Determinants of satisfactory shark tourism experiences from the participants’ perspective in Gansbaai, South Africa
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Heide, language: English, abstract: The aim of the study is to identify the factors which influence visitor satisfaction in the shark tourism industry in Gansbaai based on TripAdvisor reviews. In this regard, the methodology used in this study is a qualitative content analysis, which is conducted inductively. At the end of the study, the reader will thus be able to understand not only what determines a satisfactory shark experience, but also what limits it. Gansbaai, a small coastal town in South Africa, is considered "the shark cage diving capital of the world", despite there being over 40 shark tourism destinations worldwide. However, Gansbaai has one outstanding feature which few other destinations have: great white sharks. Because of this, Gansbaai attracts visitors from all over the world who travel to the area with the expectation to witness this particular species, making it an international hotspot for shark tourists. However, in recent years, a decline in the great white shark population has been widely reported in the media. The decline of the shark population is not only a problem for South Africa, but globally. Today, 172 shark species are already on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Yet, South Africa is one of the few places on earth where humans have the opportunity to interact with this species at close range. The outcry is great, as the impact on the South African shark industry has been profound. It seems that this has also had an impact on the satisfaction of the participants, as an ad-hoc analysis of online ratings shows. This is critical for the industry, as potential participants nowadays take their cue from the experiences of previous people. The main reason for this is the confusing plethora of tourism services available today. Therefore, the online review platform TripAdvisor has become a reliable source for travel dec

Historical Atlas of New Mexico
New Mexico's long and dramatic history was in many ways predestined by its location, vast size, and abundant mineral resources. Treasure-hunting Spanish explorers tramped across its plains and scaled its mountains in search of the Seven Cities of C穩bola in the sixteenth century. In clashing with descendants of the prehistoric Indian population, the Spanish began three centuries of struggles that lasted through the nineteenth century when the steamroller of United States expansion arrived. The history of New Mexico is the story of the blending of the three cultures--Hispanic, Indian, and Anglo.In this volume, a historian and a cartographer collaborate to depict specific aspects of the state's geography and events of its history, with the narrative illustrated through maps. Topics include geographical data (from topography to weather), sites of prehistoric civilizations, Spanish and United States expeditions, first towns, historic trails, the Civil War, stagecoach lines, railroads, county boundaries, principal cities and roads, state and national parks and monuments, and state judicial districts.

Human-Wildlife Conflict in Lake Nakuru National Park. Impacts to the Surrounding Communities
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 89.7, Kenyatta University, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this research was to study on the impacts of human wildlife conflict in the surrounding communities of Lake nakuru national park. To fulfill the intention of this research, the objectives were: to investigate the impacts of human wildlife in Lake Nakuru national park and the surrounding communities, to determine the relationship between wildlife and the surrounding communities in LNNP and the available conflict reporting procedures by KWS. Furthermore, the aim was to examine the influence between human population increase adjacent to the park and human wildlife conflict in LNNP, to establish how the current response and mitigation measures by KWS influences human wildlife conflict in LNNP, to establish how the current response and mitigation measures by KWS influences human wildlife conflict in LNNP. To achieve the above objectives, the study adopted the empirical evidence for the analyses and presentation of data. In quantitative techniques, the analyses were supported by the use of statistical package for social science, proportions, percentages and averages to arrive at a general picture for the generation of conclusion. Qualitative data from questionnaires and active observation of some wildlife for instance baboon's and monkey behavior, and other evidences were analyzed thematically employed into the computation of statistical tables, bar graphs as well as charts. Human-Wildlife Conflict has become a serious problem in different parts of the world with adverse impacts on lives of the local people. This has been attributed to a number of factors including the fact that human population increases but the resources available are fixed. Close to the protected areas for instance, the problem is very serious with the local communities' interaction with wildlife creating negative impacts to both sides. Destruction o
Management Aspects of an Ecotourism Attraction. A Review on Idanre Hills
Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: A2, Obafemi Awolowo University, language: English, abstract: The present study is aimed at evaluating the current state of the management of Idanre Hills with the view to contribute knowledge to the sustainable development of the attraction. The natural landscape of the hills is replete with an abundance of biodiversity and a cultural heritage that has survived for centuries. Today, the Idanre landscape is a preferred destination explored for its benefits (notably environmental, economic and socio-cultural). Being in the tentative list of world heritage site, the stakeholders in accordance with the UNESCO regulation have been tasked with adopting effective management and protection strategies to ensure the development of a sustainable heritage site for the present and future generations amongst other benefits. From analysis of literature, in its current state; some factors were found to constitute barriers to the attainment of high performance in the management of Idanre hills including conflict of interests between members of the Idanre community and the state authority on the subject of management; inadequate financial resources, climate change, lack of political will, poor infrastructure, limited education in tourism destination management amongst others. Various solutions have been proffered concerning effective management and sustainable development of tourism attraction from scholarly works. Meanwhile, it is believed that the recommendations for the assessment of management performance should ultimately be in line with the criteria as specified by the UNESCO for the reason that Idanre hills is in the tentative list of world heritage sites. The outcome of adhering to these management criteria is that consequently, the conditions of integrity of the attraction are sustained or enhanced over a longer period.

