Staying on farms:
An Ideological Background, Pages 7-24 Rural tourism shows a structure different from agriculture, forestry, and fishery: it is expanding, labor intensive, generates influx of money, and maintains the service base in the region. Farm tourism, as an example has ideological roots in the romanticism of nature and social tourism. It plays a greater role in this conceptualization than its character signifies, because of a set of development engines driving it. Further, it acts as an indicator of what is happening on the delicate ground where tourists and the industry meet. This paper looks for the driving forces of farm tourism, distinguishing it from rural tourism. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Restructuring
seaside tourism: The Resort Lifecyle, Pages 25-55 This paper evaluates the theoretical insights provided by Butler's resort cycle and the restructuring thesis, and it explores two theoretical relationships that may be drawn between these two constructs. The theme is considered in the context of mass tourism coastal resorts generally and of three English seaside resorts specifically, and some important issues are highlighted, relating to decline and restructuring. These issues include the suggestion that resort decline is not necessarily associated with the course of the lifecycle or a particular capitalist phase, but is the outcome of interactions between internal and external forces, and that restructuring must incorporate a greater appreciation of place distinctiveness. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Destination
image: Towards a Conceptual Framework, Pages 56-78 This paper presents a review and discussion of the concept and measurement of destination image, within an intradisciplinary marketing perspective. Both theoretical and methodological aspects of this concept and measurement are treated. Based on the existence of three dimensions of object, subject and attributes, previous studies are analyzed. A taxonomy of the methodological and statistical procedures for measuring the image of the destinations is also proposed in order to help researchers to capture and measure the image construct. The paper proposes a conceptual model featuring its complex, multiple, relativistic and dynamic nature as a more comprehensive framework of destination image. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resident attitudes:
A Structural Modeling Approach, Pages 79-105 he objective of this research is to model host community support for tourism development based on the factors found to influence reactions towards it. Using the literature, a tourism support model with hypotheses involving several paths was proposed. Data were collected from five counties surrounding a Virginia (USA) recreation area, and the model and hypothesized paths were tested. The LISREL-8 structural equation analysis package was utilized with maximum likelihood method of estimation in combination with the two-stage process. The findings revealed that the host community support is affected by the level of concern, ecocentric values, utilization of resource base, perceived costs and benefits of the tourism development. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourism constraints
among Israeli seniors, Pages 106-123 A survey of Israeli senior citizens was conducted for the purpose of identifying factors which affect their decision to take vacations for differing lengths of time. Their tourism motivation was found to be a function of income and health, but their trip duration changes with age. Between the age of 55 to 65 expanding leisure time and increased household income cause an increase in the number of vacation days taken. In the older age group (65+) declining incomes and deterioration of health cause a decrease in the number of vacation days taken. The study results confirm the hypothesis that this market segment is not heterogeneous in its vacation-taking behavior. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alternative
tourism and social movements, Pages 124-143 This research tested a theoretical model drawing on components of social psychological (self-efficacy) and resource-mobilization (networks) theories to explain changes in social movement participation among Earthwatch expedition volunteers. It was hypothesized that involvement in an Earthwatch trip increases self-efficacy and facilitates the development of new networks, influencing volunteers' participation in social movement organizations. Results from pre- and post-trip survey suggest that as a consequence of the networks established during an expedition, participation in an expedition had a significantly positive effect on social movement activities. Changes in self-efficacy were not found to have any significant effect. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Backpacker tourism
and Third World development, Pages 144-164 Third World governments often scorn international backpackers, professing instead an enthusiasm for pursuing higher-value, luxury tourism. This article presents an alternative perspective, elaborating upon ways that providing goods and services for backpackers can promote development, especially at the local level. Several challenges will need to be addressed, however, if such communities are to have some control over the backpacker submarket and maximize the benefits they gain from it. Such challenges include overcoming the self-centered attitudes of some backpackers who might behave irresponsibly, and encouraging Third World governments to establish a policy environment and effective infrastructure which support community involvement in this form of tourism. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The "vicious
circle" of tourism development in heritage cities, Pages 165-182 This paper explores the manifold relations among the spatial organization of tourism, the quality of tourism products in heritage cities, and the dynamics of the regional economies. The concept of "vicious circle" describes the self-feeding linkage between the emerging class of excursionist tourists in the later stages of a destination lifecycle, and the decline in a city's attractiveness. Reference is made to the case of Venice. According to this scheme, effective policies for sustainable tourism should attack the critical points where the vicious circle feeds, such as the quality and accessibility of cultural resources. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourism ecolabels,
Pages 183-208 Ecolabels in tourism are commonplace but uncoordinated. Established by individual companies, industry associations, voluntary organizations and government agencies, ecolabels range in scale from single villages to worldwide, from single activities to entire destinations; and they include voluntary codes, awards, accreditation and certification schemes. The degree to which they affect consumer purchasing decisions and corporate environmental performance is largely unknown. If ecolabels contribute to informed tourist choice, they could be a valuable environmental management tool, but only if critical conditions are met. Ecolabels need broad coverage and penetration in relevant market sectors, well-defined and transparent entry criteria, independent audit, and penalties for non-compliance. They also need an effective underlying framework of environmental regulation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revisiting the
destination lifecycle model, Pages 209-230 An air of crisis pervaded tourism during the 90s after the growth decade of the 80s in Lancaster County, the United States. During these two decades, the tourism landscape also underwent significant transformation. This study, based on a mail survey of tourism businesses, focus groups, and other collected data, describes and interprets recent tourism trends. The relevance of Butler's proposed later stages in his destination lifecycle model is examined. The study concludes that Lancaster County is characterized by the coexistence of growth, stagnation, decline, and rejuvenation and that this combination is better termed a stage of maturity. Nevertheless, the potential for significant decline exists in the future if there is no effective strategic planning to promote sustainable tourism. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Host perceptions
of impacts: A Comparative Tourism Study, Pages 231-253 This study investigates resident perceptions of tourism impacts on a Turkish town in absolute and relative terms and draws implications for marketing and destination management from the results. Personal interviews were conducted with household heads and results compared with Fijian and American case studies. Comparative figures suggest that the Turkish residents were generally less supportive of the tourism industry and had fewer positive perceptions of its impacts when compared to the other two cases. It is suggested that a participatory model be implemented to integrate tourism into the local development in the Turkish town. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built Heritage
