Abstract:
Tourism consumption has been steadily increasing in China, as has its impact on society, the economy, and the environment; thus, it is necessary to promote socially responsible consumption among tourists. Our primary objective was to develop a scale to measure tourists' socially responsible consumption intention in China. We identified 5 dimensions that we labeled as safeguarding rights and interests, moderating consumption, promotion of local residents' income, respecting local cultures, and conserving resources. Our scale has the same basic principles as more general socially responsible consumption: maximizing the positive impacts of tourism on the environment, economy, and society, and minimizing the negative impacts. The scale was designed mainly for use at the tourism destination, which is an unfamiliar environment for the tourist. Implications of the findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Abstract:
Purpose – Socially responsible innovative behaviour should reduce the incidence of one-sidedness in the behaviour of persons employed or active in tourism organizations. People with disabilities are often poorly integrated, even in the advanced societies. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – With a requisitely holistic approach in dialectical systems theory and an overview of relevant literature, the common characteristics of tourists with disabilities are briefly described. A dialectical systemic analysis was used to determine whether people with disabilities want to travel and what their requirements are. A questionnaire was used to identify their recent travelling experiences; tourism organizations were interviewed about their experiences, too. A model of a travel agency, specialized for people with disabilities, is presented. Findings – The usual approach to people with special needs is too one-sided. A more requisitely holistic approach to understanding their needs in tourism, based on existing literature and an empirical analysis, is presented. A more innovative management of tourism organizations is proposed, increasing social responsibility (SR). Research limitations/implications – The authors contribute to the integration of people with disabilities in society, focusing on innovation in the management of tourism organizations. Practical implications – This new, more systemic and socially responsible innovative management in tourism is widely applicable. Tourists with disabilities, their family members, and their travelling companions could become more included in tourist activities and represent a potentially significant share of the market. A requisitely holistic approach can provide advantages for tourists with disabilities and tourism organizations. Originality/value – The concepts were not found in available literature neither is the selection of viewpoints of dialectical systems thinking and SR in tourism. They support understanding, designing and managing activities in tourism for people with various limitations or specific needs.

Abstract:
Purpose - This study aims to investigate the environmentally and socially-conscious behavior of Kazakhstani consumers in the sector of hospitality and tourism.Methodology - This empirical research is based on the quantitative research method and applies a survey data collection technique. The self-administered questionnaires were distributed among potential consumers relying on a convenience sampling technique. The attitudes of consumers towards responsible business practices of hospitality and tourism firms have been examined by the application of the Pearson Correlation Analysis.Originality / value - The study contributes to the theory building in the field of consumer behavior by responding to a contextual gap in the literature on environmentally and socially-conscious behavior of Kazakhstani consumers focusing on their attitudes towards sustainable business practices in hospitality and tourism and offers practical implications for domestic tourism and hospitality service providers.Findings - The findings show that consumers with higher levels of awareness about sustainable business practices and principles tend to pay higher prices for environmental and socially friendly hospitality and tourism offerings corresponding to sustainability standards and such kind of behavior does not depend on income or education level of individuals.

Abstract:
The current global world is recording and progressively developing tourism industry by the expansion of hotels and catering facilities. The development of tourism is inextricably linked with positive impacts such as growth of employment, increase in business activities, etc. On the other hand, the connection between tourism and global problems has been actively discussed in recent years. With the development of tourism occurs to the congestion of destinations, globalization brings degeneration of national cultures, grow gas emissions, soil erosion and increased waste production. The research revealed that Czech citizens consider the accumulation of waste as one of the global problems right after the lack of drinking water. One possibility of effective management of corporate waste is the implementation of waste management strategy in the management of the company. Businesses should aim to reduce, sort and recycle. The aim of the article was to compare the development of waste production in the European Union and the Czech Republic in connection with tourism and to evaluate the approach of Czech hotel companies to the issue of waste management. On the basis of the analysis, it can be stated that the amount of waste is gradually increasing and the hotels have some reserves.

Abstract:
Purpose – Providing a new approach to the destination management oriented on the social responsibility and keeping the interests of local community at the forefront of tourism development. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – Key concepts from systems theory, stakeholder management and social enterprises theories are rethought from the perspective of tourist destination. Main characteristics of the model of community-based organisational structure are identified as well as demands for socially responsible practices and a case study method is used for holistic and in-depth analysis on a real community-based tourism enterprise (CBTE). Findings – The paper proposed innovative socially responsible organisational business model aiming to serve the interests of local community. Interlinking the economic and social objectives in managing the tourist offer on destination level is the critical issue when cooperation of various stakeholders is concerned. Originality/value – The paper provides new insight on organising the tourism offer in the destination by using CBTE model. Findings might give impetus for new lines of research oriented on socially sustainable organisational models for responsible destinations. Recommendations suggested by the paper can be used in designing new destination management organisations oriented on developing community-based tourism practices in socially responsible manner.

