Full textDenna studie har som syfte att belysa individers motiv och val att besöka pop-kultursrelaterade attraktioner och destinationer. Pop-kultur i denna uppsats syftar till populära produkter såsom tvspel, serietidningar, litteratur, film och tv-serier. Pop-kultursturism syftar till destinationer och attraktioner som är baserade på de sistnämnda vilket kan vara konventioner, event, utställningar, temaparker eller destinationer. Till denna studie har en kvalitativ ansats tillämpats för att besvara uppsatsens syfte och frågeställningar genom att utföra semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Intervjuerna analyserades sedan genom fyra olika teorier; Bourdieu’s teorier om kapital, fält och habitus samt Lundberg och Lexhagens modell “Pop-culture Tourism: A Research model”. Resultaten visade att exponering av pop-kultur i respondenternas uppväxt, sociala umgängen och (sociala) mediekonsumtion spelade en central roll i konsumtionen och deltagandet av pop-kultursturism. Resultaten visade även att kulturellt kapital (ett intresse av en viss pop-kulturell produkt) och socialt kapital (individens habitus) var betydande för individer som deltar i pop-kultursturism.

Full textSpeaking of tourism is in vogue today, especially that we are experiencing the same state of development, tourism study has several interfaces that can be: culture, heritage and cultural tourism as well as a mode of existing tourism. Tourism a recent phenomenon with multiple interpretations, which cover various sciences such as anthropology, psychology and administration. Cultural tourism, an alternative form of tourism that should be developed in a sustainable manner so as not to exhaust the local, not to rob and not to extinguish the attractions of the place. But it occurs to cultural tourism is necessary that the local population has not only material assets and, yes, intangible assets, which can distinguish between the sites that have similar heritage matters. It should have traditions, values and histories, or that their culture is the cornerstone for the existence and maintenance of cultural tourism site. Make an analysis of tourism resources of Pirenopolis in order to identify them, in order to turn them into tourist products, and thus sustainably use. The analysis uses a resource study of the tourism system, the SWOT analysis and ultimately will be made to the methodology of inventory that will identify the current capabilities and potential of the site so you can use them sustainably.
Falar de turismo hoje está em moda, principalmente que estamos vivenciando o desenvolvimento do mesmo do Estado, estudar o turismo apresenta várias interfaces que podem ser: a cultura, o patrimônio cultural e, também o turismo cultural que uma modalidade de turismo existente. Turismo um fenômeno recente com várias interpretações, por abranger diversas ciências como antropologia, administração e psicologia. O turismo cultural, uma forma alternativa de turismo, que deve ser desenvolvido de maneira sustentável para não esgotar o local, não depredar e não extinguir os atrativos do local. Mas para que ocorra turismo cultural é necessário que a população local tenha não só patrimônios materiais e, sim, patrimônios imateriais, que podem fazer a diferenciação dos locais que possuem patrimônios matérias parecidos. Tem que possuir tradições, valores e folclores, ou seja, a sua cultura que é o diferencial para a existência e manutenção do turismo cultural local. Fazer uma análise dos recursos turísticos de Pirenópolis, a fim de identificá-los, com o intuito de transformálos em produtos turísticos e, consequentemente, utilizar de maneira sustentável. A analise dos recursos utilizará um estudo do sistema turístico, da análise SWOT e, por fim, será feito à metodologia de inventário que identificará os recursos atuais e potencias do local para que se possa utilizá-los de maneira sustentável.

Full textTourism is one of the world's largest industries. Tourism is an attractive tool for economic development, specifically in the developing world. As competition between tourism destinations increases, local culture is becoming and increasingly valuable source of new productsand activities to attract and amuse tourists. Gastronomy has a particularly important role to play in this, not only because food is central to the tourist experience, but also because gastronomy has become a significant source of identity formation in postmodern societies. The present research relies on this latter argument to discuss the influence of food consumption on country or destination identification. Notably, how does food consumption have gained growing interrest in the strategy of tourism development ? Does a destination's gastronomy contribute to the tourist's quality of experiences while visiting the destination ? How can a host country connect food, cultural identity and tourist attraction ? What are the expected benefits in termes of cultural entities from opening up to tourism ?

