Creating and Managing Experiences in Cultural Tourism
A key tool in creating a destination experience is the experience economy. This is even more true for cultural tourism experiences since culture's intrinsic values are inherently linked to experiences. The book Creating and Managing Experiences in Cultural Tourism aims to provide theoretical and practical background on the experience economy applied in sustainable cultural tourism. This entails a wide range of subjects addressing cultural heritag…
Travel guidebooks and the construction of tourist identity
Tourist identity is an important component of the postmodern identity. This review paper unveils the role of travel guidebooks as identity construction agents at a time when tourism has become an important postmodern phenomenon. The review offers a processual look at roles played by guidebooks in tourist information gathering and formation of cultural tastes and preferences, and portrays the influence of guidebooks on social change. The review po…
Between war and peace
The construction and evolutionary processes of conflict-heritage tourism sites in border areas in transition between war and peace can be understood through a comprehensive study of the functional, spatial, political and tourism processes along three border areas between Israel and its neighbors. Using a qualitative approach, conflict-heritage sites are shown to represent a relatively large component within the overall tourism supply in the studi…
A voyage from religiousness to secularity and back
Ultra-orthodox Jews (known as ‘Haredim’) in Israel are increasing their travel demands and their use of existing tourism infrastructure in Israel more than ever before. This exploratory study investigates the question of whether the travel behavior of this group is a reflection of religious tourism or, rather, the tourist behavior of a unique group of religious tourists. Data were collected through three focus groups and face-to-face interviews w…
Spiritual Hosting and Tourism
This paper contributes to an understanding of how spirituality and faith can shape the nature of the hosttourist encounter. Specifically, using the case of the New Zealand HIT (Hosting Israeli Travellers) network, this paper explores the phenomenon of ‘spiritual hosting’ and its influence on the host-guest interaction. By applying assumptions based on the ‘Value-Stretch Model’ and analysis of in-depth interviews, the paper characterizes the natur…

Evaluating the Socio‐cultural Carrying Capacity of Rural Tourism Communities
Using the carrying capacity value stretch (CCVS) model incorporated into nominal group technique (NGT) methodology, this paper investigated a rural community's determinants of socio‐cultural carrying capacity perceptions in the wake of rural tourism development. The case of Kibbutz Yiron in Northern Israel was used to detect the tourism impacts, to evaluate to what extent rural tourism in this community is violating its limits for acceptable chan…
The reflection of a political conflict in mapping
This article deals with the mapping of borders and frontiers in conflict regions, focusing on the disputed borders of Israel. The study constitutes part of a broader research project on the meaning
Safety and Security in Tourism
Mapping of the Holy Land
One hundred and one current maps of Israel were analysed for their modern mapping religious ele‐ments in respect of the Holy Land. The main issues of the study are which religious elements appear and their form of representation in the range of maps; the impressions that can be derived from the different maps; and the narratives that can be construed from this representation. The research methods applied were hermeneutics and semiotics. Narrative…
Globalization and the Role of Educational Travel to Israel in the Ethnification of American Jews
The globalization of contemporary life has been observed as having the twin consequences of, on the one hand, the homogenization of different cultures, while, on the other it brings out the commonality of all cultures relativization due to the heightened contact between them. Globalization also generates a renewed ethnicity as a response to cultural homogenization. This study will present, through comparative longitudinal analysis, the changes in…
Transportation accessibility to and within tourist attractions in the Old City of Jerusalem
Using the case of the Old City of Jerusalem, this study investigates the interrelations between urban tourism and transportation systems needed to support tourist activity. The study first characterized the parameters influencing the level of accessibility of tourist flows to the main tourist attractions of Jerusalem. This characterization process proved that the unique urban structure of Jerusalem and, more specifically, its old walled city, has…
Cycles of War, Terror, and Peace
This article discusses the management of tourism crises in the wake of security situations based on the Israeli experience. Using statistics of international tourist arrivals, the various security situations that have affected Israeli tourism are presented and their determinants analyzed. Subsequently, guidelines on how to manage crises of various types are presented.
Patterns of tourist destination-choice and travel behaviour among members of the urban and rural Arab community of Israel
Resettling Displaced People in North and South Cyprus
The Turkish and Greek Cypriote became internally displaced within the borders of Cyprus in two different periods and in two different ways. Both communities constitute con-national refugees—an outcome of intercommunal conflict in 1958 and in 1960-63 (the Turkish community) and the Turkish occupation of 1974 (the Greek community). This paper compares the two communities each to the other and to other groups of con-national refugees. The Turkish Cy…