Abstract:
Tourist loyalty is one of the most crucial aspects in determining the sustainable growth of a tourism destination. In attempting to find an aspect that boosts tourist loyalty for sustainable development of a tourism destination, the role of destination social responsibility (DSR) has begun to attract the attention of researchers and tourism stakeholders. This study empirically examines the structural relationship between DSR, destination image, and tourist loyalty using data collected from international tourists who have visited Hoi An in Vietnam through a self-administrated survey. Also, this study takes the cultural differences between Asians and Westerners into consideration regarding insights on tourism marketing. The results show that the socially responsible behavior of a tourism destination positively affects tourist loyalty by forming a positive image of the destination. And the results of the comparison between the Asian and the Western groups on the structural relationships of the perceived DSR, destination image, and tourist loyalty show that different cultures afford different degrees of importance to the components of DSR.

Abstract:
This thesis addresses a paradox: tourism was introduced in the towns of Elmina and Cape Coast (Ghana, Africa) more than 15 years ago, as a tool for economic development, poverty reduction and preservation of three World Heritage Sites - the Elmina or St Georges' Castle, Fort St Jago (Elmina), and the Cape Coast or Carolsburg Castle (Cape Coast). These sites were created by foreign conquerors during the 400 year transatlantic slave trade. However, benefits are distributed unequally and the sites are not properly preserved. This investigation attempts to understand the relationship between the local community, tourism intermediaries, and national and external state development institutions in order to identify approaches to tourism in the area, and any elements that might inhibit its development. Even though several studies (Sirakaya et al. 2002; Teye et al. 2002) have been carried out regarding the attitudes and perceptions of the residents towards tourism, none of them identifies the controlling interests in the projects and their relationships with various community constituents at the mainly grass-roots level. Furthermore, although there are recommendations for sustainable tourism, no study clearly defines those aspects of the sites which determine whether they can compete in the global market. Finally, the analysis is partly carried out by applying the theories of [Corporate (Social Responsibility)] [C (SR)]I in order to explain the phenomena of tourism development at the designated locales. So far no other research has been undertaken using these theories to explain the phenomena. This thesis contributes to knowledge in three ways: 1) a new clear cut definition of Capacity Building (CB) based on the employment of four notions of Capital: Social, Human, Physical and Financial; 2) a relation which clearly illustrates the interdependency between sustainability and poverty reduction (PR), which in turn depends on the exercise of [C (SR)] and CB; and 3) a new research method, approach namely Rapid Situation Analysis (RSA).

Abstract:
As Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and social enterprises become drivers of economic growth, the nexus provides opportunities for new models of business to bring benefits to communities in developing countries. Recognising the complex dynamics and range of actors in this diverse and emerging sector, this study chooses to document the external influences, use and impact of ICT on social enterprises. The problem investigated is the potential gap between the rhetoric of the 'promise of e-business' versus the dynamics of enactment and impacts of ICT in practice in the social enterprise sector. The methodology consists of a mixed-method data collection strategy to triangulate data sources from a diverse cross-section of organisations in the social enterprise sector in Cambodia. These include a cross-sectional survey, interviews, observations, document analysis and review of artefacts. It is unclear whether the Cambodian social enterprise sector represents a unique case or is representative of other countries. Regardless, the rich dynamics of the sector and the current lack of understanding of ICT use by this sector in developing countries per se warrant such a study. It fills a significant gap in the field of ICT and development by providing an in-depth overview of the social enterprise sector in one developing country, which may also be applicable in other developing country contexts. The research maps the e-business status of Cambodian social enterprises along a continuum from precursor activity to fully integrated e-services. It finds that Cambodian social enterprises believe ICT adds value to their operation; however access to affordable and reliable local ICT resources is an important factor determining long-term uptake. It also shows that external support is seen as vital to the success of ICT uptake by social enterprises in Cambodia. Donors have the most significant influence on social enterprises' framing of ICT, whilst NGOs, associations and the private sector are also important institutional players in shaping understanding and uptake of ICT. The main contribution of the research is to identify the real development impact of ICT use by social enterprises by measuring the role of ICTs in achieving their goals. Its major finding is that social and business missions are inextricably linked within these organisations, so to measure one in isolation of the other denies the new paradigm that social enterprises present. The most active sub-sector explored that best reflects this unique value proposition is the emerging social outsourcing potential of the IT services sub-sector. The handicraft and processing sub-sectors have yet to fully engage and use ICT to their maximum benefit. The outlook for these sub-sectors is likely to require further support to best harness the potential that ICT can bring developing countries.

