This book was released on 2023-04-24 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Community development becomes a reality only by merging the principles of sustainability with growth objectives. Even though investments in environmentally friendly infrastructure and related services are fundamental, there is a need to address gender inequalities, exploitation, and commercialization of culture. Further, there is a need to prioritize the link between tourism and poverty reduction. Inclusive Community Development Through Tourism and Hospitality Practices explores various viable strategies for the adoption of sustainable approaches that can eventually boost economic growth and poverty reduction all over the world. Covering topics such as international tourism, sustainable development, and tourism reinforcement, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for business leaders and managers, students and educators of higher education, community leaders, government officials, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
Book Synopsis Tourism, Planning, and Community Development by : Rhonda Phillips
Download or read book Tourism, Planning, and Community Development written by Rhonda Phillips and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intersection of community development, tourism and planning is a fascinating one. Tourism has long been used as a development strategy, in both developed and developing countries, from the national to local levels. These approaches have typically focused on economic dimensions with decisions about tourism investments, policies and venues driven by these economic considerations. More recently, the conversation has shifted to include other aspects – social and environmental – to better reflect sustainable development concepts. Perhaps most importantly is the richer focus on the inclusion of stakeholders. An inclusionary, participatory approach is an essential ingredient of community development and this brings both fields even closer together. It reflects an approach aimed at building on strengths in communities, and fostering social capacity and capital. In this book, the dimensions of the role tourism plays in community development are explored. A panoply of perspectives are presented, tackling such questions as, can tourism heal? How can tourism development serve as a catalyst to overcome social injustices and cultural divides? This book was originally published as a special issue of Community Development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses community-based approaches to developing and regenerating tourism destinations in the developing world, addressing this central issue in sustainable tourism practices.

Emphasis is placed on accruing relevant decision-support material, and creating services, products and management approaches that will endure and adapt as change necessitates. This will be of great interest to upper-level students, researchers and academics in the fields of tourism impacts, sustainability, ethics and development as well as the broader field of geography.

This book was released on 2020-12-20 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook offers an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of core themes and concepts in community-based tourism management. Providing interdisciplinary insights from leading international scholars, this is the first book to critically examine the current status of community-based tourism. Organised into five parts, the Handbook provides cutting-edge perspectives on issues such as Indigenous communities, tourism and the environment, sustainability, and the impact of digital communities. Part 1 introduces core concepts and methodologies, and distinguishes community products from other tourism and hospitality goods. Part 2 explores communities’ attitudes towards tourism development and their engagement with and ownership of the process. It also delves into the role of community- based tourism, under the influence of governmental policies, in the economic and social development of a region. In Part 3 various management, marketing, and branding initiatives are identified as a means of expanding the tourism business. Part 4 examines the negative impacts of mass tourism and its threats to culture, tradition, identity, the built environment, and natural heritage. In the final and fifth part, future challenges and opportunities for community-based tourism initiatives are considered, and research-based sustainable solutions are proposed. Overall, the book considers engaging local populations in tourism development as a way of building stronger and more resilient communities. This Handbook fills a void in the current research and thus will appeal to scholars, students, and practitioners interested in tourism management, tourism geography, business studies, development policy and practice, regional development, conservation, and sustainability.

