Air transport and tourism flows to islands
Air transport is an essential component of the tourism industry, and the number, frequency, and capacity of flight connections may influence the level of tourism demand, especially for island destinations. This paper evaluates the influence of air transport on tourism arrivals to selected islands in seven southern European Union countries to determine the nature of the relationship between tourist arrivals and air transport, specifically, whether…
Vivienda colaborativa y Economía Social
Problems of oversize, degradation of neighborhoods in large cities and high housing costs, the demographic challenge of increasingly aging societies and loneliness, or the new readings and social approaches marked by sustainability, the value of use versus property, the collaborative economy, active aging, communality, collaborative consumption, open the way to the aspirations and needs of people and groups that propose a refocus on the concept o…
Gestión turística ¿asignatura pendiente
Se habla mucho de la gestión turístico mas se ejerce poco. Se utiliza el modelo TALC (Butler 1980) como gran angular para explorar algunos de los temas problemáticos enfrentados por la mayoría de los destinos turísticos en la actualidad (pre-COVID). Se centra en algunos aspectos básicos del modelo TALC como son la capacidad de carga y otras fuerzas endógenas o externas desencadenantes de cambios determinantes en los destinos turísticos. Se argume…
Managing Tourism - A Missing Element
The paper argues that despite the widespread use of the term management in the context of tourism destinations, there is little actual management of tourism or tourists in most destinations. The paper uses the Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC) model (Butler 1980) as a lens through which to view some current issues and problems facing tourism destinations. It explores some of the basic elements of the TALC model including carrying capacity and trigge…
Niche tourism (birdwatching) and its impacts on the well-being of a remote island and its residents
Birdwatching has been the predominant form of tourism on Fair Isle, the most remote of the inhabited British islands, since tourism began there in 1905. The paper discusses the impact of slowly increasing tourist numbers on the well-being of the island residents, using data collected in two surveys of the resident population 50 years apart. The information obtained allows a longitudinal examination of the impact of tourism on the well-being of is…

Thoughts of a lapsed (?) geographer
Thoughts on core–periphery and small island tourism
It is difficult to write a post-publication piece about a paper without falling into the trap of conducting a post-publication review of the paper, an action which could be construed as unfair and inappropriate, given the fact that the paper in question has already been reviewed, revised (presumably) and found acceptable for publication by anonymous reviewers and the journal editor. However, a few papers, and particularly those which deal with co…
Changing politics, economics and relations on the small remote island of Fair Isle
The paper interprets changes which have taken place on Fair Isle, a small remote Scottish island, over the last half century, with a focus on how the interplay of external forces and local adjustments have produced a positive working relationship between local residents, visitors and those in authority over the island. The paper discusses the changes in the island’s governance and economy that the island residents have experienced and how life on…

Treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders constitute the majority of patients seeking healthcare for gastrointestinal symptoms in primary and secondary care. Of these disorders irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common and affects 10-20% in the Western world. IBS is a functional bowel disorder characterized by chronic abdominal pain, discomfort, bloating, and alteration of bowel habits in the absence of any detectable org…
One Man and his Boat (and Hotel and Pier …)
Tourist resorts share many common elements of their morphology despite being established in different centuries and on different continents. In addition, many owe their initial development to the entrepreneurial activities of individuals who are rarely recognized in the tourism literature. This paper examines the founding and initial development of the Australian resort of Manly, now a suburb of Sydney, and the role in that establishment of a key…
Complexity in tourism policies
The Use of Cognitive Mapping in Analysing Sustainable Tourism Policy
There is a growing body of literature arguing for the need to examine sustainable tourism and policies for sustainable tourism within complexity theory. Methods which are particularly developed to study complex problems are needed in order to move from conceptualization and theory to understanding and operationalization of the complexity underpinning policies for sustainable tourism. This paper discusses the development of a cognitive mapping met…

Tourism Destination Development
The Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC) has had a relatively long life and has been applied in many situations but also has been criticized for not being capable of explaining the reasons behind the process of development being discussed. One form of analysis which has particular relevance to the TALC in this context is Force Field Analysis (FFA), an approach, like the original Product Life Cycle model, adopted from the business literature. The paper …