Abstract:
Over time the tourism industry has been expanding at an exponential rate to the point that around 1 billion people will have travelled during the year of 2012 (UNWTO, 2012b). This massive amount of people has allowed for the degradation and destruction of multiple touristic destinations around the world. The great numbers of tourist have also negatively impacted the social and economic aspects of the touristic destinations. The current destructive path of the tourism industry has prompted the development of more sustainable and responsible types of tourism. One of the key players in the tourism industry that could address the topics of sustainable and responsible tourism is the tour operator. A path that tour operators can follow to address this destructive path of tourism is through corporate responsibility. Most of the other industries are in more advanced stages of approaching corporate responsibility while the tourism industry is still within the good practice phase of corporate responsibility. This aim of this study is to analyse what a group of tour operators are reporting concerning corporate responsibility. The questions focus on the different aspects the tour operators are communicating concerning their corporate responsibility and does this corporate responsibility communication add value to the consumer. The study shows that the tour operators are not exactly communicating their responsibility similar across the board, which shows the communication fragmentation among the tour operators. Most the tour operators mention corporate responsibility through the lens of sustainable or responsible tourism. Through this that the tour operators discuss their sustainable tourism or responsible tourism could possibly lead to adding consumer value to thetourists.

Abstract:
Utilising a critical theoretical perspective, this work examines contemporary corporatised tourism and capitalist globalisation. This analysis suggests that marketisation limits the understanding of the purposes of tourism to its commercial and “industrial” features, thereby marginalising wider understandings of the social importance of tourism. Sklair’s conceptualisation of capitalist globalisation and its dynamics, as expressed in his “sociology of the global system” (2002), is employed to understand the corporatised tourism phenomenon. This thesis explains how a corporatised tourism sector has been created by transnational tourism and travel corporations, professionals in the travel and tourism sector, transnational practices such as the liberalisation being imposed through the General Agreement on Trade in Services negotiations and the culture-ideology of consumerism that tourists have adopted. This thesis argues that this reaps profits for industry and exclusive holidays for privileged tourists, but generates social and ecological costs which inspire vigorous challenge and resistance. This challenge is most clearly evident in the alternative tourism movement which seeks to provide the equity and environmental sustainability undermined by the dynamics of corporatised tourism. Alternative tourism niches with a capacity to foster an “eco-humanism” are examined by focusing on ecotourism, sustainable tourism, pro-poor tourism, fair trade in tourism, community-based tourism, peace through tourism, volunteer tourism and justice tourism. While each of these demonstrates certain transformative capacities, some prove to be mild reformist efforts and others promise more significant transformative capacity. In particular, the niches of volunteer tourism and justice tourism demonstrate capacities to mount a vigorous challenge to both corporatised tourism and capitalist globalisation. Since the formation of the Global Tourism Interventions Forum (GTIF) at the World Social Forum gathering in Mumbai in 2004, justice tourism has an agenda focused on overturning corporatised tourism and capitalist globalisation, and inaugurating a new alternative globalisation which is both “pro-people” and sustainable. Following the development of these original, macro-level conceptualisations of tourism and globalisation, this thesis presents a micro-level case study of an Indigenous Australian tourism enterprise which illustrates some of these dynamics in a local context. Camp Coorong Race Relations and Cultural Education Centre established and run by the Ngarrindjeri Aboriginal community of South Australia has utilised tourism to foster greater equity and sustainability by working towards reconciliation through tourism. The Ngarrindjeri have also experienced conflicts generated from the pressures of inappropriate tourism development which has necessitated an additional strategy of asserting their Indigenous rights in order to secure Ngarrindjeri lifeways. The case study analysis suggests that for alternative tourism to create the transformations that contemporary circumstances require, significant political change may be necessary. This includes fulfilment of economic, social and cultural rights to which a majority of nations have committed but have to date failed to implement. While this is a challenge for nation-states and is beyond the capacities of tourism alone, tourism nonetheless can be geared toward greater equity and sustainability if the perspective that corporatised tourism is the only option is resisted. This thesis demonstrates that another tourism is possible; one that is geared to public welfare, human fulfilment, solidarity and ecological living.

