Local economic
impacts of dragon tourism in Indonesia, Pages 559-576 Ecotourism in protected areas is viewed as a sustainable alternative to mass tourism and as a means of providing benefits to local communities which bear the greatest opportunity costs of protection. However, these ideals have rarely been tested. This study used small-scale survey methods to examine the magnitude and distribution of tourism employment and revenue generation in communities in an Indonesian park. Results suggest that distributional inequalities favor external operators and urban gateway residents rather than rural villagers. Just as the local economy remains peripheral to regional and national centers, so core-periphery relations also exist within the local context. Development around the park has yet to re-orient itself to the goals of ecotourism. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spectral analysis
of international tourism flows, Pages 577-589 This study applies the methods of univariate and bivariate spectral analysis to international tourism flows. Spectral analysis detects cycles within and between time series data sets. Its application presented in this article establishes relationships that are less readily found by more conventional time series methods. Specifically, leading cycles of dependencies are established between exchange rates and passenger flows. Not only does spectral analysis offer a fuller description of time series data, it can assist in the development of models that have historically been more commonly used in the study of tourism flows. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourism potentials
for financing protected areas, Pages 590-610 Establishment of protected areas is becoming a major avenue for conservation and preservation of the environment. However, due to the inability to self-finance, many protected areas have become "paper parks". Tourism could be a major source of revenue, especially in developing countries, for self-financing of protected areas, through the recovery of use and nonuse values. This paper estimates the use and nonuse values of two protected areas, a marine and a proposed terrestrial park and examines the possibilities of recovering these values from tourists. The results show use values could provide a substantial source of income while nonuse values could also be significant, but would depend on the nature of the protected area. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Air-tour impacts:
The Grand Canyon case, Pages 611-623 The economic impact of Grand Canyon air-tour operators on the southern Nevada economy is estimated using a regional impact model. Based on information collected from surveys of Grand Canyon air-tour operators and Grand Canyon tourists, it is estimated that 480,618 tourists to Las Vegas took a Grand Canyon tour in 1996. After accounting for direct and indirect expenditures, the Grand Canyon air tours contribute $504 million to the southern Nevada economy. If Grand Canyon air tours were eliminated, southern Nevada would suffer an estimated loss of $249 million –– the lost revenues of the operators and the lost expenditures of tourists who would not visit southern Nevada without the Grand Canyon air tour. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourist expenditure
for mass tourism markets, Pages 624-637 This paper undertakes an analysis of tourism expenditure in the Balearic Islands for different market segments distinguishing between that made in the origin country and at the destination. This is accomplished through the use of regression models with dummy variables concerning the tourist characteristics. This appropriate methodology reflects the complexity of the mass tourism phenomenon in the 90s. The analysis shows that the differences in expenditure for various profiles are significant. This research enables one to obtain the necessary information to implement more adequate tourism policies in increasingly segmented markets. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A furusato away
from home, Pages 638-660 In Japanese society furusato (native places) have been developed as remedies to the "Economic Miracle", directing urbanites to restorative premodern villages. Against the historical context of Japanese cultural nationalism, the emergence of furusato overseas indicates significant changes in Japanese tourism, notions of identity, and perceptions of the international community. Two examples of foreign furusato are in the United Kingdom and in Canada. Utilizing field interviews and an interdisciplinary approach, this article proposes that demographic changes and a series of social shocks have shaken free entrenched beliefs of Japanese identity, and that this state of alienation is accompanied by a new willingness to seek existential meaning outside of Japan. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourism in protected
areas: The Nepalese Himalaya, Pages 661-681 The Himalayas in Nepal have become popular destinations for international tourism, which has rapidly increased in recent years with serious socioeconomic and environmental consequences. In the light of the recently concluded Visit Nepal 1998 Year, it is important to reconsider the environmental impacts of tourism, and reformulate strategies that would make tourism a viable industry and a sustainable alternative in this country. Drawing from the experience of the three most popular destinations in the Nepal Himalayas, this paper discusses some national level policy and management issues. The paper concludes by stressing the need for more scientific research and forging a partnership between local people, the service industry, and tourism professionals. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Managing heritage
tourism, Pages 682-708 This article discusses the findings of a Delphi survey of owners and managers of historic properties, officers of heritage-based organizations, consultants, and academics from across the United Kingdom. The purpose of the study was to investigate the major constraints and imperatives relating to the long-term management of built heritage attractions. Three related issues were assessed: the fundamental mission of heritage attractions; the factors which impact upon decisions relating to charging for tourist entry; and the perceptions of heritage managers as to the respective roles of such attractions and public agencies in funding tourism management and heritage conservation programs. The paper then considers the significance of these issues in assessing potential strategies for moving heritage tourism toward sustainability. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Understanding
tourists: Interpretations from Indonesia, Pages 709-736 Most Manggaraian people on the island of Flores in Eastern Indonesia have only recently, been exposed to tourists visiting their island. This paper suggests that the host population has tried to understand tourists within the context of their experiences with foreigners over several centuries, and has created a space for tourists within their cultural world that is akin to special guests, including spirits. The argument illustrates how tourism cannot be understood as having an impact on a passive culture, but instead how local people create their own strategies for dealing with innovations, as well as maintaining a continuity with their past cultural ideas. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Successful relationships
between hotels and agencies, Pages 737-762 The establishment of cooperative relationships with other organizations is becoming increasingly crucial for tourism organizations. Indeed, interorganizational relationships are becoming a key research paradigm in the hospitality literature. However, there has been little empirical research dealing with this topic in the hospitality industry. Furthermore, while some studies may have been carried out with a view to reevaluating individual hotels' relationships with travel agents, the empirical research of this study is the first aiming to identify the determinants of successful relationships between hotels and travel agencies, the most cost-effective way for a hotel to extend its sales and marketing efforts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Host community
reactions: A cluster analysis, Pages 763-784 Relatively little research has been carried out on host community reactions to the impacts of events. However, the affinities between general tourism and events means that insights derived from the former are potentially useful as a foundation. While there is a considerable body of research on community reactions to tourism, this has been constrained by the dominance of a case study approach and the variety of theories and methodologies applied. This paper draws on social representations theory and compares the results of the current study with previous cluster analyses in an effort to identify some parallels in residents' perceptions of tourism and events across communities. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quality, satisfaction
and behavioral intentions, Pages 785-804 Performance quality was conceptualized as the attributes of a service which are controlled by a tourism supplier, while satisfaction referred to a tourist's emotional state after exposure to the opportunity. A structural equations model hypothesized that perceived performance quality would have a stronger total effect on behavioral intentions than satisfaction. This hypothesis was confirmed. The analysis also indicated that the perceptions measure of quality fitted the hypothesized model better than data derived from the subjective disconfirmation measure. Results suggested that evaluation efforts should include assessment of both performance quality and satisfaction, but since performance quality is under management's control it is likely to be the more useful measure. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An emerging
