Abstract:

Summary The increasing number of travelers to Bali has been accompanied by the increased risks of travel-related health problems. Travel agents and tour guides are in a key position to inform travelers about these matters; nonetheless, little evidence was found on their role in the promotion of travel health. This article aims to assess travel agent and tour guide perceptions on their possible involvement in promoting travel health measures in Bali. A cross-sectional study was conducted between July and October 2015, involving 500 respondents (250 travel agents and 250 tour guides), who were chosen systematically from the Bali-based members of the Association of the Indonesian Tours and Travel Agencies. Data were collected using questionnaires, and perception indicators were developed using concepts from social learning theory and health belief model. Both groups have good levels of knowledge of general travel health issues, with mean percentages (SD) of 67.1 (11.9) and 66.2 (10.0) for travel agents and tour guides, respectively. Tour guides were more likely than travel agents to deliver information on health risks [PR (95%CI) = 1.31 (1.10–1.56); p = 0.003]; and on safety hazards during travel [PR (95%CI) = 1.22 (1.01–1.46), p = 0.04]. Overall, the majority of respondents (>68%) have positive and very positive perceptions of possible involvement in travel health and safety programs, although tour guides have statistically better perceptions (z = −2.2, p = 0.03). Based on perception levels, previous experiences and levels of knowledge, travel agents and tour guides have great potential to be involved in travel health promotion programs in Bali.

Abstract:

The article gives a brief description of Moscow guide books printed between 1922 and 1991. The retrospective of Soviet texts is preceded by tracing the origins of Moscow travel guides, which goes back to travel notes from the 16th and 17th centuries. The paper presents 34 Soviet itineraries by providing their composition and content summary. Also, it demonstrates and explains the referential and syncretic patterns of Soviet guidebooks, and the shift made at the turn of the NEP era and the 1930s. Tourism evolution, city planning and state censorship are discussed among the factors that influence travel itineraries. The diachronic approach allows to note continuity and transformation elements of Soviet travel guides to Moscow.

Abstract:

Purpose. The main objective of the article is to diagnose the job market from the point of view ofsupply and demand for travel guide and tour leader services as well as to establish the dominant forms of employment, intensity of orders, forms of job search, status of employers as well as the amount of earnings. Method. In the research, the method of diagnostic survey was used; the questionnaire was supplied to the respondents via the Internet, with the option of filling it out on-line (CAWI) as well as by conducting telephone interviews with employers (CATI). Findings. The study proved that the travel guide and tour leader job market is unstable due to its seasonal nature, relatively low earnings and a constantly changing economic situation. The deregulation of occupations did not lead to a change in principles of cooperation between on the one hand, the tour operators one the one hand and the travel guides and tour leaders on the other; it did not exert influence on the costs of their employment or on the prices of tourist services. Research and conclusions limitations. The research was conducted on a representative sample of tourist guides and tour leaders as well as tour operators. Practical implications. The results of research may be of use to tour operators, organisations grouping travel guides and tour leaders as well as tourist administrations at central and regional levels. Originality. A complex study of the tourist guide and tour leader job market is innovative and has never been conducted on such a scale in Poland. Type of paper. The article presents the results of empirical research on the supply and demand of urban, field and mountain guides as well as tour leaders.

Abstract:

The hassle of deciding on a travel destination is often overlooked by travel websites. Travellers, a lot of times, do not have a clear idea of where they want to travel to. We aim on solving this problem by introducing a chat bot system that can recommend travel destinations based on minimal information from the traveller. Another interesting feature of the project is its itinerary generator. The system aims on providing a human-like user experience through the use of a chatbot interface. The interface interacts with the user to retrieve information about the user’s details like travel date, number of children and adults travelling and the budget of travelling. The user’s budget will be the main focus of this application as we want to give the end-user the best travel experience based on their particular budget. The recommender also takes other external factors such as the season, previous traveller experiences and weather into consideration. Incorporating these factors ensure that the most optimal destination is recommended to the user. As per the recommendation, the user can opt to get several itineraries to choose from. The itinerary generator also takes several external factors into consideration when generating an itinerary. The choice of itineraries vary in the choice of places and in activities according to budget and other external factors.

Abstract:

Many new establishments of tour travel in Bali that their target market is tourists from Germany affecting a competitive business among those tour and travel agency. The impact is reducing amount of German tourists using the service of tour travel which directly affecting the intensity of work of Germany tour guide. Therefore, there is a demand for the tour guides who work at tour travel agency to work more professional to face the competitiveness among themselves. This research is aimed to describe and analyze the problem of demand of professional work by Germany tour guide who work at the tour travel establishment in Badung regency, in this global era. Some theories used to support this research such as the hegemony theory, social practical theory, and communicative act eclecticly theory. The demand for working professionally in this global era means of the need to force themselves as the Germany tour guide in completing their job. On the other hands, the tour guide should add their knowledge of Germany language, as well as knowledge of guiding.

