Percepción de la sustentabilidad del ecoturismo bajo el enfoque de agroecosistemas : El caso de la reserva de la biosfera Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz.
Provedor de dados: 32
Autores: Vega Vela, Valeria.
El turismo emerge en los últimos 20 años como opción y alternativa para el impulso del desarrollo rural. Esta actividad puede ser una acción viable para conservar, recuperar y aprovechar los recursos naturales, sociales y económicos de una determinada región. En este sentido, algunas modalidades del turismo alternativo, integran acciones de sustentabilidad en su concepto y definición. La actividad de ecoturismo es sin duda viable para el desarrollo de comunidades rurales. El reto en la Reserva de la Biosfera Los Tuxtlas (RBLT), en Veracruz, México, es cumplir el compromiso de conservar los recursos naturales y estar encaminado a la sustentabilidad. El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la percepción de los propietarios y turistas con base al grado...

Aptitud de áreas con fines ecoturísticos en La Sierra Nevada de Texcoco, Estado de México.
Provedor de dados: 32
Autores: Pérez Vivar, Marcelino Aurelio.
El presente trabajo aborda como tema principal la determinación de la aptitud ecoturística en áreas forestales; el objetivo principal fue generar un sistema de cómputo que a partir de información cartográfica (temática) así como social (criterios, variables, valores de importancia) fuera capaz de realizar un análisis del grado de compatibilidad (aptitud) entre las condiciones presentes en un espacio y las necesarias para la práctica de una actividad ecoturística. Para alcanzar tal meta fue necesario revisar conceptos que permitieran entender el ecoturismo como fenómeno social, así como su relación con el ambiente y comprender la necesidad de una cuidadosa planificación en la implementación de un proyecto ecoturístico en un espacio específico. Estos...

Autores: Terrasa-Soler, Jose J.; Planning and Development Office, Puerto Rico Tourism Company; jterrasa@me.com; Seguinot, Tatiana; University of Puerto Rico-Medical Sciences Campus, Graduate School of Public Health ; tatiana.seguinot@upr.edu.
The general behavior of the tourism sector in Puerto Rico, with its marked seasonality, hints at a close relationship between tourism activities and climate conditions. Even if weather condition is only one of many variables considered by travelling tourists, climate conditions weigh heavily in the majority of the decisions. The effect of climate variability on the environment could be manifested in warmer temperature, heat waves, and changes in the frequency of extreme weather events, such as severe storms and hurricanes, floods, and sea level rise. These conditions affect different sectors of society, among them public health and the economy. Therefore, our research has two main objectives: to establish a tourism climate index (TCI) for Puerto Rico and...

Tourism related to bathing has a growing economic importance in the Guadiana Estuary in southern Spain and Portugal. Polls of local public opinion showed an awareness of potential and current threats to the aquatic environment posed by regulation of river flow and untreated/poorly-treated urban sewage discharge.  Because of this strong concern for water quality, it was selected as the policy issue for our application of the Systems Approach Framework (SAF). We developed an integrated simulation model of the Guadiana estuarine system in which the ecological system and socioeconomic components are linked by means of beach eco-label (Blue Flag Award) through its dependence on fecal bacterial thresholds. We quantified the socioeconomic impacts of water quality...

We present a new method for ecologically sustainable land use planning within multiple land use schemes. Our aims were (1) to develop a method that can be used to locate important areas based on their ecological values; (2) to evaluate the quality, quantity, availability, and usability of existing ecological data sets; and (3) to demonstrate the use of the method in Eastern Finland, where there are requirements for the simultaneous development of nature conservation, tourism, and recreation. We compiled all available ecological data sets from the study area, complemented the missing data using habitat suitability modeling, calculated the total ecological score (TES) for each 1 ha grid cell in the study area, and finally, demonstrated the use of TES in...

Social-ecological systems are often highly complex, making effective governance a considerable challenge. In large, heterogeneous systems, hierarchical institutional regimes may be efficient, but effective management outcomes are dependent on stakeholder support. This support is shaped by perceptions of legitimacy, which risks being undermined where resource users are not engaged in decision-making. Although legitimacy is demonstrably critical for effective governance, less is known about the factors contributing to stakeholders&amp;#8217; perceptions of legitimacy or how these perceptions are socially differentiated. We quantitatively assessed stakeholder perceptions of legitimacy (indicated by support for rules) and their contributory factors among 307...

The opinions and perceptions of local communities are central issues in the sustainable management of conservation areas. During 2002 and 2003, we studied the opinions of local people about nature conservation and the development of tourism to investigate whether these opinions were influenced by socioeconomic and demographic factors. Data were collected via a survey of local residents in six areas with different histories of land use, land ownership, conservation, and tourism development. We classified respondents by cluster analysis into three different groups according to their opinions about nature conservation and tourism development: (1) sympathetic to nature conservation, but quite neutral to tourism development (57.7%); (2) critical of nature...