Download or read book Introduction to Tourism written by Samuel V. Lankford and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-09 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Introduction to Community Tourism: A North American Perspective is intended to assist individuals and communities to consider the nature of tourism in a community context and its relationship to quality of life for the resident population in that community within the United States and Canada. Successful community-based tourism is characterized by resident acceptance of the industry through employment, support, and involvement. Furthermore, successful community tourism involves numerous collaborative partnerships; specifically resident groups, parks and recreation departments, chambers of commerce and visitors bureaus; and other civic organizations. Importantly, this text addresses the organization of tourism within communities that lie outside of the mass tourism markets. There is a focus on main streets, architectural character, destination attributes, and the inventory and management of those attributes. Specific attention is given to sustainability of the community and industry, to include planning, development, and marketing. An Introduction to Community Tourism: A North American Perspective examines the dynamics between social or economic development and the quality of life for residents in those special places blessed with natural, historic, and cultural resources. This book is a resource for students and professionals. From a teaching point of view, the book provides a structure for teaching tourism in a way that will enable students to understand and appreciate this complex industry. For professionals, the book provides information to help educate boards, commissions, and resident populations on the industry. Communities often seek ways to develop tourism for economic reasons. Therefore, this book will help these community leaders to better understand the conditions necessary for a successful community-based tourism industry. Embedded throughout the book are examples from different-sized communities to illustrate professional practice. Also included are learning objectives, myriad examples of tourism in communities, and useful online resources for the reader.
Book Synopsis Tourism in Destination Communities by : Shalini Singh
Download or read book Tourism in Destination Communities written by Shalini Singh and published by CABI. This book was released on 2003 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation. As a result of the ongoing growth in the tourism industry, many destinations around the world are undergoing transformations. New destinations are being 'discovered' in regions previously ignored, as people search for regions that are yet unspoiled by the ravages of mass tourism. At the same time, traditional destinations are experiencing rapid environmental, socio-cultural and economic modifications. These changes have the most effect on the destination community - the location where tourists spend their time and money, and influence development or degradation of the local environment.Tourism in Destination Communities describes both the positive and negative effects of tourism on the destination community. The chapters are divided into three sections which address the relationship between tourism and the destination community, the various impacts of tourism on the destination community and the challenges and opportunities for destination communities. Each chapter contains brief case studies and empirical examples.
Book Synopsis Rural Tourism Development by : E. Wanda George
Download or read book Rural Tourism Development written by E. Wanda George and published by Channel View Publications. This book was released on 2009-03-18 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rural tourism represents a merging of perhaps two of the most influential yet contradictory features of modern life. Not only are the forces of economic, social, cultural, environmental and political change working to redefine rural spaces the world over, but broad global transformations in consumption and transportation patterns are reshaping leisure behaviour and travel. For those concerned with both the nature of change in rural areas and tourism development, the dynamics and impacts of integrating these two dramatic shifts are not well known but yet are becoming increasingly provocative discourses for study. This book links changes at the local, rural community level to broader, more structural considerations of globalization and allows for a deeper, more theoretically sophisticated consideration of the various forces and features of rural tourism development. While Canadian in content, the cases and discussions presented in this book can be considered generally relevant to any rural region, continentally and globally, that has undertaken or is considering rural tourism development.

Book Synopsis Community Economic Empowerment in Tourism Development in The Kepulauan Seribu National Park by : Eva Rachmawati
Download or read book Community Economic Empowerment in Tourism Development in The Kepulauan Seribu National Park written by Eva Rachmawati and published by Syiah Kuala University Press. This book was released on 2022-02-25 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a small part of the research results with the theme of cultural-based community empowerment in the tourism context. This research was conducted at Harapan Island and Kelapa Dua Island. Both islands are part of the Kepulauan National Park. These two islands were chosen as research locations because the islands have a community with a distinctive culture, namely the “Pulo” Community (on Bugis Island) and the Bugis Community (on Kelapa Dua Island). This research was conducted to identify whether tourism development in the Kepulauan Seribu National Park could provide economic benefits for the people of the two islands. In addition, this study was also conducted to identify the effect of community involvement in tourism on people’s perceptions regarding the economic impact they feel. The aspect of community involvement is important to study because many researchers say that one of the factors that can increase the acceptance of benefits by the community is by being involved in its activities. This is important so that all relevant stakeholders can design the approriate strategy in increasing the economic benefits that can be received by local communities from tourism development that occurs in their area. This book consists of 6 chapters consisting of an introductory chapter; a research methods chapter; a chapter on literature review related to community empowerment and tourism development; a chapter explaining the general condition of the research location, a chapter on results and discussion, and a conclusion chapter.
