ABSTRACT This paper explores the critical issues regarding heritage guides’ professional competence development in Macao – a prominent tourist destination – by analysing the current competence development system. The data is collected through semi-structured interviews with professional heritage guides and trainers who lead the guide training programme in Macao. Additionally, official documents and previous research on related topics are reviewed. The study found that the guides, with experience ranging from 2 to 46 years, enhance their professional competence through both formal and informal processes. Three significant factors that impact their competence development are intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and constraints. Based on the findings, practical approaches are suggested for developing professional competence by taking advantage of the opportunities available in Macao. The study also proposes solutions to address the shortcomings and improve the system.

ABSTRACT Rural areas face the challenge of managing intangible heritage in ways that avoid problems such as the loss of authenticity linked to over-tourism, or living heritage becoming disconnected from the local community due to overprotection. This study explores an innovative method for promoting a participatory governance process for intangible heritage currently managed on a non-participatory basis, in that the local community establishes a consensual model of sustainable tourism development that promotes both the rural renaissance of the area and the preservation of its Intangible Cultural Heritage. This research explores the case of the ‘raiers’ (timber-raftmen) of La Pobla de Segur, an ancient trade of transporting timber by river, recently awarded Intangible World Heritage status by UNESCO. Methods include participant observation, interviews, and discussion groups. The local community felt empowered to find a consensus on how to manage this Intangible Cultural Heritage by focusing on sustainable tourism development that preserves heritage while contributing to the rural renaissance of the area. The local community eagerly engaged by putting forward proposals, indicating the importance of agreements and new initiatives.
摘要:农村地区面临着如何管理非物质遗产的挑战,以避免因过度旅游而失去真实性,或因过度保护而使活遗产与当地社区脱节等问题。本研究探索了一种创新的方法,以促进目前在非参与式基础上管理的非物质遗产的参与式治理过程,即当地社区建立一个协商一致的可持续旅游发展模式,促进该地区的农村复兴和非物质文化遗产的保护。这项研究探讨了La Pobla de Segur的“漂流者”(木材漂流者)的案例,这是一种古老的河流运输木材的贸易,最近被联合国教科文组织授予非物质世界遗产地位。方法包括参与者观察、访谈和讨论小组。当地社区感到有能力就如何管理这一非物质文化遗产达成共识,将重点放在保护遗产的可持续旅游发展上,同时为该地区的乡村复兴做出贡献。当地社区积极参与,提出建议,表明协议和新举措的重要性。

ABSTRACT Discussing Gibsland, Louisiana’s Authentic Bonnie and Clyde Festival as dark tourism, this article asks whether the site of two peoples’ extrajudicial killing constitutes a dark tourist destination. Dark tourism is tourism associated with death. Gibsland is where Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were ambushed, and extrajudicially killed, by a posse of law enforcement officers on 23 May 1934. Since 1993, there has been a festival in Gibsland commemorating the ambush, culminating in its reenactment. When Bonnie and Clyde’s bodies were displayed after the ambush, this demonstrated Foucault’s concept of punishment as a spectacle demonstrating the sovereign’s power to destroy those breaking the law and was an example of performative violence. When the actors pretending to be the dead Bonnie and Clyde pose after the reenactment, this demonstrates performed violence. When the spectators at the reenactment pose with the actors this demonstrates participation in punishment.

ABSTRACT Motivations to participate in diaspora tourism ‘birthright’ programs have widely encompassed themes of heritage exploration, including a desire to develop personalised attachments to people, places, and memories connected to ancestral heritage or a ‘homeland’. Despite the popularity of such programs among young members from the diaspora, the additional role that life course positioning plays in structuring motivation is less understood. In this paper, I analyse the motivations shared through semi-structured interviews with a group of young Hungarian-Australians who attended a 10-month ‘birthright’ diaspora program in Hungary. By applying a rite of passage lens to their stories, I highlight that uncertainties about the future, escaping the mundanity of everyday life, and the burden of impending adult responsibilities, were strong factors shaping their gap year motivations and overall view of the program. The paper thus encourages a more nuanced interpretation of diaspora tourism motivation through a liminal and youth transition context. It also prompts further thinking toward the role and representation of such programs as alternate rite of passage events, representing a critical point of transition between life stage endings and beginnings.
