Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of a series of annual reports which analyse trends in international tourism, this volume focuses on regional and subregional tourism flows and earnings in 2004 in the African region as a whole, and by individual country, including arrivals, receipts, hotel capacity and major source markets. In 2004, the region provided 4.4 per cent of the world's international tourist arrivals and 3.0 per cent of world receipts, with an overall growth rate in arrivals of 8.5 per cent and in receipts of 6.6 per cent. This good performance during 2004 was due to a number of factors, including the best economic growth rate in eight years, progress made towards the peaceful resolution of several regional conflicts, an increase in European visitors to the continent and a growth in new products such as ecotourism and sports tourism. There were significant variations between the performance of different regions in the continent however, with North and West Africa the most successful areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Introduction: This section of the paper will provide an outline of the aim and objectives of the dissertation and a rationale as to why the topic was chosen. Whilst there is much debate over the economical and environmental impacts that tourism entails; the impact of tourism eco-labelling remains an under researched terrain. This dissertation analyses environmental eco-labelling and its affect on German tourists. The aim is to find out to what degree eco-labelling plays a role in the tourism decision making of German tourists. The focus is on the Blue Flag, an eco-label for coastal areas and marinas. Aim and objectives: The principle aim of this dissertation is to analyse the affect of eco-labelling in tourism on the tourism decision making process of Germans travelling to Spanish coastal areas. In order to successfully achieve this aim, it was imperative to establish a set of objectives. The objectives of this dissertation are as follows: - To review the tourism eco-labelling process. - To identify environmental eco-labelling in Spain with the focus on coastal areas. - To determine the importance of eco-labelling for German tourists. - To examine the perception and knowledge of eco-labelling in coastal areas by German tourists travelling to Spain. - To develop a conclusion based on the findings concerning the impact of eco-labelling in Spain on German tourists. The first three objectives will be answered by reviewing and critically examining secondary literature, including academic literature and journals. This will provide an understanding into what previous literature has been published on the subject and will deliver an insight of opinions and perceptions from different authors that had addressed the topic earlier. In order to investigate the recent situation of the third objective and to gain an understanding of the fourth objective primary research will be undertaken. For the purpose of explaining reliability and theory of collecting data secondary literature will be examined and support the research. The fifth objective will be answered by reviewing and evaluating the preceding objectives and deliver a conclusion on the findings. Following appropriate methods, the objectives are discussed throughout each section of the paper. In order to provide a comprehensive research paper the initial second objective was excluded since it would extend the scope of this dissertation. The third objective is modified in a way that the [...]

Download or read book Spanish Tourism Geographies written by Asunción Blanco-Romero and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-09-30 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of the progress in Spanish tourism geography, particularly after the overlay of financial, pandemic and climate crisis, by the scrutiny of the different geographical areas and variables of analysis. It shows the diversity of geographical environments and their varied relationship with tourism, from the emptied inland regions to urban heritage in historic centres to coastal resorts. The book also introduces the analysis of the most important variables when studying the implications of Spanish tourist specialization. How are the beaches with intensive tourist use managed? What socio-spatial processes do leisure-rooted migrations involve? What are the labour conditions in the Spanish tourism industry? How does saving water boost tourism growth? The book offers answers through a methodological specificity of Spanish geography, which is highly oriented towards the analysis of public policies and even the proposal of new planning and methodology formulas that go beyond diagnostic studies. The domestic perspective, or that of insiders, of these scientists residing in Spain bestows them with special codes for conducting interpretations and analyses based on their everyday proximity to a territory characterised by its intense touristification. The tourism and real estate specialisation that Spanish society, together with its territory and institutions, have forged since the beginning of “developmentalism” permeates this scientific analysis. By providing a strong conceptual and empirical portrait, this book is a great resource for students and scholars in geography of tourism, as well as for social scientists and policy makers.
Download or read book Sustainable Ecotourism in Central America written by Andrew P. Miller and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable Ecotourism in Central America: Comparative Advantage in a Globalized World examines the factors necessary for Nicaragua, Panama, and Belize to implement an economic development model based on the growth of ecotourism and foreign direct investment. In order to determine what factors are necessary to implement this model, this book analyzes the state of ecotourism development in Costa Rica and the lessons that the Costa Rican case can provide for other Central American states. It also assesses the effects of globalization and the increasing implementation of free market policies on the development of ecotourism. The book ultimately argues that globalization and neoliberalism have made it more likely that states will be able to adopt a development model based on ecotourism and foreign direct investment due to the manner in which neoliberalism and globalization help to create ever-increasing economic interconnectedness and openness. While globalization has served to shrink the world and make it easier for people to travel, the economic openness of neoliberalism has facilitated global flows of both tourists and international capital into every corner of the world. Understanding the way globalization and neoliberalism interact with ecotourism development and foreign direct investment is the key to formulating policy recommendations for states in Central America to jumpstart their economic development.

