Floristic Variation

Island forests are among forest habitats that are vulnerable to natural and anthropogenic disturbances, whereby the disturbances would influence the survival of biological species of the ecosystems. Langkawi Archipelago contains many small island forests and rapid development of tourism industry within this archipelago might contribute impacts to the tree flora of the forest communities on the small islands. Hence, in this study the species richness and floristic variation pattern of tree communities of two selected island forests in the Langkawi Archipelago were explored, and data gathered are anticipated to be used for management of island forests in Langkawi. Tree survey was carried out in 10 study plots of 20m x 25m each, at island forests of Pulau Tuba Forest Reserve (PTB) and Gunung Raya Forest Reserve (GRFR), making the total of 20 study plots. All trees with diameter at breast height (dbh) of 5.0 cm and above were enumerated and tree species were identified. Species data were analyzed for diversity and richness using the Shannon and Margalef indices; whilst Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DCA) was used to determine floristic pattern. A total of 1062 trees were recorded from all study plots which comprised of 49 families, 134 genera and 213 tree species. The GRFR exhibited the highest species number of 135 tree species, followed by the PTB (106 tree species). Species accumulation curves showed that the curves were far from reaching the asymptote even when the whole dataset were combined. The DCA ordination diagram clearly grouped the study plots by their geological formation that indicated a gradient of species change in GRFR and PTB sites.

Floristic Variation

This study was conducted at Pulau Jerejak, Penang to determine the floristic variation of its tree communities. A 0.5-hectare study plot was established and divided into 11 subplots. A total of 587 trees with diameter at breast height (DBH) of 5 cm and above were measured, identified and recorded. The tree communities comprised of 84 species, 63 genera and 32 families. The Myrtaceae was the most speciose family with 10 recorded species while Syzgium glaucum (Myrtaceae) was the most frequent species. The Myrtaceae recorded the highest density of 306 individuals while Syzgium glaucum (Myrtaceae) had the highest species density of 182 individuals. Total tree basal area (BA) was 21.47 m2/ha and family with the highest BA was Myrtaceae with 5.81 m2/ha while at species level, Syzgium glaucum (Myrtaceae) was the species with the highest total BA in the plot with value of 4.95 m2/ha. The Shannon˗Weiner Diversity Index of tree communities showed a value of 3.60 (H'max = 4.43) and Evenness Index of 0.81 which indicates high uniformity of tree species. The Margalef Richness Index (R') revealed that the tree species richness was 13.02. Myrtaceae had the highest Importance Value of 20.4%. The Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) showed that Diospyros buxifolia (Ebenaceae) and Pouteria malaccensis (Sapotaceae) were strongly correlated to low pH. Dysoxylum cauliflorum (Meliaceae) and Eriobotrya bengalensis (Rosaceae) were correlated to phosphorus (P) and calcium ion (Ca2+), respectively. Therefore, the trees species composition at Pulau Jerejak showed that the biodiversity is high and conservation action should be implemented to protect endangered tree species.

Scuba diving is a popular activity in small island destinations which is on the rise. However, it is particularly important to preserve the physical environment for small island developing states due to their unique biodiversity and fragile ecosystems. Scuba diving tourism in island destinations is provided mainly by dive operators who are responsible to deliver the scuba diving experience to tourists. However, despite the importance of sustainability for the tourism industry, it is unclear to which extent the marine environment or green issues are important for consumers. Studies are increasingly suggesting that sustainability is an important feature considered by consumers. However, information is sparse regarding the extent to which sustainability is a key component for customers when evaluating the scuba diving experience. In this study, 3109 text reviews from the Trip Advisor website across all 57 listed diving operators in Mauritius were selected for data analysis. Th e present study uses Leximancer, a text analysis software that conducts unsupervised analysis of natural language texts provided in an electronic format.The Gaze: Journal of Tourism and Hospitality Vol.9 2018 p.43-52

