Collaborative Performances of Wine Tourism Destinations in the Northern Rhone Valley

Purpose: The main aim of this article was to identify the wine tourism destination models set up on collaborative performances driven by Tourism Offices (Destination Marketing Organization, DMO) and wineries (private enterprises) from the appellate areas in the Northen Rhone Valley. Design/methodology/approach: The ethnographical methodology was used, including methods of participating observation (applied by a mysterious tourist method), study tours (to explore the study field), expert analysis (based on knowledge exchange with Tourism Office Managers) and official interviews (with Mangers of small and large wine producers from the areas). Findings: Two of the three surveyed wine tourism destinations from the Northern Rhône Valley (Vienne Condrieu and Rhône Crussol) are distinguished by the very active role of tourism organizations in building collaborative wine tourism offerings, in particular with small wineries. The third destination surveyed (Ardèche Hermitage) is more oriented toward collaborations with large wine producers and their independent role in leading wine tourism marketing. Research limitations/implications: Managers of tourism organizations should be oriented toward collaboration with both: large and small wine producers. Large wineries are helpful in raising the visibility and image of a wine destination. Small producers, on the other hand, offer a distinctive and individual wine tourism experience. Originality/value: The key aspect of wine tourism marketing is the building of collaborative wine tourism offerings led by DMO’s collaboration with both large and small wineries from the destination.

Walking in their footsteps: Historical empathy and experiential learning on battlefield study tours

Reflecting on my experience leading battlefield study tours for secondary school students, this article explores the pedagogical benefits of experiential learning for fostering historical empathy. I suggest that experiential learning offers students opportunities to engage with both the cognitive and affective dimensions of history, which are necessary for developing historical empathy. In doing so, I adopt Davison’s (2017) conceptualization of historical empathy as a cognitive-affective “pathway” to demonstrate how experiential learning supports students’ understandings of perspectives and experiences in the past. On the study tours, students entered the past by developing emotional connections to historical actors and particular places, based on their family histories and backgrounds. While visiting historic sites and interpreting battlefield landscapes, students worked with the historical record to build contextual knowledge and consider diverse perspectives. Finally, students exited the past to form ethical judgments about the World Wars and applied their learning within their communities back home in Canada.

Research on Visual Design and Realization Path of Educational Value of Nature Study Activities in Zhejiang Province under the Perspective of Culture and Tourism Integration

Abstract Today, in the information age, digital technological innovation is changing rapidly, and the in-depth development of digitization, networking, and intelligence has revitalized the living heritage of natural heritage and provided a new direction for the development of the field of natural heritage study tours. In this paper, a Monte Carlo rendering method based on deep learning is used to improve the image output quality of the virtual model by analyzing the characteristics of the output image of the natural heritage model. The digital display of nature study activities features Zhejiang Nature Museum as the design object. Its educational value can be demonstrated through virtual characters, storylines, interactive games, and other methods. Through the survey statistics, it can be concluded that the visual design program for nature studies has a better practical application effect. Based on the SOR theory, a model for analyzing research experience satisfaction is established based on the perception transfer of the research place and the research activity scenario. In this research activity, the regression coefficients of the quality of the virtual scenario and the perception of the educational value are the highest, which are 0.238 and 0.226, respectively, indicating that the two have the greatest role in the satisfaction of the students.

Analysis of Discrepancies Between Destination Image and Tourists' Perceived Image: Taking Fuzhou as a Case

Taking Fuzhou as a case study, this research analyzes tourist network travel notes, online comments, and official website reports of the tourism bureau, and uses the word frequency statistical function of semantic analysis software to extract high-frequency words of tourist perception and official website projection of tourism image, and constructs social relations and semantic networks to compare and analyze tourist perception and official website dissemination of tourism image. The research results show that the Fuzhou tourism image perceived by tourists can be summarized into four dimensions: tourist attractions, tourism environment atmosphere, tourism facilities and services, and tourism experience. Tourists perception of tourist attractions is consistent with the official projection, and Sanfang Qixiang and hot springs have become representative resources of Fuzhou. The key points of official propaganda are inconsistent with the focus of tourist perception. The Fuzhou Tourism Bureau should pay more attention to tourism hotspots such as historical buildings in the city and Pingtan Island scenery, and actively create an ecological leisure city, focusing on parent-child study tours and rural revitalization. Tourists prefer historical buildings in the city and Pingtan Island scenery. Finally, based on the research conclusions, targeted suggestions are proposed for Fuzhous tourism promotion.

