Full textAbstract:
In Latin America, multicultural reforms came in the last three decades in response to regional indigenous empowerment that in turn coincided with processes of neoliberal re-democratization. In Chile, neoliberalization also meant for the indigenous Mapuche dramatic processes of indigenous proletarianization by de-territorialization and a new cycle of resistance and creative deployment of political, economic and cultural agencies bringing forth issues of sustainability, collective well-being, and democracy. Through qualitative methods, this thesis examines how multiple actors are shaping the landscapes of tourism development in south-central Chile. There, tourism practice and discourse in Mapuche rural communities reflect Mapuche responses to a recent phase of policies targeting them under the rubric of "Development with Identity". I demonstrate through three case studies how both these policies and tourism markets are being engaged by Mapuche ethno-entrepreneurial leaders, who at the same time advance agendas of Mapuche re-territorialization through novel re-articulations of livelihoods, place, and identities.

Full textAbstract:
This study focuses on the transformation process and reshaping of Indigenous tourism in Québec, Canada, using an ethnographic approach and methods. The central aim is to understand how Indigenous communities are affected by the development of Indigenous tourism and how they deal with this development. Three concepts are elaborated upon: resilience, performance of authenticity and representation of territory. The present study aims to show that these concepts are interconnected and crucial to the discussion of sustainable development. In this study it is important to not merely view Indigenous peoples as people affected by tourism but primarily as individuals who are involved in shaping Indigenous tourism in their communities. This work discusses a process in which society, communities and the Indigenous tourism industry are changing and transforming. I have shown how the dimensions of sustainable development can interact with place-specific conditions and are of importance for the Indigenous communities in Québec.

Full textAbstract:
This research addresses the socio-cultural and psychological effects of tourism on the indigenous people of a developing nation. The Cook Islands served as a case study.
Quantitative and qualitative methods were used to collect data on four islands which had experienced varying degrees of tourism and other acculturative influences. The data were then analysed using a methodology informed by grounded theory.
It was found that although residents on all four islands had experienced acculturative influences including tourism, (a highly visible, contemporary form of acculturation), there was no significant indication of psychological dysfunction associated with this. It is suggested that this is due in part to the characteristics of Cook Islands culture, the type of tourism currently experienced in the Cook Islands, and specific ethnopsychological features of Cook Islanders which act to moderate the stressful aspects of intercultural contact resulting from tourism. A conceptual model is proposed outlining this process and its subsequent outcomes.

Berkovitz, Simone A. "Ecotourism Enterprises: The Case for Indigenous Community-Owned Tourism in Ecuador." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2014. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/839.
Full textAbstract:
With the rapid growth of the global ecotourism industry, the sector has had difficulty attaining its intended goals of environmental responsibility and local development. In recent years, there has been a recognized need for greater incorporation of local communities into tourism operations. This thesis explores the challenges facing ecotourism, while arguing for the potential found in ecotourism enterprises owned and operated by indigenous communities in Ecuador. An analysis of two distinct Ecuadorian cases demonstrates the potential for multi-faceted environmental and social impact in diverse contexts. Finally, by understanding the processes that build impact embedded in the business models, this study reveals key components and strategies applicable to community-based ecotourism around the world.

Full textAbstract:
The following thesis examines the representation of Sámi that reside in the Swedish part of Lapland. Tourism has been a complement to the traditional occupations for many Sámi. However, representations of Sámi in web-marketing may be misleading the tourists in their understanding of the Indigenous people. The aim of the thesis is to examine regional marketing material in Sweden, found online, through a thematic analysis to highlight patterns and themes that are utilized for a competitiveness in the market. The use of language, when referring to Sámi, and adjectives to describe landscape, food, and people were focused upon. Six webpages were analysed, which showed a strong focus of the marketing material on reindeer, languages, handicrafts and food.

Full textAbstract:
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.
Sklairs 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.

Tao, Teresa Chang-Hung. "Tourism as a Livelihood Strategy in Indigenous Communities: Case Studies from Taiwan." Thesis, University of Waterloo, 2006. http://hdl.handle.net/10012/2900.
Full textAbstract:
Tourism has become an important option for economic development and the cultural survival of aboriginal people, yet the academic work has overlooked an issue of cultural sustainability and the majority of the literature on indigenous tourism is from a non-indigenous perspective. Although the sustainable livelihood framework does not clearly address the cultural part of life, the approach requires that activities, such as tourism, are placed in a broader context so that they can be examined from an indigenous perspective on sustainability. The purpose of this study is to assess the role that tourism is playing in two indigenous communities' livelihood strategies in Taiwan from an indigenous perspective using the sustainable livelihood framework as an organizing framework. The examination of the evolution of livelihood strategies is the main focus of the study.
A review of literature identifies weaknesses in the concepts of sustainable development and sustainable tourism and provides legitimacy for using the sustainable livelihood approach to examine the roles that tourism plays in indigenous people's daily lives. Culture is embedded in daily life and the approach allows the researcher to explore the meanings behind people's daily activities. Also, tourism needs to be placed in a broader context in order to identify whether any linkages exist between it and other sectors of the economy and how tourism can better fit in with exiting livelihood strategies. The research is a collaborative study of two Cou aboriginal communities (i. e. , Shanmei and Chashan) in central Taiwan using qualitative research methods. The sustainable livelihood framework is used as a vehicle for guiding research and analysis. Results indicate that Cou traditional livelihoods and their traditional social structure have been closely linked. The shift of Cou livelihoods from self-sustaining in the past to being linked increasingly to the global economic market system at present comes from a variety of external and internal factors (e. g. , policy, history, politics, macro-economic conditions). The promotion of tourism development and cultural industries by the government in recent years has provided aboriginal people with a new opportunity (tourism) in which they can make use of their culture as an advantage (culture as an attraction) to possibly reverse the inferior position. In addition to being an attraction for economic development, culture has many implications for the way things are done and for the distribution of benefits. In both villages, people employ a wide range of resources and livelihoods strategies to support themselves. Tourism has been incorporated into the livelihoods of both villages in forms of employment (regular and occasional) and various collective and self-owned enterprises (e. g. , restaurants, homestays, café, food stalls, handicraft stores and campsites). Tourism activities have the potential both to complement and to compete with other economic activities in various forms. Conflicts between tourism-related economic activities and other activities may not be obvious in terms of the use of land, water and time. The benefits and costs of each tourism activity experienced by different stakeholder groups (mainly by age and gender) vary, depending on different personal situations. The sustainable livelihoods framework was examined and used to assess the context and forms in which tourism might contribute to sustainable livelihood outcomes. Institutional processes and organizational structures are one main factor determining whether different assets, tangible and intangible, are accumulated or depleted on individual, household, and community scales. The comparison of the two cases revealed that, in the context of capitalist market economy in which people pursue the maximization of individual interests, the following situation is most likely to lead to sustainable outcome (socio-culturally, economically, and environmentally) in the context of indigenous communities. That is tourism enterprises need to be operated through institutions with a communal mechanism and through efficient operation of the communities' organizations based on collective knowledge guided by Cou culture. Sustainable livelihood thinking is useful to the concept of sustainable development because it can be used as an analytical and practical tool for guiding studies of environment and development. It also serves as a means of integrating three modes of thinking: environmental thinking which stresses sustainability, development thinking which stresses production and growth, and livelihood thinking which stresses sustenance for the poor. The approach facilitates examination of the reality of aboriginal people and poor people in rural and remote areas. The approach focuses on the local impacts of change, recognizes the complexity of people's lives, acknowledges that people have different and sometimes complex livelihood strategies and addresses benefits that are defined by the marginalized communities themselves. It acknowledges the dynamism of the factors that influence livelihoods: it recognizes that change occurs and people accommodate, learn from change and plan, adapt and respond to change. It focuses on accommodating traditional knowledge and skills to create conditions for marginalized communities to enhance their well-being. It assists in understanding that traditional knowledge and its innovation provide a basis for the development of coping mechanisms and adaptive strategies to buffer the forces which threaten livelihoods. The sustainable livelihood framework is useful because it places the interests of local people at the centre. Such an approach incorporates tourism as one component of development, particularly for indigenous people, and explores how positive development impacts can be expanded and negative ones can be reduced. However, unless supplemented, the framework may not do justice to the importance of culture and the prominent roles played by key individuals.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation documents a Garifuna community in transition as it seeks to attain international protection as an indigenous community. The Garifuna, an Afro-Indigenous group, have farmed and fished along the Caribbean Coast of Honduras for more than two hundred years, and they are attempting to protect access to natural resources that have been privatized and limited by development programs. Local Garifuna activists have mobilized community members to safeguard local resources by ensuring that community-held land titles are honored and that the community is preserved as culturally Garifuna. While tourism has been a major driver for the region economically, using the Garifuna culture and natural resources as attractions, the benefits have not been equitably distributed. Claims of economic success through tourism do not match the actual lived realities of community livelihoods, land use, local politics, development, and community discourses.