Energiemanagement in der Hotellerie. Wie kann man das Klima sch羹tzen und Kosten senken?
Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Hotelmanagement, Note: 1,3, HAWK Hochschule f羹r angewandte Wissenschaft und Kunst - Fachhochschule Hildesheim, Holzminden, G繹ttingen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit richtet sich an speziell an Energiefragen interessierte Hoteliers, aber vor allem auch an diejenigen, die Interesse daran haben, im Hotelgewerbe durch einen verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit k羹nstlichen und nat羹rlichen Ressourcen ihre Energiekosten zu senken oder Installationen zur Energieeinsparung umzusetzen, um sich somit aktiv f羹r eine allgemeine Reduktion des Energieverbrauches zu engagieren. Das Thema Energiemanagement ist seit Jahren ein wesentlicher Bestandteil f羹r die Wirtschaft. Klimaerw瓣rmung und Folgen des Klimawandels sowie der Anstieg von CO2-Emissionen sind eines der gr繹?ten globalen Probleme des 21. Jahrhunderts. Deshalb ist es wichtig geworden, sich intensiver mit diesem Thema auseinanderzusetzen. Mit den zur Implementierung vorgestellten Ma?nahmen des Energiemanagements soll aufgezeigt werden, dass in der Hotellerie wirtschaftliche Energieeinsparpotenziale bestehen sowie diese fr羹hzeitig erkannt und mit gezielten Ma?nahmen und teils geringem Aufwand erreicht werden k繹nnen. Dar羹ber hinaus l瓣sst sich der fortschreitende Klimawandel durch ein erfolgreiches Energiemanagement positiv beeinflussen. Neben der Betriebskostensenkung und dem aktiven Umweltschutz soll sich der Gast, aber auch jeder einzelne Mitarbeiter durch h繹chste Komfortanspr羹che wohlf羹hlen. Beste Voraussetzungen bieten daf羹r Geb瓣ude, welche durch entsprechende Sanierungen bzw. Erweiterungen energieeffizient umgestaltet werden k繹nnen. Auf praxisnahe Weise sollen die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit dabei helfen, den Hotelbetreiber im verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit Energie zu unterst羹tzen und betriebliche Einsparungsma?nahmen zu realisieren.

Like his other books in this series, David meanders through the valleys, forests, towns and villages of the Antrim Coast by taking in the sights, history, geology, and many of the people that make this such a special place.How did the Giant's Causeway get its name? Where was the worlds first Hydro-electric powered rail service? Which former pop star owns a nineteenth century tower in Cushendall? Why does Rathlin Island have a building named after Richard Branson? How many died before the Titanic hit the iceberg? Why would you want to climb to the top of a gas holder in Carrickfergus? Are there nine or ten Glens of Antrim? Why was an elephant allowed to roam the streets of Newtownabbey during World War II?These and many other questions are answered in The Antrim Coast From A to Z.The guide includes over 50 suggestions for further reading, many of which can be downloaded freely by following the hyperlinks at the end of each chapter.
Overtourism in the City of Dubrovnik. Characteristic Features, Impacts and Possible Solutions
Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences S羹dwestfalen; Meschede, language: English, abstract: This research project deals with the question to what extent the Croatian port city of Dubrovnik is affected by overtourism and how this can be interpreted and mitigated. Overtourism is a multifaceted phenomenon that is very much on the agenda of the tourism industry today. At the International Tourism Fair in Berlin in 2018, as well as in numerous newspaper articles, but also in general language use, the subject of overtourism is omnipresent. Due to the worldwide increase in travel behavior and the growing popularity of city tourism, urban areas are becoming increasingly congested. These include overcrowded streets and alleys, public places, accommodation facilities and numerous other facilities. This often has negative social, economic and ecological effects. More and more often, headlines of disgruntled inhabitants, socio-cultural conflicts, infrastructural problems, as well as other grievances can be found in the media. In many cases, these are due to even more rapidly increasing numbers of tourists.
