Since the latter half of the nineteenth century, industrialization and modernization have strongly shaped the development of the French department Ariège. Over the last roughly 150 years, Ariège has seen its population decline from a quarter million to 150,00. Its traditional agrarian economy has been remade for competition on global markets, and the department has relied on tourism to bring in revenue where other traditional industries have failed to do so. In this thesis I identify the European Union and French policies that continue to guide Ariège's development through subsidies and regulation. I explain the origins and effects of modernization on rural areas such as Ariège, and the ways in which market pressures and new technologies have reshaped the landscape, and advance an argument for why Ariège's story is relevant across rural Europe and communities globally that exist at the margins.

El turismo basado en la comunidad viene creciendo de manera sostenida y permite que el turista aprenda las costumbres y tradiciones de poblaciones rurales. Asimismo, se da la oportunidad a las poblaciones rurales de ser los protagonistas de organizar las actividades turísticas para lograr un beneficio propio. Sin embargo, este tema no está siendo correctamente abordado en la literatura ya que existe escasa información sobre los perjuicios de esta actividad. Por ende, el objetivo de este estudio es analizar los beneficios y perjuicios que perciben las poblaciones que habitan en lugares donde se practica el turismo basado en la comunidad. Este estudio se desarrolló usando la metodología de revisión literaria bajo el enfoque integrador, el cual permitió sintetizar la información recolectada con el fin de hallar vacíos sobre el tema. Es así que se descubre que el turismo basado en la comunidad genera más beneficios que perjuicios, entonces se recomienda realizar futuros estudios cualitativos a profundidad de las dificultades que enfrentan las poblaciones en dicho escenario. Asimismo, se recomienda una intervención de los actores pertinentes del Estado para capacitar a los pobladores y que se desarrolle la actividad turística de una manera más sostenible. / Community-based tourism has been growing steadily and allows tourists to learn about the customs and traditions of rural populations. It also gives rural populations the opportunity to be the protagonists in organizing tourism activities for their own benefit. However, this issue is not being properly addressed in the literature, as there is little information on the detrimental effects of this activity. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze the benefits and detriments perceived by the populations living in places where community-based tourism is practiced. This study was developed using the literature review methodology under the integrative approach, which allowed synthesizing the information collected in order to find gaps on the subject. It is thus discovered that community-based tourism generates more benefits than detriments, so it is recommended that future in-depth qualitative studies be conducted on the difficulties faced by the populations in this scenario. It is also recommended that the relevant state actors intervene to train local people and develop tourism activities in a more sustainable manner. / Trabajo de investigación

The theretical framework of this study relies on authors specialized on urbanism, tourism and the other disciplines of the social sciences. This work deals with the contemporany realy in a rural area under the perspective of the periurban phenomenon, which occurs in the RMC. For better understanting of this plenomenon, a particular location in the city of Valinhos and Campinas was selected. The area concerned, considered sui generis, is divided into lots, which were formed in the 1960's during what is considered to be the first implantation of agrarian reform in the State of S?o Paulo, called "Bairro Reforma Agr?ria". The approach favored the periurban phenomenon and the possibilities of implementing rural tourism in a way that it benefits the development and preservation of the available rural areas. It evaluates whether there's a promising prospect of implantation of tourism as an important alternative economic tool for the rural producer and whether it promotes the conservation of cultural and evironmental patrimony. The majority of the producers showed lack of interest in the development of any tourist activity. It was found that the public policies for the transformation of the rural areas and its surroundings are, at the time, the greatest concerns of farmers, requiring of them new forms of social-territorial organization. / Na pesquisa analisaram-se as interfer?ncias ocorridas no entorno das ?reas lim?trofes entre os munic?pios da Regi?o Metropolitana de Campinas - RMC, no estado de S?o Paulo, que se transformaram e que ainda est?o em processo de grandes transforma??es.

