Tourism And Intercultural Exchange: Why Tourism Matters - Original PDF
Tourism And Intercultural Exchange: Why Tourism Matters - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Gavin Jack خلاصه: ''This book asks the question: Why is it that tourism matters? It answers this question by looking at how it is we do tourism and learn to be tourists when we are on holiday. Tourism, according to Gavin Jack and Alison Phipps, is a dynamic way of being that may facilitate or hinder intercultural exchange. The ways in which we do tourism and the places in which we are tourists raise practical, material and emotional questions about tourist life. These questions are at the heart of this book.'' To address these issues the authors examine the ways in which intercultural exchange is fostered. They draw on both empirical work and a range of theoretical frameworks, arguing that tourism matters precisely because of the lessons it can teach us about living everyday life with others.

Tourism Forecasting and Marketing - Original PDF
Tourism Forecasting and Marketing - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Wong K. (ed.), Song H. (ed.) خلاصه: Tourism Forecasting and Marketing presents vital, up-to-date research on the latest practice and applications of tourism demand modeling and forecasting. The book addresses both econometric and time series approaches to forecasting, focusing on the concepts, model specification, data analysis, and methodologies used in day-to-day tourism planning. An international panel of practitioners and academics call on a diverse range of empirical research findings to discuss commonly used theoretical frameworks for forecasting and future directions tourism demand is likely to take.Tourism Forecasting and Marketing presents research findings from the United States, the United Kingdom, Asia, and Australia that are invaluable for guiding government and private sector tourism investment and development decisions. The book addresses traditional versus modern forecasting techniques; evaluations of current and past forecasting methods; modeling and forecasting destination choice; and the impact of forecasting and marketing on tourism demand. Topics include: * using time series models to forecast inbound tourism demand for China and Greece * determining the economic factors that influence tourism demand in Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Malaysia * examining domestic travel expenditures in South Korea * developing a model to forecast ski tourism * using the Palmore cohort analysis for tourism forecasting * and much more!Tourism Forecasting and Marketing is an important textbook for educators and students working in tourism policy planning and management, and tourism marketing. The book is equally effective as a reference for travel and tourism researchers, and for professionals dealing with tourism demand analysis and forecasting.
Tourism Demand Modelling and Forecasting: Modern Econometric Approaches - Original PDF
Tourism Demand Modelling and Forecasting: Modern Econometric Approaches - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Song H., Witt S.F. خلاصه: The phenomenal growth of both the world-wide tourism industry and academic interest in tourism over the last thirty years has generated great interest in tourism demand modelling and forecasting from both sectors. However, the tendency for researchers and practitioners engaged in quantitative causal tourism modelling and forecasting to run many regression equations and try to choose the 'best' model based on various parametric and non-parametric criteria has been widely criticised as failing to provide credible results. The aim of this book is to present the recent advances in econometric modelling methodology within the context of tourism demand analysis at a level that is accessible to non-specialists, and to illustrate these new developments with actual tourism applications.The book begins with an introduction to the fundamentals of tourism demand analysis, before addressing the problems of traditional tourism demand modelling and forecasting, i.e. data mining and spurious regression due to common trends in the time series. Three chapters explore the general-to-specific approach to tourism demand modelling and forecasting, including the use of autoregressive distributed lag processes, cointegration analysis and error correction models. The time varying parameter model together with the use of the Kalman filter as an estimation method is a useful tool for examining the effects of regime shifts on tourism demand elasticities: this is explored next. The panel data approach is introduced as a way of overcoming the problem of estimation and forecasting biases caused by insufficient time series data. The book concludes by evaluating the empirical forecasting performance of the various models and putting forward some general conclusions.
The Making of Salem: The Witch Trials in History, Fiction and Tourism - Original PDF
The Making of Salem: The Witch Trials in History, Fiction and Tourism - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Robin Derosa خلاصه: The Salem Witch Trials of 1692 are a case study in hysteria and group psychology, and the cultural effects still linger centuries later. This critical study examines original trial transcripts, historical accounts, fiction and drama, film and television shows, and tourist sites in contemporary Salem, challenging the process of how history is collected and recorded. Drawing from literary and historical theory, as well as from performance studies, the book offers a new definition of history and uses Salem as a tool for rethinking the relationships between the truth and the stories people tell about the past.

Rural Tourism And Sustaninable Business - Original PDF
Rural Tourism And Sustaninable Business - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Hall D. (ed.,), Kirkpatrick I. (ed.), Mitchell M. (ed.) خلاصه: Sustainability here refers to the environment, to the tourism industry in rural areas, and to individual businesses within the industry. The problem addressed is that rural tourism depends largely on small businesses that people have started without the background in business or the environmental and social concerns that have been infiltrating the large companies over the past few years. Contributors from various earth sciences and business fields in both tourist donor and tourist host countries, cover strategic considerations; networks, partnerships, and community support; and quality sustainable business.