Shibish, Lori-Ann. "The evolution of joint management in Western Australia parks and the indigenous tourism nexus." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2015. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/1694.
Full textAbstract:
Since the early 2000s, park management approaches to protected area governance have undergone a significant transformation, driven by the realisation that long-term conservation outcomes depend on participation in decision-making by stakeholders. To meet these challenges one of the measures being adopted by park managers is to engage in joint management arrangements. Recent changes to the conservation legislation in Western Australia provides the capacity for the Department of Parks and Wildlife (Parks and Wildlife) to enter into joint management arrangements with Aboriginal traditional owners and others for the management of protected areas, regardless of the land vesting or tenure. Joint management activities provide both formal and informal opportunities for mentoring, skills building, resource sharing, and knowledge mobilisation.
Aboriginal traditional owners, through native title settlements, are regaining rights and control over land and resources. Successful native title claims have the potential to contribute to the advancement of social and economic wellbeing of Aboriginal communities. One compatible type of economic development occurring in parks is sustainable tourism - specifically ecotourism and cultural tourism. It is argued that tourism can assist in achieving conservation goals, as the need for ecological sustainability and biological conservation becomes greater due to habitat loss, population increases, hunting wildlife and poverty. Some specialists advocate for the resource management process to fully integrate tourism, since the base of the parks-tourism partnership is resource sustainability.
This qualitative study used multi-method triangulation (participant observation, interviews, document analysis, case study) with the intent of identifying the place of Aboriginal tourism development within the shared governance structure of joint management. The research highlighted successful Aboriginal tourism development outcomes brought about through the capacity building that occurs within strong working relationships, forged over many years between Parks and Wildlife staff and local Aboriginal communities.
One important research finding is the emergence of a parks - tourism – Aboriginal people – joint management nexus, as revealed by those directly involved in joint management strongly viewing Aboriginal tourism development as an important outcome. However, the research found that government, tourism professionals and the public had difficulty in understanding the concept of joint management and its value in facilitating Aboriginal tourism. Evidence of the disconnect is seen in the government’s failure to provide adequate funding for these activities and highlights an opportunity for educating the tourism industry and government about joint management’s potential to assist with Aboriginal tourism development. The State Government could do more to support the important component of capacity building facilitated through joint management, which fosters cross-cultural awareness, skill enhancement, and economic and social development amongst the stakeholders.
An equally important finding is the ability of the Conservation and Land Management Regulations 2002 to provide a mechanism for Aboriginal joint management partners to adequately manage visitors and tour operators on their lands, as Aboriginal communities currently have very limited powers to regulate access.
Joint management provides a vehicle to achieve sustainable benefits for conservation, communities and country including supporting Aboriginal tourism development. Therefore it is paramount that joint management partners are cognitive of the important role of tourism when they undertake the task of preparing management plans for protected areas, and Governments provide adequate funding to sustain joint management activities.

Full textAbstract:
Esta tese tem a finalidade de apresentar estudos sobre o turismo, o território e a modernidade. Para isto, realiza-se um debate teórico e metodológico sobre os usos dos diferentes conceitos de território. Dentro desta lógica, insere-se o turismo como alavanca do desenvolvimento com base local. De uma parte, analisa-se o turismo indígena e, de outra, estuda-se o turismo em territórios indígenas. A metodologia utilizada na pesquisa de campo divide-se entre os estudos etnológicos, etnográficos, pesquisa-ação, pesquisa-participante e a literatura sobre turismo e desenvolvimento com base local. O trabalho de campo entre os Krahô ocorreu entre os anos de 2004, 2005 e 2006, permitindo levantar informações sobre a ocorrência do turismo nas comunidades e associações indígenas, assim como propor o entendimento sobre o turismo nos sentidos econômico, político, cultural e ambiental. O turismo emissivo indígena pode ser definido como aquele em que os indígenas das várias etnias viajam para as cidades locais, regionais, nacionais e internacionais para participarem de eventos (Jogos Indígenas, etc.). O turismo em territórios indígenas se define como aquele que ocorre no interior dos territórios indígenas (Feira Krahô de Sementes Tradicionais, etc.). Os territórios das populações autóctones no Brasil estão adquirindo sentido de territórios descontínuos e de territórios-rede, pois todas as etnias possuem mobilidades de seus territórios para outras territorialidades. Portanto, tanto o turismo emissivo indígena quanto o turismo receptivo em territórios indígenas contribuem para a construção da elevação da auto-estima dos índios, para a venda do artesanato e, por último, para a constituição de novas multiterritorialidades turísticas.This thesis aims at submitting studies about tourism, territory and modernity. For such, a theoretical and methodological debate on the uses of the different territory concepts takes place. Within this logic, tourism is inserted as development with local base. On the one hand, we analyze indigenous tourism, and on the other hand, we study tourism in indigenous territories. The methodology used in the field research is divided among ethnologic, ethnographic studies, research-action, research-participant and the literature on tourism and development with local base. The field work among the Krahô took place between the years 2004, 2005 and 2006, allowing to survey information on the occurrence of tourism in the indigenous communities and associations, as well as proposing the understanding on tourism in the economical, political, cultural and environmental senses. The emissive indigenous tourism can be defined as the one where the natives of the different ethnic groups travel to the local, regional, national and international cities to take part in events (Indigenous Games, etc.). The tourism in indigenous territories is defined as the one taking place within the indigenous territories (Krahô Fair of Traditional Seeds, etc.). The territories of the autochthonous populations in Brazil are acquiring sense of discontinuous territories and network-territories, because all the ethnic groups can move from their territories to other territories. Therefore, both emissive indigenous tourism as well as the receptive tourism in indigenous territories contribute for elevating the self-esteem of the Indians, for selling handicraft and, for last, for constituting new multi-territory tourism.

Full textAbstract:
This work aims at developing a tourist visit to the Aldeia Bananal, a community located in Brasília, the Brazilian capital. The community is composed of three ethnic indian groups: Kariri-Xokó, Tuxá and Fulni-ô. The reason of the study is to research and develop Indigenous Tourism. Furthermore, I also wanted to evaluate the present and future benefits to the students and to the indigenous community of a project which relates Indigenous and Educational Tourism. The thesis describes three visits from public school children organized by the government and the official visit organized by me together with the leader Cacique Tanoné. The visitors or student-tourists were mainly from the 4th semester of a Tourism bachelor course. While developing the Educational Tourism visit we mostly focused on three concepts: Geotourism, which tries to enhance the cultural and natural characteristics of the indigenous group through participatory tourism; Ambience Generation, which relates to changing the learning environment of the students as a mean of catalyzing their educational process; and Staged-Authenticity for Community Empowerment. The thesis is developed in three phases: first, the description of the area; second, the development of the visit together with the community; and last the analysis of the visit based on the community leader’s and the students’ view. The most important fact that affects the community’s daily life and consequently the present tourist visitations is the construction – started in 2007 – around their land of the newest and most expensive neighborhood in Brasília, the Northwest Sector. Some conclusions of this study were: the community was at all times very positive towards the research; they received a fair amount of money and were satisfied with it; they spread their culture in a tense political moment; and enhanced their cultural heritage, although I think the visit did not enhance the natural environment as it could. For the students the project created a unique contact with the indigenous group which led to a higher knowledge and valorization of their culture; it also showed a practical example of indigenous tourism to Tourism students. The data did answer the question regarding to the benefits to the students and to the community; and the method for developing and evaluating an indigenous tourism practice is still in progress and can reach an ideal level with further research.

