A total of 25 local famers were interviewed and 3 interviews were conducted on the employees from a major external tourism developing company. The text data transcribed from interviews were categorized and analyzed within the framework of the adaptive cycle. The findings indicate that becoming a Gaochun town is an external disturbance to the activation of system release and reorganization, and the subsequent support and tourism policies from the local government can be regarded as an improvement force that accelerates the system into the phase of exploitation and then into a new cycle. Secondly, rapid rural tourism development didn’t last for a long time before confronting bottlenecks at the crossing of development. Local farmers prefer to stay in the conservation phase in the form of tourism cooperatives, while the government prefers to push the system into the phase of release and reorganization again by attracting external companies to invest on and manage the tourism development without involving local farmers. Both the advantages and disadvantages of those different approaches, as well as management implications, were discussed.","PeriodicalId":46712,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2021-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42297438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cultural anxiety is based on the construction of danger for people and places threatened by the arrival of many mobile Others and echoes anti-immigration discourse, typical of Right-wing populism; similarities can be seen also in terms of discursive strategies such as instilling fear, praising the past, opposing we-locals vs them, personalizing the Other and devices such as metaphors of danger, quantification, and exclusive deixis. Economic anxiety is based on the construction of winners and losers and resonates with a Left-wing populist discourse reclaiming wealth redistribution and popular sovereignty; similarities concern discursive strategies such as opposing we/loser/People vs them/winners/Elite; praising the People and despising the Elite; depersonalizing the Other; and devices such as metaphors, qualification, and inclusive deixis. The analysis also revealed the ideological dilemmas of this anti-tourism discourse, including the conflicting relationship with cosmopolitanism, asymmetry in the right to the city, an economic conception of tourists as resources, the horizontal (elsewhere) and vertical (above) displacement of the outgroup (Elite) to preserve the ingroup (People) homogeneity and inclusiveness.","PeriodicalId":46712,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2021-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48561963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A notable feature of the current Korean–Chinese migrant group in Korea is the emergence of third generation tour guides. The in-depth interviews with 12 third generation Korean–Chinese tour guides were conducted and analyzed within the grounded theory framework. A total of 110 concepts in 27 subcategories making up 11 main categories are derived. The results of axial coding indicated that the causal condition was ‘to become a tour guide in Korea’. The central phenomena that have been emerging in the characteristics and migrant networks of third generation Korean–Chinese tour guides are ‘nostalgia’ and ‘our stressful life in Korea’. Contextual conditions are ‘socio-cultural distance’ and the ‘vulnerabilities of the job environment’, while the intervening conditions are ‘transnational networks’, ‘use of SNS (Social network system)’, ‘colleagues like family’, and ‘comfortable life’. Actions/interactions are moderated by ‘migrant networks’ and consequences are shown to be ‘identity formation’. The core category of this study is thus ‘embracing socio-cultural realities and forming diverse identities through migrant networks’.

To capture the gaze of tourists, promotional tourism literature of Cancún, the Riviera Maya, and the Grand Costa Maya feature common imagery used to promote other tropical environs. To set this destination apart, representations of Mayan Culture, such as archaeological ruins and ‘timeless’ Mayan villages, are used. As the tourism industry seeped its way inland to Valladolid, Maya women from Xocén now have more direct interaction with tourists. With the commodification of various aspects of contemporary Maya culture, Maya women use these representations to sell their heritage to tourists for financial gain. As these commodified aspects are essential components to Maya women’s lives, such as the 'iipil (traditional dress) and the daily work they do in their homes, Maya women can ‘perform’ and ‘fashion’ their heritage to reflect the modern tastes of tourists and themselves. Maya women play an active role in changing these outdated representations of their culture by asserting their modernity and in this process, reap some financial benefit, as well as promote and preserve their heritage.","PeriodicalId":46712,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2021-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41667442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They become tourism spaces in the context of particular interactions among multiple stakeholders, including local governments and tourism enterprises. Yet the processes for and approaches to transforming urban waterfronts into tourism spaces remain under-researched. Based on the lens of Lefebvre’s space production theory, this research explores how tourism spaces are generated in the waterfront area of Pearl River in Guangzhou that originally featured no tourism attributes. The city government has conceived the shifting representations of space for the Pearl River waterfront over time including commercial space, scenery space, and a showcase of a prosperous city image, but neglected tourism development. Cruise companies are the key entity facilitating the spatial processes of the Pearl River Tour. The approach to space production presents itself as a means of ‘borrowed production,’ where cruise companies produce tourism spaces by embedding themselves into government plans and flexibly utilizing public projects that significantly improve waterfront infrastructure and views. This study contributes to the literature on tourism space production by clarifying the negotiating relationship between urban politics and tourism enterprises.","PeriodicalId":46712,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2021-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14766825.2021.1962893","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44611258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, data were collected in Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Turkey as drug destinations between 2016 and 2020. Accordingly, while drug use in daily life is for escaping from daily life and recreational purposes, drug use while traveling occurs within the pursuit of happiness. As a result of their pursuit of happiness, drug tourists (as neo tribes) engage in social behaviors such as building strong social relations, feeling a sense of freedom, being in an entertaining atmosphere, and living the local culture. As a result, drug tourists see travel as a process from escape to seeking.","PeriodicalId":46712,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2021-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41254309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This decision is influenced by tourist demand, local community needs, and economic benefits to stakeholders. Planners and entrepreneurs of new recreational resorts and hotels must take environmental implications into consideration as well as their responsibility in relation to them. This study addresses the relations between theories of tourism and seaside hotel location, the sustainability paradigm and the development of sustainable tourism, and land use conflicts engendered by the sensitivity of seaside tourism development to environmental and cultural sustainability issues. The aim of the study is to examine and analyze tourism vs. sustainability considerations of seaside hotel location, and to enumerate some of the principles to be considered suitable for optimal hotel placement in order to reduce land use conflicts on the subject. The methodology is qualitative and includes in-depth interviews with experts, tourism planners, entrepreneurs, decision makers and stakeholders involved in tourism development and environmental issues in Israel.
