Li, Mohan. "Tourist photography and the tourist gaze : an empirical study of Chinese tourists in the UK". Thesis, University of Central Lancashire, 2015. http://clok.uclan.ac.uk/12879/.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This study seeks to deepen knowledge and understanding of the tourist gaze and tourist photography. The original concept of the ‘tourist gaze as proposed by John Urry is inherently Western-centric and, as a consequence, it is arguably of limited value as a conceptual framework for appraising the tastes, gazes and, more generally, the visual practices of the increasing number of non-Western tourists’. At the same, despite the fact that, in recent years, smart phone cameras have become widely used by people both in their everyday lives in general and in their travels in particular, few attempts have been made to explore and analyse the potential transformations brought to the landscape of the tourist photography by the increasing use of smart phone cameras. The purpose of this thesis, therefore, is to re-conceptualise and study empirically the tourist gaze and tourist photographic behaviour, as influenced by a variety of social, cultural and technological factors, amongst non-Western tourists. More specifically, it aims to explore the visual preferences of Chinese tourists in the UK, to consider critically what and how they take photographs of, and to evaluate the extent to which their gazes, their performance of gazing and their photographic practices are shaped by social, cultural and technological factors. In order to meet this aim, the qualitative research method of visual autoethnography is employed during two field studies with Chinese tourists in the UK. More precisely, a first field study was based on a seven-day package tour undertaken with eighteen Chinese tourists, visiting a total of thirteen destinations around British destinations. The second field study, in contrast, involved the researcher undertaking a five-day holiday with six Chinese tourists to the Isle of Wight off the south coast of England. During these two field studies, the researcher adopted the role of ‘researcher-as-tourist’, engaging in travel with the respondents, staying in the same accommodation, joining in with their activities and taking photographs with them. These first-hand travel and photographic experiences conspired to become an integral part of the resultant data resources which were not only analysed but also shared with the respondents during interviews with them. From the data collected during the two field studies and, indeed, the autoethnographic experiences of the researcher, it became clearly evident that smart phone cameras had become the principal means of taking photographs amongst Chinese tourists. Moreover, smart phone cameras have also altered the landscape of tourist photography, primarily by de-exoticising this practice and further enhancing its ‘playfulness’ and increasing its social functions. During the field studies, the Chinese tourist respondents engaged in a variety of visual and photographic activities, purposefully including but by no means being confined to an interactive game of photo-taking and photo-sharing, imagining authenticity, sensing the passing of time from gazing on natural spectacles, and deliberately observing what they considered to be ‘advanced’ aspects of the toured destination. Based upon these identified performances and practices, this thesis proposes the concept and framework of the Chinese tourist gaze. That framework essentially establishes what Chinese tourists prefer to see during their travels and seeks to explain why and how they see certain specific spectacles or tourist objects. At the same time, it theoretically re-situates both their gazes and their ways of gazing within a network of influential social, cultural and technological factors, including: the travel patterns of the élite in pre-modern China; the cultural characteristics of Chinese people; the intertwining of contemporary communication and photography technologies; and, the fusion of the Chinese nation-state, its economic policies policies and the resultant social and environmental problems that have emerged over the last three decades. Moreover, the framework points to potential future transformations in the Chinese tourist gaze, such as the de-exoticisation of that tourist gaze. The principal contribution of this thesis to extant knowledge is the concept and framework of the Chinese tourist gaze, as this may provide future researchers with the foundation for continuing to study and more profoundly understand the tastes, gazes, practices of gazing and other visual activities, including photography, of Chinese tourists. Indeed, given the inherent Western-centric bias in the relevant literature, an appropriate theoretical framework enabling them to do has, arguably, not previously existed. In addition, the dimensions and characteristics of tourist smart-phone-photography revealed in this research are of much significance, contributing to a deeper, richer understanding of transformations in the practice of tourist photography and, in particular, of why and how contemporary Chinese tourists take photographs. Furthermore, through identifying and exploring how the Chinese respondents in this study shared their photographs, greater knowledge and understanding has emerged of Chinese tourists’ technological travel communication and connections as well as their attitudes towards and use of the multiplicity of social networking sites and mobile-apps.

Travlou, Spyridoula Penny. "Urban tourism in Athens : tourist myths and images". Thesis, Durham University, 2000. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/4521/.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis explores and analyses the mythical quality of modem Athens as experienced by tourists. It is an exploration of the tourist gaze upon the Athenian landscape, as well as an account of how tourists narrate its urban mythology. This research is largely concerned with the relationship of time and space through memory, exploring the interplay between the spatial arrangement of urban elements, temporality and the experience of the city. Athens is viewed as a city marked by a temporal collage where different historical periods are juxtaposed. This juxtaposition gives Athens the character of a deconstructed city. The city is made present through spatialised remainders, her genius loci. This thesis thus analyses the relationship between Athens past and the present, the strangely familiar and the stereotypically exotic, as interwoven within an urban landscape imagined, gazed and finally, narrated by foreign tourists. The core argument of this work is that the Athenian landscape embodies an urban mythology constructed by the nineteenth century romantic travellers: these, through their writings, fashioned the stereotypical imagery of Athens. Modem tourists are the consumers of these myths. Like their nineteenth century predecessors, tourists stroll around the city following the traces of their memory - key landmarks and symbols, recognising what they have already known; feeling nostalgic for the past -their past, fragmenting the landscape into different historic layers, depopulating it from its present inhabitants, orientalising it. In this work I explore the transmission and reinvention of the myths of Athens through guidebooks, travel brochures, guided tours and tourist photographs. The exploration of the different images of Athens as visualised by tourists leads to a discussion of gendered, orientalised, literary, photographic and cartographic aspects of the Athenian urban landscape. The theoretical framework of the thesis is based on post-modernism, post-structuralism and semiotics. My research methods have been qualitative, including both in-depth interviews and participant observation, following tourists around the city and participating in their activities. I also analysed the ways tourists 'gaze' and photograph the city. My intention is to draw -metaphorically speaking- a mental map including the sites visited, consumed and experienced by tourists.

