Given the rapidly increasing visitation levels to Fraser Island, there is increasing concern that tourist activities may threaten the long-term ecological health of the region's unique dune lakes. This project aimed to investigate the consequences of tourist use of Fraser Island's dune lakes and to develop appropriate monitoring tools and management objectives in light of the projected increases in visitation levels in the foreseeable future. The initial phase of this research aimed to identify the relative importance of some of the most popular dune lakes on the island as key destinations for tourists. Tourist surveys, in conjunction with the development of a Tourist Pressure Index (TPI), which quantifies logistic, social and natural variables, identified Lakes McKenzie, Allom and Birrabeen as the lakes most at risk from excessive tourist use. In addition, analyses of water quality in 15 lakes on Fraser Island aimed to determine the current trophic status of dune lakes on Fraser Island and the ecological implications of tourist use of these systems. Detailed comparisons of nutrient and chlorophyll a concentrations in five popular dune lakes in February 1990 (data from Arthington et al. 1990) and February 1999 suggested that productivity has increased significantly in the past decade. More detailed examinations of nutrient and algal variables in five popular perched dune lakes revealed that while ambient nutrient and phytoplankton chlorophyll a concentrations remained relatively stable, periphyton chlorophyll a concentrations increased over the course of the 1999-2000 summer in most lakes. Significantly, these increases were found only in heavily visited (disturbed) sites in the clear lakes examined (McKenzie and Birrabeen). In these lakes, where algal growth is likely to be only limited by nutrient availability, tourist nutrient additions may stimulate excessive periphyton production. Experimental algal bioassays identified that phytoplankton and to a lesser degree periphyton growth was stimulated by nutrient additions in all five perched dune lakes. However, the degree to which growth was stimulated was both lake and nutrient (nitrogen versus phosphorus versus nitrogen + phosphorus) dependent, highlighting the variable nature of systems within a relatively small geographic range. Since periphyton biomass was higher in heavily visited areas of lakes and was likely to be stimulated by nutrient additions by tourists, stable isotope analyses of littoral zone food webs were conducted to quantify the percent contribution of periphyton to consumer diets. There was a trend towards higher periphyton contributions in systems identified as key tourist locations (on the basis of their TPI scores) and this indicates that increasing visitation may increase the contribution of periphyton to littoral zone food webs, both via increases in the quantity and quality of periphyton as a food resource. To further explore the contribution of periphyton in littoral zone food webs of heavily visited lakes, a 15N-tracer addition experiment was conducted to establish the fate of nutrient additions within the littoral zone. Nutrients were added in quantities that mimicked those likely from tourists, to enable a realistic appraisal of the fate of tourist additions. As expected, periphyton rapidly assimilated the added 15N-tracer and was found to be the first and most significant sink for nutrients entering the littoral zone. Finally, the results from this research were used to develop a conceptual model of nutrient enrichment for perched dune lakes on Fraser Island. The model indicates that although nutrient additions from tourists may lead to undesirable increases in periphyton biomass, the degree to which this is deemed to be a detrimental ecological outcome is likely to be mediated by water level fluctuations and the consumptive capacity of grazers. Given that excessive periphyton growth is likely to be seen as negative impact of tourism, regular periphyton monitoring (biomass and percent contribution to littoral zone food webs) should be built into an updated monitoring program for this series of dune lakes. Whilst the implementation of periphyton monitoring is likely to enable the early detection of deleterious impacts of excessive tourist use, it is likely that the long-term conservation of the region will, in the future, require the implementation of strict visitation level guidelines, to ensure that the irreversible consequences of long term additions of nutrients are ameliorated.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to understand how the creation of tourist identity and local identity is impacted by the tourist experience and the conscious manipulation of the physical environment for the sake of tourism. The role of tourism in shaping how visitors and local community members create or affirm a sense of self or regional identity is investigated. The history and appeal of the Lake of the Ozarks in central Missouri is examined, which illuminates the kinds of places and experiences tourists seek out as part of a process of conscious identity affirmation. Finally, this thesis concerns the perception of and attitude toward the natural environment and how it plays a role not only for recreational purposes, but the development of regional and personal relationships to nature, which in turn play a significant role in the identity formation and affirmation processes.

Full textAbstract:
Please write a brief description of your work, or copy an abstract you have included in the Thesis Walking is the principal outdoor recreation activity in the UK, and a significant part of the tourism offer. However, tourism study has not previously given significant attention to match participation levels. Furthermore, the range of participation in evidence necessitates a closer investigation. Walkers vary widely in the frequency of their walks, how important walking is in their tourism activity, and their motivations and preferences in walking environments. A combination of data collection methods involved a qualitative programme of 23 interviews with walking practitioners and an extensive survey questionnaire of walkers in the English Lake District (n=518). The study was framed by a grounded theory approach. This research design methodology reflects the exploratory nature of the study. Additionally it addresses the fact that the UK walking market is at present, supplied by a nebulous collection of sectors, which are as yet, not as congruent in their approach to management as they could be. The study resulted in a number of important findings which add to the body of knowledge on walking in national parks and other rural tourism environments. The range of walking activity can be explained in part by individual levels of confidence in the activity. Participants are either ‘casual’ or ‘serious’ in their approach towards walking; and this distinction enables research to conceptualise an activity which spans more extreme recreational activities such as mountaineering, and the significant part of the market who will walk whilst on holiday, or on day visits, but elsewise not frequently. Route-choice was found to be related to, but not dependent on the casual-serious typology: one individual could be serious in their approach but undertake less demanding, ‘more casual’ walks at certain times. This can be built upon by future research, to understand the motivations of individuals in more depth.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of cross-border tourism planning and cooperation is investigated in reference to the Lake !Gariep Initiative. The field of cross-border economic planning and integration is an area of increasing interest in regional development studies. The Lake Gariep Initiative is an initiative to promote cross-border planning and development around nature conservation, water resource management, economic development, poverty alleviation and tourism in the three municipalities that surround the Gariep Dam. The Gariep Dam, which is largest dam in South Africa, is surrounded by three provinces. The region is also economically and politically marginalised as it has a small, dispersed population and a marginal contribution to the broader regional economy. Under these circumstances the coordination of resources between municipalities to develop and promote the region has been identified as a key success factor for the region. The Lake Gariep Initiative although strongly supported locally has over ten years failed to be institutionalised. This study examines the Lake Gariep Initiative in terms of the origins of the concept and the key challenges that have been faced in establishing a cross-border, development entity. Findings are based on an assessment of documents on the formation of the LGI, interviews with stakeholders involved in the process and an assessment of critical success factors in reference to national and international case studies. This study provides a review of the key challenges, benefits and critical success factors for cross-border tourism development in relation to the Lake !Gariep Initiative.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis proposes a large wine estate on the shores of one of New York’s Finger Lakes. The estate’s prominent location on Bluff Point demands an architecture that reinforces the vineyard’s highly visible regional presence. Not only a winery, this estate includes a teaching center for viticulture, allowing continual vineyard experimentation. The public is encouraged to tour the estate, and is courted with a restaurant and tasting facility.
Over a five year period, 50 acres of vineyards on the 200 acre property would be phased in, producing 10,000 cases yearly. Further expansion is anticipated in ten years.
The traditional rituals of the wine harvest provide the ideas behind the architecture of the estate. The project explores transformations as a way to honor these traditions, extending outward on the site to redefine the vineyard as massive terraces. Inside the winery, the transformation of grapes to wine is sequenced from one level to another, allowing the architecture to reinforce the theme of procession that already is established on the site.Master of Architecture

