Abstract:
Alternative tourism and ecotourism find their relevance in changing travel patterns in the next normal era. Both enable tourism trips that have a positive impact on the growth of the quality of life of tourists and hosts, as well as the quality of the environment and cultural conservation that are the destinations of travel. Ecotourism is a way for alternative tourism to be increasingly recognized and become the answer, when tourist travel turns to a small scale, considering the capacity of tourist destinations and the welfare of local communities. This article is based on qualitative data obtained through interviews and in-depth observations related to the implementation of alternative tourism managed by local communities as well as Forest Conservation Groups in ecotourism destinations in Mendiro Hamlet, Panglungan Village, Wonosalam District, Jombang Regency, East Java Province. Wonosalam is not only known for its durian commodities but has many springs, conservation forests, and Biodiversity Parks. The purpose of this study is to describe the implementation of alternative tourism in Wonosalam. This study concludes that the concept of alternative tourism finds its relevance to ecotourism practices in Wonosalam through observation of springs, jungle tracking, river crossings, birdwatching which is done on a small scale, and the attraction of tourist villages located on the border of conservation forests. The ownership and management of this tourist village are entirely local.

Abstract:
This paper presents the development of tourism market through the alternative forms of tourism. Origins and main definitions are presented followed by an analysis of the complexity of classifying the alternative forms of tourism. It is about developing new forms of sustainable tourism that integrate local populations and both natural and human environments of host countries. Ecotourism, cultural tourism and creative tourism support a different philosophy of tourism. Ecotourism in recent years encloses many tourism forms focused on natural environment. In the concept of alternative tourism, the dynamic growth of cultural tourism can be explained by the fast growth of demand for trips to various cultural attractions and amenities. Τhe increase of educated population around the world, the globalization and technology supported this growth. Cultural tourist, from consumer is transforming to producer of the cultural products and experiences. Since this type of tourist becomes more interactive and creative, cultural tourism needs to be repositioned and become more “creative” too. In this way, the present article provides a simplified approach of the new “alternative” tourism development and distinguishes the current trends in tourism market.

AbstractIn the concept of alternative tourism, the dynamic growth of cultural tourism can be explained by the fast growth of demand for trips to various cultural attractions and amenities. Alternative tourism is a form of tourism that is not well-known and promoted in our country, but which presents high economic development potential. Alternative tourism is based on the use of natural potentials and cultural heritage and encourages interaction with nature, people and community. Peja District is an important tourist destination in Kosovo especially in rural areas, which are popular and frequently visited by local visitors and tourists from the European Union. History, culture and tradition are the main sources of tourism development in Peja region. The position of extension, the protected environment, the fertile lands, etc. are the elements that identify the city of Peja as a tourist town, which is visited throughout the year by visitors from different countries. Such tourism will be just green, sensitive, progressive, harmonious, responsible, eco, community; all characteristics fall under the heading “alternative tourism”. The goal of the paper is to provide readers with knowledge about alternative tourism in Peja municipality.

Abstract:
PurposeThe study aims to explore the possibility of redefining success in tourism and measuring such a phenomenon by considering alternatives to economic factors, and to identify the ways such measurement could be implemented.Design/methodology/approachThe study reviews and explains current approaches to defining and measuring success in tourism in the literature, followed by identification of alternative factors which could be measured and the implications of such a change in approach.FindingsThere has been a long-standing emphasis and priority placed on measuring tourism at the national level with a focus on economic criteria, and this has been followed at regional and local levels. The result has been that success has become equated with volume, supporting the aim of continued growth in tourism. Such an approach and attitude mitigate against achieving or moving towards sustainability, and other measures are needed to avoid problems such as overtourism.Originality/valueThere has been little discussion of moving to a wider range of indicators of success in tourism, and the previous focus has been on economic criteria and competitiveness as shown by tourist numbers. This paper presents a discussion of an alternative approach, showing that tourism stakeholders from national to local levels need to redefine success as including factors such as community and environmental well-being and focus on a wider concept of success. Using existing data and organisations would enable measuring such concepts to be done without major change or greatly increased costs to agencies.

