Adapted to survive in the interface between land and sea, mangroves are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. They are also highly adaptive to the imagination, with the theme of the mangrove being differently signified across texts, languages and communities as a place to find death in the tropics, a nature tourism destination, endangered environment, magical wood, refuge for maroons and revolutionaries, and source of livelihoods. The cultural malleability of mangroves mirrors their natural adaptability. It also echoes the varied and rhizomatic identities and imaginaries of the peoples of the tropical Americas. Relevant cultural texts produced in the region support experimentations with mangroves as a raw material susceptible to being worked in order to explain diverse realities. In order to highlight the relevance and malleability of mangrove ecosystems, this paper explores resignifications of socioecological interactions at the Ecological Mangrove Reserve Cayapas-Mataje in Ecuador through the lens of photographer Felipe Jácome. Jácome’s photographic essay Los Reyes del Manglar [The Kings of the Mangrove] provides rich material to study the rhizomatic evolution of the theme of the mangrove and its entanglements with people’s lives, cultures and histories. I argue that cultural representations of mangroves can go beyond their metaphorical recovery to support environmental justice. This essay is also informed by extant research on the important role of mangrove forests for carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation, which locates these socioecological systems at the centre of people’s struggle for climate justice.

Abstract Nowadays, health tourism has emerged as a multi-billion-dollar industry due to the fact that people have frequently traveled in order to improve their wellbeing. The internationalization of health tourism has also motivated production and consumption of healthcare services as well as increased variety of intermediaries and ancillary goods and services to support this sector. Although the significant benefits of health tourism, its actual contribution to economic growth and related issues have remained ambiguous. Therefore, this paper aims to: (i) Discuss the potential economic aspects of health tourism based on the published figures of major destinations in Asia Pacific with an international focus and (ii) Examine the economic risks related to health tourism that either directly or indirectly harm the process of economic growth. The results indicate that development of health tourism satisfies patients’ demand for high quality healthcare at competitive prices, boosts the value of foreign exchange inflow and expands job opportunities. Health tourism services have become the subject of international earnings which has elevated economic opportunities of potential destinations. Besides that, increasing international health tourist flows with high income could evaluate costs of healthcare services, brain drain of healthcare professionals, inequitable health care access. Additionally, increases in international traveling might produce a new economic burden of communicable diseases, environmental degradation; brokers and organ transplants associated with black-market in some destinations. Hence, sustainability and responsibility have been considered as key criteria in the health tourism industry in order to improve tourists’ health performance and maximize benefits for local communities. Such economic analysis also enables us to evaluate benefits and losses from health tourism development and track the balance of trade around this economic sector.

Full textAbstract:
Since the 1940s, the Costalegre, on the Pacific coast of Mexico, has been recognized as having a high potential for tourism. The aim of this paper is to understand tourism governance in a place where past and emergent luxury tourism co-exists with small-scale tourism in a largely rural and ecologically important landscape. We conducted in-depth interviews with 29 different stakeholders and administered a questionnaire survey to 27 tourist establishment owners and employees. We also held a workshop with 11 families from three rural communities and administered another questionnaire to a further 125 people from the same localities. Policy document analysis and participant observation completed the research. We found there to be strong discrepancies between the federal government’s legal framework for tourism development and local views and attributes for action. Owners and new investors in luxury tourism developments are well organized and have the economic and political power to obtain authorization for their projects, even in cases where the projects have received negative assessments from environmental scientists. We discuss how an ineffective local governance mode enables the wealthy part of the private sector to prevail, jeopardizing the construction of a regional strategy that is socially just and takes into account the needs of local residents.

