Far too little attention has been paid to the domestic products of handicraft, which is a source of cultural heritage. The purpose of this study is twofold. It aims to reveal the contribution of domestic products of handicraft to the promotion of a destination. It also attempts to evaluate the local residents’ perception of the culture tourism as an alternative tourism product for sustainable tourism development. A qualitative research method is used in this study. The study results reveal that while domestic products of handicraft are a part of cultural heritage, they are not sufficiently appreciated by policy-makers and planners. It is found that the political and economic instability affect destination development in a negative way and that the difficulties faced in efforts to sustain the cultural heritage resources are the most important factors that stand against sustainable development. The results also indicated that the local community has a positive attitude towards the sustainability of the cultural tourism and that there is a lack of cooperation among the stakeholders in realizing this development.","PeriodicalId":46712,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45456250","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}

Portal to Peru is a Website project that provides visitors with exhibits, digital stories and interactive novels, and access to the permanent collection based on the Center for Traditional Textiles (CTTC) in Cusco, Peru. To begin exploring the question of whether and how using the site before going abroad may or may not help prepare eventual travelers to South America to be more informed and thoughtful tourists, we administered a pre-departure survey to a class of Latin American Studies students at a Florida university before their trip to Cusco, and a post-visit survey upon their return, along with having them study the Website for a limited period of time in between. Although preliminary, the results suggest modest gains in certain areas of knowledge and changes in attitudes, although more work is to be done both in terms of testing and in refining the approach the Website takes based on user feedback.","PeriodicalId":46712,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42162552","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}

The authors investigate how experiences of at-homeness are reinvented through touring memories and practices of personal memory tourism. Repeated travels to diverse personal memory sites are analysed through the personal, autobiographic memories of residents of Slovenia as (mostly domestic) homecoming tourists. With the method of semi-structured in-depth interviews, the authors gathered 124 personal life-histories of revisiting and experiencing different places. Grasping the tensions inherent in these movements, the article identifies three distinct registers of homecoming tourism, the oscillation between two opposing patterns of appropriating the place (navigating vs. inhabiting the place), the frictions in family rituals and place sacralization which destabilize one’s narrative of the place, and the issue of disenchantment whilst re-embedding and questioning one’s belonging to a place. The findings emphasize that these persistent ambivalences repetitively delay one’s return to (mythical) home, indicating thereby the fragility of reconstructions of (a lost) home. The authors conclude that there is a particular dialectic relationship between the idea of movement and the notion of home as it is articulated in the phenomenon of personal-memory tourism.","PeriodicalId":46712,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44957999","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}

Some subsectors of the industry have suffered much more than others, particularly the tour guiding profession, which has been damaged considerably. The primary role of the tour guide, which is to interact with visitors’ face-to-face, has changed significantly. The purpose of this article is to outline how COVID-19 has affected local tour guides and the guiding profession; and assess the future outlook for the profession. Qualitative data were analyzed using an inductive approach involving 10 in-depth interviews with local tour guides and several virtual guided tours. Results reveal that the current situation in local guiding has highlighted issues such as the fragility of the profession, the lack of legal protection, and guides’ vulnerability when faced with the threat of unfair competition from free tours. The study also highlights the passivity of many professionals, whereas other, more resilient tour guides have reactivated their profession in new ways. The findings contribute to knowledge on how the pandemic has impacted the tour guiding profession, and sheds light on how local tour guides can cope with the future.","PeriodicalId":46712,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47185622","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}

Tourists mainly focus on the very center of Poznan – the Old Town, which is one of the most historic districts of the city. The aim of this research was to show whether Poznan is a place potentially threatened by overtourism, which affects the quality of life of its residents and negatively influences their experience of living in the city. The paper also attempts to prove that as a result of gentrification and the city’s revitalization of social spaces and socio-spatial processes, the indigenous cultural and social fabric of the city is being destroyed. The research used a comparative method, source analysis and uncategorized in-depth interviews with snowball sampling. The study showed that overtourism is not yet present in Poznan, but if the direction of tourism development in the city does not change in the coming years, overtourism could be a threat. The case of Poznan shows that its residents perceive the phenomenon of losing the benefits of everyday life in the city center and increasingly feel alien in a space with which they have been associated for years.","PeriodicalId":46712,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44258803","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}

The emergence of responsible tourism in the 1990s was a call to action, and for a move from setting agendas (sustainable tourism) to stakeholder accountability. As tourism is still developing in Nigeria, this paper discusses strategies for supporting responsible tourism development in the Southeastern region of the country. Semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions were organized with 166 stakeholders, including staff of tourism parastatals, traditional rulers, the representatives of men, women and youth and local security agencies. Findings identified possible strategies for determining if, when and how responsible tourism development might occur. These strategies include stakeholder empowerment, funding for tourism supporting facilities, boosting security and capacity for implementing tourism policies. The findings suggest that if well implemented, the tourism strategies are central to achieving future resident and tourist friendly development.","PeriodicalId":46712,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2021-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44302970","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 article explores the Venetian’s function in China’s National New-Type Urbanization Plan, a macro-economic initiative implemented in 2014 by China’s central government. The project aims to urbanize hundreds of millions of rural Chinese citizens in hopes that these new urbanites will create a domestic consumption economy powerful enough to sustain economic growth. One key to enhancing urban consumption levels is fostering what Louis Wirth called ‘urbanism as a way of life’ – the density, heterogeneity, and anonymity of urban experience that stimulates market activity. Drawing on indigenous Chinese theories of education, and China’s pedagogical use of normative models to guide ethical behavior, this article analyzes the Venetian as an encapsulated model city in this national urbanization plan. It explores how tourists in the Venetian experience a normative mode of ‘urbanism as a way of life’ that comports post-socialist consumers, and contributes to the country’s economic development. As a privatized urban enclosure, the Venetian constitutes an architectonic resolution to the inherent contradiction of China’s macro-economic planning, and the risks that urbanization poses to the central government.","PeriodicalId":46712,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2021-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46602993","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}

Results indicate that tourist memory can enrich individuals’ identity and nostalgia through the childhood landscape. Moreover, the childhood landscape shaped from tourism experiences affects the long-term development processes of tourists’ personalities, parenting, and life attitudes.

As inbound international tourism remains unlikely to return to pre-COVID-19 levels for the foreseeable future, the importance of domestic tourism has become further pronounced, most notably in regions that have been affected by major declines in tourist flows. This exploratory qualitative study reports on regional South Australians’ participation in domestic tourism during the pandemic and the factors that have influenced how they travel. Our findings reveal that participants had predominantly engaged in self-drive tourism due to the feelings of safety it offered in contrast to other modes of transport, the opportunities it permitted in fostering reconnections and supporting wellbeing, and because of its ability to evoke positive feelings and emotions that were structured around adventure and discovery. Moreover, it was additionally observed that self-drive tourism offered practical opportunities to engage in altruistic pursuits to support crisis-affected regions across the state. Therefore, this paper offers timely insights into the behaviours of regional South Australians during the pandemic and how they utilised self-drive tourism to support both personal and community recovery from the impacts of multiple crises across the state.","PeriodicalId":46712,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2021-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44108702","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}
