Landscape management and planning as a spatial organization method connecting CES supply-demand assessment and sustainable tourism development

Evaluating the balance between the supply and demand of Cultural Ecosystem Service (CES) in space is the key to linking ecosystem services to human well-being. However, due to its invisibility, it is difficult to quantify and is often ignored in ecosystem service evaluation. Based on social media photos, by integrating multisource data and using a clustering algorithm and the MaxEnt model, this paper maps and evaluates the supply-demand balance of three CES of aesthetic, historical and cultural, and leisure services in Suzhou, China. The result shows a widespread imbalance between supply and demand in Suzhou, among which the cultural heritage CES imbalance area as high as 48.1% accounts for the largest proportion, and the aesthetic imbalance area accounts for 38.4%, while the recreation imbalance area accounts for 37%. Building upon the assessment of supply and demand balance at the urban scale, we further identified the supply-demand imbalance at the scenic area scale by integrating local tourism development policies in Suzhou and selecting a typical scenic area, Xishan Island. Based on the urban and scenic area supply-demand assessment results, this paper proposes a multiscale CES supply-demand allocation strategy. This comprehensive approach not only furnishes valuable guidance for local decision-making and management within the realm of sustainable tourism but also holds potential for wider applicability to diverse urban areas worldwide that share analogous contextual backgrounds. Management implicationsCES supply and demand assessment can help identify the CES supply-demand imbalance areas of tourist destinations. Landscape management and planning is a spatial organization method to balance CES supply-demand mismatches in tourist destinations. Optimizing landscape structure at multiple scales will be of instructional significance for the protection and development of tourist destinations. A ‘CES assessment and mapping – landscape management and planning – tourism protection and development’ system is beneficial to achieve the sustainable development of tourism.

This study was undertaken in Tarangire national park northern Tanzania looking on local tourism development as literatures shows domestic visitors is growing slowly by 20.4% in 2022 from 14.1% on 2019 comparing to international visitors which rose by 81.9% in 2022 from 40.4% in 2019 visiting various tourist destinations in Tanzania. Therefore, the study aimed to examine the perception of local community on local tourism industry and investigating the socio-economic determinants of local tourism development in order to inform the best approaches to be used as a catalyst for local tourism development in Tanzania. The study adopted a mixed research design where quantitative and qualitative research approaches were used. Simple random and purposive sampling was used to select respondents for the study through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, observation and document review as methods used to collect data. A total of 134 respondents were involved in the study. Logistic regression was used to make analytical statistics for quantitative findings while content analysis was used for qualitative data. The findings revealed that, local visitors had a positive perception on visiting the tourist destinations of the country during their holidays for refreshment and learning new experiences on local tourism activities. The study revealed that, three out of eight socio-economic determinants which are income of the local tourist, promotion of tourist destination and accessibility of the tourist destinations are statistically significant at P< 0.05 with 95% confidence levels. Based on the findings, this study concludes that the will of local community to visit national parks is hindered by low income, low promotion coverage and poor park accessibility. Therefore, for domestic tourism to grow, the study recommends the authority to improve accessibilities whereby local tourist can get in using their own means of transport as to reduce cost of transport (hiring a tour guide truck). Also, Tanzania Tourist Board and other government agencies should strengthen its marketing strategies and dissemination of appropriate information through social Medias. Finally, the tourism stakeholders should create a mechanism that brings affordable price on tourism services especially accommodation and transport in tourist destinations of the country.

The International Publicity Translation of Culture-Loaded Words from the Perspective of Cultural Translation Theory

With the development of globalization, economic and political competition has become more and more fierce, and the collision of diverse cultures is equally intense. Film and television works play a vital role in exchanging diverse cultures of the world. Based on Basnett’s cultural translation theory, this article combines the corpus of the documentary Every Treasure Tells a Story and the Huashan Rock Art tourism propaganda texts. It studies the translation strategies and methods used in translating culture-loaded words for international publicity in order to attract more translators (including students majoring in translation) into the field of cultural heritage translation and help Chinese culture "going global". Meanwhile, it is beneficial to promote the development of local tourism and social economy with high quality.

