Download or read book Fair Trade in Tourism a Critical Discourse Analysis of the Promotion of Fair Trade Certification in Tourism by Wholesalers and Certification Programmes written by N. van Gelder and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tourism has been commonly defined as a damaging industry. Alternative forms of tourism arose in the last 20 years. ‘Fair Trade in tourism’ is a new concept in the alternative tourism sector. It ultimately addresses the imbalances in trade and tries to solve economic, as well as social, related problems through a trade approach. This study seeks to understand how ‘Fair Trade in tourism’ is represented by different agents of certification, namely the certification programmes and the wholesalers. The study aims to examine how meaning is given to ‘Fair Trade in tourism’ and how language and concepts are used by these different agents to represent this meaning. An analysis of the representations will be used to interpret the current on-going discourse in the promotion of ‘Fair Trade in tourism’ and the social context of this discourse. This discourse will be used to define a ‘common language’ of key words and to advice on a more meaningful and effective way to promote ‘Fair Trade in tourism’.

Download or read book Tourism and Sustainability written by Martin Mowforth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-09-22 with total page 663 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If unequal opportunities are large within many countries they are truly staggering on a global scale", so concludes the World Bank’s 2006 World Development Report. It is a global unevenness within which the barriers to in-migration of Third World migrants to wealthy first world nations go ever higher, whilst the barriers to travel in the reverse direction are all but extinct. So how exactly can tourism contribute to narrowing this glaring inequality and gap between the rich and the poor? Are ever expanding tourism markets – and the new, responsible, forms of tourism in particular – a smoke free, socio-culturally sensitive form of human industrialisation? Is alternative tourism really a credible lever for lifting poverty stricken countries out of the mire of global inequality, setting them on the right track to ‘development’, and making poverty history? Tourism and Sustainability critically explores and challenges what have emerged as the most significant universal geopolitical norms of the last half century – development, globalization and sustainability – and through the lens of new forms of tourism demonstrates how we can better understand and get to grips with the rapidly changing new global order. This third edition has been extensively updated and includes new material on: poverty reduction, livelihoods and pro-poor tourism new forms of tourism in cities continuing growth of the fair trade movement tourism’s contribution to climate change volunteer and ‘gap’ tourism affect of disasters on new tourism. Drawing on a range of examples from across the Third World, Tourism and Sustainability illustrates the social, economic and environmental conditions for the growth of new tourism. The book is original in its assessment of tourism through the lens of power – who holds it; how it is used; and who benefits from the exercise of power in the tourism industry. Additionally, the analysis is an interdisciplinary one and the book will therefore be useful to students of Human Geography, Environmental Sciences and Studies, Politics, Development Studies, Anthropology and Business Studies as well as Tourism itself.
Download or read book Managing Ethical Consumption in Tourism written by Clare Weeden and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-05 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neither the tourism industry nor the tourist has responded convincingly to calls for more responsibility in tourism. Ethical consumption places pressure on travellers to manage a large number of decisions at a time when hedonic motivations threaten to override other priorities. Unsurprisingly, tensions occur and compromises are made. This book offers new insight into the motivations that influence tourists and their decision-making. It explores how consumers navigate the responsible tourism market place and provide a rich understanding of the challenges facing those seeking to encourage travellers to become responsible. Not only will the book provide an improved interpretation of the complexity of ethical consumption in tourism, but it will also offer a variety of stakeholders a deeper understanding of: the key challenges facing stakeholders in the production and consumption of responsible tourism how ethical consumers can be influenced to consume ethically the gaps in consumer knowledge and how to broaden the appeal for individuals to make more informed ethical decisions how tour operators can respond to this emerging market by innovative product development how to design informative marketing communications to encourage a greater uptake for responsible holidays how destinations can tailor their products to the ethical consumer market how destination communities and management organisations can target responsible tourists through the provision of sustainable alternatives to mass-market holiday products. Written by leading academics from all over the world, this timely and important volume will be valuable reading for ubdergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers and academics interested in Tourism Ethics, Ethical Consumption and the global issue of Sustainability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature of tourism is complex. It reaches across multiple sectors, effects millions of people (for better or for worse) and appears to be an unstoppable force in the modern world. While tourism is widely seen as a sector especially well suited to poverty