Thesis, Halmstad University, School of Business and Engineering (SET), 2008. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hh:diva-1116.
Full textThe purpose of this study is to investigate promotion within the tourism industry on the Gold Coast, Australia, focusing on tourism companies’ promotional efforts on the Japanese market. The aim is to answer the question ‘How can Australian tourism companies effectively promote themselves on the Japanese market?’ through five specific research objectives: (1) to get a better understanding of tourism- and attraction marketing, (2) to get familiar with the characteristics of the Japanese tourist and their travel patterns, (3) to investigate which factors in regards to culture, are influencing the tourism companies’ promotion in Japan, (4) to identify critical success factors for successful promotion of Australian tourism companies on the Japanese market, and (5) to identify similarities and differences between small and large companies when it comes to tourism promotion on the Japanese market.
A variety of secondary data, including well-known theories and models were studied and presented in addition to a qualitative study investigating four tourism companies. It is found that the numbers of Japanese tourists to the Gold Coast has decreased over the last decade, much due to macro factors such as changes in aviation and exchange rates, and increased competition from short-haul destinations. However, Japan still represents a main international interest, which makes it crucial for tourism companies to be familiar with the characteristics of the Japanese tourist and their travel patterns. It becomes evident that Japanese tourists have changed over the last years, and findings show that existing cultural frameworks are inadequate to describe the Japanese culture and tourist. Our empirical results show that cultural adaptations are not as extensive as suggested by theory and that the main cultural adjustments are made in language. In addition, it is important to consider the Japanese have higher expectations of service, and are long-term planners.
It is further found that promotional efforts in Japan do not differ greatly from how they promote their companies in Australia. The most important difference in this industry, however, is the power of the Japanese inbound wholesalers or travel agents (the trade), which highly determines promotional efforts. Such relationships are vital, as the Japanese still book their holiday trough traditional channels.
Hence, the most effective promotional tool is found to be wholesalers travel brochures. The power of the trade renders Internet promotion less important, as companies are advised to make use of the wholesalers’ more sophisticated websites. Moreover, publicity is found to be essential promotional tool, including celebrity endorsement, travel TV programs, travel books, and piggybacking on local events. Finally, great benefits can be gained by participating in intra-destination collaboration. When it comes to similarities and differences between small and large tourism companies’ promotion on the Japanese market, it is found that these differences are not as large as we had expected much due to the importance of the trade.

