From Liminoid To Limivoid: Understanding Contemporary Bungee Jumping From A Cross-Cultural Perspective, Bjørn Thomassen, Maja Balle
Journal of Tourism Consumption and Practice
This article is about bungee jumping and how it reflects the world in which we live. During the 1980s bungee jumping became one of the most popular ways of seeking a ‘real experience’, when the practice was commercialised and introduced as a leisure activity all around the world. This happened in the same period as outdoor sport activities or ‘outdoor recreation’ exploded in kinds and numbers, clearly linked to the ‘experiential turn in tourism’ and the proliferation of ‘adventure tourism’. A key feature of these activities is the experience of danger: going to the limits, or indeed, standing on the …

Aoraki/Mt Cook And The Mackenzie Basin’S Transition From Wilderness To Tourist Place, Anna Thompson-Carr
Aoraki/Mt Cook And The Mackenzie Basin’S Transition From Wilderness To Tourist Place, Anna Thompson-Carr
Journal of Tourism Consumption and Practice
The natural landscapes of New Zealand are a key attraction for domestic and international visitors for a variety of recreation and leisure purposes. This paper explores the interactions between heritage and recreational values for a region in New Zealand known for its sublime landscape (Bell and Lyall 2002). The paper discusses the transient movements and activities of visitors encountering this sociocultural landscape, often seeking to view the iconic landmark - Aoraki/Mt Cook – part of the Te Wahipounamu South West New Zealand World Heritage area – which is accessed via the Mackenzie Basin. Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park is a wilderness …

Another Space: Gleaning The Urban Littoral, Les Roberts
Journal of Tourism Consumption and Practice
Another Space is a short ethnographic film about artist Antony Gormley‟s installation „Another Place‟ at Crosby Beach north of Liverpool. The visuals, shot on a visit to the beach in Easter 2009, are cut to a mosaic of voices drawn from interviews conducted with visitors to the beach. Respondents are asked what the artwork means to them and what feelings and emotions it evokes. This article, written as an accompaniment to the film, as well as to Hazel Andrew‟s study published in the edited volume Liminal Landscapes: Travel, Experience, and Spaces In-between (2012), provides an auto-ethnographic reflection on the installation …

From Travellers To Activist Global Citizens? Practitioner Reflections On An Activist/Volunteer Tourist Project, Sameena Dalwai, Brendan Donegan
From Travellers To Activist Global Citizens? Practitioner Reflections On An Activist/Volunteer Tourist Project, Sameena Dalwai, Brendan Donegan
Journal of Tourism Consumption and Practice
Where their parents sought an essentially passive observation of the exotic while "roughing it‟ on foot and in sleeper class, a new generation of young travellers from the global North seek authentic experience in the global South through opportunities to actively engage with the realities of poverty-stricken slums as volunteer tourists. Free of their conventional social ties and uninhibited in their attempts to carve out new global citizen roles for themselves, the youths experience a bonding „communitas‟ with each other, and when they return home their social status is raised in the eyes of employers and peers. This paper focuses …

Single Or Married? Positioning The Anthropologist In Tourism Research, Chiara Cipollari
Single Or Married? Positioning The Anthropologist In Tourism Research, Chiara Cipollari
Journal of Tourism Consumption and Practice
In this paper I reflect upon the difference „stages‟, appellations, and roles I went through during my fieldwork in Botiza, a village situated in the North-western part of Romania. The village has developed a form of locally managed rural tourism since 1994. My fieldwork coincided with a period of transformation, in which there were very few tourists and local tourism politics were hardly developed, through a period of exponential growth in tourism demand between 1995 and 2001. Both the populace and the administration have had to review local social dynamics, in order to organise the village and deal with the …

Touristing Home: Muddy Fields In Native Anthropology, Claudia N. Câmpeanu
Touristing Home: Muddy Fields In Native Anthropology, Claudia N. Câmpeanu
Journal of Tourism Consumption and Practice
In this paper, I explore dilemmas of conducting fieldwork at home. Using examples of my field and analytical notes, I illustrate the emotional, affective charge the process of ethnographic writing can take, especially when one positions herself as a feminist and attempts to produce feminist work. I argue that there is value in allowing ourselves to inhabit this messy analytical space and to use this experience as a basis for useful theorizing.

