Abstract:
This article forms part of series of comparative studies dealing with tourist guidebooks to the memorials of various former concentration camps in Germany published years ago during the GDR era and today. The authors substantiate the need to consider the former concentration camp memorial guidebook as an independent kind of genre identifying both functions for the memorial guidebook and inappropriate functions and underlying the need to expand the usual genre functionality of the guidebook. A new group of tourist guidebooks has been introduced. These are guidebooks of so-called places of traumatic memory as the former Nazi concentration camps can be considered. These guidebooks form homogeneous group among a vast variety of tourist guidebooks.

Abstract:
Abstract Both E. M. Forster’s A Room with a View (1908) and Charles Dickens’s Little Dorrit (1855–1857) satirize British guidebook users, depicting them as mindless followers rather than as individual explorers of foreign landscapes. Series by John Murray and Baedeker dominated the landscape of Victorian travel, and scholars have pointed out that while mainstream guidebooks made foreign tourism more accessible for the middle class, they also presented travel as a heavily prescriptive and systematic endeavour, one that often sheltered British travellers from an encounter with foreignness. This article extends our understanding of the Victorian guidebook’s legacy by examining three Anglo-American guidebooks for women travelling to Paris – Mary Abbot’s A Woman’s Paris (1900), Elizabeth Otis Williams’ Sojourning, Shopping, and Studying in Paris (1907), and Alice M. Ivimy’s A Woman’s Guide to Paris (1909). It suggests that these fin-de-siècle women’s guidebooks emerged as a critique both of mainstream guidebooks’ prescriptive approach to foreign travel and of the narrow interests to which they catered. This article shows how, in actively resisting the genre’s emphasis on uniformity and expediency, guidebooks for women instead privileged spontaneous discovery, personal interest, and an encounter with the Parisian culture and landscape. In doing so, it seeks to reformulate our understanding of women’s travel narratives and of the cultural legacy of Victorian guidebooks.

Abstract:
Travel guidebooks play an important role in tourism as an information source. They not only give practical information but also cultural information. However, this latter aspect of guidebooks has barely been researched. Guidebook authors can choose to write about any aspects of a country's national culture, but we do not seem to know which aspects they chose to write about—that is, how comprehensive the guidebooks' depictions of culture are. In order to establish the comprehensiveness of contemporary guidebooks, a framework of cultural categories is developed based on theories about culture and intercultural communication. The method is content analysis of document data. In the empirical part of the study, three guidebooks about Denmark are examined quantitatively in order to establish how comprehensive their representation of the cultural values and cultural behavior categories of Denmark is. Based on the criteria set, travel guidebooks cannot be considered comprehensive. Readers should be aware that guidebooks only give a partial view of a destination's culture. With the increased availability of online hotel and restaurant resources for tourists, the publishers of travel guidebooks could expand the sections on national culture. This will increase readers' experiential value of the guidebooks and give guidebooks a competitive edge, whether the guidebooks are printed or digital.

Abstract:
This analysis explores the imageries of Lake Balaton and its region created by guidebooks and other publications of early tourism. These works refer to certain elements of the cultural and literary traditions related to the lake. The paper also identifi es the most emphatic elements of these traditions in the guidebook genre. Consequently, the analysis demonstrates how Hungarian literary history narratives and cults represented in guidebooks defi ned the complex touristic imagination of Lake Balaton’s region. Firstly, a typology of the guidebooks and the evolution of this genre in the 19th century are outlined. Secondly, the paper shows a detailed analysis and interpretation of a Balaton guidebook by Aladár Jalsovics from 1878.

