ABSTRACT Government agencies are only given the power to govern their administrative areas; however, long-distance trails usually span across different local governments and supervised by different central ministries. In Taiwan, trails with good-way marking are limited in the distance because there is no legislation neither a resource integration division on trail management. Taiwan Thousand Miles Trail Association (TMI Trail) is an NGO aims to promote long-distance trails. Since 2014, TMI has worked on the reconstruction of the Tamsui-Kavalan Historical and Cultural Trails. The trail system 300 km cultural route was built in the nineteenth century and now governed by eight government units. To Solve up-to-date problems, a public-private platform was created in 2016 and an annual great assembly is hosted in different cities. Today, many people hike on the trails and create great economi opportuines. Because of its success, a system of seven themed national greenways is planned, portraying the unique historical and cultural heritage.

ABSTRACT In 2020, the Brazilian National Protected Areas System (SNUC) completed two decades. It includes 12 categories of protected areas as well as ecological corridors. Although its implementation has brought conservation gains to Brazil, the SNUC has been managed more as a group of protected areas than in the systemic way it was conceived. Among other gaps needed to be filled, there is an increasing fragmentation of habitats and the difficulty of establishing landscape connectors between protected areas. In this context, the Brazilian Trails Network and Connectivity (REDE) is being implemented in coordination with the CONECTA Brazil program, based on three pillars: conservation, job and income generation and recreation. REDE is a conservation tool with the long-term objective of connecting all the protected areas in Brazil through trails contained in natural corridors. This paper will discuss the governance and the protection status of REDÉs Trails in order to achieve its set objectives.

ABSTRACT This study sought to establish the perceptions of the management of National Parks in South Africa and Zimbabwe with respect to making their parks universally accessible. This study was set against a background of many people with disabilities who are willing and financially able to patron national parks being denied the opportunity to do so due to various barriers. Using a qualitative approach, the researchers explored the views of the management of South African National Parks (SANPARKS) and Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZimParks) regarding the universal accessibility of National Parks. The study revealed that, generally, the management of the said parks appreciate the plight of people with disabilities who want to visit their parks and would have wanted the parks to be accessible to all people. However, the managers from SANPARKS seemed more willing and prepared to make their parks universally accessible compared to their counterparts from ZimParks.

ABSTRACT Tourism has been a major economic pillar in numerous cities. A sustainable tourism development is vital while residents’ support is the lynchpin of success. The current study examines if and how support for sustainable tourism development is affected by place perception. Specifically, the mediating role of place attachment and moderating role of length of residency were examined. Drawn from a survey with 568 Macao residents, results show that place perception was a significantly positive contributor to residents’ support because of the higher place attachment. While length of residency strengthened the positive place perception—place attachment link, the place attachment—support link was not contingent on length of residency. The findings enrich the literature by examining the determinants of support for sustainable tourism development, the underlying mechanism, and the alternative role of length of residency. Useful implications for destination governors are discussed.

ABSTRACT This paper explores the ecotourism potentials of Wuling mushroom rocks and boulders (WMRBs) in north western Ghana. The study employed a qualitative research approach covering 24 respondents. The results show that WMRBs' potentilas are the presence of beautiful geological and geomorphological formations interlaced with interesting local uses, myths, and availability of tourism infrastructure. Apart from the opportunity to protect local biodiversity, community members are also enthusiastic about developing the site since it will offer them jobs and recognition. However, there are some challenges and threats to ecotourism development in Wuling, including bureaucratic processes associated with tourism regulators and promoters, low investor interest, free access to the site and possible reprisal if tradtional sources of livelihood are truncated by the development of ecotourism facilities. To address these challenges, the paper recommends aggressive marketing of the potentials of WMRBs and sensitization to allay the fears of community members about ecotourism development.

ABSTRACT There is sufficient evidence in academic scholarship that points to the important role diaspora tourism plays for the economies of homeland communities and countries. Given previous research shows a decreased level of attachment to the homeland in the second generation of immigrants, this research seeks to explore the effects of childhood experiences on adult behaviours and outcomes in relation to diaspora tourism. The research reveals the important role played by families in transmitting knowledge, memories, traditions and other cultural practices to diaspora children. Destination Marketing Organisations (DMOs), however, are neglecting to engage this lucrative market partly because communication strategies are aimed at adults of the diaspora and not at children. Based on these findings, we propose DMOs take a child-centred approach by actively engaging diaspora children to devise tourism marketing strategies that are child-friendly.

ABSTRACT This paper analyses tourism-related transformations in Habana Vieja, the historic district of Cuba’s capital Havana, over the last three decades. It demonstrates the political background that fostered touristic development in Cuba besides its socio-cultural and economic consequences. While the expansion of tourism and the creation of private and market-based touristic segments were economic necessities in times of crisis, they also had negative impacts on the dwellers of Habana Vieja, such as increasing inequalities, the redistribution of social positions and opportunities as well as new forms of marginalisation. Our research indicates that the Office of the City Historian plays an outstanding role in both, Habana Vieja's restoration and touristification. Furthermore, we show that tourism's economic opportunities are spatially distributed unevenly, entailing increasing inequalities and dissatisfaction among the populace. Residents of tourism-favoured areas can even be affected by top-down displacements, excluding them from possibilities to earn decent incomes in tourism.

ABSTRACT The development of the food, drink and tobacco industry (FDTI) is essential to ensure food security, generate employment, and increase production output. In this study, we analyse the relationship between international tourism and FDTI in Mexico. The study used three Autoregressive Distributed Lag models which provide evidence that tourism, whether measured by the number of arrivals or by average expenditure, has a positive effect on FDTI growth. The results also revealed that depreciation of the Mexican peso has a positive effect on FDTI. These results suggest that international tourism has the potential to boost agribusiness and development in rural areas.

As COVID-19 has shown in a way unimaginable before it hit, tourism is susceptible to uncertainty and incidents that can directly impact the supply and demand of its discretionary products and services. Before the pandemic, consensus had been reached among practitioners and academics that consumer experience is more important than ever for enterprises as well as destinations, as the sector had become globalized, reached maturity and became highly competitive. Tourism came to a grinding halt due to the pandemic and recovery may take years. Still, the pathway to success (or failure) lies on the overall satisfaction of visitors and tourists, which heavily depends on perceived value; a concept that can be co-created or co-destroyed by the very interaction between all social actors and stakeholders involved. Value creation or destruction is critical not just for traditional supply of and demand for, but also for an array of actors across value and distribution chains (including for example staff and intermediaries across the networks). The special issue’s aim was to assist the better understanding of value co-creation and co-destruction in tourism development by bringing together different perspectives and disciplines. Judging from the diversity of the theoretical perspectives of the articles collected in this issue and the richness of the presented findings the special issue has indeed achieved its aim. Yet some real trends could be distinguished: the relevance of online communication and information; the importance of interpersonal encounters and social interaction for value co-creation and co-destruction in tourism; and the challenges in the design and delivery process of co-created experiences.
