This book was released on 2016 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The past decade has seen the rapid increase of tourist flows from Middle East countries (World Tourism Organization, 2015). One of these countries is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. According to Tourism Information and Research Centre (2006-2012), the number of Saudi outbound tourists has been increasing continually in the last ten years. The Tourism Information and Research Centre reported 2 million outbound trips in 2006, while 21 million trips were reported in 2015. However, little is known about Saudi tourists and it is not clear what factors motivate them to travel abroad and what activities they participate in. This research investigates the motivations and vacation activities of Saudis when they travel out of the country. The research aims to provide a review of the literature on travel motivations and vacation activities; primary investigation data on Saudis’ travel abroad, motivations, and vacation activities; and implications for future research and destination management alike. The primary investigation employs a quantitative strategy based on the analysis of data collected through self-administered questionnaires. The study was designed to employ a convenience sample of 400 respondents. The results showed that the most important motivational factors were personal escape, followed by personal seeking. The most important vacation activities were ‘just relaxing’, ‘shopping’, and ‘sightseeing’. The results showed that demographic profiles such as gender and age had an impact on Saudi tourist’ motivation and vacation activity."--Abstract.

Book Synopsis An Examination of the Saudi Arabian Citizens’ Perception on Leisure Tourism’s Impact on Culture in Saudi Arabia by : Ihsan Bayaa
Download or read book An Examination of the Saudi Arabian Citizens’ Perception on Leisure Tourism’s Impact on Culture in Saudi Arabia written by Ihsan Bayaa and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation aims to understand the perception of Saudi Arabian citizens on the impact of leisure tourism on culture in the country. Given that Saudi Arabia is the second most popular tourist destination in the Middle East, with more than 16 million visitors in 2017, and that the leisure tourism industry is rapidly expanding, it is important to examine the impact of this growing industry on the local culture. This study is significant as it provides valuable insights into the perceptions of Saudi Arabian citizens on the impact of leisure tourism on their culture and ways it may shape their future. It also highlights the potential for the leisure tourism sector to contribute to the country’s economy as an alternative source of revenue. The study used a quantitative research approach and collected data through a questionnaire survey of 98 Saudi Arabian citizen participants from both the general population and the tourism industry professionals. The results were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences with regression and correlation analysis. It was concluded that there is no significant relationship between leisure tourism’s impact on culture in Saudi Arabia. The study also found that leisure tourism has the potential to contribute significantly to the country's economy, especially in light of the declining oil industry. However, there is a need for sustainable tourism practices that take into account the preservation of cultural heritage and the protection of the environment. Overall, the study provides valuable insights into the impact of leisure tourism on culture in Saudi Arabia and highlights the need for a balanced approach that considers both the economic benefits and the preservation of cultural heritage.

Book Synopsis Contemporary Muslim Travel Cultures by : C. Michael Hall
Download or read book Contemporary Muslim Travel Cultures written by C. Michael Hall and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-26 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely volume brings together various issues in Muslim consumer cultures and provides a comprehensive account of Muslim tourism and tourist behaviour. Islam is a major international religion and Muslims are a majority of the population in many countries in Asia, the Middle East and North Africa. The growth of a substantial middle class, the development of Islamic consumer cultures, rising Muslim market consumption in non-Muslim majority destinations and the growing significance of intra-Muslim traffic and rising outbound tourism expenditure in emerging Muslim markets have all contributed to substantial interest in Muslim tourism. However, travel by Muslims is about far more than the Hajj and Umrah, as important as they are as acts of devotion. Instead, although often portrayed in the West as a monolithic religion, Muslim travel and leisure behaviour is very diverse, with different traditions and cultures leading to a range of expressions of tourism-related consumption culture and practices. Drawing on a range of empirical studies undertaken in different social and economic contexts and countries, this book provides a well-balanced portrayal of the Muslim tourism experience and practices. This book makes a substantial contribution to an improved understanding of Muslim travel culture and will be required reading for anyone interested in this fast-growing market.

Book Synopsis Tourism and Disability by : Tindara Abbate
Download or read book Tourism and Disability written by Tindara Abbate and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-29 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses existing challenges and opportunities related to tourism for people with disabilities. A niche market that is largely underdeveloped, its potentials are also often underestimated. It examines the strategies, policies, and initiatives – at regional, national, and international levels – to foster the development of accessible tourism for people with disabilities. It does so by examining the different social, cultural, legal, and information/interactive barriers that represent important constraints to welfare, inclusion, integration, and promotion of civil rights, which bring difficulties and detriment to tourists with disabilities. Additionally, the book analyzes the characteristics and dynamics of that portion of the tourism industry that is more oriented to meet the distinctive travel demand of people with disabilities. In doing so, the book explores how preferences for travel services and facilities of people with disabilities differ from preferences of tourists without disabilities. All these issues are addressed from both a theoretical and a practical perspective by adopting a multidisciplinary approach, which leverages from the fields of management, economics, and statistical analysis. The book can be useful for a broad audience made of both researchers and practitioners (among which tourism companies and corporate trainers) who are expected to deal with the topic of tourism management.

Book Synopsis International Tourism by : Yvette Reisinger, PhD
Download or read book International Tourism written by Yvette Reisinger, PhD and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-08-27 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years there has been a considerable interest in the cultural aspects of tourism such as the impacts of culture on tourism planning, development, management, and marketing. However, the focus has been on material forms of culture such as arts, music, or crafts. The impacts of national culture on tourist behavior and travel decision-making have not been paid much attention. Only in the last two years have cross-cultural issues begun to generate significant interest among academics. An examination of cultural characteristics and differences is extremely important to the tourism industry because today’s tourism environment is becoming increasingly international. Information on the nature of the cultural differences between international tourists and locals is not readily available in tourism literature. The concept of culture is very complex and includes such abstract concepts as satisfaction, attitude and loyalty. International Tourism brings these concepts to the undergraduate student in tourism, as well as students in the related fields of marketing, management, international business, and cross-cultural communication. Designed as a textbook, it isorganized and presented in an integrated and relevant way for the benefit of a worldwide audience.

It will be a useful resource for students, lecturers and researchers in tourism, human geography, cultural studies and sociology.