Curtin, Susanna C. "Wildlife tourism : tourist expectations, experiences and management implications". Thesis, Bournemouth University, 2008. http://eprints.bournemouth.ac.uk/10303/.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The literature demonstrates that wildlife tourism, which can incorporate anything from insects (dragonflies, butterflies, glow-worms), flowers, mammals and birds, has become a potentially lucrative activity which is attracting attention from tourists and destinations. There are both positive and negative impacts associated with wildlife tourism. It can contribute to the conservation of threatened habitats / species, provide economic benefit to local communities attract new types of tourists to remote and economically peripheral areas, and provide environmental education and psychological benefits to tourists. Less desired outcomes of wildlife tourism imply that as places and their wildlife become more popular, tourist numbers and infrastructure increases and so too do incidences of disturbance which directly impact upon the well-being and sustainability of the focal wildlife populations such as the disruption of daily behaviour including feeding, breeding, and resting. Whether the positives outweigh the benefits has yet to be tried or tested and may well depend upon how the resource and visitors are managed which in turn depends upon understanding the expectations, the behaviour and the experiential benefits sought by tourists. Given the spectrum of tourist-wildlife opportunities, it follows that wildlife tourists are by no means an homogenous market, there are significant variations in typologies, from the 'serious' to the 'casual' and from the 'specialist' to the 'generalist'. Therefore planning and management become more difficult as the behaviour and needs of each segment differ enormously. Up until now, the human dimensions of watching wildlife have been rather overlooked in the tourism literature; and particularly the experiential and psychological benefits of wildlife tourism have not been adequately explored or applied to the management and marketing of destinations. Using a sample of British tourists, the aim of this research was, therefore, to explore the culture of wildlife tourism in order to contribute a better understanding of what it means to enjoy wildlife experiences, the content of what exactly is enjoyed, the process through which people attend to and perceive wildlife and the emotional responses it provokes. Inherent in this thesis is the discussion of the human dimensions of wildlife, namely how wildlife tourists perceive the natural world, whether they have eco, anthropocentric or anthropomorphic views of the animal kingdom, and whether the application of biophilia, our supposed inherent desire to connect with other, non-human, living things, can be applied to wildlife tourism. In addition the author explored the field skills involved in wildlife watching with regards to identification and photography, what constitutes a memorable experience, and finally the expectations and benefits of travelling on an organised wildlife holiday. In order to satisfy this aim, an ethnographic approach to data generation was employed in two distinct stages. First in-depth interviews were carried out with British tour operators to investigate the business of wildlife tour operating, to discover who the main operators are, the types of products that they offer, the profile of the clients that they attract as well as the management and delivery of their tours. This showed that the wildlife tourism market can be divided into different typologies, for example, birders, `listers' and general naturalists. Secondly, the author joined two tour groups within the general naturalist market, one birdwatching tour to Andalucia to watch the Autumn migration and one whale and bird-watching tour on the Sea of Cortez, Baja California. Whilst on tour, field journals were kept to record the days' events, participants emotional responses to wildlife, and her own observations of tour leading. These journals were coupled with in-depth interviews of tour participants whilst on tour and later in-depth interviews with people who regularly take dedicated wildlife holidays. This ethnographic study of these dedicated general naturalists reveals a number of important themes which may be of use for future studies such as: how interest in wildlife began, how wildlife watching is part of everyday life not just a holiday activity, the fascination with how wildlife adapts to human / urban environments and the relationship with regular wildlife visitors in their garden. In addition it highlights how wildlife tourism is used as a symbol of self presentation, how it is important to develop skills such as identification of species and photography, and how spontaneity, close proximity to wildlife, high numbers and first sightings all make for memorable experiences. There are a number of profound and psychological benefits which the nature of this study allowed to come to the fore, and that was the wonderment and sense of awe at the beauty and diversity of the natural world, of really feeling alive and in 'flow' when watching wildlife and how being in 'flow' distorts time. Linked to this is the spiritual fulfilment and sustenance provided by nature. The physical attributes of the wildlife holiday highlight the important role of the tour leader, their knowledge of species and of where to see them as well as the demonstration of responsible wildlife watching behaviour. Participants voiced their desire for relaxation, for meeting like-minded people and for sharing experiences with others. Finally participants appeared to be aware of potential negative impacts and liked to see responsible tour operating. The thesis ends by discussing the practical implications of these findings for industry and for wider society, and concludes by suggesting areas for future research. "An honest experience of nature would find that the natural world is an arena of endurance, tragedy and sacrifice as much as joy and uplift. It is about the struggle against the weather, the perils of migration, the ceaseless vigilance against predators, the loss of whole families and the brevity of existence. The natural world is like a theatre, a stage beyond our own, in which the dramas that are an irreducible part of being alive are played out without hatred or envy or hypocrisy. No wonder they tell us so much about ourselves and our own frailties" (Mabey 2006: 13). "

On pourrait dire que le projet de cette thèse consiste à comprendre l’articulation dans l’espace, du tourisme et de la communication dans des situations qui mettent en tension un sujet individuel, dévoilant toute la singularité de son désir dans des récits ou des pratiques et des acteurs collectifs engagés dans les politiques touristiques, les médias et les institutions du tourisme.Notre réflexion s’organise ainsi en suivant les modalités de l’articulation entre ces dimensions réelle, symbolique et imaginaire du tourisme. Dans le champ des SIC et particulièrement grâce à des modèles permettant de formaliser la médiation touristique, notre approche conceptuelle permet d’appréhender les significations du tourisme. Nous modéliserons les composantes, les liens et interrelations de la médiation touristique pour proposer une approche théorique de ce que l’on peut appeler la signification touristique de l’espace.En premier lieu, nous abordons les définitions, un état de la recherche en tourisme et le lexique du tourisme par l’étymologie et l’analyse lexicale des termes les plus fréquents : « tour », « tourisme », « touriste », « loisir », « villégiature », « vacances » et « voyage ».En second lieu, nous proposons de poser les bases du champ de la médiation touristique et de montrer que la pratique sociale du tourisme est une médiation. Nous présenterons, commenterons et analyserons, en nous fondant sur un schéma de la médiation touristique, les différentes relations de communication en jeu dans la médiation touristique. Puis nous présenterons les structures de la médiation touristique pour fonder « une théorie critique » de la médiation touristique.Par la suite, nous approfondirons le concept en présentant les opérateurs, les acteurs et les politiques de l’organisation du tourisme, en nous fondant sur l’analyse d’exemples et d’études concernant principalement la médiation et les médiateurs dans le cas de la France pour comprendre comment pratiques et scènes de tourisme s’organisent. Par la suite, nous décrirons et analyserons le système d’information touristique en deux points. Le premier concerne l’énonciation de l’espace produit par le touriste, les touristes et les médiateurs du tourisme (énonciation de la parole du guide par exemple) au travers des récits pluri et multimédias. L’autre concerne la mise en œuvre des stratégies par les destinateurs (opérateurs et acteurs de l’organisation du tourisme privés et publics) au travers des médias du tourisme (généralistes, spécifiques du tourisme et guide touristiques). Un travail d’analyse de discours porte sur des exemples de documents textuels et/ou iconiques des guides touristiques et des labels touristiquesIt may be said that this thesis aims at understanding the spatial articulation between tourism and communication in such situations as those in which an individual subject – expressing the whole peculiarity of his or her desire through telling or practices – and collective actors are brought together.My reflection thus organises itself in accordance with the modalities of the articulation between the three dimensions of tourism: the practical dimension, the symbolic dimension and the imaginary dimension.Tourist activity consists in travelling and in visiting a site, a place or a destination; tourist mediation means the range of activities that are organised around tourism or those that are associated to it. Tourist mediation concerns the agents and the practices in the field of tourism. In this context, I wish to show that tourist mediation structures the perceptions, the interpretations and the practises of space.I address the definitions; give an overview of academic research on tourism and address the notions of tourism through the etymology of its main words (tour, tourism, and tourist) and through the differences that exist between tourism and other notions similar to it such as leisure, vacations, holiday and travelling. These notions are necessary to the comprehending of tourist mediation.I intend to lay the foundations of the field of tourist mediation and to demonstrate that the social practise of tourism is a form of mediation. I will present the tourist objects that structure the tourist practises of space. The structures of tourist mediation will then be laid; this will enable me to craft a “critical theory” of tourist mediation. With a view to understanding how the practises and the scenes of tourism organise, I will subsequently widen the concept by presenting the operators, the agents and the policies of the tourist organisation; the examples and the studies of the latter are mainly concerned with mediation and mediators in the case of France. I situate tourist mediation in relation to the experience of otherness and to the relationship to the others, to wanderlust, to the tourist imagination and to cultural imagination too. I then describe and give a two-point analysis of the tourist information system. The first point is concerned with the enunciation of space produced by the tourist, the tourists and by the tourist mediators (the enunciation of the guide’s discourse for instance) through various multimedia telling. The second point is concerned with the enunciation, through the tourist media (non-specialised or tourism media, tourist guides), by the speakers (e.g. operators and private or public agents of the tourist organisation) of the communication strategies and of the tourist descriptive signing. This discourse analysis relates to examples of textual and/or iconic documents