Tourismus und Klimawandel. Anpassungs- und Verminderungsstrategien in der deutschen K羹sten- und Alpentourismusregion
Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Sonstiges, Note: 1,1, Hochschule Mittweida (FH) (Campus M21), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In dieser Bachelorarbeit wird analysiert, welcher Zusammenhang und gegenseitiges Wechselspiel zwischen dem Klimawandel und dem Tourismus besteht. Ziel der Arbeit ist es, m繹gliche Adaptions- und Mitigationsstrategien aufzuzeigen, die die Tourismusbranche umsetzen kann, um sich den Folgen des Klimawandels anzupassen, bzw. diese zu vermindern. Der Fokus der Analyse liegt hier auf der deutschen K羹sten- und Alpentourismusregion. Abschlie?end werden die Strategien anhand von Best Practice Beispielen verdeutlicht. Der erste Gliederungspunkt des Hauptteils besch瓣ftigt sich vorerst mit dem Grundwissen, das zum Verst瓣ndnis f羹r die weitere Themabearbeitung notwendig ist. Zuerst wird das Themenfeld Tourismus genauer betrachtet. Einen Einstieg daf羹r geben eine Begriffserkl瓣rung und Definitionen, gefolgt von einem Einblick in die historische Entwicklung des Tourismus in Deutschland. Im Anschluss geht die Verfasserin auf die wirtschaftliche Bedeutung des Tourismus f羹r Deutschland ein, hierbei werden Zahlen und Daten des Jahres 2013 herangezogen. Abgerundet wird dieser Einblick in das Themenfeld Tourismus von der Auff羹hrung aktueller Trends, die die heutige Tourismusbranche pr瓣gen. Eine weitere S瓣ule des Verst瓣ndnisses ist der Begriff Klimawandel. Hier liegt der Fokus, neben Definitionen von Klima, Wetter und Witterung, auf der Begriffsabgrenzung zwischen den nat羹rlichen Klimaver瓣nderungen und den von Menschen gemachten Klimaver瓣nderungen. Auf die vorherrschende und zuk羹nftige klimatische Situation Deutschlands geht die Studentin anhand des Klimamodells REMO ein. Daraufhin wird die Analyse auf die beiden deutschen Tourismusregionen K羹ste und Alpen begrenzt und detailliert aufgezeigt, welche Auswirkungen und Folgen sich aufgrund des Klimawandels f羹r die beiden Regionen ergeben. Das n瓣chste Kapitel besch瓣ftigt sich mit dem Zusammensp
Chancen und Risiken der Digitalisierung f羹r den nachhaltigen Tourismus in Deutschland
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Sonstiges, Note: 2,0, Hochschule Fresenius; Hamburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit den Chancen und Risiken der Digitalisierung f羹r den nachhaltigen Tourismus in Deutschland. Dabei soll vor allem beantwortet werden, inwiefern Social Media die Entwicklung des nachhaltigen Tourismus beeinflusst. Um zu einer aussagekr瓣ftigen Beantwortung dieser Frage zu gelangen, wird im zweiten Kapitel der Arbeit der Begriff Nachhaltigkeit mit seinen drei Dimensionen der ?kologie, ?konomie und des Sozialen erl瓣utert. Im Anschluss wird der nachhaltige Tourismus in Deutschland dargestellt. Das vierte Kapitel veranschaulicht den Prozess der Digitalisierung. Auf Grundlage der vorherigen Kapitel, wird im f羹nften Kapitel konkretisiert, welche Chancen und Risiken die Digitalisierung bringt. Hierbei werden im Detail die Auswirkungen der Digitalisierung auf die Costumer Journey, und die Auswirkungen von Social Media auf den Tourismus geschildert. Anschlie?end werden die daraus folgenden Konsequenzen f羹r die Dimensionen der Nachhaltigkeit betrachtet. Zuletzt werden die Untersuchungen der Arbeit in Kapitel sechs zu einem Fazit zusammenfasst.
