Academic literature on the topic 'Corporatised tourism'

Modern tourism is an industry which role in ensuring the economic development of individual states and the world economy as a whole cannot be overestimated. The success of tourism and travel enterprises often depends on their corporate reputation. This article is devoted to the study of the elements and their connection with the peculiarities of different segments behavior. To assess the consumer’s response to the corporative reputation the ranking methods were used in course of decrease of exponent importance; Likert five-grade scale. There were taken the constituent parts of corporate nature and the main elements of company reputation as the variables, which influence the consumer’s decision on buying the service. Paper examines three issues: the possibility of a connection between the company’s nature and corporative reputation elements; the factors affecting the purchase decision of tourism service; and the corporative reputation’s place in the formation of consumer’s behavior of the tourism company client. During the research there was found the connection between the company’s nature and the corporate reputation elements, there were also found factors that effect the decision about buying the tourism product; the personal experience and the opinion of reference group turned out to be the most important. The essential influence of the corporate reputation on the client’s behavior was found. Nevertheless, the obtained results differ for different groups, which were formed according to gender, age, income rate, belonging to a profession and the typical consumer behavior. The obtained results may be used by the companies of tourism and travel industry for identifying the target audience and for the development of the PR-campaigns.

Slovak landscape becomes visible in terms of tourism with the mark of a butterfly with spread wings. With the small wings the authors would like to express the size of the country and those big, huge potential, which is located in this area. The general professional public as well as development of economic indicators suggests that this potential is untapped. The paper is aimed to identify barriers of the development of small and medium-sized tourism enterprises providing services in rural areas, which may use this potential significantly. Then to define criteria and identify rural accommodation facilities, because of these reasons, there was limited ability to provide non-repayable foreign financial resources from the Structural Funds. A part of this work is to identify the problems with the size of these enterprises and to define the expected assistance from authorities at regional level, also in the field of fire protection.

In this article, it is searched to reflect on the Education in the distance, more specifically in relation to one of these modalities of education: the e-learning, come back toward the tourism. For this, it was looked through a bibliographical revision, to approach relevant aspects, to iden-tify existing gaps that not only justified the relevance of the subject, but also propitiated interest for the opening of ways that will be conducting wires for future quarrels. The questionings considered in this article evidence the necessity of making a deep research on this subject, not only for understanding, but, mainly, for making possible the analysis of the characteristics of the or-ganizational communication process of e-learning applied in the Tourism, besides comparing them with other forms of communication, more used in the traditional corporative qualification of the sector.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the Hotel Workers Union and its impact on talent management in the New Zealand hospitality sector using the corporatist framework drawing primarily on the works of Schmitter (1979) to construct a critical, historical employment relations approach.Design/methodology/approachThe data for this paper were gathered as part of a history of employment relations in the New Zealand hotel sector from 1955 to 2000. The main methods were, namely, semi-structured interviews and archival research.FindingsThis study found a historical employment environment of multiple actors in the employment relationship, with hotel unions playing a more complex and nuanced role to influence talent management in the New Zealand hotel sector. The paper suggests that neither the hotel union nor employers effectively addressed talent management challenges in this sector.Research limitations/implicationsThe study contributes detailed empirical knowledge about historical relationships between hotel unions and talent management issues in New Zealand.Originality/valueThe paper argues that applying a corporatist perspective to the history of the Hotel Workers Union and the issues of talent management that result from that history provides a unique and insightful contribution to the field

