Abstract

This research is part of the debate on sustainable tourism development and, in particular, on the impacts that tourist pressure generates in the cities of art: the analysis is indeed focused on the Historic Centre of Florence, which was admitted onto the World Heritage list in 1982. The site adopted a Management Plan which aims at, among other things, monitoring the five main threats, including tourism and the critical issues generated by its impacts. This study aims at developing a model for the improvement of the decision making process, using maps which represent the indicators developed through the analysis of pressure, status and impact factors as perceived by the local community and by a web mapping platform for integrated and participatory management. The tool is designed to be part of the monitoring envisaged by the Management Plan in order to implement controlled and shared management systems, improve dialogue between the different stakeholders, support the definition of strategies for the decentralization of tourist areas and decrease tourist pressure and the impacts it generates.

Abstract

La 4e de couverture indique : "Un milliard de touristes internationaux chaque année, 250 millions d'employés, 10% du PIB de la planète : le tourisme est devenu en une vingtaine d'années un phénomène à la fois économique, social et politique incontournable et d'une ampleur considérable. En ce qu'il touche aux espaces, aux mobilités, à la mondialisation, il est aussi un objet éminemment géographique, et dont l'étude est en plein renouveau. Cet ouvrage dresse une géographie complète du fait touristique à l'échelle mondiale. Il propose une analyse du tourisme comme un système d'acteurs, de pratiques et de lieux ; observe sur le temps long la mise en tourisme du Monde et pose la question de la "mondialisation touristique" ; interroge les lieux du tourisme (site, comptoir, station et ville) pour comprendre leur dynamique ; identifie la circulation des modèles, tant sur les pratiques que les aménagements (duplications, proximités et innovations). Assorti de nombreux exemples pris à des échelles et territoires variés, ce manuel constitue un outil précieux pour les étudiants en géographie et les candidats aux concours du Capes et de l'agrégation."

Abstract

"This book is the first to take an in-depth examination of the breadth and scope of exhibitions, trade fairs and other industrial events as a marketing tool or channel. Industrial Events are planned events that are staged with the primary aim of marketing businesses, industries and products. This may lead to direct sales through these events, as well as the development of brand image or building brand awareness; penetration of new markets; trials of new products and knowledge diffusion. These business goals might be future-focused, with meetings of strategic players from across an industry or sector contributing to the shaping of future innovations and development. Industrial events act as a marketplace, but rather than seeing them as temporary or isolated activities, they can be understood as cyclical clusters. This is a multidisciplinary book written by an international group of leading academics, offering a wide range of case studies that feature countries such as the United Kingdom, United States of America, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Australia and New Zealand. It will appeal to students and researchers in the fields of cultural studies, history, tourism, sociology, economics and management"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Since the middle of the last century tourism has demonstrated almost continual growth, with international tourist arrivals now recorded in excess of one billion per annum. Given the global socio-economic significance of tourism, it is imperative to develop educational opportunities for those working in tourism-related industries. These opportunities should fulfil the changing needs of both industry, travellers, and the learners themselves. While the concept of lifelong learning in the tourism industry plays an important role, it has received little academic attention to date. This book provides a theoretical overview of lifelong learning for tourism, exploring its history, practice and conceptualization. It demonstrates the importance of lifelong learning for tourism from a variety of perspectives, drawing on educational, industry, policy and socio-economic insights. The book explores managerial and political implications, critical issues, best practice examples, and draws on a range of international case studies to demonstrate theory in practice. Finally, it offers a conceptual framework for future curriculum approaches. This book will be of interest to students, scholars and practitioners of tourism studies, hospitality, business and management, and international development. It will also appeal to those interested in adult education, vocational training, professional development and pedagogy.