Pintail is a mobile companion application for guided storytelling. To inspire and augment story creation, Pintail uses priming as a technique by showing the user what others feel or have drawn about the places s/he is visiting. These Pintail prompts are synthesized from online travel reviews and doodle books. Some prompts are displayed in an ambient manner on a second screen. Users can use the Pintail story-creation tools to remix, reflect and create their own stories. The stories created by Pintail have an analog form. They are printed on a re-purposed mobile receipt printer. They are designed to catalyze in person-conversations. Pintail tries to balance between the story creation activity and the actual travel experience. Pintail provides the users with the structure and tools for storytelling that are aware of the short attention span of today's audience.

Abstract:

This study examines the translation of an adventure travel guide from English to Swedish, focusing on the translation of conventional metaphors, original metaphors, metonymy and similes, with special attention to conceptual metaphors. The results show that most of the metaphors are reproduced in the target text, along with most of the metonymic segments and all similes. The findings suggest that the relatively high rate of metaphors and metonymy reproduced is due to a high degree of shared metaphorical concepts in source and target culture, whereas the decrease likely is due to an asymmetry in the preference of usage and degree of elaboration for these metaphors. The qualitative analysis shows that many conceptual metaphors fulfilled important functions in the source text, which confirms previous research that preserving the conceptual metaphors as much as possible in the translation process is essential in order to preserve all the functions of the source text. Analysis of metonymy and the personification of cities shows how the metonymic concept place for person is related to the central theme of personification and that this concept is likewise used to fulfill an important purpose of the source text, showing that metonymy is equally important to preserve in the translation process. The results of this study suggest that the choice of translation strategy in some cases is less dependent on category and more dependent on to what extent the cultural concepts that the metaphor/simile/metonymy is based on is similar/different, more/less elaborate or more/less preferred in source and target culture.

Abstract:

Cette recherche porte sur la collection de guides de voyage Joanne qui fut célèbre pendant plusieurs décennies avant de devenir les guides Bleus en 1919. L’enjeu est de comprendre sa généalogie, son développement et sa transformation, en prenant en considération les espaces géographiques concernés : l’Europe du XIXe siècle et du début du XXe siècle.Ce travail s’inscrit dans une démarche pluridisciplinaire : cette recherche est principalement historique, mais contient aussi une forte dimension géographique, tout en faisant souvent appel à l’histoire de l’art, l’archéologie, la littérature et l’histoire des techniques.Dans un premier temps, comme la collection des guides Joanne n’est pas née ex-nihilo, il faut comprendre pourquoi la Librairie Hachette a racheté en 1855 des guides portant le nom de Richard. Pour cela, il faut se plonger dans l’histoire des guides Reichard nés à la fin du XVIIIe siècle. Il convient ensuite de saisir la généalogie des acquisitions de guides existants qui a abouti à la création de la Bibliothèque des chemins de fer, distribuée dans les kiosques de gares. Dans un second temps, l’histoire des guides-itinéraires à la couverture bleu de Prusse est retracée, en tenant compte des évolutions techniques de l’imprimerie et en les replaçant dans leur contexte historique et concurrentiel. En effet, cette abondante production française est comparée à celle de ses homologues anglais (Murray) et allemand (Baedeker), ces derniers présentant une menace commerciale avec leurs guides en français, mais aussi une émulation. Dans un troisième temps, sont présentées les séries dérivées des guides-itinéraires qui démontrent le perpétuel souci d’adaptation des guides Joanne à leur public et aux évolutions des manières de voyager liées aux développements des transports ferroviaire et automobile avant la rupture de la Première Guerre mondiale. La mutation qui aboutit à la naissance des guides Bleus est analysée. Cette recherche est clôturée par une synthèse sur les apports de ces guides, en les inscrivant dans leur contexte historique et dans celui de la naissance du tourisme qui devint de masse au milieu du XXe siècle
This study focuses on the “Joanne” series of guidebooks that acquired popularity several decades before it was renamed “Guides Bleus” in 1919. The aim of this work is to grasp the series’ genealogy, evolution and transformation throughout the geographical regions it dealt with, mostly 19th and early 20th century Europe. This thesis falls into a multidisciplinary approach: mainly a historical research, it also makes use of Geography as well as History of Art, Archaeology, Literature and History of techniques. As the Joanne guidebooks were not created ex nihilo, this thesis first delves into the context that pushed the editor Hachette, in 1855, to buy back a tourist guidebook series that was then called “Richard”. It is thus necessary to go back to the late 18th century and the appearance of the first "Reichard" guidebooks. It then analyses the first acquisition of guidebooks that resulted in the creation of the “Bibliothèque des chemins de fer” (Railway library), distributed in the kiosks of train stations. In its second part, this study aims to reconstruct the emergence of these guidebooks famous for their “Prussian blue” covers, taking into account technical evolutions of printing and overall competition in this domain. This brings about a comparison between the French production and its British and German counterparts, Murray and Baedeker. These series pose a serious commercial threat to the French guidebooks, but also represent a source of emulation. The third part of this work introduces the reader to the various derivatives of the Joanne series. They are seen as an example of how the guidebooks were adapted to change in travel practices and to the appearance of new forms of transport, rail and automobile, before the rupture of the First World War. The thesis hence studies the shift that brought about the “Guides Bleus”. The work ends with a synthesis of the role played by these guidebooks in their historical period as well as to the birth of mass tourism in the middle of the 20th century

