Heritage and
postmodern tourism, Pages 249-260 The complex relationships between tourism and heritage are revealed in the tensions between tradition and modernity. The role of heritage in postmodern tourism is examined, particularly built heritage, which is at the heart of cultural tourism. Four challenging issues in linking heritage and tourism are discussed: interpretation, marketing built heritage, planning for heritage, and the interdependencies between heritage tourism and the local community. Differences in approaches to the four issues indicate that heritage tourism raises more than planning and management issues for developing countries; they are fundamentally the problems of development. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Production and
consumption of European cultural tourism, Pages 261-283 A transnational study of European cultural tourism demand and supply indicates a rapid increase in both the production and consumption of heritage attractions. Although heritage tourism demand has been fueled by rising income and education levels, there has also been a significant supply-induced element of demand. In particular, those engaged in cultural production play a key role in exploiting the cultural capital concentrated in the major historic centers of Europe. Spatially localized production of heritage is intimately linked with socially limited consumption of heritage tourism by groups within the "new middle class", rendering attempts to spread tourism consumption through heritage promotion difficult. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Urban heritage
tourism : The global-local nexus, Pages 284-305 Heritage tourism is seen as a way to bolster struggling urban economies and redevelop municipal spaces. Attempts to understand the processes and outcomes associated with urban heritage tourism development usually fall into one of two groupings: a "top-down" perspective stressing the role of global factors and external actors in driving urban redevelopment; and a "bottom-up" perspective focusing on local influences. This paper argues for an integrative approach. The case studies of Montreal and Singapore show that while similar macro-scale processes have pushed both cities to adopt heritage tourism as an urban redevelopment strategy the final outcomes reflect important local influences. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourism in European
heritage cities, Pages 306-321 Heritage cities attract many visitors, generating benefits and costs. When the costs exceed the benefits, tourism development is no longer sustainable, and interventions become necessary. In order to develop guidelines to help heritage cities manage their tourism more adequately, the tourism market and policy of seven art cities were analyzed: Aix-en-Provence, Amsterdam, Bruges, Florence, Oxford, Salzburg and Venice. It was shown that tourism is menacing not only the vitality of their local economies, but also the integrity of their heritage and the quality of life of their residents. Measures to control and guide visitor flows are urgently needed. In reality, tourism management in the heritage cities does not go much further than promotion. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Consuming (in)
the civilized city, Pages 322-340 This paper examines the creation of the city of York as a tourism destination. It is argued that changes to the process of capital accumulation in advanced industrial societies have led to the revaluation and commodification of place at a local level. Part of this process has been the creation of heritage as a tangible asset in the form of spatial narratives, and this in turn is linked to changing patterns of consumer retail activity. It is argued that tourism should not be conceptualized as a distinct activity but rather as a form of consumption in the context of both local and global changes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mines and quarries
: Industrial heritage tourism, Pages 341-363 This article explores the tourism potential of industrial sites in general and more specifically of mining areas. Such tourism attractions could be included within the broader framework of heritage tourism. Limited attention has, however, been focused on them, unlike other better-known and developed forms of heritage tourism. The article examines the importance and perception of mines and quarries as foci for industrial heritage tourism and its expansion during the last decades. It discusses a typological framework of industrial heritage sites; and to offer a vision of the different consideration of this industrial heritage, the article concludes with case studies from Wales and Spain. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scanning museum
visitors : Urban tourism marketing, Pages 364-375 The role of museums in developing urban tourism is researched with special attention to the motivation constructs of visitors and the possible added value of a "museumpark". Interviews with visitors were held in order to identify their motivation. The laddering technique was used to analyze the data. Both the interviews and the survey results can be used for the purpose of strategic positioning of the museum and cultural urban tourism. Marketing implications can be deduced from core motives. In addition, for urban authorities and tourism marketers, the motivation and behavior patterns of museum visitors offer interesting clues when developing an attractive urban tourism product. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mindful visitors
: Heritage and tourism, Pages 376-397 This paper begins with the premise that interpretation is the key to ensuring the quality of the tourism experience and argues that successful interpretation is critical both for the effective management and conservation of built heritage sites and for sustainable tourism. The paper introduces the concept of mindfulness and outlines its use in developing a model for designing effective interpretation at built heritage sites. A supporting set of principles for this design is provided. It is argued that mindfulness is an integrating concept that can be used to enhance the quality of visitor experiences and create a sustainable link between tourism and built heritage. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Historic houses
and special events, Pages 398-414 Heritage resource managers use events to generate publicity, attract crowds, create new entertainment forms, enhance education, preserve folk culture, celebrate ethnic diversity and raise money. This study investigates recurring events that are related to historic houses. Community festivals formally recognize historic houses as community leisure resources, but relegate them to peripheral status. Stand-alone house tours showcase historic houses and capitalize on their intrinsic appeal. Living history events show that historic houses are appropriate environments for learning about and enjoying many aspects of yesteryear's lifestyles. Key megatrends in the area of historic event production include rapidly growing competition, the professionalization of management and the proliferation of living history events. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Magic kingdom
or a quixotic quest for authenticity?, Pages 415-431 This paper attempts to look at the practices of interpretation involved in heritage tourism. Instead of focusing on artefacts as images of the past, it investigates the interpretive and communicative work needed to make sense of built heritage. The examples used are a Tudor manor house in the southeast of England, where each year a living history event is staged, and a reenactment society that portrays the events of the British Civil War at historic properties. Participant observation provided the method to examine the activities of interpretation education and the production of a sense of realism and "authenticity". The paper argues that heritage is a much more self-reflexive activity than commonly portrayed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- National heritage
and global tourism in Thailand, Pages 432-448 This article examines the relevance of Thailand's heritage attractions to both international and domestic tourism. It also analyzes the state tourism agency's promotion of heritage and the ideological implications of heritage sightseeing in relation to the official historical narrative. Despite the present emphasis on cultural tourism, heritage is still of marginal significance for international visitors; yet, it constitutes a major attraction for the expanding domestic tourism sector. Study data are interpreted within the context of Thailand's cultural and social change. The increase of privately managed heritage attractions, at the end, is seen as a potential challenge to state-sanctioned definitions of national history and identity. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much room
at the inn?, Pages 449-462 The rich built heritage of the Himalayas has great but currently under-exploited tourism potential. Nowhere is this seen more clearly than in the Tibetan kingdom of L (Upper Mustang) with its intact network of medieval inns. Despite local pressure for a distinctive heritage tourism product based around upgraded inns, conventional tent-based trekking tourism still predominates. Alternatives include the construction of new trekking lodges or alteration of existing vernacular buildings. Either development would lessen the perceived authenticity of the tourist experience and diminish L's attractiveness. This article discusses the potential for inn development and a pilot scheme to record both inns and other features of L's built heritage within the general context of built heritage conservation in the Himalayas. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diversified
funding methods in Mexican archeology, Pages 463-478 The budget problems of the Mexican government and its need to reduce the fiscal deficit have led to financial stress for many activities that used to depend economically on the government. This paper uses the contingent valuation method to estimate individuals' willingness to pay for consumption and preservation of the archeological zones in Mexico. Its purpose is to estimate the valuation of these archeological zones in order to study the opportunities for increasing and diversifying funding raising through the implementation of non-linear price schedules. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Developing sustainable
