ABSTRACT Temples are important religious sites within Chinese societies. While there is a considerable body of work on the development of religious tourism and the monastic community, little research has been conducted on the temple keeper community in Chinese folk-religion temples. Temple keepers are those who take care of daily temple operations and offer related secular services and cultural events to pilgrims and visitors. Meanwhile, they also have direct contact, communication, and interaction with visitors. It is argued that the temple keeper community plays important roles in religious tourism development. Macao, with a large number of folk temples of rich heritage value, has been chosen as the case context. Adopting qualitative research methods, this paper explores temple keepers’ services and roles in Macao’s temple site management and visitor experience. The study identified that temple keepers have four roles, which are temple attendant, temple representative, cultural knowledge broker, and destination ambassador. Suggestions are given for temple management and local government for adaptive strategies in cultural site management and to enrich the visitor experience in the destination.

ABSTRACT This exploratory research provides insights into the intersection between battlefield tourism and creative tourism in Portugal. Battlefield tourism focused on the Peninsular Wars (1807-1814) has drawn the attention of local stakeholders, although it is an under-researched academic theme. Furthermore, limited research has been undertaken about the links between battlefield tourism and creative tourism, despite its impact on communities, touristic experiences and themed events. As such, this study aims (i) to identify factors that contribute to enhancing heritage through battlefield tourism and how heritage-themed tourism events like re-enactments and historical recreations play an important role in the touristic activation of a community and (ii) to clarify the role of stakeholders, creative tourism experiences and tourist perceptions as part of battlefield tourism development. Through in-depth qualitative interviews with stakeholders (tourism agents, guides and tour operators), findings reveal that stakeholders value re-enactments and ‘living history’ as part of the creative experience, promoting interactive, diverse and more enriching contact with local cultures. Creative tourism appears as a key driver in the success of tourism in these destinations, enhancing the participation of local communities, network cooperation, sustainable development, local identity and memory. Finally, theoretical contributions and new lines of investigation are discussed.

ABSTRACT In 1959, a small plane carrying musicians Buddy Holly, J.P. ‘The Big Bopper’ Richardson, and Ritchie Valens crashed in a field near Clear Lake, Iowa. The crash forever linked the community with rock-n-roll’s first major tragedy and established Clear Lake as a dark tourism destination. Rather than trying to back away from their tragic past, Clear Lake has embraced its role in this tragedy and in music history, turning it into an opportunity to educate the public about musical heritage, working with families of the crash victims, the citizens, and working local policy and planning to accommodate the international public interest in Clear Lake’s tragic points of interest. The Clear Lake case, and cities who have similarly embraced their role as a dark tourism destination, provide precedent into how a community can embrace a tragic past to become not a place of dark tourism, but a place of celebration and education.

ABSTRACT Cultural tourism offers a pathway to community development and poverty eradication, particularly in developing countries and poor rural communities. In order to ensure that the benefits are spread equitably across the community and that cultural and environmental integrity is maintained over time, the active participation of community members supported by outside actors is essential. This paper explores the potential for community-based cultural tourism initiatives in three different regions of Nepal through a series of interviews with 18 experts in the Nepalese tourism industry. The list of tourism programmes suggested by the interviewees was interpreted through a community-based entrepreneurship model, focusing on the processes required to produce a sustainable cultural tourism product or service. The research furthers our understanding of the tourism industry in Nepal as well as providing guidance for the implementation of sustainable cultural tourism initiatives using community-based entrepreneurship.

ABSTRACT This study investigates the factors influencing heritage food tourists’ behavioural intentions and perceived destination image based on how heritage food consumption and experiential value affect their behavioural intention. A sample of 336 tourists was surveyed in Terengganu, Malaysia. The study hypotheses were investigated using partial-least square-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The results demonstrate that consumption and experiential value significantly predict tourists’ attitudes. In addition, their favourable attitude towards food significantly stimulates their perception of Terengganu's destination image and behavioural intention. This study demonstrates the importance of local food consumption value on tourists’ perceptions and behaviour, which is especially important in the promotion of heritage food tourism. The findings suggest ways for managers and practitioners in the culinary tourism industry to strategically market their offerings in order to increase demand for food tourism.

Heritage processes vary according to cultural, national, geographical, and historical contexts. This volume is unique in that it is dedicated to approaching the analysis of heritage through the concepts of social movements. Adapting the latest developments in the field of social movements, the chapters examine the formation, use and contestation of heritage by various official, non-official and activist players and the spaces where such ongoing negotiations and contestation take place. By bringing social movements into heritage studies, the book advocates a shift of perspective in understanding heritage, one that is no longer bound by (at times arbitrary) divisions such as those assumed between the state and people or between experts and non-experts.

ABSTRACT In the mid 1960s, UNESCO took on tourism development initiatives in both Turkey and Iran that were financed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The projects focused on restoration of historic zones to improve capacity for rural tourism, including concerts and festivals. These were Cold War efforts intended to sway hearts and minds in the countryside that built on earlier industrialization and concurrent militarization schemes. In Turkey, one modest 1965 initiative at Side paved the way for the South Antalya Tourism Infrastructure Project, a 1976 loan for $46.2 million from the World Bank. In Iran, $4 million resulted in the first UNESCO-UNDP tourism program of its kind to link an international tourism agenda with a country’s national development plan: a UNESCO corridor from Tabriz to Shiraz. Drawing from archives at UNESCO and the World Bank, we explore how these initial UNESCO-UNDP tourism programs offered a further buffer for the west to both Soviet and Arab spheres of influence. Through this lens, we argue that tourism development became a way that Turkey and Iran as well as UNESCO, UNDP, and the World Bank became entangled in and benefitted from Cold War security.
上世纪60年代中期，联合国教科文组织在联合国开发计划署(UNDP)的资助下，在土耳其和伊朗开展了旅游业发展计划。这些项目的重点是恢复历史区域，以提高乡村旅游的能力，包括音乐会和节日。这些都是冷战时期的努力，旨在动摇建立在早期工业化和同步军事化计划基础上的农村地区的人心。在土耳其，1965年在塞德的一项规模不大的倡议为1976年从世界银行获得4620万美元贷款的南安塔利亚旅游基础设施项目(South Antalya Tourism Infrastructure Project)铺平了道路。在伊朗，400万美元促成了教科文组织-开发计划署的第一个同类旅游方案，将国际旅游议程与一个国家的国家发展计划联系起来:从大不里士到设拉子的教科文组织走廊。从联合国教科文组织和世界银行的档案中，我们探讨了这些最初的联合国教科文组织-联合国开发计划署旅游项目如何为西方提供了一个进一步的缓冲，使西方免受苏联和阿拉伯势力范围的影响。通过这一视角，我们认为旅游发展成为土耳其和伊朗以及联合国教科文组织、联合国开发计划署和世界银行卷入并受益于冷战安全的一种方式。