Abstract:

Douglas Adams and Jonathan Swift are satirists who lived and worked 250 years apart. Swift's eighteenth-century text, Gulliver's Travels, tells the story of an Englishman's adventures during numerous sea voyages that bring him into contact with fantastical peoples and places. Adams's twentieth-century text, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, relates a hapless Englishman's trials and tribulations during an intergalactic voyage which takes him and his companions to bizarre destinations. This study considers key similarities and differences between the texts. Resonances between Gulliver's celestial navigation in the eighteenth century and Arthur Dent's navigation among those very heavenly bodies in the twentieth century are explored. The novels are examined for evidence of satire, the travel genre, proto science fiction and mock science fiction and for generic similarities between the works. Through a process of elimination, Gulliver's and Arthur Dent's respective journeys are abstracted, summarised and represented graphically. Communication theory and linguistic trends during the Enlightenment and the twentieth century, as well as the science and technology of each era are also briefly reviewed. This study finds that, through the exploitation of the journey as literary device which allows Gulliver and Arthur Dent to view England and Earth from different places and from different times, both Swift and Adams are able to comment on and satirise humankind. The illustrations of the journeys highlight the differences between the two novels in terms of structure and adherence to markers of time and place. Lemuel Gulliver's journeys are shown to be radial voyages with England as the core location of departures and arrivals, whereas Arthur's appear to be random and follow neither the expected and known rules of travel, nor the laws of time and space. The study furthermore considers the nature of the locations visited and finds resemblances and differences between the authors' and readers' known worlds, and the fictitious worlds described. This naturally leads to a consideration of the degree of alienation experienced by the protagonists and, indeed, humanity. Finally, the texts are examined for communication problems faced by the protagonists. The conclusion of this study suggests that in Gulliver's Travels and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy both Adams and Swift show their awareness that language is not neutral, and that it possesses the power to entertain, inform, deceive and destroy. Both texts function metonymically to highlight the perilous complexity of the human condition and show that humanity's journey through space/time in the twentieth century remains as treacherous as one by sea during the Enlightenment.

Abstract:

This paper studies how cultural references and hyphenated premodifiers in an English travel guide about the Caribbean are translated into Swedish. The aim is to investigate what strategies that are used when translating cultural references, and why; as well as to see which grammatical structures that appear when translating hyphenated premodifiers from English to Swedish. The qualitative analysis focuses on how cultural references and hyphenated premodifiers are translated, the strategies/categories used, and the corresponding result. The quantitative analysis aims at summarizing what strategies or grammatical categories that are most commonly used in overcoming these translation issues. The results show that most hyphenated premodifiers are translated with another grammatical structure, namely through premodifying adjectives, without the use of hyphens. Regarding cultural references, equivalence, transference, and generalization were common strategies to convey the same content and sense to the new target readers, whereas the domesticating method together with communicative translation proved to be the most helpful methods.