Small rural Alaskan communities face many challenges surrounding rapid social and ecological change.  The role of local subsistence resources may change over time because of changes in social perception, economic need, and cultural patterns of use.  We look at the Bering Sea&amp;#8217;s Pribilof Islands, comprising two very small communities, and investigate the relationship between the local residents and seabirds as a natural resource.  Seabirds may strengthen ties to older ways of life and have potential for future economic opportunities, or modernization may direct interest away from seabirds as a cultural and economic resource.  We conducted a survey and interviews of residents of the two Pribilof Island communities, St. Paul and St. George, to assess...

J.; Regalis Environmental Services;.
Land-cover change has been identified as one of the most important drivers of change in ecosystems and their services. However, information on the consequences of land cover change for ecosystem services and human well-being at local scales is largely absent. Where information does exist, the traditional methods used to collate and communicate this information represent a significant obstacle to sustainable ecosystem management. Embedding science in a social process and solving problems together with stakeholders are necessary elements in ensuring that new knowledge results in desired actions, behavior changes, and decisions. We have attempted to address this identified information gap, as well as the way information is gathered, by quantifying the...

National Parks and Protected Areas and the Role for Employment in Tourism and Forest Sectors: a Swedish Case
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Fredman, Peter; ETOUR; Mittuniversitetet; Peter.Fredman@etour.se; Sandell, Klas; Karlstad University; Stockholm University; klas.sandell@kau.se.
The development of national parks and other protected areas has been widely promoted because of its potential for regional development in peripheral and sparsely populated areas. The argument is that the economic and social benefits seen in national parks in the USA and UK will also occur in the Swedish context in the form of an increased tourism-related labor market. Our aim was to analyze the possibility of such a development both in light of the policy visions of positive regional and local development and from the adversary point of view that protection of land is making it more difficult for 15 sparsely populated mountain municipalities in Sweden to prosper. We used a database covering the entire population of the area for 1991 to 2001. Our results...

The Hidden Cost of Tourism: Detecting Long-term Effects of Tourism Using Behavioral Information
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Lusseau, David; University of Aberdeen; d.lusseau@abdn.ac.uk.
Increasingly, whales and dolphins are the focus of tourism activities in many coastal locations. Although these activities can affect individuals and populations of cetaceans, the biological significance and hence the cost of these impacts are as yet largely unknown. This study assessed the effects of boat interactions on the behavioral budget of two populations of bottlenose dolphins (Tersiops truncatus) living in similar fjords but exposed to different levels of tourism activities. This comparison makes it possible to assess the costs of short-term avoidance strategies and the threshold at which those strategies are no longer effective. The effects of boat interactions were the same in both fjords. The resting state was the most sensitive to...

This paper shows that it is difficult, if not impossible, to formulate policies that guarantee that tourism can be maintained for a long time without severely impacting on the environment. The analysis is purely theoretical and is based on very simple and general assumptions about the interactions between the three main components of the system: the tourists, the environment, and the capital. These assumptions are encapsulated in a so-called minimal model, used to predict the economic and environmental impact of any given policy. This paper is of value for three reasons. First, it introduces the approach of minimal descriptive models in the context of tourism, which has traditionally been dominated by the use of black-box econometric models. Second, the...

Le caractère territorial des attractions touristiques liées aux pêches maritimes : une illustration par le modèle du panier de biens
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Pocheau, Chloé; Alban, Frederique; Le Floc H, Pascal; Legouvello, Raphaela.
The question addressed in this article focuses on the conditions for strengthening the territorial character of tourist attractions around a fishing port with a strong identity. In the face of the depletion of resources, the territories dependent on the exploitation of living marine resources try reconversions during the 1990s, especially towards tourism. The article is based on the fishing port of Guilvinec on which has been created an exhibition center for a large audience. The survey methodology is mobilized to delimit the territory on which the fishing activities and the exhibition center are attractive. An estimate of the expenses incurred by visitors is proposed. The tourist’s consumption of the exhibition center and fisheries is in line with the...

Autores: Ilarri,Martina Di Iulio; Souza,Allan Tainá de; Medeiros,Paulo Roberto de; Grempel,Renato Grotta; Rosa,Ierecê Maria de Lucena.
The effects of tourist visitation and food provisioning on fish assemblages were assessed by visual censuses (stationary technique) carried out in a tropical reef in Northeastern Brazil. Comparisons of species abundance, richness, equitability, and trophic structure in the presence (PT) and absence (AT) of tourists suggest that tourist visitation and supplementary food influenced the structure of the fish assemblage, as follows: (a) diversity, equitability and species richness were significantly higher on the AT period, while the abundance of a particular species was significantly higher during PT; (b) trophic structure differed between the AT and PT periods, omnivores being more abundant during the latter period, while mobile invertivores, piscivores,...

