ABSTRACT This study aims to analyze the correlation between demographic and socioeconomic factors with indicators of overtourism with the residents' evasion in the high season. The results suggest that the economic cost indicator is the primary variable responsible for residents' evasion due to mobility, agglomeration, and temporary inflation. Behavioral aspects related to inappropriate behavior, vandalism, and delinquent behavior mainly affect the groups of higher education and income levels. The number of tourists is not necessarily the main factor in this perception of overtourism and points to the need for a shift in short-term thinking by the public and private sector, focusing not only on increasing profits and on the reduction of costs, but in the restructuring of master plans and dispersion of tourists through the promotion of other spaces in the cities. The study provides evidence that allows the public and private sectors to promote a better residents' quality of life.

ABSTRACT Residents’ support for tourism is essential for the tourism governance. Currently, knowledge of factors influencing tourism support is inconclusive. Studies applying social exchange theory reveal that tourism support is a function of perceived tourism impacts. However, studies suggest that social exchange theory applications insufficiently explain determinants of tourism support. Using the Value-Attitude-Behavior approach, and quality of life concept, we examine factors likely to predict support for tourism. Our results suggest that residents’ perceived tourism impacts are strong determinants of their support for tourism. Additionally, our results suggest that quality of life does not mediate the influence of attitudes concerning tourism impacts on tourism support. Results also suggest that positive and negative tourism impact attitudes fully mediate the influence of commodity value orientations on tourism support. However, such attitudes were not found to mediate the influence of ecocentric value orientations on support for tourism. We discuss the implications of these findings.

ABSTRACT Several well-maintained long-distance trails (LDTs) have been developed over the past 40 years since the establishment of the first country park in Hong Kong. These LDTs attract over 11 million visitors from Hong Kong and overseas annually. Most visitors enjoy hiking in the country parks and it becomes the most popular outdoor activity. This study evaluates the values of these hiking trails. Secondhand data from previous studies and reports are used to evaluate the values of long-distance hiking trails. The recreational, economic, social, and conservation values of these trails in country parks are explored and examined. The findings of this study highlight LDTs in the country parks offering enormous benefits for the community particularly during the post-Covid 19 that the LDTs provide an important recreational opportunity for local residents. Policy and management implications for the protection and development of protected areas are discussed, and suggestions for improvement are made.

ABSTRACT This paper elucidates upon ways in which my critical perspectives on tourism, heritage and culture have been shaped and underpinned by David’s academic contributions and mentorship. His own challenges on existing norms and values throughout his academic career have unmistakably influenced me to approach tourism and heritage as an area of critical enquiry in both research and teaching. Contrary to existing literature, I have repositioned the role of tourism in creating a safe area for political conflicts and tension, while challenging the power-laden rendering and top-down interpretations of the past in varying tourism contexts. In my research practice I have tried to respond to his call for more conceptually informed and methodologically grounded studies on tourism and heritage by way of developing a concrete conceptual framework with a multidisciplinary focus and employing a longer-term ethnography in studying various heritage sites and places.

ABSTRACT Building on David Harrison's critique of the concept, this essay describes the emergence of pro-poor tourism as a banner for development interventions focusing on poverty reduction. It reviews the application of the approach in practice, including through community-based tourism and encouraging the sector to benefit the poor through equity, employment and supply chains. Two decades on, while researchers continue to apply the term development agendas now seldom do – preferring focus on sustainable tourism and the Sustainable Development Goals. The COVID-19 pandemic has starkly revealed how important tourism had been to rural people's incomes, and the devastating effects when visitors disappeared. Resilient tourism enterprises have exhibited diverse products and income streams, and ethical operators have endeavoured to sustain livelihoods staff. Hence, although terminology has evolved, the pro-poor tourism mantra continues to provide a valuable lens through which to prioritise net-benefits to vulnerable members of societies.

