Full textAbstract:
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.

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.

Full textAbstract:
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.

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.

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.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Literary historiography is not indifferent to phenomena that are of key importance to contemporary culture and the humanities, including tourism and travel writing/travel studies. By trying to incorporate the ways a contemporary person experiences the world, literary history uses narrative strategies that are typical of current travel discourse-e. g. of a tourist guide. A tourist guide is an applied genre and also a cultural representation of the literary past of a city or region. The central category for literary tourist guides is space and mobility (rather than timelines and other figures important in a grand literary history). Space functions here as the subject of narration and as the basic principle that orders the material. In that context, the form of a tourist guide is a way of presenting the literary past, remembering the history of the city and its literary works, the lives of writers. Adapting a tourist guidebook for the needs of literary history results from the fact that everyday practices, such as travel and walking, influence professional forms of knowledge. This article shows how academic knowledge (here: literary history) can be learned and popularised by means of a non-academic genre (here: literary tourist guides).

Full textAbstract:
Below-cost tours (BCTs) have long been considered a serious issue in the travel industry, yet they have rarely been discussed from a tour guides’ perspective. Today’s tour guides are mostly freelancers, hired by tour operators to lead tour groups. While previous studies cover the management and behaviors of tour guides, there is little insight into personal perceptions of their work. To better understand BCTs, this study provides an intimate look at the phenomenon through the use of semi-structured interviews from tour guides and employment of nonparticipant observation on their experiences. The structural problems of the travel industry and impacts of BCTs on tour guide performance are explored and highlighted. Framed in the agency theory, the managerial implications and solutions to the BCT problems are discussed and recommended.

This qualitative study investigated the process of Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) storytelling created by tour guides. It explored the strategies that DMZ guides use and their influences at this complex site. This study investigates the training of the guides, their viewpoints on the DMZ, and the factors that influence their storytelling, taking guide status into consideration. A total of thirteen tour guides were interviewed. The findings identify various storytelling components that are used to build relationships with tourists, deliver an immersive experience, and provide the core information and regulations of the tour. Therefore, the proposed conceptual model includes three components that contribute to the creation of a memorable experience: the guide and the tourists, the guide and the site, and the tourists and the site. The findings enrich the body of literature on storytelling and could be used by travel agencies to create new training programs for DMZ tour guides and travel package group management. In addition, DMZ tours could be redesigned to increase the effectiveness of storytelling.

Background Tourists are at risk of experiencing health problems during their travel. However, even though tour guides have the potential to become travel health promoters, their participation has not been optimal. Objective This study aims to develop a comprehensive travel health education model to help tour guides improve health information delivery to tourists. Methods This is an exploratory sequential mixed methods research. The first phase consisted of a qualitative study with an informed grounded theory design. In-depth interviews were carried out with tour guides from all language divisions and policymakers of the Indonesian Tour Guide Association Bali Branch or Himpunan Pramuwisata Indonesia Daerah Bali (HPI Bali). The interview guidelines were developed based on the theory of planned behavior and identity theory. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically. In the interim phase, a travel health education model and questionnaire were developed based on the qualitative findings. The initial model and its instruments were finetuned after consultation with travel medicine and health promotion experts. Furthermore, the validity and reliability of the questionnaire were tested on 30 tour guides. The second phase consisted of a quantitative study with a randomized pretest-posttest control group design. A total of 76 tour guides in the intervention group received comprehensive travel health education, while 76 in the control group received no specific intervention. Outcome variables (ie, attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, actual behavioral control, role identity, and behavioral intention) were measured at baseline (T0), after the online training (T1), before information sharing via WhatsApp (T2), a month after the start of the WhatsApp intervention (T3), and at the end of the WhatsApp intervention (T4). The mean difference of each outcome variable before and after the intervention will be compared between the intervention and control groups. Thereafter, the quantitative and qualitative findings will be integrated into a joint display. Results The qualitative phase was conducted through in-depth interviews with 21 informants who included tour guides and policymakers from HPI Bali from May to June 2021. The education model, educational materials, and questionnaire were developed based on the qualitative findings and consultation with experts. The education model consists of online training and information sharing through WhatsApp and was trialed with tour guides from November 2021 to February 2022. As of April 2022, this study is in the quantitative data analysis stage. Conclusions A travel health education model was developed based on qualitative findings and consultation with experts. The model was tested with tour guides, and a series of self-administered questionnaires were completed. This study is in the quantitative data analysis stage and will continue by integrating qualitative and quantitative findings into a joint display.