"Syltisierung". Tourismusdestinationen zwischen Wirtschaftsraum und Lebensraum
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Sonstiges, Note: 1.0, Hochschule Mittweida (FH), Veranstaltung: Destinationsmanagement, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ziel dieser Arbeit ist eine Einf羹hrung in den Begriff der "Syltisierung", der seit einigen Jahren sehr popul瓣r in den Medien vertreten ist, jedoch fachlich noch wenig Anerkennung erhalten hat, sodass die Fachquellen begrenzt waren und die Autorin viele Quellen aus den Medien herangezogen hat. Die Insel Sylt, als erfolgreichste deutsche Destinationsmarke, illustriert das Ph瓣nomen der Verdr瓣ngung Einheimischer durch den Tourismus so gut wie kein anderes deutsches Zielgebiet, sodass bei dieser Thematik der Name "Sylt" stets pr瓣sent ist. Da die Familie der Autorin drei Jahrzehnte lang in der Tourismusbranche der Insel t瓣tig war und die Entwicklung des Tourismus von der Anfangsphase des Fremdenverkehrs bis hin zum "Ausverkauf der Insel" miterleben konnte, besteht ein pers繹nlicher Bezug zu der Thematik. Im Zuge der Recherche stellte sich au?erdem heraus, dass eine Belegarbeit nicht ansatzweise ausreichen kann um dieses Thema in all seiner Komplexit瓣t und seinen Entwicklungen zu erfassen. Stattdessen entschied sich die Autorin daher, einen Fokus auf die Ursachen der "Syltisierung" und m繹gliche Ma?nahmen, um das Problem des mangelnden bezahlbaren Wohnraums f羹r Einwohner touristischer Destinationen zu l繹sen bzw. einzud瓣mmen. Momentan weitet sich die Entwicklung, mit Boom des Tourismus und der Destinationen weltweit, auf viele Regionen weiter aus, sodass es leider nicht m繹glich war alle Beispiele genau auszuf羹hren bzw. alle Konzepte aufzuzeigen. Die Ma?nahmen und Konzepte der n瓣chsten Jahre werden zeigen, inwieweit sich die Entwicklung eind瓣mmen l瓣sst und welche Mittel f羹r die Erhaltung des Lebensraums Einheimischer am effektivsten greifen.
Corporate Social Responsibility in the Hospitality Industry and its contribution to the welfare of local communities. The case of Hilton Hotels
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Tourism - Hotel Management, grade: 1,7, University of Applied Sciences Deggendorf, language: English, abstract: This bachelor this thesis attempts to apply Freeman's (1984) Stakeholder Theory in order to recognize the primary stakeholder groups, in this case, local communities. It will try to answer the following questions: How is the Hilton's CSR strategic level structured? Which role do communities play in Hiltons' CSR strategy? What are the current Hilton's CSR initiatives and goals that contribute to the welfare of communities? Moreover, it helps to clarify the company's behaviour and relationship with its stakeholders, having in mind Freeman's major idea that the best responses to the strong influence of stakeholders in a company are to balance their conflicting and challenging demands through the constant evaluation of the company's sustainable best practices. In addition, this thesis aims to examine the implication of CSR in the hospitality industry and analyse the current CSR initiatives and best practices in the hospitality industry towards the welfare of communities. Thus, this research intends to evaluate in detail the CSR strategy of one renowned international hotel corporation in order to classify the important role that communities play in the strategy and to identify CSR initiatives and best practices towards the communities as stakeholders in the hospitality industry. This study takes as example the Hilton Worldwide Hotels. The literature part of this thesis is composed by four main chapters: the introduction and research questions, the development of the CSR idea, followed by its implication in the tourism and hospitality industry and the central problematic of CSR in international hotel companies towards local communities and finally, an introduction to the relation between the hospitality industry and the society and communities. After the introductory part, the second part introduces and desc
Destinationsmarketing der Insel Sylt. Was die Marke Sylt so erfolgreich macht
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Sonstiges, Note: 1.2, Hochschule Mittweida (FH), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit besch瓣ftigt sich mit dem Destinationsmarketing der Insel Sylt und untersucht, welche Ma?nahmen die Marke Sylt so erfolgreich machen. Um zu verstehen, was ein erfolgreiches Destinationsmanagement und eine optimale touristische Vermarktung ausmachen, ist es zun瓣chst notwendig, einige wichtige Fachausdr羹cke deutlich zu machen. Des Weiteren geht es darum, zu verstehen, was die Bezeichnung "Marke" eigentlich impliziert und eine touristische Zielregion und eine Destinationsmarke eigentlich unterscheiden. In den theoretischen Grundlagen geht es somit um einer Auseinandersetzung mit der Definition und Fachliteratur, bevor anschlie?end das Fallbeispiel Sylt genauer untersucht wird, um nach der Theorie auch ein Gef羹hl f羹r die Praxis zu erhalten. Die Insel Sylt wurde gew瓣hlt, da kaum eine andere Insel in Deutschland bei so wenig Fl瓣che eine derart breite Aufmerksamkeit bekommt und so sehr polarisiert. Schon mehrfach wurde die Insel als DIE Destinationsmarke Deutschlands ausgezeichnet, obwohl man bis 2003 mit Imageproblemen zu k瓣mpfen hatte. Auch die Notwendigkeit und das Wirken von Destination Management Companies wird am Beispiel Sylt sch繹n deutlich, denn die Sylt Marketing GmbH leiste eine sehr ausgefeilte Arbeit, die Material liefert, um das Management genauer untersuchen zu k繹nnen. Sylt hat sich langsam von einem anf瓣nglichen vor allem durch Landwirtschaft gepr瓣gten Eiland zu Deutschlands beliebtestem Feriendomizil entwickelt und dabei stets auch geschafft seinen urspr羹nglichen Charakter beizubehalten.

