'n GIS ondersoek na die kultuurtoerisme-potenisaal van Mechelen, België en die rol van kulturele toerisme in stedelike hernuwingMcKechnie, Jennifer Joan 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2000. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Tourism is a global growth industry. Large cities are prominent tourist
destinations and are therefore the focus of tourism studies. Because cultural
tourism can act as a lever for the urban economy, cities are increasingly
investigating historical heritage as a resource in developing cultural tourism.
Furthermore, many opportunities for development exist as these tourism
products are characterised by adaptability, flexibility and a wide-ranging
nature.
Development of the historical heritage of tourist attractions is especially noted
in Europe. The rich historical heritage and unique cultural activities of these
cities can be used to attract visitors.
This study utilises the geographical information system (GIS) programmes
TransCAD, ArcView and ARC/INFO to investigate the cultural tourism
potential of Mechelen in Belgium. GIS is particulary well suited for spatial
analyses in tourism studies.
It was assumed that two factors - location and function - will influence the
tourism potential of historical buildings. In investigating the morphological
location of buildings, the grouping of buildings around pre-selected marker
buildings in Mechelen was considered. Functional analyses considered the
current function of historical buildings and the attractiveness of the respective
functions to tourists.
Concurrent analyses of these two factors resulted in deductions regarding the
tourism potential of the individual historical buildings. Furthermore, areas with
high development potential were identified. The identification of such areas
contributes to effective development planning and sustainable development.
By targeting development visitors are attracted which supports optimal
utilisation of tourist resources by residents. Well planned, targeted
development thus increases the contribution that cultural tourism can make
towards the urban economy. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Toerisme is 'n wêreldwye groei-industrie. Omdat groot stede die belangrikste
toerisme-bestemmings is, geniet hulle baie aandag in toerisme-studies. Die
historiese erfenis van stede word toenemend as hulpbron vir die ontwikkeling
van kulturele toerisme ondersoek omdat dit as 'n hefboom vir die bevordering
van die stedelike ekonomie kan dien. Daarbenewens is daar talle
moontlikhede vir ontginning, omdat die kulturele toerisme-produk gekenmerk
word deur aanpasbaarheid, buigsaamheid en 'n wyd omvattende aard.
Die ontwikkeling van die historiese erfenis van toeriste-aantreklikhede word
veral in Europa waargeneem. Die meeste Europese stede is ryk aan
historiese erfenis en unieke kulturele aktiwiteite wat gebruik kan word om
besoekers te trek.
In dié studie word die geografiese inligtingstelsel (GIS) programme
TransCAD, ArcView en ARC/INFO ingespan om die kulturele toerismepotensiaal
van Mechelen, België, te ondersoek. GIS is besonder geskik vir
die doen van ruimtelike analises in toerismestudies.
Daar is van die uitgangspunt uitgegaan dat twee faktore die toerismepotensiaal
van historiese geboue beïnvloed, naamlik ligging en funksie. Wat
die morfologiese ligging betref, word gekyk na die groepering van historiese
geboue rondom sekere vooraf geselekteerde beeldbepalergeboue. In die
funksionaliteitsanalises word daar gelet op die huidige funksies van die
individuele historiese geboue en die aantreklikheid van die onderskeie
funksies vir toeriste.
Deur gelyktydig na dié twee faktore te kyk, is afleidings gemaak oor die
toerisme-potensiaal van die individuele historiese geboue. Gebiede met 'n
hoë potensiaal vir ontwikkeling is geïdentifiseer. Die identifisering van
gebiede wat meer gunstig vir toerisme-ontwikkeling is, dra by tot beter
,ontwikkelingsbeplanning en volhoubare ontwikkeling. Geteikende ontwikkeling
maak die stad meer aantreklik vir besoekers en dra daartoe by dat die inwoners van die stad optimaal voordeel kan trek uit die besoekende
toeriste. Goed beplande, geteikende ontwikkeling vergroot ook die bydrae wat
kulturele toerisme in die stimulering van die stad se ekonomie kan speel.

Die verklaring kultuurlandskappe : voor- en nadeleVan der Merwe, Anita 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA (History))--University of Stellenbosch, 2007. / A cultural landscape is a geographical area that includes the associations of cultural and natural
resources of historic events, actions, person or groups of people. A cultural landscape gives one a
sense of belonging. It explains relationships between man and land over time; it is part of a
national heritage and part of every person’s life. The value of cultural landscapes is vested in the
fact that they include a variety of diverse environments. The motive of selecting this subject for
search is the prominent disregard of existing culture in certain cultural landscapes and creation of
new artificial cultural landscapes with profit exclusively as its main goal. One of the aims of the
study is to look at the threats of cultural landscapes.
The concept cultural landscapes is extensively explained in context of its advantages and
disadvantages. Sustainable tourism development is closely connected to sustainable development
of heritage sites. Local government should therefore develop a cultural tourism policy in
collaboration with private stakeholders and local residents as a matter of priority. The focus is on
the balance between values of cultural heritage and potential economic opportunities for local
communities. The procedure of the declaration of World Heritages sites is also dealt with.
The purpose of the case studies is to use local examples in order to reflect the situation in the
Western Cape with respect to cultural landscapes. Two cases of cultural landscapes were
researched, namely the Karoo Heritage Landscape’s upgrading of the golf course in Oudtshoorn
with a proposed new housing development, and a proposed development and extension at the
Boschendal Farmers Estate in the Franschhoek district.
Guidelines and examples for managing the models for conservation of cultural landscapes are
given, which include natural and cultural resources as well as the concerns of the local
communities. The need for a global strategy is strongly emphasized.
UNESCO’S World Heritage List of Cultural Landscapes is attached as an appendix.