Depuis les années 1960, la Tunisie, a développé une politique de tourisme balnéaire demasse basée principalement sur les atouts climatiques du pays et la proximité avec l’Europe. Afin dedévelopper cette politique, l’Etat a joué un rôle central en créant les institutions nécessaires et enencourageant les investissements privés et le pays a ainsi trouvé sa place en tant que destinationtouristique de référence dans le bassin méditerranéen. Cependant, avec la multiplication des offres parles pays concurrents (Maroc, Croatie, Turquie, Egypte, Grèce…), le produit balnéaire tunisiens’essouffle. Il est donc important de diversifier cette offre afin de garder et de développer la clientèle.Dans cette optique, l’Etat avait créé dans les années 1980 le pôle touristique de Tabarka-Ain Drahamavec pour objectif de dynamiser le Nord-Ouest et notamment la Kroumirie, notre zone d’étude.Aujourd’hui, ce massif de moyenne montagne reste toutefois toujours isolé et marginalisé, malgrél’existence à proximité du pôle touristique balnéaire à Tabarka, qui n’a pas pu s’imposer réellementsur la carte touristique du pays à l’instar de la côte orientale (Djerba, Sousse, Hammamet). Le tourismerural n’en demeure pas moins une vraie piste d’action pour un développement durable de la région, vules potentialités locales, à travers notamment la richesse du patrimoine culturel, naturel et historique. / Tunisian balneal tourism, as it was planned, has loosen its motivity since few years and itshows its limitation since tourists are more and more unsatisfied with the environmental quality. Inaddition, Tunisian tourism can restrict to this unique product (balneal tourism) due to the highconcurrence (Turkey, Italy, Spain, Greece…). Moreover, the unstable international situation (attacks,wars…) let a part of customers to define orientations that they see it more secure; like Italy or Greece.Thus, Tunisia starts to diversify its touristic product in order to guarantee an important position for theecotourism. The appearance of this new touristic orientation allows evaluating the natural, socioculturaland popular resources of some regions. It guarantees employment and incomes to the localpopulation, money to the government without threatening natural resources. A well planned andcontrolled ecotourism allow to a region and all its local actors to develop. The ecotourism guaranteethe protection of the environment and the green and archeological spaces and at some time let theplace for tourism. With regard to the diversity of its natural landscape its remarkable fauna and flora,the Kroumirie region – located in Northwestern Tunisia – start to attract the “new tourist” who likenature. Since many years, this region has become the first interest of national and internationalassociations and organizations in order to make it an incontrovertible eco-touristic pole. In fact, theregion dispose of a multitude of natural potential as that mountains, seas, reserves, its natural park…We will introduce the region focusing its eco-touristic potentials.

Tarptautinio turizmo administravimo baigiamojo darbo tema yra aktuali, nes pastaraisiais metais kaimo turizmas tapo viena labiausiai plėtojamų veiklų kaime. Kadangi kaimo turizmo rinkoje yra susiduriama su didelę konkurenciją, norint sėkmingai plėtoti sodybos veiklą, tampa aktualu ieškoti naujų, patobulintų vadybos principų. Darbe pabrėžiama, kad sėkminga kaimo turizmo vadyba priklauso nuo atskleistų vadybos principų suderinamumo ir poveikio kryptingumo, kur svarbiausias veiksnys yra savininko autentiškumas, meistriškumas ir sugebėjimai viską sujungti į vieną visumą. Norint pasiekti sėkmės kaimo turizmo versle, reikėtų vadovautis pagrindiniu principu, kuris teigia, kad į kiekvieną žmogų reikia žiūrėti kaip į tikslą savyje, o ne tik kaip priemonę savo tikslams pasiekti. Darbo tyrimo objektas yra kaimo turizmo sėkmingi vadybos principai Darbo tyrimo tikslas - nustatyti taikomų sėkmingos vadybos principų svarbą sodybos veikloje, bei pateikti pasiūlymus vadybos tobulinimui. Darbe iškelta problema, kad egzistuoja sodybos šeimininkų patirties stoka kaimo turizmo versle, nepakanka informacijos, o tai sąlygoja netinkamų vadybos principų pasirinkimą. Magistro baigiamasis darbas susideda iš keturių pagrindinių dalių. Pirmoji – kaimo turizmo sėkmingos vadybos principams nustatyti, teoriniu pagrindu, atlikta mokslinės literatūros analizė. Antroji – metodologinė dalis, kur aprašoma kaip vyks tyrimas. Trečioji – tiriamoji dalis, kur anketinės apklausos metodu ištirta aukščiausiai...

As the rural tourism market faces a strong competition it becomes important to find new, improved management principles in order to successfully develop the homestead activities. The final paper stresses that the successful rural tourism management depends on the coherence of disclosed management principles and impact orientation where the most important factor is the authenticity, excellence of the owner and his ability to merge everything. The basic principle - any person should be seen as a goal itself, but not as means to reach another person’s aims - must be followed if one wants to achieve success in the rural tourism business. Successful rural tourism management principles are described as the object of the research. The target of the research is to estimate successful management principles importance for homestead activities as well as to submit proposals for the management improvement. The problem of the farmstead owners’ lack of experience in the rural tourism business is discussed in the final work homestead. Insufficient information leads to the improper management principles choice. Master's final research paper consists of four main parts. To define successful rural tourism management principles, scientific theoretic literature analysis is provided in the first part. The second part... [to full text]

