Defying Political Boundaries: Transborder Tourism In A Regional Context, Walter Leimgruber Jan 1998

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 …

Field Of Dreams: Sponsorship Opportunities In Sport Tourism, Douglas Michele Turco

Visions in Leisure and Business

The perceived short- and long-term economic benefits of the World Cup, Olympic Games, Super Bowl, and the like have led businesses to develop joint bids with governmental units in effort to host such events. Increased competition has also created a need for businesses to find ways to differentiate their products in the market place, reach and influence new markets, and to get more return for their promotional dollars. For some, sport sponsorship has become an effective marketing strategy. This article describes the extent of sport tourism event sponsorship, why and how sponsorships are obtained, and issues involving sport sponsorship, including …

Visions For South African Sport Tourism, Kamilla Swart

Visions in Leisure and Business

Sport tourism is a segment of the tourism industry which is growing rapidly. In South Africa it is slowly being recognized as an important niche market within the tourism sector.

This article will review the development of sport tourism in postapartheid South Africa by giving a brief description of the SAST initiative. It will further describe various issues, such as community involvement, private sector involvement, integration of sport and tourism bodies, and education and research, which must be …


Boundaries As Barriers And Promoters: Constructing The Tourist Landscapes Of Finnish Karelia, Anssi Paasi, Petri J. Raivo Jan 1998

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 Jan 1998

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 …

Teacher's Lives And Beliefs: Influences That Shape The Teaching Of U. S. History, Michael H. Romanowski

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

The purpose of this study was to examine the complex influences that shape the teaching of U. S. history. Six secondary American history teachers participated in interviews and classroom observations centering on factors that affect their approach to the teaching of U. S. history. Findings indicate that there are various influences that play a significant role in determining the version of U. S. history students have the opportunity to learn. These include teachers’ personal beliefs about religion and morality, the affect of history professors, and teachers’ social class and family backgrounds. Several suggestions are made as to how teacher education …


Appropriate Educational Applications Of The World Wide Web Today, Loren D. Malm, Bobby G. Malone, Fred W. Nay, Brad E. Oliver, Nancy G. Saunders, Jay C. Thompson Jr. Jan 1998

Appropriate Educational Applications Of The World Wide Web Today, Loren D. Malm, Bobby G. Malone, Fred W. Nay, Brad E. Oliver, Nancy G. Saunders, Jay C. Thompson Jr.

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

Although the majority of web based educational tools of today are unremarkable, are sometimes difficult to access and are not completely reliable, there is a mounting push for students and faculty to use these tools. The formidable technical challenges that confront students and faculty attempting to implement these technologies often quickly overshadows the more fundamental question—how should existing and future technologies be used in the teaching and learning process? Assuming, for example, that a given piece of technology could be implemented universally without difficulty and perform exactly as expected, what is the impact? Having made fair and unbiased evaluations concerning …

This paper demonstrates how one mid-western, suburban elementary classroom has enhanced its curriculum and improved classroom interaction by maximizing Internet technology. In addition to reviewing the merits of this case study, the reader will also: (a) be presented with a rationale for utilizing Internet technology with existing curricula, (b) examine the current debate on the issue of …


The Role Of Communication In Providing Leadership For School Restructuring, Theodore J. Kowalski Jan 1998

The Role Of Communication In Providing Leadership For School Restructuring, Theodore J. Kowalski

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

Educational reform now focuses largely on school restructuring. In this context, both transformational leadership and cultural change paradigms have become critical issues for school administrators. The argument is made that both concepts are inextricably linked to communication. Consequently, leadership for change requires both an adequate knowledge base pertaining to leadership and organizational theory and knowledge and skill in the area of communication theory. A research agenda for studying communication in schools and the inclusion of communication theory in the preparation of school administrators are recommended.

Qualitative evidence collection techniques included focus group interviews, telephone interviews, and eight survey instruments. Analysis of students’ responses to the Internet site focused on coping strategies developed by students to manage the stresses and benefits of …


Observation Of Instruction Via Distance Learning: The Need For A New Evaluation Paradigm, Bobby G. Malone, Loren D. Malm, Fred W. Nay, Brad E. Oliver, Nancy G. Saunders, Jay C. Thompson Jr. Jan 1998

Observation Of Instruction Via Distance Learning: The Need For A New Evaluation Paradigm, Bobby G. Malone, Loren D. Malm, Fred W. Nay, Brad E. Oliver, Nancy G. Saunders, Jay C. Thompson Jr.

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

Technology as a tool used to enhance instruction must be viewed in its proper perspective. Instruction via distance learning is an excellent example. Instruction must be appropriate for the intended audience, and must be observed and evaluated within the expectations of criteria used for evaluating effective teaching. Traditional criteria may be appropriate for evaluating regular classroom instruction, but not appropriate for distance learning instruction. Criteria such as “wait time and questioning techniques,” are well documented, but were derived through tedious observation and recordings of repetitive behaviors within a regular classroom. As an administrator or evaluator observes in a classroom where …
