Exploring the Potential of Geotourism with a Focus on Kahagolla Landslides Area in Sri Lanka


 
 
 
 Geotourism is a new type of tourism based on geological features. As such, the primary goal of this research is to identify the possibility of converting protected natural hazard areas into profitable Geotourism sites. A geologic hazard visible in the geological environment is a natural event that occurs within the earth's crust which poses a threat to life and property. One such example is landslides. The Kahagolle landslide area is 3.5 ha in size and landslide prevention and mitigation activities have been conducted here as part of a Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) project costing millions of rupees. The attractiveness and profitability of this location lie in the availability of different landslide mitigation methods within a single area. Located along the Beragala-Hali Ela highway (A16) in close proximity to Haputale and Bandarawela, the site has the potential to attract many domestic as well as international tourists who visit the central hills of Sri Lanka. This was an inductive study using field observations as primary data, and content analysis of published papers and NBRO documents that have been used as secondary, qualitative data. The main conclusion drawn based on the results is that there certainly is a possibility of improving this area as a Geotourism site aimed at foreign and local tourists mainly for educational purposes. The recommendation is to build an information center with the capacity to raise awareness and enhance knowledge about the history of this landslide, the geological quality of the area along with details of the mitigation project. As such, tickets could be issued, and the site arranged into zones from top to bottom while the methods used could be shared with visitors.

Ways to increase ecotourism services in the international tourism market

The experience of foreign countries and international organizations regarding the development of ecological tourism was analyzed, and the activities of progressive, scientifically based global practices were investigated. The main problems that prevent the implementation of international experience in the Ukrainian space have been identified, namely: lack of state support for the development of rural, ecological (green), agrarian tourism; low level of information support; imperfection of the legislative and regulatory framework; limited amount of investment resources; insufficiently practical application of the mechanism of public-private partnership when attracting non-traditional sources of financing investment projects; low level of activity of local authorities in the development of ecotourism; lack of tax benefits for persons involved in the provision of ecotourism services. The priority directions for developing ecotourism in Ukraine are given, taking foreign experience into account. The importance of developing and popularizing Ukrainian ecological tourism on international markets as an element of ensuring a stable situation in the tourism industry is noted. Ecotourism products on the international tourist services market were studied. The types and classifications of ecotourism products, organization, and promotion of tourist services in the international tourist market were studied. It has been established that ecological tourism is gaining more and more popularity and occupies a significant place in the tourism industry. It was determined that the emergence of a new type of tourism has a positive effect on the economic development of countries. The most popular in ecological tourism are tours to those countries where there are still priceless natural resources. It was analyzed that the primary goal of ecotourism is the study and preservation of the environment, the preservation of priceless landscapes. This is the main difference from other types of tourism. The potential for the development of international ecotourism is significant. However, it needs to be used more. Thus, one of the main tasks in the field of tourism development is the creation of ecological paths and ecotourism paths. Ecological tourism can be a specialization that will become a competitive alternative to irrational economic activity and, with the support of state institutions, a natural mechanism for ensuring the region's sustainable development. Thus, the development of international ecotourism is a necessary prerequisite: the availability of resource potential, a harmonious combination of natural and anthropogenic objects, and a network of tourist routes that can become the basis of road tourist routes.

The role of creative tourism through arts and crafts in promoting inclusive tourism in Zimbabwe

ABSTRACT With emerging forms of tourism, creative tourism has brought a shift in the tourism industry. Creative tourism is not fully embraced and there is paucity of studies on the new type of tourism in the developing world. The focus of this article is arts and crafts as a form of creative tourism and its role in promoting inclusive tourism from a community-based type of inclusive tourism. Using qualitative approaches in Zimbabwe cities, the study examines the role of creative tourism through visual arts and crafts in promoting inclusive tourism. The key findings of the study indicated that when managed well, visual arts and crafts have great potential in promoting inclusive tourism through the reduction of poverty and improvement of the livelihoods of the marginalised communities. However, artists encounter challenges in the production of arts and crafts that include lack of capital, lack of production space, lack of marketing, rivalry products from other countries, and lack of support from the government and local tourism organisations. Despite the challenges faced, artists appeal for strategies in financing and marketing, fair competition and relaxed government policies.

