▼ The spatial evolution of control over hotels in Chiang Mai, Upper Northern Thailand is examined using a geographical multiple research strategy and Keller's model of hierarchies of control and capital input. The spatial development pattern of hotels in Chiang Mai during 1960-1992 is portrayed using mapping, mean centre analysis, and spatial clustering analysis. The geographic origin of major share owners of these hotels during the same time period is revealed mainly from an official register records search. Structured and unstructured interviews provide an insight into Chiang Mai’s hotels and tourism development, and the underlying industry control. The spatial evolution of control over the hotels is revealed from a statistical analysis of association measurement of spatial development and development pattern of geographic origin of hotel major share owners. The potential validity of Keller’s model of hierarchy of control and capital input, and of Butler’s model of tourist area life cycle (the model from which Keller’s model is extended) is examined in a Southeast Asian context. Both models prove valid as “theoretical guide posts” or as conceptual frameworks. The models lay out the stages of development of a tourist destination: Butler’s in general evolution, Keller’s in hierarchies of control. Using both models together facilitates the identification of a current development stage of a tourist destination, in this case, Chiang Mai. The label of the hierarchical levels of control over a tourist destination, however, is site-specific depending on the political economy of the region. In a developing country destination like Thailand, the primacy of the capital city is eminent. The hierarchical levels of control thus proceed from the local, to regional, to the capital city, to the national, and the international, consecutively. A spatial model of control over tourism space is proposed, filling the gap that presently exists in the study of geography of tourism and tourism control. Advisors/Committee Members: Keller, C. Peter (supervisor).

Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2013.

The phenomenon of the destination wedding denotes a cultural shift in the way Americans assign meaning to the wedding ritual as a whole. Traditionally, the wedding was seen as a ritual rooted in community and performed in adherence to overall societal conventions. However, contemporary couples increasingly see the wedding as a ritual in service of addressing the historical conflicts inherent in it: the discourses of society and the individual, marriage and romance, industry and consumer. This dissertation tracks the variety of ways in which the tension between these discourses has been manifest in the practice of the wedding throughout its historical trajectory and shows how it can be seen as a way society and couples have addressed shifting social relations and changing social identities as shaped by popular media. Couples increasingly use media to negotiate the wedding experience; the commercial white wedding practice is re-contextualized by their production of, and interaction with, industry media. The destination wedding mitigates the tension between discourses constructing marriage by incorporating the discourses of intimacy as well as that of tourism. The destination wedding is sold by the industry as an escape, escape from the social, familial, and financial pressures of a large wedding. But it is also framed as a tool for building intimacy. Rather than promoting an individual escape, the destination wedding offers the image of an escape by a couple, in order to create a shared identity in a liminal space. The tropical beach is the ideal location sold by the industry for the wedding away because of its own discourse and ideology as an iconic tourist destination. For American couples the iconic beach location is Hawaiʻi. Its construction by the tourist and wedding industries represents the conflation of the competing discourses of the wedding as a social imperative, travel as an escape, and romance – as epitomized by the image of a tropical paradise. The increasing popularity of the destination wedding demonstrates an attempt by couples to negotiate and even change the meaning and purpose of the wedding ritual; and, as a result, the wedding itself is taking on new meaning.

▼ This is an inductive research project which critically evaluates the application of stakeholder theory to the analysis of tourism destination networks. It explores the dynamics of the relationships between the tourism organisations involved using the case of Agra, India. Cities and towns become tourist destinations because of the activities of a large number of organisations to provide attractions, accommodation, and accessibility. Understanding the relationships between these organisations can explain how tourism developed and is currently managed, which will in turn help not only existing and potential tourism businesses but also destination management organisations to act more effectively. This research examines the relationships of power and dependency that exist between individual and group organisations and the way in which they motivate their behaviour towards each other in a tourism industry. The review of the literature identifies the key attributes of stakeholder power in these relationships to be resource and network bases of power. However, tourism stakeholders join social networks and power can be limited by ethical constraints, either embodied in laws and regulations, or in mutually accepted codes of behaviour. These sources of influence are termed legitimacy. This research also demonstrates that urgency is an important attribute and this is examined because it is instrumental in making these relationships dynamic. Qualitative interviews were conducted with tourism stakeholders (both commercial and non-commercial) in Agra, India to identify and analyse the perceptions, attitudes and experiences of their relationships with others within their network. Consequently, these relational-attributes were further sub-classified to aid a better understanding. An analytical framework is developed to facilitate understanding and evaluate the implications of stakeholder relationships within a tourism destination scenario. Consequently, it was found that urgency is the most important attribute of all with respect to making a decision or carrying out an act.