Tourism in Zanzibar
Provedor de dados: 20
Autores: Heita-Mwampamba, N.
The islands of Zanzibar are located about 40 kilometers from the African continent, in the shallow coastal waters of the Indian Ocean. As the remnant of an economic center of the Omani Empire, which attained its climax in the middle of the 19th century, Zanzibar today boasts a culture and history closely linked with its historic events: Shirazi, Persian and Omani settlers, Indian and Arabian architecture, spicy dishes, slave caves, and historical figures such as Speke, Livingston and Tipu Tipp have all left their marks. Everywhere on the island, mementos of this past can be seen and are recounted in tales of myth and reality passed down from one generation to the next. Furthermore, the abundance of unique marine and terrestrial fauna and flora make...

Cette thèse étudie le problème de la gestion des pêches au sein d’une AMP, en tenant compte du système économique global ainsi que des transformations structurelles qui affectent celui ci, et en diversifiant les critères de gestion. Le cas d’étude est la RBDS (Sénégal). Une enquête de terrain montre que la population de cette localité diversifie ses activités essentiellement entre l’agriculture, la pêche et le tourisme. Une analyse économétrique indique que la démographie, la sécheresse et la baisse du prix de l’arachide sur le marché mondial sont les principales causes de la crise agricole dans la région. Cette crise favorise la diversification vers la pêche. Un modèle théorique étudiant ce processus montre qu’il conduit la pêche à l’équilibre de libre...

Economics without markets: Policy inferences from nature-based tourism studies in Namibia
Provedor de dados: 20
Autores: Humavindu, M.N.
This work documents policy inferences from valuation studies carried on nature-based tourism in Namibia. It is found that nature-based tourism in Namibia is not optimally priced and that significant resource rents do exists. Thus efforts are needed to ensure that Namibia’s natural assets are priced optimally and that the resource rents are captured. In capturing the resource rents, a combination of methods (user fees, indirect taxation schemes and environmental voluntary funds) should be pursued. Pricing policies adopted should at best reflect the costs of providing the environmental good/service.

A partir de 1960 y con mayor intensidad a partir de 1965 se convirtió el Rodadero en el balneario preferido por los colombianos durante ciertas épocas del año en el Mar Caribe. Anteriormente solo era una playa desolada, donde se encontraban dispersas algunas chozas de pescadores. El Rodadero ha sido clasificado por la prensa colombiana y por la opinión pública como el "centro turístico de Colombia" o "la perla del Caribe". Más aún, se lo ha colocado entre la categoría de los balnearios lujosos internacionales, que existen en la región del Caribe (como Acapulco, Miami etc.). En 1969/70 se realizó una investigación socio-económico en el Rodadero, debido a que se presentan fuertes argumentos en contra de lo arriba mencionado. De acuerdo con las...

This report provides a broad assessment of the current status of coastal tourism in Tanzania and identifies the priority actions that need to be taken in order to develop a sustainable coastal tourism industry. Tourism is one of Tanzania's leading economic sectors, providing employment, foreign exchange and international recognition. For many years, tourism has relied solely on the superb wildlife found in the country. It is only recently that the need to diversify away from wildlife tourism and focus on coastal and cultural tourism has been recognized.

Autores: Schleyer, M.; Obura, D.; Rodrigues, M.J.
The 1997-1998 El Nino southern oscillation (ENSO) caused elevated sea temperatures that resulted in global coral bleaching. Coral reefs constitute an important biological resource in terms of their complex biodiversity and are the basis for tropical reef fisheries and marine ecotourism. They represent one of Mozambique's main coastal assets and its coastal communities and growing tourism industry rely mainly on reef-based resources. Mozambican artisanal fisheries are largely centred on reefs and are responsible for about 70% of the total catch, highlighting their importance. Most tourism similarly occurs along the coast where the best infrastructure is established, especially near the coral reefs of Pemba, Mozambique Island, the Bazaruto Archipelago,...

Economics and Tourism Development: Structural Features of Tourism and Economic Influences on its Vulnerability
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tisdell,   Clement A.
To a large extent, economic factors explain the global growth of the tourism industry, the concentration of tourism in high-income countries, and the high degree of cross-border tourism between higher income countries themselves. This is discussed. In doing so, shortcomings of tourism statistics reported by the World Tourism Organisation are examined. These statistics can be quite misleading as a means of identifying the relative importance of tourism to different nations. This is shown by rank correlations and conceptually. Economics not only influences the geographical spread of tourism but it is a major determinant of market structures in the tourism industry. These industrial market structures, such as those involving monopolistic competition, combined...