Abstract:
Sustainability is a topic that is currently being discussed and constantly adapting, since it is related not only to an ecologically correct posture and strategy but also economically viable and socially equitable. Therefore, the importance given by the media to the theme of ecology, sustainability has led to a growing concern among the population. In this context, slow tourism is based on the concept of speed. It involves traveling for a prolonged period at a slow pace, allowing the tourist a deep, authentic, and cultural experience. This paper presents theoretical considerations that aim to understand how “slow tourism” can become a destination for future sustainable tourism trips

Abstract:
Baduy Tribe Village is one of the famous tourist destinations in the Lebak Regency. As a major tourist destination, the number of tourists visiting the Baduy Tribe Village is still far from expectations. That is because the tourism marketing strategy is still not optimal by the Regional Government of Lebak Regency. This research uses a qualitative method approach by utilizing the literature review and previous experience. One alternative strategy is through the creation of a Tourism Equation that utilizes tourist attractions visited by many tourists, such as Sawarna Beach tourism or other tourist attractions in other areas. The storefront of tourism can trigger public interest to further visit the Baduy Tribe Village. The results of this paper are expected to be used as an alternative that can be tried by the Regional Government of the Regency of Lebak to improve tourism development in the Regency of Lebak.

Tourism, an expanding worldwide phenomenon is one of the largest industries and all countries are keenly interested in promoting tourism, although with different objectives. Social tourism is one of the least unexplored area in Nepal, if implemented promptly, would contribute significantly in economy and employment. The government should have social tourism policy so that it can be implemented and the activities of tourists and host organizations can be monitored. The policy should outline the role and responsibility, accountability, criteria and minimum standard of tourists and host organizations, and visa policy for the social tourists.The Gaze: Journal of Tourism and Hospitality Vol.6 2014 pp.98-118

Abstract:
The Kichwa Añangu Community lives in Ecuador's Yasuní National Park. As a community, they have chosen to dedicate their livelihood to community-owned tourism, or what is commonly called turismo comunitario in Ecuador. Tourism brings multiple, ongoing challenges to the Añangu Community. Shifting market demands, growing regional and transnational competition, and large-scale climate events each present ongoing vulnerabilities. Furthermore, the Añangu do not own rights to the petroleum reserves quietly resting under their land. Nonetheless, they persist in their tourism project and have become recognized as a model for community-owned tourism in Ecuador. In part, this thesis seeks to explore why the Añangu Community has chosen to not only pursue, but expand their involvement in community-owned tourism. This research will demonstrate that tourism is locally embraced as a vehicle for livelihood wellbeing, environmental stewardship, and cultural reclamation. The key question then becomes, why is the Añangu Community’s tourism project successful? Here, I argue that through community agency and governance, the Añangu Community is able to practice economic, environmental, and cultural self-determination via their local control of the tourism project.

Abstract:
Mass tourism being on the agenda of world tourism industry since post war period, has been facing stagnation with late 80&rsquo
s. Additionally consumer&rsquo
s preferences and tendencies towards seeking new activities regardless of sea-sun-sand type of tourism have been started to change. Therefore popular tourist destinations are in a position where to develop alternative tourist activities to sustain their market shares in world tourism market. In compliance with this trend, the purpose of this thesis is to analyze the need and the reason of Turkish Tourism Industry moving away from concentrating merely on mass tourism and accordingly to evaluate the efforts of Turkish tourism authorities in diversifying tourism activities and extending the tourist season to year round with reference to Tourism Development Regions, Amendment of Tourism Encouragement Law, etc. Additionally the importance of focusing on cultural, historical, traditional identity and unique assets of Turkey in order to sustain its ranking in the international tourism market is stressed.