In the mature aviation system of today, it is difficult to establish new hubs that focus solely on transfer traffic. This paper identifies a new type of hub—a natural tourism hub—one at which an airline and the surrounding metropolitan area can simultaneously benefit from a transportation hub and accompanying tourist destination, respectively. The study aims to identify existing airports for these stopover locations that are located on highly trafficked international flight routes. Using Iceland as an example, this country’s success in optimizing its stopover location to promote tourism and gain airline passenger demand is examined. The analysis is carried out by implementing a k-means clustering algorithm on total distance added for stopover locations, as well as flight leg symmetry to identify existing airports that are geographically located in an optimal stopover path for international routes across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and between Europe and East Asia. Airports in the clusters that minimize total added distance are then observed, and the clusters are ordered based on how symmetric the two flight legs of a stopover journey at an airport in that cluster tend to be. In addition, three airports near the top of this list are analyzed as potential stopover locations. In using this algorithm, not only is it possible to forecast which hubs may become major tourist destinations, but also to identify how airlines can shape people’s perception of their location as a tourist destination.

<p class="Abstract">In 2007 Bandung was designated as a pilot project for the creative cities of Asia Pacific, and in 2015 Bandung was included in the UNESCO Creative Cities Network. It is related to the development of the city of Bandung and the creativity of the population. Its creativity is formed through a process. This article traces the roots of this creativity since the beginning of its formation in the early 19th century to become the city of Bandung in the early 20th century. The method used is the historical method supported by creative cities’ and voluntary organization’s concepts. Primary sources were official government archives, tourist guidebooks, magazines, and newspapers. The result shows that the roots of the creativity of the Bandung population have been formed since the colonial period, both individually and in groups. Through the synergy between the community and leaders in the city of Bandung, they are incorporated into organizations whose initial goals are for the welfare of the people of Bandung, then develop introducing the city of Bandung for people from outside Bandung in tourism activities. They prepared several infrastructure facilities and built tourism objects for both citizens and tourists.</p>

Full textAbstract:
An understanding of visitors’ travel desires and experiences are vital in two ways- to adjust destination’s marketing strategies in order to meet the expectation and demand of the travel market and to ensure sustainability of both physical and social attributes of the place. In this sense, this paper evaluated the travel decision and experiences of visitors in the islands of Caramoan considered as one of the Philippines’ uncontaminated and unspoiled natural areas branding it as a “Hidden paradise in the Pacific”. Using a questionnaire-based survey administered to onsite visitors in a descriptive method of research, the islands are visited by tourists due to their desire for nature-based and eco-adventure tour. Their experiences with the destination’s products, services, and hospitality were generally good with emphasis on the accessibility to natural attractions and religious sites, friendliness of the people service providers, suitable weather condition, and organized excursions. With its continued growth, provision of additional nature-based sports activities, and other tourism products and themes should be designed and developed to create diverse recreational participation. In the same way, improving the frontline tourist facilities as well as tourism frontline services is needed to deliver more meaningful visitor experience.

Full textAbstract:
Electronic sports (e-sports) is a competitive online game activity which has been approved as a sport by the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) since 2017. The great interest of the world community, especially young people in e-sports, has made the industry developed into sports tourism and entertainment with the concept of digital tourism, organized in the form of national and international scale events. The Covid-19 pandemic has hampered various tourist activities, including e-sports events around the world. The design of this research is a qualitative descriptive literature review through case studies of e-sports events associated with the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. The results of the study show that the COVID-19 pandemic followed by a large-scale social restriction has encouraged adaptation in the e-sports industry through the implementation of online e-sports events (streaming) which has an impact on the success of this industry to survive and even grow into a creative industry sub-sector that is proven to be able to thrive during the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in the market ranking of the Indonesian e-sports industry from 16th in Southeast Asia in 2017 to the largest in Asia Pacific, and even 12th in the world in 2020 has shown the great potential of the e-sports event creative industry to move the wheels of the tourism industry which was on the ground during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia.

Full textAbstract:
This qualitative study of representative bureaucracy examines the extension and limitations of liberal democratic rights by connecting environmental and social history with policy, individual decision making, gender, race, and class in American history. It documents major cultural shifts in a homogeneous patriarchal organization, constraints, advancement, and the historical agency of women and minorities. "Creating a Multicultural Forest Service" identifies a relationship between natural and human resources and tells a story of expanding and contracting civil liberties that shifted over time from women and people of color to include the differently-abled and LGBT communities. It includes oral history as a key to uncovering individual decision points, relational networks, organizational activism, and human/nature relations to shape meaningful explanations of historical institutional change. With gender and race as primary categories, this inquiry forms a history that is critical to understanding federal bureaucratic efforts to meet workforce diversity goals in natural resource organizations.

