Cultural and heritage tourism management; the value of cultural and heritage ...Witsathit Somrak
This research focuses on finding the value of local communities in Thailand and measuring the perception of local communities on the values of cultural heritage tourism and on the quality of life. The research scopes used in this study was to collect data from local people as a database, which was found by searching for local community values and creating a research tool to map the relationship between the values of cultural heritage tourism and activities relevant. This will be used to measure the perception of local communities in Thailand. The study found that most Thais recognise that the values of cultural heritage tourism has positive effects rather than negative effects, recognising that cultural heritage tourism has the most benefits economic impact, followed by culture, society and environment, respectively as well as the cultural heritage tourism has the most negative impact on the environment, followed by social, cultural and environmental issues.

ourism is one of the growing sectors in today’s economy. People move from one country to another looking for some outdoor activities which would give them some recreational pleasure. Tourism can be for many purposes, people may travel for fun, to get some meaningful experiences, going off shore to attend some events or occasions, to learn about the historical importance of any place, etc (Salazer, 2013). Tourism with the objective of gaining the knowledge about cultural and heritage of a country is becoming most popular these days. It has entirely come out with more role and scope within the sector and creating impact on the industrial participants and management. This report will picture the importance of culture and heritage management and its role within the travel and tourism sector. U.K is one of the best destinations when talked in regards to heritage and culture and it stands fifth in the ranking among top 50 nations. Culture and heritage tourism is important for this country because of its contribution in development of country’s economy and is providing 100,000 jobs across the country.
This presentation covers (1) Social impact of tourism; (2) Effects of globalization on tourism development; (3) Sex tourism and exploitation of women; and (4) Trends and issues shaping tourism and hospitality development.
The subject of this paper are rules governing protection of world heritage (cultural, natural, common heritage of humankind), on the one hand, and sustainable development on the other. Cultural Heritage and The Common Heritage of Humankind are novel legal tools that have been developed and play a key role in the law of tourism and sustainable development. There are many ways that one state can keep another state from benefiting from its cultural heritage, but international law is there to protect the rights of the host state so that the host can provide travel products and seek sustainable financial gains through tourism. When considering tourism and sustainable development, treaty drafters and legislatures have looked carefully at the products that are produced for touristic purposes; how they are utilized, consumed, reproduced and preserved. Both the needs of the host state and people of that state are reflected in Cultural Heritage law along with its rights, duties, and obligations. The greater needs of humanity are reflected in the Common Heritage of Humankind law with its rights, duties and obligations.

We will also share our challenges and success stories.
THE ROLE OF COMMUNITY-BASED TOURISM IN VISITOR DISPERSION AND THE SPREAD OF T...Wild Asia
The presentation will focus on the achievements and challenges of the community-based tourism projects of YAANA Ventures. It will highlight a number of projects, including kayaking in the Kayah State in Myanmar, the Banteay Chhmar CBT, Sambor Prei Kuk in Cambodia, and Anurak Community Lodge in Thailand. It will use these examples to inspire others in thinking outside the box and looking for new and innovative routes. With the advent of low-cost airlines, the tourism hubs in the region are under the severe pressure of mass tourism. To ensure sustainability in the sector, we need to have a more entrepreneurial spirit and meaningful cooperation between private sector, NGOs and governmental bodies to support visitor dispersion.
There would be no future Destination Jacmel if it were not for the past that shaped its landscape and left a rich and textured patrimoine, the ever-present history and colonial buildings whose doors stand ready to open today. Aiyti, land of tall mountains and Jakmèl, its southern coastal capital, have been home to Taino, Spanish, Africans and French, a stage for Toussaint Louverture and Alexandre Pétion, and a fertile ground for tobacco, cane, sugar, indigo, cigars, coffee...and a multi-faceted artistry that expresses itself with startling originality in every medium.
How To Make Community-Based Tourism Work: Multi-stakeholder Success Stories F...Wild Asia
Stories from 13 selected communities from 6 designated areas for sustainable tourism development will be shared. These communities have been on the systematic process to manage the resource vulnerabilities and risks of being too overly popular, together with multi-stakeholders co-create community tourism products to meet market demand based on an appreciation of community local wisdoms. The clinic’s discussion will be focused on how to ensure CBTs are sustained on a long term basis – what’s the secret behind thriving CBTs?
This is how i have envisioned the implementation of the community based tourism package ( SCR 6.1) to be implemented in my state through the funding of ADB. The presentation gives you a clear cut idea on what is community based tourism m how we are planning to implement it in Himachal through PRA tools and the areas that we have selected for the skill based training of which will be given to the communities in the identified clusters. These inferences have been drawn from my experiences working in following areas & organizations -
- Great Himalayan National Park in Himachal Pradesh
-Annapurna Conservation Area in Nepal
- Sikkim Biodiversity & Conservation Project
-Surya-Abha Society Ladakh
-Directorate of Mountaineering & Allied Sports , Manali
-Government Post Graduate Degree College Kullu