The aim of this paper is to examine the intersection of tourism and memoirs in the United States specifically how specific travel memoirs function as tourist attractions. This investigation employs performer-centered analysis as a method of inquiry in order to gain insight on tourist experience as well as concepts of travel, imagination and embodiment. The paper also employs MacCannell’s Semiotics of Attraction as a framework to illustrate the presence of the following categories: tourist, sight, and marker. The presence and the relationships established between these categories establish Into Thin Air and Almost Somewhere: Twenty-eight Days on the John Muir Trail can both be defined and function as tourist attractions.

In September 2008, the Lord Mayor of Perth announced her vision for Perth to be more ‘gayfriendly’. Her vision aroused some dissonance from the ultra conservatives. The aim of this thesis is to determine the attractiveness of Perth as a lesbian destination. The significance of this study is to understand local lesbian residents’ perceptions of Perth as a ‘lesbian-friendly’ destination, and to evaluate the motivation and satisfaction of lesbian-tourists to Perth. The methodology used included participation observation at the 2009 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade; a semi-structured focus group interview of 4 self-identified lesbian Perth residents, and a purposive sample, using snowball effect, of 112 self-identified lesbians for an on-line survey. The data was analysed using content and statistical analysis. The findings were interpreted using a social constructivist approach, within a male feminist framework.
The findings indicated that slightly over a quarter of lesbian Perth residents felt that Perth is ‘lesbian-friendly’ (27%). Whilst ‘culture and sights’ was the top motivator for a lesbian vacation (94%), ‘visiting friends and family’ was the top motivator for lesbian tourists visiting Perth (71%). Slightly over a tenth of lesbian tourists were satisfied with lesbian attractions in Perth (13%). Overall, only a small number of respondents found Perth to be their first-choice ‘lesbian-friendly’ destination (6%), with an overwhelming majority wanting to see more lesbian attractions (85%), and 5% agreeing that there are sufficient lesbian venues. These results strongly suggest that Perth is not ‘lesbian-friendly’, and lacks attractions and venues as an attractive lesbian tourist destination. Recommendations for further research arising from these findings include undertaking a comparison between Perth and other Australian cities in terms of lesbian tourism.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Cultural heritage tourism is still the growing segment of tourism industry. Moreover, many tourists prefer exploring something new, cultural heritage tourism (CHT) has become one of the major "new" segments of tourism demand. Therefore, it is true that cultural heritage tourism has been one of the major sources of both quantitative and qualitative growth of tourism industry in many countries.
In regard to the context of cultural heritage tourism industry, by identifying the relationship and impacts between tourist motivations, tourist satisfaction, and overall sense of tourist well-being, tourism marketers and administrators who are engaged in cultural heritage tourism can improve strategies for creating tourist's distinctive experiences, allowing tourists to become more physically and emotionally engaged in cultural heritage tourism destinations.
However, there is, if any, very limited work that explores the link between cultural heritage tourism experiences and overall sense of tourist well-being induced by these experiences. Therefore, this study examines what attributes on tourist motivation contribute to the overall sense of well-being of tourists who visit cultural heritage tourism destinations. Therefore, this study examines what attributes on tourist motivations contribute to the satisfaction and the overall sense of well-being of tourists who visit cultural heritage tourism sites.
An online survey using panel data from a marketing research company was used to collect 350 completed questionnaires. Tourist motivations (HONs and LONs), tourist satisfaction, and overall sense of tourist well-being were measured using different scales from previous researches discussed in the literature review.
This study conducted various analyses including a profile of 350 respondents based on descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis of tourist motivations, correlation analysis of all constructs, and path analysis for the conceptual study model to understand the relationships between tourist motivations and tourist satisfaction, tourist motivations and overall sense of tourist well-being, and tourist satisfaction and overall sense of tourist well-being and identify impacts of each construct on the study model.
This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge in understanding the link between cultural heritage tourism and overall sense of tourist well-being and identifying the perceived value and critical role of tourist motivations and tourist satisfaction connecting to overall sense of tourist well-being by establishing a theory based on empirical link between tourist motivations and overall sense of tourist well-being via tourist satisfaction in the context of cultural heritage tourism business.Master of Science