Full textBrazil receives around 6 (six) million foreign tourists every year. The majority come from Europe (30,67%), Latin America (28,09%) and United States (14,38%). Considering Oriental countries, Japan is responsible for the biggest emission, with 1.3% or 75,000 tourists . Despite these impressive numbers, Brazil represents 0,59% regarding the worldwide tourist movement. There is therefore a wide field of action in the worldwide tourism where Brazil still has not performed a paper of international "player". The objective of the present research is to provide a better understanding of the motivations that lead a tourist to visit Brazil nowadays, as well as his/her final perception of the visit. The question " Why people travel to Brazil?" is complex, involving as well as cultural aspects, transport, tourist equipment availability, distance, motivation and other economic considerations. The expression that summarize these issues could be " tourist journey experience . There is a prominent fact to be considered: A high number of foreign tourists return to Brazil, after their first visit. In 2006, a research performed by Embratur showed that 64% of the tourists interviewed had already visited the country at least once, proving a high ability of fidelization of the Brazilian receptive. The reasons for that fidelity, how it works, and the final image that the foreign tourist builds of Brazil, is the focus of the present research. Carnival has been chosen as the core issue, because it is the preferred period to visit Brazil, being therefore responsible for Brazilian image abroad. We brought up the following hypotheses: 1) Carnival is a positive inductor for Brazilian tourism. It appears as Brazilian exclusivity, contributing, for the recognition of Brazil as an important tourist destination in the present world. 2) In the big majority of time barely the Carnival recognition, the Brazilian Carnival diversity is little known. In the majority of cases, regarding foreigners visiting Brazil for the first time, the only recognized Carnival is the one from Rio de Janeiro. The others, celebrated in Brazilian Northeast and country sides areas, are postponed for a second visit. The interviews with foreign tourists took place during Carnival periods in the following cities: Ouro Preto, Olinda/Recife and Rio de Janeiro. They were the main issue to delineate and analyze the image they build of Brazil and its Carnival, which is after all, one of the biggest spontaneous street festivities in the world
O Brasil recebe cerca de 6 (seis) milhões de turistas estrangeiros por ano. A grande maioria vem da Europa (30,67%), América Latina (28,09%) ou Estados Unidos (14,38). O primeiro país emissor oriental, com 1,3% ou 75.000 turistas é o Japão. Apesar de números impressionantes, em relação ao movimento turístico mundial o Brasil representa apenas 0,59%. Existe assim um amplo campo de ação no turismo mundial onde o Brasil ainda não desempenha um papel de player , ou jogador internacional. O objetivo do presente trabalho é um melhor entendimento sobre as motivações que levam um turista a visitar o Brasil atualmente, assim como a percepção final do turista acerca de sua visita. A questão porque as pessoas viajam para o Brasil é bem complexa, envolvendo aspectos culturais, bem como transporte, disponibilidade de equipamentos turísticos, distância, motivação e considerações econômicas. A isso tudo, chamamos de experiência de viagem do turista . Há um fato relevante a ser considerado: a taxa de retorno após a visita do turista ao Brasil é alta. Em 2006, 64% dos turistas entrevistados pela pesquisa Embratur já haviam visitado o país pelo menos uma vez. Isso demonstra uma alta capacidade de fidelização do receptivo brasileiro. O porquê dessa fidelização, como ela se dá, além da imagem final que o turista estrangeiro tem sobre o Brasil, são os focos da pesquisa em questão. Por ser um dos grandes responsáveis pela imagem do Brasil no exterior, além de ser o período com mais visitas de turistas estrangeiros, definimos o Carnaval foco da pesquisa. Levantamos as seguintes hipóteses: 1) O Carnaval é um indutor positivo do turismo brasileiro. Ele destaca-se como uma exclusividade do país, contribuindo, a partir de sua imagem, para o reconhecimento do Brasil como um destino turístico importante no mundo atual. 2) Apesar desse reconhecimento, a diversidade do Carnaval Brasileiro ainda é pouco conhecida. Na grande maioria das vezes apenas o Carnaval Carioca é reconhecido pelo turista estrangeiro que visita o país pela primeira vez, ficando os Carnavais Nordestinos e do interior do país para uma segunda viagem. As entrevistas com turistas estrangeiros ocorreram nas cidades de Ouro Preto, Olinda/Recife e Rio de Janeiro, em períodos de Carnaval. Com isso delineamos e analisamos a imagem do Brasil e de seu Carnaval, uma das maiores festividades espontâneas de rua do mundo, a partir dos olhares dos turistas estrangeiros em visita ao Brasil nesse período

Full textThis report is the result of the course, Environment and Development in the South, at University of Södertörn in Stockholm, Sweden. The report is about “new tourism” especially community-based tourism (CBT) and socio-cultural aspects relating to tourism. It is based on a literature study and a three weeks field course in Babati district in Northern Tanzania. The aim of this study is to describe how host peoples (communities) get affected especially, socio-culturally, by tourism. The aim is also to describe new tourism (especially CBT). A case-study of a Swedish student excursion to Babati is used as an example of how it affects a community (especially socio-cultural aspects) and if it qualifies as CBT.
The theory of the study is based on sustainable development (especially socio-cultural aspects) supported by the rules of World Tourism Organization (WTO) and United Nation Environmental Program (UNEP). The theory is connected to the principles of CBT and used in the analysis to judge if the Swedish student excursion qualifies as CBT.
The results show that the Swedish student excursion is in line with important principles of CBT, and therefore also in line with sustainable local development in some way. The major advantage with the excursion is the cross-cultural learning and the major problem is jealousness of benefit sharing according to the interviews done.