Abstract:
The aim of this PhD research project was to critically examine the self-reported socially-responsible activities of European full-service and low-fares airlines. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a concept that has been described using many terms and with varying definitions. Broadly, it is the recognition that businesses should voluntarily mitigate and manage their externalities. CSR has been touted by businesses and governments alike as a preferred alternative to regulation. This research looked at the self-reported CSR approaches of the European airline sector, which has historically been heavily regulated and is currently facing increasing pressures regarding its impacts on CSR- and sustainability-related concerns. Low cost carriers have been under particular scrutiny for their impacts, and therefore, this research compared the CSR approaches of the two dominant airline business models in Europe: low cost and full service models. The sample consisted of 21 full service and 13 low cost carriers with headquarters in Europe. Mixed qualitative methods were applied to 566 secondary documents (websites, press releases, annual reports, and standalone CSR reports) and 15 elite interviews with airline managers. A range of established CSR indicators were assessed, including: definitions, reported practices, motivations and justifications for CSR activities, and CSR management and monitoring. Much of what the airlines reported as their CSR was at odds with academic and governmental definitions; as a whole, they placed considerable emphasis on environmental issues and adhering to regulations. This study also found that the CSR practices were closely correlated with business practices and key sector issues – an understanding of CSR that is most compatible with stakeholder theory-based conceptualisations. Business models on their own were found to be an overly-simplistic explanation for the wide variances of practice that were found in the sample. Instead, four ‘profiles of responsibility’ were identified, which better captured the differences in practices.

Along with the impact of social and environmental sustainability in Global Tourism Development, more attention to corporate social responsibility and tourism ethics has been increasing. The purpose of this study was to investigate relationships among cognition of corporate social responsibility, tourism ethics decision intention and responsible tourism product planning by travel agency. Cognition of corporate social responsibility by factor analysis have four dimensions of company financial responsibility, social ethical responsibility, sustainable social responsibility, social norms responsibility. Tourism ethics decision intention by factor analysis have four dimensions of personal moral obligation, environmental justice attitude, priority interests of the company, sustainable capacity. Responsible tourism product planning by factor analysis have three dimensions of local economic benefits, local social benefits, local environmental benefits. The questionnaires were sent to 600 travel agency supervisors and 400 questionnaires were effective, which represented a return rate of 66.67%. The results found the following: 1. Moderate cognition of corporate social responsibility, tourism ethics decision intention and responsible tourism product planning by travel agency supervisor exist. 2. The difference of corporate social responsibility, tourism ethics decision and responsible tourism product planning was not significant in marital status, the time of company established, cognition. 3、Most significant differences of cognition of corporate social responsibility, tourism ethics decision intention and responsible tourism product planning have been found in the background variables such as gender, age. 4、More cognition of corporate social responsibility, tourism ethics decision intention and responsible tourism product planning can be found from Integrated office executives compared with a species of travel industry executives cognition. 5、Medium travel agency (12-99 people) higher than small travel agency (less to 11 people) in personal moral obligation. 6、The managers of the Department of integrated management than those of the department of direct sales have a higher involvement in tourism product planning. 7、Cognition of corporate social responsibility ,tourism ethics decision intention and responsible tourism product planning has a positive correlation . 8、Through the mediation of tourism ethics decision intention, the effect of cognition of Corporate Social Responsibility, responsible tourism product planning can be manifested ; in other words, to promote responsible tourism product planning, in addition to corporate social responsibility awareness the organization of tourism ethics decision intention consciousness is necessary.

