The Arts and Events
Cultural heritage and contemporary arts benefit from being showcased in events. Arts-related events are each unique in reflecting local culture; they may be therefore spontaneous (street art and so on) or planned (i.e. studio tours or arts festivals). The Arts and Events explores the nature and complexity of managing arts events and fills a significant gap in the available literature. It investigates the history, development and management of art…
Confucius Institutes: Multiple Reactions and Interactions
The rapid establishment of Confucius Institutes all over the world has raised a question of doubt about the motivation of China. From the perspective of China, the institutes can help to promote Chinese language and culture, and project a positive image of China as a benign country. However, other countries may wonder how far China would like to exert its soft power and cultural influence on the rest of the world. This article aims to examine mul…

The search for World Heritage brand awareness beyond the iconic heritage: A case study of the Historic Centre of Macao
The Historic Centre of Macao was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site (WHS) in 2005. The question arises regarding the value of the designation ‘WHS’ and what it means to tourists who visit. The researchers used intercept surveys and participant observation to determine brand awareness among visitors. Regardless of how much the tourism industry and UNESCO promote the ‘brand’, if visitors are unaware of it and do not respond, the economic and cul…

Projecting Post-colonial Conditions at Shanghai Expo 2010, China: Floppy Ears, Lofty Dreams and Macao’s Immutable Mobiles
Recent years have seen increased academic attention in urban studies on the flows of city artefacts and images. Conceptualised as ‘immutable mobiles’, the Macao Pavilion and its associated objects on show at Shanghai Expo 2010 are examined for the ways they encouraged and regulated uniformed flows of people and city images. Specifically, these immutable mobiles projected Macao’s lofty dreams of paradoxical affinity to and difference from mainland…
Bundling the arts for tourism to complement urban heritage tourist experiences in Asia
City administrations in Asia frequently try to establish or design architecturally grand art hubs or precincts to make a statement about the international status and appeal of their cities. Meanwhile, many of the tourists whom they are hoping to attract continue to visit organically or spontaneously developed art clusters in various heritage settings where they can sample a city's distinct cultural identity and artistic expression. This niche tou…
Emerging Issues for Cultural Tourism in Macau
Recent research on achieving sustainable heritage tourism in Macau advocates a greater collaboration between tourism and heritage management authorities and the local community on reaching sustainable tourism goals. A key theme for Macau in the last ten years has been how the tension between the proponents for greater casino development versus those for cultural heritage product development has played out in government policies for heritage manag…
A Comparison of International Travel Between an Emerging and a Mature Source Market
Little research has been published on the evolution of markets, but markets, like destinations, should evolve over time. A market's collective travel behavior should change as residents become more experienced international tourists. Market evolution may be triggered by rapid economic development. As Tourists become more experienced, their destination choice, travel patterns and package tour propensity should change. This paper compares the inter…
Too Much of a Good Thing? Visitor Congestion Management Issues for Popular World Heritage Tourist Attractions
World Heritage Sites (WHS) are often popular and primary attractions for a destination for many reasons, in particular the economic benefits they bring in terms of increased visitation and extension of stay. However, without active management to reduce negative impacts, such as congestion, both tourists and the host community can become caught up in a downward spiral of poor visitor experiences and degradation of World Heritage values. Accordingl…

Testing a cultural tourism typology
This paper tests further a cultural tourism typology based on the interface between centrality of cultural tourism as a trip motive and the depth of experience. Five types of cultural tourist are identified that represent five benefit‐based segments. The segments are tested against a variety of trip, demographic, motivational, preferred activity, awareness, cultural distance and activity variables. Significant differences are noted between the gr…

Burrill Lake Rockshelter: An early use of a research design in Australian prehistory
Burrill Lake rockshelter, located near Ulladulla on the south coast of New South Wales, was first excavated by the Anthropological Society of New South Wales in 1931. This investigation has been disregarded in archaeological histories in favour of the more systematically excavated sites of Devon Downs (1929) and Lapstone Creek (1936) (Mulvaney 1958, 1961, 1975, 1980; Murray and White 1981; White and O'Connell 1982:22-8). Burrill Lake is better kn…