▼ The present research addresses a gap in the academic literature on the transformation and development of coastal destinations in the transition economy of Bulgaria. It takes further the tradition in tourism studies that calls for the incorporation of the contextual change in the process of destination development. The purpose of this study was to determine whether, and in what ways, the nature of the socio-economic and political transition has influenced the processes of tourism development of a coastal tourism destination in the period 1989-2009 and if the tourism stakeholders have incorporated and implemented the principles of sustainability in the transformation and operation of the tourism sector, with the associated questions of why, why not, and how. In order to answer the research questions, a case study research was undertaken in the Varna-Balchik destination on Bulgaria‟s North Black Sea coast, which allowed the study of the whole spectrum of developmental processes in the period of transition. Data for the research was collected using a multi-method research approach with a combination of secondary data and primary data gathered using qualitative research techniques including a series of stakeholder interviews and observation. The semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with decision-makers, involved in tourism development in the destination studied at some time over the studied period (1989-2009), from the stakeholder groups at a local, regional and national level. This research employed the path-dependent path-creative approach to analyse the nature of transformation and conceptualise the forces which impact on tourism development on Bulgaria‟s North Black Sea coast. The research findings indicated that sustainability did not fit well into the rapidly changing CEE transition context. In spite of the increasing empowerment of the local communities and their attempts to achieve balanced development by implementing integrated and long-term planning, the primary data revealed growing concerns over the ineffectiveness of policy-making, the increasing urbanisation of the coastal strip and the competitiveness of Bulgaria‟s North Black Sea coast tourism offer. An analytical framework was developed based on the research findings to explain the specific development path(s) of the destination studied. It took into account the political (politicising), psychological (mentalities), institutional dimensions of transition (property rights, social networks and local empowerment), the role of the state (reduced state intervention) and the individual (human capital). Some of these themes (politicising and mentalities in particular) have been largely absent from previous research on tourism in transition and from the wider tourism studies.

▼ The aim of this research was to provide an analysis of the experiences of female business owners in the development and management of micro and small handicraft businesses in Jordan, which is an Arab Islamic country. The study adopted a critical realism and critical theory/feminism stance with the focus being on the inter-action between structure and agency. The Structuration Theory was the main theory underpinning interpretation of the findings for this thesis; it is concerned with structure and agency and the duality between the two. Structure refers to the environment within which the women live and work: the socio-cultural-religious environment and the external business-related environment. Agency refers to the nature and extent of the freedom demonstrated by women business owners when choosing their course of action within these environments. The study used a sequential, mixed method research approach, which was chosen as the most effective and appropriate approach to explore these phenomena. The primary data was collected through a drop and collect quantitative self-completion questionnaire in the first phase, followed by face-to-face in-depth semi-structured qualitative interviews in the second phase. The samples consisted of 264 women, who completed the questionnaire during the quantitative phase of the research, and 12 women, who were interviewed in-depth in the qualitative phase of the research. The quantitative data analysis was conducted using SPSS, whilst the qualitative data was analysed using thematic analysis. Most of the published research on the experiences of, and influences on, female owners of micro and small businesses is based on Western countries (He 2011). This research adds to that knowledge by focusing on female business owners of handicraft businesses in the patriarchal, collective, Islamic society of Jordan. The quantitative research provides a profile of the women business owners, along with details of their businesses and their experiences during the start-up and operational stages. The qualitative research identifies the power of the socio-cultural-religious and business environment factors on the behaviour and attitudes of the women business owners. Together, these research findings reveal the influence of the socio-cultural-religious factors and business environment factors on the behaviour and attitudes of female owners of micro and small handicraft businesses, as well as the ability of these women to choose their own courses of action. The findings of the quantitative and qualitative research were synthesised into a conceptual framework.