Squire, Shelagh Jennifer. "Meanings, myths and memories : literary tourism as cultural discourse in Beatrix Potter's Lake District." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 1991. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1317609/.
Full textAbstract:
Tourism is about the production and consumption, and the transformation and appropriation of cultural meanings. These meanings are imposed on landscapes to facilitate economic development but their interpretation by visitors is also important. A case study of Beatrix Potter tourism in the English Lake District is used to explore the links between literary tourism and a range of personal, social and cultural values. The thesis develops a cultural studies approach for tourism and literary analyses. It then combines qualitative and quantitative research methods to evaluate how visitors made sense of their encounters with the literary place. From the resulting field study material three key themes emerged: childhood and adulthood; city, country and preservation; and marketing literary heritage in an increasingly global context. These themes both reflect and contribute to contemporary debates in cultural geography. They also help to clarify aspects of the relationship between tourism, popular culture and society.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to explore methodological issues in a choice experiment (CE); to ascertain how they might be used to improve the reliability of valuation estimates. Three methodological issues are explored; whether the status quo (SQ) is relevant as one of the alternatives in the CE choice sets; whether respondents ignore any of the attributes presented in the choice set, and the implications this has for estimating willingness to pay; and the effect of different distributional assumptions of random parameters in the Mixed Logit Model: does it matter what distributional assumption is employed? These issues were explored through a study of recreational visitors to Kenyir Lake in Malaysia. Currently, no entrance fee is charged to visitors using Kenyir Lake. But there are government plans to develop Kenyir Lake which involve public investment. Public authorities need to understand visitors' preferences towards facilities, and whether the benefits of improving these facilities justify the cost. The main findings are: 1) including the SQ on choice card does not affect the results substantially, 2) it is important to account for attribute non-attendance, and 3) except for the lognormal distribution, different specifications of the mixing distribution do not make that much difference in WTP values. This study delivers two fundamental contributions. Firstly, it demonstrates the importance of taking into account methodological issues in a CE, and in the analysis of the CE models. The study also provides methodological recommendations for future CE studies. Secondly, it investigates visitors' preferences for tourist facilities and offers policy recommendations regarding the improvement of these facilities. Accounting for methodological issues in a choice experiment is shown to help and provide a deeper understanding regarding the challenges of applying this method; and this thesis offers recommendations on how to apply CE in the future.

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.

This study examined whether sustainable tourism development could be achieved in the Lake Victoria shore region of southern Uganda, based on the physical environment indicators of sustainable tourism. This arose out of the observation that tourism in this region was developing in an unplanned manner which was likely to be environmentally destructive. The study was conducted as a cross-sectional descriptive survey involving an analytical research design. Its objectives include: to identify the spatial and temporal characteristics of the tourism sites; to assess their performance relative to the physical environment indicators of sustainable tourism; to examine the factors explaining the performance of the sites; and to develop a planning approach that will help attain sustainable tourism development. Data were collected using survey, non-survey and geo-spatial methods. The survey methods included interviews and questionnaires, which were administered to planning and environment officials, local residents and visitors selected using various sample methods. Documentary analysis, field observation, remote sensing and experimentation were among the nonsurvey and geo-spatial methods used. Data were analysed using qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques, which included documentary analysis, statistical techniques involving, chi square, data reduction, ANOVA, and correlation and regression analysis. Results indicate that lakeshore tourism sites are increasing in both number and size, which is gradually resulting in a clustered spatial patterning, especially in urban areas. Sites are receiving an increasing number of visitors, mainly nationals and day visitors. Apart from conservation areas, the contribution of the sites to nature conservation is concluded to be minimal and their management of solid and sewage waste, water quality and use intensity generally poor. Moreover, tourism planning and development control was found to either be limited or lacking, a situation that has resulted in unregulated tourism development. This poses a significant threat, not only to the fragile physical environment of the lakeshore region, but also to the future of lakeshore tourism itself. Analysis of the results show that there are significant relationships between spatial distribution of sites, their characteristics, site performance and factors explaining the performance and planning for sustainable tourism development in the region. Further analysis indicates that each of these variables may significantly predict planning, especially at site and local government level. Accordingly, a linear regression model-based planning approach is developed. This study explains how the model, when rooted in incremental planning theory, can be applied in order to plan for sustainable tourism in the lakeshore region. It highlights the variables and the sequence in which tourism planning efforts can be applied. The study concludes that, although this planning approach may not provide a panacea to the achievement of sustainable tourism development in the lakeshore region, it represents a valuable contribution towards the understanding of sustainable tourism planning. With the identification of critical tourism planning intervention points, the Lake Victoria shore region may be able to develop into a major tourism destination that is environmentally sustainable.

