Tourism in South-East Asia
Regional resonances
Cẩm Thanh Fisherman: ‘There are still fishermen who are helped by the whale, rescued at sea. Something like this happened here around two months ago. There was a big boat, like a fishing boat, that was carrying 35 soldiers from the Cham Islands to their homes. But, that day the weather was not good, and when the boat was still in the ocean, one of the soldiers - he didn’t live on the island; he lived on the mainland, so he never thought about the…
Whale Worship and Tourism Development in the Hồi An–DaNang Corridor, Việt Nam
This paper uses a case study of the Hồi An–Da Nang corridor inQuảng Nam province, Việt Nam, to examine some of the pressuresthat whale worship – a traditional cultural practice of coastal fishingcommunities in central and southern Việt Nam – has faced since the̶Dồi reforms of 1986.

World Heritage Sites and Domestic Tourism in Thailand
This study examines some of the tensions inherent in the mobilization of UNESCO World Heritage Sites for tourism in Thailand, set against the imperatives of conservation management. The authors look at two cultural sites (the Historic City of Ayutthaya and the Historic Town of Sukhothai) and one natural site (the Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex). They focus particularly on domestic tourism emanating from the urban middle class in Thailand, …

Neolocalism and Renascent Social Capital in Northeast Thailand
This paper presents a case study of neolocalist revivalism in a small cluster of communities in northeast Thailand, and uses this to support the notion of latent and renascent social capital. The case shows how communities have sought to confront some of the pernicious social, economic, and environmental effects of relentless modernisation and development by reviving a variety of social institutions and associational practices that underpinned so…
Crowding out and clawing back
The 'crowding out hypothesis' (e.g., Cox and Jimenez, 1993; Roberts, 1984; Warr, 1983) contends that state-driven efforts to strengthen social safety nets may have the effect of displacing or duplicating established private mechanisms and institutions that operate at the local level to help people cope with periodic shocks, stresses and challenges. In such circumstances state support may be both inefficient, if it replicates systems that are alre…

Consulting the poor in Thailand
This paper aims to set the World Bank’s recent ‘Consultations with the Poor’ (CWP) exercise within the context of the broadening of definitions of poverty and ill-being and the current predilection for participatory research. The CWP exercise was intended to provide a nuanced understanding of poverty, and is supposed to reflect a fresh approach by the World Bank and other international agencies to the identification and rectification of the probl…

Tourism, Globalisation and Critical Security in Myanmar and Thailand
This paper seeks to articulate recent debates on globalisation and critical security with the process and local impact of international tourism development in Thailand and Myanmar (Burma). It argues that, although tourism is an important manifestation of the globalisation phenomenon, its impact on host societies is very much dependent upon the influence of local institutions and actors. Hence, the enquiry will focus principally upon the “global‐l…
Environmental Change in Southeast Asia
Environmental Change in South-East Asia brings together scholars, journalists, consultants and NGO activists to explore the interaction of people, politics and ecology. Ostensibly green activities - plantation forestry, eco-tourism, hydro-electricity - are revealed as guises used by elites to promote their own political and economic interests. Highlighting fatal flaws in presently exclusive economic and ecological approaches, the authors stress t…