Dismantling the education exclusion zone

Traditional textbook publishing magnifies some voices while silencing others, pushing consistently marginalised groups into an education exclusion zone. Open educational resources (OER) purportedly address this problem; however, without adequate guidance on inclusive design, OER fail to rise to the challenge. This paper undertakes an exploratory initial review of EmpoweredOER, a practical tool in first-phase iterative development, designed to unpack the complexities of inclusive OER. Emerging from a grant-funded international study tour, three best practice themes informed the design of EmpoweredOER: true accessibility, beyond technological; universal design for learning and inclusive open education nexus; and diverse perspectives and representation. Initial findings indicate EmpoweredOER meets its objective. Future research will analyse the impact and growth of EmpoweredOER as it matures.
 Implications for practice:
 
 There is appetite to dedicate further resources to developing inclusive OER tools.
 Advocates can instill a sense of community in their resources for increased engagement.
 Resource creators should incorporate interactivity and adaptability for greater contextualisation.

Teacher Strategy for Realizing the Religious Culture of Students at Satit Phatnawitya School Yala Thailand

Moral decline and uneducated behavior from students is an inevitable challenge in the world of education. Akhlakul Karimah character can be created through religious culture in the school environment. Teachers as a superior sector, role models and role models for students have an important role in internalizing this religious culture. This research is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. Using observation, interviews, and documentation as data collection methods. The data source comes from interviews with the head of the institution and four teachers. Data analysis uses an interactive model, namely through the process of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the research show that the strategies adopted by teachers to realize students' religious culture are cultivating the 6S (Senyum, Salam, Salim, Sapa, Sopan, Santun), getting used to praying together before and after studying, muroja'ah short surahs, reading and memorizing Al Quran, getting used to shalat together, turning on sholawat chants, watching the story of Nabiyullah, decorating the classroom walls with calligraphy, hijaiyah letters, and Islamic nuances, cultivating an attitude of mutual tolerance and mutual respect, getting used to saying bismillah, alhamdulillah, Masha Allah, Subhanallah, Allahu Akbar, and muroja'ah Surah Al Kahf. Supporting factors for the realization of students' religious culture are students' internal motivation, school policy on conducting study tours, exemplary teacher, adequate school facilities and infrastructure, and the establishment of cooperation between teachers and teachers, teachers and parents, teachers and students. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factor for the realization of students' religious culture is that students come from different regions.

Between the everyday and the extraordinary: encounters in the wet market study tour

ABSTRACT With the blurring of boundaries between tourism and everyday life, research has increasingly focused on tourism activities occurring within daily life spaces. This paper explores various encounters in proximity tourism through a wet market study tour. It investigates how the mundane practice of ‘roaming through a wet market’ has evolved into tourism encounters that resonate with everyday life experiences. It found that firstly, the wet market, which is typically associated with everyday life, appears unfamiliar and alienating to young parents and children. This unfamiliarity serves as a prerequisite for its transformation from a commonplace activity to a tourist attraction. Secondly, tourism encounters can be created. Organizers intentionally create encounters through interactive activities, fostering difference-based interactions. Thirdly, the proximity tourism encounter can be understood as a process of (re)discovering the everyday and the nearby. Its impacts extend beyond the tourism space, influencing attitudes, practices, and reflections on self, family relationships, and the local environment. The study highlights the group dimension of encounters in family tourism and suggests a shift in encounter studies to focus on relational aspects. It calls for recognizing the interconnected relationship between tourism and everyday life.

Research on the interaction mechanism of intangible cultural heritage living analysis and study tour development based on big data technology

Abstract This paper first investigates the coupling mechanism between intangible cultural heritage and the tourism industry and structurally couples intangible cultural heritage and study tours by constructing an evolutionary model. Then, by analyzing the situation of the study tour market and constructing an evaluation system for the development potential of the study tour market, we analyze data on the development of ICH-themed study tours using correlation coefficients and significance tests. The results showed that the seven variables showed a significant correlation (p<0.05) between two and two, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.497-0.938, and all the significance of different subgroups on the analysis of the difference between the overall satisfaction of tourists at non-heritage study sites, the satisfaction of non-heritage study products and the satisfaction of scenic spot conditions were below 0.05. It indicates that the overall satisfaction of tourists at non-heritage study sites, satisfaction with non-heritage study products, and satisfaction with scenic conditions are significantly different among people of different subgroups.

Meaningful short-term study abroad experiences: the role of destination in international educational tourism

ABSTRACT Short-term study abroad (STSA) programs are one of the most dynamic segments of international educational travel and tourism. Our study utilizes experiential learning theory (ELT) to investigate and compare the scope and depth of students’ encounters during STSA tours across four different global travel destinations (the United Arab Emirates, Russia, Vietnam, and the United States of America). Through an analysis of the learning journals of 116 undergraduate students who participated in these international study tours, we identify the types of experiences that students engage in during their STSA programs. Then we investigate which experiences are perceived to be more meaningful and to facilitate student learning. Last, we analyze these experiences across four different global destinations to explore how meaningfulness may vary. The study provides important implications for travel providers concerning the choice of travel destination and for higher education institutions that design and develop international educational tourism opportunities.
