ROATAN HONDURAS AND PERCEPTIONS OF DIVERS’ LOCATION CHOICES IN THE CARIBBEAN by Juli Dawn Tripicchio A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Geography Western Michigan University December 2013 Thesis Committee David Lemberg, Ph.D. Chair Lucius Hallett IV, Ph.D. James Lewis, Ph.D. ii ROATAN HONDURAS AND PERCEPTIONS OF DIVERS’ LOCATION CHOICES IN THE CARIBBEAN Juli Dawn Tripicchio, M.A. Western Michigan University, 2013 The purpose of this study is to determine the hierarchy of location choices that divers make for destinations in the Caribbean; to identify where Roatan, Honduras fits into this hierarchy; and to determine strategies to increase the volume of dive tourists to Roatan. This research may provide resorts on Roatan, along with other Caribbean dive destinations, with data to incorporate into their own planning and marketing processes so they can better accommodate dive customers and their families. In order to get a better understanding of dive customers, a survey was given to customers of a survey was conducted at a successful resort in Roatan, Honduras, Anthony’s Key Resort with an aim to collect data on diver’s experiences in the Caribbean and specifically Roatan. On-site field observations as well as interviews also constituted part of the research for this project. The analysis of 97 Surveys, along with the interviews, identified a series of attributes that were used to develop a Diver Destination Decision Model that lays out the order in which decisions are made by scuba divers. The findings in this research point towards the importance of the condition of coral reefs and the value of word of mouth concerning reef condition as a source of information for many divers. Copyright by Juli Dawn Tripicchio 2013 iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to begin by thanking my family and especially my husband for his continuous support throughout this process. The role he took on was huge as we had two babies during the duration of the writing of this thesis, and without his patience, help and support, I would’ve never been able to finish it. Secondly, I would like to acknowledge the influence of Dr. David Lemberg of Western Michigan University. His enthusiasm for and support of academic work in Scuba Diving research as well as personal interest in this sport inspired me to pursue this subject, and ultimately led to the work contained in this thesis. I would also like to thank my committee members, Dr. Lucious Hallet and Dr. James Lewis for their time and commitment to helping this thesis come to fruition. Dr. Greg Veeck and Dr. Li Yang were also influential professors who provided assistance and guidance throughout my Master’s degree program. I would also like to thank Samir Galindo, owner of Anthony’s Key Resort in Roatan, Honduras who was influential in my research for allowing me to interview guests and employees and collect data at his resort and for the hospitality he provided during my stay on Roatan. Finally I would like to thank my parents Richard and Pamela Swenor for teaching me to be strong, independent, to explore the world around me, and to follow my heart.

Carl Krueger St. John, Cudahy WI is celebrating 110 years of Ministry! Founded in 1906 by Slovak Immigrants, St. John “kicked-off” this Anniversary observance year with English/Slovak Communion Worship Services led by the “last-remaining-100% Slovak Heritage-full-time-active- Slovak-Pastors”, and a Slovak menu dinner. At the turn of the 20th Century, Slovakia was ruled by the Hungarian Empire, and subjected to political, social, and religious oppression and persecution. The United States was seen as the land of freedom and opportunity. Slovak men made their way to the Milwaukee area Happy Mother’s Day and found work at the Patrick Cudahy Meat Packing Company May 8th slaughtering and processing beef and pork. The men worked long hours, saved money, then sent for their wives and families. Almost every Slovak adult packed their Slovak Bible and their Slovak Hymnal. First, families found homes, then they sought to establish a Church. “The Slovak Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Unaltered Augsburg Confession, St. John the Baptizer” was founded October 1906, with the city of Cudahy established the same year. The Pastor of a near- by German Lutheran Church provided pastoral care and worship services, along with visiting Slovak Pastors from Chicago IL and Whiting IN. To obtain their own Pastor from the Seminary, St. John needed to join the Slovak Evangelical Lutheran Church (SELC).

  • Scuba Diving Tourism Is Being Underestimated

    Scuba Diving Tourism Is Being Underestimated

    Scuba Diving Tourism is being underestimated Weak links between divers and local communities, governance issues and lack of support from authorities and the scientific community - these emerged during the Green Bubbles project that shed light on problems preventing scuba diving tourism systems from functioning as they should. Scuba diving tourism encourages conservation and supports local communities. It also generates billions worldwide and contributes heavily towards economies - yet its potential as a sustainable form of tourism is not being recognised enough. As a result, scuba diving tourism systems rarely function the way they should - and the scuba diving industry, and its stakeholders, are suffering the consequences. The EU-funded project Green Bubbles set out to address this issue by shedding light on what is affecting the healthy functioning of SCUBA Ecosystem. The goal of the project was to understand the problem and propose solutions to stimulate the growth of the scuba diving tourism industry. Understanding its interactions with environmental, social, and economic factors is important in the context of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), where dynamics between role players are complex. The project set out to explore two case studies from two completely different realties: the Portofino MPA in Italy and the Ponta do Ouro MPA in the developing country of Mozambique. Local dive operators from both countries were invited to share their views on scuba diving tourism industry during focus groups and interviews. Interestingly the replies, obtained from different corners of the globe, showed strong commonalities: Governance issues Operators in Italy and Mozambique felt that governance issues are hampering the functioning of the scuba diving tourism industry.

Some of these studies have investigated competitiveness from a demand perspective based on destination attributes, but these attributes were derived initially from a supplier’s perspective. This study takes an alternative perspective; that the ability to provide superior value to the customer is critical to destination competitiveness. It addresses a gap in the literature of destination competitiveness by focusing on tourists’ perspectives of value.

Computational methods such as resampling and bootstrapping are also used when data are insufficient for direct statistical methods. There is little point in making highly precise computer calculations on numbers that cannot be estimated accurately Group Interaction in High Risk Environments 1st edition. Categories : Underwater diving safety. Thus, the surface-supplied diver is much less likely to have an "out-of-air" emergency than a scuba diver as there are normally two alternative air sources available. Methods for dealing with Group Interaction in High Risk Environments 1st edition risks include Provision for adequate contingencies safety factors for budget and schedule contingencies are discussed in Chapter 6. This genetic substudy included Two Sister Study participants and their parents, and some Sister Study participants who developed incident breast cancer invasive or DCIS before age 50 during the follow-up period. In terms of generalizability, our sample is predominantly non-Hispanic white women, and the results may not apply to other racial or ethnic groups. This third parameter may give some management support by establishing early warning indicators for specific serious risks, which might not otherwise have been established. ROVs may be used together with divers, or without a diver in the water, in which case the risk to the diver associated with the dive is eliminated altogether. Suitable equipment can be selected, personnel can be trained in its use and support provided to manage the foreseeable contingencies. However, taken together, there is the possibility that many of the estimates of these factors would prove to be too optimistic, leading.
