The Silent Language

The tourist: A new theory of the leisure class.

This chapter summarizes important aspects of tourism public policy research. It focuses on research approaches and methodologies, and considers the limitations of policy analysis. Debates and discussions concerning shifts in focus, for example from government to governance, are described. Future directions for research in areas such as metagovernance, digital citizenship (“citizen 2.0”), and e‐governance are presented. We conclude that research in tourism public policy remains fragmented, and there appears to remain a reluctance by most scholars in this field to engage in deeper discussions of public policy and political studies in ways that make contributions to those disciplinary areas outside the field of tourism studies.

Tourism and recreation in rural areas.

Personal construct theory was used to study the appraisive images held by tourists visiting the North Coast of New South Wales. In the first stage of the research, subjects produced a wide variety of constructs in differentiating between tourist places. This enabled the identification of six key evaluative constructs. In the second stage of the research, these constructs were incorporated into repertory grids that revealed how places were viewed. Principal components analysis showed that very similar images were held by tourists irrespective of age and sex, but that slight differences emerged between the images held by tourists and those held by workers in the tourist industry. The evaluative constructs identified may provide a general basis for understanding tourist perceptions.

Appraisive images of tourist areas: application of personal constructs.

Informed tourism policies and plans require a critical appreciation of the historically complex and dynamic contexts in which public policy is developed and implemented, and of the impacts of public policy. The principle aim of Tourism Planning and Policy is to raise students' and practitioners' knowledge of tourism planning and policy-making and help develop their skills in analysing policy and planning processes and outcomes in diverse settings. A second aim of the book is to give practical insights and understandings that students will be able to apply in a range of careers in the private sector or the public service. This text forms a valuable addition to the Wiley Australia Tourism Series.

Tourism planning and policy

Tourism is essentially place-based and involves the production of destination identity at different scales. At any one time, organizations at national, regional and local levels are actively engaged in presenting and promoting place identity in order to attract tourists and increase market share. The drive to establish distinct destination identity in the tourism market place is derived from a range of complex and competing interests manifested at global and local scales. This paper focuses upon interconnections between place identity and the institutions of tourism planning and policy-making at the regional level. In New South Wales, Australia, regional tourism organizations are contentious. It is argued that more profound insights into the problems and challenges of regional tourism organizations can be gained by examining the global–local dialectic.