With the Railway Age, the perception of the landscape has changed. In Austria, the world’s first high mountain railway was built in the middle of the 19th century. It crosses the Alps at one of their eastern foothills, the Semmering. The central subject of this study is the landscape that was completely transformed by the construction of the Semmering Railway between 1852 and 1873. How was the Semmering perceived before it was discovered by the Viennese society as a region of summer resort? How were the massive changes in the Alpine landscape caused by the construction of the railway portrayed in the medium of contemporary travel guides?The sources investigated cover the period from the construction of the Semmering Railway to the discovery of the region as a summer resort. Starting with the first travel guides to the construction site and ending with the travel guides to the completed railway, seven main sources were analysed. As a starting point for the qualitative content analysis, a system of categories was developed as a search grid to filter the relevant aspects for answering the research question. The analysis follows the process of coding, paraphrasing and generalizing, and clearly reveals different levels of perception. The landscape in which the railway was built was described in extremely positive, poetic formulations. The negatively judging descriptions are particularly remarkable in the context of the travel guides, as they can be read as a critical reflection of the changed situation. Instead of regretting the destruction of nature, the victory of man or technology over nature was celebrated. From the comparison of the travel guides to the construction site and those to the completed railway, the progress of the construction work is clearly readable. The magnificence of the construction project was beyond question from the very beginning. The travel guides allow one to comprehend this, at the time rather young, transformation of the landscape; they open up a differentiated view of the landscape.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with travel guides in German language about current territory of Ukraine at the end of 19th – first half of 20th centuries. It is noted that they represent quite a small group of literary sources. Major part of their content is reference information about geography, history, specific features of daily life and household traditions of one region or another, but major function is imposing of normative perception of foreign, alien culture. The most well-known are those, which were issued by publishing house “Baedeker”, as well as those, published in the times of Austrian-Hungarian monarchy. The author analyses image of Jews as ethnic community in the regions of Eastern Galicia and so-called Great Ukraine before the First World War, in the interwar period and during the Second World War. It is emphasized that thorough consideration of image of the Jews through prism of travel guides during dramatic and tragic events of the end of XIX – the first half of XX centuries may open to the readers of the XXI century new perspectives in understanding of such socio-political phenomena, as a state policy towards ethnic minorities; collective auto- and hetero-stereotypes; dynamics of antisemitism from common level of everyday life to discrimination and extermination of Jews. Moreover, travel guides contain various materials for analysis of issues, related to cultural transfer, models of journeys, attractiveness of certain destinations and objects of cultural and historical heritage at the territory of regions, which for centuries were known by coexistence of various ethnic groups and frequent changes of borders. Necessity of usage of interdisciplinary approach was an additional stimulus for research on the subject under consideration. The author stressed that the book of Franz Obermeyer “Ukraine. Land der schwarzen Erde”, as well as the travel guide by Baedeker, 1943, and the travel guide for Kyiv, 1942, were instruments of the criminal Nazi-Propaganda, contrary to publications during Austrian-Hungarian monarchy, which to certain measure can be considered as a source of knowledge about inter-cultural communications and tolerance. But in both cases the character of these books depended on a political and ideological conjuncture. While in the books, published before the WWI, the image of a Jew was presented mainly from the ethnographic perspective, but in Nazi publications during WWII it was transformed into the image of an enemy. But the authors avoided usage of formulations like “judo-bolshevism” or “worldwide Jewish conspiracy”. Most likely, the traditional format of a travel guide as an instrument of inter-cultural communication limited its actual transformation into a primitive racial or anti-Semitic propaganda. Certain attention in the article is given to the soviet travel guides, edited by Alexander Rado and published by All-Union Society of Cultural Relations in the 1920-ies, which were and are still little known.

