The PRODOC4018 project aimed to develop tools for the planning and management of the Carioca landscapes, a World Heritage Site since 2012. The proposal promotes a shared and integrated management of cultural heritage of excellence through preservation guidelines, with intervention criteria and protection and management tools incorporated in action plans and geo-referenced monitoring mechanisms. These analysed properties were located in the World Heritage area and its surroundings, 'Carioca Landscapes: between the mountain and the sea.

ACRL New England Chapter Annual Conference

The modern library has seen a new area of our holdings and collection efforts emerge: unique digital collections. As our users’ needs and fluency with technology have changed, so have our library services and avenues for information delivery. Our users want digital materials at the ready, and they want them now! While our holdings have easily adapted to acquiring additional databases and new ebooks, how do we address the growing need for our unique materials to be digitized?

Travel and Tourism Research Association: Advancing Tourism Research Globally

This study examined Virginia Beach hoteliers’ knowledge surrounding sustainable tourism, awareness of sustainable programs offered both on the local and national levels, and evaluation of the current sustainable programs available in Virginia Beach. The Virginia Beach Convention & Visitors Bureau distributed a sustainability-focused survey to the General Managers of all hotels in Virginia Beach city limits. With the various programs available and limited success to this point, it is imperative to get hoteliers involved in order to continue to work toward Virginia Beach’s vision of being a sustainable destination.

Antecedents Of Effective Environmental Management In A Hotel Setting: A Test Of The Value-Belief-Norm Theory, Simon D. Rubin, Dave D. White, Woojin Lee, George Basile

Travel and Tourism Research Association: Advancing Tourism Research Globally

The purpose of this quantitative study is to test the validity of a behavioral theory in the context of environmental hotel management. The lack of theoretical consideration in previous studies on environmental attitudes of hotel/resort managers warrants an investigation of a theory with the potential to better explain behaviors that support the goals of environment management systems. The goal of this research was to document the values, beliefs, personal norms, and environmental management support behaviors of managers in a hospitality setting to test the behavioral theory. Data were collected from a sample of hotel and resort managers in the Phoenix …

Sustainable Tourism Marketing: Doing Justice To Place, People And Pasts, Tazim Jamal, Blanca Camargo

Travel and Tourism Research Association: Advancing Tourism Research Globally

While a few authors have attempted to build the notion of sustainable tourism marketing on the broad principles of environmental, social and economical sustainability as well as social marketing (Dinan and Sargeant, 2000), the approach remains vague in practice, ill-defined and subject to criticism by researchers and academics (e.g., Mowforth and Munt,1988). Jamal and Jamrozy (2006) argue that vital destination functions are fragmented rather than well-networked, so that marketing, land-use planning, resource use and conservation have tended to operate in isolation from each other and from societal values and resident/visitor needs; such a marketing-planning gap is no longer tenable. In …

The Greening Of Marshall University: Examining The Effects Of Campus Conservation Projects On The Student Experience, David Graefe, Amanda Williams

National Environment and Recreation Research Symposium

Conservation and sustainability have become increasingly important issues in an era of rapid human development and environmental change. As beacons of wisdom and progress, universities serve as important places where people can learn, both formally and informally, about important and emerging contemporary issues. Thus, it is not surprising that many universities have been overtly increasing their efforts to conserve the environment and operate in as sustainable a manner as possible. Marshall University (MU) has undertaken many projects to promote informal education focused on conservation and sustainability over the past several years. Some of these projects include the creation of a …

Benefits Of Emptu Promises: Ecotourism And Local Communities, Tamara R.O. Hewlett, Sarah Nicholls

National Environment and Recreation Research Symposium

Abstract

Recent tourism trends have included a shift from traditional packaged tours towards more ecologically-minded and sustainable models, often called ecotourism. Ecotourism is the fastest growing form of international tourism, averaging a 20% growth rate per year since 1990 (www.Ecotourism.org 2006). Ecotourism has been treated by many as a panacea to balance the needs of development and conservation. This case study examines a community-based ecotourism project in rural Chi Phat, Cambodia, assessing whether tourism is delivering on its promise to provide development and conservation benefits. Utilizing open-ended interviews and secondary survey data, the case study examines three issues: community members’ …

Is There A Vampire Lurking In Your Hotel? An Examination Of Standby Power Consumption In Virginia Hotel Rooms, Michael P. Quinn

Graduate Student Research Conference in Hospitality and Tourism

Hotels are always looking for ways to cut costs and standby power creates an unnecessary expense for hotels through wasted electricity. As much as 10% of the power in residences is consumed by standby power and older appliances such as televisions are the largest consumers of standby power. The ENERGY STAR program has developed standards for standby power consumption to decrease the energy consumed in standby mode, however older appliances already in many hotels are not ENERGY STAR compliant. Rather than replacing all appliances, hotels must come up with other ways to reduce standby power consumption while considering the needs …

Consumer Willingness To Pay For Environmentally Produced Wines, James B. Ward, Nelson Barber, Sean Barth

Graduate Student Research Conference in Hospitality and Tourism

The purpose of this research is to identify the value of environmental characteristics using wines from two different wine growing regions. In addition, estimating consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for wine characteristics using incentive compatible laboratory experiments with participants randomly selected from the general population will be introduced. Results will seek to examine the different relationship that sensory characteristics and label information have on consumers. In the study, we will also show the valuable information environmental characteristics provide to consumers and producers of wine within a certain price range.

Consumer Perceptions Of Sustainability In The Lodging Industry: Examination Of Sustainable Tourism Criteria, Stuart E. Levy, Philippe Duverger

International CHRIE Conference-Refereed Track

While the lodging industry has recognized the importance of engaging in corporate social responsibility (CSR), most hotel CSR efforts focused on sustainable development are oriented towards environmentally-oriented practices. This study examines consumer perceptions of CSR from a more holistic perspective of sustainability, utilizing the recently developed Global Sustainable Tourism Criteria. Findings reveal that while hotel green efforts impact key marketing outcomes such as satisfaction, retention, positive word of mouth, and price premiums, higher level constructs including respect for heritage and community are suggested to mediate the relationship between these green efforts and the marketing outcomes, implying a hierarchy of effects. …