Download or read book The IMLI Treatise On Global Ocean Governance written by David Joseph Attard and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-04 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) remains the cornerstone of global ocean governance. However, it lacks effective provisions or mechanisms to ensure that all ocean space and related problems are dealt with holistically. With seemingly no opportunity for revision due to the Conventions burdensome amendment provisions, complementary mechanisms dealing with such aspects of global ocean governance including maritime transport, fisheries, and marine environmental sustainability, have been developed under the aegis of the United Nations and other relevant international organizations. This approach is inherently fragmented and unable to achieve sustainable global ocean governance. In light of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 14, the IMLI Treatise proposes a new paradigm on the basis of integrated and cross-sectoral approach in order to realise a more effective and sustainable governance regime for the oceans. This volume focuses on the role of the UN Specialized Agencies towards the development of effective and sustainable ocean governance by looking at the more elaborate mechanisms they developed in order to achieve the desired objectives laid down in UNCLOS. From FAO to UNODC, the volume examines how they ensure sustainable development and how much coordination exists among them.

Download or read book Tourism and Nature Conservation in Malaysian National Parks written by Norman Backhaus and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2006 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malaysia features some of the most spectacular national parks in the world. The parks - most are hotspots of biodiversity - have become a major attraction for foreign and increasingly domestic tourists. Nature tourism is at the same time a source of revenues and a threat to the environmental integrity of conservation areas. This study - based on the theory of structuration and using a triangulation of methods - analyses (eco)tourism in Malaysian national parks from different angles by asking different groups of tourists and experts about their opinions, experiences and needs. In order to learn more about the often neglected group of domestic tourists a large survey was conducted in Kuala Lumpur. The needs of foreign individual and group travellers were analysed with a questionnaire in Gunung Mulu National Park. And experts of conservation and tourism (i.e. scientists, park managers, tour operators, exponents of NGOs) were asked to assess the state and potential of ecotourism in Malaysian national parks. Results show that the increasing heterogeneity and number of visitors and their different needs can put a strain on the environmental integrity of conservation areas. This study makes recommendations to mitigate such strains and to further sustainable tourism.

Book excerpt: 'Ecotourism' outlines the phenomenon of Ecotourism; its sources and its development as a concept. Conservation issues are now at the forefront of public opinion - Nature is calling us to its wilds and we are responding in droves. The decline of natural rainforests, loss of endangered species, global warming and land degradation have galvanised public support for conservation. The interest in Ecotourism and nature-orientated tourism has coincided with this worldwide concern Using relevant case studies, 'Ecotourism' examines the potential positive social and environmental benefits of Ecotourism and is ideal for both students of tourism and practitioners within the tourism industry. 'Ecotourism' will also be of interest to environmental groups, land managers, academics and planners. Indeed anyone interested in examining what Ecotourism is and how it may hold the potential to solve or at least mitigate several of the great problems of our age.