Abstract:

Les guies turístiques impreses son una font excepcional d’informació per a futurs turistes. Aquests llibres proporcionen consells, suggeriments, pistes, recomanacions i molt més per a que el viatger pugui entendre el Destí i són, per tant, un mediador entre el visitant i el lloc visitat. Les guies turístiques impreses donen forma a l’experiència turística al interpretar el Destí i, fent-lo, donen forma també al Destí. En temps en que turistes corren cap a Internet buscant per informació sempre canviat com si visquéssim en un món Orwellià on els fets d’ahir ja no existeixen, les guies en paper són crucials per a un estudi longitudinal perquè la Imatge del Destí Turístic (IDT) que elles tenen de qualsevol lloc dura allò que duren les seves pàgines. La meva recerca pretén entendre com una IDT canvia al llarg del temps i, per fer-ho, utilitzo el Mètode de la Teoria Fonamentada (MTF) per a tal de recollir dades de diverses guies turístiques de diferents èpoques i determinar com la imatge canvia al llarg del temps. La recerca està construïda sobre una revisió de la literatura actual en Geografia, Autenticitat i, és clar, Turisme. El meu estudi de cas es Barcelona i he seleccionat 13 guies turístiques impreses des de 1888 –l’any de la primera Exposició Universal– fins a 2016. Degut a la immensa quantitat de dades i la fragilitat d’algunes guies, utilitzo el software d’anàlisis de dades qualitatius assistida per ordinador ATLAS.ti per a ajudar-me amb la codificació, recodificació, visualització, recuperació i anàlisi dels llibres. La recerca en Turisme es coneguda per dependre fortament de teories i mètodes d’altres camps per a entendre els intricats problemes del fenomen. Tant treballar amb guies turístiques com aplicar el MTF a la recerca en Turisme són maneres innovadores de proveir el tòpic amb els seus propis marcs de referència i pot ajudar a desenvolupar nous paradigmes, teories y pràctiques per al fenomen. La recerca conclou que utilitzar guies turístiques impreses com font de dades per a analitzar la IDT de Barcelona és un mètode vàlid i pot ser reproduït en altres Destins; que Barcelona ha tingut diverses IDTs al llarg de la seva història com a Destí Turístic i que la que experimentem avui és només la més recent; que un estudi longitudinal a través del MTF enquadrat per una recerca d’Estudi de Cas és una mena vàlida d’entendre l’evolució de la IDT d’un Destí; que la història del Destí influeix en la seva IDT; que la imatge Fonamentada (Grounded image) de Barcelona ha canviat d’acord amb les tendències de cada període de la seva història, però que la seva imatge de Densitat (Density image) s’ha mantingut estable enfocant-se al Barri Gòtic. Per fi, aquesta Tesi presenta alguns tòpics per a recerques futures.
Las guías turísticas impresas son una fuente excepcional de información para futuros turistas. Estos libros proporcionan consejos, sugerencias, pistas, recomendaciones y mucho más para que el viajero pueda entender el Destino y son, por lo tanto, un mediador entre el visitante y el lugar visitado. Las guías turísticas impresas moldan la experiencia del turista al interpretar el Destino y, al hacerlo, moldan el Destino también. En tiempos en que turistas corren a Internet buscando por informaciones siempre cambiantes como si viviéramos en un mundo Orwelliano donde los hechos de ayer desaparecen, las guías en papel son cruciales para un estudio longitudinal porque la Imagen del Destino Turístico (IDT) que tienen de cualquier lugar dura lo tanto que duran sus páginas. Mi investigación aspira a entender cómo una IDT cambia a lo largo del tiempo y, para ello, empleo el Método de la Teoría Fundamentada (MTF) para recoger datos de diversas guías turísticas de diferentes épocas y determinar cómo la imagen cambia a lo largo del tiempo. La investigación está construida sobre una revisión de la literatura actual en Geografía, Autenticidad y, por supuesto, Turismo. Mi estudio de caso es Barcelona y he elegido 13 guías turísticas impresas de 1888 –el año de la primera Exposición Universal– hasta 2016. Debido a la inmensa cantidad de datos y la fragilidad de algunas de las guías, utilizo el software de análisis de datos cualitativos asistida por ordenador ATLAS.ti para ayudarme con la codificación, recodificación, visualización, recuperación y análisis de los libros. La investigación en Turismo es conocida por depender fuertemente de teorías y métodos de otros campos para entender los problemas intricados del fenómeno. Tanto trabajar con guías turísticas como aplicar el MTF en la investigación en Turismo son manera innovadora de abastecer el tópico con sus propios marcos de referencia y puede ayudar a desarrollar nuevos paradigmas, teorías y prácticas para el fenómeno. La investigación concluye que usar guías turísticas impresas como fuente de datos para analizar la IDT de Barcelona es un método válido y puede ser reproducido en otros Destinos; que Barcelona ha tenido diversas IDTs a lo largo de su historia como Destino Turístico y que la que experimentamos hoy es sólo la más reciente; que un estudio longitudinal a través del MTF encuadrado por una Investigación de Estudio de Caso es una manera válida de entender la evolución de la IDT de un Destino; que la historia del Destino influye en su IDT; que la imagen Fundamentada (Grounded image) de Barcelona ha cambiado de acuerdo con las tendencias de cada periodo de su historia, pero que su imagen de Densidad (Density image) se ha mantenido estable enfocada en el Barri Gòtic. Por fin, esta Tesis presenta algunos tópicos para investigaciones futuras.
Travel guidebooks are an exceptional source of information for future tourists. These books provide advices, suggestions, clues, tips, and much more so that the traveler can understand the Destination, being, therefore, a mediator between the visitor and the place visited. Travel guidebooks shape the tourist’s experience by interpreting the Destination and, by doing so, shape the Destination itself as well. In a time when tourists are rushing to the Internet to find always-changing information similar to an Orwellian world where yesterday’s facts disappear, paper guidebooks are crucial to a longitudinal because the Tourism Destination Image (TDI) they have of any given place lasts as long as their pages exist. My research aims to understand how a TDI changes through time and, in order to do so, I employ the Grounded Theory Method (GTM) to gather data from several Travel Guidebooks from different periods and determine how the image changes throughout time. The research is built over a review of the current literature on Geography, Authenticity, and, of course, Tourism. My case study is Barcelona and I have selected 13 guidebooks from 1888 –the year of the first Universal Exposition– to 2016. Due to the immense amount of data and the fragility of some guidebooks, I use the computer assisted qualitative data analysis software ATLAS.ti to help me with the coding, recoding, visualization, retrieving, and analysis of the books. Tourism Research is known to strongly rely on other areas’ theories and methods to understand the phenomenon’s intricate problems. Both working with travel guidebooks and applying the GTM to Tourism Research is an innovative way to provide the subject with its own research frameworks and it can help develop new paradigms, theories, and practices to the field. The research concludes that using travel guidebooks as source of data to analyze Barcelona’s TDI is a valid method and it can be reproduced in any other Destination; that Barcelona has had several TDIs throughout its history as a Tourism Destination and the one we experience nowadays is only the most recent one; that a longitudinal study through a GTM framed by a Case Study Research is a valid way to understand the evolution of a Destination’s TDI; that the history of the Destination influences its TDI; that Barcelona’s Grounded image has changed according to trends of each period in its history, but its Density image has remained stable focused in the Barri Gòtic.