Laminated maps can be framed without the need for glass, so the frames can be much lighter and less expensive. Map Scale = 1:45,500,000Sheet Size = 36" x 24"
Film Production and Tourism Development in Nigeria. An Analysis of the Impact of Media on Tourism
Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2008 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 4.5, University of Ibadan, language: English, abstract: This paper is about how the media in Nigeria can initiate a sense of departure to tourism sites through its movies/television programs. A major trend in tourism, this decade is the move away from the appreciation of the traditional elements of the practice-sight scenery, good weather and acquisition of luxury items -towards urban heritage -based, short -break, tourism emphasizing culture as products. The notion of departure or exit is in part initiated and constructed by a multiplicity of media, most importantly the film and television industries and packaged as advertisement. The entrepreneurs or developers of the media even in developing countries, perceive the countryside, specifically, not as a natural living environment of limited socio-economic value, but as a commodity that can be packaged and sold for a price to viewers. That is, the rural localities, locally and internationally have become popular contexts for a myriad of television serials or the setting of films and videos. The images the media foster are beamed into the homes of many people and succeed in constraining the audience to enjoy an experience of the great outdoors in the comfort and safety of the idyllic places. In other words, the viewers may be moved to go in search of the locations used anticipating the findings of what they saw on their screens and may be encountering the very role players in the presentations. Films and movies may and actually in certain circumstances serve to generate interests in locations used, especially when the setting involves attractive countryside and captivating cultural practices of the people. The films, therefore, have become of great interest to the public because they package specific cultures of the idyllic lifestyles and promote market values that can generate huge incomes.

Eine Best-Practice-Study konnte zahlreiche Erkenntnisse der Arbeit belegen und aufzeigen, dass Markenmanagement auch in der familiengef羹hrten Hotellerie mit geringeren finanziellen und zeitlichen Mitteln m繹glich ist. Die Basis f羹r den Markenaufbau sollte in den Werten der Familie liegen, die in die Markenidentit瓣t integriert werden m羹ssen. Erfolgsfaktoren f羹r ein erfolgreiches Markenmanagement liegen dabei in der Balance zwischen der kontinuierlichen Umsetzung der Markenidentit瓣t und der Anpassungsf瓣higkeit an neue Trends. Zudem ist es entscheidend, alle Stakeholder in den Prozess zu integrieren und sicherzustellen, dass die Marke gelebt und das Nutzenversprechen zu jeder Zeit eingehalten wird. Auch die bewusste Kommunikation des famili瓣ren Charakters bringt entscheidende Wettbewerbsvorteile f羹r die Branche mit sich. Zudem wurde aufgezeigt, dass Differenzierung, Risikobereitschaft, Innovationen, emotionale Beziehungen, langfristige Planungshorizonte und Kreativit瓣t ausschlaggebend f羹r Erfolg im Markenmanagement sind.

