ABSTRACT Tourism has long been perceived as a passport to development in Pacific Island Countries and Territories. That much is generally accepted. But how it contributes to sustainable development and what type of tourism is most appropriate to contribute to sustainable tourism development in a globalised world is much more contested. This contribution may well be significantly reshaped through existential crises such as climate disaster and pandemics. This paper draws out several of David Harrison’s challenges to accepted thinking about sustainable tourism development: how tourism contributes to poverty alleviation; how the scale of tourism impacts sustainable tourism development and the role international tourism plays in a globalised interconnected world are the three issues that are examined. Through critically analyzing these issues, a more nuanced approach, as outlined by Harrison, more accurately reflects the situation and offers grounds for better scholarship.

ABSTRACT There are an increasing number of studies examining the tourist attitude—behavioural intention process; however, the lack of empirical examination of the mediating role of attitude to behaviour is still evident in the tourism literature. This study is aimed at examining the mediating role of tourist attitude to visiting behaviour in the relationship between destination evaluative factors and tourist behavioural intention—revisit, recommend, and word-of-mouth. Data were collected by a personal-administered survey of 603 tourists who had visited major beach destinations in Bangladesh. A PLS-based SEM was applied to analyse the data. The results signify that tourist attitude to visiting behaviour significantly mediated the relationship between destination image, perceived value, satisfaction, and behavioural intention while it had no mediating effect between perceived risks and behavioural intention. The findings provide practical implications and theoretical knowledge for tourism managers and practitioners, particularly in beach tourism settings.

ABSTRACT Measurement of people’s sustainable wellbeing is important for monitoring and evaluating economic activities. Therefore, there is a need for a statistical approach capturing population’s sustainable wellbeing to complement measures of market activities. Since there are several dimensions of wellbeing, this paper pioneers the measurement of material wellbeing in Tanzania by studying the dynamic relationship between tourism development, agricultural growth, and per capita household final consumption expenditure during 1990–2017. The Vector Autoregressive model and Impulse Response Function reveal that tourism development has a significant positive impact on overall wellbeing of the population, but the country needs grassroots people-focused policies to translate tourism growth into improved wellbeing of the poorest. Further, promoting the production and consumption of tourism products integrates other sectors in the production process and leads to multiple benefits to the poor.

ABSTRACT Older adults with visual impairment desire to travel, and they need specific support to participate in traveling. This study explored the travel experience of 12 older Taiwanese adults with visual impairment. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data, including traveling experience, difficulties encountered, the impact of ageing, and specific needs. The principles of grounded theory were used to analyze the data, and four themes were identified. First, older adults with visual impairment wanted to explore the world, improve their mood, gain self-confidence, and foster interpersonal connections through traveling. Second, adjustment to visual impairment and ageing was the basics for traveling. Third, they encountered interpersonal and environmental barriers while traveling. Fourth, they needed a traveling companion to provide practical and psychological support. Older adults with visual impairment needed psychological, practical, and environmental support to ensure trouble-free traveling.

ABSTRACT Tourism operators play an important role in risk communication during a natural disaster. This study focussed on foreign employees in the Japanese accommodation industry and explored their preparedness for natural disasters and involvement in the disaster risk communication process. Adopting the mental models approach as the basis for the investigation, semi-structured interviews were conducted with foreign employees working at traditional Japanese-style inns (ryokan). The results indicated that foreign workers often do not receive training on how to handle natural disasters at work and are excluded from the risk communication process. Furthermore, their knowledge of local hazards was limited. As this is a timely and important topic, future research directions are proposed to extend discussion on this topic further.

ABSTRACT Recently, resilience has been highlighted in tourism studies. This article examines resilience through a social innovation framework which includes identifying the needs for and envisioning ways of building resilience, emphasizing collaboration, and co-creating outcomes. The aim is to explore the role of social innovations in local resilience-building. Ethnographic insights are drawn from Kemi, Finland, where tourism is faced with challenges, which has created visions of how tourism could develop differently. Tourism actors’ needs and visions regarding tourism t and perceptions on cooperation are analyzed with a case of a tourism diversification project on the island of Laitakari. It is concluded that a social innovation framework can help in conceptualizing resilience-building and potentially enhance the sustainability of tourism. This can take place by enhancing diversification and inclusion of local culture, constructing multi-sectoral and communal dialogue, and identifying environmentally friendly visions for long-term resilience. The Laitakari case demonstrates this kind of development process.

ABSTRACT Long distance trails offer distinctive opportunities for people to connect with natural and cultural heritage through recreation, tourism, and stewardship. Such connections can lead to broad support for conservation goals. In the United States, National Scenic Trails (NSTs) promote community engagement in trail planning, development, maintenance, and management. Governance of these multi-jurisdictional trails occurs through a diverse array of governmental and non-governmental actors. We conducted interviews (n=17) with federal trail administrators and non-governmental trail organizations to trail management and administration. A social-ecological systems framework helped us to examine power relations and dynamics in the NST network and identify the role that trails play in fostering community resilience. We observe that the NST governance model emphasizes partnerships with established non-governmental organizations and leverages relationships of these partners with community-based stewardship organizations. Targeted engagement of local partners may strengthen the NST system while improving opportunities for tourism development and community resilience.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to examine the community’s trust in government and the levels of community involvement and participation in Ecotourism. The study employed a social capital and mixed-method research approach, based on two case study areas in Cameroon: the Mount Cameroon National Park (MCNP) and the Douala Edea Wildlife Reserve (DEWR). Key findings of the study suggest that levels of community involvement and participation in ecotourism were low in general, but the community perceptions of trust in the government have remained relatively positive. It is recommended that further research on this topic be conducted to gain a deeper insight into issues related to perceptions of trust, the involvement and participation of communities in the ecotourism sector, and how the nuanced sociopolitical context in Cameroon contributes to these issues. In doing so, an effective and dedicated ecotourism policy may be formulated to guide the strategic growth of the subsector.