Thesis, Angers, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014ANGE0020.
Full textAbstract:
Au XIXe siècle, les premiers espaces protégés d'Occident durent lier une mission de protection de l'environnement à celle d'accueil du public, et notamment des touristes. Ce double objectif se retrouve aujourd'hui dans des espaces protégés qui se veulent,depuis 1970, intégrateurs. Une première étude (2006-2008) au sein d'un Parc Naturel Régional avait révélé l'existence d'une tension entre l'objectif de protection et celui de développement touristique : les touristes y étaient perçus comme une menace, et les gestionnaires se consacraient plus volontiers à la protection. Dans cette thèse, nous avons voulu prolong er la réflexion à partir de trois espaces : le Parc National du Lake District (Royaume-Uni), l'Espace Naturel de Doñana(Espagne) et le Parc Naturel Régional du Verdon (France). Notre enjeu est de vérifier si la même tension entre protection environnementale et développement touristique y est sensible, dans quelle mesure, et pour quelles raisons cette tension se manifeste (ou non) .Après une analyse de contenu mettant en lumière la façon plutôt sévère dont le tourisme est traité dans les discours, l'étude de l'aménagement des espaces, du système d'acteurs en présence et des chiffres du tourisme montrent une rupture totale entre les espaces protégés, leurs gestionnaires et les touristes dont les pratiques ne sont pas comprises ni acceptées. L'étude de facteurs culturels et historiques permettant d'explique rune telle tension révèle la forte influence de l'ancienneté du tourisme dans le lieu, de l'ancrage artistique, de l'histoire politique, religieuse et économique sur la définition de la nature et l'acceptation du tourisme dans chaque espaceDuring the 19 th century, the first protected areas in the Western world were created and had two missions to fulfil : environmental protection and promoting opportunities for enjoyment in order to welcome tourists. Since 1970 newly created protected areas have followed this double goal. The first 'Parc Naturel Régional' we studied from 2006 to 2008 had such goals but the relationship between the environmental protection goal and the tourism development goal was very tense. Tourists were seen as a threat, and managers had rather focusing on environmental protection. This thesis deals with three protected areas : the Lake District National Park (UK), the 'Espacio Natural de Doñana' (Spain) and the 'Parc Naturel Régional du Verdon' (France). What is at stake is the discovery of whether or not the tension is real between environmental protection and tourism in these areas. We aim at understanding in what way this tension can be felt and the reasons why these areas experience this tension (or not). After a content analysis showing that words used by managers were quite severe about tourists, we study the way the area is spatially ordered ,the relationships between actors, and statistics in tourism, revealing a total breaking off between the protected area, managers and tourists, whose practices are not understood nor accepted. The study of cultural and historical factors that can explain this tension shows a strong influence of the history of tourism,artistic heritage, political and economical history on the way nature is defined and the way tourism is accepted in each area

Full textAbstract:
It is well documented that the search for spirituality or spiritual transcendence is a defining characteristic of contemporary society. Paralleling this theme, it has also been argued that tourism, as a pervasive social activity, may be considered a modern sacred experience, a search for spiritual transcendence. However, few attempts have been made to explore empirically this alleged relationship between tourism and spirituality, particularly in the context of space-specific tourist activities, such as rural tourism. Once the domain of philosophers, academic knowledge of place, sense of place and place attachment has largely become the territory of human geographers who have contributed to defining these concepts and who, moreover, are responsible for classifying the complex interactions of humans with space and place. Present research undertaken has been directed at wilderness and outdoor environments and the concept of spirituality has, largely, been indirectly studied or purely arises as an outcome of the research. To date, limited academic attention has been paid to enhancing understanding of the role that ‘place’, specifically rural place, as a social construct, has in influencing physically active tourists’ emotive outcomes and in particular, spiritual expressions. The purpose of this study, therefore, is to explore critically the concept of place with reference to the countryside, seeking in particular to identify the impact of constructed place on the emotive/spiritual experience of tourists engaging in physical pursuits in rural areas. More specifically, the location of the study focus is the Lake District National Park, a unique and popular rural landscape that embodies the socially constructed image of a rural idyll. Rural tourism, a prevalent contemporary activity offering a sharp contrast to the urban experience, is largely under-researched in respect to the potential spirituality of such experiences. This study facilitates the building of a contextual framework reflecting the dynamic tripartite relationship of place meaning, setting and physical activity and how these three concepts link to spiritual experience. It addresses a gap in academic literature by exploring rural tourism and the potential spiritual dimension of this activity drawing attention to the role that sense of place and physical activity plays in spiritual experiences. Academic research has, largely, focussed on tourists’ overall experiences of place and activity, only noting spirituality as a response to certain environments and activities. In addressing this gap, this research seeks to clarify understanding of contemporary spirituality and identify clearly the spiritual dimension of the active rural tourist, pinpointing the external and internal elements influencing these experiences. The research in this thesis incorporates phenomenological processes. These are employed initially in focus groups to develop emergent themes and, in the second stage, by way of a conversational interview format to encourage the flow of subjective commentary, thereby eliciting rich, thick data necessary for understanding the complexities of spiritual occurrence in a specific 'place’. The findings show that the rural tourist does not consciously search for spirituality but there is a spiritual dimension to rural visitors’ experiences of the countryside. Place plays an important part in these experiences but sense of place, although frequently intensifying spiritual experiences, is not shown to be the embodiment of spiritual experience. Spirituality, as a dimension of rural tourism, develops from a tri-partite relationship incorporating aspects of physical location, physical activity and place meaning.

