This paper considers these aspects in relation to the contexts of “place” depicted in films, how streets, quarters, landscapes and countries are portrayed and projected. Consequently, film is considered as a lens through which places can be studied. Furthermore, this study of places through film is situated in the context of global and local networks of influence on viewers. The way these places are “read” by different audiences is explored. The findings indicate that film viewers differ in their relation to the places depicted in films resulting in a variety of meanings attributed to (aspects of) these places and a variety of experiences. Furthermore, there is the hybrid nature that most “populations” have, and the need, consequently, in the study of places through film, to recognize the ambiguous circumstances that most cultural/sub-cultural “peoples” experience.","PeriodicalId":130558,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Planning & Development","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131628968","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}

As an exploratory case study based on visual image analysis, this paper examines the context and meanings of photographs taken by tourists who are re-enacting scenes from the series during their visit to Nami Island, the main filming location of Winter Sonata, in South Korea. The photographs are compared with the still images of original scenes in the series. The findings of this comparison suggest that previous viewing experiences of the television series not only created personalised memories and attachment with its filming location, but also produced new touristic spaces. The previous viewing experiences also induced the audiences to visit the filming locations and to perform reflexive and extraordinary touristic experiences in the form of re-enacting scenes from the series and photographing their re-enactment.","PeriodicalId":130558,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Planning & Development","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127027816","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}

This internationally significant historical and religious site has the potential to become one of the most popular stops on the regional Holy Land tourism circuit. The work up to date has identified 15 related sites, dated to the Roman and Byzantine periods, within an area of about 600 hectares. Most of the excavated sites are still under conservation and restoration and provide great challenges for the cultural heritage society. However, while the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities of Jordan and other interested stakeholders and individuals believe that the site should be developed appropriately, people involved with conservation are generally more conservative and reluctant to encourage the use of the site for tourism purposes and activities, before understanding and evaluating the potential impacts. The infrastructure system adapted to the site still suffers from many deficiencies, mainly related to insufficient planning practices, acting as a challenge for tourism and local community development. There is a need to evaluate and develop an appropriate religious and eco-tourism plan, to enhance consistent conservation within such a fragile historical and eco-religious context. This approach should consider several parameters related to a “sustainable holy and eco-site”, such as the environmental, spiritual, religious values, architecture, landscape qualities, and human comfort. This can mainly be achieved through systematic site management and planning, taking into consideration the issues of controlling use and monitoring in all phases of preservation and developing the site for modern use. This paper attempts to present and evaluate, the impact of activities and services to the cultural significance of the site, taking into consideration the area status and the site's particularity and capacities. This will be achieved through: 1) a general understanding of why the baptism archaeological site should be preserved, by evaluating its cultural significance, the existing conditions, and defining the causes of deterioration and threats (natural and human), and 2) understanding how the cultural significance and the attraction factors of the baptism site, should guide and direct the management plan.","PeriodicalId":130558,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Planning & Development","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133747471","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 questions concern out-migrants’ reasons for leaving the island and the extent to which second-home development had an impact on their migration decision.

Noting that previous research has emphasised the importance of host, guest, and destination characteristics as significant influences over visitor experience quality, the paper proposes that one important relationship that emerges from that circumstance has been largely overlooked—local people's attitudes towards life in their own communities. The paper analyses the views of 575 residents of three small city communities in three different countries, in an attempt to establish the nature of relationship between perceptions of life in those communities and attitudes towards temporary visitors. Results indicate that residents are generally able to distinguish between the appeal of community as a place to live and as a place to visit, and that the character of this distinction can present as a paradoxical contrast between a clear intention to recommend as a visitor destination, and a degree of ambiguity towards the prospect of increased visitor activity. These findings will be of value to those regional and local government agencies that are responsible for the long-term planning of visitor facilities, and for the enhancement of the visitor experience in a manner consistent with local resident support and endorsement.","PeriodicalId":130558,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Planning & Development","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125195832","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}

Environmental sustainability is a key issue for the hospitality industry in terms of water, power consumption and waste production. However, how important is environmental sustainability for operators, particularly for small operators that because of their size may not have the means and support to be “environmentally friendly”? This study explores this question from the perspective of 21 small hospitality entrepreneurs (SHEs) located in a traditional college town in the South-eastern United States. While there is acknowledgement of the importance of being environmentally friendly, only a small number of operators were actively involved in environmentally sustainable practices. A common concern was the lack of support from local authorities (city council) in facilitating basic infrastructure such as recycling bins for different materials. The absence of a common environmentally friendly culture may have direct impacts on the image of the industry as well as on its customers.","PeriodicalId":130558,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Planning & Development","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128936702","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 Bragantina region, located in the north of the São Paulo metropolis, is nowadays its last urban frontier. Due to difficult access, this region underwent a slow urbanization process that allowed the conservation of an historical and cultural patrimony dating back to the colonial period and of significant remnants of Atlantic forest, one of the tropical forests most threatened with extinction in the world. The doubling of the regional highways that took place in the last 15 years has brought profound changes to the Bragantina region. Nowadays this region is intensively used as a tourist destination for weekend homeowners, events and environmental tourism. Visitors come mainly to explore its natural and cultural aspects, that are sold by real-estate agents and tourism agents, mainly through the use of images in advertisements and folders, as a piece of “wild nature” still preserved on the borders of São Paulo. This approach creates a perspective, described as a simulacrum, a false reality, that is reflected in the ideas of nature held by different tourists and other social actors, but that doesn't express the regional reality. Because intensification of land use has not been accompanied by effective conservation, public policies or involvement of local communities in regional planning, the historical, cultural and environmental patrimony is suffering a range of impacts. In this study we analyse the problems generated by tourism and urbanization in the Bragantina region that have resulted from the expansion of the São Paulo metropolis and characterize ideas of nature that are expressed by different social actors, including tourists, that seem to relate to and to perceive the Bragantina region as an unspoiled and preserved natural area where “nature” can still be found, and where natural resources are saved from environmental degradation, in spite of the actual environmental and cultural changes.","PeriodicalId":130558,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Planning & Development","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125997351","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}
