Vacation untouchable – a deconstruction of the liberal ‘right to tourism’
This paper examines how the liberal ‘right to tourism’ acquired its contemporary normative meaning and how it conflicts with planetary boundaries. It investigates the historical, structural, and discursive conditions that have rendered tourism a taken-for-granted form of liberal freedom. Unlimited tourism is neither a human nor a legal right, but a historically constructed and socially defended freedom rooted in growth-oriented tourism systems an…
National tourism policy – a matter of economy, financing or actor competencies
Traditionally, the political importance of tourism is discussed from an economic point of view. The importance of tourism in the political domain is still assessed in the respective economic contribution despite a proclaimed need to assess the importance more holistically. This paper provides empirical evidence of whether the holistic view reflects the political reality of European countries. It addresses decision criteria applied in national pol…
Light versus dark motives in dark tourism
A light versus dark spectrum is a common tool to conceptualize dark tourism. The existing spectrums, however, have a clear focus on destinations and attractions and leave the tourist and in particular ethical aspects of the travel decision aside. As an answer to this shortcoming, the following proposes a different approach. With this newly developed spectrum, both motive and ethical aspects are put into the forefront to determine the shades of da…
Me versus them – interest-based conflict lines between tourists and residents
Conflicts between tourists and residents occur frequently at the destination level and reflect the antagonistic positions of the two groups, which is mirrored in tourism research and concepts. Following the traditional conflict theory of Dahrendorf and Coser, conflicts cannot be solved but regulated. The paper provides a conceptual framework for how such a regulation based on conflict theory can be applied to the tourism context and the antagonis…
Transforming local Arctic tourism businesses in times of multiple crises
External effects significantly affect Arctic tourism. This not only relates to climate change proposing a long-term threat but also other events, like the COVID pandemic. Small regional business active in Arctic tourism is forced to adapt to this reality and cannot escape from the consequences. The study aims to evaluate the situation from the perspective of the small- and medium-sized companies, representing the backbone of Arctic tourism. It fo…
National tourism organizations and climate change
There is a consensus that the global tourism system needs to undergo decarbonization and achieve net-zero emissions by mid-century. However, given the anticipated growth in the most energy-intensive subsector of tourism, air transport, achieving this goal seems unlikely. This paper focuses on the role of distance in the global geography of tourism, against evidence that National Marketing Organizations (NTOs) often seek to attract visitors from a…
Rules of interpretation – qualitative research in tourism by incorporating legal science canons
Achieving rigour is one of the key challenges in qualitative research. Despite a significant amount of triangulation efforts in regards to data, methods, researcher and theory, actual coding aspects do not get the same level of analytical attention. This ‘technical’ triangulation can be improved and made more transparent by incorporating methodology of other disciplines, like legal science. Within the traditional ‘black-letter’ research, at least…
Degree of political attention towards tourism
The attention that political parties pay to the tourism sector’s issues has been an underresearched subject for tourism science. This paper aims to fill the gap by analysing political awareness for tourism-related topics on a national level. It will answer the question of whether tourism plays an important role in parties’ manifestos and in which context it is addressed. To facilitate the research, the paper applies a quantitative content analysi…
Revenge and catch-up travel or degrowth? Debating tourism Post Covid-19
Die Verwechslungsgefahr der juristischen Abschlüsse als Nachwirkung der Bologna-Reform
The changes in the academic world that resulted from the Bologna-Process hardly affected the area of legal sciences. Apart from a few non-traditional law studies the core of the law studies remained untouched. This does not mean they will not be affected. One item that has the potential for significant conflicts is the degrees that both areas traditional and non-traditional are awarding their graduates. Unlike in the pre-Bologna era there is the …
