Touristic forms
of life in Nepal, Pages 611-630 For many Nepalis the word "tourist" signifies not simply a traveler, but a kind of person––white, "developed"––as a racial/ethnic/caste/species designation within an idiom of personhood common throughout South Asia. This paper illustrates how Nepalis in the Kathmandu Valley diversely talk about and categorize tourists in relation to other categories of person. It also illustrates how Nepalis differentiate––in their own terms––between the different kinds of foreigners who visit their country. Based on this ethnographic data, this paper elaborates on the ideas of Wittgenstein and Winch and argues that tourism must be understood in terms of a range of touristic "forms of life" that encompass local cultural meanings. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourists and
Aboriginal people, Pages 631-647 This paper reports the survey results of a study of tourists visiting Central Australia. It reports that they ranked attractions based on Australian Aboriginal culture as being less attractive than other activities. The paper suggests that satisfaction ratings with various aspects of the visit to Aboriginal culture are associated with the level of importance that are attributed to those features. The findings confirm other research whereby the highest levels of interest in Aboriginal culture are shown by specific groups who can be identified by sociodemographic variables and, furthermore, such levels of interest are shown only by a minority of all tourists to such sites. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Representing
New Zealand: Tourism Imagery and Ideology, Pages 648-667 The identities of destinations around the world are endlessly reinvented as marketing creates powerful social and cultural representations of place. This paper contrasts a series of promotional New Zealand texts produced by the central government agency at the beginning and the end of the 20th century. It employs discourse analysis to reveal the imagery of place representations as a reflection of the sociocultural (con)text and underlying ideologies of leisure. The article concludes that, historically, spatial discourses have reflected the institutional structures and social relations implicated in their production. The analysis reveals that class differentiation based on the political and economic capital of production has given way to consumption based classes of the global cultural economy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Residents' attitudes
toward tourism development, Pages 668-688 In recent years, tourism has been playing a more significant role in the economies of several African countries, including Ghana. The purpose of the paper is to examine attitudes of residents of two of its towns toward tourism development. Factor analysis of scaled items measuring their attitudes resulted in seven tourism-related factors: social interaction with tourists, beneficial cultural influences, welfare impacts, negative interference in daily life, economic costs, sexual permissiveness, and perception of crowding. Results indicate residents' expectations from tourism development were not met and also individuals working in related businesses have negative attitudes toward the industry. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contrasting
strategies: Tourism in Denmark and Singapore, Pages 689-706 This paper analyzes and compares the tourism strategies of Copenhagen and Singapore and examines how Wonderful Copenhagen and Singapore Tourism Board manage their tourism industries and balance the different interests of locals and tourists. It discusses their respective tourism strategies and how they are implemented in each country. The paper shows that these national bodies receive different degrees of societal and institutional support for their programs and concludes that the local political environment affects the destination's tourism promotion authorities in terms of strategies, manner of operation, and extent of influence exercised on the local culture-scape. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spatial demand
for national battlefield parks, Pages 707-719 A spatial demand model is developed to examine some of the factors contributing to the popularity of battlefields as tourism destinations. Specified in a mixed cross-section time-series format, the model is applied to a pooled data set of annual visits to 19 national battlefield parks in the years 1990, 1993, and 1996. In general, the results of an empirical test of the model indicate that a battlefield's spatial market potential, its vintage, and the number of casualties that occurred there contribute to its popularity. The aggregate model indicates, however, that proximity to other battlefields depresses visitation and that the parks appear to be competing with one another. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cooperative
branding for rural destinations, Pages 720-742 Destination image has been extensively studied, yet literature on the branding of it is sparse. This research delineated both concepts and proposed a conceptual model of destination branding. The model is founded on the spreading activation theory and extended from the image formation process framework, drawing on works of prominent branding scholars. Five hypotheses were developed through a case study and tested using two multidimensional scaling methods. The findings suggest that cooperative branding results in a consistent attributes-based image across multiple rural communities as perceived by tourists, but builds stronger linkages of the image to the brand identity and more favorable affective and attitudes-based brand associations for a region than for individual communities. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Biodiversity
and Tourism: Impacts and Interventions, Pages 743-761 This paper sets a framework for intervention in the relationship between biodiversity and tourism against the background of the Convention on Biological Diversity. It is argued that intervention cannot and should not only be based on considerations of measurable impacts of tourism on biodiversity alone. This action should also be weighed against arguments of legitimacy, feasibility, and effectiveness of its various types. Currently, feasibility seems to be the main principle on which interventions are based. As most instruments are non-compulsory, they are effective only to a limited extent. For reasons of legitimacy, the position of small-scale entrepreneurs should receive more attention in international and national policy debates. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Modeling tourism
crime: The 2000 America's Cup, Pages 762-782 Between October 1999 and March 2000, Auckland, New Zealand hosted the largest sporting event ever held in the country, the America's Cup Yacht Race. This paper investigates the impact of this race on destination crime rates, especially against tourists: it statistically models tourism-related crime observing that there was no significant difference between the victimization rates of domestic and overseas tourists. They rather were affected by ethnicity and form of accommodation. The type of crime experienced by overseas tourists differs from that for domestic ones in that foreigners are more subject to theft from places such as the casino or a campervan. Domestic tourists are more likely to experience smaller losses as a result of theft from their cars. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Politics
of Tour Guiding: Image Management in Indonesia, Pages 783-800 The concept of tourist guides as "mediators" of local culture fails to capture the political component of guiding. Governments use tourism strategically in order to address issues of national significance. Based on an analysis of the policies of tourist guiding of the Indonesian government under Suharto's New Order regime, this article discusses the impact of state propaganda on the narratives of tourist guides there. Two related questions are raised: what strategies does the government apply to professionalize and to control tourist guides, and to what extent does government intervention constitute restrictions to and opportunities for the guides' activities? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Age-related
Lifecycles: Purpose Variations, Pages 801-818 By describing and discussing Australian data on outbound tourism, this paper investigates the bimodal (double peaked) lifecycle pattern predicted and observed in the literature. These theories are primarily based on demand for holiday tourism, but tourists do not just go overseas for this purpose, with visiting friends and relatives, business, convention and conference, employment and educational tourism relevant purposes also. Trips overseas by Australians are split into these groups, enabling the age-related lifecycles of each to be examined separately. Unlike holiday tourism, all other purposes are unimodal, although they vary with respect to the age groups at which they peak and their relative positions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Categorical
classification of tourism dining, Pages 819-833 Traditional quantitative techniques in foodservice and tourism are unable to discover hidden relationships from a database with numeric and non-numeric data. This paper reports on an initial study about applying an alternative approach that incorporates the rough set theory into relationship modeling in tourism dining. This theory deals with the non-numeric classification analysis of imprecise, uncertain, or incomplete knowledge by incorporating the classical set theory. Using officially published data on tourism dining, decision rules were generated which describe the relationship model. Empirical findings indicated that among the classified cases, 83% of the forecast values were identical to their actual counterparts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The sacred and
the profane: A Tourist Typology, Pages 834-851 Much writing treats the tourist as a unitary type, confined to a touristic bubble. Attempts have been made to subdivide the tourist by developing various typologies. These approaches neglect the tourists' voice. By contrast, this paper's case study from Chalkidiki, Greece, indicates that different tourist types experience the same host community in different ways. Analysis of qualitative data from 86 British holidaymakers has led to the identification of five micro-types. Each is characterized by the dominant themes identified for their choice of holiday, types of activities, and views about the host community. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Concessions
