The importance of tourism in climatic-extreme destinations
Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, language: English, abstract: This paper is about the importance of tourism in climatic-extreme destinations. Using the Coachella Valley and Mount Everest region as case studies. The main aim of this research is to highlight the economic impacts on the local community to prove that both destinations are highly dependent on tourism. In the last chapter, the devastating economic impacts of the covid pandemic - as a contrary situation - on each destination are observed to substantiate the importance of seasonal tourists. Resulting, more concrete statements on tourism dependency will be made, as worldwide travel restrictions and lockdowns led to a slump in the tourism industry, directly affecting the local economy. It is a well-known fact that the tourism sector can contribute to the economic growth of a region. This is why the tourism industry plays a crucial role in destination development - both directly and indirectly. As a result, tourism generates a variety of social benefits for a region like the creation of new jobs, infrastructural improvements and allows small-sized enterprises to grow. Consequently, tourism is even more important for seasonal and climatically challenging destinations to guarantee the survivability of the local community during the low season with hardly any tourists. Therefore, it is highly relevant to illustrate this positive influence in more detail. Throughout the entire paper, case studies of two different and climatically distinct destinations will be used: The Coachella Valley as a desert in California and in contrast the Mount Everest region with unpredictable temperatures combined with a lack of oxygen. There is no doubt that Mount Everest attracts significantly more spendy adventurers every single year. In addition, the Coachella Valley in California is primarily drawn by over 250,000 visitors in April from all over the globe to attend the f
The fundamentals and strategies of nature based tourism and ecotourism
Essay from the year 2022 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 2,0, language: English, abstract: This essay is about the fundamentals and strategies of nature based tourism and ecotourism. Ecotourism, which is a type of alternative tourism, is separated into two categories: "hard" and "soft" ecotourism. Hard ecotourism is characterized by a scientific interest in the environment, biodiversity as well as wildlife. Hard ecotourism is the most opulent type of ecotourism, frequently involving a lack of hotel accommodations or other amenities. Sleeping at an environmentally friendly campground is one illustration of hard ecotourism. General or "soft" ecotourism, which is similarly based on a fascination with nature, adopts a less intense approach. Hiking is prevalent, although it is regarded a recreational activity rather than a conduit for environmental research, as it would be in hard ecotourism. Ecotourism is not designed to have negative environmental implications, but given the lack of clarity about what constitutes sustainable practices, this could happen inadvertently. As a result, it is critical to explain those negative consequences, as well as the necessity of management strategies as a tool for reducing or even eliminating those consequences. Nature-based tourism is a broad word for tourist practices that require people interacting with the earth in ways that are distinct from humankind's usual activities. Regardless of the fact that pristine countryside is desirable, tourists often want modern conveniences and tailored items. There seems to be a conflict between desired and ideal levels of growth and development because it is incompatible with the fundamental vision of eco - as well as nature-based tourism.

Online Reputation of Baku City (Azerbaijan) as a Tourism Destination
Master's Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, language: English, abstract: The focus of the thesis is to investigate the current online reputation of the tourism destination Baku (Azerbaijan), and to underline the importance of examination of the online reputation for this tourism destination. In particular, existing communication gaps between official and unofficial online communication will be closely investigated. Finally, throughout the research, scientific literature devoted to the reputation concept will be analysed and based on the findings the existing lacks in this field will also be addressed. In the last decade the study of online reputation was the focus for many scholars. The advent of the Web 2.0 allowed Internet users to produce online contents, and as consequence increased the needs to better understand how to manage the online reputation of an object, person, a company, and a tourism destination as well. Indeed, in the current dynamics of a business environment, the monitoring of online reputation became an essential part of management for organisations, and also DMOs (Destination Management Organizations) are also involved in such a phenomenon.
Exploring the determinants of satisfactory shark tourism experiences from the participants' perspective in Gansbaai, South Africa
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 decisions. Accordingly, analyses of online reviews have become particularly popular in the tourism and hospitality industry as it allows service providers to gain insight into what influences consumer satisfaction. This shows the importance for tour operators in Gansbaai's shark industry to understand what influences visitor satisfaction in order to adjust their concepts sustainably. Therefore, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

National Geographic: The Dynamic Earth, Plate Tectonics Wall Map - Laminated (Poster Size: 36 X 24 Inches)
The Dynamic Earth map illustrates plate tectonics and features stunning bathymetry and naturally colored relief, as well as volcano and earthquake data through 2011.Like pieces of a giant jigsaw puzzle, tectonic plates fit together to form the earth's outer shell. The interaction of these plates causes earthquakes and volcanoes and shapes the earth's crust into mountains, valleys and deep-sea trenches. The Dynamic Earth map illustrates 17 major tectonic plates and highlights diffuse plate boundaries, convergent boundaries, spreading boundaries, fault zones, hot spots, notable earthquakes and volcanic eruptions of the 20th and 21st centuries, earthquakes with a magnitude of greater than 6.5 during the 20th and early 21st centuries, and notable volcanic eruptions during the past 10,000 years.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 = 1:45,500,000Sheet 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.