The development of productive and fully integrated linkages between the Agri-Food Sector and Tourism in the Caribbean Region offers significant potential for repositioning and broad-based growth in the Agriculture value chain, and opportunities for channelling the Region’s diversity and building-in genuine competitiveness and sustainability in the tourism product.
Forging Agriculture-Tourism linkages capitalizes on the inherent ability of the Tourism sector to diversify the Caribbean economy, stimulate entrepreneurship, catalyse investment and assist in wider social development in local communities. Such linkages offer unprecedented opportunities to stem and reverse the declines in traditional agriculture, stimulate the rapid growth in “new‟ agriculture and build resilience and sustainability of Caribbean economies. The latter is particularly critical for reducing the high levels of foreign exchange leakage in tourism, preserving cultural identity, reducing poverty in local communities and enhancing local awareness and good practices with respect to climate change and environmental issues.
Goal: To provide a mechanism for managing and increasing the local and regional development impact of Tourism and Agriculture through the creation of a collaborative and inclusive planning and implementation framework that can drive trade and new business between the two sectors.
Aisling Murtagh, Geography, NUI Galway, presented this talk entitled "Peripheral regional development and creative entrepreneurship in the European northern periphery" on behalf of the Creative, Liveable and Sustainable Communities research cluster at the 2017 Whitaker Institute Research Day on 6th April 2017.

Tourism Attractions
Attractions
Can be iconic symbols that capture the
essence of a destination - recognised
around the world.
They can be:
• Natural areas
• Sites of cultural heritage
• Entertainment venues
Destination Branding
Iconic attractions serve as symbols which express
the ideas and values associated with the place.
They often feature as the key visual representation
of the destination.
They may create a sense of place
Place attachment
Place dependence:
• The event could not have been held at a better
location
• The venue delivered an excellent spectator
experience
Place identity
• I can really be myself at the opera house
• I feel I belong at the opera house
Psychological Continuum Model
1. Awareness
Realisation of opportunities
2. Attraction
Affective association, behaviour
3. Attachment
Emotional meaning
4. Allegiance
Attitudinal and behavioural loyalty
Attractions
Natural areas often provide the setting for
other forms of attractions.
They support activities that may appeal to
particular market segments.
If managed sustainably, natural resources
can serve as, seemingly, timeless
attractions – of value across generations.
Attractions
Some cultural attractions are considered to be of
significance to mankind.
They may attract large numbers of tourists.
Their protection and management is of
international concern and subject to the policies
of international agencies.
World Heritage Sites

Leiper (1995).
• Tourists who engage with the attraction
• Nucleus the feature that captures tourist
attention
– In decision-making
– In situ (during visit)
– In reflection
Attraction elements
Markers give information about the

They create expectations and influence
behaviour:
• Advertisements
• Guidebooks
• The internet
• Signage
Markers
Tourist engagement with markers is affected
by:
• Perceptions of risk and reward
• Level of personal interest
• Mindfulness of surroundings
It can be an active process to enhance
experiential outcomes