The (COVID)-19 Pandemic in the Cyclades: Patterns and Prospects in Cultural Tourism

Until July 2021, the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic were severe for tourism-dependent countries, such as Greece, and particularly the Cyclades. The cultural sector and related activities, at the crux of Cycladic tourism industry, were especially hit by the pandemic. The rest of the 2021 tourist season, however, proved especially successful for Cycladic tourism, which poses the question of why and how a destination may survive–and even profit–from the pandemic. This article thus explores emerging Cyclades tourism patterns and prospects (in a case study of Andros, Syros, and Santorini), in the context of the anticipated postpandemic tourism regeneration. Methodologically, the study was based on: a) a series of in situ in-depth interviews with key informants, b) a questionnaire survey of tourists and related local businesses, and c) a focus group panel discussion with key local/regional stakeholders. The study was conducted between the fall of 2020 and spring of 2021, in the context of the SPOT HORIZON2020 EU project; the research design and data interpretation were enriched by participant observation and consultation of Trip Advisor websites. Findings show that the pandemic and its repercussions were grave for these islands, highly dependent on tourism based on a dominant small-and-medium enterprise tourism development model. Modes of travel, types of tourism, and visitors??? behavior were altogether affected, resulting in new patterns of (im)mobilities, while the role of culture was viewed as the destination???s “hope in the horizon” towards the reigniting and regeneration of smaller scale, creative, dispersed, and more sustainable tourism. However, great disparities also emerged between the current state and regenerative potential for local cultural tourism development. The study participants specifically emphasized that the private tourism sector had been left by the State to their own devices, and pointed to a lack of a) cultural infrastructure, b) public funding, and c) destination marketing/promotion.

Potential Tourism Attraction of Cokro Cave, Gunungkidul Regency as a Special Interest Tourism Development

Cave tracing activities have now become a special interest in tourist activities with kars cave as a tracing ground. One of the attractions is because of the physical shape of the cave or what is called (speleotherm). Speleotourism has a charm and experience that is different from other tourist destinations because not all regions in Indonesia have karst areas that are ideal to be developed as Speleo tourism areas, one of which is Gunungkidul Regency which has 5 caves which are geosites, one of which is Cokro Cave. Cokro Cave was first discovered by nature lovers from the Acintyacunyata Speleological Club (ASC) community in 1993, and in 2009 it began to develop into a tourist attraction managed directly by the local community. This study was conducted to explain how the development of special interest tourism occurred in the tourist attraction of Cokro Cave by utilizing the characteristics and uniqueness of the cave, but still paying attention to the preservation of the cave, as well as the role of local communities, government, and tourism development stakeholders. The concept of special interest tourism that can be applied in the Cokro Cave Area is the management of special interest tourism by limiting the number of visitors to maintain the preservation of the context and collaboration with tourist attractions around and with the Pokdarwis (Kelompok Sadar Wisata) management of the Cave Area. Referring to the six criteria of special interest tourism based on experts, it can be seen that the principles of special interest tourism have not been fully fulfilled in the tourist attraction of Cokro Cave, including no periodic studies on the condition of the cave, as well as monitoring the condition of the cave.

Kebijakan Pemerintah Kota Padang dalam Pengembangan Pariwisata Berbasis Kearifan Lokal

Padang city government policy in the development of local wisdom-based tourism is an effort to strengthen and promote local wisdom as the main attraction in tourism in the city of Padang. In this study, a qualitative approach was used with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and document studies. The results showed that the Padang city government policy in the development of tourism based on local wisdom has succeeded in increasing the number of tourists and tourism revenue in the city of Padang.