”I Thought You Were One Of Those Modern Girls From Mumbai”: Gender, Reflexivity, And Encounters Of Indian-Ness In The Field, Pamila Gupta
Journal of Tourism Consumption and Practice
This paper is a reflection on my experiences of doing fieldwork in Goa, India (1999-2000) from my position as a „halfie‟ anthropologist, born in India, and raised and educated in the United States. I discuss three „significant fieldwork events‟ that shaped how I was perceived by „others‟(locals and tourists) in the field in order to both illuminate and complicate the gendered, racialized, and diasporic postcolonial politics of conducting anthropological research on the topics of tourism and religion. Further, I pose these encounters as dilemmas, not to be resolved but rather to be explored as impacting and complicating the fieldwork process …

Tween Tourists: Children And Decision-Making., Bodil Stilling Blichfeldt, Bettina Pederson, Anders Johansen, Line Hansen
Tween Tourists: Children And Decision-Making., Bodil Stilling Blichfeldt, Bettina Pederson, Anders Johansen, Line Hansen
Journal of Tourism Consumption and Practice
Research suggests that children influence family vacation decision-making. However, with few exceptions parents act as respondents in studies of family vacation decision-making and furthermore, children’s role is often defined as a rather passive one. Thus, it is often assumed that although children might explicate wishes pertaining to holidays, they generally submit to whatever choices their parents make. In recent years, marketing researchers have taken a keen interest in the so-called ‘tweens’, people who are 8 to 12 years old and in between childhood and the teenage years. One key finding of research on tweens is that tweens are consumers in …
Collective Strategies For Rural Tourism: The Experience Of Networks In Spain., Ana Isabel Polo, Dolores Frias
Collective Strategies For Rural Tourism: The Experience Of Networks In Spain., Ana Isabel Polo, Dolores Frias
Journal of Tourism Consumption and Practice
Rural tourism is an increasingly important activity for the European economy. Rural tourism development is complex, considering the wide variety of companies, agents and resources to be jointly managed, the objectives of each participating company, but also to broader objectives relating to the development and conservation of resources in the rural tourist destination. The aim of this paper is to provide a better understanding about the effects of networks as a strategy for improving the development of the rural tourism sector. An in-depth study of networked firms representing a rural tourism consolidated destination found that actions undertaken by networks contributes …

Managing Wine Tourism In Italy., Angelo Presenza, Antonio Minguzzi, Clara Petrillo
Managing Wine Tourism In Italy., Angelo Presenza, Antonio Minguzzi, Clara Petrillo
Journal of Tourism Consumption and Practice
At the global level, the phenomenon of wine tourism is growing and is considered to be a driver for the economic and social development of many rural areas. These areas, although not traditionally characterised by a centuries -old tradition in the wine industry, are now playing an increasingly role in the current competitive scenario. One of the main development strategies implemented by wine producers is diversification in sectors either supporting the tourism sector or co-related to it (Winemakers Federation of Australia, 1998). This paper analyses specific forms of wine tourism development and specific impacts caused by wine-related tourism. This paper …

Engaging Auschwitz: An Analysis Of Young Travellers’ Experiences Of Holocaust Tourism, Thomas P. Thurnell-Read
Engaging Auschwitz: An Analysis Of Young Travellers’ Experiences Of Holocaust Tourism, Thomas P. Thurnell-Read
Journal of Tourism Consumption and Practice
This article considers the experiences of young travellers visiting the site of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in Poland. Semi-structured interviews were used to generate qualitative data on the way individuals approach, engage with and interpret their experience of visiting Auschwitz. In analysing findings from interviews, this paper focuses first on the various motivational factors that initiate individuals" visit and, further, the manner in which individuals seek to actively engage with the site. The latter is seen to draw on imaginative devices, employed by young travellers to feel a greater connection to the site. The influence of historical, pedagogical and cinematic …

‘Non Vedete. È Un Rivoluzione.’ [You Don’T See. It’S A Revolution] Edward Lear Landscape Painter And Italy, Kathryn Walchester
Journal of Tourism Consumption and Practice
Edward Lear's 1852 text Journals of a Landscape Painter in Southern Calabria and the Kingdom of Naples details the author's painting tours in the South of Italy during one of its periods of major political and social upheaval. The text was based on his journeys in Southern Calabria in the summer of 1847 and Basilicata in the autumn of the same year. In his travel writing, Lear attempts, through a rhetoric of the „picturesque, to construct an Italian refuge for himself; one which is static and silently „picture-like. This article considers the tensions and negotiations in this text between Lear's …

Is Wellington Environmentally Friendly? Visitors’ Views Of New Zealand’S Capital, Abel Duarte Alonso
Is Wellington Environmentally Friendly? Visitors’ Views Of New Zealand’S Capital, Abel Duarte Alonso
Journal of Tourism Consumption and Practice
For nearly a decade, New Zealand has been using nature related slogans to market the country’s rural environment, or pollution-free image. The constant growth of overseas visitor numbers illustrates that such campaigns appear to be successful. However, limited discussion is provided in contemporary research on visitors’ views about environmental issues in New Zealand, and particularly in its capital Wellington. This study examines this dimension from the perspective of 353 visitors travelling to (pre-visit) and from Wellington (post-visit); these respondents completed a questionnaire distributed during August and September of 2006. In this study, comparisons are made between pre- and post visit, …