Full textAbstract:
Enabled by a Minor Field Study scholarship from SIDA, this thesis examines indigenous involvement in ecotourism in the Ecuadorian Amazons. Indigenous people are the most marginalized social group world-wide, and coincidingly often live in resource rich pristine land. The oil-rich lands of the Amazons is called a resource frontier and is now increasingly important for the tourism sector, which comes to entail conflict of interests between the State and indigenous communities living in this area. Both the global call for sustainable development and national policies of “Buen Vivir” promotes ecotourism as an ecologically, socio-economically, and culturally sustainable activity. Scholarly opinion suggest that ecotourism generates potential tools of empowerment for the involved indigenous communities. With this backdrop and with the theoretical framework of the postcolonial debate, main opportunities and challenges are examined with the correlation of tourism ventures and socio-political implications in the local reality of indigenous organizations in Tena, Napo. Complex impediments are uncovered and analysed within the social field of indigenous ecotourism. The conviction of the study holds the call for attentive cross-cultural communication in order to continue the seemingly inevitable path of globalization in a more sustainable and non-discriminatory manner.

Full textAbstract:
As tourism expands across the globe, tourists seek “undeveloped” areas to explore. This influx of visitors has lasting impacts on the natural environment and the socio-economic structures of host communities. Ecotourism has the potential to positively implement tourism that values the natural environment and its’ people. I argue that ecotourism initiatives led by outside agents prioritize natural environment over the indigenous peoples who have lived on the lands for centuries. Indigenous-led tourism inherently is ecotourism, and in Aymara culture ties to Pachamama and their way of live are more sustainable than green tourists traveling to their communities. This thesis draws on the recognized need for local communities to lead tourism initiatives, and examines the difference in outside involvement. An analysis of Isla de la Luna (Coati) and Isla del Sol (Challapampa) in Lake Titicaca, I argue that autonomy and respect of the Aymara people and their cultures should be prioritized as the tourism industry develops in Bolivia. Safeguarding against reproducing and increasing class divisions amongst community members is necessary to preserving sustainable cultural and communal relationships.

Pettersson, Robert. "Sami tourism in Northern Sweden : Supply, demand and interaction." Doctoral thesis, Umeå universitet, Kulturgeografi, 2004. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:umu:diva-194.
Full textAbstract:
Indigenous tourism is an expansive sector in the growing tourism industry. The Sami people living in Sápmi in northern Europe have started to engage in tourism, particularly in view of the rationalised and modernised methods of reindeer herding. Sami tourism offers job opportunities and enables the spreading of information. On the other hand, Sami tourism may jeopardise the indigenous culture and harm the sensitive environment in which the Sami live. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the supply and demand of Sami tourism in northern Sweden. This is presented in four articles. The first article analyses the potential of the emerging Sami tourism in Sweden, with special emphasis on the access to Sami tourism products. The study shows that there is a growing supply of tourism activities related to the Swedish Sami. The development of tourism is, however, restricted by factors such as the peripheral location and the lack of traditions of entrepreneurship. The second article analyse which factors influence tourists when they make their decisions about Sami tourism. In the article the respondents are requested to answer a number of hypothetical questions, ranking their preferences regarding supply, price and access. The study indicates that tourism related to the Sami and Sami culture has a considerable future potential, but also that there is a gap between supply and demand. In the third article the analysis shows that the festival in Jokkmokk, thanks to continuously added attractions, has been able to retain a rather high level of popularity, despite its peripheral location. Finally, the fourth article analyses to what extent the winter festival in Jokkmokk is a genuinely indigenous event, and to what extent it is staged. It is argued that the indigenous culture presented at the festival and in media is highly staged, although backstage experiences are available for the Sami and for the tourists who show a special interest.

Thesis, Uppsala universitet, Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och industriell teknik, 2020. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-412194.
Full textAbstract:
This study sought to analyze tourist perceptions of cultural heritage tourism on Easter Island, more specifically, how they perceived and valued the concept of ‘authenticity’ in representations of local Rapanui culture. By analyzing and categorizing trends found in Trip Advisor reviews left for 6 tourism businesses on the island (3 traditional performance venues and 3 guided tour companies), this primary research question was further broken down to assess 1) what factors in particular render an experience valuable and authentic to the tourist, 2) how tourists perceive indigenous Rapanui’s relationship to their own culture in the context of cultural tourism, and 3) if they perceive the industry as exploiting or empowering the Rapanui people. Ultimately the study uncovered the tendency for tourists to look to the transmitters of culture themselves (i.e. local performers, guides, company owners) when assessing the value and authenticity of their cultural experience, taking into account the transmitter’s indigenous heritage, cultural pride, knowledgeability, and openness and eagerness to share their culture with visitors (evident by the perceived passion with which they performed, or the personal storytelling and friendship evident in the guide-guest relationship). In addition to constructing value and authenticity, these qualities left visitors with the impression that local Rapanui are empowered by the industry and have agency over the manner in which their culture is showcased. The tourist’s search for meaning was also an important finding, as the majority either appreciated direct explanations about island culture and history, or created their own meaning when none was provided. While the scope of this study was limited to Easter Island, it has implications that may be applied to other destinations with indigenous, cultural tourism, as it very much speaks to the value that tourists place on cultural pride and preservation, community-based grassroots tourism, a desire for meaning and explanation, and consideration for the tourist’s own impact on the destination.

Full textAbstract:
Highland games play a unique cultural role in Scotland, as a platform for indigenous sporting competition, traditional music and dance. There has been very little academic attention paid to Highland games and this is a first attempt to capture a detailed account of multiple events across Scotland. Organised by volunteers and operating the events on a not-for-profit basis, the majority of Highland games are self-sustaining, relying on the ingenuity and commitment of committee members. The political forces in Scotland do not appear to acknowledge or understand the importance of Highland games to communities; or the social, cultural and economic benefits they create, whilst contributing substantially to Scotland’s event and tourism industries. Key themes within the research objectives are volunteer organisers, sport, events, tourism and culture with social capital theory underpinning the study. The study adopts a mixed methods approach with three phases of data collection. An initial search identified 95 Highland games in Scotland which provided the context and knowledge base from 50 returned surveys. A second survey was conducted with audience members (n=1316) with the third data set collected from interviews with organisers and experts (n=16). The results reveal that Highland games operate in a very fragile financial environment with little support from central government or national tourism and event organisations. The events are well supported by domestic, UK and international visitors and tourists appealing to all age groups, encompassing family and adult social groups while transcending social and cultural diversity. There is evidence of repeat visitation by audience members and competitors to single and multiple events, furthermore, the evidence of bonding and bridging social capital is conclusive within the organising groups and spectators. This study confirms that Highland games collectively contribute to event tourism bringing social and economic benefits to Scotland and could be a key feature of Scotland’s international event and tourism strategies.