The Influence of the Media in Shaping International Tourist Patterns
Motivational research has suggested that the source of data about destinations may influence the desire of tourists to visit those destinations. "The medium is the message" according to McLuhan. In examining the nature and development of tourist destinations it is clear that a variety of media sources have shaped the information about and images of those destinations. The paper examines, by way of general discussion and the use of specific exampl…

West Edmonton Mall as a Tourist Attraction
Recent years have seen the mega‐phenomenon assume increasing significance in tourism; it is not surprising, therefore, that West Edmonton Mall, the world's first mega‐mall, should be viewed as a tourist attraction. This article discusses the role of shopping as a tourist activity and the opportunity to shop as a facet of the appeal of a location to tourists. It examines the relative attractiveness of West Edmonton Mall as a tourist destination in…
Conceptual and theoretical implications of tourism between partitioned states
Recent history regarding the partition or separation of single states is not new. The ramifications caused by these divisions are numerous. All too often, the problems associated with crossing the "new" border, visiting family and friends separated by the newly imposed border, or trying to establish or re‐establish business ties with past acquaintances are overlooked. Once a country is partitioned, there are several levels or stages which the new…

Tourism and the environment
The paper reviews key elements of the relationship between tourism and the environment, with particular reference to the environmental impacts of tourism from a geographical perspective. Following a discussion of the appeal of the environment for tourism, the paper examines the way in which tourism brings about changes in destination areas. The point is made that disproportionate attention has been given to research on recreation and its relation…

International safeguarding as institutionalized collective behavior
International safeguards” refer to a set of international agreements establishing control over the production, use, and final disposition of fissionable materials. Before the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) went into effect, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards had been applied to 75 reactors and ten other nuclear facilities under 51 different agreements. The design of the first regime was largely a function of political, strategic…

A Worldwide Analysis of AG Molecular Diversity Inferred from Serology
Ten population samples from different geographic origins were tested serologically for the AG polymorphism of human beta-lipoproteins. Their haplotype frequencies were used with previously published data to perform a wide analysis of AG genetic differentiations throughout the world. Coancestry coefficients were computed from weighted F(ST)s among populations by using a matrix of molecular distances among AG haplotypes, which is here determined on…

Recreational behavior of onshore and offshore oil industry employees in Newfoundland, Canada
This paper discusses the results of surveys of oil industry employees in Newfoundland, Canada, working both onshore and offshore on rigs and supply boats. The surveys reveal the different recreational behavior of respondents compared to local residents, and the unique and restricted environments in which they live and work while offshore. The analysis covers the leisure time activities both offshore and onshore, and the effects of the relocation …
Timesharing
One of the major innovations in the last decade and a half in the recreation field has been the appearance of time-sharing developments, in which individuals purchase one or more weeks vacation time, normally at purpose built condominiums. In the last few years this development has been marketed in Canada, particularly in Ontario, Quebec and Alberta. Research to date has been minimal on this topic, despite considerable environmental, social and e…

Study of five haemogenetic markers (Gc, C3, Bf, Ag, and Galt) in six Indonesian populations and in 12 subgroups of Balinese
In various ethnic groups of the Indonesian archipelago and of Bali, the polymorphisms of the serum proteins Gc globulin (vitamin D‐binding protein), C3 (complement component 3), Bf (complement factor B), Ag x,y (lipo‐protein allotypes), and of the red cell enzyme system GALT (galactose‐1P‐uri‐dyltransferase) were analysed. Among the studied proteins, the Gc system was the most informative one for the anthropologist. Besides considerable differenc…

Sustainable tourism
The topic of sustainable tourism has emerged in the last decade as a result of discussions from the report Our Common Future. This paper reviews the development of the term, beginning with a discussion of the confusion arising from the imprecise and conflicting definitions of the concept, and the need to distinguish between sustainable tourism and the development of tourism on the principles of sustainable development. The paper then reviews the …