Open-Cycle Hatcheries, Tourism and Conservation of Sea Turtles: Economic and Ecological Analysis
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tisdell,   Clement A.; Wilson,   Clevo.
Considers the role that tourism-based sea turtle-hatcheries can play in conserving populations of sea turtles by combining economic analysis of markets with ecological parameters. Background is provided on the nature and development of such hatcheries in developing countries, giving particular attention to Sri Lanka. The modelling provided helps with the assessment of the impacts of turtle hatcheries on the conservation of sea turtles and enables ecological consequences of tourism, based on such hatcheries, to be better appreciated than in the absence of such modelling. The results demonstrate that sea turtle hatcheries that operate for tourist purposes can make a positive contribution to sea turtle conservation, but this depends on the manner in which...

THE UNDERSTANDING OF INTERNATIONAL TOURISM DEVELOPMENT

Autores: van der Wal,   Marcus.
Tourism is travel for recreational, leisure or business purposes. Tourism has become one of the major players in international commerce, and represents at the same time one of the main income sources for many developing countries. This growth goes hand in hand with an increasing diversification and competition among destinations (Unwto, 2010).Working and serving in this pumping industry means to understand and react to the needs of all these people moving around this “small” planet! Success is defined by those who understand these needs and fulfill them to the satisfaction. Unfortunately, our industry is rather slow and we can be characterized as reactive instead of innovative. We adapt too slow compared to other industries that define the needs of their...

There are only few states in the United States where state income relies heavily on tourism industry, and Vermont is one of them. Vermont has the advantage in possessing spectacular landscape, clean environment, and attractive agriculturally based rural community, which provide an excellent opportunity for tourism industry development. Vermont economy also benefits from the tourists' activities because: (1) tourists contribute significant amount of income to Vermont economy, especially from ski business; (2) tourists' expenditures in Vermont become a significant source of state tax income; and (3) to sustain tourism industry in Vermont helps to preserve rural community environment as well as nature beauty in Vermont.

Existe un conflicto entre la globalizacion del turismo y los recursos naturales?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Font,   Antoni Riers; Parrilla,   Javier Capo; Tous,   Teresa Palmer.
La globalización, así como el turismo internacional, son dos de los fenómenos económicos más analizados en los últimos años, tanto por su creciente importancia como por sus visibles efectos sobre la economía. La notable expansión del turismo tiene como origen, en gran parte, las mismas causas que explican la globalización económica, de ahí que, a menudo, se hable de‘globalización turística’. Uno de los argumentos más utilizados por los detractores de la globalización es su elevado impacto en términos ambientales. En este sentido, resulta obligado reflexionar sobre la existencia de un potencial conflicto entre el, cada vez mayor, desarrollo turístico y la conservación de los recursos naturales. Una cuestión ésta que adquiere especial importancia en el caso...

World Heritage Listing of Australian Natural Sites: Effects on Tourism, Economic Value and Conservation
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tisdell,   Clement A.
This article is primarily concerned with the economic consequences of World Heritage listing for the valuation of natural properties and the economic impacts of this listing. Australian data is used to throw light on this subject. Conceptual problems that arise in valuation are explored and several neglected limitations of the travel cost method for estimating the demand for visits to natural sites are mentioned. The importance of economic impact analysis in this context (especially its political ramifications) is given attention. The use of World Heritage listing for political purposes is discussed. It is argued that World Heritage listing favours the long-term conservation of natural properties.

Environmentalism in tourism: the connection of lifestyle, tourism and sustainable development
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: David,   Lorant; Szucs,   Csaba.
In Adler’s theory the “style of life” refers to how we live, sort out difficulties, and manage our own personal relationships. He strongly believed that each one of us is a distinctive, unique individual with our own characteristic way of life. Since the term was coined in the early 20th century it is no wonder that the meaning of “lifestyle” has gone through enormous changes. These days it is more often used to express “a way of life or style of living that reflects the attitudes and values of a person or group”. Since globalisation is increasingly turning the world into a “global village” no wonder that lifestyle is changing faster than ever before. As a result “for tourism, this influences the tourist’s perception of his/her personal needs and behaviour...

