Tourism: Politics and Public Sector Management/James Elliott Tourism Tourism looks set to replace oil as the most important global industry as countries capitalise on the high returns it offers, often at the expense of the environment, communities and individuals. James Elliott explores the ways in which governments of both developed and developing countries manage this diverse and volatile industry. Using case studies from the UK, Australia, Vietnam and Thailand, and referring to the USA, this wide-ranging book covers key aspects of tourism management at all levels of government. Topics include: • tourism organisations • policy making and planning • central and local government involvement • public and private sector management • environmental control and sustainable development. Accessible information boxes and excerpts from official documents, combined with historical and economic overviews, are employed to provide a framework from which to evaluate and analyse why and how governments are involved in managing this complex and highly competitive sector. James Elliott is a Senior Lecturer in Public Administration at the University of Queensland, Australia.

Governments in countries at all stages of development are increasingly dependent on it, but it is of special significance in countries intent on achieving sustainable development. This leads to general questions about the role of governments in various countries, questions about what governments conceive to be their particular responsibilities in relation to tourism, and questions about the relationship of tourism to public sector management. In the longer term there are also questions about the consequences of the development of tourism for citizens. It is increasingly apparent that people at all levels of society and in all occupations are affected in one way or another by this fast growing and important industry. Consequently, Professor Elliott’s book, which examines all levels of government in relation to tourism, is timely and welcome. Because tourism is such a relatively new sphere for public sector management, the problems associated with it are only just becoming apparent. At one extreme, the development of tourism may be associated with the growth of the mass media and international marketing, which contribute to its vigorous growth. However, at the other extreme, issues of crime, drug use and sexual disease, including AIDS, may be seen in a new light because in some areas their growth has been associated with the expansion of tourism. Both these relationships are considered in this book, which is concerned with what tourism is and how tourism relates to other phenomena and responsibilities in both the public and private sectors of the economy. The scholarly literature in this field is still in its infancy and Professor Elliott’s monograph is an original and significant contribution to it. There can be few other scholars who can match his breadth of experience and depth of study, reflecting the many years he has devoted to this aspect of public sector management. His wide-ranging Series editor’s preface ix knowledge is well illustrated in the comparative material contained in his book, which focuses on the United Kingdom, Australia, Thailand and Vietnam. However, the book also draws attention to the experience and sometimes the peculiarities of managing the tourist industry in other countries. This study is therefore a particularly welcome addition to the Public Sector Management series because it looks at some of the global contexts and applications of public sector management in relation to the new and fast growing tourist industry.

It is about politics, policies, different kinds of governments and their organisations; it is about how governments manage their relations with industry. There can be conflict between the industry and local people and conservationists about tourism development, the destruction of the environment and the use of power.

A Letter from IPPL’s Chairwoman Dear IPPL Member, We at Headquarters are all devastated by the loss in October of our “special needs” gibbon, Beanie. You’ll find the story of his life in the centerfold of this issue. In 1990 Beanie had developed encephalitis when living at a primate facility in Florida. This terrible disease left him blind and suffering from epilepsy, so he was sent to IPPL for special care. Beanie didn’t let his handicaps defeat him. He was a spunky, personable gibbon, adored by our staff members. Beanie could sing gibbon songs. The only problem was that sometimes he would start singing at 3 a.m. because, being blind, he didn’t know the difference between night and day! He could perform spectacular gibbon acrobatics at whirlwind speed, sometimes spinning round a stationary bar fifteen times. Beanie loved food and had strong preferences. He loved sweet potatoes, but only if they were baked and had a sprinkling of sugar! Another favorite was raisin bread. But not just any raisin bread. He preferred Arnold’s raisin bread, which is loaded with raisins. If you offered him a substitute he would throw it away. We are all going to miss Beanie greatly, but the 31 resident gibbons keep us busy. Courtney is now two and a half years old and still very much an infant.

    Society & Animals 21 (2013) 266-283 brill.com/soan “Buddhist Compassion” and “Animal Abuse” in Thailand’s Tiger Temple Erik Cohen The Hebrew University of Jerusalem [email protected] Abstract The Tiger Temple in Kanchanaburi province, western Thailand, is a popular tourist attraction, offering visitors a unique opportunity to interact closely with tigers. It presents itself as a “tiger sanctuary,” whose tigers have been tamed by nonviolent Buddhist methods. This claim has been disputed by visitors and animal welfare activists. This article confronts the Temple’s master nar- rative of “Buddhist compassion” with a counternarrative of “animal abuse” according to which, rather than being a “sanctuary” for tigers, the Temple in fact mistreats the animals and exploits them commercially. However, even as an animal welfare organization’s report confirmed the abuse of the tigers and called for their confiscation and for the suspension of their display to visitors, the Thai authorities granted the Temple permission to operate as a zoo. This decision highlights the profound contrast between Thai and Western-inspired international norms for the treatment of captive (wild) animals. The article examines the cultural roots of this contrast and argues that in their narrow focus on the Tiger Temple the critics have unwittingly missed the opportunity to use the Temple’s animal abuse as an instance of a wider problem in the per- ception and treatment of (wild) animals in Thailand. Keywords animal abuse, animal shows, ethical treatment of animals, human-animal engagement, tigers, Tiger Temple Introduction Shows displaying captive wild animals in “contrived settings” (Cohen, 2009, pp.

    SC61 Doc. 41 Annex 3 (English only / únicamente en inglés / seulement en anglais) Annex 3 Conservation of and trade in tigers and other Appendix-1 Asian big cat species Report submitted by CITES Management Authority of Thailand for the 61st meeting of the Standing Committee To comply with Resolution Conf. 12.5, Thailand has taken various steps on implementing conservation of and trade in tigers and other Appendix-1 Asian big cat including research, population sustainable conservation and management, public awareness, and related law enforcement. 1. The status of Tigers in Thailand In Thailand, tigers occur in 25 of 188 terrestrial protected areas from the southern border with Malaysia to the far north near the borders with Laos and Myanmar. Nine of twenty five protected areas have moderate to high tiger density, and only two of these nine protected areas have a high density of tigers. Currently tigers occur in 10 of 17 recognized terrestrial forest complexes. Six of ten forest complexes support low density of tigers, and one (Western Forest Complex) has a core area with a high tiger density (Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary) while the other three forest complexes (Khaeng Krachan Forest Complex, Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex (DP-KY), and Hala-Bala Forest Complex) support moderate tiger density. During the year 2008 and 2009, Thailand’s tiger biologists from Khao Nang Rum Wildlife Research Station conducted camera trap surveys in Huai Kha Khaeng and Thung Yai Wildlife Sanctuary documenting photo- captures of 39 and 14 individual tigers, respectively. Based on the results and the sign surveys summarized above, biologists have reached a consensus conclusion that there are likely 190-250 tigers remaining in Thailand.
