; p = 0.0025, respectively).","PeriodicalId":130558,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Planning & Development","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115102070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on a number of sources, this paper explores activities through which geographic terrain is transformed into customer value. It examines factors used to determine investment levels, including capacity and demand, and the economies of chai- lifts and snow-making. Strategies by which these investments are maximized are discussed. These strategies are characterized as adding value, cost reduction, creating new value or expanding markets. Finally, this paper addresses the economics of integrating activities on the mountains. While a large number of strategies are found that are common to many fields, there appears as yet no clear pattern in profitability between fields, a reflection of the peculiar environment each resort faces.","PeriodicalId":130558,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Planning & Development","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126919302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Thinking through Tourism in Japan","authors":"W. Arlt","doi":"10.1080/14790530601132377","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14790530601132377","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Japan today appears as an insular, industrial society stranded in a globalized post-industrial world, trying to retain (mainly invented) pre-industrial values under the conditions of high Hofstedian index readings for both group orientation and uncertainty avoidance. Insight into tourism in Japan can be gained through an understanding of a unique development: ‘ambitious Japan’.  Analysing Japan's tourism development by looking at the three basic steps of ‘discovery’, ‘acquisition’ and ‘invention’ (which can be found in the physical and mental development of tourism in history on a global scale, but also in the development of destinations and tourist sites on a regional and local scale), the special path of the Japanese development can be demonstrated.  Domestic tourism was marketed under the title ‘Discover Japan’ in the 1970s, supporting furosato (hometown) tourism, sightseeing of reconstructed Meiji buildings and relaxation in resorts. The acquisition of spatial and cultural resources remains quite limited in Japan. Tourism has not succeeded in opening up the inside of sacred places like Shinto shrines to the tourist gaze or saving vistas of landscape gardens, leap-frogging instead to ‘invention’ with indoor-beaches, theme and high-tech parks, etc. Given the limited economic power of tourism and the need for ‘Inventing Japan’ (Buruma, 2003) as a major task of the whole Japanese society, this comes as no surprise.  Sustainable tourism in Japan is strongly connected to development or rather the threat of de-development of rural areas. Local participation and community involvement is strongly supported as a way to overcome this problem with the help of ‘agrotourism’. As the ‘old’ tourism of big groups on a one-time short-term visit, to which the hardware still is geared, is moving to cheaper overseas destinations, ‘new’ family/friends-based tourism is seen as a sustainable form, with some redeveloped places like Yufuin (Kyushu) praised as best practice examples. Ecotourism, visits to National Parks etc. take place either overseas or only in eventisized form, given the preference for manipulated nature over the search for authenticity in pristine forests.","PeriodicalId":130558,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Planning & Development","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115323689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many scholars have called for mixing of quantitative and qualitative research methods as a way of enhancing the understanding of a very complex social world that confronts tourism researchers. This paper takes a practical step by showing how mixing of methods can be done. The paper uses data that were collected in Australia. In doing so, the paper shows how data were collected and analysed. Theoretical understanding of the two approaches shows how the findings were arrived at and further supports the argument behind each approach taken in both data collection and analysis. The paper concludes by shedding light on some of the challenges facing mixed-method researchers, and further provides practical ways of conducting mixed-methods research in tourism effectively.","PeriodicalId":130558,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Planning & Development","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127232770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consumers are often highly involved. The experience involves both products and services requiring a relatively high level of expenditure. It also usually involves a degree of risk within a relatively unfamiliar environment. Such factors mean that consumers can hold strong and influential attitudes toward different destinations. The factors and processes that influence destination choice have received considerable research attention. In addition, studies have begun to investigate satisfaction levels relating to the quality of the destination experience. However, it is argued in this paper that important information affecting consumer destination decision making needs to be better incorporated into a systematic planning process. This will aid the strategic management of such information and better enable the implementation of strategies aimed at enhancing destination competitiveness.","PeriodicalId":130558,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Planning & Development","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116198511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed conceptual framework brings together two approaches, namely the theories of industry organization (IO) and the resource-based view (RBV). The proposition underlying this framework is that destination competitiveness is achieved by the adoption of policies and strategies aligned with market opportunities, drawing upon the unique or distinctive tourism features offered by the destination. It is proposed that three major influences are evident in the case of hot springs tourism, namely tourism destination resources and attractors, tourism destination strategies and tourism destination environments. An evaluation is provided of the administration of a three-round Delphi survey, which was intended to validate the determinants of destination competitiveness that were derived from the literature. Drawing upon the results of the pilot study it is concluded that the development of a sector-specific model of destination competitiveness is capable of capturing the nature and characteristics of the hot springs tourism sector.","PeriodicalId":130558,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Planning & Development","volume":"341 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128579811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