Previous issue date: 2012-04-03This thesis compares two situations in which Indigenous peoples of the Northeastern region of Brazil have been affected by projects of tourism which have become catalysts of ethnic affirmation. The situations focused in this thesis, of Indigenous peoples of Ceará state, localised in municipalities of the Eastern and Western Coastal Zones are similar, since these peoples have suffered pressures exerted by large consortia of companies which aimed to take over Indigenous Lands to construct projects of tourism. The Tremembé people of São José and Buriti Indigenous Land, in Marinheiros district, municipality of Itapipoca, have organized themselves as an Indigenous people and demand that the Brazilian National State recognize their Land Rights through the National Indian Foundation (FUNAI) since they are facing the threat of a project of tourism financed by foreign capital with support from the Brazilian government the Nova Atlântida Cidade Turística, Residencial e de Serviços LT. This tourism complex, considered to be a mega project of Spanish investments, is directed especially to the flow of foreign visitors. The investment came under investigation by the Council of Control of Financial Activities (COAF), of the Treasury Department, because of financial movements which were supposedly incompatible with its partners, as has been announced by some vehicles of communication. Even so, the Tremembé people of São José and Buriti suffered pressure from representatives of the Nova Atlântida, trying to expropriate their Indigenous Lands, consequently causing conflicts among these Indigenous people, the majority of whom were against the setting up of Nova Atlântida. Others let themselves be coopted by offers of money by representatives of the project, leading to internal disputes in the four villages, including disputes between persons of the same family. The Jenipapo-Kanindé people of the Aldeia Lagoa Encantada Indigenous Land, in the municipality of Aquiraz, managed to get their Indigenous Lands demarcated by the FUNAI. This Indigenous people has been successful in stopping the building of an international project of tourism Aquiraz Riviera Consórcio Luso-Brasileiro Aquiraz Investimentos SA on their lands, and have set up a community tourism project in their village with the support of partners from the university, the government and the third sector. The Jenipapo-Kanindé people, through this self-management project, have joined the Rede Cearense de Turismo Comunitário (REDE TUCUM). The Tremembé people of São José e Buriti, resisting the occupation of their lands, have used their Indigenous identity and ethnic affirmation in an attempt to stop the Nova Atlântida from taking over their lands. The Jenipapo-Kanindé, to stop the Aquiraz Riviera Consórcio Luso-Brasileiro Aquiraz Investimentos SA project from being built on their lands have used ethnic affirmation and at present are setting up their own community tourism project, Educação Integral para a Sustentabilidade e o Desenvolvimento do Turismo Comunitário na Terra Indígena (TI) Jenipapo-Kanindé, as a means of living and as a manifestation of their ethnic affirmation. Both these Indigenous people are going through processes of ethnic re-elaboration and are claiming through government institutions that their lands be recognised as Indigenous Lands. In this discussion about tourism as a vector Indigenous identity in the face of territorial transformations, qualitative and quantitative research has been done at the interface of Geography and Anthropology.
Esta tese compara duas situações em que povos indígenas do Nordeste brasileiro foram alcançados por projetos de turismo que se tornaram catalizadores de afirmações étnicas. As situações enfocadas de povos indígenas do estado do Ceará, localizados em municípios das Zonas Costeiras Leste e Oeste assemelham-se, pois esses dois povos sofreram as pressões de grandes consórcios de empresas nacionais e internacionais que visavam se apropriar das Terras Indígenas (TIs) para implantar projetos de turismo em seus territórios tradicionais. O povo Tremembé da Terra Indígena Tremembé de São José e Buriti, distrito Marinheiros, município de Itapipoca, organiza-se como indígena e reivindica seus direitos territoriais ao Estado Nacional por meio da Fundação Nacional do Índio (FUNAI) frente à ameaça do projeto de turismo com capital estrangeiro e apoio do governo brasileiro o Nova Atlântida Cidade Turística, Residencial e de Serviços LT. Este complexo turístico considerado um mega projeto espanhol visa sobretudo os fluxos de visitantes estrangeiros. Este empreendimento tornou-se projeto investigado pelo Conselho de Controle de Atividades Financeiras (COAF), do Ministério da Fazenda, devido os movimentos financeiros supostamente incompatíveis com os seus sócios, conforme anunciam alguns veículos de comunicação. Mesmo assim o povo Tremembé de São José e Buriti sofre pressões de representantes do Nova Atlântida, tentando expropriar suas TIs, consequentemente provocam conflitos entre estes indígenas, em sua maioria, adversos a implantação do Nova Atlântida. Outros, se deixaram cooptar por ofertas financeiras de representantes do empreendimento, resultando em desacordos internos nas quatro aldeias, inclusive entre indígenas de uma mesma família. Na situação do povo Jenipapo-Kanindé da Terra Indígena Aldeia Lagoa Encantada, no município de Aquiraz, este conseguiu a demarcação de sua TI junto à FUNAI. O citado povo indígena impediu a construção do projeto turístico internacional Aquiraz Riviera Consórcio Luso-Brasileiro Aquiraz Investimentos SA em sua TI, e implantou um projeto de turismo comunitário na aldeia apoiado por parceiros da academia, do governo e do terceiro setor. O povo Jenipapo-Kanindé por meio deste projeto de auto-gestão se inseriu na Rede Cearense de Turismo Comunitário (REDE TUCUM). Os Tremembé de São José e Buriti, para resistir a ocupação da sua TI, acionaram a identidade indígena e a afirmação étnica na tentativa de embargar o Nova Atlântida. Os Jenipapo-Kanindé para embargar o projeto Aquiraz Riviera Consórcio Luso-Brasileiro Aquiraz Investimentos SA em sua TI, afirmou a identidade indígena e atualmente se apropria de um projeto de turismo comunitário Educação Integral para a Sustentabilidade e o Desenvolvimento do Turismo Comunitário na Terra Indígena (TI) Jenipapo-Kanindé como meio de vida e manifestação da sua afirmação étnica. Os dois povos indígenas em questão atravessam processos de reelaboração étnica e reivindicam junto aos órgãos governamentais que suas terras sejam reconhecidas como TIs. Nesta discussão do turismo como um vetor da identidade indígena frente às transformações territoriais, as pesquisas qualitativa e quantitativa desenvolvem-se na interface da Geografia e da Antropologia.

Full textAbstract:
Turismen är en av världens största och mest expansiva branscher. Intresset för kulturturism har ökat under de senaste årtiondena och turisternas efterfrågan på upplevelser som involverar ursprungsfolk växer. På många håll i världen är det västerländska turistföretag som ställer villkoren för hur denna kulturförmedling ska se ut. Detta medför att en stereotyp och missvisande bild av ursprungsfolk många gånger bibehålls, vilket får negativa följder för ursprungsgrupperna. Andra följder av turismens expansion är exempelvis tvångsförflyttningar av ursprungsbefolkningar. Åtminstone tidigare var förhållandena liknande för Sveriges ursprungsfolk - samerna. I denna uppsats intervjuas fem samer, som på olika sätt arbetar med samisk turism och kulturförmedling. Syftet är att undersöka deras syn på samisk kulturturism, både i relation till det samiska samhället och till samhället i övrigt. Jag vill ta reda på vilka möjligheter och risker informanterna anser att samisk turism kan medföra för det samiska samhället. Informanternas syn på och erfarenheter av makt och kulturförmedling belyses. Frågor kring turism och autenticitet ventileras. Med historiska skeenden och teoretiska diskussioner som bakgrund diskuteras uppsatsens empiriska del.Tourism is one of the largest and most expansive industries in the world. The interest in cultural tourism has increased over the last few decades, and the demand for indigenous tourism is growing. In many parts of the world, indigenous tourism is conditioned by western tourist companies. This means that a stereotyped and misleading picture of indigenous peoples many times is maintained, with negative consequences for indigenous communities. Other consequences of tourism expansion is, for example, forced relocations of indigenous groups. At least in the past, the conditions were similar to the indigenous people of Sweden - the Sámi. In this study, five Sámi - who in various ways are working with Sámi tourism and cultural conveyance - are interviewed. The purpose is to examine their view of Sámi cultural tourism, both in relation to the Sámi society and to society as a whole. I want to find out what opportunities and risks the informants believe that Sámi tourism may entail for the Sámi society. The informants perspective on power, indigeneity and cultural conveyance is highlighted. Issues concerning tourism and authenticity are discussed. With historical events and theoretical discussions as a background, the empirical part of the paper is discussed.