AbstractThis article explores the strategies ofpandas (Hindu pilgrimage priests) in Vrindavan, relating changes in their trade (pandagiri) to tourism. These changes are the result of thepandas’ creative adjustments to shifting travel patterns that affect their market niche. Utilizing audio-recordings of thepandas’ guided tours, the article first portrays howpandas acquire ritual income from pilgrims by ‘inspiring’ donations of which they get a percentage. While commercial interests and economic conditions have always been crucial in shaping and perpetuating pilgrimage institutions and practices, global tourism has become an increasingly significant factor.Pandas all over India modify their services while the traditional exchange model (jajmanisystem) wanes. Changing travel patterns have made the guided tour a crucial component in the operation of Hindu pilgrimage. Vrindavanpandas have therefore turned into guides conducting religious sightseeing tours (darshan yatra). These tours are core to the new strategy for acquiring ritual income. To secure clients,pandas build connections with travel agencies and drivers and, in some cases, establish their own travel agencies that combine priestly and tourism services. Thepandas’ own understandings of their methods and contemporary travel trends further reflect the dynamic interplay between pilgrimage and tourism in India.

Full textAbstract:
This article is devoted to the role of the first Ural travel guides in the general process of the formation of geo-cultural image of the Urals. The author refers to guidebooks from between 1899 and 1904 prepared by the famous Ural journalist V. A. Vesnovsky, which became the first attempt at a holistic description of the region addressed to the general reader. The article focuses on the techniques of space narrativisation, which are actively used by guidebooks, unlike reference books. Narrativisation is seen in its functional aspect: as a way to engage the audience through an emotionally told story. J. Bruner’s idea of the dual landscape of narrative: the landscape of action and the landscape of consciousness is used as the main methodological approach. The analysis reveals the main subject areas of narrativisation in guidebooks, as well as the psychological effects of the stories presented. It is revealed that the narrativisation of space occurs at different levels of the guide: at the level of macrostructure, it is implemented in the travel route, while at the level of content — in the description of attractions, which are the basis of any guide. The discursive narrative methods are methods of the emotional engagement of the reader: reportage description inviting to joint observation and dynamic panoramic vision borrowed from travel essays; an appeal to the reader’s personal experience, as well as dramatisation of the narrative associated with a focus on the characters who act and feel. In the long run, it is concluded that the first Ural travel guides were actively involved in the processes of combining the geo-cultural values of Ural space, proposing subjects for its holistic reading and a variety of involving narratives dedicated to individual locations.

The key aim of this article is to provide an interdisciplinary look at tourism and its diachronic textual threads bequeathed by the ‘proto-tourist’ texts of the Greek travel author Pausanias. Using the periegetic, travel texts from his voluminous Description of Greece (2nd century CE) as a springboard for our presentation, we intend to show how the textual strategies employed by Pausanias have been received and still remain at the core of contemporary series of travel guides first authored by Karl Baedeker (in the 19th century). After Baedeker, Pausanias’ textual travel tropes, as we will show, still inform the epistemology of modern-day tourism; the interaction of travel texts with travel information and distribution channels produces generic hybrids, and the ancient Greek travel authors have paved the way for the construction of networks, digital storytelling and global tourist platforms.

In the digital age the internet and the ICT devices changed our daily life and routines. It means we couldn‟t live without these services and devices anywhere (work, home, holiday, etc.). It can be experienced in the tourism sector; digital contents become key tools in the tourism of the 21st century; they will be able to adapt the traditional tourist guide methodology to the applications running on novel digital devices. Tourists belong to a new generation, an "ICT generation" using innovative tools, a new info-media to communicate. A possible direction for tourism development is to use modern ICT systems and devices. Besides participating in classical tours guided by travel guides, there is a new opportunity for individual tourists to enjoy high quality ICT based guided walks prepared on the knowledge of travel guides. The main idea of the GUIDE@HAND service is to use reusable, and create new tourism contents for an advanced mobile device, in order to give a contemporary answer to traditional systems of tourism information, by developing new tourism services based on digital contents for innovative mobile applications. The service is based on a new concept of enhancing territorial heritage and values, through knowledge, innovation, languages and multilingual solutions going along with new tourists‟ “sensitiveness”.