Abstract:
This study develops and tests a theoretical model drawing on social psychological and resource-mobilization perspectives of social movement theory to explain changes in social movement participation and support for activism among Earthwatch Expedition volunteers. The social psychological perspective of social movements recognizes the role of self-efficacy and consciousness-raising for the participation in and success of social movement organizations. The resource mobilization perspective of social movements stresses rationality and the importance of funding and networks for the success of social movement organizations. Utilizing these two theoretical perspectives as my foundation, I hypothesize that participation in an Earthwatch Expedition increases volunteers' participation in social movement organizations in ways such as making monetary donations, voting with the organization's platform in mind, or attending rallies and marches. I also hypothesize that volunteers will increase their support for others who participate in these same types of activities. Earthwatch Expeditions are a form of alternative tourism in which volunteers participate in any of 126 different types of 10-14 day research-oriented expeditions that may include evaluating the health of a coral reef, studying maternal health among west African women, assessing the killer whale population off the coast of Puget Sound, or recording oral history in Dominica. I conducted pre- and post-trip surveys in June and July of 1998, resulting in 363 completed surveys. I analyzed data using multiple regression to discover relationships between pre-trip and post-trip measures of social movement participation, activism support, networks, self-efficacy, and consciousness-raising. In other words, I explored ways in which an alternative tourism experience like Earthwatch can change a person's ideas about their own social movement participation, the social movement activities of others, their perceived ability to overcome obstacles in order to implement social change, and their awareness of social issues. Results suggest that participation in an Earthwatch Expedition has a positive effect on volunteers' social movement participation, their awareness of social issues, their networks, and their ability to overcome obstacles, but little effect on activism support.

Abstract:
Utilising a critical theoretical perspective, this work examines contemporary corporatised tourism and capitalist globalisation. This analysis suggests that marketisation limits the understanding of the purposes of tourism to its commercial and “industrial” features, thereby marginalising wider understandings of the social importance of tourism. Sklair’s conceptualisation of capitalist globalisation and its dynamics, as expressed in his “sociology of the global system” (2002), is employed to understand the corporatised tourism phenomenon. This thesis explains how a corporatised tourism sector has been created by transnational tourism and travel corporations, professionals in the travel and tourism sector, transnational practices such as the liberalisation being imposed through the General Agreement on Trade in Services negotiations and the culture-ideology of consumerism that tourists have adopted. This thesis argues that this reaps profits for industry and exclusive holidays for privileged tourists, but generates social and ecological costs which inspire vigorous challenge and resistance. This challenge is most clearly evident in the alternative tourism movement which seeks to provide the equity and environmental sustainability undermined by the dynamics of corporatised tourism. Alternative tourism niches with a capacity to foster an “eco-humanism” are examined by focusing on ecotourism, sustainable tourism, pro-poor tourism, fair trade in tourism, community-based tourism, peace through tourism, volunteer tourism and justice tourism. While each of these demonstrates certain transformative capacities, some prove to be mild reformist efforts and others promise more significant transformative capacity. In particular, the niches of volunteer tourism and justice tourism demonstrate capacities to mount a vigorous challenge to both corporatised tourism and capitalist globalisation. Since the formation of the Global Tourism Interventions Forum (GTIF) at the World Social Forum gathering in Mumbai in 2004, justice tourism has an agenda focused on overturning corporatised tourism and capitalist globalisation, and inaugurating a new alternative globalisation which is both “pro-people” and sustainable. Following the development of these original, macro-level conceptualisations of tourism and globalisation, this thesis presents a micro-level case study of an Indigenous Australian tourism enterprise which illustrates some of these dynamics in a local context. Camp Coorong Race Relations and Cultural Education Centre established and run by the Ngarrindjeri Aboriginal community of South Australia has utilised tourism to foster greater equity and sustainability by working towards reconciliation through tourism. The Ngarrindjeri have also experienced conflicts generated from the pressures of inappropriate tourism development which has necessitated an additional strategy of asserting their Indigenous rights in order to secure Ngarrindjeri lifeways. The case study analysis suggests that for alternative tourism to create the transformations that contemporary circumstances require, significant political change may be necessary. This includes fulfilment of economic, social and cultural rights to which a majority of nations have committed but have to date failed to implement. While this is a challenge for nation-states and is beyond the capacities of tourism alone, tourism nonetheless can be geared toward greater equity and sustainability if the perspective that corporatised tourism is the only option is resisted. This thesis demonstrates that another tourism is possible; one that is geared to public welfare, human fulfilment, solidarity and ecological living.

