Sex tourism,
Pages 251-266 This article reviews the existing literature on sex tourism and prostitution. The review reveals a relatively narrow definition of what the subject constitutes. This paper proposes a holistic framework that moves beyond the traditional use of monetary exchange as the defining criterion of sex tourism. Besides pecuniary aspects, the framework incorporates several parameters, including intention and opportunity, tourism, length of time, prostitute–tourist relationship, sexual encounter, and who travels. These are used as important criteria in establishing what constitutes sex tourism and/or identifying sex tourists. By adopting this new perspective it is hoped that existing double standards towards sex tourism and its workers are recognized and overcome. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Entrepreneurs
in RomanceTourism in Indonesia, Pages 267-293 This article addresses the extent to which the opportunity to enter into a sexual relationship with Western female tourists poses a challenge to the vast number of self-employed young men in Indonesian tourism destinations. The areas compared in this article (Lombok and Yogyakarta) differ in terms of Butlers resort area cycle. Whereas Yogyakarta is about to enter the consolidation phase, Lombok has only started to develop tourism. The position in the area life cycle affects the opportunities and restrictions that self-employed young males encounter in their participation in the informal tourism sector and, as a consequence, their expectations regarding relationships with female tourists. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Industrial organization
the UK Hotel Sector, Pages 294-311 This article considers the applicability of the Industrial Organization approach to tourism with reference to the UK hotel sector, by using econometric techniques, identifying stylized facts and examining the nature of market power. The main results are that there is some evidence of oligopoly rather than competition or contestability. However, among leading firms, no one seemed capable of exhibiting monopolistic behavior given the macroeconomic situation of the period. The central conclusion is that the results are highly sensitive to both the choice of model and definition of the industry. Future studies need to embrace econometrics, case studies and stylized facts to establish the framework and identify theoretical structures. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Managing stakeholders
a Tourism Planning Model, Pages 312-328 Collaboration among key players is a fundamental ingredient in sustainable development efforts. To this end, this article discusses stakeholder theory and its application as a normative planning model, and introduces the relationship/transaction strategy continuum as a tool for applying this theory in development. In this application, planning authorities are directed to identify and proactively consider the transaction vs relationship orientations of key stakeholders. Congruency across this orientation increases the likelihood of collaboration in service delivery. In presenting case instances of tourism efforts, the application of the proposed stakeholder orientation matrix is illustrated. The article concludes with market segmentation strategies designed to promote alignment of the stakeholder orientations. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paradoxes in
planning Tourism Elitism or Brutalism?, Pages 329-348 While the rhetorics of environment, sustainability and ethics are prominent in academic discussions on tourism planning, they remained somewhat remote in the case of Eritrea. The debate about how the poorest countries should proceed with tourism remains polarized and confused. To help analyze this, a continuum is proposed upon which various types of planning advice may be placed. The two poles are represented by Tourism First (in which developing the industry is the focus of planning) and Development First (where planning is framed by national development needs) The terms of reference which are the key planning guide for tourism consulting firms conducting planning, are identified as being particularly inadequate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rethinking authenticity
in tourism experience, Pages 349-370 This paper aims at a conceptual clarification of the meanings of authenticity in tourist experiences. Three approaches are discussed, objectivism, constructivism, and postmodernism, and the limits of object-related authenticity are also exposed. It is suggested that existential authenticity is an alternative source in tourism, regardless of whether the toured objects are authentic. This concept is further classified into two different dimensions: intra-personal and inter-personal. This demonstrates that existential authenticity can explain a greater variety of tourist experiences, and hence helps enhance the explanatory power of the authenticity-seeking model in tourism. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Participatory
planninga View of Tourism in Indonesia, Pages 371-391 Most of the planning literature dealing with tourism focuses on what should be done in developing this industry at the expense of providing an understanding of what is actually being pursued and what can be done given a destinations local conditions. This study presents a normative model of participatory planning principles, which originates in the Western literature. This model is used to investigate what is actually being done in tourism planning in one developing destination, and examines the local constraints upon many of the principles recommended by researchers. Some of the participatory principles are practiced, but others are not. Local sociocultural and economic conditions are constraints in the principles recommended in the model. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Collaboration
in local tourism policymaking, Pages 392-415 Collaborations among stakeholders to develop policies for a destination are the subject of growing interest among researchers and managers. This paper presents an analytical framework to assess whether local collaborative arrangements are inclusionary and involve collective learning and consensus-building. The framework considers whether or not specific collaborations reduce the power imbalances between stakeholders, and it develops the concept of partial consensus. The practical value of the framework is suggested in an examination of local collaborative arrangements to develop a visitor management plan for the Hope Valley in Britains Peak District National Park. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Understanding
ethnic tourists, Pages 416-434 Much of the discussion of ethnic tourism has concentrated on the impact of guests onhosts. This paper examines ethnic tourism from the perspective of the guests and is particularlyconcerned with understanding the nature of this market. The results of a study of more than 1,500visitors to an Aboriginal cultural park in Australia are reported. Four distinct groups of visitorswere identified based on their levels of interest in various aspects or features of ethnic tourismexperiences. The study found evidence that ethnic tourists may be balancing a desire for contactwith such hosts against a concern over feeling uncomfortable when making choices of theirethnic tourism products. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Understanding
