国际视域下的天津东疆港免退税政策的建议

天津东疆保税港区以其独特的地理位置、区位优势和政策环境优势为建立免税自由贸易港岛提供了有利条件。积极争取国家有关部门的支持,批准天津东疆保税港岛试行免税政策对天津成为以免税购物为主题的,融娱乐、休闲、购物于一体的国际知名旅游目的地具有里程碑意义,将会大大提升天津知名度和国际竞争力。本文通过对世界上其他国家和地区的现有＂离境退税＂政策和＂离岛免税＂政策进行分析,从中发现能促进东疆港免税购物成功发展的重要因素,并给出相关的对策建议。     

海岛地区生态足迹与可持续发展研究——以长山群岛为例

海岛地域经济类型作为劳动地域分工的一种表现形式,有其一般性,也有其特殊性.2004年长山群岛地区生态足迹为1.6825hm2/人,生态赤字为0.9338hm2/人,同时还输出高达25.4608hm2/人的生态足迹.淡水足迹为0.3150hm2/人,为整个大连地区平均水平的10倍以上.赤字惊人.作为开放的经济系统,长山群岛不仅通过本地消耗造成大量的陆地生态赤字,更通过向区外输出大量水产品,贡献了巨大的海洋生态足迹,这使得长山群岛的陆地和海洋生态系统承受着较大的压力.通过对长山群岛生态足迹结构的分析,文章认为海岛地区生态足迹状况是本地区人口资源环境特点所决定的,更是其长期的劳动地域分工所形成的特定产业结构造成的.与海岛地区经济发展较高的生态成本相对,其人口与海洋资源生态环境的和谐程度直接关系到我国海洋国土的完整与安全.在此基础上,文章针对该地区可持续发展特点.提出了我国海岛区域寻求经济社会可持续发展的对策.     

基于供需不平衡下海南旅游人数与酒店数量分析

本文从海南省国际旅游岛的建设背景出发,揭示了海南省酒店供求管理中存在的不平衡问题,深刻剖析了供求不平衡的原因和弊端,并进行了实证分析。在人数预测上,选用累积和逐期增长量两个指标,从增长的绝对量和增长程度两个角度有效把握目前的人数变化趋势,运用Eviews,进行一元回归模型分析。在酒店数量方面,根据预测人数和酒店行业入住率标准,确定最佳酒店数量。最后结合海南省实际情况,提出酒店供求管理在今后发展过程中的对策和建议。     

发展海南通用航空产业研究

我国低空空域开放,海南将首先成为低空空域自由飞行区的试点省份。要深刻认识我国低空空域管理改革巨大的经济性意义,依托国际旅游岛建设和文昌航天城建设等优势条件,创办海南通用航空产业园加快发展通用航空产业,并把通用航空产业作为战略性新兴产业来培育,使之成长为引导经济社会发展和加快发展方式转变的重要经济力量。     

Small island urban tourism: a residents' perspective

The impacts of tourism have been given much consideration by scholars attempting to investigate the attitudes of the host population toward tourism. Such studies have been carried out in rural, coastal as well as in urban areas. However, most studies on urban tourism impacts have been conducted in the context of the developed world, whereas very little research has been carried out in the urban environment of Small Island Developing States. Using a sample size of 230 residents, this study contributes to the limited literature on urban tourism in islands by examining the residents' attitudes toward tourism in Port Louis, the capital city of the island of Mauritius. Findings suggest that while the positive impacts of tourism are well recognized by the residents, the latter are also concerned with some negative influence of tourism in Port Louis. Residents were found not to be homogeneous in their perceptions toward tourism. Employment in tourism was found to be an antecedent of attitudes. Gender and age were also found to be discriminators toward some tourism impact. Findings also revealed that residents were supportive of cultural tourism development. Implications for the management of the small island urban tourism are also discussed.     

中国海岛旅游研究现状及发展趋势

海岛是世界的旅游热点,改革开放30年来,中国的海岛旅游得到了长足的发展,海岛旅游研究也取得了一定的成果。但无论海岛旅游还是海岛旅游研究,与中国海洋大国的地位还远不相称。文章在对近30年来国内有关海岛旅游文献进行分析的基础上,从海岛旅游资源开发与可持续发展、环境与安全、旅游产品等方面对中国海岛旅游研究现状进行了论述,分析了海岛旅游研究中的常用研究方法,并对研究中存在的问题和研究趋势作了探讨,以期为今后的海岛旅游研究提供思路,促进中国海岛旅游研究的进一步发展。     

Modelling international tourism demand and volatility in small island tourism economies

Small island tourism economies (SITEs) vary in their size, land area, location, narrow resource bases, economic development, overwhelming reliance on tourism and consistent inflow of foreign direct investment for economic growth. Small island tourism economics differ in their ethnic diversity, political systems, economic and environmental vulnerability, ecological fragility and the risks facing investors. Owing to natural disasters, ethnic conflicts, crime and the threat of global terrorism, there have been dramatic changes in the arrivals of international tourists to SITEs. These variations in international tourism demand to SITEs, particularly the conditional variance (or volatility) in international tourist arrivals, have not previously been analysed in the tourism research literature. An examination of the conditional volatility of international tourist arrivals is essential for policy analysis and marketing purposes. This paper models the conditional mean and conditional variance of the logarithm of monthly international tourist arrivals and the growth rate (or log‐difference) in the monthly international tourist arrivals for six SITEs, namely Barbados, Cyprus, Dominica, Fiji, Maldives and Seychelles. Diagnostic checks of the regularity conditions of the logarithm of monthly international tourist arrivals and their growth rates suggest that the estimated univariate models of trends and volatility are statistically adequate. Therefore, the estimated models are appropriate for purposes of public and private sector management of tourism. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Selling Anthropocene space: situated adventures in sustainable tourism

Abstract

The Anthropocene is a proposed technical term for a new geological timeframe, but it is also a conceptual tool with the potential to redefine the stakes of contemporary environmental politics. One facet that is often overlooked is that the Anthropocene is a concept with commercial potential, even if the term itself has not been widely adopted. This article presents an investigation of the commercial potential of the Anthropocene idea through the lens of self-described sustainable tourism ventures in The Bahamas. These examples demonstrate some of the ways in which Anthropocene imaginaries participate in the recreation, redesign, and rebranding of specific spaces as emergent “tourism products”, specifically the small island farm and the anthropogenic coral reef. The goal is twofold: (1) to explore the symbolic and material creativity of the Anthropocene idea as its themes are used to extend capitalist innovation, and (2) to examine the Anthropocene idea as a strategy that builds upon existing histories of inequality to enable transnational accumulation in particular locales. As a situated adventure, this article articulates a reflexive mode of political ecological research for the Anthropocene that is equipped to critically articulate emergent practices at the intersection of postcolonial tourism, environmental conservation, and sustainable development.
