Positive Character

O turismo em Unidades de Conservação (UCs) cresceu substancialmente na última década e reveste-se de um caráter positivo, quando planejado e administrado em bases sustentáveis; por outro lado, os impactos podem ser potencializados na ausência de ações de monitoramento e organização da atividade. Em tal quadro, emerge a necessidade de entender como o turismo se desenvolve em UCs para avaliar a situação atual da visitação turística, e propor medidas preventivas e corretivas para ajustar o curso de desenvolvimento turístico local. Desta forma, este artigo analisou o desenvolvimento turístico na UC de Uso Sustentável APA do Delta do Parnaíba (PI), com base nos aspectos ambientais e turísticos dos Ambientes Interno (AI) e Externo (AE). Como metodologia, empreendeu-se a aplicação de entrevistas estruturadas com os visitantes, gestora local da UC, prestadores de serviços turísticos e comunidade local, e posteriormente tais dados foram analisados com base na Análise SWOT. Com isso, os resultados revelaram que o quadro atual de desenvolvimento turístico na referida UC é caracterizado pelo aumento crescente de visitantes e ausência de ações de monitoramento e controle dos impactos do turismo. Em vista disso, sugere-se a adoção de um programa de administração dos impactos da visitação na UC, pelo órgão gestor, capacitação dos prestadores de serviços turísticos para potencializar o turismo em bases sustentáveis e a sensibilização das comunidades locais sobre os problemas que afetam o turismo na localidade.

The tourism sector in Albania has been upheld as a government development priority and a promising window for overall local economic development. Although these ambitions have started to shape the governance of the sector, the inherent challenges on a governance level have meant that most of the tourism development on a local level is being led by local initiatives and the private sector service providers. These initiatives are often fueled by entrepreneurial drive and are sustained by a network of local community actors, giving rise to applied models of sustainable tourism development, as shown by numerous agritourist enterprises emerging across Albania. Through a case study approach, this chapter will focus on the role entrepreneurial eco-systems rooted in local communities can play in the development of sustainable tourism models in Albania.

Abstract Background There is a gradient relationship between socio-economic status and health. We investigated the views and perceptions of health promotion service providers regarding factors that affect lack of engagement in public health initiatives by residents in socio-economically disadvantaged (SED) communities. Methods We conducted semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of key providers (n = 15) of community-based health promotion services to elicit their views about engagement-related factors and their experiences of the provision, delivery and impact of health promotion in SED areas. Interviews were analysed using thematic analysis. Results Failure to (i) recognise within SED communities, socio-cultural norms of health-related behaviour and (ii) communicate to local residents an understanding of complex lifestyle influences appeared to affect adversely service engagement and contribute to the development of negative attitudes towards health promotion. Engagement is more likely when services are delivered within familiar settings, peer support is available, initiatives are organized within existing groups, external incentives are offered and there are options regarding times and locations. Collaborative working between providers and communities facilitates efficient, context-sensitive service delivery. Conclusions Knowledge of a local community and its socio-environmental context alongside a collaborative, facilitative and tailored approach to delivery are required to ensure successful engagement of SED communities in health promotion.

This paper consists of an empirical study investigating to what extent can ecolodges serve as community-based tourism development strategy. It is conducted in a cultural and natural tourism destination north of Morocco-Chefchaouen or shortly known as Chaouen-. A considerable amount of literature was reviewed in order to form the theoretical framework of this study consisting mainly of community-based tourism (CBT), local participation, tourism benefits, and tourism development. Fifteen (15) semi-structured interviews were conducted mainly with ecolodges’ owner/managers, civil society activists who contribute to the tourism sector, and government officials who directly represent public agencies in charge of tourism in the region. Data collection method were chosen to be semi-structured interviews for the sake of maximum data quality and more vivid interaction with interviewees (Harris & Brown, 2010). The collected data set was analysed using quantitative content analysis, following the categories of themes and concepts extracted from the theoretical framework. The main findings of the paper show that indeed ecolodges generate a considerable benefit to local community, especially, on the socioeconomic level, but on the other hand, there is a lack environmental awareness and an unclear stakeholders structure.

Negative Impacts

Sharing economy has become a rather troublesome concept and business model in the process of tourism development during the recent years. Despite its undoubtful economic benefits for service providers and consumers, there are numerous negative impacts which can be related to the sharing economy, ultimately leading to unsustainable tourism development on destination level. In general, sharing economy can be attributed numerous benefits, but in terms of tourism, it recently became closely related to the issue of overtourism, thus becoming one of the initiators of negative attitude of the local community towards the future tourism development. Therefore, the concept of sharing economy has been in the focus of numerous researchers during the last several years, with increasing number of papers being published since 2016. This research is focused on analyzing the evolution and importance of sharing economy within the tourism study. The focus is given to the bibliographic analysis of journal articles within the “sharing economy in tourism” search. Additionally, based on qualitative content analysis the aim is to identify current state of the research in this field and to determine research gap with respect to the issue of overtourism and to identify future research potentials.