Analyse und Perspektiven von Reisef羹hrern im Zeitalter des Internets anhand von Reiseblogs und Social-Media-Plattformen
Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Sonstiges, Note: 2,3, Jade Hochschule Wilhelmshaven/Oldenburg/Elsfleth (Wirtschaft und Tourismus), Veranstaltung: Bachelorarbeit, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ziel dieser Arbeit ist aufzuzeigen, inwieweit die Informations- und Reiseentscheidung durch das Internet beeinflusst wird. Dabei soll die Frage beantwortet werden, ob von einer Verdr瓣ngung der Reisef羹hrer in Buchform durch Reiseblogs und Social-Media-Plattformen gesprochen werden kann. Die Technologien des Internets bieten den Menschen verschiedene neue Informationsm繹glichkeiten, nicht nur im Beruf, sondern auch im privaten Bereich. In den letzten Jahren ist ein deutlicher Anstieg der Internetnutzer in Deutschland erkennbar. Im Jahr 2018 nutzten ca. 84% der deutschen Bev繹lkerung das Internet regelm瓣?ig. F羹r die Informationsbeschaffungsphase kommt den Online-Medien ebenfalls eine immer wichtiger werdende Bedeutung zu. Auch bei der Informationssuche 羹ber ein bestimmtes Reiseziel geht die Tendenz der Recherche immer mehr zu Webseiten von Reiseportalen oder Google hin. Bei der Reiseentscheidungsphase spielen zudem, durch unmittelbare Vergleichsm繹glichkeiten, die Qualit瓣t und der Preis eine immer entscheidendere Rolle. Reisef羹hrer in Buchform erschienen bereits seit Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts und sind auch heute noch ein Offline-Medium, um Informationen 羹ber ein bestimmtes Reiseziel zu erlangen. Immer mehr Verlage bringen zum Buch passende Reisef羹hrer-Apps auf den Markt, welche alle Informationen praktisch auf einem Endger瓣t zusammenfasst. Neben diesen Informationen werden unter anderem auch Wettervoraussagen und integrierte Karten mit allen wichtigen Sehensw羹rdigkeiten in die Apps integriert. Durch die vermehrte Nutzung von Social-Media-Plattformen wie Facebook, Instagram & Co. wird eine Vernetzung unter Freunden und Bekannten geschaffen. Allerdings spielt diese im Bereich der Reiseinformationsbeschaffung und Reiseentscheidung nach der eigenen

Dubai und die Entwicklung zu einer Metropole. Eine kritische Betrachtung
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Sonstiges, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der Hausarbeit soll die touristische Entwicklung Dubais kritisch beleuchtet werden. Daf羹r wurde Informationsmaterial zum Emirat Dubai und dessen Tourismus sowie allgemeine Fachliteratur herangezogen. Zudem wurde, aufgrund eines zweij瓣hrigen Auslandsaufenthalts in Dubai, auch viel Eigenrecherche betrieben. Die Arbeit gliedert sich in drei Hauptbereiche. Zu Beginn (Kapitel 2) wird Dubai allgemein sowie die Geschichte und Entwicklung des Emirates dargestellt. Im darauffolgenden Kapitel wird auf die Bedeutung und Entwicklung des Tourismus in Dubai vom jetzigen Standpunkt sowie zuk羹nftigen Erwartungen, bzw. Projekten eingegangen. Kapitel 4 befasst sich mit den Besonderheiten der Destination Dubai, bestehenden Sehensw羹rdigkeiten, geplanten Hotel- und Bauprojekten sowie die Zukunftserwartungen in den Tourismusbereich. Das Hauptkapitel stellt Kapitel 5 dar. Hier wird die zuk羹nftige touristische Entwicklung Dubais kritisch beleuchtet. Als Analyseinstrumente werden der Destinationslebenszyklus sowie 繹konomisch, 繹kologisch, gesellschaftliche Aspekte und deren Auswirkung auf den Tourismus in Dubai genutzt. Dubai entwickelte sich innerhalb k羹rzester Zeit vom armen Fischerdorf zum internationalen Handelsplatz, weiter zur hochmodernen Millionenmetropole mit einer atemberaubenden Skyline und modernster Infrastruktur. Arabische Kultur verflie?t mit westlicher Moderne. Weltrekorde, wie das h繹chste Geb瓣ude, die gr繹?te Einkaufsmall, das gr繹?te Riesenrad, die gr繹?te k羹nstlich erbaute Insel und viele weitere, reihen sich in Dubais Geschichte. Das rasante Wirtschaftswachstum beeindruckt Menschen aus aller Welt. Touristen sind fasziniert, Investoren werden angezogen. Das ungew繹hnlich schnelle Wachstum bringt jedoch auch zahlreiche negative Seiten hervor. Nicht alle Bereiche sind der rapiden Entwicklung gewachsen. Auch aus 繹kologischer Sicht ist die Wachstumsstrategie Dubais bedenkl
Tourist Tax for Destination Sustainability. Influencing Factors of Tourists’ Willingness to Pay
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Bremerhaven, language: English, abstract: This paper aims to explore different types of tourist taxes and the motives for implementing them, as well as the impacts they induce on different stakeholders. Further, the topic of sustainability in tourism is elucidated. The research then deals with the willingness of German tourists to pay those taxes under different circumstances. As the literature review revealed a few qualitative studies on this topic, a quantitative approach was chosen, in order to test the results of these studies and the resulting hypotheses. It was expected, that tourists are likely to change their travel behavior due to the implementation of taxes, it was rather expected that they would not be willing to pay them. However, the study showed, that most participants are willing to pay a tourist tax, if the allocated funds are used to ensure the environmental sustainability of a destination. The factor which mostly influences the willingness to pay, is the respondents' attitude towards sustainability. Secondly, it was discovered that confidence in the implemented action seems to be of big importance. Participants who trust that allocated funds are used for the mentioned purposes, show a higher willingness to pay. Concludingly, local governments of tourist destination should increase their trustworthiness, by being more transparent, not only in collecting taxes, but also in finding appropriate purposes for spending the money on. Tourists are more likely to pay, if it is for the 'right' cause. As the overtourism problem increases around the world, many popular tourist destinations are resorting to measures, which are supposed to solve the problem totally, or to at least find ways to compensate the adverse effects created by tourism. One of these measures is the implementation of tourist taxes, which has become increasingly popular am
Picturing the Islamicate World
In Picturing the Islamicate World, Nadja Danilenko explores the message of the first preserved maps from the Islamicate world. Safeguarded in al-Iṣṭakhrī's Book of Routes and Realms (10th century C.E.), the world map and twenty regional maps complement the text to a reference book of the territories under Muslim rule. Rather than shaping the Islamicate world according to political or religious concerns, al-Iṣṭakhrī chose a timeless design intended to outlast upheavals. Considering the treatise was transmitted for almost a millennium, al-Iṣṭakhrī's strategy seems to have paid off. By investigating the Persian and Ottoman translations and all extant manuscripts, Nadja Danilenko unravels the manuscript tradition of al-Iṣṭakhrī's work, revealing who took an interest in it and why.