Certains lacs-réservoirs subissent une évolution permanente de leurs usages qui varient de la production énergétique à l’usage récréatif : c’est le cas pour le lac du barrage d’Eguzon, appelé aussi lac Chambon, bâti dans les premiers contreforts du Massif central. Malgré une construction très controversée au début du XXe siècle, le barrage semble avoir acquis une acceptabilité sociale par son ancrage socioéconomique dans son territoire. Un des objectifs de la thèse est d’utiliser le cas remarquable de sa longue existence pour comprendre le changement de paradigme environnemental, entre l’époque de sa construction, avec une vision productiviste, et l’époque actuelle, marquée par une valorisation touristique balnéaire en dépit des problèmes environnementaux, son eutrophisation avancée et ses proliférations de cyanobactéries, qui fragilisent son acceptabilité sociale.Pour évaluer l’état trophique du lac Chambon et comprendre le processus de ses proliférations de cyanobactéries, nous avons proposé un nouvel indice de statut trophique composé de cinq variables et l’application d’une approche de géographie limnologique à partir de deux échelles, l’échelle du lac combinée à l’échelle de son bassin hydrographique. Des campagnes de prélèvements ont été menées à ces deux échelles à l’aide de deux procédés limnologiques, bouée thermistance, sonde multi-paramètres ; le suivi de la masse algale par fluorescence, sonde FluoroProbe ; un Photomètre multi-paramètres pour le suivi des nutriments et le Disque de Secchi pour le suivi de la transparence.À l’échelle du lac-réservoir, cette thèse évalue le rôle de son fonctionnement limnique et biochimique dans ses proliférations de cyanobactéries. À l’échelle du bassin versant du lac, ce travail confirme que le lac Chambon est sous l’influence de son bassin versant pour tous les apports, y compris en nutriments. La cause durable de la dégradation de sa qualité de l’eau est le fait de ses tributaires fluviaux, les eaux lacustres n’étant qu’un révélateur du problème, du fait de leur capacité d’auto-épuration moindreSome reservoir lakes undergo a permanent evolution of their uses; varies from energy production to recreational use; this is the case for the Eguzon dam lake, also called Lac Chambon, built in the foot hills of the Massif Central. Despite a very controversial construction at the beginning of the 20th century, the dam appears to be socially acceptable because of its socioeconomic anchorage in its territory. One of the objectives of the thesis is to use the remarkable case of its long existence to understand the change of environmental paradigm, between the time of its construction, productivist vision, then the current era, marked by a seaside tourism valorization curbed by environmental problems, its advanced eutrophication and its proliferation of cyanobacteria, which weakens its social acceptability.To evaluate the trophic status of Chambon Lake and to understand the process of its cyanobacterial blooms, we proposed a new index of trophic status composed of five variables and the application of a limnological geography approach from two scales, the scale of the lake combined at the scale of its watershed. Sampling campaigns were conducted at these two scales using two limnological methods, buoy thermistance, multi-parameter probe; the monitoring of the algal mass by fluorescence, FluoroProbe; a multi-parameter photometer for monitoring nutrients and the Secchi Disk for monitoring transparency.At the lake-reservoir scale, this thesis evaluates the role of its limnic and biochemical functioning in its cyanobacterial blooms. At the scale of the lake's watershed, this work confirms that Lake Chambon is under the influence of its watershed for all inputs, including nutrients. The long-term cause of the degradation of its water qualityis the fact of its river tributaries, its lacustrine waters being only a revealer of the problem, because of their capacity of less self-purification

Abstract This research aims to discuss the correlation of Tourists’ Travel Motivation, Leisure Benefits and Tourists’ Satisfaction for the tourists with various socio-economic backgrounds, and analyze the factors of willingness to re-visit to West Lake Resortopia. 384 valid responsive questionnaires were collected and then analyzed with SPSS, descriptive statistics, t-analysis, variance analysis, factor analysis and relevant analysis. The results indicate that for the tourists to West Lake Resortopia, Tourist’s Travel Motivation depend on age, level of education, marital status and average monthly income; while Leisure Benefits depend on age, occupation and marital status. In Tourist Motives, options of “I’m willing to pay a lot to enjoy the best service” and “My family usually goes on vacation together” both receive higher scores. In Leisure Benefits, options of “being able to relax”, “providing local resources and cultures” both receive higher scores. After analyzing Leisure Benefits with factor analysis, we get three factor structures, “balanced life experiences”, “good quality of life” and “relaxation”. Through Pearson’s relevant analysis, we discover the correlation of Tourist’ Travel Motivation and Leisure Benefits for the tourists to West Lake Resortopia. Leisure Benefits are positively correlated with Tourists’ Satisfaction at the hotel area. The tourists who marked the options of “good quality of life” tend to have higher degree Tourists’ Satisfaction with the hotel area.

According to information, Chinese tourists have played an important role in tourism industry of Taiwan recent years, and the Taiwanese government develops tourism actively. It is known by the World Economic Forum (WEF)’s report that Taiwan should be committed to sustainable tourism development for advance of Taiwan tourism industry. However, there are few studies that explore Chinese tourists’ influences on tourism with perspectives of residents and few studies that explore the tourism sustainable attitudes of residents in Taiwan. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to understand the perceived tourism impacts of residents on the supportive attitudes toward tourism for Chinese tourists to visit Taiwan. The respondents are the residents living in the Sun Moon Lake National Scenic Area, situated in Nantou County’s Yuchih Township. Using social exchange theory (SET) as its theoretical basis, the data were analyzed using the structural equation modeling approach (SEM). And the paper selects relevant variables as the antecedents, including community attachment, economic dependence and sustainability attitudes, to examine their causal relationships with the perceived impacts of residents and the supportive attitudes toward tourism for Chinese tourists to visit the Sun Moon Lake area. A total of 350 questionnaires were issued and 307questionnaires were adopted as the effective samples. The results reveal that, concerned about Chinese tourists, community attachment has a negative effect on the perceived negative impacts. Economic dependence has a positive effect on the perceived positive impacts and has a negative effect on the perceived negative impacts. Sustainability attitudes have a negative effect on the perceived positive impacts. In addition, the perceived positive impacts have a positive effect on the supportive attitudes toward tourism and the perceived negative impacts have a negative effect on the supportive attitudes toward tourism.