Abstract:
This study aims to describe the implementation of the Buddhist Religious Education and Moral Education teacher's guidebooks in three schools (high school, junior high school, and elementary school) in the Gangga District, North Lombok. Another objective is to identify the constraints or challenges in implementing these teacher's guidebooks and to find solutions or strategies to enhance their usage. The research employs a qualitative approach using interview, observation, and documentation as instruments. Data analysis is conducted using the Miles and Huberman model through data condensation, display, and conclusion drawing or verification stages. The results indicate that the implementation of the teacher's guidebooks in the three schools has been effective. Proficient teachers have successfully applied the guidebooks, which contain learning steps, objectives, and functions. Nevertheless, the usage of these guidebooks still faces challenges. Insufficient teacher's guidebook and student textbook facilities in schools, uneven book distribution from the government, and inadequacies in the content of the teacher's guidebooks are notable hindrances in the learning process. Therefore, solutions or strategies are needed to enhance the use of the Buddhist Religious Education and Moral Education teacher's guidebooks. Possible solutions or strategies involve increasing support from schools, the Education Office, and the government in monitoring the distribution of teacher's guidebooks and student textbooks. Subject Teacher Professional Development (STPD) could organize training related to teacher's guidebooks through workshops, seminars, panel discussions, symposiums, and workshops.

Abstract:
<p>Learning motivation greatly affects student success in receiving lessons and greatly impacts the improvement of student learning outcomes. This study aims to produce a guidebook design, determine the validity of the content, know the practicality, and test the effectiveness of cognitive behavior counseling guidebooks with bibliocounseling techniques to increase the motivation to learn junior high school students. The method used is research and development (research and development) with a 4D model (Four D) developed by Thiagarajan (1974) which is limited to content validation testing. Three experts and five counselling guidance practitioners were involved to assess the feasibility of the guidebook. Test the validity of the contents of the guidebook using the content validity ratio (CVR) and content validity index (CVI) of Lawshe (1975). The analytical technique used to test the effectiveness of cognitive behavior counseling guidebooks with bibliocounseling techniques to increase student learning motivation is using Posttest – Only Control Group Design. The design of this shape uses a comparison, grouping is done randomly and no pre-test is held. The results of this study show that (1) produce cognitive behavior counseling guidebooks with bibliocounseling techniques to increase the motivation to learn junior high school students. (2) The results of the CVR analysis obtained a value of 24.7 and a CVI value of 0.88, this shows that the guidebook is valid. (3) The practical test of the guidebook on the assessment of 5 guidance and counseling practitioners obtained an average score of 89% (practical), which means that this guidebook is practical for use by guidance and counseling teachers. (4) The effectiveness of the guidebook obtained the values of the experimental group and the control group Sig. (2-tailed) 0.000 &lt; 0.05. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the implementation of cognitive behavior counseling guidebooks with bibliocounseling techniques is effective in increasing the motivation to learn junior high school students.</p>

Abstract:
Historical tourism resources are one of the comparative and comparative advantages of Bandung city over other tourist destinations in Indonesia. The unique characteristic of historical tourism is that the power of narratives poses a broader need for means of interpretation in the form of travel guides. By applying the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), this applied research reveals the process of designing electronic guidebooks that can aim to be used for the interpretation of historical tourism visitors in The City of Bandung. The design method with a descriptive writing pattern is used to produce research reports on the design of electronic guidebook products in Bandung. This applied study has gathered opinions from 132 respondents through questionnaires about the components of travel guidebooks following the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) concept, which is then analyzed descriptively. This applied research has resulted in a travel guidebook product and an understanding that tourists require accessible travel guidebooks to use and value for themselves.

Abstract:
Former guidebooks are an important category of historical source that allows for the reconstruction of many aspects of the history of tourism. The dynamic development of guidebook literature began in the 19th century when a modern type with descriptions according to routes and containing much practical information was developed. The guidebooks also presented a lot of other information of a general nature, such as geography, ethnology, natural science, as well as descriptions of monuments and works of art. The importance of Polish guidebooks for writing about art is very high yet underestimated. The aim of this paper is to define the role that these publications played in the field of artistic historiography, and to indicate the relationships between the guidebooks and the development of academic research on art. These problems are undoubtedly an interesting area of interdisciplinary relation between the historical development of tourism and academia, with a particular focus on art history in this case.