<p>At present, the tourism consumption market is very large and the major attractions are crowded at the beginning of the holidays. However, differences in income, education and hobbies have led to the diversification of traval needs. Some low-income families go sightseeing, some high-income families go on vacation and leisure and some people prefer self-guided tours. Different people have different requirements, so they need to customize different products to diversify tourism marketing to meet their differrent needs. In particular, due to the large number of participants, group travel will reduce the pleasure of passengers and bring them a bad experience. Therefore, a variety of customized travel, free travel, semi-free travel and other diversified travel way emerged. Therefore, it is crucial to construct the tourism marketing model from the perspective of corporate economy.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The travel guide series Was nicht im Baedeker steht, published during the interwar period, can be qualified as anti-tourist. The main feature of this critical attitude towards the established Baedekers, which promoted a bourgeois way of travelling, is irony. Zielverfehlung, a deliberate contrariness of what conventional travel guides recommended as the highlights of a journey, is a recurrent theme in the Was nicht im Baedeker steht travel guides. When applied to these guides, Sabine Boomers’ research on nomadic travelling (2004) led us to distinguish four anti-tourist topics: the natural, the futile, the unmentionable and the odd versus the familiar. These topics can also be found in the Dutch imitations of the German series, published as three volumes entitled Wat niet in Baedeker staat. These Dutch guides discuss Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague. The transport of the German anti-tourist concept to the Dutch book-market entailed a transformation that somewhat spoiled the rebellious character of the German travel guides. To fit into the Dutch literary system, a revived version of the early nineteenth-century genre of the ‘physiology’ was adopted by the travel guides of the series Wat niet in Baedeker staat. Samenvatting De serie reisgidsen die gedurende het Interbellum werd gepubliceerd met de titel Was nicht im Baedeker steht kan antitoeristisch genoemd worden. Het belangrijkste kenmerk van de kritische houding tegenover de alom bekende Baedekers, die een burgerlijke manier van reizen aanbevalen, is ironie. Zielverfehlung, reizen zonder bestemming, een opzettelijke ontkenning van wat in de conventionele reisgidsen werd aangeprezen als de hoogtepunten van een reis, is een terugkerend motief in de reisgidsjes uit de reeks Was nicht im Baedeker steht. Als we Sabine Boomers’ onderzoek naar het nomadische reizen (2004) toepassen op deze gidsen, kunnen we vier antitoeristische thema’s herkennen: het natuurlijke, het onaanzienlijke, het onbespreekbare en de verwevenheid van het vreemde en het vertrouwde. Deze thema’s kunnen ook worden aangetroffen in de Nederlandse navolgingen van de Duitse boekjes, drie delen die verschenen in de reeks Wat niet in Baedeker staat. Het zijn reisgidsjes van Amsterdam, Rotterdam en Den Haag. Het transport van het Duitse antitoeristische concept naar de Nederlandse boekenmarkt zorgde voor een transformatie die afbreuk deed aan het tegendraadse karakter van de Duitse reisgidsen. Om een plaats te verwerven in het Nederlandse literaire systeem grepen de reisgidsen uit de reeks Wat niet in Baedeker staat terug op het vroeg-negentiende-eeuwse genre van de fysiologieën.

Foreign language ability is one of inevitable prerequisites for tourists guide in serving foreign tourists. The most needed abilities is speaking competence, particularly in serving tourists for transfer in, check in dan transfer out. This research is intended to investigate speaking language abilities of tourists’ guides in Puncak area, particularly their ability in speaking of Arabic language. Based on the qualitative approach, this research uses partisipative observation and interview of key informants, consist of 4 tourists guides within this area, 5 members of tourists guide association, and 2 owners of tour and travel bureau. Findings are that tourist guides learn speaking in Arabic language by themselves, building some interactions with Arab tourists or Arab inhabitants, or by learning Arabic in formal or semi informal school. Furthermore, some tourist guides learned Arabic (mostly local dialect) in one of Arabic nations while they worked there, and therefore they are preferred both by travel agencies and Arab tourists. Tourists guide who are only able in speaking Arabic language will do transfer in, check in, and transfer out processes by using Arabic language, whilst tourists guide with ability in speaking of Arabic and another foreign language (English) will prefer the most language they able to speak and will do switch code whenever needed.

