Evaluating methodological issues in the tourism literature: UK outgoing tourism and trade links

Jackson, Karen, Zang, Wenyu 03 1900 (has links)
Yes / This paper evaluates the importance of trade in goods when modelling demand for tourism. It is argued that the limited literature testing causality between trade in goods and tourism does not consider the appropriate variables. This study utilises bilateral data for 16 UK tourist destinations in order to test Granger causality between trade in goods and tourism expenditure. UK imports, exports and total trade are tested separately, whilst controlling for real GDP and real bilateral exchange rates. The novelty of this paper is the variable specification, as well as testing the causal relationship for the case of UK outgoing tourists. Our findings suggest a causal relationship between the tourism expenditure of UK residents and trade in goods. These results support the inclusion of a trade in goods variable when estimating tourism demand, as well as adopting appropriate methodologies to account for this causal relationship. Furthermore, there is strong evidence that the trade-tourism link is important for both the UK and host countries.

Turismo de aventura e a deficiência visual

Holleben, Denise 18 September 2009 (has links)
A pesquisa tem como tema o Turismo de Aventura praticado pelo deficiente visual. A escolha foi feita em função de motivações pessoais e da relevância do assunto no âmbito do turismo, no momento em que se ampliam as possibilidades de reconhecimento da cidadania das pessoas portadoras de algum tipo de deficiência. O estudo teve como participantes portadores de deficiência visual congênita e adquirida. O referencial teórico pertinente ao Turismo de Aventura e a Deficiência Visual ainda é muito escasso, mas não foi fator que impedisse a realização da pesquisa, uma vez que o propósito foi produzir um trabalho acadêmico que abrisse mais uma janela no âmbito do turismo. Sob perspectiva do paradigma qualitativo, utilizou-se a metodologia descritiva do tipo estudo de caso. O quadro teórico engloba os seguintes tópicos: a) análise do objeto de estudo em questão; b) o turismo de aventura; c) a deficiência; d) estudo da deficiência visual, especificidades e características dos participantes; e) descrição das atividades de aventura como arvorismo, escalada, rapel e tirolesa; e, f) procedimentos técnicos que nortearam a realização das atividades. Os participantes do estudo foram 7 pessoas portadoras de cegueira congênita e adquirida na faixa etária entre 31 a 74 anos. A pesquisa de campo foi realizada no Alpen Park, na cidade de Canela/RS, local em que são oferecidos pela Empresa Atitude, Ecologia e Turismo atividades de Turismo de Aventura. O procedimento utilizado como os deficientes visuais nas atividades de aventura estudadas seguiu a mesma rotina utilizada com videntes. A coleta de informações englobou registros de dados cadastrais dos participantes, entrevistas semiestruturadas aplicada aos participantes, memoriais descritivos elaborados pelos participantes após a realização das atividades de aventura, memorial descritivo elaborado pela pesquisadora a partir das observações de campo, análise de vídeos e de acervo fotográfico construído a partir da experiência empírica com os DVs. As informações recolhidas são descritas e analisadas à luz do problema e dos sujeitos do estudo. As discussões e interpretação das informações se dão a partir de unidades de significados e categorias de análise. Os resultados apontam que o turismo de aventura é percebido pelos deficientes visuais como uma atividade que lhes proporciona satisfação e bem estar na superação do que poderia ser limitador aos portadores desta deficiência. O estudo indicou que não há necessidade de adaptações técnicas para que os DV pratiquem e desfrutem do turismo de aventura. O Turismo de Aventura é um segmento de mercado latente e pronto para ser explorado inclusive com deficientes visuais. / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-06-04T19:44:32Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Denise Holleben.pdf: 16920103 bytes, checksum: 0d6877c29c24e4fe42db54b72dd1c58e (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-06-04T19:44:33Z (GMT).

The choice was made based on personal motivations and the relevance of the issue within the tourism, when we are expand the possibilities of recognition of the citizenship of people with some type of disability. The study participants as people with visual disabilities congenital and acquired. The theoretical framework relevant to the Adventure Tourism and Visual Disabilities is still scarce, but they are not factors which prevent the achievement of research, since the purpose was producing a scholarly work that opens another window in the context of tourism. On a qualitative view of the paradigm, we used the methodology of the descriptive type of case study. The theoretical framework includes the following topics: a) analysis of the object of study in question; b) the adventure tourism; c) the disability; d) the disability visual study, specificities and characteristics of the participants; e) description of the activities like trees adventures, climbing, rappel and tyrol, and f) technical procedures that guided the implementation of activities. The participants were 7 people with congenital and acquired blindness in the age group between 31 to 74 years. The fieldwork was realized in Alpen Park, located in Canela/RS, where they are supplied by the Company Attitude, Ecology and Tourism Activities of Adventure Tourism. The procedure used for the visual disabilities in activities of adventure studied followed routine used with visionaries. Data collection included records of cadastral data of the participants, semi-applied to interview participants, descriptive memorial prepared by the participants after the completion of the activities of adventure, descriptive memorial developed by the researcher from the field observations, analysis of video and photographic collection constructed from the empirical experience with the DVS. The information collected is described and analyzed in light of the problem and subject of study. The discussion and interpretation of information is given as units of meaning and categories of analysis. The results indicate that the adventure tourism is perceived by the blind as an activity that provides them satisfaction and well being in overcoming what might be limiting this to people with these disabilities. The study indicated that there is no need for technical adaptations to the DVS practice and enjoy the adventure tourism. The Adventure Tourism is a latent market segment and ready to be exploited even with the blind.
