O presente trabalho objetivou contribuir com os estudos da Cartografia do Turismo tendo como componente de investigação o município de Limeira, localizado no Estado de São Paulo. A escolha da área de estudo levou em consideração que o município de Limeira representa o processo de ocupação das cidades médias paulistas, a partir da expansão econômica e urbana que historicamente a constituíram, em função dos ciclos econômicos que ocorreram no Brasil. Para tanto, foi realizada uma discussão sobre o uso turístico do patrimônio material, a partir da visão crítica dos geógrafos, explicitando casos no Brasil e no mundo, e investigando o potencial de valorização do patrimônio material em Limeira. Para a elaboração dos mapas temáticos foi feita uma revisão da metodologia da Cartografia do Turismo, considerando-se que os mapas são elaborados tendo como público alvo os turistas e, portanto, devem cumprir com as normas de legibilidade, onde o uso adequado da escala, símbolos e legenda devem ser garantidos, a fim de comunicar as informações de maneira rápida e precisa. O patrimônio cultural material de Limeira tem sido inserido nas políticas públicas recentemente através do Plano Diretor Territorial-Ambiental de 2009, quando foram listados e protegidos os imóveis de interesse histórico para o município. A metodologia utilizada consistiu em classificar estes imóveis nas seguintes modalidades: rural, educacional, religioso, e cultural, por meio de cartas temáticas elaboradas no programa de SIG ArgGis 9.3. Assim, os mapas elaborados no presente estudo podem contribuir como instrumentos a serem utilizados para a valorização do patrimônio histórico local, por meio de programas de incentivo ao turismo, bem como à educação patrimonial. / The major aim of the present work was to contribute with the studies of Cartography of Tourism, by selecting the city of Limeira, located at São Paulo State, as the object of investigation. The choice of the area for this study took into consideration that Limeira City represents the process of occupation of the medium cities of São Paulo from the economical and urban expansion, which occurred historically during the economic cycles that took place in Brazil. For this, it was done a complete review concerning the touristic use of the material heritage from the geographic critical point of view, exemplifying cases in Brazil, as well as over the world, by investigating the potential value of the material heritage of Limeira City. To elaborate the thematic maps, it was carried out a review in the methodology of the Cartography of Tourism, considering that the maps are created to help tourists. In this context, the maps should accomplish the rules of legibility, by providing an accurate use of scale, symbols and legend, which should communicate precisely and quickly the information. The cultural material heritage of Limeira City has been inserted recently in the public policies by the Master Territorial and Environmental Plan of 2009, when the historical buildings from this city were listed and protected. Therefore, in the present study these buildings were classified in the following categories: rural, educational, religious and cultural, by means of thematic charts elaborated using GIS software ArcGis 9.3. In conclusion, the elaborated maps may contribute to give the appropriate value to the local historic heritage, by inducing programs to improve the cultural tourism and heritage education.