Abstract:
Hoy en día nos limitamos a realizar los mismos viajes, lugares y hacer las mismas actividades. Pocos son los peruanos que se aventuran a experimentar nuevas actividades por su cuenta en territorio nacional donde no solo se trata de realizar deportes extremos sino también de salir de la rutina, tener anécdotas que contar más adelante. La sobre exposición a tanta información, en las últimas generaciones, ha generado que se centren en buscar eso que los llene, los haga sentir felices y/o autorrealizados, a partir de este punto es donde se empezó a generar un atractivo por viajar, teniendo como consecuencia un mercado con acceso a diversas fuentes información aunque dispersa y repetitiva de actividades que pueden ser gratificantes y si bien son aceptadas con entusiasmo no satisfacen por completo las expectativas ni los deseos más profundos del consumidor de esta generación que busca experiencias que puedan trascender en sus recuerdos. El turismo alternativo cambia la forma en que realizamos turismo para darle un giro diferente, pero sobre todo mucho más interesante y comprometido ya sea en lo aventurero, vivencial, ambiental y tanatoturismo. La propuesta presentada por nuestro equipo es proporcionar un espacio digital donde el cliente pueda escoger su próxima aventura pensada en experiencias únicas donde pueda realizar actividades diferentes y lugares poco convencionales.
Nowadays, we limit ourselves to the same trips, places and doing the same activities. Few are Peruvians who venture to experience new activities on their own in national territory where it is not only about extreme sports but also to get out of the routine, to have anecdotes to tell later. The overexposure to so much information, in the last generations, has generated that they focus on looking for that which fills them, makes them feel happy and / or self-realized, from this point is where they started to generate an attraction for traveling, taking as a consequence, a market with access to diverse sources, although dispersed and repetitive of activities that can be rewarding and although they are accepted with enthusiasm, do not completely satisfy the expectations or the deepest desires of the consumer of this generation who seeks experiences that can go beyond their memories. Alternative tourism changes the way we do tourism to give it a different turn, but above all, much more interesting and committed, whether it be adventurous, experiential, environmental and tanatotourism. The proposal presented by our team is to provide a digital space where the client can choose his next adventure thought of unique experiences where he can perform different activities and unconventional places.

Abstract:
Tourism is a highly important and diverse economic sector. All tourism activity relies directly and indirectly on water resources. While direct water use in hotels, golf courses and other tourism establishments is relatively well researched, the more substantial volumes of water used indirectly to produce goods which cater for tourism demand are poorly understood. The thesis develops and tests three innovative approaches as part of its overall aim of comprehensively quantifying total (direct and indirect) water demand and water productivity (water use in relation to economic output) across different tourism products. The first approach is based on the water footprint concept and uses readily available data from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization and the Water Footprint Network. The second approach uses statistical segmentation and secondary tourism expenditure data, along with Environmental Input-Output (EIO) analysis, to create distinct tourist groups whose water use and productivity is subsequently compared. The third approach employs primary survey data along with a novel EIO model, in order to quantify the specific impacts of tourist dietary choices. The water scarce island of Cyprus, a popular tourism destination, serves as the central case study. The contribution of the thesis is primarily methodological, producing three methods of differing complexity thus offering a previously unavailable choice to academics and policy makers. Additionally, the approaches generate results with important theoretical and policy implications. Firstly, when both indirect and direct water use is taken into account, cheaper mass tourism is shown to have a higher water productivity compared to higher-spending tourists. With many destinations currently investing in attracting the latter group, this finding is of immediate relevance. Secondly, the findings highlight the importance of obtaining accurate information on dietary preferences in order to better manage the supply chain of key products which account for a significant amount of water consumption.

Abstract:
A partir de la comparaison de micro-circuits de tourisme alternatif mis en place par deux communautés rurales au Guatemala, ce travail interroge la place des visiteurs étrangers dans le processus de construction du discours touristique ainsi que la place du circuit et de ses acteurs au regard des enjeux politiques locaux. L’histoire des groupes étudiés est directement liée à celle du conflit armé interne qu’a connu le pays : ils sont ex-guérilleros ou veuves du conflit. Pour eux, le tourisme est une ressource économique complémentaire, mais aussi un espace de représentation identitaire et mémorielle. Les circuits dont il est question ne sont pas encadrés par des organisations extérieures, ils relèvent du « bricolage » des acteurs locaux, qui s’appuient sur des réseaux d’aide et d’interconnaissance et des contacts internationaux – au premier rang desquels les touristes eux-mêmes. L’analyse des enjeux attachés au circuit touristique éclaire l’importance de la maîtrise de la (re)présentation identitaire du groupe, à la fois dans le contexte de l’inscription dans des réseaux de solidarités transnationaux et dans celui des jeux de pouvoir locaux
This thesis, based on the study of small-scale alternative tourism in two rural communities in Guatemala, examines the role of foreign visitors in the making of the touristic discourse, as well as the manner in which the tour and its actors relate to local politics. The history of the studied groups is rooted in the internal armed conflict: they are ex-guerillas or Ixil widows. Tourism is not their main occupation but an additional economic resource, as well as a stage for the performance of their identity and memory. These tours where not set up by foreign organizations; they fall within what can be called “bricolage”, their progressive making and adapting by local actors who rely on the help of acquaintanceship networks and international contacts –with the tourists themselves in the forefront. An analysis of the issues at stake concerning the touristic project emphasizes the importance of control over public (re)presentation of the identity of the group, both in the context of its insertion in transnational solidarity networks and in that of local power dynamics

