Social carrying capacity of oyster mariculture on coast of South Carolina
The historical structuring of the U.S. tourism workforce
Although tourism jobs have been acknowledged as being low-wage, low-quality, and at times even dangerous, investigations have yet to look at the historical development of such characteristics. Using the concepts of invisible work and strategic alterity, this article offers a critical historical analysis of the ideas and institutions that have shaped the tourism workforce in the U.S. since the late 19th century. The examples provided here focus on…
Situational analysis as a critical methodology
Tourism development in the United States and globally is deeply rooted in hypercapitalist strategies and influenced by neoliberal conditions which prioritize economic development often to the detriment of those living and working in tourism destinations. The tourism workforce is a major entity sustaining the day to day operations of the tourism system, yet it remains underexplored. The COVID-19 global pandemic has only strengthened the argument f…

The influence of mindfulness during the travel anticipation phase
Previous studies have established the influence of mindfulness on the tourists’ experience when they are on-site at an attraction or in a destination. However, the travel experience begins during the anticipation phase when tourists embark on the vacation planning process. This study considered the influence that mindfulness during the travel anticipation phase has on the traveller’s confidence that they chose the best destination for the trip, t…
Intimations of Modernity
In Intimations of Modernity, Louis A. Pérez Jr. has returned to the formation of Cuban identity during the nineteenth century. Over the last several years Pérez has written on many different facets that shaped Cuban consciousness, including US influence and hurricanes, as well as on how a growing sense of their own history molded Cubans' political culture. These recent works have addressed how Cubans differentiated themselves from Spaniards, whic…
Giving voice to heritage tourists
The tourist experience should be placed at the heart of management and planning process to achieve the goal of sustainable heritage tourism. The concept of indicators and standards of quality, which emerged in the field of natural resources and outdoor recreation management as a conceptual framework for understanding visitors’ experiences, has been widely applied in nature-based parks rather than cultural heritage sites. This study applies the co…
Examining the efficacy of self-classification approach in segmenting special-interest tourists
Self-classification is used as an a priori approach to tourist typology and market segmentation. However, skepticism still surrounds its ability to incorporate the multidimensionality of tourist behavior. This study seeks to empirically verify the efficacy of a single-item self-classification approach. The robustness of this self-classification measure is examined by comparing it to a data-driven multidimensional psychographic approach in terms o…

Homecoming or tourism? Diaspora tourism experience of second-generation immigrants
Diaspora tourism is often considered a form of ‘homecoming,’ but for the children of immigrants who are born in the new country, the question remains as to whether they perceive their parents’ homeland as ‘home’ or destination. Moreover, advancements in transportation and communication technologies allow contemporary immigrants to maintain transnational ties to their homeland, which in turn may affect the nature of diaspora tourism. The purpose o…
Crowding standards at Petra Archaeological Park
To achieve sustainability in heritage tourism, tourists should be placed at the heart of the management and planning processes. Indicators and standards-based frameworks were developed in the field of outdoor recreation management to manage and measure crowding and other problematic issues in parks and related areas. Using normative theory and visual research methods, this article aims to examine crowding standards of tourists at Petra Archaeolog…
Transnational Leisure Experience of Second-Generation Immigrants
Technological advancements have enabled contemporary immigrants to live in two worlds and maintain virtual and physical contact with their country of origin through leisure and tourism. While the transnational practices of first-generation immigrants have been well established, the extent of transnational leisure in the native-born second generation has not been explored. The purpose of this study is to examine the transnational practices of seco…
Developing a conceptual framework to understand local residents' contribution in online travel communities
Online travel communities have reshaped travel behaviours and decision-makings of people around the world. Noticeably, local residents, who are perceived as reliable and authentic information providers, largely contribute to these online travel communities by offering help. This study developed and tested a conceptual framework, which was built upon the attribute-empathy theory and the social identity theory. Hierarchical regressions analyses wer…
Serendipity and Independent Travel
The independent travel market is not homogeneous. As smartphones and mobile navigation devices became ubiquitous, independent travellers are now allowed to explore the destination without making detailed plans. The purpose of this study is to explore tourists' preferences for the level of structure vs serendipity in their travel experience, and investigate how different styles of independent travel relate to other tourist behaviour. Findings show…
The Great African Slave Revolt of 1825
Manuel Barcia has produced an important contribution to the study of slavery and slave resistance in Cuba with his engaging study of a crucial 1825 revolt in Matanzas. Barcia sets out to establish the significance of the 1825 revolt, arguing that it was a turning point in slave rebellions in Cuba, an action distinct from previous incidents in that it was organized by Africans rather than collaborative groups that included slave and free, Africans…

