Political philosophy is applied to analyze the democratic potential of tourism social media. This study shows that while these media have deliberative potential, they also reflect the post-political and post-democratic condition in tourism digital communication. This analysis is illustrated through the discussion of three metaphors: the menu, the stranger, and the tourist-light. The menu represents the increased invasion of lifeworlds by the commercialization and corporate regulation of the tourism social Web. The stranger symbolizes the weak accountability of online communities. The tourist-light embodies the relevance of hedonism in virtual worlds. Social media contributes to digital narcissism and support consumer centricity. Digital communication produces a sanitized version of tourism and entails a subtle constraint of political citizenship.

With the rapid emergence of ever more diverse forms of cultural tourism, sacred indigenous practices around the world are increasingly becoming part of the repertoire of experiences available in the global travel market. Particularly, the growing tourist use of sacred plants with psychoactive properties in shamanic contexts is a sensitive issue that is still under-researched. By implementing an ethnographic case study approach in the Mazatec town of Huautla de Jimenez (HDJ), Mexico, this study analyses the effects of the touristic commodification of sacred-plant ceremonies in the social capital of indigenous communities. Findings reveal that tensions and disputes based on differing aspirations between traditionalists and modernists residents of HDJ have emerged as a result of the commodification of sacred-mushroom rituals or veladas. The lack of trust relations among local stakeholders diminishes the collective capacity to implement community-based initiatives of cultural heritage conservation and sustainable tourism development, which is indicative of a fractured social capital. Although the effects of neo-shamanic tourism in HDJ match those of more traditional forms of tourism in rural and indigenous settings, the case study of HDJ exemplifies how the touristic commodification of culture has reached the most sacred and intimate cultural practices in the most remote corners of the world. Findings are placed on a global context to enhance a holistic understanding of how touristic commodification of intangible cultural heritage affects structural relations of social capital in destination communities.
随着文化旅游形式日益多样化的迅速出现,世界各地的神圣土著习俗日益成为全球旅游市场上可获得的各种体验的一部分。特别是,越来越多的游客在萨满教背景下使用具有精神活性的神圣植物,这是一个仍未得到充分研究的敏感问题。本研究以墨西哥的Huautla de Jimenez (HDJ)马萨特克镇为例,分析了当地土著社区社会资本中神圣植物仪式的旅游商品化的影响。调查结果显示,HDJ的传统主义者和现代主义者之间基于不同愿望的紧张关系和争端已经出现,这是神圣蘑菇仪式或veladas商品化的结果。地方利益相关者之间缺乏信任关系削弱了实施以社区为基础的文化遗产保护和可持续旅游发展倡议的集体能力,这表明社会资本断裂。虽然HDJ的新萨满教旅游的影响与农村和土著环境中更传统的旅游形式相匹配,但HDJ的案例研究举例说明了文化的旅游商品化如何影响到世界上最偏远角落最神圣和最亲密的文化习俗。研究结果放在全球背景下,以加强对非物质文化遗产的旅游商品化如何影响目的地社区社会资本结构关系的整体理解。

This paper deals with the empowerment of local residents and the economic development of the World Heritage (WH) site at Ban Chiang, Thailand; a prehistoric necropolis dating back to the first millennium BC. The site itself was added to the WH list in 1992, with the intention of safeguarding it from further looting by local inhabitants through the possible combination of restrictive laws and tourism-generated income. To ascertain the success of those policies three decades later, tourism activities and local community participation have been assessed in this study through GIS spatial analysis and a questionnaire survey based on the Resident Empowerment through Tourism Scale (RETS). The spatial analysis shows that no tourism activity has developed within the heritage property, which remains unvisited by tourists, while the questionnaire survey confirms that tourism and the related income potential for Ban Chiang residents are limited, but they are proud of the fact that Ban Chiang is a WH site, and strongly support tourism. The other negative aspects are the lack of political participation by the local community, and the lack of tourism skills, both of which limit any possible further development of the site. Based on such results, a theoretical framework for sustainable heritage development derived from Landorf’s research is elaborated in this study, employing all the various stages of sustainable heritage development and analysis tools from site assessment to the planning and development stages.

In many instances, tourism has begun to be perceived by touristic cities’ residents as an important problem. We examine the phenomenon of anti-tourism and in particular, the discourses of rejection and resistance against tourism in the city of Barcelona. Previous research has examined residents’ attitudes and behaviours towards tourism development both from a cognitive and emotional aspect, but we still lack a more qualitative, in-depth understanding of residents’ emotion discourses. Furthermore, for this research, a novel type of dataset has been analyzed, that is, discourses constructed in online media. In particular, the study was based on the analysis of the comment threads of news articles about the touristic impact on Barcelona. In total, 6,916 comments posted in online news articles were examined. This analysis also permitted to observe the interaction between two different actors, the media and the residents, and to see how residents respond to the media’s framings about tourism in Barcelona.