Abstract:
By the dawn of the twentieth century, a guidebook was a vital element of a tourist’s packing list and an item, which a tourist could not do without. The guidebook not only provided practical and useful information, but also advised the tourist about what ‘ought to be seen’. It accompanied the development and maturation of modern tourism and witnessed an explosion in the second half of the 19th century and after. The guidebook was gradually improved, highly commercialized, popularized, and extended to many parts of the world and somehow managed to impose ‘beaten tracks’ on tourists. Similarly, the guidebook accompanied European colonial schemes, served as a tool for them and reflected their agendas and the mindset of the age. This paper is based on a large number of French and English guidebooks spanning approximately the period between the mid-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and addresses the following questions: when and how was North Africa included in the tourist guidebook literature? What visions did the guidebook provide of the region? How far did the guidebooks contribute to placing North Africa in the global tourist networks and with what effect?

Abstract:
Climbing guidebooks have been in existence ever since people started climbing cliffs for recreation. It has only been recently that these guidebooks have started to include photographs to help identification of climbs. To date, there are very few interactive guidebooks that are available online which include the ability to filter climbs and climbing areas based upon specific characteristics. Being able to interrogate a database of climbs and climbing areas by grade, style of climbing, quality of climbing,and length of climbs would be a significant addition to the guidebooks that are currently available. Integrating a fully illustrated database of climbs with open source mapping software such as Google Maps would extend the utility of current guidebooks significantly. As portable devices become more commonplace, the ability to further combine these guidebooks with GPS technology would make the location and identification of climbs much simpler. This study compares conventional hardcopy guidebooks with several online guidebooks. In addition, several Decision Support Systems are analysed to assess the ways in which Geographic Information Systems are integrated to assist in decision making. A prototype interactive guidebook was developed after presenting a survey to a group of climbers to assess what they would find useful in an online resource. This survey found that most climbers would like to see climbs represented on a map of the climbing site in order to aid in locating them. They also suggested that being able to filter climbs by various criteria would be useful. These features were subsequently integrated into the prototype. After review by several climbers it was found that this system has many benefits over conventional hardcopy guidebooks; however, it was also noted that to be even more useful further work needed to be done to improve the functionality of the prototypes. This work would include an ability to print a selection of climbs from those ranges searched.

Full text
Abstract:
During the eighteenth century a trend began for the publication of books devoted to the description of single country house; an early stage in the development of the country house guidebook. A survey of this largely unanalysed genre found it to be a much larger phenomenon than had previously been thought, with a peak in new publications later than has been suggested. The issue of the commission, details of production and uses and distribution of the guidebook are all previously neglected aspects of research. Analysis of these has given a greater insight into the context of production, and has shown the direct involvement of the house owner in many cases. In the secondary literature which does exist on this genre, the bias towards considering the contents of guidebook from the perspective of the tourists' reception, or as an objective document, neglects the huge potential for analysis of the sub-agendas which were involved in these publications. These less overt potential messages included a justification of the country estate in general, as well as more individual markers which related to the house owner himself. This thesis has begun to rectify the lack of research into the guidebook, and to highlight this fruitful source of material on the eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries. It has begun the innovative task of looking beyond guidebooks as merely a factual account of the estate, and to acknowledge that their objectivity is in question; the books were often nuanced towards given a particular impression and motivated by specific agendas. The house was represented both as an object of admiration in its own right but also used as a vehicle for the projection and display of the individual qualities and identity of the owner.

Abstract:
Guidebooks are argued to be significant elements of the tourism infrastructure (Koshar, 1998), influencing the perception of destinations and the travel practices of millions of tourists (Gilbert, 1999). Guidebooks have been depicted as mediators, interpreters, and communicators of place and people, yet the examination of these texts as part of tourism has received little attention in the academic literature. There are few studies focusing on what information guidebooks are presenting to tourists (Bhattacharyya, 1997; Lew, 1991; McGregor, 2000).