Metropolitan Cuisine Tourism: Exploring Food Tourists to the Creole Cuisine in New Orleans, LA USAJanuary 2010 (has links)
abstract: Cuisines are becoming increasingly significant in a tourist's experience and as such looking into different cuisines and their effects on the tourist's destination provides strong indicators of the outlook for the destination. Metropolitan areas within the United States have a history of being known for specific food items as well as types of cuisines. This study explores the Metropolitan area of New Orleans and the cuisine specific to this region: the Creole cuisine. A mixed methods approach was used to identify the Creole cuisine within the New Orleans area as both a regional cuisine and as a culturally significant cuisine, within the context of the United States of America. Once established, and through the help of the local New Orleans' Convention and Visitors Bureau, an online questionnaire was distributed to individuals that had shown an interest in visiting the New Orleans area. The questionnaire identified the characteristics of the Creole cuisine and the respondents' most recent trip to New Orleans. The Brief Sensation Seeking Scale, adjusted for cuisine tourism, provided a categorical separation of the respondents into three groupings: "Foodies", "Semi-foodies", and "Non-foodies". Two important findings emerge from this study, the cultural significant cuisine segmentation model and the foodie scale. These two findings allow for an in depth look at characteristics of regional cuisines and food tourists, while providing a way to predict food characteristics of both destination and individual. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.S.

Representing Bergslagen for tourism – a post-feminist approach : Androcentric representations of the industrial heritage in central SwedenFunk, Minéa January 2018 (has links)
Marketing material used in promotion of industrial heritage sites for tourism creates representations of said cultural heritage. In order to increase the touristic value of the historical industrial sites marketers can create or make a place attractive through careful selection of images and texts. It is believed that simplifying the image can make it comprehensible and thus more attractive to potential visitors. However, simplifying images of heritage can result in creation of stereotypical representations. This research aimed to analyse what representations of the industrial heritage of Bergslagen, in the middle of Sweden, could be found in marketing material of tourism destinations today. Post-feminist theory was applied as a tool for analysis of the content as a contextual and critical perspective in order to interpret what meanings these representations found were conveying. By understanding the data in relation to androcentric discourse and the context of Bergslagen as a patriarchal system representations of continued polarization of gender was found. By conducting a content analysis of three destinations, Långban, Engelsbergs bruk and Axmar Bruk, four dominating themes of their representations in visual and textual promotional material were found. The narratives in the re-imagination and reproduction of the sites and their industrial heritage were also discovered during the analysis. The findings thus indicated that the marketing perpetuated stereotypes of the inherent gender roles that have existed in the past but were accentuated even through the modern mediums. As tourism is a tool for rejuvenation of industrial heritage sites it is important to note that, the need for increasing the attractiveness by consciously or unconsciously deciding which narratives should be told, marketers act as facilitators of generic ideas and impositions. When trying to simplify something as complex as a heritage, meaning can become lost in translation. The representations can become distorted, which they have in Bergslagen, according to the findings of this research. Representations can thus inform us of what is being marginalized. The understanding and interpretations of the representations can therefore become a resource in the marketing the real and genuine heritage.

Heritage Conservation and Tourism in the Historic Center of Arequipa, PeruRivera Garcia, Andrea Delia, 1981- 06 1900 (has links)
xii, 124 p. : ill. (chiefly col.), col. maps / This thesis explores the complex relationship between heritage conservation and tourism in the Historic Center of Arequipa, a World Cultural Heritage Site in Peru. Although it has been recognized that tourism impacts the people and places where it occurs and, through this, it impacts the tourists' own experience, the challenge that tourism poses to efforts to conserve heritage resources is not always recognized. Even though heritage conservation efforts in Arequipa have been strengthened in the last ten years, tourism has been increasing steadily without appropriate planning, therefore challenging the desired balance between conservation and tourism in the historic center. The relationship between heritage conservation and tourism has been assessed, and tourism opportunities and threats for heritage conservation have been identified. Based on the existing Master Plan for the Historic Center of Arequipa guiding conservation efforts in the city, recommendations for conservation and tourism planning have been established. / Committee in charge: Robert Z.

The development and promotion of heritage tourism in RwandaGitera, Valence January 2008 (has links)
Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of
Technology: Tourism and Hospitality Management in the Faculty of
Business at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2008 / Taping into a growing global tourism market, the government of Rwanda has
been marketing and promoting tourism as being considered as one of the sectors
that will help the country achieve its economic targets through revenue gains and
job creation. However, Rwanda’s tourism product has understandably, been
aimed largely at gorilla tourism so as to raise much needed foreign currency.
While this has been proving positive as regards achieving industry targets,
dependence on an exclusive product could be detrimental to the industry in the
future.
This research that was carried out in Rwanda’s Museums focused on a
significant form of tourism in Africa, namely heritage tourism with specific
reference to its development and promotion in Rwanda. The results reveal that
heritage tourism, and domestic heritage tourism in particular, is experiencing
growth with genocide museums playing a large part in this growth. The findings
further suggest that the heritage management, especially marketing of heritage
tourism can be improved. The research provides several procedures for
improvement in management of heritage destination that include the assessment
of heritage resources, the role of tourism managers, and different marketing
strategies for heritage sites.