▼ This study aims to develop a performance evaluation framework for Destination Management Organisations (DMOs). Although tourism researchers (Ritchie and Crouch 2005; Pike 2005; Bornhorst et al. 2010; Morrison 2013; Pike and Page 2014) acknowledge that the organisational performance of a DMO is a key determinant of destination development and competitiveness, existing studies in this area are scarce. Therefore, the major contribution of this study is towards the advancement of knowledge and understanding of the construct of DMO effectiveness, and ultimately the development of a robust DMO performance evaluation framework (PEF). A stronger focus on evaluation of DMO effectiveness is particularly relevant in light of the recent public sector funding cuts in England that have significantly affected DMOs. The thesis is informed by a critical review of the existing tourism destination development and performance management literature. The discussion focuses on the strategic and operational roles of DMOs as key development agents within the contemporary context of destinations in England. Moreover, the study is informed by relevant performance management theories applied in wider private, public and non-profit organisational contexts. The principles of organisational effectiveness in this study are examined by a synthesis of multiple theoretical lenses: goal theory, stakeholder theory and competing values approach. Particular emphasis is placed on existing theory and practice of evaluating organisational effectiveness in the context of small and medium organisations, as well as development agencies, as they are pertinent to the organisational nature of DMOs. The study’s research design is underpinned by an interpretive social sciences paradigm and employs a qualitative methodology. A total of twenty semi-structured interviews were conducted with senior DMO managers across England. Emphasis is on identifying senior DMO managers’ perspectives on the concept of effectiveness and organisational performance. Furthermore, the interviews focus on exploring the key determinants of DMO performance evaluation. The thematic analysis and critical discussion of DMO managers’ views with the relevant literature has led to relevant conclusions that informed the performance evaluation framework as presented in the final chapter of the thesis. The theoretical contributions of the study include the identification of key performance perspectives that enable the comprehensive evaluation of operational effectiveness and strategic impact of DMOs. The findings of this study suggest that DMO effectiveness is defined by the organisation’s rationale for existence and non-profit strategic impetus, which includes supporting the visitor economy by means of strategic value creation and co-creation, strategic leadership for tourism development, and advancing the collaborative governance structures for tourism development. The study ascertains that several features of the specific destination context determine the complexity of destination development and…

▼ The purpose of this study is to interrogate how the official tourism websites of Jakarta, represent the tourism and culture of Jakarta; and to understand how those tourism discourses form a part of wider social processes, and social practices. The investigation uses Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to examine the contents of both texts and visual images, and interpret how they reflect Jakarta’s tourist resources. Societal analysis focuses on explanations of social discourses surrounding interpretations of the data. The study found through the visual images and the texts, that Jakarta was represented as both traditional and modern. Several concepts drawn from the postcolonial literature were used to explore the traditional and modern representation of Jakarta namely exoticism, cultural hybridity and mimicry, primitivism, and authenticity. In addition, notions of self-Orientalism and issues of gender emerged in the analysis of these representations. The exoticisation of Jakarta was represented in the content, structure and practice of traditional foods; traditional clothing of Jakarta; in the traditional dances of Jakartans, and the traditional street theatre. Cultural hybridity was relevant in that those traditional performing arts were influenced by Chinese and European cultures. The representation of native people on Jakarta’s websites related to the concept of primitivism. The concept of authenticity was problematised for example in the representation of the Selamat Datang monument, the patung Pancoran, and the National monument as authentic city properties. The concept of self-Orientalism was applied here, where Jakartan females were represented iii as inferior and in dependent relationships with men, confirming Orientalist stereotypes of Asian women. The study also found the concept of cultural mimicry and hybridity in the representation of Jakarta as modern, such as shopping malls, amusement parks, and spa treatments. From the discussion, there were also some wider social issues which arose from the representation of traditional elements of Jakarta’s culture. That is, to meet tourists’ needs the originality of the traditional foods of Jakarta, such as Kerak Telor was changed. Similarly, the effects of Ondel-ondel or traditional street theatre of Jakarta being used to meet the tourists’ demands, is over exploitation. However, the study revealed that there was no significant social impact of the representation of Jakarta as modern. Another important finding emerging from the study is that the official websites are more powerful compared to other online forms of information about a destination. It was because the official website is government owned, so, it appears to be credible; it also allowed the Tourism Board to use several techniques to represent the destination, such as the use of the story telling method and multimodal discourses, such as texts, photos, videos, or logos.