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Destination
2. Why Tourism Destination Management and
Development?
• Key ‘cold water island’ issues
• Destination Management and Development
• Destination organization : getting started
• Competitive advantage and comparative
advantage
• Themed routes and competitive clusters
• Community Champions
3. Destination Management and
Development is---
---the envisioning, planning, and implementing of
changes to tourism-related infrastructure, services,
human resources, and visitor experiences that
enhance a destination’s competitive advantage.
4. Sense of Place
• What are the qualities of a real place, a
distinctive place, a place with its own history,
culture, and texture? What qualities give
certain places a feeling of character and
charisma that makes them worthy of a visitor’s
deep engagement and of a citizen’s love? Scott
Russell Sanders in Civic Tourism: The Poetry and Politics of Place, 2007
5. “Culture and heritage tourism occurs when
participation in a cultural or heritage activity is a
significant factor for traveling. … [Cultural tourism
includes] performing arts, (theatre, dance, music),
visual arts and crafts, festivals, museums and cultural
centres, and historic sites and interpretive centres.”
Canadian Tourism Commission
The Cultural Tourism Lens---
7. Some “Cold-water” island issues include:
-sustainability of island ecosystems , economies,
and societies,
• population displacement,
• tourism impacts,
• gentrification
• governance
(Warrington & Mill 2007, Gossling & Wall 2007, Connell 2007, Clark et al 2007)
Setting the Stage
8. • Competition for scarce water and other natural
resources
• Land conversion for residential and commercial
development
• Development of gated communities often driven
by retirees
• Locals forced to emigrate by rising land and
gentrification
• Unoccupied investment properties and second homes
impact community vitality. (Gossling & Wall 2007)
Island Tourism & Environmental Change:
Some Key Issues
9. • The Southern Gulf Island’s economy is small
business based, particularly focussed on
agritourism and arts and crafts, commuting
and tele-commuting
• The economic downturn impacts retirees, small
businesses, and developers focussed on
retirement properties
• Ferry Schedules and pricing critically impact
Island life
The Situation---
10. • Land development equated
with tourism by some
• Islands Trust seen by some as a brake on
development
• Emergent sustainable tourism economy not
supported as a fundamental economic reality by
some residents.
Some Issues---
11. • Community economies in BC have largely shifted to
services - based employment
• Rapid changes in global economic conditions means
shifts in destination preference
• Travel modes and choice of destination experience
are changing
• The world wide web has redefined competitive
advantage and increased awareness of alternative
travel experiences

13. Competitive Advantage in Tourism-
Is (based on) specialized factors, which are not
inherent but are created by each destination, such
as educational systems, technological “know-how”,
specialized infrastructure, and other capabilities,
which respond to the specific needs of an industry.
(Richie and Crouch 2003)
14. Competitive Advantage in Tourism-
• Focus on tourism product development,
• Destination management organization,
• infrastructure that allow access to natural and
cultural resources,
• availability of long-term capital,
• personal security and quality hospitality
services, and
• sufficient municipal services
Key specialized factors
15. Destination Competitive Advantage
• Tourism included in Official Community
Plans and Economic Development Plans
•Sustainable level of financial contribution
•Sustainable organizational structure that
manages the destination
•Focus on support for Travel Generators

23. Hardy’s 10 Principles for developing themed routes----
(Hardy, 2003, p. 326)
Themed Routes----
1. Route and/or place developed as an integrated
attraction
2. The route is marketable
3. Efficient promotion
4. Involvement from many stakeholders
5. Promotion material based on visitor needs
6. Route clearly signed
24. 7. Attractions reflect local culture, with quality service
8. Principles of interpretation applied resulting in
enjoyable thematic interpretation
9. Price of visitor’s route experience cost effective
10. Route sustainability ensured by protection of natural
and cultural assets.
25. The Competitive Cluster Approach
• A strategic set of activities and services organized as
an effective tourism supply chain.
• The core of the “cluster” is the comparative
advantage represented by a destination’s unique
characteristics and interpretive programming.
• The competitive cluster links all the complementary
visitor services and attractions in a destination area.

What organizational structure is needed to start
tourism destination planning?
30. Success stories require:
– solid vision
– strong leadership
– effective partnerships
– adequate financing

planning committee/task force
• accessing and distributing information
• encouraging council or governance boards to look
at the value of tourism
• drawing upon outside resources and expertise
