Exploring the benefits of outdoor activity participation in national parks
This study aims to explore the role that regular outdoor activity participation in national parks plays in subjective wellbeing (SWB). It also considers the influences on SWB, including the national park environment, resilience-building, coping skills, mental health and stress alleviation. There is a wealth of research on the benefits of outdoor recreation in natural settings, yet studies which specifically examine the impacts of regular activity…
Cinema as Cultural Diplomacy and the Cold War
During the Cold War, international film festivals proliferated on both sides of the Iron Curtain. The United States and the Soviet Union recognized these festivals as important venues for “cinematic diplomacy” and the pursuit of broader foreign policy goals. This article explores how the U.S. government, together with the U.S. motion picture industry, made use of its participation in the Moscow and Karlovy Vary International Film Festivals in the…
Disaster recovery responses of transnational tour operators to the Indian Ocean tsunami
This article examines how transnational operators respond to crisis management and disaster recovery. An adapted model of Faulkner and Vikulov's (2001) six‐stage framework was applied to Australian‐based tour operators, in the context of how they responded to the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. The findings suggest that the tour operators coped well through having reactionary crisis management responses; however, insights into the impacts their decisi…
‘Is he going to be sleazy?’ Women’s experiences of emotional labour connected to sexual harassment in the spa tourism industry
Despite the popularity of spa tourism worldwide and the size of the labour force, there is a paucity of research about these employees. The casual, often low paid, workforce is largely comprised of women, and there are challenges associated with body work – touching another person’s naked body in intimate settings – and its association with “dirty work” in a moral sense. The potential for experiencing sexual harassment from clients and the emotio…
Exploring prosocial and environmental motivations of frontier tourists
While there are plans for spacecraft to take private travellers to the edge of space, we are yet to see this occur beyond a few individuals. Before this happens in larger numbers, research is needed about the sustainability of private space flight, including potential travellers’ awareness of and views about the environmental implications of their spaceflight. This article aims to address this gap by examining the travel motivations of frontier t…
Building resilient local tourism systems
Using a framework based on seven principles that build resilience in socio ecological systems, this paper explores how two prominent cycle tourism attractions in New Zealand have been able to adapt to exogenous and endogenous change over several decades. The findings, based on interviews with actors involved in management and governance roles, identifies five factors that have contributed to the resilience demonstrated by these exemplar cases and…
Ten markers of quality in designing and publishing qualitative tourism research
The use of qualitative research methodologies in tourism is growing; however there are concerns over the quality and rigour of some studies and the way they have been written up and justified to audiences. This research note presents ten common problems with qualitative research that the authors have encountered while reviewing journal articles and examining theses, with the aim of stimulating discussion as to what constitutes good qualitative re…

Exploring how entrepreneurial actors shape tourism development
An increasing body of research highlights the pivotal role that private entrepreneurs play in driving tourism development. This paper adopts a broader perspective of entrepreneurship, which suggests that entrepreneurial actors are not necessarily defined by business ownership, but by their ability to recognise opportunities and create, organise and implement new ventures that generate value. To explore this broader perspective of entrepreneurship…

Exploring the contribution of public art to the tourist experience in Istanbul, Ravenna and New York
The appeal of art within the tourist experience is often associated with works of art in galleries and museums. The attraction of art, including architecture, which is found in urban public spaces, such as parks, churches and squares and is largely not interpreted for visitors, receives less attention, despite its ubiquitousness in cities around the world. This article explores the role of public art in the tourist experience using comparative ca…
Assessing the experiential value of heritage assets
Fictional media and imagining escape to rural villages
There is a recent trend for the rebranding of small rural towns as ‘villages’ offering a quaint ambience and a range of leisure opportunities for visitors. This represents a dramatic reversal of images of villages as stagnating and insular. The branding of rural towns as villages is often reinforced by comprehensive marketing campaigns and physical works, such as cobble-stoned surfaces, new uses for old buildings, new structures disguised as old,…
From Yellowstone to Australia and New Zealand
Following the establishment of the world's first national park at Yellowstone (USA) in 1872, the concept was rapidly transferred to Australia, New Zealand and Canada. This article examines this second wave of adoption – and adaption – focussing on five case studies from Australia and New Zealand. While Yellowstone provided the inspiration for further national parks and protected areas, what was developed was often very different from the American…

Popular Culture as a Different Type of Heritage
Cities are increasingly looking to their popular culture connections to contribute to an attractive destination image. In promoting their popular culture, cities are constructing a different view of their heritage. In Melbourne, Australia, AC DC Lane has been created to commemorate the popular hard rock band. In examining the process of its creation, this paper focuses on two issues. First, the debate over its creation illustrates the expectation…

