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.

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"

The impact the wine industry has on the Indian economy has also been illustrated. Details of the major Indian wine manufacturers and the potential they have has been studied.

The advantages and disadvantages faced by Indian wine manufacturers have been illustrated. Studies have shown the positive health benefits of moderate wine consumption The Indian market is a very young market. Indian wine manufacturers are still coming to terms with a small but growing consumer base. Numerous foreign studies have shown that the India has a good potential for wine marketing. Given the low levels of wine consumption, in comparison to Beer and Hard Liquor, this research identifies the wine consumers' perceptions and demographics. The research offers the wine manufacturers a target group on whom to focus their marketing strategies on. It also evaluates the perceptions of the wine consumer in respect to wine being an acceptable drink in a family environment and notions of wine perceived as a luxury drink.

India is the second largest populated country with a population of 1.2 billion people and a large middle class of over 250 million people. We could be consuming about 250 million liters of wine annually if each person dran
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.

Erfolgreiche Umsetzung von nachhaltigen Festivalkonzepten am Beispiel des Tollwood Festivals
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Sonstiges, Note: 1,3, Hochschule Fresenius; Hamburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Umsetzung der Nachhaltigkeit bei Festivals. Am Beispiel des Tollwood Kulturfestivals in M羹nchen werden die Aspekte der Umsetzung beispielhaft belegt. Ziel der Arbeit ist es folglich herauszuarbeiten, inwiefern die Nachhaltigkeit auf einem Festival umgesetzt werden kann und bereits wird. Daf羹r werden zun瓣chst im Theorieteil die notwendigen Begriffe Nachhaltigkeit und Festival definiert, um eine einheitliche Basis zu schaffen. Kapitel drei besch瓣ftigt sich mit der Zusammenwirkung der beiden Komponenten. Das vierte Kapitel befasst sich mit der Leitfrage der Hausarbeit: Welche M繹glichkeiten gibt es, ein Festival 繹kologischer und umweltvertr瓣glicher zu gestalten? Dabei werden die Themen Mobilit瓣t und Transport, Energiemanagement, Abfallmanagement, Wassermanagement und die Gastronomie thematisiert. Anschlie?end werden im f羹nften Kapitel die Umsetzung der Handlungsfelder am Beispiel des Tollwood Festivals erl瓣utert. Im sechsten Kapitel wird ein abschlie?endes Fazit gegeben. Gro?veranstaltungen wie Festivals sind mit einer hohen Natur- und Umweltbelastung verbunden. Menschenmassen kommen zusammen, tanzen, h繹ren Musik, essen und trinken, sie verbrauchen Ressourcen. H瓣ufig campen sie mitten in der Natur. Mengen an Abfall, weggeworfene Verpackungen, leere Dosen, Flyer und Werbeartikel bestimmen h瓣ufig das Bild eines Festivals. Das heutige Handeln bestimmt ausschlaggebend das Leben der n瓣chsten Generationen. Die Menschheit ist daf羹r verantwortlich, dass auch in Zukunft noch gute Lebensbedingungen vorgefunden werden k繹nnen. Nach diesem Gedanken sollte das Verhalten ausgerichtet werden - auch bei der Gestaltung von Festivals.
Venice and the Impact of Overtourism
Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, Fresenius University of Applied Sciences Hamburg, language: English, abstract: It is Easter Sunday 2018 and there are 125,000 visitors in Venice, a number that the country of Bangladesh welcomes annually. The increasing in cheap airfare has triggered a boom in the tourism industry. 2017 saw 1,3 billion international travelers, a growth of 7% over 2016. There are more people travelling around the world than ever before. Moreover, the way of traveling has changed from a few-day trips, including overnight stays in hotels and exploring the city and getting to know the locals, to day- or hour-long trips. In the 17th century a trip to Venice was affordable by only the upper class of northern Euro-peans, who visited the city as a part of their Italian tour. Writers and artists were inspired by the magic of the lagoon city. The most romantic of cities, that is what visitors considered Venice and it has that reputation still to this day. Tourism is the main economy of Venice and it offers a lot of job opportunities. But on the other hand, it is one of the most touristic cities in the world with 30 million visitors annually, and that for a city with a population of 55,000. Tourists overflow the city, they are not concerned in supporting sustainability of the city and not conscious about the negative impact they leave behind. One could argue that tourism has become an issue rather than a resource for Venice. The natural environment of Venice and its residents are suffering from their popularity and the effects of overtourism. I would argue that all stakeholders in the tourism sector in Venice need to urgently act and start building a sustain-able future for the city. To withstand overtourism and to save the city and its inhabitants from extinction. This essay outlines positive and negative impact of overtourism in Venice concerning the economy, the social sector and its natural environment

Incorporating the Principles of Sustainable Tourism into the Strategic Marketing SystemAn
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2008 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, Heilbronn University, language: English, abstract: Tourism is often considered a welcome source of economic development providing employment opportunities, producing means of earning foreign exchange, and stimulating the local economy. The tourism sector is more complex than economic activity alone, since the social, political, technical and ecological environments also have a strong influence on it and vice versa. "Conventional" mass tourism is associated with numerous negative effects, such as environmental destruction and loss of cultural heritage. For this reason, some of the terms that have surfaced over the last decade are "sustainable" tourism and "alternative" tourism. The increasing awareness of consumers about Corporate Social Responsibility and environmental issues has brought forward a new target group named the "morally conscious tourist". Destinations and especially international corporations alike advertise with these terms as a means to differentiate themselves, reaching out for this new, emerging customer segment. However, sustainability should not merely be a marketing ploy to reach new customers or to perform "greenwashing" in order to appear more environmentally friendly. In fact, it is a complex and difficult task to achieve the implementation of sustainable business practices and to develop sustainable tourism products. It is exactly this challenge the research paper will focus on by analyzing how to incorporate the principles of sustainability into the marketing system of tourism businesses or destinations. An exploratory as well as descriptive research design based on external and internal secondary data is used in order to obtain information that can answer the research question. The first aspect to be studied in this research paper is the development of tourism and the tourism industry with regards to the emergence of mass tourism, as well as the critic
Kundenbindungsprogramme bei touristischen Leistungstr瓣gernMiles & More, Hilton Honors, Bah
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Sonstiges, Note: 1,0, DIPLOMA Fachhochschule Nordhessen; Zentrale, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der vorliegenden Arbeit geht es um Chancen und Anforderungen von Kundenbindungsprogrammen bei den touristischen Leistungstr瓣gern "Deutsche Bahn", "Lufthansa" und "Hilton" im Vergleich. Kundenbindungsprogramme wurden in den letzten Jahrzehnten bei Kunden als auch bei Unternehmen beliebt und haben sich so als moderne Marketingstrategie etabliert. Gerade weil diese Programme oft stark vom Kostenfaktor sowie vom Nutzenfaktor untersch瓣tzt werden, sollte darauf geachtet werden, dass der Umfang nicht bewertet wird. Ein KBP kann sehr vielschichtig sein und kann wichtige Daten 羹ber Kunden liefern. Hierbei spielt es keine Rolle, ob es nur die Zufriedenheit des Kunden, das Befriedigen von Gewohnheiten, die Lieblingssitzplatzposition im Flugzeug oder die Pr瓣ferenzen eines Hotelzimmers sind.
Digitale Revolution im Tourismus. Chancen und Risiken f羹r die Hotellerie
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Sonstiges, Note: 1,7, IU Internationale Hochschule, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Das wesentliche Ziel der Arbeit ist es, herauszufinden, welche Chancen und Risiken die Digitalisierung f羹r touristische Dienstleister mit sich bringt. Mithilfe eines Experteninterviews sollen Erkenntnisse bez羹glich der oben aufgeworfenen Thematik gewonnen und die jeweiligen Chancen und Risiken genauer betrachtet werden. Ebenso soll aus den Experteninterviews abgeleitet werden, inwiefern sich die Hotellerie bereits mit der Thematik der Digitalisierung auseinandergesetzt hat und welche digitalen Umsetzungen 羹berhaupt m繹glich sind. Die digitale Revolution ruft eine Ver瓣nderung des Denkens und Handelns in der Hotellerie hervor. Neue Technologien werden bedeutender und aus diesem Grund m羹ssen sich touristische Dienstleister, insbesondere Hoteliers, ebenfalls mit dem Thema der Digitalisierung auseinandersetzen. Fraglich ist, ob die Hotellerie sich bewusst ist, welche Chancen, Risiken und M繹glichkeiten durch die Digitalisierung entstehen, und ob die Unternehmen noch zu gro?e Vorbehalte gegen羹ber der Digitalisierung haben.

The American Practical Navigator, first published in 1802, was billed as the "epitome of navigation" by its original author, Nathaniel Bowditch. The text has evolved with the advances in navigation practices since that first issue and continues to serve as a valuable reference for marine navigation in the modern day. The publication describes in detail the principles and factors of navigation, including piloting, electronic navigation, celestial navigation, mathematics, safety, oceanography and meterology. It also contains various tables used in typical navigational calculations and solutions, including the formulas used to derive the tabular data. - NGA
Urlaubs- und Freizeittourismus in Hessen. Hessen Mobility+ Card als zuk羹nftige Mobilit瓣tsl
Projektarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Sonstiges, Note: 1.0, Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, ehem. Fachhochschule Frankfurt am Main, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Arbeit beschreibt die Projektausarbeitung der "Hessen Mobility+ Card", welche das Ziel verfolgt, den 繹ffentlichen Nahverkehr f羹r ausl瓣ndische G瓣ste attraktiver zu gestalten. Durch die Entwicklung der "Hessen Mobility+ Card" soll vor allem die L羹cke im Angebot des Rhein-Main-Verkehrsbunds hinsichtlich eines Mobilit瓣tsangebotes speziell f羹r Touristen aus dem Ausland, die nach Hessen reisen, geschlossen werden. Dabei ist es essentiell, dem Touristen ein verst瓣ndliches, sinnvolles und attraktives Angebot zu unterbreiten, welches er letztendlich auch wahrnimmt und eine echte, sowie g羹nstigere Alternative zu Mietwagen oder Gruppenreise im Reisebus erh瓣lt. Die Basis des Tickets stellt ein ?PNV Ticket f羹r alle 繹ffentlichen Verkehrsmittel in ganz Hessen und einige ?bergangsgebiete an den hessischen Grenzen dar. Damit wird sichergestellt, dass es keine Verwirrungen oder Unklarheiten 羹ber G羹ltigkeit und Einsetzbarkeit gibt, denn es wird potentiellen Kunden erm繹glicht, das ganze Bundesland per Bus und Bahn zu erkunden.