Analysis on factors affecting tourist involvement in coffee tourism after the COVID-19 pandemic in Thailand.

Background: The world economy is affected by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, which affects the coffee industry. Coffee tourism is an emerging new type of tourism in Thailand that is formed in response to the growing demand from visitors with a particular affinity for coffee. Coffee tourism may contribute considerably to the expansion of Thai tourism given proper guidance and assistance. Methods: This study used a stochastic neuro-fuzzy decision tree (SNF-DT) to analyze coffee tourism in Thailand. This research surveyed 400 international and Thai coffee tourists. According to this study, Thai visitors mostly visit coffee tourism locations in Thailand for enjoyment. They also wanted to visit coffee fields to obtain personal knowledge about coffee production and marketing. Responses from foreign coffee tourists indicated that many of their journeys to coffee tourism destinations were entirely for enjoyment rather than business. They also wanted to meet local tour guides and acquire handmade and locally produced things to better understand coffee tourism. Results: According to the study results, coffee tourism management in northern Thailand appears to be well received by international tourists. We also compared the suggested model with the traditional model to demonstrate its efficacy. The performance metrics are the prediction rate, prediction error, and accuracy. The estimated results for our proposed technique are prediction rate (95%), prediction error (97%), and accuracy (94%). Recommendations: Major global businesses such as tourism have been harmed by COVID-19's unprecedented effects. This study attempts to determine the role of coffee tourism in livelihoods based on real-time data using a machine-learning approach. More research is needed to analyse the factors of the coffee tourism experience using different machine learning approaches.

Sustainable tourism development in mountain regions. The case study of the Jabel Mesaad, Algeria

The natural environment is one of the most important resources for tourism development. Recently, a new type of tourism has emerged, especially based on nature. A group has emerged in Algeria and elsewhere who prefer to spend their holidays in order to escape the noise and crowds of the city and enjoy the beauty and purity of nature and the diversity of the aesthetics of its landscapes. You can also take advantage of everything related to the specificity of the place and local cultures. Algeria is one of the countries that seeks to achieve this trend. It has great mountain tourism potential that can be exploited to advance and upgrade the sector. Hence the mountain region has made a mecca for visitors according to the unique characteristics of each region. Planning is a frequently used term both in tourism and elsewhere. And "has become a feature of the times" (Abboudi, 2013)
 In this study, we dealt with a topic that aims to identify and limit the most important indicators of mountain tourism in the Jabal Mesaad region using the Delphi technique. This technique was applied through two gradual phases, where the first phase included an open questionnaire question aimed at testing the pulse of experts in determining the indicators they deem appropriate for the development of tourism in mountain areas within the framework of sustainable tourism. After analyzing the various responses received in the questionnaires, we obtained (52) indicators according to the economic, social and psychological dimensions of tourism.
 (39) indicators that comply with the conditions required in the second phase were selected and accepted, including (19) indicators of the environmental dimension dominating the rest of the indicators, followed directly by the indicators of the economic dimension with (10) indicators, then the indicators of the social dimension with (10) indicators. According to the criteria adopted by the World Tourism Organization, we note that all indicators, both quantitative and qualitative, have the characteristics of à good index.