In pursuit of cultural, environmental, and leisure experiences, tourists are going all over the world and there is increasing concern over the economic, socio-cultural, and environmental impacts of this activity. Information on these impacts can be found in academic literature and government reports, but rarely is it presented to tourists.

The purpose of this study is to analyse and describe how travel guidebooks communicate information on socio-cultural, environmental, and other destination specific issues. The republic of Peru was the case study area for this research.

Destination data was collected through interviews with tourism representatives in Perú, Destination Management Organisation (DMO) website analysis, and participant observation. This data was analysed to provide a coding scheme for the current issues and impacts in Peru relating to tourism. This coding scheme was used to analyse the content of the most commonly used commercial guidebooks for Peru (Lonely Planet, South American Handbook, Rough Guide) to understand if and how guidebooks are addressing current issues in Peru tourism.

Qualitative content analysis of destination data resulted in 29 emergent categories which were evaluated based on theme distributions (socio-cultural, environmental, and other) and source information. Categories were grouped based on importance values to allow for further examination of the main issues and impacts involved in Peru tourism.

Qualitative analysis of guidebook content resulted in 4 additional categories for a total of 33 items. This was followed by quantitative analysis of guidebook content to better understand theme distributions, statement types, marketing communication types, and relationships with original category intentions. Guidebook content was organised into groups based on importance values and compared with the importance groups found in the destination data to determine differences in category relevance.

The implications of this research in presenting information to tourists are discussed in terms of their relevance to socio-cultural and environmental interpretation, marketing and communication theory, and responsible tourism. Similarities and differences found in comparing destination and guidebook data are examined. Findings and discussions based on this research indicate that the role of the guidebook is multi-dimensional. These texts, juxtaposed between host and guest, mediate and interpret ecological, cultural, and social information. Findings of this research suggest that though guidebooks are involved in persuasive messaging which raises issues of power and representation, guidebooks are the only popular tourist information source in Peru attempting to influence tourists to reduce cultural and environmental impacts. This discussion is followed by suggestions for future research in this area.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the representations of Wales in German-, French- and Dutch-language travel guidebooks published between 1850 and 2013. The analysis focuses on the conceptualisation of the country in these texts within the framework of ‘imaginative peripheries’. This framework is mainly based on the work of Edward Said and his model of ‘imaginative geographies’, which examines the perception of spaces through texts and discourses. In the thesis it is asserted that guidebooks have the power to significantly influence tourists’ views of a destination, thus affecting the socio-spatial construction of the area in question. The thesis scrutinises how Wales is conceptualised as a cultural, linguistic, ethnographic, historical, geographical and political entity and how these representations influence the country’s spatial realisation in the texts. In conclusion it is argued that during the course of the centuries under examination, Wales has been increasingly recognised as a distinct entity, but has simultaneously been moved to the periphery on a textual and conceptual level. Finally, these shifts not only provide insights into the way Wales is perceived in overseas travel guidebooks, but also reflect broader discourses concerning the changing balance of power in our globalising world.

