Revitalizing fieldtrips in tourism
Critical success factors for public housing projects in developing countries
New interests of urban heritage and tourism research in Chinese cities
Towns and cities have been one of the key areas where Chinese civilization is embodied. China has a history of urban development reaching back over 5000 years. However, cities in China in the past century are also places which have experienced modernization and rapid progress. As a result, the conservation and reuse of the built heritage in China’s cities confronts great challenges. This paper stresses these challenges as well as a few other inst…
Organic ‘folkloric’ community driven place-making and tourism
The heritage of Chinese cities as seen through the gaze of zhonghua wenhua – ‘Chinese common knowledge’
The pursuit of modernization in cities all over China has at one level resulted in the disappearance of much built heritage; yet at another level, millennia-old elements of urban traditions are as visibly present in contemporary cities as they were centuries ago. This visibility, however, is not always apparent to non-Chinese observers. To reach an understanding of this phenomenon, it is suggested that the normative ‘western’ approach to heritage…
Post-colonial heritage, post-colonial tourism
The Political Economy of Tourism Development in the Greater Mekong Sub-region
Examining and assessing tourism policy formulation, tourism planning and implementation of tourism development in the countries of the Greater Mekong Sub-region highlights the interface between theory and praxis with attendant tensions that often produce dissonance rather than harmony. There are two over-arching fields with which a practitioner of tourism development must be familiar: the political/governance arena and the socio-cultural system a…
Harnessing Tourism as a Means of Poverty Alleviation
Scarcely considered before the turn of the century, the concept of pro-poor tourism, or harnessing tourism as a means of poverty alleviation, is now familiar and widespread on the global development agenda. The hypothesis that one of the world's largest sectors—tourism—can share in the responsibility of resolving one of the world's greatest challenges—poverty—is extolled under varying banners. Yet, what do we understand of the notion that is pro-…
Outside the Net
The Information and Communications Technologies of the last three decades have revolutionized the way in which societies and economies interact on both a global and a domestic scale, with concomitant impacts on the ways in which business is conducted and people and communities interact. A series of studies undertaken by the World Bank from 1997 to the present suggests that those countries which do not take up to the fullest possible extent the te…
Border Tourism and Border Communities
In examining border tourism and border communities this paper employs a political science definition that demarcates the external limits of a nation state and its exercise of sovereignty. Other types of borders and boundaries, such as those of a national park or cultural heritage reserve, that exist within a country, are referred to only in passing. The way in which advances in the technologies of mobility and modes of transport have influenced t…
Australian Aboriginal Ecotourism in the Wet Tropics Rainforest of Queensland, Australia
The United Nations, which designated 1993 as the International Year for the Indigenous Peoples of the World, identified indigenous peoples as “minorities and tribal populations with special problems related in particular to discrimination and deprivation of basic human rights, and with special needs concerning education, health, economic development, and the environment” (United Nations General Assembly resolution 46/128 of 17 December 1991). The…
