  • From Farmers and Shepherds to Shopkeepers and Hoteliers: Constituency-Differentiated Experiences of Endogenous Tourism in the Greek Island of Zakynthos
    From Farmers and Shepherds to Shopkeepers and Hoteliers: Constituency-differentiated Experiences of Endogenous Tourism in the Greek Island of Zakynthos By: Yiorgos Apostolopoulos and Sevil F. Sönmez Apostolopoulos, Y. and S. Sönmez (1999). From Farmers and Shepherds to Shopkeepers and Hoteliers: Constituency-Differentiated Experiences of Endogenous Tourism in the Greek Isle of Zakynthos. International Journal of Tourism Research, 1(6):413-427. Made available courtesy of Wiley-Blackwell *** Note: Figures may be missing from this format of the document *** Note: The definitive version is available at http://www3.interscience.wiley.com Abstract: The effects exerted by endogenous tourism investment on the developing Greek island of Zakynthos are examined, focusing in particular on whether the experiences among residents, tourist enterprises and local government are homogeneous, or whether they reflect varied attitudes related to sociodemographic, destination, development-process and tourist characteristics. Multivariate analysis shows that the main factors contributing to the variance in locals' experiences of and reactions to tourism development are the endogenous nature associated with the early 'development' phase of the evolution cycle, inhabitant constituency, carrying capacity and tourist nationality. In addition, the protection and conservation of natural and sociocultural resources are revealed as serious concerns of the island's local government. Management strategies for visitor-impact alleviation should focus on community-based

It is one of the growing industries in South Africa, as people are constantly coming to South Africa in search of health care services. Health tourism is imperative for economic growth and development and has recently assumed the status of one of the most important contributors to employment, infrastructural and services development, and generating an economic return. Due to these significant contributions, it is vital to have sustainable health care services in countries attracting health tourists. Making use of the traditional literature method, this paper presents an overview of health tourism, the importance of healthcare in South Africa, discussing the sustainability issues faced by health care providers and the impact thereof to health tourism.

  • Research on the Industrial Integration of the Tourism Industry in Xi'an from the Panoramic View
    2018 5th International Conference on Business, Economics and Management (BUSEM 2018) Research on the Industrial Integration of the Tourism Industry in Xi’an from the Panoramic View Jian Xin Xi’an International Studies University, Xi'an, Shaanxi 710128 Keywords: panoramic view; Xi’an tourism; industrial integration Abstract: In order to make an overall developmental planning for taking advantage of tourist resources and promote the development of the tourism industry of Xi’an, it is necessary to research the industrial integration model of Xi’an from the panoramic view, and to integrate the cultural tourism, the sports tourism, the agricultural tourism, and the other industries systematically such as agriculture industry, primary industry, financial industry, information industry; it is also necessary to make a perfect macro adjusting and controlling planning of the tourism industry in Xi’an so as to promote the tourism industry in future. According to relevant documents, this paper researches the industrial integration model of tourism so as to solve some problems in the development of Xi’an tourism industry. As the development of economy and relevant policies, at the present stage, the tourism industry of Xi’an has been greatly developed than before, however, as its further development, there are still many actual dilemmas. During the development of the tourism industry, it is lack of scientific and overall planning, and the integration among the different industries is seriously insufficient, and the standard industrial chain has not been formed, and these factors have badly restricted the sustainable development of tourism industry in Xi'an. In order to optimize the industrial developmental structure of the tourism industry in Xi’an, it is necessary to develop the tourism industry of Xi’an from the panoramic view, and to research the industrial integration model of the tourism industry in Xi’an systematically, so as to find out the appropriate developmental path for the tourism industry in Xi’an and promote the further development of the local economy.
