Perception of Industrial Heritage Tourism Destination Image Based on Web Text Analysis: A Case Study of Beijing Shougang Park

With the transformation of China's economic structure, industrial heritage tourism has gradually become a new form of tourism. This paper uses Beijing Shougang Park as a case study. Utilizing Octopus software to collect reviews from Dazhong Dianping and Mafengwo, and employing ROST CM6 software, the paper analyzes tourists' image perceptions of Shougang Park based on the "Cognitive-Affective" model. The results indicate: Firstly,natural landscapes, cultural landscapes, and activity experiences are the basic cognitive images for tourists; Secondly, tourists generally have a positive emotional response to Shougang Park, with negative emotions primarily stemming from issues such as fees, holiday crowding, service attitude, and the park's large size; Thirdly, overall image perception mainly involves six aspects: tourism motivation, tourist attractions, tourism environment, tourism support system, tourism experience, and tourism evaluation. There is strong perception of natural and cultural landscapes, but weaker and more fragmented perception of historical culture. The study identifies problems in the scenic area and provides suggestions to offer effective practical guidance.

Experiential tourism and community narratives: Non-Tourist Guidebook of Ussita

In recent decades, experiential tourism studies have developed strongly within a transforming tourism development paradigm. The enhancement of the territory is more focused on its intangible resources, and experience becomes a strategic concern within a renewed way of practicing tourism where individuals look primarily for what to experience. Tourism becomes an opportunity to create and exchange experiences by challenging conventional tourism practices and advocating new value references and new forms of tourism including experiential tourism. This article will focus on the relationship between experiential tourism and community narratives: the Non tourism Project, and particularly the Non tourism Guidebook of Ussita, a small Italian municipality in an inland area and an earthquake victim, will be presented. Non tourism is a way of understanding the encounter between a community and those from outside: the non tourist seeks an intimate and authentic relationship with a territory and the community rediscovers its identity through a collective narrative. The paper aims to investigate whether community narratives can help transform tourism into an enriching and meaningful experience, creating deep bonds between tourists and the places they visit, promoting sustainability, and enhancing local cultural heritage. The non-tourist guide, as a result of the local community’s collective storytelling experience, brings tourists closer to experiential ways of visiting and has enabled the local community to rediscover its identity through the use of narrative practices. This article aims to highlight how non-tourist guides can also be a tool for dialogue between tourists and the community through the proposal of experiential itineraries. The experience of non-tourist guides is purely Italian and is at an early but interesting stage of diffusion, with volumes covering both urban contexts and smaller and inland territories. The article is the result of an initial exploratory work (Yin, 2017) that offered a preliminary understanding of the opportunity that non-tourist guides have to promote sustainability, enhancing local resources and offering significant benefits to both tourists and host communities.

Women Initiatives and Its Impact on Agro-Ecotourism Development in Rural Areas

In Indonesia, a new form of tourism called agro-ecotourism has emerged from rural agricultural activities. It holds great promise in conjunction with cultural and ecotourism. The participation of women in agro-ecotourism has had substantial impact on its development and socio-economic well-being. However, the societal expectations that limited women to the home have diminished their significance within it. This article analyzed the current status of agro-ecotourism in Sukowilangun village, Kalipare sub-district, Malang District, East Java. The focus was on identifying the factors that drove and hindered participation in tourism, with a particular emphasis on gender. This article also explored the role of local communities in the development of a gender-inclusive agro-ecotourism model. This study utilized a qualitative approach, incorporating in-depth interviews and Rapid Rural Appraisal (RRA) techniques. It was evident from the findings that, despite progress in the tourism sector, the current level of female involvement in tourism destinations remains unsatisfactory. It was discovered that Sukowilangun village has great potential for developing Agro-ecotourism centered around processed cassava. This initiative, led by The Perempuan Singkong, a collective of migrant women’s families, shows great promise as a source of income and a way to generate more community interest in tourism. Lastly, the development of a top-notch tourism destination necessitates the focus on three crucial aspects: establishment of proper institutions, investment in skilled personnel, and fostering women’s involvement. Through the promotion of gender equality and the inclusion of women in decision-making processes, tourism destinations foster a more diverse and inclusive environment that brings benefits to all. Keywords: Agro-ecotourism; Community-based; Institutionalization; Women- participation

Study on the Geographical Spatial Characteristics of Forest Health Resorts in Fujian Province, China

Forest health tourism is an increasingly popular new form of tourism. Fujian Province, with its abundant forest resources, ranks among the top provinces in China in terms of forest coverage and holds significant development potential. The study focuses on 80 provincial-level forest health resorts in Fujian Province, China. Software such as the ArcGIS geographic information system is used to analyze the resorts’ nearest neighbor index, geographic concentration index, kernel density, etc., thus indicating their spatial distribution characteristics. Overlay analysis, correlation analysis, and fitting analysis are employed to explore the spatial distribution specificity and its influencing factors. The research results indicate that forest health resorts in the area exhibit an aggregated distribution with a higher overall concentration. They are influenced by factors such as the distribution of river systems, the accessibility of transportation, distance to central cities, and socio-economic conditions. The geographic concentration index (G) is 50.28 and the unevenness index (S) is 0.640, both indicating that the forest health resorts in Fujian Province demonstrate a distribution pattern of “overall dispersion with multiple core aggregations”. Based on the research findings, the article puts forward some policy insights. Taking into account the local geographical characteristics, it advocates for the rational development of forest health resort industry models suitable for the region. It suggests incorporating innovative ideas into the forest health resort industry in order to broaden development channels. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of close collaboration between the government and the market for mutual development.