Les guies turístiques impreses son una font excepcional d’informació per a futurs turistes. Aquests llibres proporcionen consells, suggeriments, pistes, recomanacions i molt més per a que el viatger pugui entendre el Destí i són, per tant, un mediador entre el visitant i el lloc visitat. Les guies turístiques impreses donen forma a l’experiència turística al interpretar el Destí i, fent-lo, donen forma també al Destí. En temps en que turistes corren cap a Internet buscant per informació sempre canviat com si visquéssim en un món Orwellià on els fets d’ahir ja no existeixen, les guies en paper són crucials per a un estudi longitudinal perquè la Imatge del Destí Turístic (IDT) que elles tenen de qualsevol lloc dura allò que duren les seves pàgines. La meva recerca pretén entendre com una IDT canvia al llarg del temps i, per fer-ho, utilitzo el Mètode de la Teoria Fonamentada (MTF) per a tal de recollir dades de diverses guies turístiques de diferents èpoques i determinar com la imatge canvia al llarg del temps. La recerca està construïda sobre una revisió de la literatura actual en Geografia, Autenticitat i, és clar, Turisme. El meu estudi de cas es Barcelona i he seleccionat 13 guies turístiques impreses des de 1888 –l’any de la primera Exposició Universal– fins a 2016. Degut a la immensa quantitat de dades i la fragilitat d’algunes guies, utilitzo el software d’anàlisis de dades qualitatius assistida per ordinador ATLAS.ti per a ajudar-me amb la codificació, recodificació, visualització, recuperació i anàlisi dels llibres. La recerca en Turisme es coneguda per dependre fortament de teories i mètodes d’altres camps per a entendre els intricats problemes del fenomen. Tant treballar amb guies turístiques com aplicar el MTF a la recerca en Turisme són maneres innovadores de proveir el tòpic amb els seus propis marcs de referència i pot ajudar a desenvolupar nous paradigmes, teories y pràctiques per al fenomen. La recerca conclou que utilitzar guies turístiques impreses com font de dades per a analitzar la IDT de Barcelona és un mètode vàlid i pot ser reproduït en altres Destins; que Barcelona ha tingut diverses IDTs al llarg de la seva història com a Destí Turístic i que la que experimentem avui és només la més recent; que un estudi longitudinal a través del MTF enquadrat per una recerca d’Estudi de Cas és una mena vàlida d’entendre l’evolució de la IDT d’un Destí; que la història del Destí influeix en la seva IDT; que la imatge Fonamentada (Grounded image) de Barcelona ha canviat d’acord amb les tendències de cada període de la seva història, però que la seva imatge de Densitat (Density image) s’ha mantingut estable enfocant-se al Barri Gòtic. Per fi, aquesta Tesi presenta alguns tòpics per a recerques futures.