Influence mechanism of tourists' impulsive behavior in E-sports tourism: Mediating role of arousal

While e-sports tourism has gradually become popular among young adults—especially with China’s e-sports industry in full swing—certain problems have emerged with this new type of tourism. This study uses arousal theory as a basis for exploring the influence mechanism of e-sports tourists' impulsive behavior in Chinese collective culture. A sample of 562 participants in China were surveyed online to test the research model, which included 10 hypotheses. The empirical results indicate that: Firstly, the system quality of the Information System (IS) success model and the human stimuli influence arousal; secondly, tourists' motivation for e-sports tourism, group honor concerns, and identity in the Chinese context also positively affect arousal, and then influence impulsive behavior; and thirdly, arousal has a mediating effect between the environmental stimuli (except information quality) and impulsive behavior. This paper innovatively proposes that the physical and psychological elements of environmental stimuli could significantly affect arousal levels, thus in turn influencing impulsive behavior in e-sports tourism. Furthermore, the conclusion section discuses practical suggestions for the organizers of e-sports tournaments, such as adjusting environmental stimuli to achieve optimal arousal levels.

Regional revitalization, contents tourism, and the representation of place in anime: the Seichi-junrei of Love Live! Sunshine!! in Japan

ABSTRACT In Japan, real-world locations that appear in manga and anime have gained popularity as tourist destinations since the 1990s. Fans refer to those locations as “Seichi” (i.e. “a holy place”). Since 2010, research on this new type of tourism (Seichi-junrei, also known as contents tourism) has increased. The relationships that emerge between the fans, content creators/producers, and local stakeholders through contents tourism are varied. This study examines the work Love Live! Sunshine!! and how Seichi-junrei was developed by the creators/producers since the project’s inception. Through an examination of the work and interviews, I assessed the relationships that developed between the involved parties (fans, creators/producers, and regional stakeholders), as well as the extent to which Seichi-junrei gained acceptance in the region. The development of Seichi-junrei related to Love Live! Sunshine!! marks a departure from prior examples of this phenomenon, since it has been essentially creator/producer-driven rather than fan-driven or the result of a collaboration between the creators/producers and regional stakeholders.

POST-COVID TOURISMS: VIRTUAL TOURISMS AS THE NEW TRAVEL TRENDS

This conceptual paper discussed about the COVID-19 pandemic caused many industries to face their downfall, and one of the industries is the tourism industry. As a corollary, a new type of tourism, virtual tourism, is required to promote and restore the tourist sector to its former glory while not dismissing the need for social distancing. Through virtual tourism, people no longer need to travel to a particular tourist destination to experience tourism, but they can now stay at their home and escape to another destination virtually. Aside from giving tourists another level of tourism pleasure, virtual tourism also contributes a lot to the industries such as heritage preservation, tourism marketing, tourism planning and as an opportunity for disabled person to experience tourism. Even though virtual reality technology does not provide the users with enough authentic experience due to the inability to touch the object in the virtual environment, but it can be considered as a good start to advertise virtual tourism as an alternative to conventional tourism especially during the pandemic era where every movement is limited.

Potential of Voluntourism in Central Finland

Voluntourism is a relatively new type of tourism considered to contribute to the sustainability of the industry because of its ties to the local community and the destination. In recent years, with the strong impact of covid-19 crisis on the travel economy new practices and directions of tourism development were driven, and the requirement for sustainability has been emphasized. This research investigates the question: What is the potential for voluntourism in the province of Central Finland? Three studies were conducted. Firstly, existing secondary data was investigated, such as online reviews, blogs and media articles regarding voluntourism in Finland. Secondly, a questionnaire was conducted, which targeted municipality actors, such as mayors, business representatives, as well as regional developers and Leader local action groups, rural entrepreneurs, farm owners, village associations and other parties of interest. Thirdly, theme interviews were conducted with key actors about their current activity and interest in voluntourism to discover examples of existing uncoordinated voluntourism activity in the region. The results, which regard the identification of the voluntourism term, the existing concepts in Finland and the activity in Central Finland, revealed both opportunities and challenges. The term is unknown, and it does not cover all the activity that could be developed in Central Finland. The need is evident for multifaced and complex networking, as well as for the planning and funding of concrete piloting actions of voluntourism in the province. The data gathered could also be applied to the building of a national operating model of voluntourism. This study is a part of “The Value Project: Central Finland as a Leading Province for Volunteer Tourism”, which is implemented in cooperation between Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences and Central Finland Villages Association, and co-funded by the European Union.

