Tourism and
seasonal retirement migration, Pages 899-918 This paper suggests that the investigation of tourism-induced seasonal retirement migration can shed new light on issues of anti-tourism, social distinction, and authenticity. Interviews conducted with Swedish retirees, spending their summers in Sweden and their winters in Spain, showed that anti-tourism may involve distinctions from devalued forms of tourism, and also distinctions based on different social roles and positions. The respondents attempted to create a social space for themselves between, on the one hand, tourists and tourism, and on the other hand, the Spanish, Spanishness, and norms of integration. These attempts also produced constructions of authenticity and normality, which challenge traditional conceptions within tourism research. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A New Paradigm
in Guiding: The Madrich as a Role Model, Pages 919-932 The "role model" guides encountered in the counselors of Israel Experience youth study tours, contrast traditional concepts of pathfinder and mentor. This model type is proposed as more appropriate for tours providing informal education and quest for identity. Not drawing authority from official recognition but from a personal guide–tourist relationship, madrichs rated characteristics essential to guides leading these trips. A multi-dimensional analysis uncovered the structure of these characteristics to create a structure of an "excellent" Israel Experience madrich. This structural analysis confirms an earlier typology and helps to uncover another kind of approach towards youth guiding. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AIRPORT RUNWAY
SLOTS: Limits to Growth, Pages 933-951 The United States–European Union market accounts for approximately 25% of all international tourist arrivals worldwide, and is arguably the busiest market in the world. This paper argues that landing slot policy and the manner in which airport capacity is allocated among airlines across the north Atlantic is likely to underpin the future geographic structure of the tourism industry. By analyzing the historical evolution of slot policy, this paper attempts to enhance the extant literature on how government authorities allocate scarce airport resources. The paper concludes by arguing that various slot reform proposals need to be adopted to make airports more "elastic" when managing origin-destination tourist flows. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOURISM AND
CULTURAL PROXIMITY: Examples from New Zealand, Pages 952-971 While tourism products based on Maori culture are popular among some overseas tourists to New Zealand, there has been little research as to their appeal to the domestic market. This paper discusses notions of indigenous tourism and the role of cultural and spatial difference in European conceptualizations of the exotic other. It argues that although there is a common cultural antecedence between non-Maori and European culture, the lack of spatial distance between Maori and tourists means that European New Zealanders are not drawn to Maori culture as an attraction in the manner that those from Europe and North America are. The paper discusses "kiwi culture" and familiarity as determinants of tourist demand. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE TOURISM–LEISURE
BEHAVIOURAL CONTINUUM, Pages 972-986 Tourism and leisure have historically been studied in isolation, but recent researchers attempt to understand the relationship between them. However, there have been few comparisons of how people behave in their environments. This paper provides a conceptual model of the relationship based on a critical review of the current literature on pleasure-oriented environments. The model indicates that despite potential differences in observable behavior, there is a commonality between the underlying influences that define how people behave during their leisure and tourism experiences. Therefore, the paper concludes that these should not be regarded as separate phenomenon. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MARKET POSITIONING
ANALYSIS: A Hybrid Approach, Pages 987-1003 This research introduces a hybrid approach including correspondence analysis and logit modeling to contrast the relative market position of Virginia with eight other eastern US states and the District of Columbia. The data obtained from a series of telephone surveys are analyzed. In a competitive analysis, the study areas are described by youth/mature and culture/nature dimensions relating to activity images as well as by beach/mountain and urban/country dimensions in connection with attraction images. Pennsylvania appears to be an immediate competitor of Virginia in regard to provision of leisure activities. The study concludes with discussions on critical findings along with marketing implications. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourism and
cultural revival, Pages 1004-1021 Cultural change is a recurrent concern in tourism anthropology studies. Host societies frequently remodel their culture following the creation of a tourist resort. But, that does not necessarily imply an acculturating process, since what actually takes place is pragmatic cultural production work in response to the touristic demands that offer consolidated economic alternatives and livelihood. As for the Pataxó Indians of Porto Seguro of Brazil, they have sponsored a "cultural revival" process. In other words, they have generated the traditions that start being exhibited commercially in arenas where the prospect of emergent ethnic tourism is perceived. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- African-American
