Working tourists
and their attitudes to hosts, Pages 267-283 This paper examines the results of tourist–host contact in specific situations that combine work activities and the consumption of tourism. A Path-Analysis method was applied to a survey across three groups of "working tourists" in Israel. The findings revealed that those who perceive their work situation as a means to continue their travel are less likely to have positive attitudes about their hosts than others who grasp their work situation as part of their experience. It is suggested that while the touristic orientation of the latter induced them to develop "social exchange" with their hosts, the "mercenary" approach of the former limited their encounter with hosts to "economic exchange" only. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anti-tourist
attitudes: Mediterranean charter tourism, Pages 284-300 The article examines "anti-tourist" attitudes and practices among vacationers in Mediterranean destinations, among those who dislike being regarded as such, and thus attempt to distance themselves from this category. "Traveler" attitudes are also examined, as expressed by vacationers with an interest in local food and in independent exploration of unfamiliar places. The study's data are derived from a survey of vacationers traveling by charter flights returning to Norway from selected destinations in Greece, Spain and Turkey. The empirical findings are discussed in relation to previous research. The article suggests an alternative, empirically-based perspective of travel-related roles among certain vacationers in the Mediterranean. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourism information
and pleasure motivation, Pages 301-321 This paper focuses on motivational and emotional aspects of destination choice behavior. In a marketing context, a conceptual model using push, pull, and hedonic factors is developed for research on evaluations of destination attributes. In this context tourists are pushed by their emotional needs and pulled by the emotional benefits. Consequently, emotional and experiential needs are relevant in pleasure-seeking and choice behavior. From an information processing point of view, it is suggested that mental imagery is an anticipating and motivating force that mediates emotional experiences, evaluations, and behavioral intentions. The conceptual model is relevant for managers who want to know the affective and motivational reaction of customers to promotional stimuli. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Staging tourism:
tourists as performers, Pages 322-344 Metaphorically, tourists can be considered to enact a range of performances on distinct stages. Their enactions are distinguished according to various factors, including their competence, reflexivity, the extent to which they are directed and regulated, or participate in group or solo performances. Providing examples from research carried out at the Taj Mahal in India, particular attention is directed to the characteristics of the stages upon which tourists perform, with a distinction being drawn between "enclavic" and "heterogeneous" spaces. The paper exlores particular modes of walking to convey the diversity of tourist performances and how they are formed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Caribbean cruise
tourism: Globalization at sea, Pages 345-370 Caribbean cruise tourism provides a particularly illuminating vantage point for understanding the processes of globalization in the world today. After documenting the rapid expansion of this business, the paper explores three central manifestations of globalization at work in the Caribbean cruise industry: the restructuring of the industry in the face of global competition, capital mobility, and labor migration; new patterns of global ethnic recruitment and stratification, including their incorporation into the product marketed to tourists; and deterritorialization, cultural theming, and simulation. The paper asserts that this "globalization at sea" illustrates the contradictions, ambiguities, and unchartered course of contemporary globalization processes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Power and tourism:
A Foucauldian observation, Pages 371-390 Tourism outcomes are often regarded as driven by the tourist. The influence of tourism on society is often anticipated to be negative. This conceptual paper extends the power vocabulary of Michel Foucault to challenge the exclusivity of this view. Power is conceptualized as omnipresent in a tripartite system of tourists, locals, and brokers. The Foucauldian framework reveals that the tourist––like the madman and the incarcerated criminal––is frequently vulnerable to the composite gaze of others. Further, the framework shows that productive power generates touristic knowledge. This orientation to touristic power recommends increased analytical attention to the role of brokers prominent in tourism development. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Residents' attitudes
to proposed tourism development, Pages 391-411 This article discusses resident attitudes to tourism development. Research employing a questionnaire survey and focusing on a proposed development was conducted in a rural New Zealand region. There was general support for this plan, but the community was not homogeneous in its views. Perceived positive impacts were the provision of a community facility, job creation, and the promotion of the area for tourism. Perceived negative impacts included more drunken driving, traffic problems, and increased noise. There was evidence of gender differences as well as a high degree of community attachment to the area. The findings are discussed in relation to national tourism surveys in this country. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aboriginal heritage
art and moral rights, Pages 412-431 This paper explores links between international intellectual property rights, indigenous culture and heritage art, the Aboriginal people of Australia, and their importance to tourism in this country. Although Australia is a party to the Berne Convention, it has not enacted domestic laws to protect the moral rights of artists, and exploitation and appropriation of Aboriginal images continues despite litigation. The 1998 Copyright Amendment Bill now before the federal parliament seeks to introduce full rights of protection of attribution and integrity to both Aboriginal and other artists. Once implemented it will be significant to their protection as well as Australia's cultural tourism trade. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourist experiences
and attractions, Pages 432-450 It is argued that general assessments of satisfaction are insensitive to a variety of differences in subjective experiences. The flow-simplex is introduced as an alternative method to provide differentiated information about the tourist experience. Data from on-site experiences were gathered by questionnaires at six Norwegian attractions. With regard to overall satisfaction, only minor differences were found among the six attractions. The flow-simplex, on the other hand, revealed a meaningful and differentiated pattern of affective responses to these attractions. The results show interesting differences among tourists from different countries, and lend support to fundamental assumptions made by cognitive theory concerning the relationship between cognition and affect. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A linear program
to model daily car touring choices, Pages 451-467 A multi-period linear program is used to model daily decisions by Western Australian car tourists, subject to limits on average daily driving distance and the requirement that each journey starts and finishes at Perth within available vacation time. Varying weights or values are attached to going to multiple destinations and to warmer climates. Resulting choice patterns approximate to actual sequences of day-to-day choices by car tourists. A weighted sum of linear programming models provides a synthesized distribution of trips which is similar to trip patterns revealed by survey data. This offers an insight into the factors and constraints influencing tourist decisions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourism and
the environment: a social movements perspective, Pages 468-489 This paper provides evidence on local environmental mobilizations against tourism activities in Greece, Spain, and Portugal from the early 70s to the mid 90s. Its ultimate aim is to introduce to the sociology of tourism and environment a social movements approach. The paper focuses on active host community environmental groups and the groups they challenge. It examines these groups' approaches and actions and the impact on tourism, local ecosystems, and sustainable development. The paper further highlights the determining factors of such conflicts and their deeper implications concerning socio-environmental aspects of Southern European societies. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Evoking Ireland:
Modeling tourism propensity, Pages 490-516 This paper offers a choice model pertinent to familiar destinations. In particular, it demonstrates the importance of familiarity as an explanator of imagery and evoked opportunities, and thus as a direct and indirect determinant of visiting propensity. Imagery is modeled by three inter-dependent dimensions: informality of construction, divisibility of awareness and intensity of association, and the content of imagery as contextualized within the repositioning strategy of a destination for new tourism markets. Ireland is the destination used, and the model and repositioning appraisal is developed in the market for cultural tourism. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Planning in
