Touristic disaster refers to the application of tourism modes of staging, visualization, and discourse to reenchant the money making deterrents (stigma) of “destruction” and “ruin” and re-signify disaster to indicate “recovery” and “rebirth.” This paper uses empirical examples from New Orleans to examine the transition from “disaster tourism” to “recovery tourism” in tourism framings of post-Katrina rebuilding. The concept of touristic disaster views disaster-deva- stated neighborhoods as sites and arenas of contestation in which opposing groups and interests battle to control representations of urban space. The paper illustrates the motivations, processes, and paradoxical impacts of the commodification and global representation of “disaster” and “recovery” and provides insights into the ways in which people can use spectacle to contest marginalization. 1.

  • Climbers' Embodied Quests for 'Original Adventure'
    “You can never cross the same river twice”: Climbers’ embodied quests for ‘original adventure’ in southern Thailand. Abstract This article presents ethnographic research into individual narratives of adventure in a small, undeveloped bay called Ton Sai in Southern Thailand’s Krabi Province. Ton Sai is extremely popular with Western rock climbers, and increasingly with other adventure-seekers and back-packers questing for ‘authentic’ Thailand, yet is subject to almost no representation in the commercial sense. It is an example of a destination that is not on the corporate ‘radar’, yet, as will be seen, is famed, desired and produced by ‘niche’ tourists seeking very specifically-valued tropical adventures. The research aims to interrogate how such a destination becomes, and remains, valued as adventurous by climbers, and therefore shed some light on individual, subjective production of adventure in specific Developing World contexts. Drawing on original interview and other ethnographic data collected during winter 2012/13, the article argues that even when third-party commercial mediators are absent, the powers of quest for authenticity and adventure are powerful enough to turn the wheels of mediation themselves. In the ‘elite circles’ in which this group manoeuvres, notions of ideal adventure space run deep and are reproduced discursively and through embodied performances in an exoticised environment that is valued for its ‘primitive timelessness’. The implications of this for locals are explored. Key Words: Adventure; subjectivity; climbing tourism; distinction; the ‘primitive’. Introduction The cultural and commercial production of idealised places and their human inhabitants in tourism promotional literature is being well-explored. Visual representations of tourist destinations such as brochures, in-flight magazines, posters, websites, television programmes and postcards can reveal how places are viewed as objects of tourism (Jenkins, 1999 and 2003; Groves and Timothy, 2001; Edwards, 1996; Dann, 1996, Jaworski and Pritchard, 2005).

Indeed it is the international representation of the Maldives. The reason for this touristic development is segregation: vacationers are allowed (and waited) to spend time in luxury resorts whereas Maldivian inhabitants are contained on local islands. In view of this phenomenon of social and spatial separation, the term “visit” is inappropriate. “Experience” would be more suitable: Maldivian island-hotel is a model of enclosure, repeated at different scales and concerning different people.

  • Dark Tourism Consumption in Mexico City: a New Perspective of The
    The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: www.emeraldinsight.com/2254-0644.htm JTA 26,2 Dark tourism consumption in Mexico City: a new perspective of the thanatological experience 152 Mark Speakman Universidad Autonoma de Guerrero – Campus Acapulco, Acapulco, Mexico Received 30 September 2018 Revised 17 June 2019 Accepted 29 July 2019 Abstract Purpose – The Euro-centric nature of dark tourism research is limiting the perspective and restricting the scope of contemporary theory. Hence, this paper aims to explore how dark tourism consumption differs in a society apart from the Anglo/Eurosphere. This is done by testing Stone and Sharpley’s (2008) thanatological framework in Mexico, a country whose residents are renown for having a unique perspective on death, to assess whether Mexican dark tourism consumers undergo a similar, or different, thanatological experience to that proposed in the framework. Design/methodology/approach – The study adopts a qualitative approach in the form of a case study. The opinions of Mexican dark tourism consumers were gained by using the technique of semi-structured interviewing in four separate dark tourism sites within Mexico City, with coding serving as the form of analysis. Findings – The findings show that due to the non-existence of an absent/present death paradox in Mexican society, the research participants experienced a thanatological process that contrasts with those from Western societies, which indicates that the thanatological framework is unsuitable in the context of Mexican dark tourism. At the same time, the study contests the common perception that Mexicans have a jovial familiarity with death, and demonstrates that in this case the thanatological process confirmed an acceptance of death, rather than any kind of intimacy.

