An empirical
analysis of oligopolistic hotel pricing, Pages 501-516 Inflexible supply and volatile demand make the resort industry one where the effects of oligopoly are destabilizing. Theoretical Ricardian models predict that such instability should be asymmetrically related to the state of demand. High and stable prices characterize periods of excess demand. However periods of excess supply are characterized by prices that are downwardly inflexible and do not reflect the true state of demand. Data from Bermuda resort hotels are used to test these predictions. The study found that during periods of excess demand, prices are well-behaved. However, during periods of excess supply, prices are unrepresentative of the state of demand. Thus, the Ricardian model is supported by the data. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peripheral tourism:
Development and Management, Pages 517-534 This article outlines the economic, environmental, and social problems encountered in developing and managing tourism in peripheral regions. These include large economic leakages from tourism expenditures, difficulties in providing and maintaining touristic infrastructure, and managing its environmental conservation and social impacts. The growth of tourism on Cape York Peninsula (Australia) is taken as an example and use made of the results of a survey of tourists and of tourism operators. This region is distant from large urban centers, is relatively underdeveloped, and contains a proportionately high aboriginal population. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Travel life
cycle, Pages 535-552 This article surveys changing tourism patterns along three time horizons: the last three decades, across the life cycle, and between successive generations. Based on empirical longitudinal data, the study suggests that the patterns and destination choice have changed with respect to all three perspectives. Younger generations gain different experiences as compared to previous generations and are likely to have different tourism patterns in later life stages. This has important implications for destinations that rely on the elderly market. Using longitudinal approaches, insights can be gained in changing destination choice across the life cycle and between successive generations, and it can complement traditional cross-sectional studies. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just tourism:
An Ethical Framework, Pages 553-567 This paper proposes an ethical framework for tourism services delivery. It makes a distinction between a paradigmatic ethic and an operational code of ethics, and offers a perspective on the evolution of ethics in general and of tourism ethics in particular. A brief review of extant literature on the subject suggests five general categories of literature that deal with ethical issues in tourism: issues related to ecological impacts, marketing, sustainable development, humanistic and social concerns, and education. Since tourism educational materials do not appear to deal adequately with ethnical issues, the paper proposes a paradigm and discusses the issue of infusing ethics into tourism education. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marketing Mayas:
Ethnic Tourism Promotion in Mexico, Pages 568-588 The role of the federal and state-level government, of the national intelligentsia, and of the local entrepreneurial bourgeoisie in the development of ethnic tourism in Mexico has been complex. This study focuses on the Maya culture area in the Chiapas highlands, in and around the mestizo-dominated city of San Cristóbal de las Casas. Locally, the government has acted as a general modernizing agent and thus prepared the ground for ethnic tourism. But the development of a specific tourist infrastructure and the marketing of Mayas has been largely a response of the local mestizo bourgeoisie to a burgeoning new economic niche. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourism and
heritage conservation in Singapore, Pages 589-615 Using a survey of tourists and locals, this study investigates the success of Singapore's Civic and Cultural District as a conservation project. The survey revealed that tourists were attracted by the facades of old colonial buildings that have been carefully restored. In contrast, Singaporeans attach a great deal more to activities and lifestyles within the district that have since been removed or have disappeared because of conservation. Planning authorities have concentrated mainly on the issue of economic viability and favor commercial activities such as retail and recreation/leisure. As such, Singaporeans feel that conservation in the district, because it "museumizes" or makes "elitist" to encourage tourism, has failed to preserve their heritage. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourism destination
marketing alliances, Pages 616-629 Tourism destination marketing involves many stakeholders and a complex product offer. Complexity and interdependency among stakeholders have resulted in the creation of many local tourism marketing alliances. The nature of their environments influences the domain over which they have authority. This paper uses a model describing the coverage, form, mode, and motivation of an alliance. A comparison of UK and USA alliances indicates that the domain of the latter are more constrained by the social, economic, and political environment in which they operate. Prescriptions for local tourism marketing alliances should not be made without understanding the needs of stakeholders and the constraints of their environments. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prestige-worthy
tourism behavior, Pages 630-649 The conference of prestige is often acknowledged in the leisure travel literature but rarely investigated. Based on "long interviews" and a modified grounded-theory analysis procedure, this paper investigates the underlying dimensions of travel-related prestige and the relationship of the prestige conferrer to the conferree. Relative exclusivity and personal/empathetic desirability were found to be the two underlying dimensions of prestige-worthy leisure travel. The prestige conferrence relationship was a concomitant act of observer-acknowledged desire and deferrence for the person engaged in the act of leisure travel. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Modernist anthropology
and tourism of the authentic, Pages 650-670 Tourism, in addition to being big business, is a strategy for framing and interpreting cultural difference. The driving ideology behind tourism is a form of exotopy, or appropriation of otherness. It shares this exotopic function with anthropology, which is Western culture's official discourse of alterity. Semiotically, tourism and modernist anthropology are oppositionally linked. That is, while their experiential and narrative strategies are opposed, they can both be mapped onto the same general space, by means of semiotic square, and can be shown to overlap. In the postmodern era, both anthropological and touristic ideologies are breaking down, as ethnographic and touristic practices increasingly overlap. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The value of
forests for tourism in Sweden, Pages 671-680 Sweden has a vast quantity of forests and the Right of Common Access allows tourists to freely enter any forest no matter who owns it. An economic valuation study was carried out in two tourism areas, one in the southern part of the country and one in the northern part. It was shown that a considerable portion of the value to tourists is attributable to forest characteristics. Furthermore, the results suggest that this value can be increased by modifying forest management practices; for example, by making clearcuts smaller, even if there were more of them, and by increasing the proportion of broad leaved trees in forest stands. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Discussion,