La glyptique : du berceau des civilisations à nos jours, un art millénaire en constante évolution

The art of stone or gem engraving was invented at the dawn of civilizations. It has played an essential role in the history of art and culture from its start to nowadays, evolving over the centuries to become a means of artistic expression. The earliest forms of glyptic art were observed among ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, around 4,000 BC. Engraved cylindrical seals and scarabs served both as objects of art and means of personal identification. Glyptic art reached its first peak in Greece and Rome. Talented artisans produced intaglios featuring mythological motifs, portraits, and historical scenes, used as personal seals, jewelry, amulets, and collectibles. Throughout the ages of medieval Europe, the art of glyptics survived mainly through ancient collections and a few scattered monastic workshops. The Renaissance saw a renewed interest in engraved gemstones, with the development of a new form of tourism driven by the bourgeoisie. Glyptic art experienced its second peak in the 18th-19th centuries with the fashion for cameos. Today, glyptic art is gradually making a comeback, not only drawing the interest of collectors of ancient pieces but also coming back to the front of the jewelry scene.

Measuring the Perceived Heterogeneity of Cultural Ecosystem Services in National Cultural Parks: Evidence from China

National cultural parks are a new form of tourism in China. These parks focus on cultural heritage. Many studies have examined the cultural ecosystem services (CESs) that parks provide from visitors’ perspectives. However, there needs to be more research on the perceived heterogeneity of CESs among different social groups, especially residents, and the relationship between the supply and demand of CESs. This study uses visitor-employed photographs to reveal the landscape features offered by national cultural parks. This study also analyses the relationship between landscape elements in national cultural parks and CESs, as well as the heterogeneity of users’ perceptions of CESs. The results show that the resident group and visitor group agree on the importance of a sense of place in national cultural parks. However, there are differences between the two groups regarding their perceptions of inspiration, recreation, cultural heritage, and social relations in the parks. Residents are most concerned with the parks’ sense of place and social relations. In contrast, visitors are more interested in inspiration, recreation, heritage, and a sense of place. This study highlights the different needs of residents and visitors from the CESs provided by national cultural parks. It also provides insights for the landscape planning and ecotourism management of cultural heritage-type parks.

Using mobile data to evaluate unobserved tourist overnight stays

Tourist overnight stays are difficult to estimate properly due to the substantial gaps in the official data and the multiple types of accommodation. This trend has been accentuated with the emergence of new forms of accommodation resulting from the development of information and communication technologies and collaborative economies. Several studies have highlighted the importance of quantifying these accommodations because of their social, economic and environmental consequences for tourism destinations. This article explores the use of mobile data analysis as a complementary approach to official statistics to quantify the tourist overnight stays in the Walloon region. The mobile data highlight several aspects of tourism that are ignored by official statistics and raise questions about the underestimation and the current definition of a tourist. However, important limitations to this approach have been identified and are discussed. • Official statistics greatly underestimate tourist overnight stays. • The traditional definition of a tourist is no longer adapted to new forms of tourism. • Mobile data analysis provides a complementary approach for measuring tourism activity. • The paper proposes a methodology for locating visitors' overnight stays using mobile data analysis. • Knowledge of the local context is necessary for monitoring tourism activity with mobile positioning data.

COVID-19 and the emergence of virtual tourism in Indonesia: A sociological perspective

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted the world with devastating socio-economic effects and the global tourism sector has been severely affected by it. A number of current studies have examined the size and form of these negative impacts on tourism but to date, there is lack of research exploring possible positive effects of the pandemic, especially in tourism. This study fills this gap as the purpose of this research is to understand how the pandemic has stimulated the development of virtual tourism and how this new form of tourism is performing. Moreover, this study aims to better understand the roles that structure and agency play in stimulating the emergence of virtual tourism. The study is largely qualitative in nature, using in-depth interviews and participant observation as methods of data collection. The study shows that the pandemic has stimulated technological innovation and the re-conceptualization of leisure-seeking behavior, resulting in the emergence of an Indonesian virtual tourism industry. Virtual tours are offered online, mostly via Zoom, where tourism images are displayed via Google Maps/Earth, photos, or short videos. By using structuration theory, this study shows that the pandemic, a single structure, plays a dual constraining/enabling role that has accelerated the emergence of virtual tourism. These dual roles are performed simultaneously; constraining traditional tourism forms and enabling new virtual forms. More specifically, these findings suggest that structures and agencies/actors represent dualism, as opposed to duality. This study shows that the structure (rules and resources) plays a dominant role in driving actors to innovate, triggering the emergence of virtual tourism.