David Harrison was a major intellectual figure in tourism studies whose work as a scholar, writer and educator made an enormous contribution to the sociology and anthropology of tourism and the political economy of tourism development. His legacy of published work is brought together in his final book, published only this year (Harrison, 2021). His was an unconventional career path compared to many of his academic contemporaries. Aged 16, David left school to work as a bank clerk, then as an HM Customs officer and finally as a teacher in a boys’ secondary school in a working class, increasingly diverse borough in West London that was beginning to experience mass immigration from south Asia. These early working experiences undoubtedly helped to shape both his undogmatic intellectual outlook and commitment to giving voice to the people who experience and enact tourism in everyday life, typically through ethnographic fieldwork. Aged 26, David enrolled at Goldsmith’s University of London in 1967 to read sociology. This was followed by a PhD in social anthropology at University College London, under the supervision of the Jamaican anthropologist, M. G. Smith, which he was duly awarded in 1975. Following his postgraduate ethnographic fieldwork in Grande Riviere, Trinidad, an area to which he later returned (Harrison, 1976; Harrison, 2007a), David took up a research fellowship looking at the impacts of tourism in the Caribbean at University College, Swansea, funded by what was then the Overseas Development Administration. It was at this point that his attention was increasingly being drawn towards tourism and its relationship to processes of modernization and development, principally in former British colonies and island states in the Caribbean, and later in sub-Saharan Africa and the Pacific region. A particular strength of David’s work lay in his ability to combine a keen eye for ethnographic detail with a theoretically inspired analysis of tourism’s relationship to the politics of development. This is demonstrated in his study of the packing and selling of “tradition” by the Swazi monarchy (Harrison, 1992), and later in his fascinating and nuanced examination of the World Heritage nomination process in the former colonial capital of Levuka in Fiji (Harrison, 2004a, 2004b). Furthermore, contrary to many of the economistic analyses that had been so prevalent up until that point, David was keen not so much to reject numerical-positivistic evaluation of tourism development but, rather, to view the dynamics of tourism development through a social and cultural lens. Having witnessed the birth pangs of modern mass tourism in the Caribbean during the 1970s and 1980s, one of David’s most significant contributions to tourism development thinking has been to interrogate the claims of modernization and dependency theory, drawing on critiques already developed in his first book, The Sociology of Modernization and Development (Harrison, 1988).

ABSTRACT Power and politics are crucial but often neglected topics in tourism scholarship. Issues of power particularly come to the fore when looking at what happens when the tourism sector responds to crises: this was very clear in the work that Professor David Harrison did examining the aftermath of several coup d’état in Fiji. His work provides a pathway to consider the more recent shocks in Fiji caused by the coronavirus pandemic. We examine how COVID-19 has impacted the Fijian tourism sector and people reliant on it, contrasting local examples of resilience with political responses that might be detrimental to the long-term recovery of Fiji’s economy. Tourism scholars need to move beyond apolitical analyses of the sector: all social scientists should be equipped to interrogate issues of power and politics in their research on tourism, just as David Harrison did in his work and in life in general.

ABSTRACT Tourism makes substantial contributions to the Anthropocene. However, the Anthropocene is highly uneven over space and time reflecting the uneven processes of capital accumulation. As a result, the Anthropocene, and tourism's role within it, is best understood as a system of power, profit and re/production in the web of life, what is referred to as the capitalocene. In other words, it is the relationship of tourism to the epoch of capitalism that can best characterise how tourism/capitalism is not just an economic system but also serves to exploit cheap natures, bodies, and ways of life to enable surplus extraction. This is done via different tourisms and the acceptance of the externalities that accrue from tourism. This paper therefore considers the inseparable connectivities between tourism and capitalism and its implications for how tourism is constructed in the managerial ecology of the SDGs and sustainable tourism and the ensuing contribution to ecocide.

ABSTRACT Tourism has long been explored through the lens of development theory. David Harrison was one of the earlier academics to do so, subsequently turning his attention to critiquing the relevance of such theory to tourism, concluding that although much tourism research has been framed within it, development theory has contributed little if anything to knowledge and understanding of the tourism-development nexus. Recognising David Harrison’s contribution to the field, this paper reviews his critique of development theory as related to tourism before going on to suggest that the increasingly popular notion of degrowth offers an alternative conceptual lens though which tourism and development may be viewed. More specifically, it argues that within the context of the global environmental crisis and the need to address growth-inspired excessive production and consumption, degrowth can be considered a viable approach to or theory of development that demands attention in the context of tourism.