It was sought to understand the several variables in order to assess the role of the music style named as serestas, which is performed in the serenades and solaratas every weekend as a way to attract tourists and locals. In order to achieve this goal, 105 questionnaires were administered to tourists and locals at different age groups. Such questionnaires revealed that, regardless of age, most people are attracted to the village because of the quietness, hospitality and climate of the place, although the seresta music style also plays an important role while attracting tourists and locals. In addition, the current paper introduced the official regionalization of the Rio de Janeiro State tourism, promoted by the Tourism Ministry in 2005, describing its main touristic regions (Metropolitan area, Costa Verde, Serra Verde Imperial, Agulhas Negras, Costa do Sol and Vale do Café) from the physical, demographical and localization characteristics, deepening the studies when an analysis of the Vale do Café touristic region, in the Vale do Paraíba Fluminense was carried out, an area where the coffee production prevailed during the XIX century as the birthplace of such cultural manifestation and legacy for the locals cultural identity, becoming the greatest symbol of the Conversatória village / Esta dissertação de mestrado tem como objetivo geral realizar um estudo na área urbana do distrito de Conservatória, localizado no município de Valença, estado do Rio de Janeiro, para analisar o turismo cultural que ocorre no local. Buscou-se entender diversas variáveis a fim de se avaliar o papel do estilo de música denominado seresta, que é apresentado nas serenatas e solaratas todos os finais de semana para atrair turistas e pessoas que moram na vila. Para alcançar esse objetivo, 105 questionários foram aplicados para turistas e moradores da região, com diferentes faixas etárias. Esses questionários revelaram que, independentemente da faixa etária, a maioria das pessoas são atraídas para a vila devido ao sossego, à hospitalidade e ao clima do local, embora o estilo musical da seresta também tenha um papel importante em atrair turistas e residentes. Além disso, o presente trabalho apresentou a regionalização oficial do turismo do estado do Rio de Janeiro, promovida pelo Ministério do Turismo em 2005, descrevendo suas principais regiões turísticas (Metropolitana, Costa Verde, Serra Verde Imperial, Agulhas Negras, Costa do Sol e Vale do Café), do ponto de vista das características físicas, populacionais, localizacionais e aprofundando os estudos quando foi realizada uma análise da região turística Vale do Café, no Vale do Paraíba Fluminense, onde prevaleceu a produção cafeeira durante o século XIX, como nascedouro daquela manifestação cultural e que legou uma identidade cultural aos residentes, tornando-se o símbolo maior da vila de Conservatória

Thailand has been extremely successful in promoting itself as a cultural country, with tourism being the country's primary source of income. However, cultural tourism for Thai people is considered to be a niche market, and little attention has been paid to the topic, compared to mass tourism. Moreover, Thai visitors have little motivation to visit actual historical sites and read the story displayed as part of exhibitions. This research aims to create, detail and evaluate a framework for inclusive digital storytelling to increase diversity and motivation for cultural tourism in Thailand. To broaden and increase the potential tourism market, this PhD research applies inclusive design principles as 'understanding and designing for diversity' by identifying potential Thai customers into five diverse groups (youth, older adults, disabled people, non-cultural tourists, and cultural tourists), and presents reports regarding the barriers and drivers for achieving this. To increase the motivation of Thai tourists, this PhD research adopts digital storytelling as 'the guideline for creating storytelling' to increase motivation among the five diverse groups, and illustrates how this was done in the second study. However, an issue arises if Thai people (particularly older adults and disabled people) cannot access or understand how to use this type of digital technology. These problems can in turn create opportunities for applying inclusive designs to digital technology in an effort to understand users' behavioural needs; this is presented in the third study. Finally, the fourth study evaluates the framework detailed from the previous three studies in order to answer the primary research question: "How could inclusive design and digital storytelling principles be applied to facilitate cultural tourism in Thailand?" This PhD research can suggest and establish links between three key areas and devise and detail a new framework to increase diversity and motivation for cultural tourism for Thai visitors in Thailand which is original and interdisciplinary.

This thesis examines four regional community cultural festivals in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia. It reveals the complex interplay of a sense of place and community, a destination’s identity and representation, host guest relationships and the underlying nature and role of celebration expressed in each festival. It examines the regional context in which the Jacaranda Festival in Grafton, the Beef Week celebrations in Casino, the New Year’s Eve celebrations in Byron Bay and the Mardi Grass Law reform rally in Nimbin are conducted. An extensive literature review provides a global perspective on theories, issues and trends in the sectors reflected in the case study festivals. The phenomenological approach to the case study methodology is explained before each festival is closely scrutinized, addressing the study’s aim.The thesis aims at a better understanding of the elements of resilience fostered by festivals when communities take intentional action. This resilience dimension emerged as a major outcome of the initial investigation of the nature and role of festivals in regional communities.The thesis argues that festivals allow people to reflect and determine a sense of community and place, represent their image and identity and contribute to cultural tourism. Community festivals involve the local population in a shared experience to their mutual benefit by providing both social functions and symbolic meanings. This study contends that community-based festivals celebrate the community’s social identity, its historical continuity and its cultural resilience. They are socially constructed and negotiated phenomena and can be staged in everyday places that also become tourist places. Festivals provide a forum for creativity, custom, heritage and cultural practices for both resident and guest.Investigating community cultural festivals from multiple perspectives allows for greater understanding of the nuances of the relationships between stakeholders. By identifying the patterns, structures and meanings of the contexts that festivals represent we are better informed of the distinctive values, interests and aspirations held by residents when they host festivals. Perspectives on community festivals and resilience were canvassed from diverse perspectives as demonstrated by the following typical responses:Nourishing resilience through Festivals and CommunitiesThere are many intangible reasons why a community chooses to host a festival such as socio-cultural, economic, political and environmental and each reason is not mutually exclusive (Backman et al, 1995).The Northern Rivers region stands apart from the rest of rural Australia as living as if the future matters. This is a very powerful attractor in these times of urban decay and environmental despair (Dunstan, 1994:2).Sense of place, can be described as, the common ground where interpretation and community development meets in a concern to create or enhance a sense of place, to establish what is significant and valued in the environment or heritage of a particular community, and to provide action for its wider appreciation and conservation (Binks, 1989:191 cited Trotter, 1998).Democratic communities take responsibility for their future. It is undeniable that cohesive community events based on ideals create a sense of community. The excitement and joy that people feel when they work together for their community and future means that they will attempt to recreate that experience. It becomes their preferred way (Emery, 1995:70).…the notion of community is always something of a myth. A community implies a coherent entity with a clear identity and a commonality of purpose. The reality is that communities, more often than not, are made up of an agglomeration of factions and interest groups often locked in competitive relationships (Smit, 1995 cited in Joppe, 1996:475).Community, the custodians of the content of Australian tourism, must be enabled to participate in tourism by forming its content. Only if Australians are involved in tourism will it survive, (Wood, 1993:7).Through direct contact and interaction with each festival, the qualitative exploratory study reveals how in formal and informal ways participants at the four case study sites demonstrate the diverse and fragmented nature of festivals. Although none of these festivals is identical, some consistent patterns do emerge to demonstrate that comparisons can be developed. These patterns have their own advantages and disadvantages and it is evident that success or failure is not linked to a particular model for such festivals. Each community has an ongoing challenge of determining how their festival can best meet its needs presently and into the future. Each is trying to keep pace with the changes that are taking place within their communities, within the region and from external forces. This is where the study also generates new knowledge: tracking the changes occurring in community festivals in contemporary regional Australia.Through a systematic analysis of data the study significantly contributes to our understanding of the character of community festivals. Through surveys, interviews, media analysis, photographic images and critical observation, it clearly observes that social, economic and environmental issues currently presented in the literature require greater deconstruction and critical engagement. Rich and quilted description of the festivals informs this research providing grounded scholarly investigation. This approach leads to a greater understanding of significant social and cultural agendas in regional communities. Festivals add value to communities. They creatively produce and embed culture. They can be viewed as celebrations of resilience.Through a systematic analysis of data the study significantly contributes to our understanding of the character of community festivals.

They can be viewed as celebrations of resilience.At the core of the investigation is an analysis of how the process of nourishing resilience by making inclusive celebrations, unleashes relationships between many stakeholders. Each participant contributes to the program, traditions, cultural practices, impact and reach of events with differing voices and emphases.In principle, festivals and their host communities offer individual members a framework for attending to general aspects of life. This study reaffirms that community festivals particularly hold a significant position in three areas of the human condition. They celebrate a sense of place through organising inclusive activities in specific safe environments. They provide a vehicle for communities to host visitors and share such activities as representations of communally agreed values, interests and aspirations. Finally, they are the outward manifestation of the identity of the community and provide a distinctive identifier of place and people.

Rapa Nui (Easter Island) has for centuries been known as an isolated island of archaeological mysteries; yet after a rapid modernisation this is today an international tourist destination, a World Heritage Site and a glocalised community. This anthropological study based on long-term fieldwork among young Rapa Nui on the island and away, describes how it can be to grow up in and to belong to such a place. Place is seen as a continually constructed social space and is influenced by Miriam Kahn??s use of Henri Lefebvre??s concept thirdspace. Rapa Nui, as a place, people and community, is here understood as continuously formed by global and local influences. Thus, although historical, global and national influences can seem overwhelming in such a small tourist destination with a turbulent colonial history, this study also sees the opinions and practices of the inhabitants as important agents. This thesis shows how young Rapa Nui are both influenced by and influencing what Rapa Nui is and becomes. Above all, their guiding principle seems to be a continuing strong attachment to their land ??also called Te Pito o te Henua (??The Navel of the World??).