An analysis was conducted of floristic patterns contained in 48 1-ha tree plots distributed at 29 sites in seven neotropical countries, with a primary emphasis on the Amazonian region. Analyses were made with family level data, using detrended correspondence analysis and multidimensional scaling to generate two-dimensional ordinations. Dissimilarity values for all pairs of plots were then used to compare forest composition at both local (flooded vs unflooded forests) and regional scales (e.g., western vs central vs eastern Amazonia). The predominate family of trees in a large majority of Amazonian and Guianan forests (by number of stems) is either Palmae or Leguminosae (sensu latu), followed by Moraceae and Euphorbiaceae. The forests of western Amazonia are particularly rich in palms, Moraceae, and Myristicaceae, whereas those of eastern Amazonia and the Guianas are rich in Lecythidaceae and Chrysobalanaceae. Dissimilarity between sites increases with distance for both flooded and unflooded forests. The tree communities of flooded and unflooded forests within a region tended to resemble one another more closely than forests of either type resembled the homologous forests of the adjoining regions. Within Amazonia the edaphic properties of each region and its geological history are tightly interrelated. It is therefore difficult to distinguish between evolutionary and ecological interpretations of the results.

Tourism industry in the Province of Bali has rapidly developed lately. This has consequently led to the increase of the number of both foreign and domestic tourist who come to visit Bali.The rapid development of tourist industry in Bali has certain impact on the existing demograpgic structure. As an example, the populatuin growth in the tourist areas has increased considerably caused by the number of migrants who came to the region. Most of these people are non-permanent migrants of which the exact number is never known. If prior to the 1970s the population were clustered in the fertile regions, the population distribution has now changed to following the distribution of tourist industry.Tourist industry may stimulate the people of the rural areas to utilize the present existing economic opportunities. Development both in phusycal an non-physycal aspect in the rural areas is followed by the improvement of transport facilities. These close relations have positively influenced the slight demographic structural difference between urban and rural.

The Relationship

In the process of globalization, the integration of world tourism is becoming more and more obvious. With the rapid development of China’s tourism industry, Tourism in many provinces and cities has become a pillar industry or key industry, The various risks it faces are also gradually highlighted. Driven by regional economy, the capitalization operation of national culture is considered to be an effective way to protect national culture and develop economy in ethnic areas. However, national culture has brought many social problems in the process of concrete operation. This paper discusses the realistic dilemma of cultural capitalization in the tourism development of Miao villages in Xijiang, This paper points out that only by clarifying the relationship between the stakeholders in the operation of cultural capital and further clarifying the marketing strategy of cultural capital operation can we ensure the sustainable development of national culture capitalization.

Abstract. With the rapid development of ice and snow tourism industry in Jilin Province, a new economic growth point has been formed. However, the development of ice and snow cultural tourism derivatives is still in its infancy, lacking of creative expansion in breadth and historical excavation in depth, low technological content of products, lacking of added value, single marketing method, and no industrial chain structure. It is an important way to break through the convergence of derivative design of ice and snow culture tourism to tap the ice and snow natural culture and folk culture resources, create interesting derivative image design and develop interactive technology.

Objectives: The rapid development of the global tourism industry has brought about a boom in the development of the homestay industry, and the development of homestays in China is no exception. With the advent of the era of large accommodation, the country smoke-free homestay industry can not only meet people's basic needs for travel and accommodation, but also a place to experience culture and social consumption, which is an increasing need for people's better life. From the perspective of the business model of homestays, the new types of homestays that incorporate the upstream and downstream industrial chain of homestays are more in line with future development trends. In order to solve the problems of "weak", "scattered" and "small" in the form of the country homestay industry chain, and to continuously optimize the coordinated development of the country homestay industry chain, it is very necessary to adopt the following paths and measures: The first is to strengthen the coordination and integration of country homestay with other industrial chains; the second is to strengthen the agglomeration of the homestay industry and create a branded management road for country homestay; the third is to strengthen government guidance, coordinate the distribution of benefits, and create beautiful country homestay; the fourth is to increase policy support Make efforts to promote the flow of homestay talents and achieve high-quality development of the homestay industry.
