Niche tourism (birdwatching) and its impacts on the well-being of a remote island and its residents
Birdwatching has been the predominant form of tourism on Fair Isle, the most remote of the inhabited British islands, since tourism began there in 1905. The paper discusses the impact of slowly increasing tourist numbers on the well-being of the island residents, using data collected in two surveys of the resident population 50 years apart. The information obtained allows a longitudinal examination of the impact of tourism on the well-being of is…

Tourism and resilience
This book discusses the concept of resilience and its application to tourism. It compares the relevance of resilience to sustainability; the former focusing on the well-being and survival of the places affected and the latter focusing on the agent of impact, tourism itself
Complexity in tourism policies
The Use of Cognitive Mapping in Analysing Sustainable Tourism Policy
There is a growing body of literature arguing for the need to examine sustainable tourism and policies for sustainable tourism within complexity theory. Methods which are particularly developed to study complex problems are needed in order to move from conceptualization and theory to understanding and operationalization of the complexity underpinning policies for sustainable tourism. This paper discusses the development of a cognitive mapping met…

The personal observations of a man of intelligence
Tourism Destination Development
The Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC) has had a relatively long life and has been applied in many situations but also has been criticized for not being capable of explaining the reasons behind the process of development being discussed. One form of analysis which has particular relevance to the TALC in this context is Force Field Analysis (FFA), an approach, like the original Product Life Cycle model, adopted from the business literature. The paper …

Tourism and the environment
The paper reviews key elements of the relationship between tourism and the environment, with particular reference to the environmental impacts of tourism from a geographical perspective. Following a discussion of the appeal of the environment for tourism, the paper examines the way in which tourism brings about changes in destination areas. The point is made that disproportionate attention has been given to research on recreation and its relation…

Sustainable tourism
The topic of sustainable tourism has emerged in the last decade as a result of discussions from the report Our Common Future. This paper reviews the development of the term, beginning with a discussion of the confusion arising from the imprecise and conflicting definitions of the concept, and the need to distinguish between sustainable tourism and the development of tourism on the principles of sustainable development. The paper then reviews the …
Conceptual and theoretical implications of tourism between partitioned states
Recent history regarding the partition or separation of single states is not new. The ramifications caused by these divisions are numerous. All too often, the problems associated with crossing the "new" border, visiting family and friends separated by the newly imposed border, or trying to establish or re‐establish business ties with past acquaintances are overlooked. Once a country is partitioned, there are several levels or stages which the new…

The Influence of the Media in Shaping International Tourist Patterns
Motivational research has suggested that the source of data about destinations may influence the desire of tourists to visit those destinations. "The medium is the message" according to McLuhan. In examining the nature and development of tourist destinations it is clear that a variety of media sources have shaped the information about and images of those destinations. The paper examines, by way of general discussion and the use of specific exampl…

International safeguarding as institutionalized collective behavior
International safeguards” refer to a set of international agreements establishing control over the production, use, and final disposition of fissionable materials. Before the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) went into effect, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards had been applied to 75 reactors and ten other nuclear facilities under 51 different agreements. The design of the first regime was largely a function of political, strategic…

Recreational behavior of onshore and offshore oil industry employees in Newfoundland, Canada
This paper discusses the results of surveys of oil industry employees in Newfoundland, Canada, working both onshore and offshore on rigs and supply boats. The surveys reveal the different recreational behavior of respondents compared to local residents, and the unique and restricted environments in which they live and work while offshore. The analysis covers the leisure time activities both offshore and onshore, and the effects of the relocation …