Las guías turísticas impresas moldan la experiencia del turista al interpretar el Destino y, al hacerlo, moldan el Destino también. En tiempos en que turistas corren a Internet buscando por informaciones siempre cambiantes como si viviéramos en un mundo Orwelliano donde los hechos de ayer desaparecen, las guías en papel son cruciales para un estudio longitudinal porque la Imagen del Destino Turístico (IDT) que tienen de cualquier lugar dura lo tanto que duran sus páginas. Mi investigación aspira a entender cómo una IDT cambia a lo largo del tiempo y, para ello, empleo el Método de la Teoría Fundamentada (MTF) para recoger datos de diversas guías turísticas de diferentes épocas y determinar cómo la imagen cambia a lo largo del tiempo. La investigación está construida sobre una revisión de la literatura actual en Geografía, Autenticidad y, por supuesto, Turismo. Mi estudio de caso es Barcelona y he elegido 13 guías turísticas impresas de 1888 –el año de la primera Exposición Universal– hasta 2016. Debido a la inmensa cantidad de datos y la fragilidad de algunas de las guías, utilizo el software de análisis de datos cualitativos asistida por ordenador ATLAS.ti para ayudarme con la codificación, recodificación, visualización, recuperación y análisis de los libros. La investigación en Turismo es conocida por depender fuertemente de teorías y métodos de otros campos para entender los problemas intricados del fenómeno. Tanto trabajar con guías turísticas como aplicar el MTF en la investigación en Turismo son manera innovadora de abastecer el tópico con sus propios marcos de referencia y puede ayudar a desarrollar nuevos paradigmas, teorías y prácticas para el fenómeno. La investigación concluye que usar guías turísticas impresas como fuente de datos para analizar la IDT de Barcelona es un método válido y puede ser reproducido en otros Destinos; que Barcelona ha tenido diversas IDTs a lo largo de su historia como Destino Turístico y que la que experimentamos hoy es sólo la más reciente; que un estudio longitudinal a través del MTF encuadrado por una Investigación de Estudio de Caso es una manera válida de entender la evolución de la IDT de un Destino; que la historia del Destino influye en su IDT; que la imagen Fundamentada (Grounded image) de Barcelona ha cambiado de acuerdo con las tendencias de cada periodo de su historia, pero que su imagen de Densidad (Density image) se ha mantenido estable enfocada en el Barri Gòtic. Por fin, esta Tesis presenta algunos tópicos para investigaciones futuras.
Travel guidebooks are an exceptional source of information for future tourists. These books provide advices, suggestions, clues, tips, and much more so that the traveler can understand the Destination, being, therefore, a mediator between the visitor and the place visited. Travel guidebooks shape the tourist’s experience by interpreting the Destination and, by doing so, shape the Destination itself as well. In a time when tourists are rushing to the Internet to find always-changing information similar to an Orwellian world where yesterday’s facts disappear, paper guidebooks are crucial to a longitudinal because the Tourism Destination Image (TDI) they have of any given place lasts as long as their pages exist. My research aims to understand how a TDI changes through time and, in order to do so, I employ the Grounded Theory Method (GTM) to gather data from several Travel Guidebooks from different periods and determine how the image changes throughout time. The research is built over a review of the current literature on Geography, Authenticity, and, of course, Tourism. My case study is Barcelona and I have selected 13 guidebooks from 1888 –the year of the first Universal Exposition– to 2016. Due to the immense amount of data and the fragility of some guidebooks, I use the computer assisted qualitative data analysis software ATLAS.ti to help me with the coding, recoding, visualization, retrieving, and analysis of the books. Tourism Research is known to strongly rely on other areas’ theories and methods to understand the phenomenon’s intricate problems. Both working with travel guidebooks and applying the GTM to Tourism Research is an innovative way to provide the subject with its own research frameworks and it can help develop new paradigms, theories, and practices to the field. The research concludes that using travel guidebooks as source of data to analyze Barcelona’s TDI is a valid method and it can be reproduced in any other Destination; that Barcelona has had several TDIs throughout its history as a Tourism Destination and the one we experience nowadays is only the most recent one; that a longitudinal study through a GTM framed by a Case Study Research is a valid way to understand the evolution of a Destination’s TDI; that the history of the Destination influences its TDI; that Barcelona’s Grounded image has changed according to trends of each period in its history, but its Density image has remained stable focused in the Barri Gòtic. Finally, this Thesis presents some topics to future research.

Abstract:
AbstractThis contribution analyzes guidebooks that deal specifically with keeping a writer’s notebook, a process-document that may elude the common association of creative writing with its published literary commodities. Creative writing’s pedagogical question “can it be taught?” is complicated since this “it” is so poorly codified by the notebook. I consider three groupings of advice in the notebook-guidebooks in relation to that complexity and discuss their uselessness where writing invents part of its pedagogical needs only in the process of its own happening. Firstly, the guidebooks take on a radical process-pedagogical approach. They promote a kind of irresolute and unpredictable (“end-less”) writing that discovers its objects in the event of their coming-to-be, instead of hypothesizing them beforehand. Note-taking appears here as a self-creative event rather than a preplanned act—a means without an end. Secondly, rather than providing poietic writing recipes, the guidebooks give advice on writerly attitudes or dispositions. The elements of art are presented as existing latently in the world and the practice of note-keeping orients their drawing-out and literary becoming since its technology straddles the contextual and the textual (“creative receptivity”). Thirdly, when addressing the move from the notebook’s writing-for-writing’s sake toward an eventual literary commodity, the guidebooks resist concluding writing’s “invention phase” absolutely. Rereading and rewriting in the notebook continue to inform events that exceed and requalify the intermediate junctures of the literary work’s development (“besideness”).