The purpose of this paper is to find and examine the meaning of the role of a tour guide from travel reviews. What is noteworthy from the results is that, first, it was found that the 'tour guide's role' in package tours was mostly focused on effectively adjusting the travel schedule or maintaining a pleasant and pleasant group atmosphere. Second, the role of the tour guide was found to be working in the process of resolving the 'hard and arduous process' of the package, including tight schedules, traffic congestion, weather changes, and conflicts. It can be inferred that, through performing this role, tourists can trust the tour guide and gain 'unforgettable impressions and memories'.

This study uses the correspondence and published narratives of Alfred Russel Wallace’s travels in Southeast Asia to reveal the significant contributions of indigenous Southeast Asians in the development and advancement of scientific knowledge in the region. This analysis problematizes the Eurocentric narrative of discovery as a primarily white, male endeavour, and instead argues that discovery could only occur with the assistance of a vast network of knowledge and exchange. Chinese immigrants, female travel writers, indigenous tribes, and European assistants made up a significant part of this network, but scientists such as Wallace often exclude these people from their public narratives of “discovery.”

In line with recent tourism international organizations’ outcry on stringent visa regulations for short-term travel negatively impacting the tourism industry, this paper sheds light into why some countries have more tourist visa-free access than others. We contribute to the politics of tourism literature by providing an understanding of the underlying determinants of political decisions with regard to the number of visa-free privileges offered. The empirical analysis uses count regression models while guided by relevant theories borrowed from migration studies, given that some visitors overstay and become illegal immigrants, which result in visa policies mitigating this phenomenon. Findings underscore the role of public policies centered on improving governance and economic development, deepening their financial sector and engaging in appropriate social networking groups. Such policies will promote global economic welfare, which can eradicate poverty and ignite economic recovery. The results also inform theory in devising an appropriate framework for visa strategic analysis.

The tour guiding profession was much abused in the past while illegal guiding took place, and remains much the same nowadays. With the use of official documents, this paper outlines issues concerning illegal tour guiding from the past to the present. Document analysis as a qualitative research method was applied in this study. Archival research was carried out, and unpublished documents were analysed to contribute to the literature and shed light on the roots of illegal tour guiding. Archival data was combined with travel guidebooks, official reports, and court files. Despite regulations, problems concerning tour guiding continue to exist to the present day. More than ever before, illegal tour guides employed by travel agencies have become a threat to the employment of licenced guides. The number of illegal tour guides proves that current measures remain incapable of prohibiting illegal guiding activities. Touting seems to be the longstanding main motivation for illegal guides. Unethical guiding practices affect the established image of the destination country. From a historical perspective and underlining issues such as touting through unpublished archived documents and official reports, this paper contributes a detailed understanding of the defective points concerning the travel industry.

Full textAbstract:
The intensive development of tourism in the 19th century significantly contributed to the emergence of the guide’s profession. In earlier centuries, this feat was practiced by random people, often unqualified, but with time they became indispensable companions and patrons of tourists. Special qualities were required from mountain guides who, when introducing people to the mountains, had to show special qualities: responsibility, good knowledge of the topography of a given area, care, specific knowledge, as well as good physical condition. The job was professionalized the earliest in the Alps, but the process took place more or less at the same time in other European mountains, for example in the Karkonosze Mountains. It was much more difficult to hire an experienced guide in the Carpathians, where the leadership developed much later. Travel literature of the nineteenth century brought numerous accounts describing the relationship between the guide and the tourist as well as providing numerous realistic descriptions of the first to “hike in the mountains”. Due to the factual nature of this travel literature (diaries, memoirs, etc.), the pioneers of the leadership remained anonymous and found their place in the history of tourism and mountain climbing. This article omits the subject of Tatra guides, which will be the subject of a separate study.