Thesis (MTech (Tourism and Hospitality Management))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2009.Tourism is regarded as the fastest growing industry in the world. Africa was identified at the World Investment Conference in Geneva (WAIPA, 2005) as one of the continents with a significant potential for developing tourism. Located in sub-Saharan Africa, Rwanda is a low income, landlocked and densely populated country in Africa. Tourism provides the best alternative for economic development to Rwanda which does not have mineral resources unlike most African countries. The development of tourism can contribute a lot to this country through reduction of the level of poverty, creation of job opportunities as well as contributing to the national income. However, the tourism industry in Rwanda is still in its early stages due to the 1994 war. Most of the parks re-opened in 1998/1999, and still concentrate on low volume of tourists. Until now Rwanda is not recognised among the known tourist destinations in Africa; it is believed to be a less developed place for tourists. This study presents barriers to tourism development in Rwanda as perceived by domestic and international tourists as well as workers in the tourism sector of Rwanda. The study was conducted in the four provinces of Rwanda and the capital city, Kigali. A quantitative design using two cross-sectional questionnaires was utilised to establish the opinions of the participants. A sample of 426 participants, including 68 international tourists, 182 domestic tourists as well as 176 workers in the tourism sector was selected to participate in the study.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Owing to the nature of tourism services, in most cases tourists experience a tourism service in the presence of service personnel and fellow tourists. Scholars and practitioners have been interrogating the role of co-creation in providing tourists with a superior experience and increased tourist satisfaction. Within a group package tour (GPT), tourists appear to be active co-creators of their experience through tourist-to-tour guide interactions (TGIs) and tourist-to-tourist interactions (TTIs). TGIs and TTIs also seemingly play an important role in determining tourist satisfaction through tourist experience. However, very little research has examined the influence of TGIs and TTIs on tourist experience and tourist satisfaction.
The overall purpose of this study is to examine the influence of TGIs and TTIs on tourist experience and tourist satisfaction in GPTs. To do this, this study aims to (1) identify specific forms of TGIs and TTIs in GPTs and explore factors influencing TGIs and TTIs, (2) investigate the importance and performance of forms of TGIs and TTIs, and (3) examine how TGIs and TTIs influence tourist experience and tourist satisfaction in GPTs. The characteristics of GPTs in Vietnam provided an ideal research context for addressing these research objectives. A sequential mixed-method approach consisting of two research stages was adopted in the research design. The qualitative study involved participant observations in three GPTs and thirty-three qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted to achieve the first research objective and thus help develop the questionnaire used in the quantitative study. The quantitative study employed a questionaire survey as the main method of data collection and examined the influence of TGIs and TTIs on tourist experience and tourist satisfaction.
The qualitative study found that ten forms of TGIs and eight forms of TTIs commonly occurred in the GPTs in Vietnam. Most of the TGI forms were service-oriented interactions while most of the TTI forms were social-oriented interactions. These forms of TGIs and TTIs were allocated to the four quadrants of an importance-performance analysis matrix through an importance-performance analysis using the quantitative data, which identified managerial implications for tour operators, tour businesses and tour guides. The quantitative study found that the quality of TGIs positively influenced the four dimensions of tourist experience (i.e., learning, enjoyment, escape, aesthetics), but that the quantity of TGIs negatively influenced the four dimensions of tourist experience; both the quantity and quality of TTIs positively influenced the four dimensions of tourist experience. The quantity and quality of TGIs as well as the quantity and quality of TGIs significantly determined tourist satisfaction through the four dimensions of tourist experience.
This study (1) contributes to the literature on social interactions in tourism services by identifying forms of TGIs and TTIs and the factors influencing TGIs and TTIs in GPTs; (2) enriches and advances the literature on co-creation of tourist experience from the tourist perspective by examining the role of tourists in co-creating their experience through TGIs and TTIs and by investigating the role of social interactions in making tourist experience; and (3) provides a broader understanding of tourist satisfaction in the context of GPTs through its attempts to investigate the role of TGIs and TTIs in determining tourist satisfaction through tourist experience. The study results offer invaluable practical insights and directions for tour operators, tour guides and other tour businesses to improve relevant tourism management practices.

El presente trabajo de investigación, consiste en la descripción y análisis de la diversidad cultural y gastronómica que tiene el Perú y que está llamando la atención de muchos turistas. Con este fin, nos preguntamos ¿Existe alguna herramienta que ayude al turista a simplificar la organización de su viaje? En este contexto, la tecnología y la predisposición del usuario en comprar por internet se hace cada vez más un hábito y requerimiento indispensable y nos permite aprovechar y desarrollar un modelo de negocio que no existe aún.
La pregunta se responde mediante encuestas donde se encontró que el turista actual le gustaría encontrar una manera de simplificar y organizar su estadía en la ciudad de Lima, donde pueda elegir y conocer museos, bares, restaurantes y por qué no realizar deportes de aventura, de una manera fácil y rápida.
Teniendo esto en cuenta, creemos que Lima Tourist Pass, puede ayudar al estado peruano con la “Marca Perú”, ofreciendo paquetes turísticos dentro de la ciudad de Lima, mediante alianzas estratégicas con proveedores, brindando un servicio de calidad y donde el valor agregado es ofrecer entretenimiento sin pérdidas de tiempo. “Acceso directo”.The present research work consists in the description and analysis about the cultural and gastronomic diversity that Perú has and is attracting the attention of many tourists. In this way, we ask ourselves, Is there a tool that helps tourists to simplify the organization of their trip? In this context, the technology and the user willingness’ to buy online is increasingly becoming an indispensable habit and requirement that allows us to take advantage of and develop a business model that does not yet exist. The question was answered by surveys, where it was found that tourists want to simplify and organize their stay in Lima, by visiting museums, bars, restaurants, perform adventure sports, in an easy and fast way. . We are sure and believe that, Lima Tourist Pass can help the peruvian state with the “Perú brand”, offering tour packages within Lima city, through strategic alliances with suppliers, providing quality services and where the added value is to offer entertainment, without loosing time. “Direct Access”.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This study is a reflection of the journey that I have taken as a tourism marketing researcher. Based on emergent design, it is a two phase interpretative, autoethnographic study of the relationships between tourism consumers and brands. Through the adoption of qualitative, systematic methods and projective techniques, phase one highlights the lack of consumer brand awareness and commitment to tourism products, the diversity of contemporary tourism behaviour, and reveals the necessity to adopt a far more individualistic approach to understanding tourism consumption behaviour. Phase two thus considers tourism within the context of postmodernism, focusing on the experiences of individual tourism consumers and their functional, emotional and symbolic relationships with brands. Paramount here are the concepts of reflexivity, positionality and voice, hence I actively involved the participants throughout the research process (including during the data interpretation and presentation) and foregrounded my own involvement and experiences- aspects that all contribute significantly to the richness and depth of the study. The study highlights the complexity of tourism consumption behaviour and influences. Tourism experiences are subjective, inconsistent and are influenced and informed by a range of relationships, narratives and discourses. Complex and individual expectations, aspirations, desires and insecurities are underpinned by a far greater awareness of time compression, a sense of self and intrinsic fulfilment. The study illustrates the participants' awareness of the fragility and temporality of their myriad micro-experiences, and highlights how tourism consumers interpret and infer meaning from brands, products, images and associations in the creation and preservation of the overall holiday experience. It supports the need to reach out and step beyond the safety zone of tried and tested, conventional research approaches and further develop ontological and epistemological perspectives that value consumer-centred, diverse, flexible, reflexive and participatory approaches - and judgement criteria - for tourism research.