Compliance with the principles of sustainability is now a general requirement with respect to any tourism strategy, tourism policy or management. Much has been written about the issue of sustainability and its relationship to tourism management and development. Still, their actual relationship is not always clear, and whilst a number of methodologies profess to be sustainable, there is no clear statement as to how that can be achieved. It is generally accepted, irrespective of the sustainability model used, that there are three key components or strands to sustainability: economic, social and environmental. It is in working towards a balance between the competing demands of all three components that progress towards sustainability can be achieved. One...

Autores: Murova,   Olga I.; Hanagriff,   Roger D.
The goal of this study, based on data collected through community surveys and visitors’ surveys, is to determine and analyze factors impacting returns from rural tourism. Our first model shows that age of event, median family income, and hired labor have a significant impact on the revenues collected from tourism events. Furthermore, it shows brochures and flyers to be the most effective form of advertisement. The second multivariate regression model proves that traveling greater distances, staying overnight at a hotel, and plans for visiting surrounding areas contribute positively and significantly to higher individual expenditures by tourists.

ENDOGENOUS INITIATIVES AS A CHANCE TO IMPROVE RURAL LIVELIHOOD? RESULTS OF A CASE STUDY IN BALTOW, SOUTH-EASTERN POLAND
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gramzow,   Andreas.
Polish rural areas, compared to other EU-25 member states, still show a high agricultural employment due to a lack of job opportunities in other rural economic sectors. In particular, in South-eastern Poland the shut down of heavy industry companies in the early 1990s left many rural inhabitants only with small incomes from their peasant farms or pensions. In the commune Ba³tów (South-eastern Poland) in order to counteract these developments, local development associations and a regional partnership undertook initiatives to stimulate the regional economy by creating a tourism infrastructure. This paper presents a case study, conducted in Ba³tów, which analyses local problems, development chances, and experience with local endogenous initiatives. The main...

Hungary is the pioneer of the European Equestrian Tourism. Several thousands foreign tourists visited specific equestrian programmes already in the 1960’s and 1970’s. At the same times some hundred thousands of holiday tourists visited equestrian shows and programs organised in different areas of our country. From the beginning of the 1990’s equestrian enterprises (pensions, stables, specialized equestrian services) have been established. The equestrian tourism enterprises are well represented all over the country. They are well organised, the Hungarian Equestrian Tourism Association integrates 80% of equestrian tourism enterprises. Uniquely in Europe, the voluntary professional qualification, called “the horseshoe qualification system” started in 1998....

Estimating Tourist Externalities on Residents: A Choice Modeling Approach to the Case of Rimini
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Figini,   Paolo; Castellani,   Massimiliano; Vici,   Laura.
During their holidays, tourists produce direct and indirect effects on local residents, which can either be positive or negative. In this paper we investigate how residents of Rimini, a popular Italian seaside resort hosting more than ten million national and foreign overnight stays every year, internalise such effects. We use a stated preference approach and, in particular, a discrete choice modelling technique; within this framework, we are able to test some conjectures about residents’ welfare, by measuring their willingness to pay for alternative scenarios regarding the use of the territory. Tourist policies and public investments in the destination affect residents’ welfare, and our results might suggest areas of potential synergies and trade-off,...

This report analyzes the environmental impacts of the tourism industry, which is the third largest retail industry in the United States, behind only automotive dealers and food stores. In 1998, travel and tourism contributed $91 billion to the U.S. economy, supporting 16.2 million jobs directly and indirectly. While extensive research has documented the significant economic impact of such service industries as tourism, little has been written about their effect on environmental quality. This study uses a framework developed from the industrial ecology literature to assess the impacts of the tourism industry on the environment. Three categories of impact are discussed: direct impacts, including impacts from the travel to a destination, the tourist...

A turizmus szerepe a Mátravidéken
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: David,   Lorant; Toth,   Geza.
A Mátra településeinek jó része társadalmi-gazdasági problémákkal küzd, melyeket jól jellemez az elvándorlás, a magas munkanélküliség, alacsony vállalkozássűrűség, illetve jövedelem. Az Észak-magyarországi Régióban végzett kutatásainkban már korábban megállapítottuk ezeket a tényeket. A Mátravidék fejlődésének egyik alapja lehetne az idegenforgalom/turizmus, de megállapítható, hogy kereskedelmi szálláshely-ellátottság tekintetében lakosságarányosan jelentősen elmarad a vidéki átlagtól, tehát fejlesztésekre van szükség. Véleményünk szerint elsősorban a meglévő 3 és 4 csillagos szállodák minőségi fejlesztését szükséges végrehajtani. Ha a Mátravidék turizmusa dinamikus fejlődésnek indul, a minőségi szálláshelyek férőhely-kapacitásának növelése is indokolt...

