Download or read book Modelling Destination Competitiveness written by Geoffrey Ian Crouch and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The aim of this study was to develop an insight into the importance and impact of the attributes which shape the competitiveness of tourism destinations. Research since the early 1990s has gradually shed light on the nature and structure of destination competitiveness. Some of this research has focussed on particular elements of destination competitiveness, such as price competitiveness, while other research has aimed at developing a more comprehensive understanding of destination competitiveness. General theories of competitiveness have been assimilated and adapted, and conceptual models of destination competitiveness have been developed which tailors these general ideas and theories to the particular characteristics of the tourism industry. As a result, destination competitiveness theory has developed to the point that empirical study is now possible and desirable. In more recent years the conceptual models have been applied to analyse specific destinations or tourism markets. But one of the most pressing research needs is to understand better the relative importance of the attributes of competitiveness. Strategies for improving destination competitiveness must make decisions about where and how limited resources should be directed. Therefore, information which helps to identify which attributes are likely to influence competitiveness most effectively, are of considerable value." -- Publisher.

Download or read book Environment and Tourism written by Andrew Holden and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many people, holidays are an increasingly central feature of contemporary western society. The tourism industry has expanded rapidly since 1950, but this book poses the significant question of consequent environmental impacts: are environments being benefited or damaged, by the tourist who visit them? A well-balanced introductory text, this topical book on the relationships between tourism, society and the environment, examines 'tourism' and 'environment' in detail, and gives a historical overview of the growth of the tourism industry. It discusses how the tourism industry markets physical and cultural environments to be consumed by the tourist, and the consequences of the tourism they then attract. It explores: * how the economics of tourism can be adopted in a positive way to aid conservation * whether the concept of sustainability can be applied to tourism * provides a critique of the 'new' forms of tourism, that have developed in recent years. An extensive range of international case studies from both the developed and developing world are used to illustrate the theoretical ideas presented, and to aid the student, it includes end of chapter summaries, further reading guides and boxed vignettes focusing on contemporary environmental issues and debates.