Online User Experiences (UXs) act as persuasive technology that can nudge users toward making behaviour change. This makes online UX integral to marketing. The tourism industry relies on UX to attract potential customers. Made up of 80% SMEs, the competition is high, hence the SMEs must deliver robust UXs that capture, persuade and convert users into customers. Tourism, despite being an early adopter of technology lags behind in terms of delivering UXs that meet users’ expectations. Furthermore, scholarly works exploring online UX as a persuasive technology within the tourism SMEs, specifically the day-attraction SMEs segment, are lacking. Using the theoretical framework of the Persuasive Systems Design (PSD) model, this research evaluates day attraction SMEs’ online UXs as persuasive technology. The research uses three mixed-methods to present the service providers’ and the users’ perspectives. The first method is a website content analysis that reviews the persuasive architecture of 102-day attraction websites. The second method uses questionnaires to get insights on tourists’ online usage, motivations, opinions and perceptions of online UX delivered by a single day attraction SME (case study). The third method, an eye tracking experiment is an extension to the questionnaires. The outcomes show that the SMEs’ incorporate persuasive UX elements corresponding to usability, visual aesthetics and credibility, but fail at incorporating strategies to support dialogue. The tourists’ suggest that usability, visual aesthetics and credibility UX elements affect their decision to buy, however, certain strategies that enhance dialogue, such as ability to win rewards, are likely to nudge them toward behaviour change. Furthermore, there appears to be a link between visual aesthetics and perceived usability, and their combined effect on persuasiveness. A final outcome establishes tourist’s website reading patterns, emphasising the placement of call-to-actions within an F-shape region. This research contributes through a customised version of the PSD model applicable for tourism SMEs, delivers empirical evidence suggesting additions to the model and, adds to the overall body of knowledge on tourism online UXs and persuasive technology.

Consumers are more and more interested in experiences cultivating a greater sense of purpose and meaningful relationships. In this context, there is a need for conscious and transformative holidays that provide means to change lifestyles, and to increase the positive impact made on destinations. However, we do not yet have a precise understanding of tourist transformation nor a conceptual model of how transformative tourism experiences occur. To address the consumers’ demand for meaningful and refreshing travel, research is needed to understand the dimensions of transformative tourism experiences and to define tourist transformation. To theoretically and empirically analyse transformative tourism experiences and how they are characterised, this thesis presents three studies. The first study of the thesis reviews the contexts in which transformative tourism research has emerged, and the main theories that have been employed to understand the phenomenon. Transformative learning and existential transformation were the two major conceptualisations found to explain changes in tourists. By adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, a range of transformative stimuli occurring across the tourism experience, namely peak episodes, disorienting dilemmas and physical performances, were identified and discussed. After a critical review, the first study proposes a tourist transformation conceptual model, and defines transformation as triggered by a combination of disruptive stimuli experienced throughout the holiday, which change the tourists’ value system and attitudes to create new meanings. Building on the comprehensive conceptual framework of tourist transformation proposed in the Conceptual Model, Study II explores the meanings attached to transformative travel by individuals as tourists, and investigates characteristics of their experiences that may facilitate or inhibit tourist transformation. Adopting a qualitative semi-structured interview approach, it revealed that interviewees viewed subjective tourist transformation as achieving greater self-efficacy, humility and personal enrichment. Study II findings suggest that transformation facilitators correspond to: interacting with locals and travellers, facing challenges, experiencing the sense of the place, long stays and post-travel reflection; while several aspects emerged as transformation inhibitors, such as short stays, repeated activities, and the lack of access to the residents’ lifestyle. When transformation emerged, it was perceived as permanent. Building on the findings of Study II, Study III further analyses gendered and subjective experiences of young travellers, who represent a crucial transition phase that has not yet been addressed within transformative tourism research. In the realm of transformative tourism research and tourism studies on gender, transformation is considered part of the empowering process that women mostly experience through travel. Yet, little is known about the same process from a male or comparative perspective. To address these research gaps, Study III adopts a double duoethnography approach aimed at analysing young male and female experiences of transformation through tourism. Data was collected from the candidate and another researcher’ personal experiences with transformative tourism, then analysed for gender-based similarities and differences. Overall, Study III findings suggest that both young female and male tourism experiences of transformation are characterised by becoming mentally stronger and more confident, as well as by exploring their identities during tourism experiences. The female process of transformation is marked by bodily feelings and self-consciousness, while the male experience is characterised by flow, adaptation, a sense of community with other travellers. The findings of the three studies composing the thesis advance knowledge in transformative tourism, and present important implications for operators and managers.

Sex tourism is one of the world's most controversial industries. While it generates tremendous revenue to the sex tourism destinations, the industry has been condemned as the two main reasons trafficking of women and children exist. Despite this, little research has examined the motivation of sex tourists. The purpose of this study is to develop an understanding of the sex tourism phenomenon and, more specifically, motivation of tourists. This study is exploratory and qualitative in nature. Two key propositions are addressed (1) The person's level of perceived modernity relates to the perceived level of personal needs; and (2) The person's level of perceived personal needs relates to the person's desire of travel for sexual participation.
A mixture of qualitative methods was utilized. The data was collected using semi-structured personal interviews with thirty-three male sex tourists who traveled to Pattaya, Thailand in 2005. The transcribed data was constantly compared and the interviews revealed four substantial themes with eight subsequent categories.
It was discovered that sex tourists were pushed by two main motivational drives: physical and psychological needs which came together as personal needs. Physical needs consisted of "physical problems" and "unmet sexual needs." The psychological problems included "hedonistic drive" and "modernity." The physical gains (tangible attributes) and psychological gains (sense of belonging, freedom and excitement, and power reestablishment) attracted sex tourists to the sex tourism destinations. Therefore, modernity, one of three constructs in this study, was also supported as an important factor which indirectly affected the motivation of the sex tourists.
The last chapter presents the study contribution, implementation, and suggestions for future research. For knowledge contribution to the academic field, this present study reinforces the reliability of Iso-Ahola's (1982) escaping-seeking motivation model. It provides both academic and tourism practitioners a better idea of what sex tourist motivational factors are. The knowledge of sex tourist motivation can assist tourism practitioners at the sex tourism destinations to improve positioning their destinations in the world tourism market. For the tourism academics, this study offers an exploratory ground for future research to build on both qualitatively and quantitatively in order to form a more rigorous sex tourist motivation model.Ph.