Internationalisierung der Dienstleistungserstellung: Konsequenzen fur den schweizerischen Arbeitsmarkt
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Henneberger,   Fred; Ziegler,   Alexandre.
This paper analyses the potential employment effects of foreign direct investment in the Swiss services industry. First, the theoretical analysis considers the consequences on domestic employment resulting from the specific characteristics of services compared with those of industrial goods. It is demonstrated that conventional research in this field systematically ignores important factors which influence domestic employment. We point out that, not only the degree of tradability of services, but also the mobility of consumers and producers, as well as the motives underlying the decisions for foreign investment have a crucial influence on the consequences to be expected for the domestic labour market. Second, an initial attempt was undertaken to...

NEW TYPES OF TOURISM AND TOURISM MARKETING IN THE POST-INDUSTRIAL WORLD
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Arva,   Laszlo; Deli-Gray,   Zsuzsa.
At the end of the 20th century in the most developed countries economy and society went through profound transformation. The emerging post-industrial society can be characterised by the dominance of service industry, more leisure time of the population, higher disposable income and more conscious consumers. These conscious consumers are more and more quality orientated and reject undifferentiated mass products. New customers of tourism and hospitality industry are not only more affluent – so less price conscious – and more quality orientated but they are also seeking activity, participation, fantasy, and experience. These new types of tourists are interested rather in aesthetic aspects of life and are seeking highly differentiated, personalised experience....

The Contribution of the Grape and Wine Industry to Idaho’s Economy: Agribusiness and Tourism Impacts
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Foltz,   John C.; Woodall,   Stacie; Wandschneider,   Philip R.; Taylor,   R. Garth.
The impact of Idaho’s wine and grape industry was assessed as an agribusiness and as a tourist industry. Idaho’s grape and wine industry is in its infancy, with wine sales of $15 million from 15 wineries and growers cultivating about 1,000 acres, primarily in southwestern Idaho’s Canyon County. Synthesized output multipliers for wine tourism were virtually identical to the agribusiness output multipliers (1.86 and 2.10 for Canyon County and the state of Idaho, respectively). The wine and grape industry’s agribusiness impact is $15 million in sales and 120 jobs in Idaho, and $23 million and 140 jobs for Canyon County. In contrast, tourism expenditures stimulate other businesses in addition to the agribusiness linkages of grape and wine production. Thus,...

Valuation of Tourism's Natural Resources
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tisdell,   Clement A.
Discusses the implications of the economic valuation of natural resources used for tourism and relates this valuation to the concept of total economic valuation.  It demonstrates how applications of the concept of total economic valuation can be supportive of the conservation of natural resources used for tourism.  Techniques for valuing tourism’s natural resources are then outlined and critically evaluated.  Consideration is given to travel cost methods, contingent valuation methods, and hedonic pricing approaches before concentrating on current developments of valuation techniques, such as choice modelling.  The general limitations of existing methods are considered and it is argued that more attention should be given to developing guidelines that will...

Autores: Vasvari,   Agnes; David,   Lorant; Szabo,   Szilard.
A Tisza-tó jelentős változásokat idézett elő a térség életében, módosult a települések térbeli kiterjedése. Ez a fajta térmódosulás a tanulmányban bemutatott ábrákon kiválóan végigkövethető. Sarud, Abádszalók és Tiszafüred esetében egyértelműen megállapítható, hogy a települések térszerkezetének eltolódása a Tisza-tó partján kínálkozó turisztikai lehetőségek hatására következett be. A településkép beépítettségében, új településrészek kialakításában, a település arculatának módosulásában szintén közrejátszott a Tisza-tó léte. A strandok településformáló hatása is jelentős a feléjük vezető lineáris infrastruktúrák fejlődésében, az út mentén lévő telkek árainak felértékelésében és a parton végbemenő változásokban (például Abádszalók).

Wildlife-based Tourism and Increased Tourist Support for Nature Conservation Financially and Otherwise: Evidence from Sea Turtle Ecotourism at Mon Repos
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tisdell,   Clement A.; Wilson,   Clevo.
Arguments of most conservationists supporting ecotourism have been based upon the views that it is environmentally friendly as a resource-use and that receipts from it can counter demands to use the natural resources involved for more extractive economic purposes.  But wildlife-based ecotourism can also have positive impacts in itself on the willingness of tourists to pay for wildlife conservation, strengthen the pro-conservation attitudes of tourists and foster personal actions by them which contribute to wildlife conservation.  These aspects are explored in this article on the basis of a survey of tourists visiting Mon Repos Beach near Bundaberg, Queensland for the purpose of watching marine turtles.  The results enable several of the conservation...