Abstract:
O turismo na natureza pode ser utilizado como uma ferramenta ao serviço da educação, potenciada através de centros de atividades que permitam aos jovens a possibilidade de conhecer outros lugares em contacto direto com os recursos naturais das áreas protegidas. Simultaneamente, importa compreender a pertinência das atividades educativas de exploração na natureza como potenciadoras da procura de formas de turismo na natureza responsável. A longo prazo, a aquisição de competências de âmbito pessoal e social nas atividades em meio natural pode conduzir a alterações na forma como crianças e jovens lidam com os problemas, como interagem, cooperam e comunicam. Paralelamente, é possível estimular nos jovens a valorização do meio ambiente e a sua conservação, promovendo para o futuro práticas turísticas mais responsáveis. O presente estudo tem como base uma investigação empírica consubstanciada através da inquirição de jovens que usufruem de atividades de exploração na natureza do centro de atividades Pedra Amarela Campo Base, situado no Parque Natural de Sintra-Cascais. Pretende-se analisar as suas perspetivas enquanto visitantes numa área protegida e participantes em atividades educativas de exploração na natureza, e verificar a existência de sensibilização para a procura de áreas protegidas como espaços privilegiados de lazer no âmbito do turismo na natureza responsável.
Nature tourism can be used as a tool in the service of education fostered by activity centers in order to provide children the chance to discover other places in direct contact with protected areas’ natural resources. At the same time, it is important to understand the relevance of educational exploration activities in nature as they can potentiate the demand for responsible nature tourism. In the long run, acquiring personal and social skills in activities in the natural environment can lead to changes in the way children deal with problems, how they interact, cooperate and communicate. Also, it is possible to stimulate young people's appreciation of the environment and its preservation for the future by promoting more responsible tourism practices. This study is based in an empirical investigation through inquiring children who attend Pedra Amarela Campo Base’s nature exploration activities, which is situated in the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. It intends to analyze their outlook while visitors to a protected area and participants in educational exploration activities in nature. It also intends to verify the existence of awareness about protected areas as privileged settings for leisure within responsible nature tourism.

Abstract:
At the present time, the tourist destination offers a stimulating laboratory for the experimentation of theoretical models and good practices on the subjects of governance, knowledge management and sustainable competition. Growing interest in the study of this territorial context gains impetus from the new approaches and tools that local administrations are starting to introduce in the phases of implementation and control of local strategies. In this respect, the Tourist Destination Observatory (OTD) represents an important innovation, offering a nerve centre for the aggregation and networking of heterogeneous data scattered over the territory as well as a model for the implementation of permanent approaches to social dialogue as prerequisites for the creation of knowledge and for an aware, shared, competitive and responsible development of the destination. The OTD can act as an efficient agent of local change, facilitating the processes of governance, and as a tool of knowledge management for the valorisation of intellectual capital. It is consequently a crucial support for the strategic repositioning of mountain resorts, which can represent valid responses to the emerging new modes of interpreting the holiday.

Abstract:
The municipality of Marituba, Metropolitan Region of Belém - RMB, has suffered environmental impacts due to irregularities in the landfill operation implemented in 2015, which triggered social impacts perceived by all the population, including neighboring municipalities, such as Ananindeua and Belém Protests were carried out by the Movement Outside the Garbage that is constituted by the dwellings of the surrounding neighborhoods to the place where the embankment is located, of owners of commercial activities linked to the tourism and Non Governmental Organizations that interrupted several times the transit of the main route that interconnects the seven municipalities of the RMB and the entrance of the embankment, in order to draw the attention of the municipal public power to the problems that the population would have been facing ever since. From this, the following questions arose: What social impacts would people be making in these protests? Would such problems be directly related to the activities carried out in the landfill? And finally, what are the actions of the public authority and the company that manages the enterprise in the management of these social impacts? The relevance of this study concerns not only the identification of social impacts considering the fragility of this approach in the Environmental Impact Studies and concomitantly in the Reports of Environmental Impacts, but also, from the point of view of the debate about the licensing process of enterprises of this nature and employment and the need for the joint use of environmental and urban policy instruments, considering that RMB municipalities have not yet used sustainable alternatives for the reduction of solid waste produced in their territories, as well as the reduction of environmental impacts caused by dumps , and in the case of Marituba, of the landfill that operates outside the standards established by the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards - ABNT, which is responsible for the management and treatment of solid waste and the National Policy on Solid Waste - PNRSN.

Abstract:
AbstractImage-based social media such as Instagram is actively used as a tourism marketing channel that provides information regarding tourist destinations. Recognizing the importance of viewers’ responses, this study investigated the relationship between viewers’ responsive behavior and the characteristics of texts and images posted on Instagram. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that certain emotional expressions in hashtags and images that include people are positively associated with the number of likes and comments. This study provides insights into social media utilization strategies and post-marketing strategies that are helpful for DMO (Destination Marketing Organization).