The advent of filmmaking provided a means for affective communication, whereby what was real and what was filmed became conflated, helping to create tourism imaginaries that, in turn, drove tourism. However, increased tourism created negative impacts, especially for charismatic subjects like whales that elicit strong emotional responses of connectedness in viewers. In the whale watching industry, getting too close to whales to satisfy visitor expectations has a major detrimental impact. Here, we test whether the very characteristics of film that have helped create the problem, might be used to fix the problem by re-creating tourism imaginaries and changing visitor expectations. We produced a video about sustainable whale watching using a formula designed specifically to enhance its affective and emotional qualities. Survey respondents were randomly assigned to Test and Control Groups, and shown the video either before or after recording their likelihood of going whale watching in the future. Those in both groups that were “Likely” or “Very Likely” to go whale watching, identified affective qualities of the video nearly identically. Elements of the video associated with affective communication (imagery of whales in their natural environment and authentic reactions of tourists seeing whales) were most liked equally by Test and Control Group subjects. However, significantly less of the Test Group found the imagery of close encounters between whales and humans to be their favorite aspect of the video, while significantly more of them noted that the clarity of the message or the way it was told (editing) were their most liked aspects. In sum, the affective features of filmmaking that influence tourism imaginaries, also offer the potential to thwart the negative effects of tourism by invoking changes in attitudinal and behavioral intentions that should lead to more sustainable tourism practices.

In this third of three cousin manuscripts on the call for disruptive qualitative research approaches, further treatment is proffered on the concerns and irritations that ‘soft science’ / 'subtle science' social scientists (and humanists, and posthumanists) are troubled by today. While the opening paper (by Hollinshead, Suleman, and Nair here in Tourism, Culture and Communication *) laid out the general case for the fit of disruptive qualitative research advances cum dissident interpretive research overtures in Tourism Studies to help atone for the field's long-recognised biases towards highly-economic / linear / empirical outlooks, the second paper (by Hollinshead, Suleman, and Vellah **) constituted a consolidation of the advanced social justice orientations being aired across the trio of manuscripts. In this third of the three bedfellow articles, the authors (Hollinshead, Suleman, and Lo) now provide further critique on the soft science constructions and the subtle science thinking that have been promoted within the landmark text on advanced qualitative and interpretive praxis by Brown, Carducci, and Kuby (entitled Disrupting Qualitative Inquiry). In this third manuscript, the need for such dissident developments within Tourism Studies is provided with respect to a number (ten) of common ontological issues encountered in research into tourism/travel today, such as the difficulty in researching the shadowy and indistinct 'unique ways' in which foreign peoples differ from each other. At the end of this third manuscript, a further fifteen terms are made manifest for the cumulative glossary being developed across the three companion manuscripts. These terms include ‘critical ethnography' (vis-a-vis the revised cognitive practices of tourism) and 'unsettlement' (vis-à-vis the rhetorics of futurity of tourism). This third paper — like its two predecessors — is notably Deleuzian in hue, although readers should spot the conceptual mark of (Arturo) Escobar (and considerations of pluriversality which emanate from 'The South') in places. * The Unsettlement of Tourism Studies: Positive Decolonisation, Deep Listening, and Dethinking today (Hollinshead, Suleman, and Nair [In Press: TCC])** The Reimagination of Tourism Studies: Positive Renewal, Restoration, and Revival Today (Hollinshead, Suleman, and Vellah [In Press: TCC])
在呼吁颠覆性定性研究方法的三份同类手稿中的第三份中,对“软科学”/“微妙科学”社会科学家(以及人文主义者和后人文主义者)今天所困扰的问题和愤怒进行了进一步的处理。虽然第一篇论文(由Hollinshead、Suleman和Nair撰写的《旅游、文化与传播》*)概述了旅游研究中颠覆性质的研究进展与不同的解释性研究提议相结合的总体案例,以帮助弥补该领域长期以来公认的高度经济/线性/实证前景的偏见,第二篇论文(由Hollinshead、Suleman,和维拉(Vellah **)构成了对先进社会正义取向的巩固,这些取向贯穿了三本手稿。在这三篇同室文章的第三篇中,作者(Hollinshead, Suleman和Lo)现在对布朗、卡杜奇和库比(题为“扰乱定性探究”)关于高级定性和解释性实践的里程碑式文本中所提倡的软科学结构和微妙科学思维进行了进一步的批评。在这第三份手稿中,针对当今旅游/旅行研究中遇到的一些(十个)常见本体论问题,提供了对旅游研究中这种不同发展的需求,例如在研究外国人彼此不同的模糊和模糊的“独特方式”方面的困难。在这第三个手稿的末尾,进一步的15个术语是为在三个同伴手稿中开发的累积术语表而显示的。这些术语包括“批判性人种学”(相对于修订后的旅游认知实践)和“不定居”(相对于-à-vis旅游业未来的修辞)。这第三篇论文——就像它的前两篇一样——在色彩上明显是德勒兹式的,尽管读者应该在某些地方发现(阿图罗)埃斯科瓦尔的概念标记(以及来自“南方”的多元化的考虑)。*旅游研究的不稳定:积极的去殖民化,深度倾听,和去思考今天(Hollinshead, Suleman, and Nair [In Press: TCC])**旅游研究的重新想象:积极的更新,恢复,和复兴今天(Hollinshead, Suleman, and Vellah [In Press: TCC])

This study explores the respective impacts of push and pull motivations on destination choices by Arab Emirati tourists, with emphasis on cultural aspects. The researchers evaluated the adequacy of Crompton’s socio-psychological and cultural model by examining why participants are drawn to destinations offering cultural contrasts to the norms prevalent in their usual places of residence. A qualitative approach was used to identify the aspects of destination choice that are most dependent on cultural context. It was concluded that pull factors should not be viewed in isolation because they operate alongside traveller cultural backgrounds in determining destination choices. Future researchers are encouraged to undertake further examinations of push and pull factors, taking full account of the hybridity of tourist motivations.