reduction, the industry is rife with problems. It facilitates the destruction of natural resources, commodifies people and culture, perpetuates low-wage and seasonal jobs, stresses infrastructure and displaces local populations (McLaren 2003; Black and Crabtree, 2007, Tourism Concern, 2008). Regardless, the expanding nature of globalization and the undeniable vitality tourism revenue can bring to a nation0́9s economy leave most governments with no choice but to promote the sector. Jordan is no exception. In answer to this quagmire, movements have arisen in order to create sustainability in the sector. There are many niches in reformative tourism, including ecotourism, sustainable tourism, propoor tourism, justice tourism and responsible tourism (to name a few). However, they all purport in some way to minimize environmental harm and/or provide direct benefit to the poor through tourism. Fair trade tourism is one of the newest of these niches. Fair Trade Jordan is a Jordanian non profit initiative established in 2005, which proposes to establish a new 0́−Fair Trade Tourism0́+ certification scheme. The broad aims of this scheme are to: 0́Ø Mainstream the principles of Fair Trade and responsible tourism throughout the Jordanian tourism economy; and 0́Ø Support small-scale / community-based tourism enterprises to access markets and improve the quality and sustainability of their operations. This report outlines the tourism environment in Jordan, highlighting the problems unique to the Kingdom, such as resource poverty, lack of investment in reform among stake holders, lack of credibility among existing sustainable tourism products and a constraining government. The challenges speak of the necessity of a fair trade tourism project. Through interviews with various stake holders, several main areas of reformative priority have been extracted: education and awareness about how to create sustainability, unity and cooperation in this multi-sector industry, market access for small and medium enterprises and advocacy for a more conducive business environment. This report analyzes Fair Trade Tourism Jordan0́9s current state and provides a set of recommendations for establishing such a certification scheme, based on fieldwork conducted in Jordan during September 2007 and June 2008, interviews with various stake holders, extensive desktop research and ongoing stake holder engagement. It applauds Fair Trade Jordan0́9s current efforts thus far and merely emphases a number of Fair Trade Jordan0́9s future plans. It encourages Fair Trade Jordan to continue with much of its current work such as reducing entry barriers through a sliding-scale certification system and providing small and medium enterprises with access to loans and training. It recommends reducing reliance on voluntary participation from certain stake holders, as a lack of interest in the industry will only lead to a small support base willing to perform tasks, increasing Fair Trade Jordan0́9s staff in order to complete proposed activities, and advocating for more beneficial government legislation. Building capacity for a fair trade tourism certification system is a slow process, but worth the investment. However, it is sometimes difficult to focus on long-term capacity-building when stake holders are living hand-to-mouth and demand immediate monetary return. Still, based on existing certifying organizations such as Fair Trade Tourism South Africa, the system can positively benefit the industry. Fair Trade Jordan now has to convince its stake holders of this.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the tourist industry becomes increasingly important to communities around the world, the need to develop tourism sustainably has also become a primary concern. This collection of international case-studies addresses this crucial issue by asking what local communities can contribute to sustainable tourism, and what sustainability can offer local communities. Individually these investigations present a wealth of original research and source material. Collectively the book illuminates the term 'community', the meaning of which, it is argued, is vital to understanding how sustainable tourism development can be implemented in practice.

Download or read book Planning and Managing the Experience Economy in Tourism written by Augusto Costa, Rui and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-12-03 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tourism is facing a new paradigm that has been brought on by the introduction of experiences in the development, management, and promotion of tourism. Associating experiences to tourism destination and products allows tourists to relate to their vacations differently and helps to fuel a destination’s competitiveness and compliance with new needs and motivations that are being driven by the tourists. When properly design, managed, and developed, tourism experiences can contribute to the destination’s overall sustainability by maximining tourism’s positive impacts and fostering their spillover to local communities. Planning and Managing the Experience Economy in Tourism is an essential reference book that seeks to advance research on tourism experience as well as investigate how tourism experiences can create and increase tourism competitiveness. The book explores how the experience concept has evolved in the last decade, alongside the needs and motivations of consumers, and how it can be conceptualized, designed, managed, and implemented both at the tourism firm and destination levels. Delving further into concepts like creative tourism, destination attributes, and smart experiences, this book serves as a dynamic resource for travel agencies, tourism managers, tourism professionals, marketers, destination managers, government officials, policymakers, academicians, students, tourism officials, planners, and researchers.