The All-purpose Technical Assistance Coordination (from Portuguese, Coordenadoria de Assistência Técnica Integral CATI), an entity in which the act constituting the extension agents of this study, is the organ of the State Department of Agriculture and Food Supply responsible for actions of public extension with rural producers in the State of São Paulo. The absence of an institutional project focused on the rural tourism constituted motivation to gather aspects of care of the extension of CATI demand producers in this area as well as it realizes that there is a concern with a tour that is developed in a more sustainable way. In this sense, the goal of this dissertation was to survey elements on the perception of extension agents to justify the construction of an institutional program covering training activities and planning that will encourage them to expand their awareness and critical review of rural tourism phenomenon as a development vector. The research constituted of a recess, within the set of 645 municipalities of São Paulo, which considered those with rural tourism as prominent activity from two different criteria, resulting in a sample of 87 municipalities. To collect the data we used a questionnaire that sought, in the opinion of extension working with producers in the sampled counties, its profile and it characterizes its performance under rural tourism as well as to know their perception of the importance of the work of this extension segment and on sustainability elements related to tourism. From the collected data it was noted that, in general, the technical team acknowledges the role of the extension service in the context of rural tourism, as well as under the point of view of the development of economic activity, as the role of articulation and mediation that can be assumed by extension. However, this research pointed to some limitations that need to be overcome, namely: motivational issues, partly caused by the lack of incentives from the institution to standardize and to enhance the standard of care demands of tourism; the lack of specific technical knowledge on tourism; the need to increase their knowledge beyond environmental approach in the context of sustainable tourism development, with the expectation aid in understanding the strengths inherent to the phenomenon of tourism conflicts. Accordingly, an investment in differentiated capabilities would be essential in building a CATI statewide program, guided to the qualifying holding its extension agents in the context of rural tourism process. / A extensão rural contemporânea se depara com um meio rural transformado num espaço de novas ruralidades, entre elas a inserção do turismo, as quais podem se tornar subsídio para a reorientação de seus técnicos para novas práticas extensionistas. A Coordenadoria de Assistência Técnica Integral (CATI), entidade na qual atuam os extensionistas que constituem o foco deste estudo, constitui o órgão da Secretaria Estadual de Agricultura e Abastecimento responsável por ações de extensão rural pública junto aos produtores rurais no Estado de São Paulo. A inexistência de um projeto institucional voltado ao turismo rural constituiu motivação para conhecer aspectos do atendimento dos extensionistas da CATI à demanda dos produtores nesta área, bem como perceber se existe a preocupação com um turismo que seja desenvolvido de maneira mais sustentável. Neste sentido, o objetivo da dissertação foi o de levantar elementos sobre a percepção dos extensionistas cuja análise justifique a construção de um programa institucional contemplando ações de capacitação e de planejamento, o qual irá lhes favorecer a ampliação de sua percepção e opinião crítica sobre o fenômeno do turismo rural enquanto vetor de desenvolvimento. O universo da pesquisa constituiu num recorte, dentro do conjunto dos 645 municípios do Estado de São Paulo, que considerou aqueles que apresentaram o turismo rural como atividade de destaque a partir de dois critérios distintos, resultando numa amostra de 87 municípios. Para a coleta dos dados utilizou-se um questionário que buscou, na opinião dos extensionistas que atuam junto aos produtores nos municípios amostrados, caracterizar o seu perfil e a sua atuação no âmbito do turismo rural, bem como conhecer sua percepção sobre a importância do trabalho do extensionista neste segmento e sobre elementos de sustentabilidade relacionada ao turismo. A partir dos dados coletados percebeu-se que, de maneira geral, os técnicos reconhecem o papel do serviço de extensão no contexto do turismo rural, tanto sob o ponto de vista do desenvolvimento desta atividade econômica, quanto pelo papel de articulação e mediação que pode ser assumido pelo extensionista. Porém a pesquisa apontou para algumas limitações que necessitam ser superadas, destacando-se: questões motivacionais, em parte ocasionadas pela falta de incentivos da instituição para uniformizar e qualificar o padrão de atendimento às demandas de turismo; falta de conhecimentos técnicos específicos sobre turismo; necessidade de ampliação de conhecimentos para além de enfoque ambiental, no contexto do desenvolvimento sustentável do turismo, tendo como expectativa o auxílio na compreensão dos aspectos positivos e também dos conflitos inerentes ao fenômeno do turismo. Deste modo, um investimento em capacitações diferenciadas seria fundamental no processo de construção de um programa da CATI de abrangência estadual, orientado à participação qualificada de seus extensionistas no contexto do turismo rural.

I describe a rural tourism in Soběslav and Veselí region in this diploma work.