I argue that the bubonic tourist is a resistive and reflexive everyday character. I
hypothesize that the bubonic tourist can generate spatial and temporal transgressions that
sanction increased social agency and thereby transform our sense of subjectivity. By
appropriating, cannibalizing, and carnivalizing social codes and modes of operation, I considered
how communities are created through performance. I argue that by departing and arriving from
the centre to the margins of a peer, social, and cultural genus—what Pierre Bourdieu calls
habitus—marginalized individuals can both destabilize and inform demarcated and delimited
categories. By performing and feeding back to social codes and norms experiences of the
margins, the bubonic tourist creates fissures that engender self-reflexivity and meaning. I argue
that, the bubonic tourist as a critical and creative practitioner can emancipate and empower the
self and others. I considered how the bubonic tourist as an ethical individual is a member of a
community that is created through performance. Finally, I considered how creative interventions
might engender someone to transmogrify into the bubonic tourist and how as a methodology the
bubonic tourist could have practical application. This study, seeks to outline the grounds in which
instability can generate agency and a sense of self.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis examines the role and status of the tourist in the present day. It argues that the tourist, and the touristic experience, is emblematic of the consumption-based economy of late capitalism. It analyses tourism as a practice of, rather than opposed to, everyday life, for many subjects in late-capitalist Western society. The argument is developed by comparing and contrasting the tourist with the flâneur. The flâneur is regarded as a representative subjectivity of early modernity who developed visual and spatial practices, methodologies of movement and observation, which interpreted the city. The tourist's relationship with the global spaces of the touristic environment in the present day is theorised in terms of the same practices. The thesis argues that the established notion of a traveller/tourist distinction demonstrates the same ambiguities which attend the figure of the powerful but anxious flâneur. The thesis understands the attitudes of the so-called traveller as being compromised by the increasing commodification of the touristic spaces in the same way that Walter Benjamin (1983) describes the death of the panoptic flâneur in the metropolis. The dichotomous relationship between 'home' and ‘away' is also critiqued by identifying a close relationship between the tourism and media industries. Representations produced by the media industries act to both reinforce established discursive notions of 'other' places and peoples and to bring many representations of the touristic into everyday life. The ready availability of these representations undermines the distinction between the touristic and the everyday.

This study examines the relation between cinematic representations of New Zealand and the tourist imagery of the country. In particular, this thesis will focus on the textual analysis of four films shot in New Zealand: The Piano (dir. Jane Campion, 1993), Whale Rider (dir. Niki Caro, 2002) , The Last Samurai (dir. Edward Zwick, 2003), The Lord of the Rings trilogy (dir. Peter Jackson, 2001-2003). These primary texts are particularly relevant as they have all been used as marketing tools to attract tourists to New Zealand or specific locations within the country. This work draws upon an approach based on the theoretical premises of structuralist semiotics to investigate the way in which the selected films construct their viewers as potential tourists. The representation of space and characters in these texts can, in fact, generate an imaginative and cognitive activity that may, in turn, interpellate the physical and simulated mobility typical of tourist practice. The textual and semiotic analysis of selected film features is complemented by a historiographical overview of New Zealand cinema, which emphasizes the cultural, social and historical specificity of Aotearoa/New Zealand in the development of a 'national' film landscape. This perspective foregrounds the significance that the colonial past of the country has for New Zealand contemporary society. Thus, I argue that the conflation of a tourist gaze with a filmic one is rooted in the colonial history of New Zealand cinema. In turn, the affinity between the modes of vision of both the tourist and the settler is determined by their common need to make sense of an unfamiliar land by framing it within familiar conventions. The thesis also investigates the strategies adopted by local tourist authorities in order to promote each film and its film locations. This is supported by the analysis of selected tourist products, tourist circuits, guidebooks, brochures and sites, related to the four case studies. More broadly, the examination of these texts is linked to a discussion of the relationship between film and tourist discourses.

This study aims at exploring the motivation that drives tourists to townships. The theories that were chosen as the theoretical base of this study were the push and pull theory, the Travel Career Ladder, authenticity and the tourist gaze. Three research questions were asked around the theory base and a survey was done of 100 tourists in selected locations within Soweto. Results obtained from the respondents allowed for statistical analysis. The results indicated that the township tourists were intrinsically motivated and were driven by affiliation needs. Furthermore, the tourists that initially visited Soweto were motivated by authenticity; however, as the amount of tourism in the area grew, the tourist gaze became the more dominant form of motivation. The implications of the study findings are discussed. CopyrightDissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2012.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The focus of this thesis is the combination of two lightly examined areas, tourist-tourist encounters and nationality differences in tourist behaviour. The overall aim is to examine how tourists see other tourists and identify the differences in encounter preferences among tourist subgroups and further to analyse the factors influencing those differences.
This thesis began with the investigation of elements related to tourist-tourist encounters through an examination of the relevant existing literature in Chapter 1. The focus was first placed on the studies of cultural contact and nationality differences. Concepts such as individualistic and collectivistic cultures, and ingroup
and out-group evaluation were emphasized as well as the process of personto-person contact. A review of studies on visitor encounter reactions was also undertaken and key theories and concepts were outlined. This review suggested
that both internal and external factors might influence people’s encounter reaction.
A number of questions were raised concerning whether concepts in cultural contact and the findings of visitor encounter research in leisure studies could be applied to
the tourism settings.
Chapter 2 was also devoted to literature review, but the focus was shifted to the methodological issues. Studies of encounter reactions in leisure studies and
then tourism research in general were reviewed. The framing of questions and a visual approach to measuring the encounter reaction were considered in detail.
Also, the value of employing a multi-method approach in tourism studies was emphasized. At the end of the Chapter 2, the objectives and structure of the thesis,
which were developed from the literature review, were stated. In an attempt to achieve the thesis objectives, several studies were carried out.
Chapter 3 presented a study of tourist-tourist encounters as described in online travelogues by Japanese and Americans. The focus of this study was on two
topics: tourist-tourist encounters and nationality differences in tourist behaviour.
Analysis of 838 encounter episodes found that there were distinct differences in encounter reaction between these two nationalities. The study also identified the
common themes of the encounter experience episodes and summarised typical models of responding to other tourists in the descriptive travelogues.
Chapter 4 presented a study conducted online to investigate the stereotypical ideas of Japanese and American tourists. Based on a 162-person sample, the
study compared the auto and hetero image of Japanese and Americans as tourist and the preferences for seeing them. Major study findings revealed that there were
differences between the own nationality image (auto image) and the image reported by other nationalities (hetero image): Japanese tended to perceive Japanese tourists
rather more negatively than non-Japanese and American tended to perceive American tourists rather more positively than non-Americans.
Chapter 5 was devoted to an initial study using photographic simulation to examine encounter preferences. Seventy-nine Japanese participants responded to
this web-based survey. It was found that the Japanese prefer at least a small number (and not total absence) of people and also prefer to see Caucasian-looking
people at both reef and rainforest settings. This study also served as the basis for developing and conducting the larger scale study presented in Chapter 6.
Chapter 6 contained the results of two studies – research using an on-site questionnaire employing the visual simulation approach with 409 participants, the
results of which were further analysed in a follow-up study using focus groups. The results of these studies provided some valuable insights into the tourist-tourist
encounter phenomenon. Importantly, it was found that Japanese and Westerners have different patterns of encounter preferences depending on the number and
appearance of the other tourists: Japanese tended to prefer small or larger number of people, while Westerners were likely to prefer absence of other people; Japanese
showed strong preference in seeing Caucasian-looking people rather than Asian-looking people whereas Westerners did not indicate any particular preferences
regarding people’s appearance. The results contradicted the existing research in sociology and leisure studies, and can be explained by a combination of tourist
psychology, and differences in culture and home environment of the observing tourists.
Some insights obtained in this thesis include understanding the variation of how tourists view other tourists, and the pattern of tourist-tourist encounter preferences.
The approach to the subject matter, using photographic images as visual simulations, proved a workable methodological style for this kind of work. Further investigation of tourist-tourist relationship, particularly interrelationships involving interactions were
suggested, but some of the immediate value of the present work lies in endorsing the acceptability and visitor preferences for the mixing of international tourists in tourist settings.
A version of the quantitative analysis part of the study reported in Chapter 3 of this thesis has been published in the Journal of Tourism Studies (2001; volume 12(2):
22-31). Theme-based analysis of encounter episodes reported in Chapter 3 was published in the proceedings of the 2001 Annual Conference for the Japanese
Institute of Tourism Research. Also, highlights of the results presented in Section 6.2 were published in the proceedings of the First Asian Pacific Forum for Graduate
Students Research in Tourism, held in Macao in 2002.