Full textAbstract:
Tourism is a complex industry with extensive value chains and is frequently engaged as a tool to increase economic growth and development in the Pacific. With the ability to leverage exposure to international markets and facilitate opportunities to increase domestic income while showcasing the unique cultural and social environments of developing communities, tourism offers a progressive foundation for growth. However, how benefits are generated, for whom and in what respects remain highly debated. Limitations to existing evaluation methods have resulted in uncertainties about benefits to developing communities with current academic debates suggesting more sophisticated and context-specific approaches which can adapt to changing environments, capture stakeholders’ views and incorporate methods such as the realist evaluation methodology are required.
The research question analysed in this thesis was “What are the advantages of using the realist evaluation methodology when assessing benefits to developing communities through tourism?”. To answer the question, three components of the realist evaluation methodology were applied to examine benefits from tourism in the Solomon Islands. Several pre-existing challenges to benefit developing communities through tourism interventions were identified in a review of literature, confirming limitations to current evaluation methods used to assess development interventions. Subsequently, three subquestions were developed:
1.Are evaluation methods used to support tourism interventions in the Solomon Islands?
2.What are the considerations for developing an evaluation tool to increase benefits to developing communities through tourism interventions in the Solomon Islands?
3.How can using the realist evaluation methodology to evaluate tourism interventions increase benefits to developing communities?
Through a mixed methods approach using inductive research methods over two stages, this research examined the advantages of using the realist evaluation methodology to assess tourism as an intervention in a developing country. To capture the contextual layers of stakeholders working in and servicing tourism in the Solomon Islands, survey and focus group participants were recruited using stratified sampling. The Context, Mechanism and Outcome configuration was used to assess the context in which benefits were being generated through tourism and the expected outcomes by stakeholders about the benefits and beneficiaries of tourism interventions. Furthermore, this research has demonstrated how a holistic understanding to increase the effectiveness of tourism interventions can be delivered by evaluating what works, for whom, how and in what circumstances and respects?
Realism is a philosophy which sits between positivism, a thing that exists in the real world which can be directly observed and facts can be derived from, and constructivism, referred to as being formed from observations and scrutinised through human senses and the human brain (Pawson, 2006). To the researcher’s knowledge, the realist evaluation methodology which derives from realism, has not previously been used in the Pacific to evaluate tourism interventions. Applying a realist lens, this research has examined the interrelationships between benefits, beneficiaries and impacts from tourism in a developing country. As a sophisticated method, the realist evaluation methodology can overcome some of the existing limitations experienced with frequently applied models including the logical framework, participatory evaluation and impact assessment. These difficulties include applying results and effecting changes in policy and programs, inflexible approaches with predetermined outcomes, a lack of focus on beneficiaries and high costs resulting in reduced benefits.
Using a realist approach demonstrated the methodology provided the ability to apply results and develop evidence to inform changes in policy and programs. Furthermore, the flexible approach enabled the researcher to capture all outcomes during the evaluation process which provided a holistic focus on benefits and beneficiaries of tourism in a developing country. Lastly, the methodology was also cost effective and easy to use where stakeholders identified that most, if not all outcomes could be applied to increase local benefits through tourism.
With a paucity of research to inform policymakers of likely attitudes amongst stakeholders, varied perceptions about how local people could benefit from tourism interventions existed prior to this research. The research findings demonstrated that rigorous, transparent, and inclusive approaches could assist to identify the underlying causal mechanisms of interventions to sustainably increase benefits to communities.
As a small and fragile industry, which can permanently impact local people and the environment, tourism stakeholders have called for sophisticated and systematic evaluation approaches with the capability to strengthen institutional frameworks. The research found that holistic approaches could aid communities to better manage cultural and physical environments to increase local benefits. Building on this knowledge, a conceptual model to evaluate tourism interventions using a realist approach was developed to explain how benefits could be increased through evaluation processes. The model suggests the methodology is implemented through three focus areas (purpose, approach and outcomes), over four phases to examine what works, for whom, how, in what circumstances and respects.