In response to foreign visitors and nations travelling in Taiwan freely, Tourism Bureau, MOTC proposed the “Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Bus” since 2010. This improved quality and accessibility of public transportation in scenic spots. The target tourists of “Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Bus” should be determined because of the resource limitation. Accordingly, how to identify the factors impacting mode choice behavior of tourist becomes a critical issue. This study thus analyzes the mode choice behavior of tourism trips and examines the target tourists of “Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Bus” through an empirical case in Sun-Moon Lake for discussing the cost/benefit and developing marketing strategies. An independent samples t-test and chi-squared test were employed to explore the differences of socioeconomic characteristics, tourism trip attributes, tourist features as well as experiences in mode use based on questionnaires to tourists in Sun-Moon Lake. Moreover, a stated preference method was utilized to examine the impacts of scenarios such as tourism packages, tour guide and narration along with car-use restriction on mode choice behaviors of tourists. Logit model was used to explore the various preferences of tourists with different features. According to analytical results, this study suggests some strategies for promoting "Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Bus." Statistical results indicate that most non-Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Bus users are absent from sufficient "Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Bus" information. Furthermore, tourists possess fewer accompanists, particularly with close relationship but without children and luggage, focus on experiencing tour destinations, time conception and frugality, or habitually use non private vehicles, prefer choosing the public transportation. Based on the mentioned characteristics, this study suggests improvements of “Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Bus” to assist decision makers in developing strategies. Additionally, results of Logit estimations reveal that the proposed strategy scenarios significantly increase tourists’ willingness to use “Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Bus.” In order to determine the target consumers of “Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Bus,” four clusters identified via tourist features and related improvement strategies were developed. First, tourists preferring unusual experience but lacking of perseverance are clustered as “to put away the cup after taking a tiny sip.” Tourists in this cluster could be attracted through improving the connections between “Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Bus” and specific undeveloped scenes. Second, tourists having dependent mentality are clustered as “to swim with the stream.” Tourists in this cluster could be attracted through word of mouse about interesting, safe and reliable services. Moreover, tourists enjoying adventures are clustered as “to explore.” Tourists in this cluster could be attracted through constructing in-depth travel services in scenic areas. Finally, tourists willing to pay higher for better journey are clustered as “to live a life with pleasure.” Tourists in this cluster could be attracted through improving service qualities of “Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Bus” and cooperative tourism industries. Consequently, the proposed model has application in and can be integrated in other “Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Bus” routes to determine their target tourists and develop appropriate marketing strategies based on the spatial economic differences. This can assist authorities in prioritizing subsidies and help operators to improve efficiency, simultaneously.

Sun Moon Lake is a domestically and internationally well-known tourist spot; it is also one of the landmark-like scenic sites in Taiwan. However, in order to understand tourists’ satisfactory level on Sun Moon Lake after the 921 Earthquake, and as well as to investigate comments from the government, travel agencies and tourists relating to Sun Moon Lake’s tourism business’s establishment, this research was especially expected to further explore the planned future developmental direction and strategies for Sun Moon Lake’s tourism business. The research especially chose Sun Moon Lake’s tourists as the survey subjects, so as to really understand tourists’ satisfactory level after traveling to Sun Moon Lake and also to know tourists’ sightseeing needs. The official questionnaires were distributed between January 1st and March 31 in 2009. In total, 500 questionnaires were distributed, in which 481 were collected and 450 were effective, accounting to 96.2% re-collection rate and 90% effective rate respectively. Research methods used were Descriptive Statistical Analysis, Reliability Analysis, and Validity Analysis. In addition, the research also conducted 8 live interviews with persons from the government institution and also from travel agencies. And then, SWOT analysis and analysis on interview records were also conducted to further discuss current states of Sun Moon Lake, while the tourists’ satisfactory level survey results were also linked up for a more integrated analysis. The research results found that the natural landscape, the artificial scenery, and the rich biological resources were deemed as Sun Moon Lake’s advantageous position. And the not yet completed infrastructure, insufficient guiding persons, and high lodging prices were considered for the most part of Sun Moon Lake’s weakness. For its opportunities, the use of National Highway No.6 had already reduced tourists’ traffic difficulties and the planned construction of the high-altitude cable car will definitely bring in enormous amount of visitors. This will be a new opportunity for Sun Moon Lake to brace up its tourism business. Threats of Sun Moon Lake mainly came from the silt at the upstream reservoir, which seriously damaged Sun Moon Lake’s ecological landscape. If the problem is not solved constructively, Sun Moon Lake might be disappearing in a few years. Other factors, like the management of waste water, the ecological resources crisis, maintenance of the natural landscape and scenic sites facilities, etc… are all issues that require special attention. After integrated analysis and in-depth discussion, this research came to the following conclusions: (1) Market orientation: Should aim at “Mountain and Lake Vacation Experience” to develop Sun Moon Lake’s tourism business. (2) Targeted market segment: Should target at military men, public servants, teachers, and students. Others are considered as secondary market segment. (3) Pricing strategy: Should follow the rule of giving back to the society; therefore, “quick returns and small margins” will be the core pricing concept. (4) Production strategy: Could link up with artistic and cultural activities to provide consumers with opportunities to commune with art and cultural activities. (5) Strategy on distributing channels: The marketing channels should be focused on all levels of public held institutions, schools, travel agencies, and convenient stores. (6) Marketing strategy: Should mark out two day activities and use public praises and network marketing as the main marketing methods.

Even though people have running high of green attitude, it were not tourists choice factors. It can were seen that the tourists choice on green hotels, they were to care about the green facilities of green hotels, and the dealers have to the implementation of environmental protection facilities. Are there dealers really part of the implementation of environmental protection facilities will be affected one choice for tourists, and it’s not shout environmental slogans.