travel agents: Travails and Survival, Pages 1022-1035 Social science research on the struggles of early and contemporary independent African-American travel agents represents a void in the literature. These agents experienced serious obstacles to survival during the past half-century, not only during times of racial segregation, but more recently with airlines and government regulations, expensive technological innovations, and significant industry demands. Six agents describe their histories, successes and failures, and the futures of independent Black travel agents; serious difficulties remain, including access to capital. A scenario identifies the start-up costs for an independent Black travel agency in a medium-sized Middle West metropolitan area to illustrate the problems that remain. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cultural tourism
in Kenya, Pages 1036-1047 This study investigates the cultural heritage of the Gusii community in Western Kenya, with particular emphasis on their attachment to its preservation and conservation. A questionnaire was used and a random sample of the inhabitants interviewed. Factor analysis with the aid of SPSS was used to analyze the data. Eleven cultural heritage elements or factors in need of preservation and exploitation for tourism were found. The study went one step further to explore why tourists visit cultural heritage sites and the results were used to develop an attraction development model to guide cultural tourism planning. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourism attraction
systems: Exploring Cultural Behavior, Pages 1048-1064 Attractions are vital sub-elements in all whole tourism systems, and yet their study suffers from lack of theoretical depth and empirical foundation. This paper presents an empirical exploration of the attraction system model, based on a survey of over 6,000 tourists to cultural attractions. The results provide strong support both for the general structure of the model and for the idea that tourists are "pushed" towards attractions by their motivations. Visitation is shown to be strongly related to motivation, attraction markers, use of different media, and touristic characteristics. Potential areas of development for the model are suggested, including more consideration of the relationship between agency and structure. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sustainable
tourism and the question of the commons, Pages 1065-1085 Sustainable development calls for wise management of natural, built, and sociocultural resources in destination areas. Resources created mainly for tourism are used in time by the local population as well. Many others are shared in common with local people in everyday life. More often than not, resources are overused and degraded, as is the unfortunate fate of most `common pool resources'. When this happens, sustainable development is severely threatened: economic wellbeing declines, environmental conditions worsen, social injustice grows, and tourist satisfaction drops. This paper analyzes the central role that common pool resources play in sustainable tourism development, outlines policy design principles for their management, and offers future research directions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tourism and
immigration: Comparing Alternative Approaches, Pages 1086-1100 Using survey data from ex-Soviet Union tourists visiting Israel and eligible for immigrant status, this article investigates alternative factors which affect the probability of a tourist making an immigration decision. The developed tourism-immigration model is based on predictors associated with push-pull migration, social capital, and tourism theories. The results of cumulative logistic regression models suggest that the probability of an immigration decision is based on a set of mutually reinforcing factors: well-established and supportive relatives at the destination along with intentions to own property and engage in business activities. Motivations are found as primary contributors to explaining and predicting a probable immigration decision. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rural tourism
in Spain, Pages 1101-1110 The aim of this study is to determine the features that characterize a new tourist class, called modern rural tourism, and to figure out the proportion of this market in one specific Spanish region. The geographical territory under study is El Alto Palancia, one of the best known rural resorts, within the Valencian region. In order to fulfil these goals, an empirical study was undertaken and an econometric model was applied afterwards. A wide set of variables has been selected for the Logit Binomial Model, which is shown to be useful in discriminating the modern from traditional tourists. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hiroshima and
Nagasaki in Japanese guidebooks, Pages 1111-1137 This study investigates the presentations of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as postwar tourism destinations in a selection of Japanese-language guidebooks. Comparison is made between commonly voiced criticisms of Japanese attitudes toward the two atom-bombed sites and the tourism activities suggested by the publications themselves. An expected presentation emphasizing Japanese suffering as a result of the atom bombs is not found in the guides, but neither is an openness to discussion of the war. The conclusions reached find Hiroshima standing as emblematic of the rebuilding nation as a whole, while Nagasaki remains largely outside of the social and cultural dynamics of postwar Japan. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Partnership
and regional tourism in Brazil, Pages 1138-1164 Partnerships in planning for regional development can bring together stakeholders representing interests at national, regional, and local geographical scales. This paper examines a regional tourism development partnership in Northeast Brazil. It explores the effects of socioeconomic and political contexts on this collaborative arrangement, the processes of joint working, and how participation was extended to parties not attending the regular meetings. The partnership focused on coordination among government organizations at different spatial scales and with various functions, with participants largely confined to the public sector. Using this assessment, an analytical framework is presented to assist other researchers interested in this theme. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Use of Sustainable
