ISCCL Scientific Symposia and Annual General Meetings // Symposiums scientifiques et assemblées générales annuelles de l'ISCCL // Simposios científicos yy las Asambleas Generales Anuales

The most important features of rural settlements are the fertile agricultural lands satisfying needs of people, the connections with the regional transportation network and proximity to natural resources such as water and fresh air. These features are important for the continuation of rural life and Gazikoy, which is known as Ganos in ancient period, has always been a rural settlement since antiquity because of them.

Throughout time, Gaziköy (Ganos) in Thrace was inhabited by different cultures. The inhabitation in the village continued all through the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman periods. The Gaziköy (Ganos) which had a Rum (Ottoman-Greek) population …

Panel 5 Paper 5.3 Rural Intangible Cultural Heritage And Ethnic Tourism: Experiences Of Yunnan, China, Junjie Su

ISCCL Scientific Symposia and Annual General Meetings // Symposiums scientifiques et assemblées générales annuelles de l'ISCCL // Simposios científicos yy las Asambleas Generales Anuales

China is an active player in the international arena of intangible cultural heritage (ICH). While China is transforming from an agricultural country to an industrial country, rural heritage, either tangible or intangible, is facing tremendous challenges and opportunities. Among Chinese provinces, Yunnan in Southwest of China can be regarded as the best case to investigate the issues of protection, use and transmission of rural heritage as Yunnan is a unique province of China because of its ethnic cultural diversity and geographic diversity. Based on literary studies and fieldworks, this paper illustrates history, cases, theories and practices in the protection and …

Historic Trading Routes In Kosovo And Albania And Their Potential In Improving Rural Tourism Through Cross National Approaches, Arnisa Kryeziu, Caroline Jaeger Klein

ISCCL Scientific Symposia and Annual General Meetings // Symposiums scientifiques et assemblées générales annuelles de l'ISCCL // Simposios científicos yy las Asambleas Generales Anuales

Trading routes have been aligning different parts of the world since prehistoric times, transporting scarce commodities from one area to another. Primarily, the majority of these routes had military character used during wars in enlarging territories but with the flourishing of trade in agriculture, craftsmanship, and mining, they gained important economic value. Parallel to this exchange of goods, these communication systems expedited influences and cultural exchange in cuisine, traditions, religion, crafts, arts and architecture.

Main centers of present day Kosovo and Albania were part of this dense communication network for trading activities, for example Via Egnatia, Via de Zenta and …

Motives To Take A Gamified Trip: An Interpretative Study Using Q Method, Ye (Sandy) Shen, Marion Joppe, Hwan-Suk Chris Choi, Sunghwan Yi

TTRA Canada 2019 Conference

Destinations have initiated different gamification practices in the last 10 years. However, there is a lack of understanding of what constitutes gamified trips as well as tourists’ motives to take such a trip. Knowing why tourists would like to engage in a gamified context can help designers create valuable games and offer more memorable experiences. This research sheds light upon the concept and categorization of gamified trips, expands the use of Q method to examine travel motives, and proposes six types of players of gamified trips. Additionally, it provides implications for DMOs on how to apply gamification to attract potential …

Residents As Destination Advocates: A Netnographic Exploration Of Resident-Generated Advocacy Through A Facebook Travel Group, Michael Lever, Dr. Statia Elliot

TTRA Canada 2019 Conference

Like many destinations, Canada began this year with an increase in international visitors (Destination Canada, 2019). An attributing factor to this growth is the phenomenon of social media and, more specifically, social networking sites (SNS) such as Facebook, which emphasize a user’s relationships, as supported by their conversations, identity, reputation, and presence (Kietzmann, Hermkens, McCarthy, & Silvestre, 2011; Kim & Fesenmaier, 2017). SNS are now deeply ingrained in our social and economic lives (Usui, Wei, & Funck, 2018; Zeng & Gerritsen, 2014), even surpassing traditional marketing channels in terms of importance and effectiveness (Burgess, Sellitto, Cox, & Buultjens, 2009; O’Connor, …

