Broad Understanding

The study of sport tourism has become very popular in the western countries. Therefore, it is aimed at grasping the knowledge of sport tourism from those studies: its nature, scope, significance, concepts, theories, approaches, models, perspectives and paradigms. This paper is intended to provide a broad understanding of sport tourism and its implications to the people who are involved in the tourism industry. It is believed that activities in sport and tourism build social capital by bringing people together and establishing their relationship. In this way they are making the world a smaller place contributing to greater understanding between different cultures, tolerance and ultimately, to world peace with a focus on adventure sport tourism. The study of sport tourism is equally important in the context of Nepal because it is one of the popular destinations for adventure sport tourists and tourism. This paper discusses on water sport in terms of whitewater river rafting tourism in the context of Nepal, which is still ignored and untouched in the field of academia.The Gaze: Journal of Tourism and Hospitality Vol.5 2013 pp.13-42

This article examines the conceptual encounter of coexisting worldviews in the lands around the Mediterranean through the concept of the oikoumene, ‘the inhabited world’. Different cultures, such as the Roman and the Jewish, adopted the term, but distinctively adapted it around their own understanding. The result was a tension for early Christians between two parallel worldviews. The biblical authors considered it significant to elucidate the genuine Lord of the oikoumene, who was thus its centre. Luke employs the oikoumene in Luke-Acts and provides his own worldview, particularly, in Acts 17. Here he intends to suggest that the Roman oikoumene is to be gradually supplanted by the Christian oikoumene (17:6). At the same time, Luke claims that the Acts’ narrative portrays the inhabited world where the early Christians lived as restored into the authentic world created and ruled by God through Jesus (17:31). Similarly, the inhabited world represented in Acts is the world that God designed all nations (God’s offspring) to inhabit, and God has allotted the boundaries of the nations where the people are to dwell.

Music is a language that is expressed through the audible sounds for which no one requires a translation, therefore music can be utilized, when shared between cultures in the right fashion, as a tool to increase brotherhood among people in the world. Sharing music by means of a concert or audio-visual tools falls short when it comes to penetrating the human sentiment. Our concert audiences always tend to prefer the music that they were brought up with; our music schools only answer to the European tradition. One can conclude that an appreciation of different musical cultures in the world depends on the degree of musical education at an early stage. Therefore one must consider an early musical education starting at the elementary school level. We believe that every child should be educated within its own culture first, in order to proceed to develop an appreciation of the culture of fellow nations within the same continent. Once a cultural foundation has been established – including the musical aspects – the child must be familiarized with and learn to appreciate the music and people of different continents in order to slowly become a world citizen. It is not the intention of this ambitious plan to unite the music of different cultures, but rather to maintain the musical diversity of the different continents, each with its own rich instrumental and vocal heritage, that accompanies people from birth until death. This diversity deserves to be perpetuated, as is done with musical masterpieces which can be attributed to their composers. Thus it can be achieved that the people of different nations may contact and communicate by means of a not yet exploited sonorous language which is familiar to everybody.

Summary Objectives The intention of this paper is to discuss the changes that have taken place in the past fifty years and the changes that we expect in the next fifty years. We will look into the political and economic changes in the global economy and see what some of the trends that are predictable will lead to (population decreases in developed countries and difficulties funding pension schemes in developed countries…). We will also investigate some of the major issues with which humanity will have to deal with in the next fifty years for which the end is less predictable (energy depletion, resource depletion, economic integration…). We will discuss the changes that have gone on and the changes that we can expect, explaining how the tourism and hospitality industries have responded and will have to respond to the major and impactful changes that will come. Methodology The methodology is an investigation of the economic and political trends of the past fifty years and a discussion of the probable continuation of some of the trends and probability of major shifts in the next fifty years. Main Results and Contributions In 1968, the world was different from now and the tourism industry has undergone a transformation as a response to major social, political, and economic changes. Fifty years on, we have transitioned from the world of the Cold War and are well into the digital age with a globalized political economy. Here, we take the time to discuss the ways that the great political, economic, and social transformations of the last 50 years have impacted upon the social practice of tourism. We will look at the trends and their trajectory to make an assessment of how tourism will have to adjust to the new world of tourism in the next 50 years. Key in this discussion are some social changes, such as demographic changes in wealthy countries, petroleum dependency, the shift in production to Asia, the trajectory of the fiat currency system, and the increasing use of robotic technologies and artificial intelligence, among other things. We end a discussion with a discussion of how the travel and tourism industries will have to adjust to the new political, economic, and social realities of 2068. Limitations The chief limitation is that there are many salient variables to investigate in terms of coming to terms with critical changes of the past and the critical ones that will be drivers to the future. Conclusions There will be many changes in the next fifty years that we can expect such as increasing stress on the pension systems in developed countries, negative population growths in the developed countries, the increasingly critical roles of robots and artificial intelligence in service industries and resource/energy depletion. The major geopolitical reorientation of the world towards Asia is also a key variable to consider, as well as whether the long-term trend towards economic liberalization and globalization of the world economy will continue.

Winter Olympic Games

The opening Spotlight focuses on Slovenia’s emerging ski industry, and Eastern Europe is one of the few parts of the world where the ski industry is growing. Countries like Bulgaria, Russia and Poland, have joined Slovenia in taking advantage of the increased interest in winter sports following the 2014 Winter Olympic Games held in Sochi. China, too, is rapidly expanding its ski industry (see the Case Study in Chapter 1), with plans to open up 250 new ski centers in Heilongjiang province alone in the next decade. Ski resorts are certainly popping up in some unlikely places. In 2014, the Masikryong Ski Resort in North Korea opened up, to the delight of young dictator Kim Jong Un. The winter wonderland is just one of Mr. Kim’s tourism projects, as he has instructed state companies to boost numbers of foreign tourists from 200,000 a year to 1 million by 2016 (The Economist, 2014). The 1,400-hectare Masikryong resort sits at an altitude of 768m, and is said to have cost the regime $35 million. The resort says it wants to attract 5,000 people daily, which might be a challenge, given that barely a few thousand North Koreans know how to ski. In North America, the industry remains in a phase of maturity, characterized by increased consolidation and diversification. But looking back on the last few decades, there have been some significant changes in the industry in that part of the world. Table 12.1 puts a spotlight on the U.S. winter sport tourism environment in the years 1994 and 2014, showing that while overall skier/rider visits have not changed in 20 years, the composition of those on the slopes has. The number of downhill skiers on the slopes has dropped, while that of snowboarders has more than doubled. More females are participating in both activities, and participants tend to be older than they were 20 years ago. Perhaps of concern is a substantial drop in the number of lessons being taken today compared to 20 years ago, implying there might be fewer beginners taking to the slopes. Certainly, in the U.K. there are concerns that the poor performance of the schools market will have a negative impact on the number of new entrants to the sport.

Every region of Indonesia has a great beauty, but the people of Indonesia have not been able to utilize, manage and preserve properly. Sport Tourism is one of the strategies that is quite effective in improving the tourism industry in Indonesia. Therefore, the need for cooperation between the society, local government and the Ministry of Tourism to be able to develop and provide excellent tourist destinations. One of the policy breakthroughs that can be done is to combine tourism and sports culture. In addition to additional income, it is expected that the people and the government of Indonesia are able to manage well, preserve the natural surroundings, able to cultivate the community and promote sports.