Measuring visitor flows using mobile positioning data in three Hungarian second-tier cities

PurposeThe research analyses the spatial-temporal behaviour of international visitors using mobile positioning data (MPD) in three second-tier cities in Hungary: Szeged, Debrecen and Pécs. The purpose of this study is to identify the origins of visitors, length of stay, seasonal concentrations and mobility between cities.Design/methodology/approachA large volume of data generated by foreign mobile phone users was processed and analysed for six consecutive months in 2018. The movements of around 3.5 million foreigners visiting Hungary were captured.FindingsThe data showed significant differences in tourist turnover, mobility patterns and flows indicating different levels of tourism activity and potential in the three cities. This included day trips, cross-border tourism, seasonal fluctuations and activity-driven demand (e.g. special events and cultural tourism).Research limitations/implicationsMPD cannot fully explain or predict drivers of visitor behaviour, such as purpose of visit, the precise activities that they undertake there and the experiences that they gain. It can, however, provide information on spatial and temporal flows, patterns and concentrations of visitors.Practical implicationsThe investigated cities should follow distinct tourism development policies to attract more tourists and strengthen the links with their neighbouring destinations at the same time as differentiating themselves through marketing as competitive alternative destinations.Social implicationsAugmenting tourism has socio-economic implications for residents and communities. The development of cultural tourism and local event-based tourism must incorporate community needs.Originality/valueThe paper analyses the extent to which MPD can provide insights into visitors’ spatio-temporal mobility and flows in relatively under-visited second-tier cities and it highlights opportunities and gaps for big data research in an urban context.

IMPACT OF ACADEMIC MOBILITY ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOCAL TOURISM: POLITICAL AND LEGAL ASPECTS

The national development strategy of Kazakhstan in higher education is aimed at the internationalization of higher education and entry into the global educational space. In this regard, the academic mobility of students and academic staff is widely supported by the state and higher education institutions. This article analyses the impact of academic mobility on local tourism. The analysis of the main strategic documents and the current legislation in the field of tourism and higher education was carried out. Also, the basis of the research work was the reports of international organizations and non-governmental organizations in the field of tourism and higher education, special reports of experts, and the results of the research work of scientists. As a result of the study, it was shown that the development of local tourism is supported by the state and legal opportunities are created. It has been established that the approval of special economic zones in priority areas proposed by the government of the Republic of Kazakhstan is an opportunity for the development of local tourism by strengthening academic mobility in certain regions of the country. It was assumed that the creation of international campuses in some regions of the country would play an important role in the development of tourism. As a result, proposals were made to develop tourist and historical monuments, and nature reserves in the regions of Kazakhstan, and improve the economy of the regions and the socio-educational and cultural status of the population. Based on these findings, it is shown that the main strategy and legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the field of tourism and higher education are formed correctly. However, it shows that active actions are required on the part of the executive authorities and higher education institutions in the implementation of legislation and state policy. In addition, it is expected that the results of this work will serve as a basis for researchers who conduct research on this topic.

THE PARTICIPATION OF BLACK HA NHI PEOPLE IN Y TY, LAO CAI PROVINCE FOR LOCAL SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT

From the application of theoretical issues about the local community in sustainable tourism development, the article analyzes and evaluates the role, level and form of participation of the local community – Black Ha Nhi people Y Ty in local sustainable tourism development. The studies show that at the Y Ty destination, the Black Ha Nhi have actively participated in the development of tourism in the locality. It can be said that they are the people who laid the foundation, pioneered and are an indispensable core component for local tourism activities. However, due to many different reasons (the economic conditions of the local community are still difficult, the level of awareness, especially awareness of knowledge, experience, and skills in tourism, etc.) is still limited. Their participation in tourism activities has not been highly effective. From there, the article proposes some recommendations to promote strengths and take advantage of opportunities; to limit weaknesses and challenges to promote more effectively the role of the Black Ha Nhi in particular, the local community in general, in the sustainable development of tourism in Y Ty.