Dissertação de mestrado em Tradução e Comunicação MultilingueAs an integral part of the Master’s in Translation and Multilingual Communication I have done a Project which included translation of tourist materials for the Tourism Office of Braga, Portugal (www.cm-braga.pt/wps/portal/public_en). This project gave me an opportunity to apply all my knowledge and skills I have acquired during my translation studies. I tried my hand at translation of tourist materials for Braga visitors and certainly benefited from this work, having developed and mastered all relevant competences. This multilingual project was designed for practicing my foreign languages (EN and PT) and testing my translation-related capabilities. Not only did I gain benefits, but I also contributed to the touristic attractiveness of this amazing and historic city by translating its website and touristic itineraries/booklets from EN/PT into RU. I believe a 10-month period spent in the city and the first-hand knowledge of its sights, cuisine and culture constructively affected the outcome quality to promote this architectural pearl of Portugal.

Я попробовала свои силы в переводе туристических материалов для гостей Браги, в результате чего усовершенствовала уже имеющиеся и приобрела новые умения, а также получила неоценимый опыт. Этот мультиязычный проект послужил плацдармом как для практики иностранных языков (английского и португальского), так и для испытания моих переводческих способностей «в боевых условиях». Я не только извлекла личную выгоду из выполнения этого проекта, но также и внесла свой вклад в повышение туристической привлекательности этого замечательного исторического города посредством перевода вебсайта и туристических маршрутов/буклетов с английского и португальского на русский язык. Я надеюсь, что 10 месяцев, проведенные в Браге, а также знание многих достопримечательностей, кухни и культуры не понаслышке оказали положительное влияние на конечный результат и поспособствовали созданию отличной рекламы для этой архитектурной жемчужины Португалии

Yilan is called the back yard garden of Taipei. Since the Snow Mountain Tunnel opened in 2006, it save the driver’s time and shorten the distance between Yilan and other City. Free way number 5 brings lots of tourists to Yilan and raises tourism Industry in Yilan. The prosperous tourism has turn down suddenly in 2015. Some investigations indicate the phenomenon may cause by the scenic style is similar and the activities of Green Expo and International Children's Folklore & Folkgame Festival are all the same. The festivasl cannot inspire the curiosities of the tourists. Government extended the Freeway number 5 to connect the Suao-Hualian express way which between Suao and Hualian¸ This express way will be completed in 2018¸and then the convenient traffic will bring tourists to Nanao. Yilan need a new scenery spot to bring Yilan tourism industry to another boom. In order to expose Nanao as the next popular scenery in Yilan that become the motivation of this study. A literature review suggest the impact of tour motivation, the tourism image, celebrity endorsers and tourist information Sources on tourist intention. This study tests the significant of the relationships between the tour motivation, the tourism image, celebrity endorsers and tourist information Sources on tourist intention to Nanao.The validity sample is 295 and the methodology is using multiple regression to analysis the data. The results suggest that tourism motivatin has a significant effect on tourist intention to Nanao; tourism image has a significant effect on tourist intention; celebrity endorsers has a partial significant effect on tourist intention, but native celebrity endorser has a significant impact on tourist intention to Nanao; tourist information sources has a significant effect on tourist intention to Nanao. Implications for managers and future research are discussed.

In the last few years, with the growth of GDP and the imporvement of living standard, the leisure consciousness plays an importmant role in life. In Taiwan, due to the restricted area and the numerous number of people, many tour spots are usually saturated with tourists in holidays. It leads to deterioration of tour quality and also brings about the negative impact on the environment. Therefore, people hope to touch an original and natural environment or add some local and cultural contents in trip. It occurs to a new traveling type in the market, thus the ecotourism in this time emerge. The ideal of ecotourism is different from the general sightseeing. It emphasizes on the nature resource protection, the balance of economic benefit and the introspection of human social development. The main vision of ecotourism is emphasized with the caring for the environmental resources, the caring for the local community and the caring for the human beings. This study conducted a questionnaire survey to measure the perspective of tourist environmentalism (caring for the environmental resources), tourist social responsibility sense, tourist humanism (caring for the local community) and tourist healthism (caring for the human beings). A total of 800 questionnaires were administered, and there were 252 vaild questionnaires. The valid rate of questionnaires was 31.5%。Regression analysis model was applied to test the relationships between the tourist willingness to participate the eco-tourism of the perspective of tourist environmentalism, social responsibility sense, humanism and hearthism. This study also provided several managerial and theorical implications through empirical test, and proposed several suggests as a reference for future studies.

