Spatial analysis of the U.S. lodging industry, 1963–1977

Data from the U.S. Department of Commerce Census of Business in 1963, 1972, and 1977 were compared on a state by state basis and by standard metropolitan statistical areas in order to analyze the spatial growth points of the U.S. lodging industry. The results point to major lodging growth areas in the Sunbelt states with central Florida, Las Vegas, Nevada and Hawaii as outstanding nodes of development. Metropolitan lodging growth has taken place in the Sunbelt cities with populations of 100,000 to one million, with above average growth in those cities located in the coastal zone.

Development of advanced tourism studies in Holland

Bodewes, Theo, Development of Advanced Tourism Studies in Holland. Annals of Tourism Research 1981, VIII(1):35–51. The entry of tourism studies into the field of advanced education is often a difficult process. Theory and practice sometimes serve conflicting interests. In the Netherlands an option has been taken for a theoretical, multi-disciplinary approach with links to the field of practice. Within this framework, tourism is indissolubly connected with leisure and recreation, leisure being the core of studies. This implies that the universities should educate leisure economists, leisure sociologists, etc., and that advanced professional educational institutions should educate leisure experts. This paper discusses whether the problems and solutions in the Netherlands are recognizable and/or useful abroad, and whether one institution can learn from the experiences of others.     

Revitalization of traditional resorts

The process of revitalizing tranditional resorts is discussed, through examination of the redevelopment of Scheveningen — a leading seaside resort in the Netherlands. Location and organizational aspects of the redevelopment are identified as two key factors in this process. The market analysis, the development plan and investment sources, the role of public authorities and private enterprise and the redevelopment results are evaluated.     

Spuriousness and tourism: Politics of Two Canadian Provincial Government

Papson, Stephen, Spuriousness and Tourism: Politics of Two Canadian Provincial Government. Annals of Tourism Research 1981, VIII(2):220–235. Using Boorstein's and MacCannell's notions of pseudo-events and of staged authenticity, this paper explores the process by which socio-cultural reality takes on the quality of spuriousness. Theoretically, it is argued that reality is spurious to the extent that it is imposed from sources outside of the everyday existence of members of a community. Empirically, the policies of the provincial governments of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island are analyzed. It is argued that tourist marketing, routing and zoning, creating community events, and organizing historical sites are a form imposing a layer of reality over the everyday which is spurious.     

入境旅游对地区收入的影响

本文利用面板数据模型对不同地区的入境旅游消费支出与地区收入进行实证分析,结果发现,不同地区入境旅游的消费支出并没有显著差异,入境旅游的消费支出每提高1个百分点,国内主要城市的旅游收入平均只能提高0.09个百分点。不同区域的自发收入水平差距是最重要的影响因素,其中,旅游发展的自发收入以拉萨最高,其次是深圳和南京等城市;最低的城市为兰州,其次是西宁和成都等城市。本文认为提高旅游发展投资力度、规范旅游发展制度、进一步开发多元化旅游市场、扩大文化交流和加大海外旅游营销力度是提高我国入境旅游业的发展能力,缩小不同区域间的旅游发展差距的有利举措。     

旅游扶贫发展的本质及其影响因素

＂贫困问题＂始终是一个世界性的难题,威胁着人类的生存与发展,而消除贫困是人类面临的共同任务。随着旅游业的蓬勃发展,它对社会经济的拉动作用逐渐凸显,人们逐渐开始把寻求解决贫困问题的目光投向旅游业,期望借助旅游业的带动作用找到解决贫困问题的方法。只有真切理解旅游扶贫发展的本质,在旅游扶贫发展实践中才会有的放矢。旅游扶贫发展的对象首先体现在旅游扶贫发展的目标地区方面,其次体现在旅游扶贫发展的目标人口方面。旅游扶贫发展在培育经济增长点,探索脱贫致富新路等领域具有积极意义,但是旅游扶贫发展作为一种特殊的开发、开放扶贫方式,它需要具备一定的发展因素。     

海南岛自然生态系统服务价值评估

以卫星遥感影像为基础,运用"3S"技术,解译并统计了海南岛陆地自然生态系统的类型和面积,利用生态经济相关理论基础,评估计算出年海南岛陆地自然生态系统服务价值。结果表明,2008年海南岛自然生态系统服务价值约2198×108元,是当年全省GDP的1.5倍;森林生态系统的服务价值占四类生态系统(森林、草地、湿地和淡水)服务价值的81.77%,单位面积价值量达3260×104元/km2;自然生态系统在维持营养物质循环、水调节、大气调节等方面的间接使用价值约2076×108元,是直接使用价值的17.0倍。研究首次建立了针对海南岛陆地生态系统服务价值全面的评估体系,并在评估方法上择优、改进,对海南岛自然生态系统服务价值监测体系的构建及深入研究具有重要意义。     

基于利益相关者角度对中国旅游发展问题研究

随着旅游市场的迅猛发展,不同利益主体间因为诉求不同而产生的问题也愈发明显,冲突的表现形式纷繁复杂。基于利益相关者的角度进行解析,其本质是地方政府、当地社区居民、旅游者和旅游企业四者因为利益诉求不同而产生的矛盾。通过探寻不同主体的诉求及产生诉求原因,将对未来解决矛盾提供有益的帮助。     

宁南山区生态移民后的生态旅游产业开发——以西吉县为例

20世纪90年代末期实施的生态移民工程,有效地改善了我国西部生态脆弱地区恶化的自然环境、缓解了紧张的人地关系,促进了经济、社会与环境的协调发展。在此背景下,合理开发西部地区丰富的旅游资源、发展生态旅游产业,既有利于生态移民成效的长久维持,也有利于当地经济的发展、人民生活水平的提高,是实现生态环境保护和经济可持续发展的最佳契合点。以宁夏南部山区生态移民的典型县——西吉县为例,在分析其生态移民成效及问题的基础上,结合旅游开发现状,探索西吉县生态旅游发展的对策,以期对将来的生态旅游建设有所启示。