Profiling The Emotional Peaks And Valleys In Stories Of Cross-Border Shopping, Michael S. Mulvey, Charles E. Gengler

TTRA Canada 2019 Conference

The stories that travellers tell provide valuable insight to tourism managers responsible for shaping travel experiences. Access to consumer stories has never been greater due to the rise of online forums, reviews, and blogs (Gretzel, Fesenmaier, Lee, & Tussyadiah, 2010). Yet, researchers’ ability to make sense of these stories is limited by current theoretical and methodological approaches. We contend that there is an opportunity to develop new approaches to measure customer experience using advanced text analysis and sentiment indices. Specifically, we use narrative theory to explain the importance of emotional peaks and valleys in stories and propose a natural language …

The Role Of Sustainable Local Food Among Tourism Stakeholders: A Comparative Study In Vancouver, Canada And Christchurch, New Zealand, Hiran Roy, C.Michael Hall, Paul W. Ballantine

TTRA Canada 2019 Conference

Local food is increasingly regarded as an element of sustainable tourism and hospitality. This study examines restaurant and chefs’ (tourism stakeholders) perceptions, motivations, and constraints in buying local food ingredients from local farmers’ market vendors on a study conducted in Vancouver, Canada and Christchurch, New Zealand. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with restaurants and chefs. The study identified that restaurants and chefs are most interested in perceived tangible benefit such as freshness, as well as more intangible motivations such as supporting local farmers and the local economy/community/businesses. However, they experienced challenges with purchasing. Based on the findings, strategies are posited for …

Intangible Assets Valuation In The Hospitality Industry, Ruixue Du, Yuan Li, Manisha Singal

Journal of Hospitality Financial Management

In publicly traded firms, there is usually a discrepancy between the market value and the book value of the firm, often due to the valuation of intangible assets. Understanding this discrepancy is import- ant for investors, especially in the service industries like hospitality, where there is considerable industry disruption and consolidation. In this study we examine the effect of four intangible asset investments—research and development (R&D), training, advertising, and pension—on the market premium of restaurant firms. Using a longitudinal sample of 1,421 firm-year observations, the results of our analyses show that R&D, training, advertising, and pension are all important valuation …

Hotel Asset And Equity Risk Before, During, And After The Global Financial Crisis, Marilyn F. Johnson, Mark S. Johnson, Antoinette C. Tessmer

Journal of Hospitality Financial Management

In this paper, we use asset betas and equity betas over the period January 2000 through December 2015 to investigate the operating and financial risk of hotel industry REITs and C-Corps. We conclude that, on average over our sample period, the operating risk of C-Corps exceeds that of REITs. One interpretation of this result is that management contracts between REITs and C-Corps allocate more operating risk to C-Corps than to REITs. We also find that, on average, during our sample period, the equity betas of C-Corps exceed those of REITs. However, the difference between the average equity risk of the …

Liquidity Effects On Travel And Tourism Stocks Following Global Financial Crises, Andros Gregoriou, Sotiroula Liasidou

Journal of Hospitality Financial Management

This paper explores liquidity effects following the global financial crises between 2007 and 2009 for 26 stocks listed on the Dow Jones Travel and Tourism Index. We find evidence of a sustained increase in the liquidity of the stocks as a result of the financial crises. The empirical findings are consistent with the information cost/liquidity hypothesis, which states that investors demand a lower premium for holding stocks with relatively more available information. Our results suggest that the travel and tourism industry is no longer considered a luxury item. On the contrary, it appears to be more of a necessity to …

The Tendency Of Hotel Rooms Division Managers To Create Budgetary Slack, Collin Ramdeen, Marcia Taylor, Scott Lee

Journal of Hospitality Financial Management

This study explores how the budgeting system impacts rooms department managers’ tendency to create budgetary slack. The results provide support for four hypotheses, specifically indicating that rooms department managers’ tendency to create budgetary slack does change with the setting and the way the budgeting system is implemented. The major practical implication of this study is that allowing rooms department managers to participate actively in the budgeting process seems to reduce their tendencies to create budgetary slack.