This contribution deals with the relationship between town planning, architectural design and landscape in the foundation of “new towns” in Italy. In doing so, I shall focus on the Pontine Marshes, giving due consideration to then emerging theories about the fascist corporate state, whose foundation act may be traced back to Giuseppe Bottai’s “Charter of Labour”. This political-cultural “model” purported a clear hierarchy between settlements, each bound for a specific role, for which specific functions were to be assigned to different parts of the city. Similarly, cultivations in the countryside were to specialise. In the Pontine Marshes, Littoria was to become a provincial capital and Sabaudia a tourist destination, Pontinia an industrial centre and Aprilia an eminently rural town. Whereas the term “corporatism” may remind the guild system of the Middle Age, its 1930s’ revival meant to effectively supports the need for a cohesive organization of socio-economic forces, whose recognition and classification was to support the legal-political order of the state. What was the corporate city supposed to be? Some Italian architects rephrased this question: what was the future city in Italy of the hundred cities? Bringing to the fore the distinguishing character of the settlements concerned, and based on the extensive literature available, this contribution discusses the composition of territorial and urban space, arguing that, in the Pontine Marshes, this entails the hierarchical triad farm-village-city, as well as an extraordinary figurative research at times hovering towards “classicism”, “rationalism” or “picturesque”. Composition and figuration are therefore not homogeneous, nor mere expressions of the fascist regime. They show instead a constant research, between aesthetics and practice, of an idea of modern city, of public space, of balance between city and countryside.

The purpose of this paper is to present and analyse text genres offer and authorisation/approval as unilateral text types that are mostly used for communication purposes in tourism and hospitality management. This analysis will show a specific communication model of management. The paper starts with an introduction that leads to argumentation of text within LSP and discusses the text as a tool in management of tourism and hospitality corporations and corporations in general. Further, this paper gives shortly the methodolgy of corpus description and classification of commisives. Unilateral commisives, their function and definition is discussed, and afterwards follows the analysis of text genre offer and authorisation/approval used in corporations and companies. The conclusion gives the main characteristics of unilateral text genres in corporative communication and also gives characteristics of communication models used by management. The corpus for this study includes examples of texts which are used for communication purposes in corporations. Text genres offer and authorisation/approval are characterized as unilateral text subtypes. This paper provides a linguistic analysis of the text and text genres. Every text will be analysed within three levels. Text genres are crucial for gaining success in corporate communication. Depending from the type of corporate ideology and philosophy, text genres offer and authorisation/approval show characteristics on the micro and macro structural level, they show specific vocabulary, grammatical structures and syntax in communication. Communicative function and implementation of communication in written discourse is discussed in this paper. Available sources and references on this topic are based on text linguistics and analysis of general text genres. However, little has been published and no research of text genres used in corporations (as specialized text genres) has been conducted in Croatian so far.

In the sports sector, entrepreneurship, innovation, and social corporative responsible are generating growing interest during the last years. Due to that situation, sustainable entrepreneurship and innovation in sport have emerged in this sector, receiving individual attention from academics and practitioners. However, little is known about the evolution of this new field of research. Thus, the main aim of this paper is to analyze the documents published in the Web of Science about sport sustainable entrepreneurship and innovation. The bibliometric analysis allows us to discover the current state of a research field, identify the principal authors, articles, and topics, and propose future research lines to develop it further. The articles published between 2000 and 2019 were analyzed quantitatively, and by word and author co-occurrence. Later, through the bibliographic coupling, the articles were grouped in different clusters. Seven central thematics were found, being the sports mega-events and the sustainability the most development sub-area or research, followed by the sport innovation for fostering inclusion. Moreover, for the development of this field of research, studies focused on “tourism” and “entrepreneurship” with “environment”, “sport”, “sustainability and knowledge” and “innovation” focus, are necessary. Thus, sustainable entrepreneurship and innovation in sport are an undeveloped but promising field for the future of the sports industry.