The tourist industry is one of the most rapid growing industries of all in the second half of the twentieth century. Although the amount of tourist studies has been grown significantly for the most recent two decades, studies on the commodification of the tourist space are relatively few. If there are some, they usually take a structuralism perspective, ignoring how the “tourist places” are produced and consumed in concrete contexts. This thesis attempts to investigate how “the image of place” is consumed commercially and how the “public-owned tourist space” is privatized in tourism activities. Britton (1991) differentiates the commodification of tourist space into two patterns. The first one is with regards to the privatized consumption of places, which guarantees the property rights. The second one is regarding to where the scenic attractions cannot be privatized directly. The commodification of tourist place will be related to how the tourist experiences or attributes of the scenic areas can be transformed into saleable commodities. Owing to the characteristics of the Sun-Moon Lake scenic area, the second pattern of tourist space conceptualized by Britton is adopted in this study. The major findings of the empirical research are as below: 1. The public sector usually plays a significant role in commodifying a tourist place. It takes leading to develop a scenic area by providing the major infrastructures and shaping the image of that scenic area. 2. The private sector takes the advantages of the infrastructure providing and place-image making by the public sector to create their own salable goods or consumable services. The place commodities can be divided into two categories based on their transportability. The first category is the commodity that can be consumed on site via a certain physical environments such as hotels and restaurants. Besides, the direct “gaze” by the tourists via yachts or staged performance is included in this category as well. The second one is the commodity, such as souvenirs, crafts and specialties, which is produced to enhance the place consumption. They are the so-called “tourist loots” that are mostly not produced locally and do not have local materials as constituents. However, they are labeled with the local features and images, which will carry the memory and experience of a tourist place for tourists. Moreover, the study also finds that there is a specific relationship between the degree of place commodification and the quality of the place. The more commercialized the space becomes, the more heterogeneous the place commodities will be.

The study aimed to propose and test a sport tourists’ satisfaction index model of “Sun Moon Lake International Cross-lake Swimming Carnival”, based on the theory of satisfaction indicator model. Quantitative research was done on September 12, 2010 through “the Questionnaire of Sport Tourists’ satisfaction indicator model of Sun Moon Lake International Cross-lake Swimming Carnival” as the instrument and 544 subjects were included. Descriptive Statistics, One-way ANOVA and Structural Equation Model (SEM) were conducted to confirm the satisfaction index model and to compare the difference in perception and participative features among different demographical backgrounds. An additional qualitative research was done on the same date by interviewing 9 subjects through purposive sampling to seek explanation of the model. The conclusions and suggestions were as followed: 1. Most of the subjects are male youths with high consuming capacity. First-time participats occupied a large proportion. Most of them were informed by the recommendation or invitation of friends, relatives or classmates. 2. The evaluations of the activity’s image, expectation, service quality, sentimental value, satisfaction and loyalty were good, indicating that the activity had met the tourists’ expectation and needs. 3. Males scored better in ‘perceived value’ than females, indicating that male tourists were satisfied with the service quality and further became loyal participators. 4. Except for GFI and AGFI indices were barely close to the standards of goodness of fit, the extracted variance of the latent variables in ‘activity’s image’ and ‘sport tourists’ expectation’ had good convergent validity, and the other dimensions had also reached goodness of fit. Therefore, the data could effectively support the model. 5. The Parameter Estimation paths in the SEM of Sun Moon Lake International Cross-lake Swimming Carnival have high significance and explanative strength, indicating that the ‘activity’s image’ had triggered high expectation. Also, when its service meets the expectation, ‘perceived value’ could positively affect ‘satisfaction’, and ‘loyalty’. 6. First-time participats have great expectations in the activity’s healthy image; however, negative feelings from China tourists and crowded streets contributed to the insignificant influence from ‘image’ and ‘expectation’ to ‘satisfaction’. Above all, companies or enterprises are suggested to be the target marketing; meanwhile, marketing planning and strategies should cover all aspect of satisfaction. The male participants’ passion in outdoor activities positively had led to their relatively high perceived value; therefore, more focus should go to female participants. Moreover, security measures, supportive service, souvenirs could be leveled up through inter-industry alliance and sponsorship to increase the benefit of the Sun Moon Lake area. Last but not least, sustainable attention should be paid to the education of China tourists and planning of emergency exit. Three suggestions are offered to the future researches: broader subjects could be included to modify the satisfaction index model, negative dimension of satisfaction could be added to increase the explanative strength of the model, and a vertical evaluation survey could be developed to examine the marketing and sale strategies of the carnival.

Abstract From a tourism sustainable development perspective, this study aimed to examine current urban land use planning, review sustainable planning theories, and apply a sustainable tourism development model to the management of tourist areas in Sun Moon Lake Specific Area. The study results indicated that adopting “Tourism Compound Development Mode” to foster tourism development lies in its flexibility of distributing usage and facility programs, and however, the situations including overpowered administrative discretion, social unfairness, and plutocratic tourism business should be prevented. Besides, from environmental preservation viewpoint, “Tourism Compound Development Mode” is not suitable for tourism development at natural site. With sophisticate detection of the market demand, The impressing needs to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of urban planning revision process is a key successful factor to meet the demand timely. Four suggestions of applying “Tourism Compound Development Mode” to the management of tourist areas in Sun Moon Lake Specific Area are described as follows: 1.Set up growth control quotas to define development permitted and restricted areas. 2.Establish service facility building control standard. 3.Empower tourism administrative agencies to define the permission of usage items. 4.Promote other coordinative mechanisms, such as development permit, development right, and real estate securitization. Keywords: sustainable development, tourism planning, land use planning, tourism compound development mode

The purpose of my dissertation is to bring cultural geographic theory, including the ideas of representation, power, cultural and religious identity, and the contested and negotiated nature of places and identities, into discussions about the broader field of religious tourism. I use Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah, the spiritual centre of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also known as the Mormon or Latter-day Saint Church), as a case study to discuss and contest three theories related to religious tourism and sacred space that are prevalent in the academic literature. These include the contested space theory, where I argue that discussions about contested space must be set in the historical context and conditions under which conflict or contestation is first developed, and the pilgrim-tourist dichotomy, the utility of which I question in light of management strategies Latter-day Saint Church leaders use to destabilise identities at Temple Square. I also critique the view that religious sites lack sufficient managerial expertise to be run effectively by religious site managers. In doing this I argue that scholars and tourism industry officials need to take religious culture and history more seriously when attempting to understand how leaders of various religious faiths view tourism and how those views influence the management of their sacred sites.