Abstract:
O município de São João da Barra, localizado na mesorregião do norte-fluminense do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, por possuir uma vasta riqueza natural, sobretudo de praias, é um local muito procurado pelo turismo, principalmente no verão, período mais propício à balneabilidade, também atrai uma grande demanda de turistas através de diversos eventos organizados pela prefeitura, como carnaval, acarretando como consequência o desenvolvimento do turismo de massa. Além disso, o município foi escolhido para hospedar o Complexo Logístico e Industrial Portuário do Açu (CLIPA), maior empreendimento porto-indústria da América Latina, e um dos três maiores complexos portuários do mundo, que está em fase de implantação. Diante deste cenário, considerando a necessidade de buscar uma alternativa ao turismo de massa, bem como, proteger este destino turístico dos impactos provocados pelo mesmo, e pelo complexo portuário, a pesquisa teve por objetivo identificar o potencial turístico do município de São João da Barra, com enfoque ao desenvolvimento do turismo alternativo a fim de oferecer subsídios para o planejamento turístico sustentável do local. O trabalho se baseou na metodologia proposta por Braga (2007) referente às etapas do processo de planejamento turístico, que se constituíram em quatro etapas: definição do objeto de estudo e missão do planejamento; inventário da situação atual, diagnóstico, e diretrizes de ação. As análises revelaram, através da pesquisa bibliográfica e empírica área de estudo, os principais impactos socioambientais que ocorrem em São João da Barra, provocados não só pelo turismo, como também pela implantação do complexo portuário e por outras fontes; também foi possível obter a percepção da comunidade acerca de como a atividade turística se desenvolve no local, permitindo a elaboração de diretrizes no contexto da gestão participativa. Além disso, o estudo revelou o grande potencial turístico de modalidades alternativas ao turismo de massa, como o turismo científico, educacional, histórico-cultural e esportivo, através da elaboração do inventário da oferta local e do mapa de localização dos atrativos.
The municipality of São João da Barra, located in the region of the North Fluminense State of Rio de Janeiro, for possessing a vast natural wealth, especially beaches, is a popular location for tourism, mainly in the summer, time more conducive to bathing, also attracts a large demand of tourists through various events organized by prefecture, such as Carnival, resulting as a consequence the development of mass tourism. Furthermore, the municipality was chosen to host the Logistics and Industrial Complex Port of Açu (CLIPA), higher port-industry enterprise in Latin America, and one of the three largest port complexes in the world, which is under implementation. Before this scenario, considering the need to seek an alternative to mass tourism, as well as protect this tourist destination of the impacts caused by the same, and the port complex, the research aimed to identify the tourism potential of São João da Barra, focusing on the development of alternative tourism in order to provide information for planning sustainable tourism site. The work was based on the methodology proposed by Braga (2007) refers to the process steps of tourism planning, which consisted of four steps: definition of the object of study and mission planning; inventory of the current situation, diagnosis, and guidelines for action. The analyzes revealed through literature and empirical study area, the main environmental impacts that occur in São João da Barra, caused not only by tourism, but also for the implementation of the port complex and other sources, it was also possible to obtain community opinion about how tourism is developed on site, allowing the development of guidelines in the context of participatory management. Furthermore, the study revealed the great tourism potential of alternative ways to mass tourism, as scientific tourism, educational tourism, historical-cultural tourism, and sports tourism through the development of local offer inventory and location map of the attractions.

Abstract:
O turismo de surf nos Açores é um nicho pouco desenvolvido no território, com poucos praticantes locais e procura incipiente. O surf representa uma oportunidade a explorar, podendo vir a assumir-se como um produto turístico relevante para as ilhas. Neste sentido, esta dissertação visa analisar a potencialidade dos Açores para a prática de surf e desenvolver propostas de ação com vista à valorização desta atividade como um produto turístico na região. Neste contexto, na primeira parte da dissertação é analisado o estado da arte referente ao turismo e desporto na natureza, particularizando depois para o surf e turismo a ele associado. Seguidamente procede-se à análise do surf como potencial produto turístico nos Açores, através da caracterização da atividade turística e de surf no território, da aplicação de um questionário junto dos praticantes de surf e do levantamento e caracterização dos principais spots de surf no arquipélago. Os resultados revelam que o território tem potencial para desenvolver o surf como um produto turístico, existindo nos Açores vários spots com interesse para a prática da atividade. No entanto, o desenvolvimento da atividade tem-se verificado praticamente em São Miguel, o que se revela um ponto fraco, sendo recomendável desenvolvê-la também nas restantes ilhas. Neste sentido, foram definidas propostas para valorizar o surf como um produto turístico no arquipélago, contribuindo assim para a diversificação, dinamização e qualificação da atual oferta turística e fomentar um desenvolvimento sustentável do turismo de surf nas ilhas dos Açores.
The surf tourism in the Azores is a cluster to be developed, with few local surfers and low demand. Surf represents an opportunity to explore, possibly an important tourism product for the islands. This dissertation aims at analysing the potential of the Azores for the practice of surf and to propose actions to value this activity as a tourism product of the region. In this context, in the first part of the dissertation the art state concerning nature tourism and sports, as well as the association of surf and tourism, is analysed. Them, the analysis of the surf as a tourism product in the Azores is carried out, including the characterization of the tourism activity and surfing in the territory, the application of a questionnaire to the surf practitioners and the identification and characterization of the main surf spots in the archipelago. The results confirm that Azores has potential to develop surf as a tourism product; there are several spots with potential to practice this activity. Even though the development of the activity has been observed in São Miguel Island, this in itself is a weak point, being recommended the development in the other islands. Consequently, several proposals were defined in order to contribute to increase the value of surf as a tourism product in the archipelago. Furthermore, the development of surf contributes to the diversity, dynamics and qualification of the present tourism supply and to the sustainable development of surf tourism in the Azores islands.

Abstract:
As one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy, tourism requires adequate changes in the supply of tourism products and services to meet changes in consumer tastes and preferences. The need for reforms is also necessary due to the oversaturation of the market and the growing desire of tourists to consume experiences. One of the ways to achieve change is by simulating the development of alternative forms of tourism, including the mystical one. This would expand the opportunities of the sector and would allow fuller use of the tourist potential of the destination.

Abstract:
In the conditions of the modern competitively developing tourism, the problems of sustainable development of a tourist destination, the need for development of alternative types of tourism are economic and social processes of increasing importance. Moreover, they focus on some of the most important changes and problems in the way of development of modern tourism. Where are these intersections and what are they due to? In what sense are the phenomena of wine tourism, sustainable development and tourist destination becoming more and more interdependent processes? How is the national and regional development of wine tourism and its sustainable development reflected in the mirror of international tourism, in the conditions of "globality" and "locality"?

Full text
Abstract:
Tourism sector, like most of the other countries of the world, has also gained importance in Turkey in last few decades. Global tourist flows and tourism income have a steady increase. Hence, as an effective tool for sustainable economic development and welfare, importance of tourism sector is rising. Tourism is a considerable source of an additional income, exchange, employment and tax revenue for most countries. Turkey is one of the prominent tourism destinations for the world tourist flows. Turkish tourism industry began to grow in 1980s with the incentive macroeconomic policies. The industry has been growing in terms of international tourist arrivals and tourism receipts despite some discouraging events, such as economics crisis in the source countries, changing concerns, political incidents etc. For a sustainably growing and productive tourism sector it is essential to reduce the volatility in tourist arrivals. A less volatile tourist inflow may help to policy and decision makers. So, understanding the volatility of demand can reduce the uncertainty and help to develop appropriate policies. This paper aims to conduct such an analysis for Turkey’s inbound tourist flow, using the monthly data for 1996-2011 period. Exploiting alternative modeling techniques to measure and investigate the volatility in international tourist arrivals, the study concluded that the volatility of tourist arrivals to Turkey is asymmetric: positive shocks have a differential impact on future volatility than negative shocks.

