Global
and local interactions in tourism, Pages 287-306 Globalization is often viewed as a powerful force coming from "outside". Using Haw Par Villa in Singapore as an example, this paper counterargues that landscapes also change in response to forces emanating from "within". The geometries of power arising from the interaction of the global and the local transformed Haw Par Villa into a worldclass Oriental Disneyland in the first instance, then back to its mythological and cultural roots, and finally to a landscape marked by the personal influences of a small group of operators who managed the park. The restlessness of the attraction shows that landscapes evolve as they become contested and redefined according to changing historical-geographical trajectories. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cultural
rural tourism: Evidence from Canada, Pages 307-322 Tourism has become a development tool for many rural and more isolated areas to supplement traditional industries that are often in decline. In this paper, development of cultural rural tourism is examined in a case study of a French Acadian region on an island in eastern Canada. The roles of culture and community-based partnerships are considered in a proposed framework with four evolving development stages. The findings suggest that the framework is useful for rural tourism development; that culture, which is often well preserved in rural areas, is a valuable resource to include; and that community-based partnerships such as cooperatives may be very effective. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Implications
of potential green tourism development, Pages 323-341 Literature reviews suggest the marketing concept should be applied to green tourism planning. Based on a survey of potential such tourists, this research identifies the types of attributes and their corresponding levels that they seek. It also estimates the extent of their influence upon intention to visit by market segment. This study is based on Yangpyeong County in South Korea prior to introducing green tourism. Although this is a case study, other nations can apply the conjoint choice model to develop a suitable combination of factors for attracting potential green tourists, and refer to the findings of this research for guidance in operating their green tourism destinations. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hotel
investment in open area, Pages 342-352 Environmental open space is difficult to define and value. This paper estimates the rate of return on hotels' investment in open area for three locations in the State of Hawaii, United States. The marginal revenue for open area investment is estimated using a hedonic analysis of hotel room prices. The marginal cost of open area investment is adapted from secondary data. The study reports on estimated return rates, which in two locations are consistent with previous research and with the risk levels faced by hotels/resorts in Hawaii. The lower rate of the third location appears to be the result of inaccurate expectations about changing land values. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commoditizing
culture: Tourism and Maya Identity, Pages 353-368 This ethnographic study examined how the commoditization of culture for tourism affected traditional practices in a formerly Maya village adjacent to the most-visited Mayan ruins in Belize. Though the majority of villagers had abandoned this indigenous identity, they responded to the tourism demand for representations of an essentialized Mayan culture by utilizing new channels to access traditions they could no longer learn through old ways: they turned to the publications of archaeologists and epigraphers who study the ancient Maya. As villagers developed expertise in the cultural traditions of their ancestors, they remained ambivalent about whether or not their unconventional acquisition of this knowledge provided sufficient basis for reclaiming Maya identities. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change
in an Estonian resort: Contrasting Development Contexts, Pages 369-385 The development of Pärnu is examined through an historical narrative, suggested by the concept of "transitional pathway analysis", making a contribution to tourism studies in the former Soviet bloc and the function of tourism in post-communist transitional economies. The importance of location and transport networks, the influence of the Russian hinterland and the Scandinavian regional market, the evolution of the Soviet domestic tourism market, the appearance of a new managerial elite, and the significance of the political, cultural, and economic developments are stressed. Two subtexts are suggested: the impact of external factors on the crucial service sector in transition economies and the nature of Western assistance. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shades
of dark tourism: Alcatraz and Robben Island, Pages 386-405 Former sites of punishment and incarceration have become a popular tourist experience as defunct prisons are converted into museums or heritage sites. Among the most prominent are Alcatraz in the United States, and Robben Island in South Africa. While some theorists might categorize such practices as "dark tourism," this paper argues for an analysis that accounts for the multiple shades of penal history marketing and interpretation. Drawing on policy documents, onsite observations, tourist surveys, and interviews with museum staff, the paper explores how multi-hued forms of interpretation have been produced, not only through shifting priorities of memory managers, but also the expectations of tourists and the agendas of external interest groups. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Local
economic impacts: The British Open, Pages 406-425 This paper quantifies the local economic impact of the 1999 British Open. Disparate methodological elements in the literature are brought together to establish a consistent analytical framework. It was estimated that about $20.1m of "new money" was injected into the local economy. Accounting for local multiplier effects, the anticipated ripple effect on the regional economy was about $20.8m. The level of economic impact could easily have been overestimated if a carefully structured working methodology had not been employed. The proportion of local goods in the total value of goods and services purchased by tourists provides the most important indicator of economic impact in the study area. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Touring
Churchill's England: Rituals of Kinship and Belonging, Pages 426-445 Drawing upon the insights to be gained from material culture studies, this article examines the role of objects as identity markers, specifically those displayed at Chartwell, the former home of Sir Winston Churchill. Theoretically grounded in the psychological dynamics of nationness, it argues that both man and house personify characteristics of Englishness. The artefacts inside the house resemble a forest of symbols depicting those aspects of the nation considered worthy of reverence. Recognition of these symbols takes place within three realms: imagination, memory and emotion. Within these realms lies the potential to rekindle the national self-confidence and unity that Churchill is deemed to represent. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pay
determination: A Socioeconomic Framework, Pages 446-464 The article attempts to form a conceptual framework for understanding how pay levels and differentials are determined in tourism employment. This is constructed from the application of economic, structural, and psychological theories to known structural, and behavioral features of the industry. It identifies factors that work in concert to exert deflationary or inflationary pressures on the level of pay. The attractiveness of tourism, mobility, and the tolerance of low pay feature strongly, but at the heart of the notion is that the socioeconomic factors are synthesized into fundamental managerial assumptions which are maintained by industry norms. The outcome is a framework replete with deflationary influences. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noticing
notices: Tourism to Order, Pages 465-484 This study examines one way in which order is imposed on tourist behavior––via notices as communicating signs. It argues that the relationship between marker and sight is more than informational or promotional. It transcends the ocular-centric to include social control. First a preliminary typology of inductively identified signs is offered, one that deals with variants of indirect social control: anticipatory, classificatory, boundary maintaining, demonstrative, identificationary, ambiguous and absent. A similarly tentative taxonomy is proposed which ranges across a number of direct forms of increasing social control exerted by notices: from the petitionary and advisory to the obligatory, hortatory and minatory. Several examples illustrate the elements of each classificatory scheme. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes
