Conceptual Study

PurposeThis is a conceptual study to analyze the potential of enset-based culinary tourism for sustainable rural development and to obtain a place as a niche tourism market in South-Western Ethiopia. It assumed enset agro-biodiversity as the effect of ages of environment, genetic resources and cultural interaction as a distinctive regional image.Design/methodology/approachThis an exploratory paper based on an in-depth interview, field observation and content analysis of documents. By means of in-depth interviews, the researchers managed to gather extended information from community elders and experts in culture and tourism offices selected based on a snowball technique. Besides, it has gone through systematic reviews of about 180 empirical and conceptual articles, books and conference papers with a critical reading of the content, identification of categories, examination and interpretation of ideas, to supplement the in-depth-interview. The thematic analysis applied to identify various ideas, concepts, categories and relationships to produce themes presented under discussion and results.FindingsThe study found enset-based culinary tourism not only improve the local economy and regional image, but also it would enhance conservation of traditional farming system, biodiversity, food heritages, genetic varieties and livestock. It also identified 18 enset food varieties compatible with the principle of balanced diets. Finally, the study advised rural development planners to consider enset-based culinary tourism so that it would revive lost food traditions and consumption patterns, enhance the regional heritage and destination branding.Research limitations/implicationsThe research is a conceptual study that lacked empirical investigation concerning the livelihood impact, gender implication and actual tourist data. Therefore, future research needs to focus on the aforementioned limitations.Practical implicationsThis study addressed SW Ethiopia, which is the primary center of Ensete ventricosum, and argued that enset-based culinary tourism would help to build regional image and obtain a place as a niche rural tourism destination. It would also contribute to the conservation of food heritages, environmentally sustainable farming system, soil conservation, crop diversities and livestock population in addition to producing tourist experience. Moreover, it would encourage the revival of traditional consumption, reinvent lost food traditions and identities.Social implicationsIt was hoped that rural tourism would eventually improve the livelihood and enhance the capability of resilience. It is also expected to maintain the traditional social-economic structure based on the enset farm while fostering cultural development.Originality/valueTo the knowledge of the researchers there is no previous work on enset based-culinary tourism in Ethiopia and probably there is no published culinary tourism paper elsewhere.

Tourism Potential

Rural tourism is considered as one of the essential elements making significant contributions to rural development in many developing countries. A well planned and adequately operated rural tourism sector provides job opportunities for local people, increases living standards, alleviates poverty, prevents migration, and ultimately makes it possible for rural people to enjoy living at their original places of residencies. All of these benefits encourage governments and all other relevant stakeholders to put more emphasis on rural tourism activities when planning and to implement rural development programs. The primary aim of this study was to examine the opportunities of sustainable rural tourism in the Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey. It based on an extensive review of related literature, governmental reports, and experiences and observations of the researchers in the region. The study revealed that the Eastern Black Sea region has a remarkable rural tourism potential and it will make significant contributions to rural development in Turkey. Particularly highlands, thermal hotels, rural activities, farms, and agribusiness are increasingly attracting many domestic and international tourists in every passing year. However, environmental dimension of rural tourism is under risk because of unplanned housing and road constructions which put more pressure on agricultural lands and rural landscape. For this reason, it is important to consider economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainability when preparing and implementing rural tourism programs for the region.

The paper analyses tourism potential and rural tourism of the Municipality of Andrijevica. Existing tourism and recreation supply is not sufficiently developed and affirmed nor organized and connected both within the scope of the Municipality and with the neighbouring municipalities. One of the prerequisites for tourism development might be good transport infrastructure. However, in the territory of the Municipality of Andrijevica is not adequate. On the territory of the Municipality of Andrijevica, natural and anthropogenic values are distinguished group deployment and characteristics of complexity and complementarily. Natural values are particularly come to the fore, if we know that modern tourism trends emphasize the value of untouched nature. Marketing affirmation of the Municipality of Andrijevica is one of the most important processes that represent a momentum for its tourism development. In this sense, all kinds of tourism propaganda must be enhanced, which affirmed the value of tourism (for example the eco-pasture Štavna), which would lead to a more comprehensive tourism development that would provide a profitable economic performance. Particularly it is very important to encourage and support rapid development of economic activities in rural areas and development of human resources. Furthermore, the economic progress and independence rural settlements of the Municipality of Andrijevica must be improved in accordance with the ecological principles and sustainable development in rural development. In finding a new identity and direction of development of the rural economy, the Municipality of Andrijevica must accept new trends in Europe and the countries that have been through a period of transition, in terms of adapting and complementing so far the role of villages and rural areas within diversified supply and the introduction of tourism as one the essential activities. Such guidelines already exist in spatial and urban plans of the Municipality of Andrijevica, starting as of 2010

Pelotas é conhecida como a capital nacional do doce. Nesse contexto, a indústria de conservas de pêssego é uma atividade secular nessa localidade, a qual se acha inserida dentro de uma região que concentra aproximadamente 62% da produção nacional. Trata-se de gênero industrial cujas raízes são eminentemente rurais. Tais fábricas surgiram pelo empreendedorismo de colonos oriundos, sobretudo, da França e Alemanha. Todavia, entre os anos 1950 e 1970 são implantadas diversas medidas governamentais que simultaneamente inviabilizam as pequenas fábricas rurais e favorecem o capital agroindustrial via concessão de grandes incentivos fiscais e creditícios. Não obstante, no interior das comunidades rurais as marcas dos tempos áureos das fábricas e dos moinhos persistem, apesar da ação do tempo. Para muitos, nada mais seriam do que registros imagéticos de tempos pretéritos, enquanto para outros seriam apenas a constatação de um ciclo que tende a sucumbir no curso dos processos econômicos. Mais recentemente surgiram museus etnográficos da cultura francesa, alemã e italiana que evocam o legado dos imigrantes e de seus descendentes, os quais surgiram em virtude de projetos de extensão conduzidos por docentes da UFPel. Este estudo se baseia em entrevistas em profundidade realizadas com diversos atores do território.Palavras-chaves: Pêssego; desenvolvimento rural; turismo rural; ruralidade.The bitter taste of forgetfulness: rural origins of the peach industry in Pelotas, BrazilABSTRACT Pelotas is known as the national capital of candy. In this context, the peach canning industry is a secular activity in this locality, which is located within a region that concentrates approximately 62% of national production. It is an industrial genre whose roots are eminently rural. Such factories arose due to the entrepreneurship of settlers, mainly from France and Germany. However, between 1950 and 1970 several governmental measures are implemented that simultaneously make small rural factories unfeasible and favor agro-industrial capital through the granting of large fiscal and credit incentives. Nevertheless, within rural communities, the golden age marks of factories and mills persist despite the action of time. For many, they would be nothing more than imagetic records of past times, while for others they would be merely the realization of a cycle that tends to succumb in the course of economic processes. More recently, ethnographic museums of French, German and Italian culture have emerged that evoke the legacy of immigrants and their descendants, which emerged as a result of extension projects led by UFPel teachers. This study is based on in-depth interviews with various local actors.Keywords: Peach; rural development; rural tourism; rurality.
