Tourism dependence
and resident attitudes, Pages 783-802 Many rural communities view tourism as a major vehicle for addressing rural economic decline, but several empirical studies suggest that its growth can bring negative social impacts. One group of studies suggests a direct relationship between the level of tourism development in a community and the presence of negative resident attitudes toward it. This "tourism dependence" hypothesis is evaluated using survey data from four rural communities in the United States Rocky Mountain West. Results support the hypothesis with some important qualifications, and suggest a typology of rural communities experiencing tourism growth that includes tourism-saturated, tourism-realized, and tourism-hungry community types. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Market/industry
confusion in tourism economic analyses, Pages 803-817 It is common to read reference to the "tourism industry" in scholarly works, but attempts at describing or defining tourism as one are not without difficulties. This paper considers whether, given the economic definition of industry, tourism can be called as such. Moreover, the paper offers a clarification of the distinction between the concepts "industry" and "market" and how they may be used in the economic analysis of tourism. Definitions of these two notions, extracted from the relevant economic literature, are suggested. Tourism cannot be defined as either an industry or a market. Clarification of this confusion has important implications for economic analysis in this field. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ethnic politics
and tourism: A British Case Study, Pages 818-836 This paper argues that one can better understand the phenomenon of ethnicity in the West through an analysis of tourism representations of a region's history and culture and of the many motives behind them. It examines the rise of a particular version of Shetland (United Kingdom) identity by linking the differing goals of the local bourgeoisie, as well as the bulk of the islands' inhabitants, with the projects of the Shetland Tourist Organisation and related groups. While this version of the Shetlandness is understood as providing a Durkheimian sense of unity for many inhabitants, its origins and increasing articulations with the economic and political goals of the islands' bourgeoisie are the main concerns of the paper -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The economic
organization of tourism, Pages 837-859 This paper argues that it is inappropriate to portray tourism organisation as involving the coordination of firms producing conventional well-defined commodities with marginally differentiated technologies as in a conventional industry. A number of alternative theories of corporate and industrial organization are contrasted with respect to their applicability to the imperfectly specified tourism commodity. A perspective on firms and industry which emphasizes the coordination of changing technological and marketing competencies through network relationships is believed to be particularly suitable to represent the tourism learning system and to provide an alternative outlook on tourism industry, coordination and organizational structures. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shared decision-making
in tourism land use planning, Pages 860-889 A Canadian government commission dealing with environmental resources attempted to incorporate several innovative approaches for shared decision-making into its strategic land use planning process for central British Columbia. This paper describes a framework of design and evaluative criteria for guiding such shared decision-making processes. It uses these criteria to assess the efficacy of the process from the perspective of those tourism stakeholders who participated in this planning exercise. The article offers recommendations to government as well as tourism sector organizations concerning the management of future public land use planning strategies designed to fully incorporate stakeholders into such processes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wives' involvement
in tourism decision processes, Pages 890-903 This study segments tourism decision-making tasks into 17 categories. Wives were asked to assign a score to their level of involvement in each task. A marginal involvement in tasks related to the "financing aspects" of the trip was observed whereas involvement was high in tasks such as "shopping", "selecting restaurants", "collecting information", and "preparing luggage". Two hypotheses were tested: the socioeconomic characteristics of wives and trip characteristics have a positive effect on the level of involvement in the tourism decisions; and levels of task involvement are consistent for the 17 tasks (stability in tasks involvement). Marketing implications and recommendations for future research were also discussed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jordan's potential
tourism development, Pages 904-918 Following the peace accords with Israel, Jordan's potential as a destination increased significantly. Jordan consequently sought advice from various international parties for developing tourism. However, almost identical development plans designed years before by some of the same parties remain unimplemented. This is because major responsibility lies with the government and its personnel policies, taxation rates, micromanagement, and unreliable record keeping. However, beyond these problems are issues having to do with guest/host relations, cultural values, and the legacy of over a half-century of wars and enmity toward those who now compose a large portion of its market--the Israeli tourists. This paper discusses whether tourism in Jordan will be an economic boon or a destabilizing factor. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Movie induced
tourism, Pages 919-935 Movies provide the objects and subjects for the gaze of many people, and for some people, movies induce them to travel to the locations where they were filmed. The data gathered at 12 US locations supports earlier anecdotal accounts of movie-induced tourism. This paper extends from earlier studies by suggesting a variety of reasons for this type of gaze and documents some of the impacts on movie-induced tourism locations. Visitation data were gathered from a variety of settings and were aggregated to show the power of movies when inducing people to locations. Data analysis showed at least four years of visitation increases after movies were released. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The travel career
ladder: An Appraisal, Pages 936-957 This paper examines the state of the "travel career ladder" concept. It is argued that the research findings thought to support this concept are contradictory. In a sample of UK holidaymakers, it was found that while motives for taking vacations were consistent among all of the sample, those who had had a history of past tourism experience in a destination, or of similar types of holidays elsewhere, indicated a better match between wants and an ability to meet those desires. It seems that it is not a case of changing psychological needs resulting from past tourism experience as proposed by the "travel career ladder" model but rather a case of better meeting needs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Waterfalls:
Resources for Tourism, Pages 958-973 While very few waterfalls may be regarded as tourism destinations, many are attractions. This paper discusses waterfalls within the theoretical frameworks developed by economists and geographers in the field of recreation and tourism. Examples are drawn from various parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, with Jamaica examined as a case study. Here, as in many tourism areas, although visitors usually choose their destinations for reasons other than the appeal of waterfalls, these landscape features play important roles as attractions. Often associated with ecotourism, waterfalls help to diversify the tourism product and spread the benefits as well as some of the associated problems of tourism to less developed areas. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marketing Resorts