How is the mind agitated and bewildered, at being thus, as it were, placed on the borders of a new world!' (William Bartram) 'Thus you see, dear sister, the manners of mankind do not differ so widely as our voyage writers would have us believe.' (Mary Wortley Montagu) With widely varied motives - scientific curiosity, commerce, colonization, diplomacy, exploration, and tourism - British travellers fanned out to every corner of the world in the period the Critical Review labelled the 'Age of Peregrination'. The Empire, already established in the Caribbean and North America, was expanding in India and Africa and founding new outposts in the Pacific in the wake of Captain Cook's voyages. In letters, journals, and books, travellers wrote at first-hand of exotic lands and beautiful scenery, and encounters with strange peoples and dangerous wildlife. They conducted philosophical and political debates in print about slavery and the French Revolution, and their writing often affords unexpected insights into the writers themselves. This anthology brings together the best writing from authors such as Daniel Defoe, Celia Fiennes, Mary Wollstonecraft, Olaudah Equiano, Mungo Park, and many others, to provide a comprehensive selection from this emerging literary genre.

With the gold rush, San Francisco almost instantaneously became an important stop for a host of international entertainment tours that expanded well beyond the Atlantic world, to Australia as well as the Pacific Coast. The term celebrity was first employed as a noun in the 1840s and 1850s, and from its inception, this cultural phenomenon was intrinsically linked with and profited handsomely from transnational exchange networks—the conduits for the transmission of print and visual culture, as well as the migration of people and capital. Theatrical entertainment flourished in nineteenth-century San Francisco, as did the trade in celebrity portraits. In this context, certain charismatic individuals emerged: notably female stars, including Lola Montez and Adah Isaacs Menken, who embodied the trend of self-representation that overtook the city. The celebrity thrived in a place where human identity could become a consumable commodity—in turn, it often became all-consuming..

AbstractSpread over the ocean regions of the Caribbean, the Pacific and Atlantic, the Indian Ocean, the Mediterranean, and the South China Sea, the small island developing states (SIDS) are a distinct group of developing countries often known for their rich biological diversity, oceans, tourism, and fisheries. The pressures on these and other natural resources is most immediate in the islands where the high vulnerability to the impacts of climate change, limited land and water resources, often unsustainable natural resource use, and other particular economic vulnerabilities are disrupting livelihoods. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated the SIDS economies and livelihoods. Over the past 25 years the Global Environment Facility (GEF) has supported interventions in SIDS through $578 million in financing, in critical areas such as biodiversity protection, climate resilience, and energy access through renewable energy. But how effective and sustainable have these interventions been? What factors influencing the sustainability of GEF interventions can provide insights for future project design and implementation? This chapter draws on findings from a recent country cluster evaluation on SIDS conducted by the Independent Evaluation Office (IEO) of the GEF. It presents the main environmental challenges in SIDS, the evidence on the relevance and effectiveness of GEF interventions in addressing these challenges, and the main risks to sustainability of outcomes. Important contextual factors that affect sustainability in SIDS include good policies and legal and regulatory frameworks, national ownership of projects, environmental awareness, institutional capacity, and strategic institutional partnerships. Project-related factors including good project design and adaptive project management, scaling-up and replication based on lessons learned, and a good exit strategy are also important for sustainability.

Medical tourism, perhaps a late 20th century phenomenon, is said to be making a huge impact across the world in many countries, especially in developing world. According to the Medical Tourism Association in the United States, the term “medical tourism” is where people who live in one country travel to another country to receive medical, dental, and surgical care while at the same time receiving equal to or greater care that they could have received at their own country. Many people across the globe are taking to the wheels to various destinations for their medical needs owing to critical reasons like affordability, better access to care at a higher level of quality, etc. Medical tourism is a fast-growing Indo-Pacific region too. The chapter starts with a literature review of the industry followed by identifying the global hubs of medical tourism especially in the Indo-pacific region. It concludes with looking at potentials and challenges of medical tourism industry between India and Australia.