A abordagem territorial da náutica, desde uma perspectiva das instâncias sociais do espaço geográfico, consiste em uma proposta de análise que integra diferentes escalas espaciais e períodos temporais. Elevada a sistema técnico, esse objeto possibilita compreender as relações locais, em rede e globais. Os portos específicos para este fim são objetos técnicos centrais na investigação da náutica, desde suas primeiras expressões no litoral brasileiro, de uso popular, até as atuais características, de uso seletivo. Da vocação desportiva à promoção imobiliária e turística, tais objetos adquirem novas funções dentro do que se compreende por uso do território. Locais propensos às atividades náuticas requerem um arranjo de fatores ambientais, culturais, econômicos e políticos para evidenciar, nos dias de hoje, a forte relação simbólica e valorativa nos entornos urbanos – e periurbanos - em que estão inseridos os portos náuticos. Conclui-se que no uso náutico do território passa a predominar mais o caráter corporativo e organizacional do que banal e orgânico, como em sua gênese no Brasil.ABSTRACT:The territorial approach of nautical, from a perspective of the social instances of space, consists of a proposal of analysis that integrates different scales and periods. Understood as a technical system, this object makes it possible to understand local, regional and global relations. Ports for this purpose are fundamental technical objects in nautical research. From its earliest expressions on the Brazilian coast, from popular use to the current characteristics, selective use changes are observed. Starting from the sporting function for the valorization of real estate and tourism, these objects acquire new characteristics within what is understood by use of the territory. Places with a propensity for nautical activities require an arrangement of environmental, cultural, economic and political factors to highlight the symbolic and value relationship in the urban and periurban environments in which the nautical ports are inserted. It is concluded that the nautical use of the territory happens to predominate more to corporative and organizational than banal and organic, as in its genesis in Brazil.Keywords: Technical system; Use of the territory; Nautical ports.

PurposeThis article considers the possibilities of and barriers to socialising tourism after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Such an approach allows us to transform tourism and thereby evolve it to be of wider benefit and less damaging to societies and ecologies than has been the case under the corporatised model of tourism.Design/methodology/approachThis conceptual analysis draws on the theorisation of “tourism as a social force” and the new concept of “socialising tourism”. Using critical tourism approaches, it seeks to identify the dynamics that are evident in order to assess the possibilities for socialising tourism for social and ecological justice. It employs an Indigenous perspective that the past, present and future are interconnected in its consideration of tourism futures.FindingsCOVID-19 has fundamentally disrupted tourism, travel and affiliated industries. In dealing with the crisis, borders have been shut, lockdowns imposed and international tourism curtailed. The pandemic foregrounded the renewal of social bonds and social capacities as governments acted to prevent economic and social devastation. This disruption of normality has inspired some to envision radical transformations in tourism to address the injustices and unsustainability of tourism. Others remain sceptical of the likelihood of transformation. Indeed, phenomena such as vaccine privilege and vaccine tourism are indicators that transformations must be enabled. The authors look to New Zealand examples as hopeful indications of the ways in which tourism might be transformed for social and ecological justice.Practical implicationsThis conceptualisation could guide the industry to better stakeholder relations and sustainability.Social implicationsSocialising tourism offers a fruitful pathway to rethinking tourism through a reorientation of the social relations it fosters and thereby transforming its social impacts for the better.Originality/valueThis work engages with the novel concept of “socialising tourism”. In connecting this new theory to the older theory of “tourism as a social force”, this paper considers how COVID-19 has offered a possible transformative moment to enable more just and sustainable tourism futures.

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.

This master thesis deals with the topic of the so called Spanish economic miracle. It describes vast economic changes which started in the 1960s in Spain. The thesis offers a political context of dictatorship of Francisco Franco (1939-1975) and a review of economic development before and during this phenomenon (which is the most discussed). The economic boom is illustrated on an example of tourism. The thesis describes development of tourism and connection between tourism and the so called economic miracle.