Lamington National Park in Queensland, Australia is noted for its rainforest and is part of Australia’s fourteen World Heritage listed properties but no systematic study has been done of the importance of birds to its visitors.  This study rectifies this situation.  It is based on data from survey forms handed to visitors at an important site in this park and completed by visitors following their visit.  This yielded 622 useable replies.  These enabled us to establish the comparative importance of birds as an attraction to this site. Furthermore, logit regression is used to analyze and to identify factors that increase the likelihood of a visitor saying that birds are an important attraction.  In addition, the relative importance to visitors of various...

Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Strategies In Italy. An Economic Assessment
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Carraro,   Carlo; Sgobbi,   Alessandra.
In this paper, the economic value of the impacts of climate change is assessed for different Italian economic sectors and regions. Sectoral and regional impacts are then aggregated to provide a macroeconomic estimate of variations in GDP induced by climate change in the next decades. Autonomous adaptation induced by changes in relative prices and in stocks of natural and economic resources is fully taken into account. The model also considers international trade effects. Results show that in Italy aggregate GDP losses induced by climate change are likely to be small. However, some economic sectors (e.g. tourism) and the alpine regions will suffer significant economic damages.

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tisdell,   Clement A.
It is suggested that valuing objects is a distinctive human trait. It is a prerequisite for rational behaviour. Factors that are likely to influence valuations, the difficulties of getting agreements about valuations and the limited perspective of economics as a basis for valuation are discussed generally. Attributes of Otago Peninsula that seem to be valuable and worth conserving are listed and discuss taking into account possible conflicts in getting maximum value from these attributes. Particular attention is given to the economic value of conserving wildlife species on the Otago Peninsula. It is estimated that as a result of the presence of these species and their use for tourism, expenditure of over $100 million annually is generated in the Dunedin...

THE ROLE OF RESORT PLANNING IN SUSTAINING TOURIST DESTINATION IMAGE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ozdemir,   Gocke.
The environmental quality is recognized to be an important factor while making decisions upon the destination to visit. The image of the resort will likely to be more realistic but also complex after the tourists’ visit. The complex image of the resort, where the tourist has about after visiting it, is crucial for creating loyalty and also word of mouth advertising. Therefore, if the tourists visiting the resort are to complain then the intermediaries will likely to reduce the tourism activities through that resort or the tourism activities will turn into a more hotel facility based activity. Resort planning is a continous process and defines the systemized and controlled development of the resort.  Resort planning can be implemented in an actual resort or...

Recreation, Tourism, and Rural Well-Being
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Reeder,   Richard J.; Brown,   Dennis M.
The promotion of recreation and tourism has been both praised and criticized as a rural development strategy. This study uses regression analysis to assess the effect of recreation and tourism development on socioeconomic conditions in rural recreation counties. The findings imply that recreation and tourism development contributes to rural well-being, increasing local employment, wage levels, and income, reducing poverty, and improving education and health. But recreation and tourism development is not without drawbacks, including higher housing costs. Local effects also vary significantly, depending on the type of recreation area.

Outbound Business Travel Depends on Business Returns: Australian Evidence
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Collins,   Darrian; Tisdell,   Clement A.
In an earlier note, Collins and Tisdell (2002b) explored the possibility of a long-run relationship between Australian business returns and international business travel. Using annual data they found that such a relationship exists. The purpose of this study is to further examine this relationship using quarterly data for the time frame 1974:1 to 1999:4. In addition, previous studies on international business travel have offered some but not strong evidence for the existence of a positive relationship between the level of international business travel and real GDP of the origin country. This study suggests that the aggregate return on business investments is a superior predictor of international business travel than GDP. The Engle-Granger and Johansen’s...

This paper deals with the relationship between international trade and tourism. We focus on the effect that German tourism to Spain has on German imports of Spanish wine. Due to the different properties of the series under analysis, which display different orders of integration, a long memory regression model is used, where tourism is supposed to be exogenous. The period covered is January 1998 to November 2004. The results show that tourism has an effect on wine imports that lasts between two and nine months, depending on the type of tourism series employed. Disaggregating the imports across the different types of wine it is observed that only for quality red wines from Navarra, Penedús and Valdepeñas, and to a certain extent for sparkling wine, tourism...

The possibilities of rural development and the potential role of hunting tourism in rural development
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Marselek,   Sandor; Fabian,   Gyula.
Rural development is of great significance for the future of both the EU and Hungary. We must reduce migration, create new jobs and focus on sustainability and the principles and goals of environmental protection and nature conservation. For this reason, it is necessary to apply for EU project funding. EU priorities regarding rural development serve the creation of a ‘liveable countryside’. Rural development is connected to tourism that can help compensate for decreasing income from agriculture. Services related to hunting could achieve a significant role in the development of tourism as they can be harmonised with rural development and with rural and ecotourism. Hunting tourism and game management can be connected to several rural development goals, so it...