M.A.

Integrated marketing communications has developed . in response to the fragmentation of old rules and realities within global marketing. Client sovereignty rules the marketplace of the nineties and coupled with this, we are entering into an information era where technology is the buzz word. The need for dialogue between organisations and their customers, in order to realise customer needs, resulted in the development of relationship marketing. Through this, organisations created added-value for their products and services to establish product differentiation within a product parity environment. One of the best means whereby an organisation can create product differentiation and positioning, is by establishing perceived service quality. South Africa wants to ensure a more stable economy. For this reason the successful functioning of the tourism industry in South Africa is of the utmost importance in order to stimulate the influx of foreign exchange and to create more job opportunities. The best way to create this is to institute a more sensitive service orientation and therefore this study examines the client services of the South-African tourism industry, with specific reference to the Kruger National Park. Due to the technology explosion and the information era that currently being experienced, terms such as niche marketing and mass-customisation are of paramount importance. Customers personal needs are being recorded and their products and services designed accordingly. This progression produced a strong competitive edge for organisations because of the higher perceived service quality. An organisation's quality image is the function of its ability to consistently meet or conform with their customer's expectations. Consistent quality could lead to customer loyalty that is essential for a service suppliers long-term profitability and survival. For the purposes of this study the SERVQUAL-instrument was used, to measure service quality. Although there are various other instruments to measure service quality, the author noticed that the complexity of the term service quality is causing a lot of problems and many a researcher is still struggling to conceptualise and operationalise it. In the search for the best suited measuringinstrument, the researcher realised the importance of defining service quality in the most understanding and measurable ways possible. Considering this knowledge the author is of the opinion that the SERVQUAL-instrument would describe service quality the best within this context. Within the context of this study the SERVQUAL was used to determine the service quality of the Kruger National Park as perceived by their foreign visitors. The results of the research suggested that die service quality of the Kruger National Park did not meet their customer's expectations.

▼ Geographical features and cultural traits may influence the character of big-mountain tourism in Alaska. For example, Alaska's wild landscape, rich climbing and skiing history, and cultural mythos of wilderness and frontier fostered its status as a major destination for niche big-mountain tourism. Growth in the industry since the 1980s has been phenomenal, though a change threatens the identity of mountain guides of the region, demanding they accept international standards for their self-regulating and uniquely Alaskan version of big-mountain tourism. This research project explored big-mountain niche tourism in Alaska, considering the influences of wilderness and frontier concepts on the tourism culture and examining guides' and clients' motivations for participation in the industry. I queried clients and guides at two guiding services, the Alaska Mountaineering School and its Denali mountain climbers, and Alaska Powder Descents and its Coast mountain heli-skiers. The quantitative client survey assessed participant motivations for engaging in big-mountain tourism, for hiring a guide, and for travelling to engage in mountain tourism. The qualitative guide interview asked guides their motivations for working in big-mountain tourism, their experience with the management of big-mountain risk, and changes they had observed over time in the industry. I am a professional mountain guide and instructor in Alaska and use this experience as a third data point. The findings showed that Alaska's big-mountain tourism offers individuals a transcendental, sublime, yet physical encounter, one that is part of a globalized political and economic system. Except for the guides themselves, the high mountains are generally accessible only to those who are at the high end of the socioeconomic spectrum. Gender is also a defining characteristic of the industry, as the guiding ranks and the clientele in Alaska's big-mountain tourism are overwhelmingly male. For guides, the frontier mythos of intrepid and rugged individualism is a powerful motivator, an identity construction that relates well with the depictions of the region in early literature, and in images promoted by the tourism industry. Clients on the other hand may come to Alaska because it is geographically exceptional, but they are not as enamored of the frontier ideology that resonates so deeply with many permanent residents.