Abstract:

The corona virus has shaped our everyday life in many ways during the last two years. The COVID-19 pandemic has upended the travel and tourism industries and opened many questions about the future of individuals working in the tourism industry. Traditional well-known concepts must be changed. The urban tourist of the post-covid time will probably travel in a world more digitally mediated than ever before. To stay relevant during the pandemic, business organizations had to apply digital tools. Tourism organizations did the same. Therefore, the position and perspectives of the tour guides whose role has always been an inevitable segment of the touristic offer has been called into question and is significantly threatened. The number of tourists was limited because of lockdowns, which seemingly led to disappearance of the ‘traditional’ guided group tours. This paper aims to provide the description of the position of the tour guides in the world considering the current epidemiological situation and to focus on the future trends that should be developed in this field. It also emphasizes the importance of recognizing new forms of touristic offers that shall influence the way of engaging tour guides, thus considering whether digitalization will somehow suppress the “live performance” of a tour guide.

Abstract:

Tour guides are considered a significant part of the critical player in tourism development and experience. The tour guide's role in the tourism sector differs according to its type, importance, characteristics, and location. Besides, the person who is guiding a group of people (tourists) may significantly impact attracting tourists and developing the tourism sector through the role and characteristics they played and practice during their tours. Therefore, this research aims to examine tour guides' role in developing the tourism sector: from managers' perspectives of travel and tourism companies operating in Erbil. The researchers used a survey questionnaire as a data collection tool; however, the survey sample includes 122 managers randomly selected from different tourism companies to reply to the survey questions. The conceptual scheme and hypotheses are established that emphasize the correlation and effect among the research variables; the hypotheses are tested using SPSS V.25. The research reached some conclusions; most significant, the research found a positive relationship and effect between tour guides and developing tourism.

Abstract:

Ninety percent of the world’s trade goods travel by surface transportation, using maritime, road and rail assets. The security of the goods in transit, the infrastructure supporting the movement, and the vehicles, are required to ensure that international commerce proceeds successfully. Much has been written about the surface supply chain itself, but little has focused on the security of these components. This report provides a guide for those wanting an increased understanding of the security issues that supply chain surface transportation systems confront and a blueprint to guide their future research.