GPS Tracking of Travel Routes of Wanderers and Planners
Some of the most basic but vital data on recreation and travel behavior at tourism destinations consists of the places people visit, their travel routes, and the amount of time spent at each location. Despite that travel patterns are a fundamental aspect of the tourism phenomenon, little attention has been given to spatial and temporal tourist behaviors. Furthermore, although tourist typologies have identified some differences in visitor behavior…
Measuring Residents’ Emotional Solidarity with Tourists
While it can prove easy to conceptualize of the relationship between residents and tourists as “us versus them,” it devalues the potential for intimate relationships to exist, whereby residents and tourists have many things in common. The theory of emotional solidarity can aid in explaining such an intimate relationship. Developing the framework from previous qualitative work, the purpose of this study is to formulate and validate scales correspo…
Exploring the Theoretical Framework of Emotional Solidarity between Residents and Tourists
Residents and tourists within destinations are often portrayed as being separate from each other, possessing little in common. Such an approach can undermine the potential for a dynamic, intimate relationship to exist between residents and tourists. This research offers the theory of emotional solidarity, put forth by Emile Durkheim, as a theoretical framework to examine the relationship between residents and tourists. In addition, a series of fo…
Having More by Doing Less
A considerable literature now documents the vast array of constraints that keep people from participating in or enjoying recreation and leisure activities. Consistently these factors have been regarded as negative and deserving of elimination, negotiation, or navigation. Recently, however, researchers have argued (in separate chapters in Jackson, 2005a) that constraints often exist in a beneficial relationship with leisure activity patterns and s…
Segmenting Anglers Using Their Consumptive Orientation Profiles
We examined the practical utility of segmenting visitors to a popular southeastern angling destination using their consumptive orientation profiles. Our analysis identified four segments that varied in terms of their consumptive orientation: Lots ‘o Fish who were most concerned about catching many fish; Bigguns who expressed the strongest preference for catching big fish; Nothin’ who indicated that catching no fish was okay; and Keepers who expre…
A Modified Involvement Scale
This investigation examines the psychometric properties of a modified involvement scale (MIS) using recreationists sampled at a national forest in upstate South Carolina and consumers enquiring about angling opportunities in the Low Country of South Carolina. Following the testing of several model configurations, support for a conceptualization of enduring involvement was observed consisting of five correlated facets: attraction, centrality, soci…
The Process of Cultural Change Among Cuban Bozales During the Nineteenth Century
On again reaching Matanzas, I ascertained that a slave-ship had just entered the port from the African coast, with 250 slaves on board. ... On preceding to the quarter where these wretched beings were confined, I found them all huddled together in a large room, in which they were all exposed to sale like some drove of pigs, in a complete state of nudity, with the exception of a bandage tied round their loins. They ... were seated on the floor in …

Analysis of Golfer Motivations and Constraints by Experience Use History
With an increasing competition for attracting golfers to individual sites, it is becoming more important for managers to identify the variables which attract and retain their golfing clientele. The segmentation of golfers into homogeneous markets allows for the comparison of consumer variables by groups and can assist management in formulating consumer-oriented marketing strategies. The current study utilized experience use history (EUH) to creat…
