Map of brazilian tourism – Analysis of the criteria to include the municipality of Casserengue-PB

Tourism in Paraíba represents a potentiality, portrayed in natural attractions, strong cultural identity, relevant material and intangible heritage, as well as a hospitable and supportive people. But this tourism needs to be disseminated and promoted with emphasis on the appreciation and creativity of regional and local tourism. Given this context, it is proposed as a general objective to present a proposal for integrated tourism planning, participatory management and encourage the insertion of the municipality of Casserengue in the Brazilian Tourism Map. Data collection was bibliographic and through field research, from May to November 2020, with updates from January to April 2022. As a result, it was found that the insertion of the municipality in the Brazilian Tourism Map enables integrated planning and participatory management, as well as the development of an action plan for municipal management for the benefit of society. Therefore, the tourism planning proposed for Casserengue suggests a restructuring of infrastructure, public policies, as well as the valorization of local labor to offer quality tourism services or products and provide the economic and social development of the municipality.

The potential of Jakarta-Surabaya high-speed rail in developing tourism: Learning from Japan

The Shinkansen is the fastest bullet train in Japan. Shinkansen greatly improve the tourism economy in some cities in Japan. Shinkansen is extremely handy for foreign visitors and reduces the cost of visiting numerous places in Japan. As is known, MRT in Jakarta is one of the collaborative projects between Japan and Indonesia. Indonesia also has a 'semi-fast' train that travels between Jakarta and Surabaya at 140-145 km/hour. Learning from the Shinkansen in Japan, the Indonesian Semi-High-Speed Train also has the potential to increase the tourism sites in Indonesia with the help of a 'push and pull strategy.' This case study used interviews and literature reviews for data collection. In this study, after data was collected, it was used to analyse the mode of transportation for tourism destinations and the marketing strategy that can be used for this research. The result of this study is that Indonesia can also imitate the implementation of tour packages from Japan's railway and tourism system. Shinkansen connects tourist destinations in various cities (intercity), and it is hoped that the semi-fast train built by the Indonesian government can do the same thing. Railways as tourism transport are only one thing in developing tourist destinations. The other thing is, of course, related to integrated tourism planning

Digital Tourism e Reti locali: nuovi modelli e percorsi di valorizzazione turistica integrata. Il caso dell’Irpinia

The article deals the topic of digital tourism, concentrating on the new interaction trends among territories, technologies and communities in a tourism context, in other words how tourism information, which is the basis of the image and tourist attraction of a location and therefore of competiveness, is created increasingly by the interaction between territory and the tourism community in an era of digital communication and social networks. Beginning with the changes caused by the application of new technologies and digital innovations to tourism practices, from the viewpoint of both demand and offer, which the literature quoted provides an accurate summary of, we aim to provide a detailed examination of the models and methods of integrated tourism planning that may derive from these changes, especially for destination which, although without major tourist attractions, have in the identity of the territory the critical factors for success capable of responding to a new demand for experiential, authentic, plural and community tourism. In terms of the methodology used, the theoretical examination of the reasoning behind the topics specifically dealt with is supplemented by the presentation of an especially significant experience of applied geographical research and tourism planning, the Irpinia case, as an example of an innovative model in terms of understanding the value of the network (local and virtual) and the digital technologies in the processes of integrated tourism planning for lesser tourist attractions.

Tourism and Patrimony in the Old Damascus, “Problems and Future Prospects”

This paper aimed at opening discussions concerning new strategy of integrating tourist planning based on improving the various competitive skills of the Old Damascus that are the valley, mountain, and the marine space, to reach a sustainable tourist industry which will be a basic foundation for the economic sector.

Tourism and public health: An integrated model for sustainable community development: Case study of Romania: Turda

Communities suffering from bankrupt industries often struggle in meeting the health needs of their population. In Romania, the older population still remains attached to the traditional spa tourism to meet their needs of relaxation and health cure. This paper uses Turda Salt Mine, a recently modernized site in Romania located in an area widely recognized for industrial pollution prior to '89. An exploratory, qualitative heuristic methodology was used to identify possible emerging patterns in the way post-communist local governments have engaged with the local social capital in designing sustainable integrated tourism planning and development. Findings suggest that the local population is neglected in the distribution of eco­nomic and health benefits, while carrying the environmental costs of increasing tourist num­bers visiting the facility. In addition, there seems to be an overall pessimist view of the rela­tionship between the local community and state representatives in terms of civil engagement and genuine interest to achieve one of the major objectives of the European investment: serve the public domain. The authors propose a model of integrated development based on four pillars (Academic, Health, Business and, Social, Cultural and Natural Heritage) to enhance the well-being of the local communities where resources are available.

Advocating community participation and integrated tourism development planning in local destinations: The case of South Africa

Abstract The processes of community participation and integrated tourism development planning can often be uncoordinated, fragmented and hindered by operational, structural and cultural limitations. Although these processes are usually more sophisticated in developed countries, some important lessons can be learned from their use in less-developed countries like South Africa. As part of their commitment towards a more democratic South Africa and their voluntary obligations towards Local Agenda 21, the national government has embarked on a process through which they aspire to improve decision-making and thereby achieve more integrated tourism development at a local level. This regional spotlight takes a closer look at the processes being legislated and implemented by South Africa to ensure community participation and integrated tourism planning takes place in a coordinated and inclusive way. The case provides valuable insights to practitioners and academics that are engaging in community participation and integrated tourism development planning.

Landscape conservation and valorization by satellite imagery and historic maps. The case of Italian transhumance routes

In order to verify the potential use of old transhumance routes as tourist resource, the paper intends to illustrate a methodology to assess their conservation state, both in terms of track accessibility and viability, as well as in terms of heritage presence, and shows the results of a survey conducted on the Castel di Sangro—Lucera route (Molise region, Southern Italy). The methodology proposed represents a first step for integrated tourism planning as to the old transhumance routes in Southern Italy, starting from the digitization of the Custom Office historic maps and continuing on through an urgently needed program of conservation and restoration of the tracks supported by cartography and satellite imagery techniques.

Tourism development and planning: The Case of Kalkan, Antalya, Turkey

This paper uses findings from research undertaken in 2005 by the author and two colleagues to discuss the shift from a comprehensive-holistic and integrated tourism planning to a market-oriented and ad hoc mode. It also discusses the implications of weak local policies in the absence of comprehensive and integrative regional planning frameworks. The original research was on the development and conservation problems experienced in the small tourism town of Kalkan in Turkey after changes to the legal system abolishing certain restrictions on foreign purchases of real estate. The researchers conducted a rapid assessment of the problems and issues and made recommendations for the local development and conservation of historical and natural sites. The report containing recommendations was prepared following a formal request from one of the non-governmental organizations in Kalkan. Thus, the selection of Kalkan was not a matter of considered academic choice. That said, the situation in Kalkan to a certain extent offers a good example of local sensitivity and concern regarding macro-economic policies decided at a national scale. At the time of writing, the report was the first written text reporting on local impacts of market liberalization and deregulation in the real estate sector.
