Expanding the
functional information search model, Pages 551-578 This study used a decision-making and information search model as a framework for explaining the factors which influence the use of communications as they relate to recreation and tourism experiences. Traditionally, touristic information has been studied as a means to make destination choices. Studies have shown that not everyone who collects information actually intends to travel. An expanded approach to information search is taken where many of the leisure and recreation-based motivations are considered such as information for social, entertainment, visual, and creativity purposes. The findings expand the view of tourism information search process from a strict marketing context into a broader communication one -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourism and
legends: Archaeology of Heritage, Pages 579-596 The heritage industry and archaeology have had an uneasy relationship in the United Kingdom, a country with several sites and monuments of world touristic importance. This paper explores this interface within a distinctive locality, the village and Castle at Tintagel, Cornwall, where Arthurian legendary and literary associations have come to dominate many visitors' expectations. The site is analysed as an integrated "heritage complex", where the commercial, literary and officio-academic "signs" currently create a measure of ambiguity and uncertainty for the casual visitor. The nature of the dilemma for officio-academic interpretation of the site is considered, as are ideas circulating among archaeologists vis-à-vis the provision of alternative accounts of the meaning and context of the complex as a whole. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Forecasting
tourism demand in Asian-Pacific countries, Pages 597-615 This article scrutinizes issues relating to the forecasting of international tourist arrivals. The area of interest is Asian-Pacific countries. Six forecasting techniques are examined. The results show that the accuracy of the forecasts differs depending on the country being forecast, but that the seasonal-nonseasonal ARIMA model is overall the most accurate method for forecasting international tourist arrivals. This research also finds, that, judging from the value of Theil inequality coefficient, seasonal-nonseasonal ARIMA is superior to any other technique examined in this article. Finally, the issue of policy implication is also addressed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warfare and
tourism: Paris in World War II, Pages 616-638 When the Germans occupied France in 1940, they organized group tours for tens of thousands of their personnel. Their itineraries and symbols reflected Nazi images of the Germans as appreciating French high culture but also conscious of their own "race and homeland". German touristic values impacted political and military decision-making with dramatic results, such as the sparing of Paris in both 1940 and 1944 and Hitler's decision to grant France an armistice in 1940. This article suggests new areas of study, such as tourism during wartime and the touristic images and policies of defeated as well as victorious nations during and after wars. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Backpacker tourism
and economic development, Pages 639-660 International tourism is often perceived by LDC (Less Developed Country) government tourism planners as an engine of economic growth, but the focus is commonly upon mass tourism while ignoring the subsector of backpacker tourism. The case study of Gili Trawangan island in Lombok, eastern Indonesia, indicates that the encouragement of backpacker tourism may alleviate some of the excesses of international mass tourism. Backpacker tourism is compared with conventional mass tourism, discussing the leakage of foreign exchange earnings, issues of local control, ownership and participation, and the political economy of who gains or loses from tourism in less developed countries. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Travel agents'
destination recommendations, Pages 661-674 Travel agents' recommendations can strongly influence clientel's satisfaction and the success of touristic businesses, attractions, and destinations. But little is known about their recommendation process. This article presents a conceptual model of this process and empirically examines the impact on agents' destination recommendations of two factors from the model: trip type and origin, which create important differences in destination recommendations. This research holds important implications both for tourism marketers who seek to influence travel agents and for researchers interested in studying this line of inquiry. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourist typology:
Observations from Belize, Pages 675-699 This examination of tourism on the island of Ambergris Caye, Belize, utilizes site investigations, questionnaires and in depth interviews in order to ascertain the various impacts on a rapidly growing Third World destination. It highlights the pitfall of treating tourists as a homogenous group in terms of their behaviour and consequent impact, and points to the utility of a disaggregated approach. The threefold typology arrived at in this paper has two major advantages. It enables a more detailed appreciation of the relationships between tourist consumption and the sociocultural, economic and physical fabric of the destination area, and thus should facilitate the formulation and implementation of more focused policies which consequently target specific issues. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ecotourism versus
tourism in a Thai National Park, Pages 700-720 Although considered distinct, ecotourists have been compared rarely with other tourist types at the same site and time. Moreover, ecotourism definitions imply support for conservation. This study differentiates ecotourists from other tourist types, and compares their financial support for conservation, sociodemographic characteristics, and recreation substitutability for nature trek activities. Based on a questionnaire survey of 857 respondents at Doi Inthanon National Park, Thailand, five main tourist types were identified. Ecotourists contributed more to conservation than other types, but primarily in their home countries. They were older and more educated than other tourist types. Substitutability did not differ among different types. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourism impact
comparisons among Norwegian towns, Pages 721-738 This study contributes to filling out the missing comparative tourism impact studies in Scandinavia and other small, economically developed societies. The study indicates the relative importance of direct industry effects, spin-off effects, and secondary effects in nine small Norwegian municipalities. Economic and employment effects are compared, and multipliers are calculated. The importance of the various groups of effects depends on regional characteristics such as the local infrastructure, the age of local tourism, and attributes of the type of industry. The study provides guidance to policymakers and directions for future research. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourismification
