Defying Political Boundaries: Transborder Tourism In A Regional Context, Walter Leimgruber

Visions in Leisure and Business

Political boundaries have traditionally been considered barriers, or obstacles, to all kinds of communication and interaction. The end of the 20th century has seen a gradual defunctionalisation of many political boundaries and a subsequent increase in transborder cooperation. Among the economic sectors that benefit from such an opening of borders is tourism, particularly on a regional scale. This paper examines the specific case of Switzerland, a landlocked country with a long tradition of regional transborder collaboration. After a general introduction, four examples are presented to demonstrate the rich variety of local transborder attractions that are complementary to each other and …

Tourism And International Borders: Themes And Issues, Dallen J. Timothy

Visions in Leisure and Business

Political boundaries are invisible, vertical planes that transect land and airspace, and they mark the limits up to which a political entity may exercise its sovereign authority. Most international boundaries have been marked on the ground in various ways as tangible lines separating societies and political systems from their neighbors. International borders have traditionally been viewed as barriers to various forms of human interaction. In fact, one of their primary purposes typically has been to hinder the flow of goods, people, and ideas between nations for ideological and economic reasons (2, 13).

Boundaries As Barriers And Promoters: Constructing The Tourist Landscapes Of Finnish Karelia, Anssi Paasi, Petri J. Raivo

Visions in Leisure and Business

Boundaries have become significant foci of interdisciplinary research during the last decade, but their roles have not been discussed very often in the context of tourism which, in fact, is crucially linked with many contemporary tendencies such as the opening of borders between formerly closed realms of the world or flows of capital and people. This paper analyses the historical and geographical roles of the FinnishRussian border in relation to tourism. The border was strictly guarded and almost entirely closed in Soviet times. It was a taboo that interested many foreign visitors to Finland. It interested the Finns as well, …

Cross-Border Trips By Canadians And Americans And The Differential Impact Of The Border, Livio Di Matteo

Visions in Leisure and Business

Same day automobile trips have been used as a barometer of cross-border shopping between Canada and the United States. The determinants of same day automobile crossborder trips by Canadians and Americans are examined using regression analysis and the results find that key determinants are lagged trips, per capita income, the real exchange rate and seasonal factors. The coefficient on lagged trips is larger for Canada than for the United States suggesting that, over time, Canadians adjust more rapidly to the desired number of trips than Americans. More intriguing is the fact that while income is positive for Canadian same day …

Attitudes Of Japanese Ski Tour Operators Toward Western U.S. Ski Resorts, Sachi Sawamura, Daniel D. Mclean

Visions in Leisure and Business

The study was designed to provide important information about the Japanese ski market to U.S. ski resort marketers. One hundred-forty tour operating professionals responded to the survey. The perceived promotional activity level of Japanese tour operating companies toward U.S. ski destinations was found to be neither active nor inactive. The level of knowledge Japanese tour operating professionals have of U.S. ski resorts was found to be limited. There was a significant relationship between how they perceived their companies' promotion activity level toward U.S. ski tour packages and how well the same professionals knew these ski destinations. There was also a …

Educational Reform Through The Implementation Of National Standards: A Response, Richard J. Reynolds

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

At this writing, federal initiatives for education reform seem to be taking their last gasps. There is a question as to whether Goals 2000 will make it to the year 2000. The development of voluntary, national standards has generated considerable debate both as to the desirability of such standards and the enlarged federal role in education. What is killing these initiatives and are they worth saving?