This research attempts to study principles and reasons for formation of crises newlineand conflicts which had great influences in lack of development in ECO region newlineincluding the case of development in tourism. It also tries to observe attitudes and newlineroles of different foreign powers in this backwardness and lack of development. newlineEventually, through studying and analyzing the current situation, it tries to suggest newlinesolutions to overcome the problems and for improving development of Tourism. newlineIn order to meet its objectives, this research has been divided into seven newlinechapters. On this basis, in the first chapter which includes Introduction of research, newlinethe main structure of thesis is discussed. According to this theoretical introduction and newlineconsidering the subject of research, it was decided to mention the background of newlinetourist industry, definition of tourism and also introduction of different branches of newlinetourism. newlineThe third chapter deals with the region that is studied. This region which today newlinecovers ten countries namely Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Iran, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, newlineTajikistan, Turkmenistan, Turkey, Kirgizstan and Kazakhstan includes a very newlineimportant part of the world which is significant in many different aspects. Existence newlineof great sources of energy, strategic location, high population, vast territory, various newlineclimates and existence of different nations, etc. are elements that attract any specialist. newlineChapter four of this study deals with studying political structure of countries in ECO newlineregion. Hence, it was necessary to have a look at theories of formation of government newlineand their governing methods from earlier periods until now. These theories and newlinegoverning methods are products and results of natural and political geography in any newlineregion and governments of any region contain one or some features of these theories. newlineCountries of ECO region are also followers of these principles.

▼ It appears that much information in terms of communication, advertising and marketing about tourism in Zambia has focused mainly on Livingstone, particularly the Victoria Falls. Even though Lusaka has one of the highest concentrations of touristic and heritage sites in Zambia, it has received very little attention. The tourism sector has seemingly not done well in exposing and advertising most of the heritage and monuments and is currently under-performing. Based on agenda setting, communication and knowledge gap theories, this study was carried out to investigate communication strategies on tourist attractions and historical heritage sites in Lusaka. From this study, it tried to establish dissemination, consumption and tourism communications on tourist attractions and other heritage sites in Lusaka. It was divided into 4 parts namely questionnaire survey involving 150 respondents, direct observation and physical visits of 5 tourist and heritage sites, in-depth interviews with 5 key informants and document review. A multi-stage cluster sampling design was employed for high, medium, and low communities represented by Matero, Libala and Roma, respectively. Simple random sampling was done for direct observation of heritage sites was established that even though efforts were being made to communicate tourism information through electronic and print media, communication strategies of government line ministries, agencies and commissions are out-dated, inadequate or absent. There was poor knowledge and consumption of the local touristic scene by respondents which may partly be explained by reduced interest by consumers, and lack of information and understanding of the touristic potential in Lusaka. Secondly, there was disconnecting between the expectations of disseminators of information and the consumers arising from a weak and disjointed communication strategy by many stakeholders. In conclusion, to offer an effectively and efficient communication for tourism development in Lusaka, the key players must facilitate different levels of user engagement that promotes more community outreach activities and involvement of different age groups.

peer-reviewed

Tourism plays an important role in many countries around the globe by creating foreign exchange and generating employment, and by contributing to a more balanced spread of economic activity in areas with few alternative economic opportunities. Considering this importance, the continuous growth of the sector and the increasingly competitive environment, accurate tourism statistics are vital. While there is a general agreement that the tourism statistics are suboptimal due to inappropriate data collected, little research has been conducted into investigating new ways to gather more accurate data to describe tourist behaviour. Currently most expenditure data is collected through exitsurveys, which leads to too much data-aggregation and there are also concerns regarding the quality because recall error can alter the accuracy. The diary method is well known as a tool for data-collection in many areas outside tourism-research, and has been proven to deliver more detailed and more accurate data. This thesis will investigate the use of the diary method in tourism, explore its applicability and show in a case-study how the better quality of data can be applied to gain new insights into tourist-behaviour, e.g. adding temporal and geographical dimensions to expenditure analysis. The case study analyses the spending behaviour of a specific tourist market and illustrates at the same time the innovative features of the diary method. The study reveals that the concerns surrounding the diary approach are generally unfounded. The issues that arise e.g. conditioning effect or low response rates, are less of a problem than recall error and in addition there are many corrective measures that researchers can use to avoid the consequences. Using a unique dataset comprising of 297 diary questionnaires, the expenditure analysis revealed links between the spending and different socio-demographic and trip-related characteristics of tourists. In addition, since diaries give a temporal and geographical dimension to the data, it is possible to investigate the variations in spending over the days of the trip and the mobility of tourists and their level of spending in specific areas. The study shows, for the first time, that although the level of spending for different cohorts significantly differs, the expenditure trajectory follows a general pattern regardless of the tourist group under study.