Since the colonization of Brazil, its indigenous peoples have been facing countless conflicts related to the protection of their territories. In the pursuit of better living conditions, several indigenous communities have been thinking of tourism as a local development alternative based on criteria established by their own ethnic groups. The aim of this research was to identify the possible impacts and consequences for ethnodevelopment which were caused by the ethnic tourism developed and applied to Tabaçú Reko Ypy village, which is located between the municipalities of Itanhaém-Peruíbe on the southern coast of São Paulo, from 2013 to 2015. The community develops and performs this activity as a supporting tool for generating alternative income with the purpose of improving their living conditions and recovering their territory and traditions. Due to the fact that it is a recently formed village, no specific literature about its people has been found. All the documents and information about their politics, social behavior and culture have been obtained through semi-structured interviews, participation in field experiences and documents provided by the indigenous people themselves. The theoretical framework for this research was obtained through the existing literature on anthropology and tourism and its interfaces. This community organizes some field experiences related to tourism in partnership with agencies and also autonomously which were monitored and registered for this research for two consecutive years. Through this study, it was possible to identify several consequences arising from ethnic tourism and to reflect on possible future impacts that can be dealt with. In conclusion, this research showed that, through the actions taken by the Ñandeva people over the two-year period from 2013 to 2015, the possibility of making use of new tools and guidelines will be useful for them to achieve autonomous ethnodevelopment with the perspective of an inclusive model of tourism capable of generating income, respecting local culture and promoting environmental balance.
Desde a colonização do Brasil, os povos indígenas enfrentam inúmeros conflitos relacionados à proteção de seus territórios. Na busca por melhores condições de vida, diversas comunidades indígenas têm pensado na atividade turística como uma alternativa de desenvolvimento local, empreendida a partir de critérios estabelecidos pelos próprios grupos étnicos. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi diagnosticar sobre os possíveis impactos e consequências ao etnodesenvolvimento causados pelo turismo étnico desenvolvido e aplicado na aldeia Tabaçú Reko Ypy, localizada entre os municípios de Itanhaém-Peruíbe, litoral sul do estado de São Paulo, ao longo dos anos de 2013 a 2015. Esta comunidade desenvolve e pratica esta atividade como uma ferramenta de apoio à geração de renda alternativa na busca de melhores condições de vida em prol da recuperação do seu território e também visa o resgate das suas tradições. Por se tratar de uma aldeia recentemente formada, nenhuma literatura específica sobre este povo foi encontrada. Os registros e informações sobre a sua política, comportamento social e cultural foram obtidos através de entrevistas semiestruturadas, participação em vivências e de registros realizados pelos próprios indígenas. Os referenciais teóricos para esta pesquisa foram obtidos através da literatura existente sobre antropologia e turismo e suas interfaces. Esta comunidade realiza, em parceria com agências e também de forma autônoma, algumas vivências e experiências relacionadas ao turismo, que foram acompanhadas e registradas para esta pesquisa durante dois anos consecutivos. Através deste estudo pôde-se notar consequências diversas advindas do turismo étnico e refletir sobre possíveis futuros impactos os quais poderão ser trabalhados. Conclui-se com esta pesquisa que, através das ações exercidas pelo povo Ñandeva ao longo destes anos, a possibilidade em se fazer uso de novas ferramentas e diretrizes servirão de apoio para o alcance de um etnodesenvolvimento autônomo sob o olhar de um modelo de turismo inclusivo capaz de gerar renda, que respeite a cultura local e que também busque promover o equilíbrio ambiental.

Full textAbstract:
Fruit d’une recherche ethnographique collaborative menée entre 2017 et 2019 avec la Première Nation des Pekuakamiulnuatsh (Mashteuiatsh, Québec, Canada), ce travail de thèse examine les processus et stratégies de valorisation du nelueun, langue ancestrale des Pekuakamiulnuatsh, dans le contexte des activités touristiques de la communauté. L’objectif de ce travail est de questionner, d’après une perspective sociolinguistique critique, ethnographique et matérialiste, les enjeux socio-politiques, économiques, idéologiques et identitaires de cette valorisation linguistique sur le terrain du tourisme autochtone, en faisant le lien avec la question du colonialisme et de la réclamation linguistique. À l’instar d’autres peuples autochtones du Canada et d’ailleurs, les Pekuakamiulnuatsh ont entamé leur démarche vers l’autodétermination et l’autonomie gouvernementale dans les années 1970, dans le sillon des mouvements internationaux de reconnaissance des droits autochtones. Engagés dans un processus de reconnaissance politique, les Pekuakamiulnuatsh ont été amenés à objectiver les critères qui fondent leur identité en tant que peuple distinct, et à se positionner comme des partenaires économiques pour entrer en dialogue avec l’État. Dans ce contexte de revendications, le nelueun a émergé dans le discours politique des Pekuakamiulnuatsh comme un symbole identitaire et un outil central à la démarche d’affirmation politique et culturelle de la Première Nation, et a fait l’objet d’une mobilisation collective soutenue pour sa réclamation depuis le milieu des années 1980. En parallèle de cette démarche, les Pekuakamiulnuatsh ont développé un secteur touristique attractif dans l’optique de démystifier et transmettre leur culture ilnu, opérant ainsi leur reconnaissance culturelle à travers le marché économique. En ouvrant un espace pour la valorisation des ressources culturelles ilnu, le tourisme à Mashteuiatsh s’est progressivement construit comme un site alternatif de valorisation du nelueun pour certains acteurs de la communauté qui la construisent comme un gage d’identité et d’authenticité collective. Cette inclusion nouvelle d’une langue autochtone en voie de réclamation sur le marché soulève néanmoins des débats et présente des défis, qui traduisent à la fois les tensions qui découlent du statut de la langue et de la place de certains (néo)locuteurs au sein de la communauté, et les tensions posées par les logiques de valuation du marché économique, basées sur des formes de commodification et des visions de l’authenticité linguistique et culturelle liées aux idéologies des États-nations. En croisant les discours et stratégies des acteurs du tourisme et de la réclamation, des associations touristiques régionales et des touristes autour de la valeur du nelueun, les analyses formulées dans ce travail de thèse rendent compte de l’importance des catégorisations raciolinguistiques, de l’hégémonie culturelle et des idéologies linguistiques euro-centriques dans les processus de (dé)valorisation symbolique et économique du nelueun. Cette thèse montre comment les acteurs autochtones du tourisme négocient leur autonomie et la valeur de leurs ressources linguistiques et de leurs identités en dialogue constant avec ces idéologies, dans des dynamiques de confrontation ou d’alignement à celles-ci. Cette recherche offre une contribution pour penser la colonialité des processus de (dé)valorisation des ressources langagières et les dynamiques raciolinguistiques sur le terrain du tourisme, et en particulier sur le terrain du tourisme autochtone, jusque-là peu investi par la sociolinguistique. Elle pose également les jalons d’une réflexion sur la mise en œuvre complexe d’une sociolinguistique ethnographique collaborative et décoloniale et la place du sociolinguiste dans un tel cadreDrawing on a collaborative ethnographic research conducted between 2017 and 2019 with the Pekuakamiulnuatsh First Nation (Mashteuiatsh, Quebec, Canada), this doctoral thesis examines the processes and strategies for the promotion of nehlueun, the ancestral language of the Pekuakamiulnuatsh, in the context of Mashteuiatsh touristic activities. The aim of this sociolinguistic study is to explore, from a critical, ethnographic, and materialistic perspective, the socio-political, economic, ideological, and identity stakes of language value production within the realm of Indigenous tourism, connecting it with issues of colonialism and linguistic reclamation.Like other Indigenous peoples in Canada and beyond, the Pekuakamiulnuatsh began their journey towards self-determination and governmental autonomy in the 1970s, following the global movements for the recognition of indigenous rights. Engaged in a process of political recognition, the Pekuakamiulnuatsh have had to objectify the criteria establishing their identity as a distinct people, as well as position themselves as economic partners to interact with the State. In this context, nehlueun emerged in Pekuakamiulnuatsh political discourse as an identity symbol and a central tool in the First Nation's political and cultural affirmation, undergoing sustained collective mobilization for its reclamation since the mid-1980s. Parallel to this, the Pekuakamiulnuatsh have developed a touristic sector to demystify and share ilnu culture, thus asserting their cultural recognition through the economic market. By creating a space for the valorization of ilnu cultural resources, tourism in Mashteuiatsh has gradually evolved as an alternative site for the valorization of nehlueun for some community stakeholders, seeing it as a testament to identity and collective authenticity. This newfound inclusion of a locally-reclaimed indigenous language on the market sparks debates and presents challenges, reflecting both the tensions arising from the language's status and the position of certain (neo)speakers within the community, as well as tensions posed by economic market valuation logics, rooted in forms of commodification and perceptions of linguistic and cultural authenticity linked to nation-states.By analyzing the discourses and strategies of tourism and reclamation stakeholders, regional tourist associations, and tourists regarding the value of nehlueun, the analyses of this research account for the significance of raciolinguistic categorizations, cultural hegemony, and Eurocentric linguistic ideologies in the symbolic and economic (de)valorization processes of nehlueun. The analyses show that indigenous tourism actors negotiate both their autonomy and the value of their linguistic resources and identities in continuous dialogue – confrontation or alignment – with these ideologies.This research offers a contribution to the understanding of the coloniality of processes of linguistic (de)valorization as well as raciolinguistic dynamics in the realm of tourism, especially in Indigenous tourism, a field hitherto scarcely explored by sociolinguistics. It also lays the groundwork for considering the intricate implementation of a collaborative and decolonial ethnographic sociolinguistics and the sociolinguist's role within such a framework

