  • Representation and Spatial Practice in Varanasi (India)
    Sacred Journeys and Profane Travellers: Representation and Spatial Practice in Varanasi (India) Cristiana Zara Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2011 DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY ROYAL HOLLOWAY, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON Declaration of Authorship I Cristiana Zara hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. 2 ABSTRACT This thesis is concerned with tourist representations and practices in India. Orientalist aesthetics have often associated this country with notions of spirituality and mysticism; tourist narratives sustain and reinforce such representations by describing India as a land of ancient rituals and timeless traditions. The visual construction of India’s ‘spiritual landscapes’ has been largely deployed as a powerful tool for subduing the unfamiliar Other within reassuring epistemological categories. However, tourism research has recently become interested in exploring the role of tourist practices in landscape production. Not only do tourists ‘gaze upon’ landscapes, they also script landscapes through practices and performances. By focusing on the case of Varanasi, the Indian pilgrimage city on the banks of the Ganges, this thesis shows how tourist practices (re)produce and make sense of the city’s ‘sacredscape’. Special attention is paid to the riverfront, which epitomizes the cultural and spiritual significance ascribed to the city. Both Hindu and tourist narratives depict the riverfront as embodying a special power, a unique meaning, whether this uniqueness is held to be a ‘spiritual’ or a ‘picturesque’ one. The thesis analyses the city’s riverfront as the place where tourist, ritual, and day-to-day activities are played out and negotiated, and where the aesthetics of landscape is confronted with the materialities and the practices inherent to this place.

  • Ecotourism Outlook 2019 Prepared for the 2019 Outlook Marketing Forum
    Ecotourism Outlook 2019 Prepared for the 2019 Outlook Marketing Forum Prepared by: Qwynne Lackey, Leah Joyner & Dr. Kelly Bricker, Professor University of Utah Ecotourism and Green Economy What is Ecotourism? Ecotourism is a subsector of the sustainable tourism industry that emphasizes social, environmental, and economic sustainability. When implemented properly, ecotourism exemplifies the benefits of responsible tourism development and management. TIES announced that it had updated its definition of ecotourism in 2015. This revised definition is more inclusive, highlights interpretation as a pillar of ecotourism, and is less ambiguous than the version adopted 25 years prior. In 2018, no new alterations were made to this highly cited definition which describes ecotourism as: “Responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment, sustains the well-being of the local people and involves interpretation and education.”1 This definition clearly outlines the key components of ecotourism: conservation, communities, and sustainable travel. Ecotourism represents a set of principles that have been successfully implemented in various communities and supported by extensive industry practice and academic research. Twenty-eight years since TIES was started, it is important to re-visit three principles found in TIES literature – that ecotourism: • is NON-CONSUMPTIVE / NON-EXTRACTIVE • creates an ecological CONSCIENCE • holds ECO-CENTRIC values and ethics in relation to nature TIES considers non-consumptive and non-extractive use of resources for and by tourists and minimized impacts to the environment and people as major characteristics of authentic ecotourism. What are the Principles of Ecotourism? Since 1990, when TIES framework for ecotourism principles was established, we have learned more about the tourism industry through scientific and design-related research and are also better informed about environmental degradation and impacts on local cultures and non-human species.

There is no good news for naturists in that report. The PP has clearly taken the side of the Concerned Citizens and has given the Ray Nkonyeni Local Municipality (previously Hibiscus Coast Municipality) only 60 days to reconsider the decision regarding the Mpenjati Naturist Beach. According to the PP, the Municipality approved the nudist friendly beach before making its own application to the Department of the Environmental Affairs, KwaZulu Natal Ezemvelo Wildlife and they must also approach the Office of the KwaZulu Natal MEC: Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs. The PP also recommends that the Municipality must consult the Chairman of the Commission for the Promotion and Protection of Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Communities (CRL) for “proper guidance and assistance in handling of this matter”.

  • Final Report: Published Version Developing the Impact of Sports Tourism in the East Midlands November 2005
    Final Report: Published Version Developing the Impact of Sports Tourism in the East Midlands November 2005 Developing the Impact of Sports Tourism in the East Midlands 2 Foreword by Jeff Moore, Chief Executive, East Midlands Development Agency Sport inspires us all and raises the aspirations of our nation to succeed. The national euphoria which greeted our successful bid for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games shows just how deeply sport touches so many of us. But sport is more than a leisure pursuit – it is an industry. A very big and very successful industry. A big part of that industry is sports tourism. Here in the East Midlands we have world class sport stars, world class facilities and events that are the envy of many nations in the world let alone other regions in the UK. The question is “do we truly appreciate what we have, and do we know what goals we must work towards to maximise the benefits for the East Midlands?” Do we truly understand the way sport enriches our lives, not only through participation and support for our favourite teams and players, but the economic benefits it brings through trade and tourism and the contribution it can make to the skills of our people and to the regeneration of our communities? This report shows just how much we already owe to sport tourism and how much more we can benefit – economically and socially – if we dedicate effort and resources to making the most of what we have, and to strengthening our region further in sport and its associated benefits.
