Tourism and
nativistic ideology in Cuzco, Peru, Pages 7-26 The city of Cuzco, Peru, is a major attraction, both in its own right and as a gateway to Machu Picchu. This study explores the relationship between the development of ethnic tourism and a local ideology of incanismo or reverence for the Inca past and for all aspects of indigenous culture, including the Quechua language. Although incanismo and tourism have quite different roots, they feed symbiotically on one another: both are elite phenomena. The former is a rallying ideology of local pride and badge of regional identity, especially for the urban educated classes of the city of Cuzco which are also the principal beneficiaries of tourism. At the same time, however, incanismo articulates and helps maintain a patrimony that attracts tourists, and this fosters the packaging of a tourism commodity. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dynamic texts
and tourist gaze: Death, bones and buffalo, Pages 27-50 Contemporary cultural studies, including tourism research, have largely avoided analysing the effects of texts upon individuals. This gap is addressed by examining the dynamic relationships between guidebooks and tourists through interviews carried out in Tana Toraja, Indonesia. Reliance upon a limited number of international guidebooks led to a commodified experience and gaze, these sources "tutoring" tourists to gaze at aspects of Tana Toraja either comparatively, enthusiastically, or with disinterest, in order to realise an "authentic exotic" Other. A model linking the relationship between guidebooks, spoken communication, and the conceptual spheres dominating tourists' perceptions is developed, arguing for greater recognition of the dynamism of texts in both tourism and cultural studies. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Standardizing
city tourism statistics, Pages 51-68 The major problems that city tourism managers face are the availability and comparability of market research information for their own city and their strongest competitors. To overcome this problem in market volume and share studies on European city tourism, an intelligent database system was developed. A comprehensive knowledge acquisition process on the quality and comparability of the statistics led to a prototype version of an expert system approved by leading European city tourism office managers. Additional tests of the system's accuracy showed reasonable results and helped reveal further possibilities for improving its performance. The final outcome of this model represents the largest, standardized longitudinal data set on European city tourism. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Modeling tourists'
multiple values, Pages 69-92 This paper supports the use of a contextual value measurement technique for assessing tourism values as an alternative to the more common generic personal ones in everyday life approach. Specifically, a two dimensional model is proposed to integrate the literature and help to better understand tourism values. The two bi-polar dimensions: one, emotion-dominant and cognition-dominant and, two, inner-directed and outer-directed. This model is assessed using hierarchical log linear analysis to examine the effect of multiple, conflicting values on holiday behavior of the tourist. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourism and
older residents in a sunbelt resort, Pages 93-114 The trend towards an aging population and prolonged life-span in Australia is reflected in the increased popularity of post-retirement migration to coastal communities. With the unprecedented growth of tourism in these areas, the question of how its impact affects older residents is becoming increasingly important for the industry and urban planners. Intuitively, there are grounds for arguing that this population is more likely to be negatively impacted by tourism than younger residents. A survey of Gold Coast (Australia) residents was carried out to test this hypothesis. Contrary to expectations the results revealed that older residents are generally as favorably disposed to tourism as their younger counterparts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ethnic tourism:
A Canadian experience, Pages 115-131 This article presents a case study analysis of the ethnic tourism practice at Wanuskewin Heritage Park, which is located in Saskatoon City in the Province of Saskatchewan, Canada. The analysis is based on semi-structured and unstructured interviews with individuals from the nation-state, the tourism business, and the featured ethnic groups. Further, field notes and printed documents were used as supplementary data sources. The focus of attention is directed toward the park's current development process, sociocultural issues, and strategies of resolving the issues. The main goal of this study is to provide insights into the sustainable development of the park. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Small and medium
tourism enterprises, Pages 132-147 The growing interest in community tourism development is paralleled within the European Union by a switch of emphasis away from large automatic grants to attract inward investment projects, towards small firms, and indigenous development. The promotion of small and medium enterprises by the union is on the basis that these firms provide the community underpinnings for entrepreneurship and job creation. Taking the experience of Wales as an example, the full-time equivalent employment out-turns from 216 projects are analyzed to assess job creation performance against targets. On the whole, the small and medium tourism enterprises in question were either in line with or better than their employment targets. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The gaze, spectacle
and ecotourism, Pages 148-163 This paper discusses the attitudes and behaviors of visitors to Fogg Dam Conservation Area in the Northern Territory, Australia. Based on survey results and observations of tourist behavior, it argues that in this particular location, self-defined ecotourists are gaining an affective rather than cognitive experience. Additionally, the nature of this experience is primarily ocular and concerned with spectacle, and thus is selective. The study also suggests that ecotourism may be culturally determined, with the culture being that of consumerism. Hence, in this Australian location, ecotourism is a hedonistic experience rather than concerned with learning. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The state of
qualitative tourism research, Pages 164-187 Previous reviews of tourism research methods have concentrated on studies underpinned by positivist science or assessments of quantitative methods and analyses. Conspicuous by their absence are reviews that focus on studies supported by the interpretive paradigm and assessments of qualitative analyses. This paper provides a descriptive review of the latter research using feature articles from four major journals in the field, employing "moments of qualitative research" as the framework of analysis. This paper makes no attempt to assess methodological sophistication but provides baseline data about previous and present uses of the interpretive paradigm and qualitative methods. It reviews each journal from its inception through 1996. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourism impact
modeling for resource extraction regions, Pages 188-202 A simple two sector and two factor general equilibrium model is developed to study the interactions among tourism, other economic sectors, and the environment. Tourism is considered an endogenous activity and modeled as a function of prices and environmental damage. Two types of the latter functions are considered. It is assumed that the damage occurs from activities related to the resource sector and that activities from both the resource and the composite tourism sector affect the environment. Simulation results suggest that impacts of policy changes differ with the type of environmental damage function but that the integration of environmental linkages into economic impacts models may reveal significant differences in results. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The self and
the other: Traveler, ethnographer, tourist, Pages 203-224 This paper, by presenting examples from the areas of ethnographic practice, tourism discourse, and travel narrative, sheds light on the process of self-discovery and self-representation which results from the gazing into the elsewhere and the Other. In this regard, it highlights certain differences between modernity and postmodernity. A key question asked is how similar or different are encounters of travelers, ethnographers and tourists with the Other, their lived experience of travel and their representations of the self and the Other. All three cross geographical and cultural boundaries but tourists and travelers may not achieve the type of self-consciousness that anthropologists working within a self-reflexive paradigm attain when gazing at the Other. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nordic symposium