El presente trabajo de investigación tiene como propósito, demostrar a través textos académicos y argumentos científicos, la relación que existe entre el turismo rural en comunidades indígenas amazónicas y la identidad local. Así mismo, las metodologías empleadas fueron; la revisión bibliográfica de artículos académicos, artículos científicos, libros, tesis y publicaciones técnicas basadas en el turismo rural indígena. Así mismo, se considera que el turismo afecta a las comunidades indígenas amazónicas en diferentes aspectos, ya sea en las relaciones sociales, de adaptación y de autonomía de los pobladores. Sin embargo, el turismo rural, logra atraer a turistas extranjeros quienes generan beneficios económicos, pero también desventajas sociales, como la pérdida cultural y el deterioro de identidad. Así mismo, se identificó que el turismo rural puede intervenir de manera positiva respecto a los territorios de las comunidades indígenas, pues puede reducir el riesgo que implican las actividades extractivas y depredadoras de recursos naturales, que con el turismo se lograrían conservar. Sin embargo, también existen desventajas que podrían impactar al medio ambiente si es que la implementación de la actividad turística rural no se desarrolla de la manera adecuada, como; la destrucción del hábitat natural de especies endémicas, lo cual genera la migración de los mismos. Finalmente, luego de demostrar la relación del turismo rural en las comunidades indígenas amazónicas y su influencia en la identidad se pretende recomendar acciones preventivas que protejan el patrimonio tangible e intangible.The purpose of this research work is to demonstrate through academic texts and scientific arguments, the relationship that exists between rural tourism in Amazonian indigenous communities and local identity. Likewise, the methodologies used were; the bibliographic review of academic articles, scientific articles, books, theses and technical publications based on indigenous rural tourism. Likewise, it is considered that tourism affects the Amazonian indigenous communities in different aspects, whether in social relations, adaptation and autonomy of the inhabitants. However, rural tourism manages to attract foreign tourists who obtain economic benefits, but also social disadvantages, such as cultural loss and deterioration of identity. Likewise, it was identified that rural tourism can intervene in a positive way with respect to the territories of indigenous communities, since it can reduce the risk implied by extractive and predatory activities of natural resources, which with tourism would be able to conserve. However, there are also disadvantages that could impact the environment if the implementation of the rural tourism activity is not developed in an adequate way, such as; the destruction of the natural habitat of endemic species, which generates their migration. Finally, after demonstrating the relationship between rural tourism in Amazonian indigenous communities and its influence on identity, it is intended to recommend preventive actions that protect tangible and intangible heritage.

Claverie, l’étude de trois affaires permet de saisir comment de nouvelles revendications ethniques transforment un dispositif patrimonial qui semblait immuable depuis plus d’un demi-siècle. L’analyse s’appuie sur un travail de terrain multisitué (Marcus, 1995). Elle explore les paysages (Appadurai, 2001) patrimoniaux et autochtones du « système monde » en les reliant à trois sites où des parcs archéologiques nationaux se situent au sein ou en bordure de territoires autochtones (Teyuna Ciudad Perdida, San Agustín et Tierradentro). En retraçant la biographie sociale et culturelle des vestiges (Appadurai et Kopytoff, 1986), nous expliquons comment le dispositif patrimonial, mis en place au début du vingtième siècle, est à l’origine d'une valorisation rhétorique et esthétique des racines préhispaniques du pays, mais en aucun cas d'une reconnaissance des peuples autochtones contemporains. Ecartés de l’histoire et de la gestion patrimoniale des parcs, les leaders autochtones entendent, à la fin des années 2000, transformer les régimes de vérité et de patrimonialité qu’ils jugent injustes. L’enjeu est de légitimer leur appropriation des sites afin de justifier leurs demandes de reconnaissance identitaire et territoriale. Le droit autochtone, les principes de l’UNESCO sur la diversité culturelle et le patrimoine immatériel, la pensée décoloniale et les craintes suscitées par le tourisme, sont autant de supports mobilisés pour justifier leurs attentes. Lors des affaires, différents systèmes de légitimité s'affrontent au cours d’épreuves de justice (Boltanski, Thevenot, 1991) et de force. Ce processus renforce les frontières ethniques par un effet d’altérisation patrimoniale et modifie le régime de patrimonialité : les vestiges deviennent les supports de nouvelles pratiques ethniques, rituelles et sacrées, les autochtones acquièrent une place de partenaires dans le nouveau dispositif patrimonial et la valeur relationnelle des artefacts devient aussi importante que leur matérialitéThis thesis aims to understand how Colombia's pre-Hispanic heritage becomes a recognition issue for indigenous peoples, twenty years after the creation of a multicultural and neoliberal constitution. Inspired by the works of L. Boltanski and E. Claverie, the study of three “affairs” makes it possible to understand how new ethnic claims transform a heritage “dispositif” (Foucault, 1977) that seemed immutable for more than half a century. The analysis is based on a multi-sited field work (Marcus, 1995). It explores heritage-scapes (Appadurai, 2001), and indigenous-scapes of the "world system" by linking them to three sites where national archaeological parks are located within or bordering indigenous territories (Teyuna-Ciudad Perdida, San Agustín and Tierradentro). In retracing the social and cultural biography of the vestiges (Appadurai and Kopytoff, 1986), we explain how the heritage “dispositif”, introduced at the beginning of the twentieth century, gave rise to a rhetorical and aesthetic valorization of the country's pre-Hispanic roots, but in no way to the recognition of contemporary indigenous peoples. In the late 2000s, indigenous leaders, who were left out of the history and heritage management of parks, intend to transform the “truth regime” and “heritage regime” they consider unfair. The challenge is to legitimize their appropriation of the sites in order to justify their requests for identity and territorial recognition. Indigenous rights, UNESCO's principles on cultural diversity and intangible heritage, decolonial thinking and fears aroused by tourism are all resources used to justify their expectations. In those “affairs”, different systems of legitimacy clash during “tests of justification” (Boltanski, Thevenot, 1991) and “tests of strength”. This process reinforces ethnic boundaries through a heritage othering effect, and changes the heritage regime: artifacts become the supports of new ethnic, ritual and sacred practices, indigenous peoples acquire a place of partners in the new heritage “dispositif”, and the relational value of vestiges becomes as important as their materiality

La perspectiva analítica del estudio se desarrolla con base en una metodología etnográfica que permite descubrir los procesos que, desde la fundación de las empresas hasta la actualidad, han propiciado el establecimiento de lazos colaborativos. La perspectiva aplicada se conduce mediante un modelo de investigación acción participativa en el cual se incorporan los elementos cognitivos y socio-culturales que son reconocidos como los promotores de la colaboración en la etapa analítica previa. A través de este proceso se descubre que es posible incidir en la dinamización del capital social y en su uso como medio para propiciar la negociación entre actores del sistema turístico y proveer a las empresas indígenas de recursos requeridos para su desarrollo.This research study will integrate an analytical perspective regarding the function of social capital in indigenous tourism ventures located in the Sierra Norte in Oaxaca, Mexico. The analytical perspective of the research is centered on the ethnographic methodology, which is formulated with the intention to investigate company processes which have led to the to-date establishment of collaborative relationships. The applied approach presents an investigatory model in which cognitive and socio-cultural elements, as mentioned in the aforementioned analytical phase, are recognized as promotors of such collaboration. Through a detailed analysis of this process, it is possible to influence the revival of social capital and its use as a means to foster negotiations between various stakeholders in the tourism industry as well as to provide indigenous companies with the necessary resources for their continued development.

This doctoral thesis aims to contribute to the development of an emerging theory of community-based tourism (CBT), defining it as community-driven governance (CDG) and as social entrepreneurship, both analyzed as dimensions of community agency (CA). The research focuses on indigenous communities whose traditional governance (called uses and customs) is directly linked to tourism community-based enterprises (CBEs). A theoretical sample of three indigenous communities is analyzed; despite each case have developed a CBT model, they have followed different processes. This study applied the grounded theory; consequently, this is an inductive and qualitative research, based on constant comparisons. The data was collected through 48 in-depth interviews in four stages, during the 2011-2017 period. The results indicate that in a context of indigenous CBT, there is a strong link between the CDG and the CBE, and that the evolution of both dimensions directly affects the local CBT model.La tesis pretende contribuir al desarrollo de una teoría del turismo de base comunitaria (TBC) definiéndolo como una gobernanza dirigida por la comunidad (GDC)y como un emprendimiento social, ambos analizados como dimensiones de agencia comunitaria (AC).