However, the knowledge about the outdoors over the entire history of military publication is timeless!By publishing the Military Outdoors Skills Series, it is our goal at Doublebit Press to do what we can to preserve and share historic military works, such as army field manuals (the FM series), technical manuals (the TM series), and other military books that hold timeless knowledge about outdoors life, navigation, and survival. Through remastered reprint editions of military handbooks and field manuals, we can preserve the time-tested skills and institutional knowledge that was learned through hard lessons and training by the U.S. Military and our expert soldiers.

Prospects of Halal Tourism. Fundamentals of Tourism
Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, University of Dhaka (Faculty of Business Studies), language: English, abstract: This study shares three different Islamic tourism concepts. The main objectives of the study are to determine the components of halal tourism and the opportunities and challenges of halal tourism. Furthermore, the study recommends some marketing practices of halal tourism as well as some controlling practices applicable for halal tourism. The concept of halal tourism is getting populated day by day because of increasing number of Muslim populations, the development of middle class and increasing amount of spendable income. This concept is also talking about sustainability. Halal is one of the most popular Arabic words in Islamic word which means lawful. Islamic Council of Victoria define halal as free from any component that Muslim are prohibited from consuming and processing, making, producing, manufacturing and/or storing by using utensils, equipment and/or machinery that have been cleansed according to Islamic law.
How Sustainable Development Affects the Aviation Industry. A Case Study of the Lufthansa Group
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,5, Cologne Business School K繹ln, language: English, abstract: This bachelor thesis will firstly define the term sustainability and explain what it consists of according to the Triple Bottom Line Model by John Elkington by doing a systematic literature review. Furthermore, a closer look into the airline industry will be taken to analyse which challenges and possible opportunities carriers have to face during this significant transformation. While focusing on the research question 'to what extent is the Lufthansa Group adapting to the sustainable change?', the Lufthansa Group will serve as the case study of this thesis to gain a deeper understanding of not only the theoretical elaboration but also the practical implementation of the Paris Agreement of Climate Change. This analysis will firstly work out existing definitions of sustainability and sustainable development, which will be presented in the first chapter. Moreover, a small digression into sustainable tourism as a whole will be made, which serves as a transition to the main topic of this bachelor thesis: sustainability in the airline industry. The theoretical framework of this paper will be the Triple Bottom Line Model by John Elkington. This model defines sustainability depending on three main pillars, which form the components of the term. Moreover, based on different political statements and reports, such as the Paris Agreement of Climate Change, as well as on statistics that prove not only the existence of global warming but also its consequences, the importance of this elaboration will be once more underlined. In the end, balance and annual reports, which are placed at the disposal of the Lufthansa Group, will serve as the relevant data for analysing the application of the theory to the case study with the focus on the economic and social components.