Full textAbstract:
Belief systems of people have always been closely related to animals, which are symbolized in traditional narratives. Sociocultural definitions of animals as “good or evil” have persisted throughout the history of human beings. In the West, bats are often perceived as evil spirits, Vampires, and harbingers of death, while some cultures across the Asia-Pacific region associate bats with good fortune. Here, we review documented narratives and surveys from around the world and our ethnographic observations from Europe to analyze beliefs associated with bats. We explore the role that bats play in traditional narratives and the likely reasons for their salience, including their connections with the extraordinary and supernatural. Finally, we discuss shortly the need of education to change attitudes toward bats. In North America, education has had some effect as more people have started to understand how useful bats truly are and how few cases of bat-born rabies transmission to humans there have been in the United States and Canada . It remains to be seen, however, how effectively the further education efforts could halt or even reverse the decline of the bats around the world. It is also noted that bat tourism has a potential to conserve bat populations while providing social and economic benefits to local people in host communities.

This chapter follows the journey of Norwegian collector Johan Adrian Jacobsen to the Pacific coast of Canada to collect as much as possible from the Northwest Coast tribes (especially the Haida) living between Alaska and Vancouver. The chapter chronicles his predicament when he arrived at the location of Northwest Coast tribes and found private collectors, a representative of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, and tourists—hordes of them—who came in the summers to the port cities, towns, and even some villages. The chapter then describes how he went door-to-door in villages, and found many people with beautiful and fascinating things to sell. It highlights the Haida crest pole, a focal point in the atrium of Bastian's Museum, which Jacobsen purchased from a man who had converted to Christianity in the Haida village of Masset, in the Queen Charlotte Islands. The chapter stresses that Jacobsen's trip was part of Bastian's hypercollecting—attempting to get as much as possible as fast as possible.

Full textAbstract:
It was a quiet day in the summer of 1983 when the shots rang out in Robson Bight. Just minutes earlier, researcher Dave Briggs had been watching A4 pod visiting the rubbing beaches. The orcas had then headed in the direction of nearby purse seine vessels, and something had clearly gone wrong. Rushing down to the water, Briggs signaled a nearby whale-watching boat, which picked him up and motored out to investigate. Soon after, two orcas approached the vessel. It was the pod’s matriarch, A10, and her young calf, A47, both of whom had been shot. The horrified passengers watched as the injured mother pushed her child toward the tour boat. “We could see the wound oozing blood,” Briggs recounted. “It really seemed that she was showing us: Look what you humans have done.” Jim Borrowman learned of the shooting within minutes. An environmental activist and whale-watching entrepreneur based in nearby Telegraph Cove, he jumped into his Zodiac—a small, inflatable boat—and raced to the area. “I saw A10 with a bullet hole in the side of her face,” he recalled. “I just couldn’t believe it.” Over the years, Borrowman had seen many gunshot wounds on orcas, but this seemed a senseless act of violence reminiscent of an earlier era. Appearances aside, the incident underscored how far the human relationship with the species had come. No longer the indistinguishable black masses of the past, each orca in the Pacific Northwest now had an alphanumeric label, a family tree, and even affectionate nicknames. Once considered menacing pests, killer whales had become symbols of the region’s new environmental values and prime attractions for its tourist industry. Writing in the early 1980s, naturalist Erich Hoyt had little doubt that the display of killer whales at oceanariums had caused this shift. “The most important result of the captiveorca era has been the almost overnight change in public opinion,” he observed. “People today no longer fear and hate the species; they have fallen in love with them.”

Full textAbstract:
The Burgess Shale Fossils found in Yoho National Park are some of the oldest, most well-preserved, soft-bodies organisms ever found. These fossils provide valuable knowledge of Cambrian organisms and the origins of multicellular life. The construction of The Canadian Pacific Railway ultimately led to the discovery of these fossils by making the Kicking Horse Valley accessible to tourists, adventurers, and most importantly to our story, geologists. The railway can be seen as a vehicle of exploration, but for the First Nations peoples, it was a vehicle of exploitation that had harmed the natural environment and exploited their artifacts and resources.