▼ The research problem in this study was that despite being the oldest, largest with highest diversities of wildlife and the most conveniently located park in the country, the Kafue National park remains fourth in revenue generation to the smaller parks of South Luangwa, Mosi-oa-Tunya and Lower Zambezi. The main objective of the study was to establish the factors that have limited tourism development in the Kafue National Park. A number of methods and procedures were used in the study to achieve the objective. Firstly, a case study design focussing on Kafue National Park was employed. Two sampling design methods used were purposive and ratified random sampling. The sample size was 75 composing 25 tour operators, 35 tourists and 15 ZAWA general employees (KNP revenue officers). The study also involved 19 key informants drawn from ZAWA management, local administrators, political and traditional leaders. Both secondary and primary sources of data were used in the study. Secondary and data from key informants was analysed manually using context analysis and statistical package for social sciences (SPPSS) was used to analyse the structured questionnaires for the 75 respondents.The findings of the study indicated park management constraints of poor infrastructure which included insufficiently developed and maintained roads, airfields, staff accommodation and office structures, low quality and quantity of lodging facilities as having negatively affected tourism development in Kafue National Park. There were also inadequate tourist attractions, services or products coupled with low staffing levels and skills with poor employment conditions. Others were increased incidences and reports of poaching activities, inadequate publicity and non participation of local communities in tourism consumption and management. The study concluded that the park management constraints identified stifled tourism development and revenue generation in Kafue National Park and that there should be improvements in the management and resource provisions to uplift the park for economic development at both local and national levels.

▼ Enhancing cultural content as the core element, cultural tourism, emphasizing on providing in-depth experience of tourism, has increasingly become an important trend in recent years. As a historical city in Taiwan, Tainan City, with its advantage of a number of various cultural heritage sites closely related to the historical and social change in Taiwan history, would intensely integrate resources of historical preservation and city culture to reach the goal of culture tourism. It is critical to develop the local distinctive products, provide in-depth experience of tourism, enhance the relationship of tourism and the destination, and enrich goals of cultural tourism. This research would attempt to discover the situation, which resources are adopted as well as operated, from three aspects of governmental, non-profit and commercial sectors, and to make further suggestions for resource management and product planning for cultural tourism. A case study is chosen as research methodology. This research would focus on the review and discussion of development and possibility of cultural tourism resources in the so-call cultural capital, the downtown area of Tainan City. Research data are mainly acquired via the approach of document analysis, observation and interview, reviewing from the three aspects of governmental, non-profit, and commercial sectors. Research questions are as followed: 1. What is the supply of cultural tourism in the downtown area of Tainan city? And what has been done from the three sectors? 2. What kind cultural tourism products and experienced products are developed in the downtown area of Tainan city? 3. Regarding to management of cultural tourism resources, what had been made in its authenticity, sustainability, and community participation in the downtown area of Tainan city? The conclusions of this research are as followed: 1. Regarding to the tourism supply in the downtown area of Tainan city, cultural tourism resources have been categorized into three aspects: history, humanity and life attitude, while transportation has been evaluated as the most disadvantage part, and a platform for tourism information interchange was expected to be established. 2. Among the three sectors regarding to the development of cultural tourism, the governmental sector is to be responsible for the resources integration, and non-profit sector plays the role as advising and an example of public sector. The commercial sector would pay more attention upon a closer linkage of cultural tourism products and the culture elements of the city. 3. For the development of cultural tourism product, more focus would emphasize on the concept of cultural route or themed program; site-specific theatre production, considered as a potential product, takes the advantage of historical and cultural feature of the downtown area of Tainan City. The passage of core culture through the traditional folk festivals and events has become a crucial issue. 4. Among the souvenirs, the creative products selected from the Bureau of Cultural Affairs and… Advisors/Committee Members: Liu, Yi-De (chair), Shang-ying Chen (committee member), Jung-feng Hsieh (chair).