Culture has been demonstrated in the literature to have an effect on tourism behavior, including the way that tourists perceive their travel experience; different cultures often hold different values (LeBlanc, 2004 & Sussman and Rashcovsky, 1997). Thus, understanding visitors’ values in comparison to those of the host destination may alter how tourism businesses should relate to tourists, how a tourist may perceive their experience, as well as a tourist’s motivation to travel to a destination (Devesa, Laguna & Palacios, 2010). The combination of heritage and tourism, specifically the UNESCO world heritage site designation, has had a significant impact on tourist motivation as well through the prestige that the designation presents (Parks Canada, 2009).
Current research lacks a focus on the individual in relation to the UNESCO world heritage site designation (Marcotte & Bourdeau, 2006). There is also a lack of research with a Canadian focus as well as comparisons amongst cultures (Kay, 2009). Although there has been some focus on Canada, the demographics have been skewed toward English speaking individuals; a lack of demographic information and data concerning native tongue has been collected (Gibson, McKelvie & DE MAN, 2008). The current study will take a Canadian focus by situating the research within Canada, specifically the UNESCO world heritage site of Quebec City, and compare the Anglophone and Francophone cultures. Anglophone and Francophone tourists are defined in this study as “people whose mother tongue is French (Francophone) or English (Anglophones)” (Gibson et al., 2008, p. 137).
This study uses a questionnaire; which combines the questionnaires found in Lee, Lee and Wicks (2004) and Kozak (2001), in order to collect data on tourist travel motivations and satisfaction. The survey was conducted during October 2011, and involved the researcher travelling to different tourist sites, such as the Citadel and Le Musee de la Civilisation. The final data set consisted of 375 cases, and an effective response rate of 443.
The objectives of this study were: 1.To examine the motivational differences between Canadian Anglophone and Francophone visitors. 2.To examine whether there are cultural differences in the travel needs of Francophone and Anglophone travelers.3.To examine whether tourism sites and businesses in Quebec City are meeting the needs and desires of tourists.
To accomplish these objectives, the following research questions were asked:
1. Why do people visit heritage sites? Specifically, what motivates people to visit heritage sites?
2. Do Canadian Anglophone and Francophone cultures have different motivations for travelling? Sub-questions could include: in general, do different cultures have different motivations for travelling? For example, tourists may aim to connecting with their ancestral roots and culture.
3. Are Anglophone and Francophone tourists satisfied by their travel experience to Quebec City? In particular, are there differences in satisfaction levels between Anglophone and Francophone tourists?
The computer program SPSS (version 19) was used to conduct statistical tests on, and interpret, the data that was collected. Independent samples t-tests, one-way ANOVAs,Two-way ANOVAs and frequencies, modes and medians were performed in order to reach the research objectives and answer the research questions.
This study provides insight into the travel motivations and satisfaction levels of Anglophone, Francophone, and bilingual visitors to Quebec City. The main implications of this study concern marketing, interpretation of sites, and service provision. The findings of this study present conflicting results surrounding the influence of family and culture on travel motivations of tourists. However, the findings of this study suggest that gender has a strong influence on tourist motivation, and marketing efforts should be targeting females as they were more significantly affected by the motivations examined in this study. There are also implications related to interpretation as there were significant differences found between Anglophone and Francophone participants on the motivation factor ‘cultural exploration experiences offered’. Finally there are implications surrounding service provision as the findings suggest that activities may be more geared towards the Anglophone travelers. This study will expand on these implications further.

In Taiwan, we have many commercial websites designated for tourist purpose. Even though those websites are now major sales channels for tourist product in our country, most of them provide only simply tourist information or standard suites of journey. Although there are more than 80% of Taiwanese tourists are now self-service travelers, for these self-service travelers, those tourist websites could neither help them scheduling their own tours nor improve their intention to tour. According to the researches of Holbrook & Hirshman(1982), Boulding(1956), Phelps(1986) and Chou Yen(2003). When user search and browse tourist information, they will more understand and interest of the touring spots and encourage their intention to take the tour in the future. This study believed that if we can increase tourists’ experience and make them feel fun through making their own touring schedule, the increase of tourists’ system experience will create their intention to tour via increasing their touring experience. In this study, participants were divided into 3 groups: A. Reading a suite of tourist schedule then browse the tourist information on the website. B. Browse the tourist information on the website then use the scheduling function to arrange their schedules. C. Browse the tourist information on the website, use the scheduling function and generate a customized tourist guide for their own schedules. The result of the study shows that: 1. The System Experience did influence the Touring Experience and the Touring Experience then influence the tourists’ Intention to Tour. 2. By using our tourist scheduling function, those tourists do have a better System Experience, and that will improve their Touring Experience then improve their Intention to Tour.

The importance of tourism industry to country's economic development has been growing in the recent years; making the global tourism industry become a highly competitive market. The main purpose that government improves its tourism competitiveness is in order to attract a large amount of foreign tourists, increase tourist revenue, and thus creates local employment opportunities. The studies of tourism competitiveness abroad begins in 1990s, not only construction of competitive models, but also the development of indexes and relevant empirical researches are getting more and more mature. The approach of tourism competitiveness abroad can be divided into two kinds. One kind of approach is that researchers develop a set of indexes first, tourism owners than evaluate the county’s relative strengths based on 7-point Likert scale questions. The other approach is aim at calculating the tourism competitiveness comprehensive indexes. Case studies of tourism competitiveness are often restrained by high survey cost. Therefore, in this study we extended the results of tourism competitiveness report from World Economic Forum 2007-2009, considering the deferred effect, using the statistics data from World Tourism Organization of United Nations from 2008 to 2010. With multiple regression models, this research explored the important indexes that affect the amount of foreign tourists and tourist revenue in twelve nations in East Asia. The results of this study revealed that, the dominant indexes affecting tourist arrivals and tourist revenue in East Asia include national safety and security, tourism infrastructures and cultural resources. We hope that the results of this study can be applied in tourism industry and in developing tourism strategy.

abstract: Within the media there is an abundance of reports that claim tourists are being harassed, kidnapped and even killed in some instances as a result of their representation of their country's political ideology and international relations. A qualitative study was undertaken in Bolivia to determine how a tourist avoids or copes with the fear of severe political retribution or harassment in a country whose political environment is largely opposed to that of the traveler's home country. Interviews were conducted in multiple regions of Bolivia, and the data were coded. The results show that tourists experience political retribution on a much smaller scale than initially thought, usually through non-threatening social encounters. The overall themes influencing traveler behaviors are the (Un)Apologetic American, the George W. Bush foreign policy era, avoiding perceived unsafe countries or regions, and Bolivian borders. Respondents, when asked to reflect upon their behavioral habits, do not usually forthrightly deny their country of origin but merely adapt their national identities based on their familial origins, dual citizenship, language abilities or lack thereof, familiarity with the world/regional politics or lack thereof and associating oneself with a popular region in the United States (e.g. New York), rather than the US as a whole. Interestingly, none of the Americans interviewed candidly deny their American nationality or express future intention to deny their nationality. The Americans did express feeling "singled out" at the Bolivian borders which leads to the management implication to implement an automated receipt when purchasing a Bolivian visa and improving the Ministry of Tourism website that would more clearly state visa requirements. Additionally, the image of Bolivia as a culturally and politically homogeneous country is discussed.Dissertation/Thesis