Gesundheit im Tourismus. Die Graubereiche zwischen Gesundheits-, Medizin- und Wellnesstourismus
Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Sonstiges, Note: 1,7, Hochschule Heilbronn Technik Wirtschaft Informatik, Veranstaltung: Tourism Management, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Zielsetzung dieser Arbeit ist, der fehlenden Transparenz in den Graubereichen von Gesundheits-, Medizin- und Wellnesstourismus entgegenzuwirken. ?berwiegend durch den Vergleich diverser, relevanter und qualitativer Informationsquellen sollen entscheidende Merkmale essentieller Begrifflichkeiten herausgearbeitet werden. Basierend darauf, werden argumentativ belegte Definitionen ausgew瓣hlt oder neu definiert, die nach Ansicht der Autorin den Wortinhalt am treffendsten wiedergeben. Unterst羹tzt wird dieser Prozess zudem durch ein Ausschlussverfahren und Abgrenzung zu anderen Benennungen mit differenten Kernelementen. Vor allem die Ausschlussverfahren basieren auf einem systematischen Ansatz, in dessen Rahmen vereinzelte Aussagen detailliert vorgestellt und kritisch untersucht werden. Die Abgrenzung oder Korrelation zwischen den einzelnen Bezeichnungen wird unter anderem mittels These-Antithese-Synthese hergeleitet. Resultat sollen stichhaltige Definitionen, Unterordnungen und Abgrenzungen sein, die konstruktive Orientierungshilfen f羹r das Angebot spezifischer Produkte darstellen. Dabei handelt es sich nicht nur um Produkte der Tourismusbranche in Zusammenhang mit dem Gesundheitswesen. Vielmehr werden durch abgeleitete Abgrenzungen 羹berdies Informationen f羹r einzelne, andere Felder dieser Branchen aufgearbeitet. Die Aufarbeitung der Begrifflichkeiten von der Basis her soll helfen, ein tieferes Verst瓣ndnis f羹r die individuellen Themenbereiche aufzubauen, weshalb es neben der Anbieterseite ebenso f羹r die Nachfrager-Seite informativ sein kann.
National Geographic: Scotland Classic Wall Map - Laminated (30 X 36 Inches)
National Geographic's wall map of Scotland is one of the largest and most detailed maps of the country. The signature Classic style design uses a bright, easy-to-read color palette featuring blue oceans and stunning shaded relief that has been featured on National Geographic wall maps for over 75 years. This map includes hundreds of named places including primary and secondary towns, counties, political boundaries, infrastructure, and selected historical sites. Scotland is shown in its entirety including the Highlands, Southern Uplands, Isle of Skye, Outer Hebrides, Inner Hebrides, Orkney Islands and the Shetland Islands (shown in an inset map). The nine political council areas of Scotland are also clearly identified.The map is encapsulated in heavy-duty 1.6 mil laminate which makes the paper much more durable and resistant to the swelling and shrinking caused by changes in humidity. Laminated maps can be framed without the need for glass, so the frames can be much lighter and less expensive. Map Scale = 1:650,000Sheet Size = 30" x 36"

Terrorismus und Tourismus. Folgen und Ma?nahmen am Beispiel Nizza
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Hotelmanagement, Note: 2,0, Hochschule Fresenius; Hamburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der Tourismus wird begleitet von Terror, politischen Krisen und Kriegen. Kein Thema ist derzeit aktueller. In den Medien werden die Menschen tagt瓣glich mit neuen terroristischen Attacken in Urlaubsgebieten konfrontiert. Der Tourismus wird damit auf eine harte Probe gestellt. Doch wie stark leidet der Tourismus, wie ver瓣ndert sich die Nachfrage der Touristen und was tut die Destination, um das Vertrauen der Menschen zur羹ckzugewinnen? Genau mit diesen Fragen besch瓣ftigen sich seit Jahren Forschungsinstitute f羹r Tourismus, die Welttourismus Organisation UNWTO aber auch die internationale Presse. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, die Folgen des Terrorismus auf den Tourismus und die Ma?nahmen zur Bew瓣ltigung der negativen Effekte darzustellen. Am Beispiel des Anschlages vom 14.07.2016 in Nizza, Frankreich. Dazu werden im ersten Kapital die Grundlagen des Tourismus, des Terrorismus und deren Verh瓣ltnis zueinander erl瓣utert. Anschlie?end werden im dritten Kapitel die historischen Hintergr羹nde Nizzas, die wirtschaftliche Situation vor dem Anschlag am 14.07.2016, der Anschlag selbst sowie Frankreich als Ziel des Terrorismus n瓣her beleuchtet. Das vierte Kapitel befasst sich mit der Leitfrage der Hausarbeit: Wie stark leidet der Tourismus in Nizza und weiteren Destinationen unter terroristischen Angriffen und inwiefern ver瓣ndert sich auch die Nachfrage der Touristen? Dabei werden die Auswirkungen auf das Destinationsimage, die Ver瓣nderung der Reiseentscheidung und touristischen Nachfrage sowie Frankreich und Nizza nach den Anschl瓣gen thematisiert. Anschlie?end werden im f羹nften Kapital Ma?nahmen auf die negativen Effekte erl瓣utert.