Farm-based recreation provides an important niche market for farmers, but limited empirical information is available on the topic. Access to two USDA databases, the 2004 Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) and the 2000 National Survey on Recreation and the Environment, provided researchers with a deeper understanding of who operates farm-based recreation enterprises, such as hunting and fishing operations, horseback riding businesses, on-farm rodeos, and petting zoos. Regression analysis identified the importance of various farmer and farm characteristics, as well as local and regional factors associated with farmer operation of, and income derived from, farm-based recreation.

This paper analyzes the links between agriculture and tourism. A contingent valuation study assesses tourist's willingness to pay (WTP) for agro-tourism and agriculture's positive environmental services and related positive externalities. The paper analyzes factors influencing tourist preferences in the Dominican Republic (DR) -- tourist income, the local tourist destination, sex, and nationality stand out among these factors. Estimates are given for different WTP scenarios according to farming systems. The study argues that a well developed agro-tourism industry would result in a market mechanism generating additional income of US $251 to US $364 million annually. Agro-tourist activities would have the added benefit of promoting sustainable agricultural...

World Heritage Listing of Australian Natural Sites: Tourism Stimulus and its Economic Value
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tisdell,   Clement A.; Wilson,   Clevo.
Australia has 14 areas inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list, on the basis of their globally outstanding natural and in some cases also cultural values. Many regard listing as prestigious and believe that it acts as a signalling device like a brand name. But to what extent and in what ways does the extra prestige bestowed by this listing translate into increased economic value for listed properties? This article deals with two main aspects of World Heritage listing. First, examines the hypothesis that World Heritage listing increases tourist visitation numbers, and available international visitor time-series data are examined to provide empirical evidence. It is found that although visitor numbers are likely to increase as a result of World Heritage...

In this paper, we review the tourism impact from supported tourism events and measure their economic value to the local economy.  The economic values are the result of visitor spending and extrapolated to total event attendance creates economic values from the state-supported event.  Communities receiving funding were responsible for collecting visitor surveys to measure consumer spending as well as the community completing a survey to record the investment cost of the event.  The results were that state support represented 14 percent of the total event investment and total event value from visitor spending was $7.8 million for 31 events.  The state percent share in value represents $1.1 million and considering the program-expended funds of $147,276 there...

The Cretan tourism sector has been characterised by a large and rapid growth from 1970 to 2000 and has gone on the primary industry of the island. Despite the fact that this growth has seemed stagnant over the last few years, tourism is still of vital importance for the local economy. Agricultural industries are strongly linked with tourism activities and usually derive numerous benefits from them. Understanding tourists’ opinions and demands plays a crucial role in implementing appropriate and sustainable future agricultural offer strategies on the island in the future. As several studies have previously indicated, the current global economic and financial crisis has deeply cut household expenditure and 2009 has been predicted to be a difficult year for...

Abstract: The aim of this study is to analyze the invigorating effect of the Way of St. James in the Galician rural areas. To do so, we have chosen as a territorial scope the 14 rural municipalities that the “French Way” crosses in this Autonomous Community. The utilized data come from the Bank of Municipal Data of Instituto Galego de Estatística (IGE). A double approximation on the impact of this route has been made: on one hand, we analyze the behavior of different socioeconomic variables during the last two decades in the selected municipalities. On the other hand, we examine to what extent a more favorable dynamic has been witnessed in similar rural territories that do not have access to this product. Although the results of the analysis should be...

The Emas waterfall in Mogi-Guaçu River is regionally recognized as an important fishing spot and touristic place. The first reports of the professional and sport fishing there date back from the 30's, which is the same period when the tourism took place. The present paper provides an environmental valuation of this place and an assessment of the differences among the major groups of people using the area. During 2006 we interviewed 33 professional fishers, 107 sport fishers, 45 tourists and 103 excursionists in order to estimate the Willingness to Pay (WTP) for each category and to analyze the influence of socioeconomic factors by means of logistic regressions and ANCOVAs. The WTP of professional fisher was significantly influenced by age and education,...

Abstract Beekeeping, which involves honey production and pollination of agricultural crops, has become a significant production activity. Linking beekeeping with ecotourism brings greater value to the beekeeping sector, thereby attracting the development of apitourism. Multi-criteria decision analysis is a set of techniques developed through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) focused on spatial decision making, which can be used to link beekeeping and tourism for the development of priority sites for shared activity. This work is based on the definition and weighting of factors used for evaluation of apitourism suitability in Chile, considering the opinion of beekeepers and professionals associated with the sector. The result is a map of apitouristic...