The following is a qualitative exploration of place identity, wilderness and cultural tourism interpreter guides, and sustainable tourism development in Canada’s Yukon Territory. Four research sub-questions are used to glean insights and advance this study: 1) how are Yukon place identities characterized in relation to remoteness?; 2) how is Yukon tourism positioned in relation to these place identities of remoteness?; 3) how is remoteness reflected in the place identities of wilderness and cultural tourism interpreter guides?; and 4) how do the place identities of wilderness and cultural interpreter guides influence the way they design and deliver their tourism activities? Recognizing the importance of “sense of place” as a tourism development tool, cultural geography was used to analyse guide place identity in relation to place-making and place-marketing processes. The study involved textual analysis of resident and tourist oriented documents, participant observation of guides and their tourism activities, and an analysis of place identity narratives identified in interviews with wilderness and cultural tourism guides. Three collective place identity narratives were used as a framework to examine place relationships in a tourism context: 1) Masculinist Narratives, 2) Narratives of the New Sublime, and 3) Narratives of Loss. In this study, place identity is explored in terms of the way it is expressed through, and influenced by, notions of “remoteness.” Remoteness is conceptualized as a social, cultural, historical and geographical construct that holds meaningful – if differently experienced and expressed – place identity values for residents and tourists alike. Remoteness is defined by the Yukon’s vast wilderness, its distance [real and perceived] from southern Canada and “civilization,” and its unique cultural makeup and history, especially with regard to lingering notions of an untamed frontier and its First Nations residents. Findings discuss infrastructure as a pivotal paradox; one that hinges on the “remote-accessible” nature of the Yukon’s tourism development question. Relationships between guide place identity, tourism experience authenticity and the nature of interpretation, type of tourism operation and tourism experience are identified and considered in relation to special interest tourism. Finally, implications for tourism and destination management and the goals of sustainable tourism development are discussed. / Tourism

Cultural tourism provides opportunities for ethnic minorities to showcase their cultures, customs and heritage. At the same time, it causes a series of tensions and issues of authenticity and commodification have been the subjects of lively debate among tourism researchers. However, little research has been done to date concerning the roles of stakeholders who authenticate cultural resources. This thesis develops a conceptual framework that is employed to enhance understanding of the authenticity of cultural tourism when ethnic Li communities in Hainan Island, China, experience tourism development. Folk villages are used as a significant point of access for investigating the tensions which emerge in authenticating cultural resources. Four key stakeholders are identified: (1) governments; (2) tourism businesses; (3) visitors; and, (4) ethnic communities. Five pairs of yardsticks were developed based upon Swain's (1989) work to examine the issue of authentification. These constructs are: non-commercialization versus commodification, cultural evolution versus museumification, economic development versus cultural preservation, ethnic autonomy versus state regulation, and mass tourism development versus sustainable cultural tourism. The findings suggest that authenticity is relative rather than absolute and, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Therefore, it is necessary to shift from a previous focus on the nature and identification of authenticity to the more tractable question of authentification. The various stakeholders exhibit different positions with respect to the various paradoxes and the tensions that exist between their poles. For example, governments pay more attention on the control of ethnic autonomy whilst tourism businesses prioritize the economic development. Tourists exhibit blurred perceptions of authenticity whilst ethnic minority supports the maintenance of their of culture but gives priority to jobs and remuneration. This thesis demonstrates that it is more useful to evaluate who authenticates and the interests that such claims serve, rather than to adhere to some absolute standard of 'authentic' ethnicity. It makes recommendations for tourism planners, such as ethnic participation in the decision-making process, the development of strategic alliance among tourism stakeholders, and the taking of steps to promote the maintenance of Li culture. It also suggests opportunities for applying this conceptual framework of cultural tourism to other different situations, both within Hainan and elsewhere.