    EuroEconomica Issue 3(39)/2020 ISSN: 1582-8859 The Safety of Township Tourists in Cape Town, South Africa: A Customer Orientation Approach Thandokazi Lulu Mbane1, Ikechukwu O. Ezeuduji2 Abstract: Townships have turned out to be places of leisure consumption. However, personal safety has been a major concern in South Africa. It is the aim of this paper, using a customer orientation approach, to explore township tourists’ perceptions in terms of their safety while visiting Cape Town (Gugulethu, Khayelitsha and Nyanga townships) in South Africa. This research used a quantitative method (questionnaire survey) to collected data from 171 respondents (tourists) in Cape Town Townships. Data were analysed using inferential statistics (correlation test and regression analysis), and Cronbach Alpha’s coefficients were used to test reliability of the multivariate data. This research found that in general, tourists are mostly satisfied and hold positive perception of Cape Town townships, although the study unearthed certain safety issues. Tourists’ knowledge of their contribution to the economic development of the study areas encourage them to revisit. This study recommends to Cape Town Tourism to inform tourists about safety issues in townships prior to visiting Cape Town townships. This will enable tourists to be more vigilant. It is also suggested by this study that tourists use tour guides who are familiar with these townships, during their visit. Keywords: Customer orientation; tourist satisfaction; perceived risks; tourist safety; township tourism JEL Classification: M31; O55; R11; Z32 1. Introduction Tourism is one of the leading and fastest growing economic industries in the world; as such, it is a crucial tool for stimulating economic growth (Mehmood et al., 2016).

  • “Sustainable Tourism- a Tool for Development”
    WORLD TOURISM DAY- 2017 “Sustainable Tourism- a Tool for Development” #TravelEnjoyRespect DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION -TEZPUR UNIVERSITY- UTTARAN- 2017 SPECIAL EDITION FOREWORD Dr. Papori Baruah, Professor and Head Department of Business Administration, Tezpur University I am greatly pleased that the students have come out with yet another edition of ‘Uttaran’ coinciding with the ‘World Tourism Day’. I congratulate the students and the faculty for this effort. The theme Sustainable Tourism is indeed very apt in present day context. We have seen several destinations in the world creating havoc to the environment and the artefacts by unplanned management of tourism activities. This has happened to the snow-capped mountains of the Himalayas to seaside destinations of Thailand. Hence, we must relook at our tourism strategies to conserve the pristine beauty of nature and preserve the heritage for future. We need to shift our focus from gaining mere economic benefit through exploitation of resources to sustainability. I am sure that the articles published in ‘Uttaran’ will at least try to usher some change in the mind-set of the readers. Best wishes.

Chapter 12 The impact of development of religious tourism on the host community - A case study of Mount E’mei in China Xinlei Hu and Rong Huang University of Plymouth, Plymouth, UK 12.1 Introduction Going on a pilgrimage is included in the concept of tourism, and a new form of tourism, religious tourism, has been created (Sharpley and Sundaram, 2005). A review of English language literature sources reveals fewer studies related to the Buddhist religion compared to the other main religions. However a review of literature sources in Chinese (Gao and She, 2010) makes it clear that Chinese scholars pay more attention to the development and resources of religious tourism, in particular Buddhism. Sharpley (2014) notes that religious tourism can have a deep impact on a locality. This chapter discusses relationships between religions and tourism, stakeholders’ perceptions and factors that influence their views. A case study of the different impacts of development of Buddhism related tourism in Mount E’mei on the host community is included, which was based on a series of interviews with relevant tourism industry stakeholders.

  • Of Voyeuristic Safari Tours and Responsible Tourism With
    Vol. 144, No. 2 · Research article Of voyeuristic safari tours and responsible tourism with educational value: Observing DIE ERDE moral communication in slum and Journal of the Geographical Society township tourism in Cape Town and of Berlin Mumbai Julia Burgold1 and Manfred Rolfes1 1 Universität Potsdam, Institut für Geographie, Karl-Liebknecht-Str. 24-25, 14476 Potsdam, Germany, [email protected], [email protected] Manuscript submitted: 29 May 2012 / Accepted for publication: 08 July 2013 / Published online: 19 November 2013 Abstract Sightseeing in the poorest quarters of southern hemisphere cities has been observed occurring in Cape Town, Rio de Janeiro, Mumbai and many other cities. The increasing global interest in touring poor urban environments is accom- panied by a strong morally charged debate; so far, this debate has not been critically addressed. This article avoids asking if slum tourism is good or bad, but instead seeks a second-order observation, i.e. to investigate under what conditions the social praxis of slum tourism is considered as good or bad, by processing information on esteem or dis- esteem among tourists and tour providers. Special attention is given to any relation between morality and place, and the thesis posited is that the moral charging of slum tourism is dependent on the presence of specific preconceived notions of slums and poverty. This shall be clarified by means of references to two empirical case studies carried out in (1) Cape Town in 2007 and 2008 and (2) Mumbai in 2009.