Based on the analysis of the results of a survey of guides living in the Murmansk region, the article discusses their represents about the development of tourism in the Kola region and the place of spiritual tourism in this infrastructure. In our opinion, guides play an important role in designing and forming the travel experience. Spiritual tourism is considered as a concept in a broad sense, as tourism that attracts travelers whose main motivation is the desire for spiritual development, which involves self-realization and self-enrichment during the trip. The results of the study showed that the guides of the region are poorly involved as intermediaries in this type of tourism. This is largely due to the fact that, according to the guides, spiritual tourists should travel on their own.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract More often than not, readers of travel narratives expect to find one or several maps showing, as English privateer William Dampier wrote, “the Course of the Voyage,” that is, where the author-traveler went and, implicitly, a sense of what was seen and experienced. Dampier used a now-common cartographic strategy to tell the story from beginning to end as well as focus on significant places on the way by marking the journey with a “pricked” line. Despite the lines’ popularity and present ubiquity, the complex intellectual processes of considering travel as a continuum rather than as a series of stops and of plotting a journey onto a map have attracted relatively little academic attention. Drawing on a thousand years of European travel writing and map-making, this work suggests that in fifteenth-century Europe, maps joined text-based itineraries and on-the-spot directions to guide travelers and accompany reports of land and sea travel. Called in subsequent centuries “route maps,” “itinerary maps,” and “travel maps,” often interchangeably, what are defined here as journey maps added lines of travel. Since their emergence, most journey maps have taken one of two forms: itinerary maps, which connected stages with line segments, and route maps, which tracked unbroken lines between endpoints. In the seventeenth century, journey mapping conventions were codified and incorporated into travel writing and other genres that represented individual travel. With each succeeding generation, journey maps have become increasingly common and complex, responding to changes in forms of transportation, such as air and motor car “flight” and print technology, especially the advent of multi-color printing.

PurposeTo sufficiently fulfill the travel potential of people with mobility impairments (PwMIs), this study aims to propose a valuable supplement to facility/service accommodation by hospitality/tourism businesses by identifying and purposefully cultivating the superior motivation types for empowering PwMI’s travel pursuits despite challenges. To this end, the study proposes a self-determined versus controlled motivation subdivision to the predominant travel motivation typologies, with its practical value, theoretical value and application feasibility verified.Design/methodology/approachTo ensure the verification reliability across challenge travels, the study adopts an extreme groups design for data collection. Qualtrics surveys situated in two resort-package scenarios contrast in facility/service accommodation levels are paired with two US PwMI groups contrast in travel capabilities. An unconventional mix of analytical information and seemingly unrelated regressions are adopted for data analyses.FindingsSelf-determined motivations are found as the superior facilitators of PwMI’s challenging resort-travel pursuits, confirming the practical value of the proposed motivation subdivision. The theoretical value is verified given the subdivision’s significant explanatory power for resort-travel attitude and behavioral intentions, after controlling for travel purpose fulfillment. It is also feasible to achieve the targeted cultivation of self-determined motivations by supporting the basic physiological needs of autonomy, competence and relatedness.Practical implicationsThe study’s context-based findings on the effective motivational mechanisms for PwMI can guide hospitality/tourism businesses to improve PwMI-targeted marketing effectiveness and efficiency.Originality/valueKey theoretical contributions include expanding the explanatory power of travel motivation typologies, enhanced integration of self-determination theory into travel motivation conceptualization and more accurate reflection of the widespread presence of social factors in travel motivations.

Within tourism studies, the movement for ‘responsible tourism’ seeks to direct tourism in support of ideals such as sustainability and human rights. Central to the promotion of such ideals, however, is the tour guide who holds a critical position influencing the orientation of a tourism encounter. This article explores the capacities of tour guides to direct tourism encounters in support of human rights. The analysis draws upon tourism and human rights literature to frame tour guides within the theoretical concept of norm translators. The analysis applies a case study approach to a case of an individual tour guide leading a Vietnam tour package under the employ of a responsible travel company supportive of human rights, with the purpose of clarifying the role of tour guides in promoting human rights and elaborating the theory of norm translators.

The development of information technology these days allows tourists to get information about tourist destinations very easily. One of the ways to get information about tourist destinations is from a guidebook. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Kampung Heritage Kajoetangan's e-book application using the System Usability Scale method. The data was collected using a questionnaire. The respondents of this study are 40 people. The results show that the respondents considered the Kajoetangan travel guide e-book is already good and acceptable. However, looking at the NPS, the respondents tend to behave as promoters. Therefore, it is necessary to provide education and introduction of the application to the users (e.g. tour guides and the public). Thus, the problem of the lack of experience in trying the Kajoetangan travel guide e-book can be solved. In addition, developers, in this case, the researchers, must also improve the application, particularly regarding the complexity of the application so the public and tour guides, as the target users, can easily use it.