This study tries to model tourism demand and the volatility of tourists of Sun Moon Lake by comparing the difference to stochastic trend, seasonality, and volatility between 1999~2003 and 2004~2008. The variations risks in tourism demand predict between 1999~2003 and 2004~2008 with STSM. The long or short run risk persistence is illustrated by modeling the volatility tourism demand with GARCH model. Then the Value of Risk will be calculated according to the volatility from GARCH model. Finally, this study finds that if the administrator pursues a high risk development strategy, the public facilities should be sufficient at less for 100 thousand tourists each month. If the administrator pursues a low risk development strategy, the public facilities should be sufficient for 200 thousand tourists each month. Besides, it is more important for local firms to control operational cost. In February and September, the firms could charge more for increasing revenue. In other months, the firms could just accept the tourists which have made an appointment. Finally, a sustained risk management system needs to be established to keep discovering the risk. This will help to improve the sustainable tourism development planning of Sun Moon Lake.

Taiwan lifted the travel ban on Chinese tourists to visit Taiwan on July 18, 2008. From the increasing numbers of tourists from the mainland and the fact that China is ranked the number one choice in destinations for Taiwanese tourists travelling abroad, it can be easily seen that people from both sides of the strait consider each other’s country as one of their main choices for tour destinations. This study probed into the tourism experience of cross-strait tourists. Based on the abovementioned background and motive, this study aimed to examine the influence of tourist background and characteristics on their tourism motivations, tourism image, visitor satisfaction and destination loyalty in regard to the Sun Moon Lake National Scenic Area; a Structural Equation Model was applied to validate the correlations among these aspects, and then the key path influencing the destination loyalty of tourists towards national scenic areas was further investigated. In this study, the Sun Moon Lake National Scenic Area, where scenic spots are relatively concentrated and the tourist population is high, was used as the focus of the study to investigate the motivations of cross-strait tourists visiting the Sun Moon Lake National Scenic Area, their tourism perception of this area, and their level of satisfaction and loyalty after touring. The aim was to better understand any differences between tourists on both sides of the strait in regard to tourism demands in relation to national scenic areas; the results will serve as reference for tourism improvement and maintenance, and allow the cross-strait tourism industry to realize sustainable development. This study implemented a field survey of the cross-strait tourists at Sun Moon Lake National Scenic Area and adopted convenience sampling; a total of 340 valid questionnaires were retrieved. SEM analysis indicated that the questionnaire had good explanatory power and reliability, signifying the suitability of the questionnaire as a satisfaction survey for national scenic areas. This study revealed the key influential factors on destination loyalty of tourists from both sides, respectively. It showed that for Taiwanese tourists, destination loyalty is most effectively achieved through tourism image; while for Chinese tourists, destination loyalty is most effectively achieved through tourism satisfaction, demonstrating differences in the factors leading to destination loyalty between the tourists from both sides. The results can serve as reference for the management of national scenic areas to accurately comprehend the market demands of tourists and to increase the number of tourists. Furthermore, the preference levels of tourists with different backgrounds shows there are significant differences among Taiwanese tourists with different educational background regarding the assessment of tourism image, visitor satisfaction and destination loyalty.

Abstract Sun Moon Lake had abundant historical records long before it became a popular tourist spot. Through investigation of historical records about Sun Moon Lake, this study attempted to explore its original look and attractiveness and also discoursed why it could have been listed as one of the eight local greatest views in Chorography of Qing Dynasty. Japanese occupation is an important period of time where significant development of Sun Moon Lake took place. The colonial government’s decision to construct a hydraulic power plant at this area gradually increased the importance of Sun Moon Lake and tourist activities in this area. The polling activity it launched to find Taiwan Eight Views further activated tourism development in this area. In addition to beautiful landscapes, the culture of Thao Tribe is attractive to both Han and Japanese people. Therefore, this study examined the relationship between Thao Tribe and tourism development of Sun Moon Lake in two periods, namely the Japanese occupation period and the post-war period. This study discussed the difficulties in developing tourism of Thao Tribe to manifest the importance of Thao Tribe for promoting tourist activities in Sun Moon Lake. After retrocession of Taiwan, Sun Moon Lake experienced significant tourism development. With the increase of tourist spots nationwide after the war, Sun Moon Lake became a tourist area containing both natural and human attractions. Traffic accessibility which has been central to tourist development of Sun Moon Lake was also a focus of this research. This study finally investigated problems derived from and difficulties in promoting tourism development. Through the above-mentioned investigations, this study expected to highlight the association between culture, tourism, and its history of Sun Moon Lake and lead tourists to have more understanding of its beauty.

According to statistics data, local governments in Taiwan held more than 100 various tourism festivals every year. Among those tourism activities, governments have to rely on the participation of local communities and business to achieve the objectives. Therefore, Taiwan''s social conditions, leisure style and life style also changed a lot. Festivals demonstrate the effectiveness of local government to promote tourism policy. “Green Lake Dragon Boat Race Festival” has been held for almost fifty years in Shin-Dain. Because this local leisure activity was participated by government departments, non-profit organizations and local personages, it shows a hybrid governance model which combines non-profit organization and government. This essay discusses the impacts of Dragon Boat Race Festival on local cultural values, environmental quality and local competitiveness, and then make recommendations on the promotion of local tourism-benefit analysis. The study results show that politicians’ supports and local participation are important to its effectiveness of this hybrid governance model. It makes organization structure transform from "top down" model into “equal rank of complementary”. In cultural value aspect, the festival support local cultural organizations and hold activities with cultural elements create centripetal force of residents, and makes Shin Dain as a "Dragon Boat City". In the aspect of the local competitive, it optimizes local reputation, draws attention of government agencies to invest for local construction, and makes local prosperous and other positive benefits. But the Festival also brings some negative effects, such as traffic congestion, air pollution and messy environment. This essay suggests governments to: 1. establish a review mechanism to evaluate the benefit and cost of the Festival; 2. enable local people or organizations to host these kinds of activities. This essay also suggests non-profit organizations to: 1. promote planning and implementation capabilities of their people; 2. strengthen the capabilities of cooperation with government, and increase the consciousness of community within the residents.