Tourism has in recent years a significant growth in the economy, bringing repercussions on use of the territory. Hence the importance of discussing how the activity has been planned by public authorities and business, important actor in this process. Our objective is to analyze the corporative use of the territory Norte-Rio-Grandense by tourism, based on the renewal of geographical thought in Milton Santos and other authors coherent theory. Although planning is seen as a practice that incorporates various scientifics contributions is undeniable eminently geographical base, as it comes to relationshipsand process in the territory. The project Parque das Dunas/Via Costeira driving the development of tourism in Natal as to its construction, the city had a quality hotel infrastructure capable of receiving a greater number of tourists. One of the guiding instruments of state planning in accordance with the Federal Government is the Planejamento Pluri-Anual - PPA, which has the discourse territory, but establishes sectoral actions, which included tourism with the allocation of resources. In addition to receiving funds Prodetur I and II, since the early 1990s, these resources from the BIRD and other lines of funding available through federal financial institutions. Thus the sectoral action planning is disintegrated, while the territorial planning makes us think the whole moving and complexity Our data policies and public and private investments, we proved that the action of companies in line with the state, favors the hegemonic agents, or the corporative use of the territory Norte-Rio-Grandense
O turismo apresenta nos ?ltimos anos um significativo crescimento na economia, expresso no uso do territ?rio. Da?, a import?ncia de discutir como a atividade vem sendo planejada atrav?s do poder p?blico e das empresas, agentes importantes deste processo. Nosso objetivo ? analisar o uso corporativo do territ?rio Norte-Rio-Grandense pelo turismo, com base na renova??o do pensamento geogr?fico em Milton Santos e demais autores coerentes a sua teoria. Embora, o planejamento seja visto como uma pr?tica que incorpora diferentes aportes cient?ficos ? ineg?vel sua base eminentemente geogr?fica, pois se trata de rela??es e processos realizados no territ?rio. O projeto Parque das Dunas/Via Costeira impulsionou o desenvolvimento do turismo na cidade de Natal j? que com a sua constru??o, a cidade passou a ter infraestrutura hoteleira de qualidade capaz de receber um maior n?mero de turistas. Um dos instrumentos orientadores do planejamento estadual em conformidade com o Governo Federal ? o Planejamento Pluri-Anual PPA, o qual tem como discurso o territ?rio, mas estabelece a??es setoriais, sendo o turismo contemplado com a dota??o de recursos. Al?m de receber recursos provenientes do BIRD atrav?s do PRODETUR I e II, desde o in?cio da d?cada de 1990, al?m de outras linhas de financiamento dispon?veis atrav?s das institui??es financeiras federais. Assim, a a??o setorial do planejamento ? desintegrada, enquanto o planejamento territorial nos faz pensar a totalidade em movimento e sua complexidade. Diante dos dados de pol?ticas e investimentos p?blicos e privados, comprovamos que a a??o das empresas em conson?ncia com o Estado, favorece os agentes hegem?nicos, ou seja, o uso corporativo do territ?rio Norte-Rio-Grandense

Despite the severe limitations of the Occupation, many in France continued to take vacations and tour. The Vichy government encouraged touring in rural France to discover the French “soul.” Chosen as provisional capital, Vichy itself was a spa resort with large hotels. A weekly magazine, Paris Programmes, covered theaters, cinemas, restaurants, concerts, museums, and other tourist sites. Pilgrimages to religious shrines and to sites related to Napoleon also characterized the Occupation years. Many in France retained pleasant memories of these experiences, encouraging them to tour in larger numbers after the war. Inspired by corporatist economic ideology, Vichy established regional committees for tourism and associated local organizations that in the words of one observer "transformed" its tourism infrastructure.

When Bernstein arrived in Japan in 1979, the global landscape of classical music was undergoing major transformations. Japan and South Korea were important producers and consumers of classical music, as reflected in the Philharmonic’s itinerary. Japan’s seemingly unrivaled technological and industrial power was symbolized by Sony’s release of the Walkman, which made the company’s name a household word around the globe. CBS/Sony played a central role in Bernstein’s tour, marking a clear contrast with Bernstein’s earlier Japan tours, which were led by government interests. To navigate the changing classical music market, Amberson further corporatized its operations, shaping and guarding the maestro’s image while propelling his reach far beyond the United States.
