Tourist perception
of environmental impact, Pages 853-867 This study investigated the relationship between measured environmental impact and tourists' perception of it, at ten sites in Central Australia. A positive relationship between annual visitation to a site and measurable impact was found, despite the small amount of tourism impact in the area. Tourists' perception of impact varied in degree. A majority identified relevant environmental threats (tourism or introduced species), while a smaller proportion suggested management options to address track spreading, the major impact identified by this study. Overall, environmental conditions were rated lower at sites with a higher intensity of impacts, reflecting some tourists' ability to distinguish impacts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourists and
troglodytes: Negotiating for Sustainability, Pages 868-891 This paper contributes to the continuing discussion concerning the paradox that tourism destroys the object of its desire. An analysis is made of tourism relations and hospitality in a Turkish village, and it is argued that in their close interactions with tourists traveling independently of organized tour groups, local people are in a position to negotiate both their own "traditional" identity in the presence of tourists and the latter's quests and experiences in themselves. A dynamic notion of sustainability in cultural tourism is developed, by challenging the assumptions that tourist localities must remain authentically "traditional" to meet with the expectations of tourists. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ecotourism ventures:
Rags or Riches?, Pages 892-907 The diminishing wilderness areas remaining in southern Africa offer opportunities to establish and market ecotourism destinations. It would thus be useful to gain insight into what conditions make certain ventures viable. With the aid of a model and using data from Ongoye Forest in South Africa, the long-term financial viability of three operational ecotourism scenarios is assessed: upmarket lodges, middle-of-the-range chalets, and campsites. The resulting "preferred" scenario depends on a specific weighted interest in favor of the community, the environment, or the investor. The economic realities of southern Africa suggest that without government support, it may be risky to invest extensive initial capital into the larger scale ecotourism projects proposed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Urban hotel
development patterns in the face of political shifts, Pages 908-925 This paper discusses changes in the spatial pattern of tourism accommodation in Jerusalem in the past 150 years. This is done with particular reference to urban development and political shifts during this period and in respect to various theoretical models relating to the location of hotels in urban areas. The time frame of the paper is divided into four chronological periods according to the main geopolitical changes in the city: the end of the Ottoman period; the period of the British Mandate; the city divided between Israel and Jordan; and the city unified under Israeli sovereignty. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An integrative
framework for urban tourism research, Pages 926-946 This paper outlines an integrative framework for urban tourism and illustrates applications with reference to selected aspects of the literature. The framework emphasizes the identification of subject cells within a matrix defined in terms of scale (site, district, city-wide, regional, national, and international) and themes (demand, supply, development, and impacts). It stresses the need to examine the relationships between these, both vertically and horizontally. This is offered as a means of providing a more systematic and coherent perspective on urban tourism, as a way of integrating a steadily growing but as yet largely fragmented body of research and providing structure for future efforts in this field, both conceptually and empirically. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The resort lifecycle
theory: Generating Processes and Estimation, Pages 947-964 Svend Lundtorp
and Stephen Wanhill One of the most discussed paradigms in the literature on destination development is the lifecycle model. Although varieties of lifecycle paths have been described, they have been drawn up without consideration of the underlying generation processes. This article examines the time path of tourist growth patterns that could give rise to such a cycle and in doing so, permits the exact demarcation of the five stages of the lifecycle. The model is tested using long run time series and the overall conclusion is that the restrictions imposed by the aggregation process limit the resort cycle paradigm, in a quantitative context, to being no more than a statistical caricature of the real world. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Forecasting
tourist arrivals, Pages 965-977 Various exponential smoothing models are estimated over the period 1975–1999 to forecast quarterly tourist arrivals to Australia from Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore. The root mean squared error criterion is used as a measure of forecast accuracy. Prior to obtaining the one-quarter-ahead forecasts for the period 1998 to 2000, the individual arrival series are tested for unit roots to distinguish between stationary and non-stationary time series arrivals. The Holt–Winters Additive and Multiplicative Seasonal models outperform the Single, Double, and the Holt–Winters Non-Seasonal Exponential Smoothing models in forecasting. It is also found that forecasting the first differences of tourist arrivals performs worse than forecasting its various levels. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Female tourists
and beach boys: Romance or Sex Tourism?, Pages 978-997 Previous studies of female tourists and beach boys in the Caribbean have defined these relationships as involving either sex or romance tourism. The objective of this study was to determine which of these definitions was more applicable to relationships in the Dominican Republic. Male and female tourists as well as beach boys and female sex workers were interviewed. Romance and sex tourism were conceptualized as the two ends of a continuum of motivations rather than as distinct categories. Although there was some gender overlap in the continuum of romance/sex motivations, more of the female tourists were located toward the romance end and more of the male tourists toward the sex end of the continuum. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mediated resistance:
Tourism and the Host Community, Pages 998-1009 This ethnographic study focuses on the mediation of tourism by the host community in the pilgrimage town of Pushkar, India. It provides a framework for understanding the impact of Western tourism in the context of a Hindu religious community. Locally, tourism is perceived as a threat to "tradition" and religion even while a large segment of the population is dependent on its economic benefits. This ambivalence is resolved through three types of rhetoric: exclusionary, political, and religious. This strategy of rhetorical resistance, termed here as "mediated resistance", allows the host community to condemn tourism collectively while participating in it on an individual basis. The theoretical focus of the study draws from cultural anthropology, religion, and communication research. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourism development:
Assessing Social Gains and Losses, Pages 1010-1030 Resident attitudes toward tourism, and perceptions of its impacts, are often diverse, with development often generating gains for some and losses for others. The net effect has been discussed conceptually for many years. This study illustrates an empirical evaluation of it, as well as of gains to tourists. Survey responses to hypothetical ski resort development in Åre, Sweden, indicate that some residents gain from such an expansion while others lose; the net effect on the community is negative over the range of slopes evaluated. Tourists gain from expansion, but their gains are not great enough to outweigh the net losses for residents, such that the welfare change for society as a whole is negative. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Earthquake effects
on tourism in central Italy, Pages 1031-1046 This paper proposes an approach to economic assessment of the impact on tourist flows of the earthquake that hit the Umbria region in Central Italy on September 26, 1997. Local arrivals in Assisi fell drastically the month following the main shock, compared to the same month of the previous year. The event study methodology, frequently applied in finance, is employed to evaluate the statistical relevance of the shock over time and space. A further and straightforward application of the event study analysis assesses the substantial amount of loss between October 1997 and June 1998 due to the drop of tourism business. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clarifying Heritage