Tree planting is one of the important elements in recreation area, Because of its wide spread over all the recreation the landscape of area, a close relation ship may existly between the vegetations and recreational activities of tourists. The experimental results are listed as follows : 1. Static activities of tourists often found in high stand densities area, on the contrary, low stand density area results in dynamic activties. 2. Types of tourist activities and the number of tourist are apparently affected by different stand densities and landscape under the same environments. 3. Variations of the number of tourists are much influenced by various speices and vegetations at all seasons but the tourist prefer the mixed forest all the year round. 4.In a dense forest, it seems that a manageable landscape may change the type of tourists activities i.e., static or dynamic behavior and attract the tourists attention. 5.Apparently, a near- sighted landscape which usually found in loose forest are not preferable by tourists. 6.Evidently the number of tourists will decrease in the most loose forest during hot summer. 7.The distance between each tour groups is not influenced by the density of tourists. Usually, the public distance between tour groups lies in far phase which is still in visual range of tourist. 8.Generally the forest recreation plan depends on the density of forest, and the construction related to tourist activities should meetthe requirements of different forest stand densities.

The investigation results demonstrated that the main pollution sources of Sun-Moon Lake included Wu-Jie raw water channel, surrounding business area near Shueishe waste water treatment plant, Hanbi peninsula, Shueishe Dock, and Yi-Da-Shao Dock. The effluents of business area affected the water quality of Sun-Moon Lake. Therefore, the CTSI index showed that the water quality was generally ‘Mesotrophic’. In this study, the concentrations of BOD and NH3-N were quoted from “The feasibility study report of ecological engineering for the Sun-Moon Lake ”which was executed by Environmental Protection Bureau of Nantou County (Nantou EPB), and the PO4 concentration was from the results of Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program (WASP). According to the results of WASP model, the assimilative capacities of BOD, NH3-N, and PO4 in the Sun-Moon Lake are 2,100, 950, and 90 kg/day, respectively. Additionally, the daily emission of BOD, NH3-N, and PO4 from point sources are 35.3 kg/day, 13.3 kg/day and 3.6 kg/day, respectively. Compared with the Nantou EPB’s point pollutation sources data, the emission of BOD and NH3-N into the Sun-Moon Lake in this study are 28.8 kg/day and 13.4 kg/day, respectively, which showed a slight increasing trend in BOD and almost stable in NH3-N. Results from the WASP showed that the daily emission of BOD and NH3-N from non-point sources were estimated to be 32 kg/day and 10.1 kg/day, respectively. The Nantou EPB’s non-point pollutant sources data showed that the daily emission of BOD and NH3-N into the Sun-Moon Lake were also 32 kg/day and 10.1 kg/day, respectively. Therefore, data obtained from the WASP simulation and the real data are of little difference in terms of BOD and NH3-N. The major pollution source of the Sun-Moon Lake was Wu-Jie channel. Besides, other pollution sources were mainly around the hotel area, including Hanbi peninsula, Shueishe area (Shueishe Dock and Shueishe waste water treatment plant), and Yi-Da-Shao Dock. These areas have accounted for about 60 % of pollution within the Sun-Moon Lake watershed. Pollution from point sources, i.e. business area, have accounted for about 60 % of pollution within these areas. Accordingly, it could be referred that the worsening of water quality in partial areas of Sun-Moon Lake was due to tourism and municipal waste water. As a result, water quality in these areas is worse than other areas. Before the sewer system of Sun-Moon Lake was built, the daily emission of BOD was 314.6 kg/day. According to the results of WASP the construction of model, the estimated assimilative capacity for the daily emission of BOD after the sewer system was 67.3 kg/day. Therefore, the amount of reduction in the emission of BOD after the sewer system being operated was 247.3 kg/day, with a reduction rate of 78.6 %. Our results suggested that the sewer system has improved the water quality in the Sun-Moon Lake.

The Mongolian steppes, nomads, horses, and gers (Mongolian style house) form the region’s icon attraction; thousands of tourists from various countries visit Mongolia just to see the untouched nature and rich nomadic culture. Properly using this central image in Mongolian marketing, the tourism industry of the country is rapidly growing. The increasing sophistication of customers’ demands in Khuvsgul province coupled with the increasing market competition has posed a new challenge to tourism bases located around the attraction sites. The purpose of this study was to measuring the impact of perceived value and service quality on tourist satisfaction through destination image in Khuvsgul Lake tourism sites. The research objectives this study examined are as follows: (1) To explore the causal relationship between service quality, perceived value and destination image; (2) To explore the causal relationship between service quality, perceived value, destination image and tourist satisfaction; (3) To investigate whether the destination image has a mediating role tourist satisfaction of Khuvsgul Lake, Mongolia. This study adopted Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS 20) to analyze the data collected from chosen camps. Descriptive analysis, factor analysis and regression analysis were used to validate the data and test hypotheses. The result of this research will benefit the management unit of tourist camps in Khuvsgul Lake by identifying the factors influencing tourist satisfaction, and help them to indicate the areas that they are doing well and general managerial problems. The most important finding of this study is that besides playing an important role in tourist satisfaction and intention to revisit, destination image also influences the impact of service quality and perceived value. Keywords: Service quality, perceived value, destination image and tourist satisfaction.
