Cross-Border Shopping: Tourism In The Canada-United States Borderlands, Dallen J. Timothy Jan 1999

Cross-Border Shopping: Tourism In The Canada-United States Borderlands, Dallen J. Timothy

Visions in Leisure and Business

This research note examines the phenomenon of cross-border shopping between the United States and Canada as a form of borderlands tourism. This activity has always existed in the region and has traditionally been characterized by high but consistent numbers of Canada-to-US flows and lower but consistent numbers of US-to-Canada flows. However, in 1997, owing to an increase in value of the Canadian dollar and other economic variables, the number of Canadian shopping trips to the United States increased dramatically until 1992, when the value of the Canadian dollar began to fall. This in tum has led to the rapid increase …

Variability Of Tourist Attraction On An International Boundary: Sonora, Mexico Border Towns, Daniel D. Arreola, Kenneth Madsen Jan 1999

Variability Of Tourist Attraction On An International Boundary: Sonora, Mexico Border Towns, Daniel D. Arreola, Kenneth Madsen

Visions in Leisure and Business

This paper explores how and why tourism and tourist districts in border towns vary along a single international boundary. A perception about Mexican border tourism holds that the boundary itself is the primary stimulus to development. While almost every Mexican border town has some tourist function, the nature and extent of that activity will vary with a host of exogenous factors. We argue that Mexican border city tourism is largely a function of these diverse external factors more than simply a presence on the international boundary. Successful tourism in the Mexican border cities is linked to historic advantage and age …

North-South Divide: The Role Of The Border In Tourism To Northern Ireland, Stephen Boyd Jan 1999

North-South Divide: The Role Of The Border In Tourism To Northern Ireland, Stephen Boyd

Visions in Leisure and Business

Using the case study of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, this paper addresses a number of key issues related to borders and tourism: attractivity and co-operation. Visitor data from 1994 to 1997, reveals that the border itself does not function as a tourist attraction, but rather there is sufficient attraction within what is identified in the paper as a border zone. Attention is given to examining heritage attractions (those receiving over 5000 per year, and those that are free) as the position taken in the paper is that heritage tourism best encapsulates the experience available …

Cross-Border Trips By Canadians And Americans And The Differential Impact Of The Border, Livio Di Matteo Jan 1999

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 …

Host Residents' Support Of The Summer 1996 Olympic Games, Joel L. Frater, Brian Mihalik

Visions in Leisure and Business

Hallmark or mega-events have been widely hailed as opportunities to enhance the awareness and appeal of tourist destinations. Because hallmark or mega events such as the Olympic games hold the market potential for national and international tourism development, studies of host residents' support of the Olympic games hold special significance. The purpose of this study was to examine Atlanta, residents on their perceptions of the State of Georgia hosting the 1996 Olympic games. Pre and post Olympic comparisons of residents showed strong support for Georgia hosting the Olympic games, limited change is willingness to attend Olympic events, and statistically significant …

Recreation Benefits Sought By Activity And User Groups, Mary Stuart Wisnom Jan 1999

Recreation Benefits Sought By Activity And User Groups, Mary Stuart Wisnom

Visions in Leisure and Business

This research tested the relationships between benefits sought during a recreation experience, recreation activities, and user group characteristics. The data comes from an on-site self-administered survey of visitors to 13 parks in Southeast Michigan. One way analysis of variance, Scheffe's test, and Linear Regression were used to test the research objectives. The importance of different benefits varied according to user group characteristics and activities. Activity variables slightly outperformed group characteristics in predicting benefit ratings, with one exception. Groups with women rated nature enjoyment higher than men. Male only groups rated excitement higher. Socializing was rated more important by larger groups. …

Psychology In Custody Litigation, Petra Smith Jan 1999

Psychology In Custody Litigation, Petra Smith

USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)

Historically, American divorce law across the various states was based upon the moral concept of fault. The uniform presumption in a divorce case was that the perpetrator spouse owed some type of compensation to the victim spouse. Of course, this gave rise to very spectacular, but often unnecessary, litigation. Throughout the years, with the growing number of divorce cases across the country, it became obvious that such litigation had a deleterious effect on the family, especially when children were involved. Thus, in an effort to address this problem, the concept of no-fault divorce began in California in 1969, with the …
