Sport tourism
as the celebration of subculture, Pages 275-291 Tournaments designed to attract sport participants to a destination have become significant elements of tourism marketing. This study examines participants' motives for traveling to a women's flag football tournament. In addition to collection of observational data, participants were interviewed, tournament communications analyzed, and tournament records reviewed. It is shown that participants seek opportunities to share and affirm their identities as football players. It is the occasion to celebrate a subculture shared with others from distant places, rather than the site itself, that attracts them. Implications for marketing and for theories of sport tourism are discussed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peripheries
of the periphery : Tourism in Tobago and Barbuda, Pages 292-313 Using the two Caribbean archipelagic states of Trinidad and Tobago and Antigua and Barbuda as case studies, this paper explores the interaction between tourism and the internal core-periphery relationships which exist between dominant and subordinate islands. It was found that Antigua functions as a tourism facilitating internal core in that its role in Barbudan tourism is limited to the facilitation of foreign involvement in the sector. Trinidad, in contrast, because of its greater wealth, has functioned as a tourism participatory internal core, wherein significant involvement in Tobago is extended to include the generation of domestic tourists and tourism investment. In these cases, tourism was identified as a centrifugal force which both reflects and amplifies existing core-periphery relationships. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accommodation
employment patterns and opportunities, Pages 314-339 International tourism forms an integral part of many Third World development strategies. The economic benefits associated with tourism are especially pronounced. This article examines economic change related to tourism, particularly employment within the accommodation sector. By assessing the local economic patterns and opportunities associated with accommodation sector employment on the islands of Samui and Phuket, Thailand, the article indicates that different historical, demographic, and economic conditions have greatly affected the structure and operation of the sector. Thus future planning of tourism development in Samui and Phuket must take into account how particular local conditions foster different types of accommodation sector leakages, linkages, and economic opportunities. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Perceived attractiveness
of korean destinations, Pages 340-361 This paper examines five Korean destinations in terms of psychological or perceptual assessment of their attributes. The attribute identifications, along with the perceptual positions of destinations, were investigated using the multidimensional scaling analysis. A spatial configuration was constructed from a Korean tourist sample to analyze whether the attributes determining destinations and the situational variable of different seasons had an impact on their destination image in the perceptual map. The results from a correspondence analysis indicate that each destination had a correlatory relationship with a specific season during which the tourists were most likely to visit it. Further, each destination exhibits somewhat different patterns in tourists' perception of attribute factors. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourism development
and cultural policies in China, Pages 362-392 As China actively pursues modernization, the tensions among a rigid application of socialism, the conservatism of tradition, and the demands of economic development threaten to destabilize the nation. All three elemental forces have contradictory objectives and the Chinese Communist Party expends significant effort in attempts to reconcile those differences. Tourism has emerged as an effective vehicle for synthesizing some of the differences through its contribution to the modernization process, its utilization of heritage for product development, and its role in meeting some socialist objectives. Tourism in China has thus exerted a centripetal influence, lessening to some extent tensions among the three opposing forces. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Economic significance
of cruise tourism, Pages 393-415 Cruise business is a growing segment of the international tourism market. While there have been studies of its economic impacts on a national level, the issues of the costs and benefits and their distribution have received scant attention. This paper develops a framework for assessing the economic impacts of cruise tourism for a nation and its subregions. It further explores how the framework can be used to estimate the relevant benefits and costs. A case study of cruise tourism in Australia shows how the framework can be implemented and discusses some policy implications. This analysis can facilitate future research, empirical studies, and strategy development relevant to cruise tourism. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourism, terrorism,
and political instability, Pages 416-456 Concepts of terrorism, political turmoil, and war appear unrelated to tourism. Closer examination of their points of convergence and impacts on tourism reveals otherwise. This paper examines literature focusing on the relationships between these phenomena. Research themes which emerge from available studies include impacts of terrorism and political instability on tourist demand, motives of terrorists in targeting tourists, using tourism as a political tool, the effects of political violence on destination image, crisis management, and recovery marketing efforts. The intent of this article is to synthesize research on these relationships, to present a comprehensive index of relevant publications, and to suggest topics for future research. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourism development
in Paris : Public intervention, Pages 457-476 This paper examines aspects of the development of tourism in Paris and attempts to identify and evaluate the ways and extent that public intervention, both national and municipal, has explicitly fostered the growth of tourism in the city or actively managed its development. The three examples examined in detail––urban planning, the redevelopment of the Champs-Elysées, and the Grand Louvre––suggest public intervention in this sector has generally only come about as part of much broader urban policies and practices, particularly those promoting the image of the city and fostering its wider influence. Broader cultural and political considerations often appear to outweigh more immediate economic gains. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Promise or political
risk for Mexican tourism, Pages 477-497 Mexico today is a major tourism power and its potential in resorts, ecotourism, touring, cruises, and other growing sectors of the industry is bright. But the country is threatened by mounting political, economic, and social problems which could undermine that promise. Mexico has become an increasingly unsafe place to visit. Street crime, drug trafficking, rebel activity, and government corruption have continued to grow. These threats to tourism can only be made worse by a political system in disarray. This paper examines the promise and the problems of Mexican tourism, especially problems exacerbated by political instability in this tourism dependent destination. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Genetic algorithms
for tourism marketing, Pages 498-514 Optimization methods are widely used in marketing, and in certain tourism applications, but appear to have been ignored in the tourism marketing literature. The advantages of a relatively new generation of general optimization methods, meta-heuristics, over traditional optimization methods are discussed. The application of genetic algorithms within a tourism marketing context is then demonstrated, with specific reference to the problem of tourism site location. The results suggest that genetic algorithms are likely to outperform traditional optimization methods when the number of sites (existing and proposed) is large. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Consumer behavior