Legena, Henry, Brittney McKenzie, Aria Goodridge, Karyl Pivott, Joshua Austin, Kristen Lynch, Shamika Spencer, et al. Experimental Evidence on the Use of Biomethane from Rum Distillery Waste and Sargassum Seaweed as an Alternative Fuel for Transportation in Barbados. Inter-American Development Bank, May 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0003288.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper presents an alternative to the current use of gasoline and diesel for transportation in Barbados. By relying on experimental evidence, it shows that biomethane emanating from the combination of Sargassum seaweed that is found on the seashores of the country with wastewater from rum distillery production can be used to produce an alternative transportation fuel. If implemented successfully, this alternative combustion method can avoid as much as 1 million metric tons of CO2 emissions every year in the country. These findings have important implications for policymakers. First, they can contribute to the national objective of becoming fossil fuel free by 2030 and diversifying the energy matrix. Second, this alternative fuel can improve resilience to natural catastrophes, complementing the transition to renewables and diversification of the sector. Third, the impact on the tourism industry is expected to be high and positive, as the Sargassum seaweed has been declared a national emergency due to its prevalence on beach tourism spots.

Abstract:
Coffs Harbour on the north coast of NSW is a highway city sandwiched between the Great Dividing Range and the Pacific Ocean. For thousands of years it was the traditional land of the numerous Gumbaynggirr peoples. Tourism now appears to be the major industry, supplanting agriculture and timber getting, while a large service sector has grown up around a sizable retirement community. It is major holiday destination. Located further away from the coast in the midst of a dairy farming community, Bellingen has become a centre of alternative culture which relies heavily on a variety of festivals activated by energetic tree changers and numerous professionals who have relocated from Sydney. Both communities rely on the visitor economy and there have been considerable changes to how local government in this region approach strategic planning for arts and culture. The newly built Coffs Harbour Education Campus (CHEC) is an experiment in encouraging cross pollination between innovative businesses and education and incorporates TAFE NSW, Coffs Harbour Senior College and Southern Cross University as well as the Coffs Harbour Technology Park and Coffs Harbour Innovation Centre all on one site. The 250 seat Jetty Memorial Theatre is the main theatre in Coffs Harbour for local and touring productions while local halls and converted theatres are the mainstay of smaller communities in the region. As peak body Arts Mid North Coast reports, there is a good record of successful arts related events which range across all genres of music, art, sculpture, Aboriginal culture, street art, literature and even busking and opera. These are mainly managed by passionate local volunteers.

Abstract:
The University of A Coruña is partner of the GRAZELIFE LIFE preparatory project (LIFE 18 PRE/NL002). We contributed to the main aim of the project of promoting sustainable grazing by large herbivores, with the study of the particular case of Galician wild ponies as a natural grazing semi-wild land use model, and alternative land uses of short and long-term afforestation, extensive grazing and abandonment. We selected two sub-areas in Galicia representing different situations in dominant land uses and the wild ponies’ system. Xistral, in the north, is a protected Natura 2000 site covered by wet heaths and bogs, ponies are owned by commoners that are mainly cattle farmers. Groba, in the south, is a drier area with dominance of forestry use and high frequency of wildfires, where ponies are owned by non-professional farmers. We performed twenty personal semi-structured interviews with pony owners, land owners and related experts from different sectors (afforestation, tourism, conservation NGOs), and performed two focus groups. We discussed topics such as their relation with ponies, the challenges they face, their demands and feelings on the policies, including CAP subsidies or compensations for wolf attacks, and their expectations for the future. In the field, we selected representative stands of each land use model in each sub-area and performed a systematic record of plant species, measures of plant biomass, and collected soil samples. Measures were used as proxies of biodiversity changes, carbon storage and wildfire risk, to compare between the selected models.
