Regional tourism infrastructure development in the state strategies

Purposeful and reasonable state vision of the long-term tourism development strategy determines the success of a country in the world market of tourist services. Many countries have officially approved program documents that clearly outline the main goals and objectives of the state policy in the sphere of tourism, highlighting the resource potential, recreational infrastructure and preferred consumer markets, but there may be no idea of respecting the interests of domestic consumers. The maintenance of local tourism infrastructure is becoming an increasingly important prerequisite for the country’s competitiveness, as mass tourism is now replaced by individual travels. The article is aimed at studying the dependencies between the main macroeconomic indicators of the tourism industry, assessing the efficiency of foreign trade. The correlation-regression and cluster analysis has been used in order to confirm or refute the hypothesis if the effectiveness of the state support of the national tourism industry is dependent on the stable functioning of the domestic tourism market, e.g. stimulation of travels by residents. Based on the main macroeconomic indicators of the tourism industry for 136 countries of the world and overview of some national tourism development program, the analysis output has rejected the direct correlation between the support of the domestic market and export potential of the national tourism industry, but has proved the significance of the inner consumer power during the periods of downturns in the global economy for strengthening the country’s export potential.

This inevitably leads to a decrease in the number of international tourist arrivals and revenues from tourism, a decrease in the number of tourist objects and collective accommodation facilities. It has been determined that the tourist attractiveness and image of the eastern region was almost lost as a result of the conflict. The main provisions, the actual material and conclusions of the article can be used for further research on the development of tourism in the Donbas and the creation of a concept for overcoming the negative consequences of the conflict in the period of 2014-2018 in Ukraine for the development of the national tourism industry.

Domestic Tourism in Russian Federation: Population Estimations, Resources and Development Constraints

Russia is the country of contrasts, the country with a great tourist and recreational potential and rich cultural and historical heritage, but the domestic tourism figures are relatively low. In this regard, according to the authors' opinion, the study of factors that prevent the development of territory tourist attractiveness by the analysis of social expectations, preferences and the satisfaction of tourists with proposed domestic market of tourist services is very important one. The empirical base was represented by the results of the study conducted by All-Russian Council of Local Self-Government (with the participation of authors) in order to analyze the tendencies of tourist and cultural potential development in respect of Federation municipal entities and the determination of limiting factors in the activities of local authorities. The sample consisted of 514 experts (heads of local authorities from Federation municipal bodies). There was also a sociological study conducted by the team of authors in the municipal districts of Moscow region, during which 680 people were interviewed. Questionnaire survey was the leading research method. The performed study and the analysis of tourism industry development factors allowed to determine a number of problems that hinder the development of domestic tourism in Federation: an underdeveloped tourist infrastructure, a poor quality of service (unprofessional staff), weak promotion of a national tourist product and area image, the absence of national tourism industry promotion, the lack of effective mechanisms for investment climate state stimulation in tourism industry. Expert survey results showed that infrastructure problems become the main reason for territory competitiveness reduction within the tourist market for most municipalities in present conditions. In order to address the identified problems related to the lack of funding or the absence of finance in municipalities, the authors propose and justify the introduction of local tourist taxes. The solution of the problem concerning an insufficient level of information and advertising support for the local tourism potential and the promotion of domestic tourism product is considered by the authors as the development of an interactive general Russian Federation tourist map published in Internet.

Landscapes Lost? Tourist Understandings of Changing Norwegian Rural Landscapes

Rural landscapes are the product of consumption for increasing numbers of tourists from urban areas. Many Nordic rural landscapes face a situation called spontaneous reforestation: as mowing and grazing have almost come to an end, scrub and trees thrive. The national tourism industry is concerned, leaning on the assumption that well-managed agricultural landscapes are central to Norway's touristic appeal. This article seeks to investigate how tourists understand and make sense of the landscapes they visit. It presents findings from qualitative interviews with 75 domestic and international tourists, conducted in three different study areas in Norway that are prone to spontaneous reforestation. The tourists were asked to describe the surrounding landscape and to reflect upon the meaning of the landscape and the different landscape elements. Manipulated photos of the past and probable future development were brought into the interview to aid reflection. A main finding is that landscape elements that the tourists perceive as threatened seem to be preferred over those experienced as plentiful. Another important finding is how the tourists in our study in different ways tend to make sense of the landscapes they visit through their understanding of their known landscapes. Lastly, we find that understandings of landscape change processes are embedded into wider discourses of nature and culture.

Domestic Tourism Development in Asir Region, Saudi Arabia

Domestic tourism is supposed to compose the largest and most unaddressed proportion of the tourism ‘iceberg’, but has been overshadowed by the interest in international tourism on behalf of academics and policy makers. Unlike international tourism which depends greatly on global systems and mega-infrastructure, domestic tourism deems to have evolved and sustained itself in the absence of heavy investments and commercialization. It has also been suggested as an appropriate substitute to international tourism under the influence of external factors such as disasters and crises. In tourism studies, not many researchers have engaged themselves in the topic of domestic tourism in the Middle-east region especially in Saudi Arabia. The focus on domestic tourism is important in Saudi Arabia as the country is one of the biggest exporters of tourists going out of the kingdom, and the government is trying to retain a larger portion of tourism spending of its local tourists in the national tourism industry. In view of this, this paper attempts to discuss the potentials and challenges of developing domestic tourism in the Asir region, which is situated in the southwestern part of Saudi Arabia. The analysis is based on secondary data and supported by interviews with twelve tourism operators and hoteliers in the region. The findings revealed that Asir region is a unique tourist destination and has considerable unrealized potential, however, the growth of domestic tourism requires diversification in terms of product, market and geographical areas. As tourism development is a comprehensive undertaking involving many sectors and stakeholders, it is crucial for the government to come up with multi-hierarchical, all-inclusive and coordinated development strategy, and these are the challenges to which the country’s tourism industry should respond to promote domestic tourism.

West Yorkshire's Sporting Heroes

This article attempts to offer an insight into the benefits of merging sport and heritage work, through the experiences of the Sporting Heroes project being delivered by the West Yorkshire Archive Service. This summer, the Olympic and Paralympic Games will open in London before millions of spectators across the globe. There is no doubting the opportunities for raising and improving the national profile and London tourism industry, and also increasing local jobs, housing and business trade through the Olympic site alone. However, the wider question being addressed here is how the rest of the UK can take advantage of the once-in-a-lifetime event coming to these shores, in particular the heritage sector, to create a legacy of sporting archival collections (mostly in digital format) and stronger, broader means of partnership-working. To add an alternative angle to this discussion, it considers whether the phenomenon of the London 2012 Games has in fact been such a driving force behind the emergence of sports heritage projects and their potentially successful outcomes.

Market segmentation and the changing South African hotel industry (1990 to 2010)

Market segmentation is an expanding focus in tourism scholarship. Only limited application of this concept has been undertaken to interpret hotel business development, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. This article shows that in South Africa, one of Africa’s leading tourism destinations, market segmentation has been a distinguishing feature of the country’s hotel sector especially over the past 20 years. It is argued that as post-apartheid South Africa shed its international pariah status and emerged as a new destination in the international tourism economy, the national tourism industry experienced a phase of considerable restructuring. The growth and subsequent acceleration of market segmentation in South Africa’s hotel industry is one outcome of the country’s reintegration into the global tourism economy which facilitated a range of new upgrading opportunities for business development and property investment. Key words: Hotels, segmentation, South Africa, tourism.