The culture tourism spot has become popular tourist site and attracts tourists to visit in many countries worldwide. Tourists can recall and better understand history and culture by visiting culture tourism spots, where record predecessors’ life styles and the values of politics and culture. Therefore, visiting culture tourism spot is a travel experience that pursues culture education and real historic memories. In order to tangibilize travel experiences, the purchase of souvenirs is a major tourist activity. Souvenir selling has thus become an important part of travel revenues. However, despite the importance of souvenirs in tourism industry, there is a lack of empirical research regarding the product attritube and purchase motivation of culture tourism spot souvenirs . Although early and recent souvenirs studies provided rich and useful information, they did not examine the specific issues in our research. Consequently, the objective of this study is to explore the reasons why tourists purchase souvenir at culture tourism spot in terms of their purchase motivations and product attributes preferences In order to achieve this goal, an in-depth interview was conducted. A total of 16 respondents (2 souvenir manufacturers, 3 souvenir vendors, and 10 general consumers) participated in the in-depth interview. The average time of in-depth interview was 69.74 minutes. A member check method was also adopted to evaluate the reliability and accuracy of interview data. Moreover, a content analysis method was used to analyze the interview data. A total of 17 attributes of souvenir product preference and 30 souvenir purchase motivation were generated from the analysis. The judge A and B’s intrajudge were 0.982 and 0.983 respectively, and the Judge C’s interjudge reliability was 0.971 and 0.974 respectively, thus the content analysis process is reliable. In the quantitative part, 173 samples were collected for the pre-test, and 1067 examples were obtained to establish the stability of this scale. Based on the findings of this study, 10 dimensions of the souvenirs product attributes and 18 purchase motivation were obtained in this study, validity by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). This study also exhibited discriminant validity.

Tea culture has been one of the most important representative cultures in Taiwan. However, due to changing times and people’s lifestyles, the traditional sales methods of tea shops cannot satisfy the growing market demand. In order to promote a better development in the future, the government of Taiwan and people in the tea business have recently been cooperating to arrange various tea culture experiencing activities, designed to inspire domestic and foreign tourists to further develop the market. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the experiential value of tea culture and to determine whether or not traditional tea culture can be combined with hands-on tea cultivation tourist activities or not. Available literature helped the researcher to learn more about the context and the situation of the tea industry. The research places focus on central Taiwan, a region that is mainly engaged in tea culture experiencing activities. The subjects involved in the study are 15 domestic and international visitors who have already participated in hands-on tea-cultivation tourist activities. I adopted interviews and e-mails for purposes of data collection, and followed up by transcribing the interviews and sending the full texts to subjects by e-mail to allow respondents to confirm that the content is correct before analyzing the data. The results show that the activities that most interested the subjects are experiencing tea harvesting, processing and tea-brewing activities. The local cultural characteristics provide the visitors with feelings of having undergone a unique and authentic rural experience. These activities also can promote and differentiate between these hands-on tea culture activities and other tourist attractions. In the study, there are many aspects of the traditional tea industry could be improved upon are also found, such as promotional aspects, which are underemphasized. Tea products should be more diverse, and tea culture should be combined with hands-on tourist opportunities to increase their cost-effectiveness and experiential value. The tourists also hope to increase the educational nature of professional billboards to enrich tea culture experiences and enhance the value of participating in them. Based on these findings, this study not only gives some suggestions for tea shop owners and related entities, but also proposes some suggestions for future research.

Volunteer tourism is spreading internationally; it is very different to mass tourism. Volunteer tourism provides alternative opportunities for tourists. In addition to the participation of altruism-oriented activities, volunteer tourists increasingly focus on the “egoism” for personal self-growth or/and personal self-actualization. Developing volunteer tourism can bring positive impacts to both the host community and tourists because volunteer tourists stay and interact longer with residents in a community. Volunteer tourism development has become increasingly popular in Taiwan, but academic studies are still rare. Hence, in this study the culture impacts on both volunteer tourists and local residents, as well as the appropriateness for volunteer tourism development in Taiwan were discussed and analysed. Grounded theory was used in this study to analyze the international volunteer tourists’ experiences in Tai-Xi Township, Yun-Lin County, Taiwan. Study participators were chosen by purposive sampling until theoretical saturation had been done. Total of 10 participators were interviewed (5 volunteer tourists and 5 local residents, respectively) through semi-structural questions. Based on the follow-up analysis for volunteer tourists and local community residents after their “reception” and “participation”, the problem was re-defined to conduct the related theory of volunteer tourism. The findings showed that the culture impacts on volunteer tourists are related to prior preparation, motivation and expectation, host community and coordinating organization. The benefits for volunteer tourists include experiencing different cultures, learning new things, gaining unforgettable memories, self-fulfillment and sense of accomplishments, and meeting new friends and helping others. However, the negative impacts include facing adaptation for climate, different eating habits, and language barrier and limitation on social network. The positive impacts for local residents include learning and exchanging cultures, gaining global perspectives and knowledge, and increasing their own culture identity. Nevertheless, the local residents still have negative impacts such as uneasiness due to different habit and language barrier.