This essay looks at cultural commoditization by indigenous people in Third World countries in response to tourism. The common assumption is that commoditization invalidates a culture and that it somehow becomes inauthentic. I show that even though the Indians of the Peruvian highlands sell their “Indianess” for tourists to photograph, the real commoditization takes place by mestizos who appropriate Indian culture: their dress, rituals, handicrafts. The Indians and
mestizos are both trying to maximize their share of tourism revenue, little of which actually gets to the highlands. Neither culture, however, becomes inauthentic in the process. While the meanings of cultural products may be altered over time, no culture is static and fixed in time: new meanings are relevant within the context of contemporary society.

Indigenous Tribe, with its ample and unique nature and culture resources, can provide people an opportunity of in-depth travel to be intimate with the nature and to experience the different culture; hence, it has played a potential role in the tourism industry in Taiwan. Quite a few people regard tourism as a way to revitalize Indigenous Tribes; however, many researches have indicated that traditional culture has faded away and the environments have been damaged as tourism brings economic benefits to the Indigenous Tribes. If the balance among environment, economy and socio-culture is not reached or maintained, the Indigenous Tribes will gradually fall down. Therefore, this study aims at constructing practical indicators for sustainable development of Indigenous Tribe Tourism from the perspectives of ecology, indigenous culture and community. Drawing on related literatures, four significant aspects of the indicators were identified: tourists, residents, the travel distribution channel and the government. With three factors (environmental, economic and socio-cultural) in each aspect, a total of 12 factors were established. A panel of 28 experts was invited to provide feedback for the development of indicators. After two steps of Delphi survey from July 9 to August 22 in 2008, a consensus was reached for the set of 58 implementation indicators. Besides, the result of a survey of Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) carried from September 24 to October 8 indicated that “resident” is the core in the Indigenous tribe tourism market; in addition, the expert group holds the attitude that the environmental and social-cultural factors count more than the economic one. As for the site of empirical study, Smangus was chosen in this research both quantitative and qualitative methods were conducted. Questionnaires were distributed to 64 tourists, 22 residents, 16 representative in travel distribution channels, and 20 representatives in the government from November 18 to December 16. Also in-dept interviews were conducted to one tourist, one resident, one representative in travel distribution channel, and one government representative from December 5 to 10. From the results conveyed in these two surveys, it may be induced that the top priority for Smangus to improve are as follows: “tourists’ participation in the cultural and ecological activities”, “tourists’ avails of the illustration interpretation survey service provided by local residents”, “tourists’ appreciation and participation in local cultural events”, “interaction between tourists and local residents” and “residents’ participation in the training of interpretation and tourism services”. Finally, this research has proposed suitable ways for Smangus’ future tourism, and it has also proven the applicability for the indicators constructed in this thesis from the above empirical results.

Espinosa, Abascal Trinidad. "Australian Indigenous Tourism: why the low participation rate from domestic tourists?" Thesis, 2014. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/25795/.
Full textAbstract:
Tourism is often promoted as a development tool for Indigenous communities. However, Tourism Research Australia shows that domestic demand for Australian Indigenous tourism products, in comparison to four other types of mainstream tourism, is quite low. To explore why domestic visitors are less engaged in Indigenous tourism than other tourism types, this study adopts a mixed-methods case study approach. Semi-structured interviews using sorting-ranking photo-based procedures were conducted with 52 domestic visitors at Halls Gap, within the Grampians National Park, Victoria, Australia.
The findings suggest that domestic visitors‟ preferences for Indigenous tourism activities are inconsistently distributed. While many domestic visitors are willing to visit the rock-art sites, they are less interested in experiencing the cultural centre. Despite these differences in preferences, the motivations for engaging in both activities are similar. These motivations are: Learning, connection with history/land, appreciation, learning opportunities for children, explore/discovery, understanding, physical challenge/adventure, and reflection. However, domestic visitors at the destination under investigation are more willing to experience rock-art sites, as they perceive it to be an activity that is more connected with history/land, that involves physical activity and that feels more authentic. Two types of barriers –internal and external- when engaging in these activities are identified. The internal barriers are: Lack of interest, prefer other activities, saturation, and limited time available. The external barriers identified are: Inauthentic/passive, not being in the target audience, lack of awareness, boring, and indoor activity (mentioned as a barrier to participating in the cultural centre).
This study proposes that Australian Indigenous tourism strategies look beyond the creation of Indigenous tourism products such as cultural centres, and consider focussing on those areas that can have a more significant impact upon the domestic tourism participation rate in Indigenous tourism. This focus includes marketing strategies directed to the domestic target market, training, and further developing points of differentiation between Indigenous cultures in Australia.

Indigenous tourism in Taiwan has developed rapidly and undergone constant innovation. The novelty and exoticness of indigenous cultures of Taiwan has drawn the attention of many tourists and indigenous areas have become popular tourist spots. The core value of indigenous tourism lies in providing tourists with an unforgettable tourism gaze. Simultaneously, indigenous tourism provides an authentic travel experience to induce tourists’ attachment to tribal areas. Thus, whether tourism gaze and authenticity can arouse tourists’ attachment to tribal areas are a basis for sustainable development of indigenous tourism and an important research topic. In this study, we focused on the relationships among tourism gaze, tourism authenticity, and place attachment. The empirical research subjects were indigenous residents of the Alishan National Scenic Area. Our study carried out the following : 1) Evaluation indicators for tourism gaze, tourism authenticity, and place attachment were established through interviews and field studies; 2) Tourism gaze were extracted using factor analysis and described as 8 following factors: food culture, landscape and ecology, tribe cultural landscape, social relations, cultural goods, image, tribe industry, atmosphere. Place attachment is described as 8 following factors: place identity and place dependent; 3) Landscape and ecology is the highest of tourism gaze, landscape and ecology is the highest of tourism authenticity, and place dependent is the highest of place attachment; 4)Via one-way ANOVA, the level of education effects landscape and ecology, social relations, cultural goods, image and tribe industry of tourism gaze. The average of monthly income effects image and atmosphere of tourism authenticity; 5) In the linear structural equation, tourism gaze effects tourism authenticity and place attachment; tourism authenticity effects place attachment. And tourism authenticity is important variable for tourism gaze and place attachment. The results of this study could be beneficial for future development of indigenous tourism that provides tourists with a unique tourism experience, strengthens the status of indigenous tourism for tourists, and increases the benefits of indigenous tourism. The evaluation scale regarding tourist gaze, authenticity, and attachment established by this study could serve as a reference for future studies on indigenous tourism.

In 2006, Taiwan Tourism Bureau indicated that the min priorities for domestic tourism are to enhance the quality of festival activities and make the culture festival and events accessible and understandable for visitors. In order to promote Taiwan aborigine tourism and enhance tourism image for aborigine tourism, Taiwan Tourism Bureau executed a new tourism slogan “Naruwan, Welcome to Taiwan” to present Taiwan tourism industry since year 2005. For aboriginal community development, tribe festivals are used to incite aboriginal travels and cultivate tribe new images. In the recent years, tribe festival activities have been opened to the public. “The United Harvest Festival in Hualien Festival of Austroesion”, representative of Ami tradition festivals, is one of famous activities, which integrate many different festivals in Hualien area and is also considered as the first festival open to the public and an very traditional festival which still preserved the aboriginal culture and history. The purposes of this research are to investigate image formation process for tourism images including organic image, induced image and complex image and to identify the relationship between tourists’ tourism image, traveling experience and involvement and furthermore to develop different marketing strategies. Three types of study population are identified for data collection including potential tourists who never visit Hualien United Harvest Festival and still stay on organic image towards this festival, first-time visitors with induced image and repeated visitors with complex images toward Hualien United Harvest Festival. The data was collect in three locations: Tamsui(organic image), entrance of Hualien Festival of Austroesion(induced image)and exit of Hualien Festival of Austroesion(complex image). The study result indicated that three types of visitors agreed on the statement that “Aborigines are good at singing and dancing in the festival activities”. However, visitors with different stages of tourism images have statistically significant differences on their perceptions towards Hualien United Harvest Festival. Moreover visitors with different involvement on festival also expressed statistically significant differences on their perceptions towards Hualien United Harvest Festival. The findings from the Structural Equation Modeling indicated that there are some significant differences in involvement aspect with experience, and experience aspect with the tourism image. According to the findings of this study, suggestions for the government and future studies were proposed.