МАВРИТАНСЬКА ІСТОРИКО-КУЛЬТУРНА ТА РЕЛІГІЙНА СПАДЩИНА В СУЧАСНОМУ ТУРИЗМІ ІСПАНІЇ

The article covers the problem of establishing Halal tourism, which has begun to develop in recent years. The question is considered via the analysis of cultural monuments of Mavrian heritage in Spain. The spreading of a new type of tourism and its features is considered separately. Key scientific ideas and works on the origin of the term «halal tourism» are also analyzed. The paper identifies the main problems of development of this type of tourism, the main of which can be identified anti-Islamist sentiments of the Spanish right-wing political party Vox. In addition, representatives of the tourism sector are still insufficiently aware of the possibilities of presenting, spreading and developing halal tourism. So far, only two hotels in Spain have passed and received special certificates and are recognized as providing products and services, respecting the religious beliefs of their visitors. In particular, the requirements for certificates include the presence of a halal menu in the hotel restaurant, prayer rugs and directions to Mecca in the rooms, the correct location of beds and bathrooms, no alcohol in the minibar. The article also mentions the main organizations in Spain that contribute to the spread and stabilization of halal tourism – Instituto Halal, Halal International Tourism, etc. The current achievements in this field of tourism in Spain are listed, including the second place in the list of Global Muslim Travel Index 2018. In addition, Spain continues to actively move towards the development of this type of tourism and attracting more and more Arab tourists to its country.

My address is the Soviet Union – or is it? Baltic identity in souvenir production within the Soviet discourse

In the 1960s, tourism in the Soviet Union underwent radical changes. While previously the focus had been on showcasing the rapid modernization of the empire, this new type of tourism focused on introducing foreigners to the regional vernacular culture in the Soviet Union. As the number of tourists increased, the need for wider mass production of souvenirs emerged. This research focuses on the identity of souvenirs produced in Baltic states as a case study for identifying the existence and nature of regionalism within the Soviet system. This study found that within Baltic souvenir production, two separate types of identities manifested. Firstly, the use of national or vernacular symbols was allowed and even promoted throughout the Soviet Union. A famous slogan of the era was ‘Socialist in content, national in form’, which suggested that national form was suitable for conveying socialist ideals. These products were usually made of local materials and employed traditional national ornament. However, this research identified a secondary identity within the souvenirs manufactured in the Baltic countries, which was based on a shared ‘European past’. The symbol often chosen to convey it was the pre-Soviet Old Town, which was in all three states based on Western and Central European architectural traditions. This research suggests that this European identity validated through the use of Old Town as a recurring motif on souvenirs, distinguished Baltic states from the other regions of the Soviet Union. While most souvenirs manufactured in the Soviet Union emphasized the image of locals as the exotic ‘Other’, Baltic souvenirs inspired by Old Town conveyed the idea of familiarity to European tourists.

Dark Tourism in Southern Spain (Córdoba): An Analysis of the Demand.

In recent decades, there has been a change in tourists’ tastes; they want to experience something novel. To satisfy this demand, a new type of tourism, known as “dark tourism”, has arisen; it has various modalities, among which cemetery tourism and ghost tourism stand out, in addition to very different motivations from those of the cultural tourist. In this type of tourism, cemeteries are not visited to appreciate their architecture or heritage but to explore a morbid curiosity about the people buried there; ghost tourism or paranormal tourism seizes on the desire to know the events that occurred there and tends to have macabre content. This study analyzes dark tourism in the province of Córdoba in southern Spain with the aim of knowing the profile of the tourist and his motivation. This study additionally will forecast the demand for this type of tourism, using autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models, which allow us to know this market’s evolution and whether any promotional action should be carried out to promote it.
