Exploring Stakeholder perspectives in protected areas and gateway communities: the case of aviation tourism growth in the Alaska Range

ABSTRACT As the primary method of accessing the south side of the Alaska Range, aviation plays a critical role in providing visitor access to some of the most spectacular regions of Denali National Park and Preserve. In recent years, flightseeing and glacier-landing tourism in Denali has grown considerably, bringing with it several benefits, impacts, and challenges being felt both within the national park and in the gateway community of Talkeetna, Alaska. This paper seeks to integrate sustainable tourism planning, stakeholder perspectives, and national park management using Talkeetna and Denali as a case study. Specifically, this research uses qualitative methods to document stakeholder-identified impacts of the growth in aviation tourism and considers local perspectives of tourism planning and management challenges. Results indicate that the impacts of growth in aviation tourism are being felt both within and outside the boundaries of the national park, demonstrating the need to consider the broader context of the complex tourism system affected by growth in aviation in the region. Findings also reveal that local stakeholders perceive several administrative challenges affecting the ability of the National Park Service to effectively manage impacts of aviation tourism, offering important insight into regional-scale tourism administration and potential future park management decisions.

항공관광 관련 전공 대학생들의 직업이미지와 직업가치관이 취업준비행동에 미치는 영향

The global economy has never faced a challenge like the recent outbreak of COVID-19. As a result, most service-related industries, including domestic and international airlines and hotels, have stopped hiring new employees, increasing the Employment stress level of university students studying fields related to the hospitality and airline industry. This study aims to analyze the correlates of both job image and occupational values among university students who major in the disciplines relevant to aviation tourism and examine their impact on the students’ employment preparation behavior. The results of this study is that the job image has a positive and statistically significant influence on occupational values and that the job image does not have any statistically significant association with employment preparation behavior, either preliminary or full-scale preparation behavior. The analysis also shows that occupational values have a significant positive impact not only on the preliminary preparation behavior but also on the active employment preparation behavior. Based on the analysis of the survey, this paper provides the foundation for strengthening the employment preparation behavior by emphasizing a clear understanding of the job features, appropriate occupational image, and proper work values.

A preliminary study on the potential spaceports for suborbital space tourism and intercontinental point-to-point transportation in Taiwan

Taiwan would not develop reusable suborbital launch vehicle (RSLV) for commercial suborbital space tourism (SST) and intercontinental point-to-point (IP2P) transportation industry. As such, although there are many issues need be considered, spaceport becomes one of the major indices for demonstrating Taiwan's infrastructures and readiness to go from aviation tourism to SST and IP2P due to its long leading time requirement (2–3 decades usually). Currently, there are 17 civic (single use) and civic and military (dual use) airports, of which 4 are civic and one is basically civic. In this paper, these 5 airports were studied and discussed on their potential to be extended to either single use spaceport or dual use air and spaceport from the aspects of area, busyness, required extension (minor or major), redesign and reconstruction requirements, and environmental reassessment requirements. For the 5 airports included in the considerations, the 4 airports Taoyuan, Kaohsiung, Songshan and Kinmen all need minor extensions for accommodating horizontal-takeoff-horizontal-landing (HTHL) RSLV. Only the Taoyuan and Kinmen airports are suitable for major extensions to also accommodate vertical-takeoff-vertical-landing (VTVL) RSLV after major extensions. The Hengchun Airport needs environmental reassessment, redesign and reconstruction due to its very local katabatic winds weather condition. However, it is also the only one suitable for extending to become a dedicated spaceport with HTHL and VTVL RSLVs accommodated. For comparison purpose, a new spaceport dedicated to SST and IP2P with the name to be determined (TBD) is proposed as an option. For the case of considering dedicated uses for SST and IP2P, then only Hengchun and TBD are the two remaining spaceport candidates.

From Space Tourism to Commercial Suborbital Travel

After several announcements last years, the recent successful flights with Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson as passengers have brought the space tourism topic back at the top of news headlines. Indeed, several projects have undergone incremental and careful development steps last years to ensure a sufficient reliability of such flights with passengers on board. The perfect re-entry of both the New Shepard system of Blue Origin and the Unity system of Virgin Orbit in July 2021 are now opening the path for commercial space tourism flights, with several hundreds of candidates having paid either substantial advance payments or even the total ticket price and a rising demand after these demonstrations. This evolution can be compared with the first flights in the aeronautical field starting in 1919, when, at the end of WW1, experienced pilots and proven (ex-military) planes were used to carry air tourists at short turn-around flights. This rapidly evolved a few years later in regular commercial Point-to-Point air traffic, with the first air connection Paris London Paris. We can easily forecast a similar evolution in suborbital transport of cargo and passengers after the first wave of space tourism. Similar as with the first aviation tourism, where passengers got a first sensation of flying and were then brought back to the starting point after a few minutes, suborbital space experience will soon evolve in so called pointto-point suborbital flights, covering intercontinental travel in 60-80 minutes in one go, which now takes up more than 21 hours, like a trip London-Sydney with one stopover. This article will focus on the feasibility of such development, focusing in the first place on the potential business case and the economic rationale. It will be demonstrated that for ‘time-poor, cash-rich’ people such suborbital intercontinental travel will be a viable option and a potential market.

From aviation tourism to suborbital space tourism: A study on passenger screening and business opportunities

Due to the significant amount of cost for privately paid passenger to travel the Earth orbit and beyond, orbital space tourism (OST) is not affordable for the general public in the coming decades. Therefore, the second best could be the suborbital space tourism (SST). According to the following facts, SST could be right at the corner: in October 2017, the Saudi Arabia intended to invest 1 billion USD into Virgin Galactic; on December 11, 2019, Blue Origin's New Shepard had a wholly successful 12th flight test mission (NS-12); and then on February 13, 2020, Virgin Galactic's spaceplane SpaceShipTwo, named VSS Unity, has been successfully relocated to its commercial headquarters at Spaceport America. Referring to the possible or potential effects of reusable suborbital launch vehicle (RSLV) trajectory dynamics on the neuro-vestibular system of passenger, this paper studied and discussed the pre-flight passenger screening contents and the related business opportunities for SST. Requirements for the third class medical certificate of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the USA have been proposed as a major reference. Since the SST is a new emerging market, contents for pre-flight screening of tourist need be rigorous, but could be adjustable based on accumulated flight experience in the future. The related business opportunities, either academic or commercial, in pre-flight training, pre-flight adaption, post-flight adaption, and data analysis, are expected to form a new industry chain gradually from 2020s to 2030s or 2040s.

Effects of career barriers on career self-efficacy and career preparation behavior among undergraduates majoring in aviation tourism

The purpose of this study was to investigate the causal relationships among career barriers, career self-efficacy, and career preparation behavior in South Korea. To conduct this study, four sub-dimensions of career barriers perceived by undergraduates majoring in aviation tourism were identified: lack of physical condition, financial difficulties, decision-making difficulties, and inadequate preparation. The results of this study show that lack of physical condition, decision-making difficulties, and inadequate preparation negatively affected career self-efficacy, whereas financial difficulties did not influence career self-efficacy. Career self-efficacy had a positive effect on career preparation behavior. Inadequate preparation also had a negative effect on career preparation behavior. Career self-efficacy had a mediating effect between career barriers (inadequate preparation) and career preparation behavior. The findings of the study provide academic and practical implications that can contribute to effective career guidance for aviation tourism undergraduates. Finally, this study also addresses limitations and makes suggestions for future studies.