Full textAbstract:
Tourism is often suggested as a development strategy for Indigenous people in achieving economic independence, and improving the life and conditions of the community while protecting the culture and natural resources. However, without actual visitor participation, the good intentions of tourism policy cannot be achieved. In Australia, visitor participation in Indigenous tourism is very low. By using an innovative photo-based method, semi-structured interviews, a survey, and the Q methodology in three case studies (Katherine, Northern Territory; Cairns, Queensland; and the Grampians, Victoria), this study aimed to investigate the visitor consumer behaviour process in relation to choosing Indigenous tourism activities for leisure while they are travelling in Australia. In particular, it investigated the Indigenous visitor profile, preferences and intention to participate, motivations, constraints and opinions (attitudes) of visitors in regard to Indigenous tourism activities while they are at a particular destination. Participants of this study consisted of travelling visitors at specific destinations. Overall, 664 visitors undertook the first stage of the data collection (ranking-sorting photo-based procedure, semi-structured interview and survey) and 77 visitors undertook the second stage (the Q methodology).

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Indigenous communities around the world are becoming involved in tourism development to gain the social, economic, cultural and environmental benefits that the sector can offer. However, limitations in accessing resources, funding, support and skill-training may reduce many of the possible benefits of tourism development. These limitations may lead Indigenous communities to either not engage in tourism development or engage in options that may not best suit Indigenous people. The lack of suitable engagement options with Indigenous communities can lead to issues such as: commodification of culture; inauthenticity of cultural representation; loss of Indigenous knowledge, heritage and values; as well as the continuous deficit of social benefits, such as education and skill-training. This study aims to examine how alternative, digital options for engagement in, and control over, tourism development may mitigate these limitations and issues for Indigenous peoples and communities, while increasing the benefits of tourism development. The research for this study was conducted with the Wagiman community of Pine Creek in the Northern Territory (NT) of Australia, who possess distinct representations of culture, identity and knowledge of country, as well as a broad range of data resources, including: collections of placenames; geographic data; ethnobiology data; interviews; and access to already established tourism infrastructures. These data resources support the evaluation of digital mapping and marketing of Wagiman knowledge through Google maps, websites and mobile apps as well as the feasibility of Indigenous tourism development, the conservation of local heritage, and potentially positive social benefits and political influence for the long term. The objective of this research is to determine: 1.) The options for engaging with the Wagiman participants in ways that benefit and empower the wider Wagiman and Pine Creek communities. 2.) Whether the Wagiman people of Pine Creek wish to engage in tourism development, and if so, what the options for engagement might be. 3.) Whether digital options for engagement in tourism development are viable for the authentic sharing, conservation and promotion of Wagiman heritage to tourists, younger generations of Wagiman people as well as the wider Pine Creek community. 4.) If tourists visiting Pine Creek are interested in local and Aboriginal tourism attractions and/or would access Wagiman knowledge on digital platforms while travelling. 5.) How should digital tourism and heritage products be managed to advance longer-term sustainability. This study finds that adopting Wagiman methodologies of research, such as oral knowledge-sharing on-site in Wagiman country, as well as through digital interpretation off-site, may help promote and conserve Wagiman, and wider community, heritage in Pine Creek. Digital options of Wagiman engagement in tourism may: 1.) foster local pride and empowerment by providing access to tourism and heritage resources, education and skill-training in research and development 2.) create stronger bonds of trust and friendship with outside researchers while conducting Wagiman-led research on-site and on-line 3.) promote awareness and authentic Wagiman heritage to tourists and locals 4.) diversify local tourism developments and 5.) create an integrated Wagiman and non-Indigenous co-management system for maintaining digital tourism products and heritage promotion for the long-term. The findings of this study suggest that adopting Indigenous methodologies may help engage Indigenous people and communities in leading research and development through culturally appropriate options thus decolonising tourism research and development while promoting trust between researchers and communities for long-term heritage conservation and social empowerment. This research is partly funded by an Australian Research Council (ARC) grant that focuses more broadly on providing practical, digital outputs for archiving spatial, biocultural knowledge of Aboriginal communities in Australia.

Abstract This ethnography describes how an Amis community responded to the impact of tourism through the impulse of the younger generations’ initiatives. Pisirian, an Amis tribe in Taitung, under the influence of different governmental policies, became gradually a sightseeing spot in recent years, known as the village of Jimmy because of images of the famous Taiwanese illustrator. Facing these external forces, Amis younger generations intervened in the indigenous tourism with the purpose of cultural revitalization, and dealt with the problem of cultural disruption among the elders. Administrations, enterprises and environmental NGO, involved in the process, adopted progressively a new attitude towards the indigenous place. Since 2013, reinitiating the tradition of kaput naming – Amis age organization, the younger generations changed the gender, internal/external boundaries, and inscribed new social memories in themselves. And through the event of Amis harvest festival - malikuda, they constructed relationships with each other, and became members of a new Amis community in the 21st century.

Due to the decline of birth rates, many remote elementary schools in indigenous tribes are facing problems of abolishment in Taiwan. Some of the elementary schools take advantage of their tribal resources to solve this dilemma. The integration of natural and cultural characteristics into the study tour attracts many child tourists. Therefore, educational tourism shows a strong growing potential in remote elementary schools in Taiwan. This study investigated the study tour programs in remote elementary schools in Fu-Shing District, Tauyuan County in Taiwan. Using the method of in-depth interview, this study interviewed a total 12 schools and 7 school principles. Basing on the viewpoint of the planning manger (school principles), this study explores how remote elementary schools apply indigenous culture learning to their curriculum design, and understanding the issues that they should take into consideration to make an educational tourism landscape more appropriate for children.The study results found that the school principles all had strong enthusiasms for developing educational tourism in school and have a sincere commitment to local cultures. These two were the main forces to promote the study tours for children within the remote elementary schools. The concept of experiential learning was also fully applied in their culture study tours for children. These schools thus became bridges for communications between different cultures and educational learning. Furthemore, most of the schools received the funding from the government as well as the support from local tribes. These supports made these schools create better learning landscape environments that meet the developmental needs of educational tourism. Furthermore, the interesting activities of the curriculum design and the alternative leisure style enabled remote indigenous schools as important places to develop culture learning for child tourists.

The indigenous culture now become popular and attractive many tourists crowding into the village. Comes with it are the hotels and amusement parks, invested and established by enterprise groups, springing up over the indigenous tribe. But the investors usually do not consider what the local people really need, and ignore their voices when they make the plan. To preserve indigenous culture, protect living environment, and solve economic problems, more and more tribe residents promote tribal tourism their own. But does tourism a suitable industry to the tribe? Can tribal tourism really do the help solve the above-mentioned problems? This study aims to discuss this by understanding the history and the present of the Aljungic Tribe, and how they promote their tribal tourism. The team promote indigenous tourism of Aljungic Tribe is constructed mainly by local residents; they share indigenous culture, ecological knowledge and modern environment issues the tribe faced to the tourists. This kind of development mode makes tourists learn more about Aljungic tribe, and the most important is it really helps construct the tribal consciousness and rise residents’ self-identification.

Full textAbstract:
The tourism industry is particularly reliant on the use of imagery to create a brand for a destination or attraction in order to effectively market its product. In the case of Indigenous tourism, a paradox often exists between maintaining a level of recognition and familiarity that mirror the expectations of the public imagination, and conveying a representation that is locally meaningful and emblematic. Investigation into the visual representation and communication of identity through tourism is a means to illustrate three overlapping issues that are prevalent throughout the literature on Indigenous tourism. These are: control, authenticity, and hybridity. This research project addresses these issues through an extensive review of anthropological and tourism-related literature and its application to the specific case study of one Indigenous tourism business, the Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre (NDCC), owned and operated by the Osoyoos Indian Band (OIB) in Osoyoos, British Columbia (BC), Canada. Semiotic and visual analyses are used to elucidate the messages about OIB identity communicated through the Centre’s visuals, in order to bring the example of the OIB and NDCC into conversation with the larger issues found within Indigenous tourism.Graduate
