Participants heard of the complexities of communities and the need to be inclusive in bringing together diverse community constituents in planning efforts. Panelists insisted on the need for leaders not just to wait for people to come with community development ideas but to go out and create good projects. And after that stage, community leaders need to be aggressive about getting people involved.

  • Identifying Critical Factors Affecting Tourist Experiences in Can Tho: a Text Analysis Approach
    Proceeding of The 2nd International Conference on Economics, Business and Tourism IDENTIFYING CRITICAL FACTORS AFFECTING TOURIST EXPERIENCES IN CAN THO: A TEXT ANALYSIS APPROACH Phan Nhu Ai1 Mai Ngoc Khuong2 Abstract This study is to identify the key factors that affect positive and negative tourist experiences in Can Tho through analysis of online customers reviews. The paper used a qualitative research method known as netnography combined with content analysis technique. The total of 467 reviews of tourists are collected and analyzed to explore tourist experiences. The software Nvivo is utilized to code data and find themes. Finally, six main factors with various subcategories are recognized to affect tourist experiences directly including Accommodation, Food and Beverage, Natural characteristics, Cultural characteristics, People and Perceived value. The study is hoped to be useful for Can Tho to provide suitable recommendations that improve the tourism services and enhance tourist experiences. In addition, this research not only contributes to tourism industry but also supports the basis to conduct further research in the future.

    the the newsletter of the Center for the study of southern Culture • winter 2013 the university of mississippi The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture Nearly Complete Final Volumes to Be Published This Spring The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture series, a decade-long project that began in earnest in early 2003, is nearing comple- tion. The final two volumes in the 24-volume series, Folk Art and Race, are scheduled for publication by the University of North Carolina Press (UNC Press) this May. Volumes 21 and 22, Art and Architecture and Science and Medicine, are now in print. “The twenty-four volumes of The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture stand as an extraordinary achievement and a tribute to the long and productive relationship UNC Press has enjoyed with the Center for the Study of Southern Culture,” said UNC Press editorial director Mark Simpson-Vos. “Seeing the now almost-complete set of books on my shelf is one of the daily joys of coming into my office, especially when I think of the ways readers will benefit for years to come from the hard work and thoughtful contributions of the series’ many volume editors and contributors.” The final countdown to the realization of the entire series began with volume 21, Science and Medicine. Coedited by the Center for the Study of Southern Culture associate director for publications James G. Thomas Jr. and former Center di- rector Charles Reagan Wilson, the book appeared in print this past November. Thomas and Wilson have also worked as the series’ managing editor and general editor, respectively.