Locals’ Perceptions Towards English For Local Tourism Industry

This research aims to study the locals’ perceptions towards English in association with the local tourism destination development. Since language and tourism are interwoven, the use of language is linked to the likelihood of its popularity or infamy. It is undeniable that Indonesia requires English in all tourism sectors. The problem is that Indonesian's English proficiency in general is still in the lowest position among the members of the MEA. This has become one of the obstacles to make local tourism sites more competitive in the international sphere. Recognizing the communities’ perceptions to English would be a meaningful step to advance the potentials of the local tourism destination. Therefore, two issues that this research is concerned about are: the locals’ perceptions and the problems that might pose if English were introduced. The descriptive qualitative method employed. This research is located in Langgher Dhatang, Dusun Pogag, Desa Palalang, Kec. Pakong, Kab. Pamekasan, Madura. We interviewed thirteen local people living around the location. The participants’ involvement decision was made based on the assumption that they will have a direct impact for its language planning. We designed a questionnaire in a Google Form to ask and marked the answers in accordance with the participants’ responses. The research shows various attitudes towards English: most of them (76,9%) believe that English is important for Langgher Dhatang. 15,4% of the participants who have no idea either English will have a positive impact or not for local tourism development. The rest (7,7%) sees that English is inconsequential to its promotion. The problems that could arise include a low level of motivation in learning (15,4%), a low level of education (69,2%), and the youth ignorance in tourism site development (7,7%).

대안적 문화체험 모델로서의 지방구술사 기반 관광에 대한 탐색적 연구

As in the industrialization era, capitalism dominates the world, people become interested in experiencing spatio-temporal entities that satisfy all human needs between marketability and publicity, visibility and invisibility, past and present, and authenticity and pseudo-events. This macroscopic shift in the social order has a great influence on people’s cultural experience in the region where they live. The ideological value that enables the convergent production and consumption system can be said to be the convergent self-regulation mechanism of modernism and postmodernism. Oral history research that leads the transboundary cultural experience has recently attracted attention throughout the social sciences that study convergent social order. In particular, local oral history helps us understand the phenomenon of reorganization of time and space that is the basis of human lifestyle in the terms of microscopic life in the community.The oral history of the local community, a combination of objective records and subjective memories, can be an objective and subjective new meta-knowledge that features self-construction of transboundary sign experience in the structure of human-society intimacy. Local history research through personal oral history is a so-called bottom-up historical approach and discusses how human behavioral characteristics change the appearance of social culture itself and how closely related they are to social systems. The development of local tourism based on local oral history as an alternative cultural experience model enables in-depth research on the interaction of the region, society, and culture. It also can serve as a major basis for the development of sustainable and systematic eco-friendly local tourism development.

Стратегирование развития туризма и индустрии гостеприимства Гурьевского муниципального округа Кузбасса

Tourism has become an important economy sector in many Russian regions. The Kemerovo Region has accepted the Strategy of Socio-Economic Development through 2035, hence the need to strategize the development of new tourist destinations. The research objective was to determine various strategic directions for the development of tourism and hospitality industry in the Guryevsk municipal district. The research relied on the strategizing methods developed by Professor Vladimir Kvint, Foreign Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, as well as on some general scientific research methods, e.g., abstract-logical, complexfactorial, economic-statistical, analogy, comparative and system analysis, etc. The study revealed a possibility of interregional clusters, national and business routes, environmental, medical and recreational cross-border and regional tourism, etc. The district has good industrial potential, combined with historical and cultural heritage. These strategic directions are able to fuel the local tourism and hospitality development. The authors believe that tourism is a key priority for Russian economy, as well as for the Kemerovo Region, where domestic tourism started to flourish during the COVID-19 pandemic. The region has extensive potential and opportunities to attract tourists, while its Guryevsk municipal district possesses all necessary prerequisites for the active development of tourism.