Making an Edgier Interpretation of the Gold Rushes
This article examines the interaction between changing interpretations of history and visitor interpretation provided at heritage tourist sites. Generally, the literature distinguishes between history (which is seen as objective and fixed) and heritage interpretation (which is characterised as biased, selective and serving parochial interests). It is argued that history is actually far more dynamic and subjective and that this requires an ongoing…
Farmers, government, and the environment
Historical studies of Australian agriculture have tended to concentrate on the difficulties of farming in a dry environment. The extension of farming into high‐rainfall, densely forested regions (what I term the wet frontierc ) has been almost completely overlooked. This article is an attempt to redress this imbalance. It concentrates on the settlement of the wet frontier between 1870 and 1920. Up to about 1890 settlement was slow and often unsuc…
The Environmental Impacts of the V ictorian G old R ushes
Research into the environmental impacts of gold rushes has tended to be limited, with only a small number of broad descriptive studies. This article provides a new approach in three ways. First, it is confined to a specific small time period – the initial five years – rather than trying to cover all aspects of a long period. Second, it analyses the environmental impacts in terms of the activities undertaken by the miners. A focus on activities wa…

Heritage tourism on Australia's Asian shore
This paper examines presentations of Australia's non-European history at heritage tourist attractions. It focuses on Pearl Luggers, a tourist attraction which presents the history of pearling (diving for pearls) in Broome, Western Australia. The experiences provided for visitors at Pearl Luggers contrast the dark side of the early history of pearling (high death rates, the forced labour of Aborigines, use of Asian indentured workers for dangerous…

Australia Unlimited? Environmental Debate in the Age of Catastrophe, 1910-1939
Between the First and Second World Wars, Australia was under significant social, political and economic pressures. It has been generally argued that these problems stifled environmental debate, encouraging governments to look to large-scale development schemes for solutions. In turn, the few critics of these schemes were ruthlessly attacked as not having the national interest at heart. This article contests this interpretation of the period. It a…
Tourism, Rainforests and Worthless Lands
Alfred Runte has argued that US national parks were only established where government regarded the lands as worthless for economic development. A number of writers have applied his theory to the origin of national parks in other regions of recent European settlement, particularly Australia. This article contests this explanation, through consideration of the establishment of national parks in the rainforests of Queensland. The declaration of thes…
European Farming, Australian Pests
Generally studies of European settlement in Australia have focused on exotic pests. Such an approach has tended to characterise Australian flora and fauna as weak and unable to cope with the environmental disruption resulting from the introduction of European farming. However, in this article, which considers the settlement of the high-rainfall forests of Eastern Australia, it is argued that the main pests were indigenous not exotic. In the cruci…

Migrants and Technological Transfer
Chinese farming in Australia between 1850 and 1920 has generally been given little attention, being usu ally characterised as just market gardening, but with little other detail about its development and characteristics. This article argues that Chinese farming was both complex and dynamic. Initially, Chinese farming was primarily casual labouring along European lines. However, from the 1880s onwards, Chinese farming became more specialised, focu…
Did they Really Hate Trees? Attitudes of Farmers, Tourists and Naturalists towards Nature in the Rainforests of Eastern Australia
Feelings of hatred, fear and alienation towards the Australian environment have been amongst the major themes of Australian history. Farmers especially have been characterised as hating trees, particularly in the densely treed, difficult to clear rainforests of eastern Australia. In contrast, in recent years there has been consideration of nineteenth and early twentieth century tourists, naturalists and artists taking delight in these same rainfo…

Hedda Hopper, Hollywood Gossip, and the Politics of Racial Representation in Film, 1946-1948
The article focuses on the career of American gossip columnist Hedda Hopper. She was known within the U.S. motion picture industry as deeply bigoted, but she eschewed virulent expressions of white racism in public. Throughout her career Hopper strongly endorsed films and film roles that maintained racial stereotyping, and she vigorously supported African American actors and actresses who tended to play these roles. The intertwining of politics an…
Villages, Vineyards, and Chinese Dragons
This article examines three Australian case studies of heritage tourism based on ethnic diasporas. These are: the German village of Hahndorf, the cluster of Italian-themed vineyards in the King Valley, and the Golden Dragon Chinese Precinct in Bendigo. It is argued that while the heritage tourism experiences constructed at these places are firmly based on ethnic diasporas, the primary market for them is the general (or incidental) heritage visito…
Niche Strategies for Small Regional Cities
Much of the focus of destination planning research to date has been on major cities, often with populations of one million or more. There is however a growing emphasis on planning for the sustainable development of cities outside the larger metropolitan hubs, with a view to attracting tourists and building liveable communities. The challenge for these regional places is to reinvent themselves and create new destination images, while maintaining a…
