Tourism and
DEVELOPMENT: Evidence from Mexico, Pages 1-20 Few recent studies of tourism in the third world have explicitly adopted approaches drawing from contemporary theories of the political economy of development. Instead they have either turned away from political economy to alternative approaches or are mainly empirical in nature. This paper contends that some recent strands of development theory hold particular promise in this field and illustrates their use by examining tourism in Mexico over the past 30 years. Specifically, findings suggest that a statist approach, augmented by considerations of the structure of the international tourism industry, help explain both growth and distributional effects in Mexico over that period. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commodification
of buddhism in contemporary burma, Pages 21-54 Buddhism provides a powerful force in the lives of large numbers of people in Burma. The military junta ruling Burma has recognized and attempted to appropriate Buddhism as a means of legitimating its authority. This regime has consistently promoted the notion of national unity and identity in which strong links with a Buddhist Burmese heritage have been forged. This desire for Burma to become more fully integrated into the global economy has seen the encouragement of foreign investment and the promotion of the country as a destination. A strong relationship has been established between Buddhism and tourism, and this link has been appropriated by the regime in seeking to achieve its political and economic aspirations. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Indigenous tourism
development in the arctic, Pages 55-76 This paper explores current trends in indigenous (aboriginal) tourism development in Canadas western Arctic region. Its operational environment is characterized by the presence of mixed local community economies and a co-management framework for lands and resources. In the North, aboriginal tourism is a resource-based industry, traditionally in the form of big game hunting, and in a more modern context, evolving into ecotourism and cultural or ethnic tourism. Some indigenous people are exploring innovative ways to harness tourism to support the traditional elements of their land-based economy, rather than being consumed by the industry. The authenticity of this tourism experience represents a major asset as well as a significant management challenge. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourism in paris
Studies at the Microscale, Pages 77-97 Selected examples of such attractions in Paris as churches, grands magasins and the sewers are examined systematically in the light of the literature on tourist spaces and tourist attractions to illustrate issues which arise in urban tourism at the microscale. Particular attention is focused on issues of place identity and spatial management such as the display of specialized markers and the setting aside of areas for specific functions. Combinations of these measures are used, both as a reaction to visitor pressure and to foster tourist patronage and use. The study concludes that tourists make identifiable and distinctive demands on places and merit greater attention as users of space. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourism development
and natural capital, Pages 98-109 The bulk of recent tourism-environment and sustainable tourism development literature can suggest the application of strong sustainability criteria. This is shown to be problematic since even such developmental practices may generate various classes of spillover effects that can frustrate genuine attainment of strong sustainability in tourism concentration, dispersal, or small-scale operation. At a broader sectoral level, tourism-centric development policies are also reasoned to be of inherently limited value in achieving strong sustainability objectives. Accordingly, by consideration of these problems it is argued that policy should be directed to facilitating more coordinated strategic planning intervention, rather than reliance on market instruments and processes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seeking the
real spain? Authenticity in Motivation, Pages 110-129 Following a focus group discussion, a questionnaire was compiled consisting of a series of four holiday scenarios which varied in the authenticity of the experience of the host country. Participants also completed an adaptation of a tourist motivation scale. Both student and general public samples rated the four scenarios consistently for authenticity, and their predicted enjoyment of each scenario was positively correlated with their perception of its authenticity. People scoring highly predicted higher enjoyment for all scenarios, and, in the general public sample, showed a more marked effect of authenticity on enjoyment. Older and higher social class participants also showed more effect of authenticity on enjoyment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- War and thanatourism:
Waterloo 1815–1914, Pages 130-158 This paper examines the historical evolution of Waterloo as a tourism mega-attraction. It locates battlefield visits as a form of thanatourism and explores the development of Waterloo through a sight sacralization model. The model proposes that an attractions appeal is achieved through progressive stages of marking which comes to invest it with a quasi-religious mystique, sacralization, as a goal of ritual pilgrimage for tourists. The paper comments on the sequencing of the model in the case of Waterloo and suggests how the social and ideological environments of the potential tourist may affect the potency and stability of the sacralization process over time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Writing out
the tourist in space and time, Pages 159-187 This paper examines the ways in which travel writing manages the distinction between traveler and tourist. In exploring this complex literary genre, the study also tries to account for its continued popularity as a promotional medium. By writing out the tourist via the universal categories of space and time, writers can appeal to the anti-tourist who resides in every tourist. The metaphor of a journey to the timeless periphery may also strike a chord in many a reader since it speaks of life itself as a form of travel. By way of illustration, typical works of three contemporary, Anglophone travel writers are selected and compared. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Forecasting