Full textAbstract:
El objeto de esta contribución, es demostrar el proceso de crecimiento de un asentamiento
indígena ubicado en la Comuna Montañita, Ecuador, en la costa central del Pacífico de
Latinoamérica. El estudio establece periodos de análisis desde 1940 hasta 2010, donde se
estudian los factores que han provocado la transformación de un caserío de campesinos
indígenas a un pueblo que tiene una eventual estructura urbana originada en las actividades
económicas del turismo.
La metodología aplicada, para evaluar, se basa en el uso de Sistemas de Información
Geográfica; donde se incluyó una base de datos, con insumos obtenidos de información
relevante de la revisión de archivos históricos, documentales, legales, referenciales,
estadísticos, imágenes satelitales y aerofotogramétricas; junto con una importante aportación
por parte de un estudio de campo, para la observación del fenómeno urbano, que incluyó
registro fotográfico, entrevistas y talleres grupales con la participación de los actores que
intervienen en territorio indígena.
Una vez, organizada y clasificada la información, se utilizó el insumo tecnológico Arcgis 9.3
ESRI, para evaluar y posterior diagnóstico; que ayuda a entender como la sociedad indígena
administra su territorio con autonomía y donde se facilita la presencia de actores externos que
generan inversiones en servicios turísticos; así como la Inversión del Gobierno Estatal en
asuntos de equipamiento urbano e infraestructura básica. Pero, donde también se observó una
confrontación con actores del sector inmobiliario y agrícola que han intervenido en forma ilegal
en el territorio. El aporte de este trabajo es generar una herramienta que permite evaluar el
crecimiento de cualquier asentamiento indígena con similares características The purpose of this contribution is to demonstrate the growth process of an indigenous
settlement located in the Commune Montañita, Ecuador, on the central Pacific coast of Latin
America . The study provides analysis periods from 1940-2010; where we study the factors that
have led to the transformation of an indigenous village to a town that has a urban structure
originated in the economic activities of tourism.The methodology to evaluate, is based on the use of Geographic Information Systems, which
included a database with information inputs from historical reports, legal information, reference,
statistics, satellite images and aero photogrammetric. Along with a contribution from a field
study to observe the urban phenomenon that included photographic records, interviews and
group workshops with the participation of the actors involved in indigenous territory.
Once organized and classified information was used the technological input ESRI Arcgis 9.3 to
evaluate and diagnosis. That helped to understand how the society manages its territory, the
indigenous autonomy and the reasons that facilitated the presence of external actors generate
investments tourist services; as well as the State Government investment in urban
infrastructure issues and basic infrastructure. Without neglecting the people confrontations with
real estate agents and agricultural producers have remained illegal interventions in their
territory.
The contribution of this work is create a tool to assess the growth of any indigenous settlement
with similar characteristics.

Full textAbstract:
Coffs Harbour on the north coast of NSW is a highway city sandwiched between the Great Dividing Range and the Pacific Ocean. For thousands of years it was the traditional land of the numerous Gumbaynggirr peoples. Tourism now appears to be the major industry, supplanting agriculture and timber getting, while a large service sector has grown up around a sizable retirement community. It is major holiday destination. Located further away from the coast in the midst of a dairy farming community, Bellingen has become a centre of alternative culture which relies heavily on a variety of festivals activated by energetic tree changers and numerous professionals who have relocated from Sydney. Both communities rely on the visitor economy and there have been considerable changes to how local government in this region approach strategic planning for arts and culture. The newly built Coffs Harbour Education Campus (CHEC) is an experiment in encouraging cross pollination between innovative businesses and education and incorporates TAFE NSW, Coffs Harbour Senior College and Southern Cross University as well as the Coffs Harbour Technology Park and Coffs Harbour Innovation Centre all on one site. The 250 seat Jetty Memorial Theatre is the main theatre in Coffs Harbour for local and touring productions while local halls and converted theatres are the mainstay of smaller communities in the region. As peak body Arts Mid North Coast reports, there is a good record of successful arts related events which range across all genres of music, art, sculpture, Aboriginal culture, street art, literature and even busking and opera. These are mainly managed by passionate local volunteers.
