Download or read book Religious Tourism in Northern Thailand written by Brooke Schedneck and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2021-06-18 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Temples are everywhere in Chiang Mai, filled with tourists as well as saffron-robed monks of all ages. The monks participate in daily urban life here as elsewhere in Thailand, where Buddhism is promoted, protected, and valued as a tourist attraction. Yet this mountain city offers more than a fleeting, commodified tourist experience, as the encounters between foreign visitors and Buddhist monks can have long-lasting effects on both parties. These religious contacts take place where economic motives, missionary zeal, and opportunities for cultural exchange coincide. Brooke Schedneck incorporates fieldwork and interviews with student monks and tourists to examine the innovative ways that Thai Buddhist temples offer foreign visitors spaces for religious instruction and popular in-person Monk Chat sessions in which tourists ask questions about Buddhism. Religious Tourism in Northern Thailand also considers how Thai monks perceive other religions and cultures and how they represent their own religion when interacting with tourists, resulting in a revealing study of how religious traditions adapt to an era of globalization.

Download or read book Tourism and Souvenirs written by Jenny Cave and published by Channel View Publications. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Souvenirs are part of global and local travel and tourism in all corners of the world. This book portrays souvenirs as expressions of culture and as triggers of cultural change. The volume provides critique and theorisation of souvenirs of places, people and experiences in the context of lives lived at the margins of society, politics, tourism flows and urbanisation. Case studies in sustainable tourism illustrate dynamic ways that consumers and suppliers use souvenirs to respond to, resist and (re)interpret global and local influences upon cultures across informal, hybrid and formal economies.

Download or read book Indigenous People and Economic Development written by Katia Iankova and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous peoples are an intrinsic part of countries like Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Finland, USA, India, Russia and almost all parts of South America and Africa. A considerable amount of research has been done during the twentieth century mainly by anthropologists, sociologists and linguists in order to describe, and document their traditional life style for the protection and safeguarding of their established knowledge, skills, languages and beliefs. These communities are engaging and adapting rapidly to the changing circumstances partly caused by post modernisation and the process of globalization. These have led them to aspire to better living standards, as well as preserving their uniqueness, approaches to environment, close proximity to social structures and communities. For at least the last two decades, patterns of increased economic activity by indigenous peoples in many countries have been viewed to be significantly on the rise. Indigenous People and Economic Development reveals some of the characteristics of this economic activity, 'coloured' by the unique regard and philosophy of life that indigenous people around the world have. The successes, difficulties and obstacles to economic development, their solutions and innovative practices in business - all of these elements, based on research findings, are discussed in this book and offer an inside view of the dynamics of the indigenous societies which are evolving in a globalised and highly interconnected contemporary world.

Download or read book Harold Innis and the North written by William J. Buxton and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harold Innis is widely understood as the proponent of the "Laurentian school" of historiography, which mapped Canadian development along an East-West axis. Harold Innis and the North turns the axis North-South by examining Innis's intense and abiding interest in the North, and providing new perspectives on this seminal figure in Canadian political economy and communication studies. This collection reveals that Innis's advocacy of the North was closely bound up with his vision of northern Canada as the site of a second industrial revolution based on mining, hydro-electric power, pulp and paper, and enabled by new forms of transportation. Long preoccupied with Canada's coming of age as a balanced and integrated industrial nation-state, Innis grappled with the same issues about the North in the Canadian nation that we are dealing with today. Chapters explore the breadth of Innis's northern activities, including his early studies of the fur trade, his biography of eighteenth-century explorer and cartographer Peter Pond, his review essays on the North for the Canadian Historical Review, his leadership of the Rockefeller-sponsored Arctic Survey, and his trip to the Soviet Union. Harold Innis and the North crafts a new narrative about the nature and scope of Innis's intellectual project and provides a unique appreciation of his multi-faceted professional identity.

Download or read book Place and Tourism Promotion written by Edmund Christopher Matotay and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2010-04-16 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities around the world adopt place promotion and marketing activities as one of their development strategies. They do this through engaging in selling their images through the use of sceneries like national parks, museums, historic monuments and flag institutions such as hotels and conference facilities. These sceneries and flag institutions act as symbols to profile and market these cities to the world for different socio-economic purposes. The present book exposes some findings derived from two major study objectives done in Tanzania. One of the the objectives was to find out different place promotion strategies in Arusha, and the other was to set out to find the impact of the place promotion strategies on tourism. Reasons for place promotion and the targets of the strategies are also widely covered in the book. In its specialized chapters, the book reveals that there are three major elements of place promotion in use in the northern Tanzanian tourist city of Arusha. These are national parks and game reserves located in Arusha like Arusha National Park, Manyara National Park, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The city of Arusha also uses flag institutions in and around Arusha like The Arusha International Conference Centre (AICC), Arusha Natural Museum, The Arusha Declaration Museum, The Cultural Villages of El-Kiding’a and best Hotels to profile itself to the world. Gratifyingly, the book exposes that the main reasons for these strategies are to boost tourism in the city and that most of the targets of these strategies are international tourists. Through the good use of the strategies, and the city revenues turnover, the region itself has been enormously popular and the number of visits to the attractive sceneries and flag institutions has been growing steadily over the years.
