Perceived impacts
of tourism: The Case of Samos, Pages 503-526 This study investigates the impacts of tourism, as perceived by the residents of Pythagorion, a well-established tourism destination on the Greek island of Samos. Interviews conducted with heads of households revealed that residents not only supported the current magnitude of the tourism industry but also favored its expansion. Despite this, the respondents identified a number of negative tourism impacts, which, in their opinion, affected the town. These impacts included high prices, drug addiction, vandalism, brawls, sexual harassment and crimes. The study reconfirmed that those respondents who were economically dependent on tourism had more positive attitudes towards the industry than those who were not dependent on it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Determinants
of inbound tourist expenditures, Pages 527-542 This study provides estimates of demand function for international inbound tourist expenditures in South Korea. Econometric models for eight origin countries were constructed using selected variables. The empirical results show that income is most significant for all countries in explaining the international demand for South Korean tourism. The variables of relative prices and real exchange rates were also found to be significant and elastic. However, the effects of the oil crises and the 1988 Olympic Games on the demand for Korean tourism appear to be insignificant. Alternative schemes were explored to deal with the problems of serial correlation and multicollinearity, which are frequently encountered in econometric models using time series data. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ecotourism questioned:
Case Studies from Belize, Pages 543-562 Ecotourism has become a buzzword within the tourism, conservation and rural development fields. Significant economic and political resources have been devoted to ecotourism on the assumption that it achieves conservation and development objectives. This article evaluates the extent to which tourism at case study sites in Belize achieves three ecotourism objectives: generation of financial support for protected area management, generation of local economic benefits and generation of local support for conservation. When using positive net financial impact as a standard, tourism does not achieve the first objective, but could do so with implementation of a modest user fee. Tourism achieves the second and third objectives. The methodologies utilized are presented to encourage their refinement and application elsewhere. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Differences
between tourism and recreation in parks, Pages 563-575 Tourism means different things to different people. How they define it and how they differentiate between tourism and recreation in national parks reflect their attitudes to the appropriateness of tourism as a park use. This paper reports on a study of leaders of interest groups that have become involved in the political debate over tourism in the Alpine National Park in the state of Victoria, Australia. The study reveals that tourism is an imprecise concept and that the distinction between it and recreation falls along a seven-staged continuum. A strong relationship exists between opinion leaders' definitions of tourism and their responses to a series of attitudinal statements about its acceptability inside the park. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The legacy of
Kevin Lynch: Research Implications, Pages 576-598 Tourism studies can benefit from the addition of new conceptual approaches from influential multidisciplinary scholars. The work of Kevin Lynch, a planner and designer, represents one such tradition of scholarship. His work is reviewed and his influence on two major areas of inquiry -- environmental psychology and general planning -- is outlined. Lynch's actual and potential contribution to tourism studies is seen to be both methodological (such as the use of cognitive maps, ideagrams, and user perspectives) and conceptual, including an emphasis on regional distinctiveness, human scale evaluation, the meaning of place and time, and the sensory qualities of well-designed environments. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contents of
tour packages: A Cross-Cultural Comparison, Pages 599-616 Brochures were used to compare the contents of tour packages through European countries. The tours originated in the United Kingdom, Denmark, and Israel, all situated on the fringes of Europe. It was assumed that both actual and perceived distance between originating country and destination would be associated with the numbers and variety of such tours available from a particular country. This assumption was largely supported by the findings. This article discusses structural and cultural reasons for differences among the countries, as well as the possible changes to be expected as a result of recent geopolitical developments among these countries. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourism in transition
in post-Soviet Estonia, Pages 617-634 The newly-independent states which emerged after the collapse of the Soviet Union are now in a transition from a centrally-planned economy to a market economy. This paper presents a case study of Estonia. The earlier tourism model is reviewed as a historical background to the contemporary situation. During the Soviet period, there was substantial state investment in tourism in the capital city. Foreign tourism was highly dependent on a single market, Finland, and this dependency continues today. The transition to a market economy is made up of democratization, decollectivization of agriculture, privatization of state enterprises, and land and property reform. This paper discusses tourism flows, assesses Estonia's tourism market, and proposes development strategies. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Linkages between
tourism and food production, Pages 635-653 The relationships between food production and tourism range from conflict over competition for land, labor and capital to symbiosis where both sectors mutually benefit from each other. This paper reviews the literature on relationships between food production, particularly agriculture and tourism. It then examines the efforts of a resort on the island of Lombok, Indonesia, to increase the amount of local food products used in its restaurants through the establishment of two projects involving local food producers. It is argued that there is potential to increase backward linkages between tourism and local food production but that there are substantial challenges to be overcome in doing so. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourism and
environmental degradation in Sochi, Russia, Pages 654-665 Fuel energetics, motor transport, and industrial resort and tourist enterprises all contribute to environmental pollution in the Sochi region of the Black Sea Coast of Russia. The rapid growth of the resort and tourism branch of the economy results in environmental degradation, because present technologies violate today's ecology standards. Solutions to this extreme ecological situation must take into account the concept of the special economic and ecological region and the specific instruments of legal regulation necessary to control the state of the environment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourist accidents:
An Exploratory Analysis, Pages 666-690 Health issues associated with international tourism are now attracting interest from diverse researchers as they examine the interconnections between health and tourism. Despite this new popularity, no mainstream tourism journal has published any substantial research study on this topic to date. This article examines one area of tourist health hitherto neglected in studies of travel medicine: tourist accidents. The paper commences with a review of the existing literature on tourist accidents and examines the situation in New Zealand using a number of unique data sources generated by the Accident Compensation Corporation and the Land Transport Safety Authority. Trends in international tourist accidents are discussed and the implications for their prevention are examined. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Discussion,