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter proposes the 'infinite visit': a new multidimensional, multi-theoretical framework for visitor management that is responsive to the influence of social media, inclusive of non-visitors and able to respond to real-time changes. The infinite visit represents a foundational shift in the role of the visitor and theoretical and practical applications of visitor management frameworks. An infinite visit framework proposes that visitors become partners in mission with management agencies. In so doing, they become co-creators of conservation outcomes. This aligns with emerging data that support visitors prioritizing conservation over entertainment. A multi-theoretical approach can better facilitate contextually appropriate visitor management interventions within a unified strategic conservation plan.

Abstract:
The aim of this work is to study social responsible behavior in three, four and five star hotels found in Galicia and the Northern region of Portugal. To be able to carry out this investigation two types of analysis are carried out. First of all there is a descriptive statistical analysis about the group of variables contained in the used scale. Secondly a factor analysis is applied in which the factors that make up social responsibility in line with the triple dimension identified by Elkington (1997) are identified. The development of this methodology has made it possible to compare practices of social responsibility carried out by the hotels under study in two different countries, Spain and Portugal. From this investigation it can be concluded that the initial hypothesis is confirmed, corporations behave differently when it comes to social responsibility depending on the country they are in.

Abstract:
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tourism is a widely discussed topic nowadays. However, this article does not address the global impact of the pandemic. The focus is on government’s decisions, which to some extent may be the cause of the impact on tourism. The government is responsible for setting specific measures to prevent the spread of the disease and is also responsible for implementing tools in order to eliminate the effects of the crisis and stimulate an economic and social activity. The aim of this article is to present an evaluation of government’s measures from the perspective of tourism entrepreneurs. The research focuses on the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Czech Republic, which hit the country in the spring of 2020. The respondents of the research were entrepreneurs in the catering and accommodation sector with their premises in Mikulov. Data were collected using electronic questionnaires. Their return rate was 27%. To complement the qualitative data of the research, an interview was conducted with a destination coordinator. The findings reveal that overall, entrepreneurs rated government’s measures as negative in the context of their business. Their economic result fell by more than 75% and they also recorded a significant loss of clientele. Entrepreneurs were very critical of the overall actions of the government, which according to them, created confusion. On the contrary, they assessed the government’s support positively.

Abstract:
The concept of sustainability began to dominate tourism debates after the United Nations Conference on the Environment and Development, the Earth Summit in Rio de Janerio in 1992. Ecotourism is the fastest growing sector, with an estimated growth rate of 25 to 30 percent, of one of the largest industries in the world. The motto of Action Program for Sustainable Development was that “Only whatever can be sustained by nature and society in the long term permissible.” The World Conservation Union expanded this definition as follows: “Ecotourism is environmentally responsible travel and visitation to relatively undisturbed natural areas, in order to enjoy and appreciate nature that promotes conservation, has low negative visitor impact, and provides for beneficially active socio-economic involvement of local populations.” There are two major problems with respect to ecotourism: achieving ecologic integrity of the ecotourism resource and, increasing and ensuring consistency of quality of the recreation experience for the ecotourist. Economic, environmental and social impacts involved in ecotourism should be balanced within ethical principles. The first official reference to the concept of ecotourism in Turkey was made in the Eighth Five-Year Development Plan (2001-2005). The aim of this study is to explore social impacts of ecotourism in Turkey. Some projects and surveys related with ecotourism will be considered in order to get better understanding of social impacts of ecotourism on the lives of local people in Turkey.

Abstract:
It has to be the vision of an international oil and gas exploration and production company to explore for and produce oil and gas in the most economically efficient, social responsible and environmentally acceptable way. Based on this aim and due to the fact that Austria is a country with a environmental awareness and a high tourism level, OMV as the leading domestic oil and gas company had to elaborate strategies for the benefit of the company, its employees and shareholders, but also for the benefit of local communities maintaining the image of a healthy, clean and relaxing environment. The paper describes the different ways of implementing environmentally relevant technique and strategies beginning with exploration process and ending with the monitoring of oilfield wastes. Case histories demonstrate the concept of converting onshore drilling projects into action in environmentally sensitive regions using the idea of “ecological compensation”. Further a new technology of water treatment based on “microbiological clarification” is shown. With the new water treatment technology a valuable contribution to the protection of environment could be shared by OMV, because this method works without any application of biocides. Finally, innovative methods of calculating the risk potential of oilfield deposits using micro-geophysical surveys are illustrated. This measuring practice takes care of the electric resistivity contrast between oilfield deposits to its surrounding, so that any leakage can be observed immediately due to the change of electric resistivity profile. Generally the paper has the goal to illustrate acceptable ways to meet the environmental sensitivities of communities and authorities.
