The thesis is an examination of Aboriginal cultural tourism based on interviews with national and international tourists. The research found that the opportunity for tourists to share personal intimacy with Aboriginal people often outweighed the attraction to the cultural aspects of the tours and that this can contribute to the discourse of reconciliation.

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2000. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: European cities offer a variety of attractions, activities and facilities to tourists. One component of tourism in this urban context is cultural tourism which is a high potential growth sector within the tourism industry. Cultural tourists travel to cities mainly to see the most important and well known cultural attractions, to take part in cultural festivities, to view the cultural treasures of the cities and to attend performances and exhibitions. Other functions and activities such as retail functions and types also occur in the vicinity of the important cultural attractions of a city. Amongst these activities and functions are shops, cafés and restaurants. In an area of a city where cultural attractions and retail types coexist, the possibility exits that a spatial relationship between cultural tourism and retailing may occur in the sense that the tourists who visit these attractions may support the retail establishments in the vicinity of cultural attractions. The city of Leuven in Belgium is a typical West European city with a variety of cultural tourist attractions as well as functions which can be supportive of cultural tourism. These functions include shops, cafés and restaurants. An investigation was conducted to establish whether a spatial relationship exists between cultural tourism and retail activities in the part of Leuven known as the Ring. The geographical information systems TransCad, Arc/Info en ArcView were used for the processing and analysis of retail and cultural tourism data gathered in the Ring of Leuven. Three analytical procedures were performed separately for shops, cafés and restaurants. These procedures comprised (a) the determination of the numbers and types of supportive functions around the most important cultural-historical tourist attractions, (b) the determination of the numbers and types of supportive functions along the routes to cultural-historical sites from tourist points of origin, and (c) the determination of the numbers and types of supportive functions along guided-walk routes in the city. The analysis results show that a (spatial) relationship does exist between retail and cultural tourism in the Ring of Leuven. On average 44% of the retail functions (shops, cafés and restaurants) are located within a distance of up to saam from the six most important cultural building attractions in Leuven (procedure 1). Retail functions on guided-walk routes totalled 48% with cafés and restaurants being the most abundant (procedure 3). Only 19% of retail functions are located between points of origin and cultural building attractions (procedure 2). A more detailed study should be conducted to establish the exact nature of the spatial relationship which exists between retail and cultural tourism in the Ring of Leuven. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Europese stede bied 'n reeks attraksies, aktiwiteite en fasiliteite vir toeriste. Een komponent van die breër term toerisme in hierdie stedelike konteks is kulturele toerisme wat 'n baie sterk groeisektor binne die toerismemark is. Kulturele toeriste besoek stede hoofsaaklik met die doelom die belangrikste en bekendste kulturele attraksies te besigtig, om aan kulturele feeste deel te neem, die kunsskatte van stede te betrag en om teateropvoerings en tentoonstellings by te woon. In die nabyheid van die belangrikste kulturele attraksies van 'n stad kom ook ander funksies en aktiwiteite soos kleinhandelsfunksies en -tipes voor. Hieronder ressorteer onder andere winkels, cafés en restaurante. In die gedeelte van 'n stad waar kulturele attraksies en kleinhandelstipes naby mekaar voorkom, kan die moontlikheid bestaan van 'n ruimtelike verwantskap tussen kulturele toerisme en kleinhandel, in dié sin dat toeriste wat die attraksies besoek, moontlik ook die kleinhandelstipes wat in die nabyheid van die kulturele attraksies voorkom, salondersteun. Die stad Leuven in België is 'n tipiese voorbeeld van 'n Wes-Europese stad met 'n verskeidenheid kulturele toeriste-attraksies asook funksies wat kulturele toerisme ondersteun. Hierdie ondersteunende funksies sluit winkels, cafés en restaurante in. In die deel van Leuven wat as die Ring bekend staan, is ondersoek ingestel na die voorkoms, al dan nie, van 'n ruimtelike verwantskap tussen kulturele toerisme en kleinhandel. Die geografiese inligtingstelsels TransCad, Arc/Info en ArcView is ingespan vir die verwerking en analise van data oor kleinhandel en kulturele toerisme in die Ring van Leuven. Drie ontledingsprosedures is afsonderlk uitgevoer vir winkels, cafés en restaurante. Hierdie prosedures behels (a) die bepaling van die aantal en tipes ondersteunende funksies rondom die belangrikste kultuurhistoriese toeristeattraksies; (b) die bepaling van die aantal en tipe ondersteunende funksies langs die roetes tussen die toeriste-oorsprongpunte en die belangrikste kultuurhistoriese toeriste-attraksies; en (c) die bepaling van die aantal en tipe ondersteunende funksies langs begeleide stadswandelroetes. Die analiseresultate wys dat 'n verwantskap tussen kleinhandel en kulturele toerisme, ruimtelik-gesproke, wel in die Ring van Leuven bestaan. Só is gemiddeld 44% van die kleinhandelsfunksies (winkels, cafés en restaurante) tot op In afstand van SOOmvanaf die ses belangrikste kulturele gebou-attraksies in Leuven geleë (prosedure 1). Ook kom 48% van die kleinhandelsfunksies langs die roetes van begeleide stadswandelinge voor. Hier is dit egter die cafés en restaurante wat die grootste proporsies uitmaak (prosedure 3). 'n Gemiddelde proporsie van slegs 19% van die kleinhandelsfunksies kom tussen oorsprongpunte en die belangrikste kulturele gebou-attraksies voor. 'n Meer omvattende studie moet onderneem word om vas te stel watter tipe ruimtelike verwantskap tussen kleinhandel en kulturele toerisme binne Leuven se Ring voorkom.

This is a descriptive research, using qualitative methods of data collection and analysis, configuring, still, as a case study. Data were gathered from literature, documents, semi-structured interviews and mainly by participant observation methods. The results show a great diversity of cultural resources in the region, both material and immaterial, which however are disarticulated, and need to be worked in order to be included in the tourism productive chain. The main opportunity for innovation regards the return of the Landmark to the region, an invaluable monument, with the construction of a memorial. Taking in account the relevance of the monument and the growth of the region, we conclude that the return of the Landmark to its place of origin, in conjunction with other cultural resources, could attract a flow of cultural tourists. This fact could be, as the theory suggests, characterized as market or niche innovation, as the region is dominated by the sun and sea and wind sports tourism / Tendo como refer?ncia os fundamentos dos sistemas regionais de inova??o (RIS) e nas diretrizes pol?ticas definidas no programa de regionaliza??o implantado pelo governo federal, este estudo se concentrou na an?lise da denominada "Regi?o do Marco", litoral norte do Polo Costa das Dunas-RN, a fim de indicar de que forma os recursos hist?rico-culturais podem fundamentar inova??o no turismo na regi?o, aqui representada pelos munic?pios de Pedra Grande e S?o Miguel do Gostoso. A pesquisa tem car?ter descritivo, utilizando metodologia qualitativa no levantamento e an?lise de informa??es, configurando-se, ainda, como um estudo de caso. Os dados foram levantados a partir de pesquisa bibliogr?fica, documental, entrevista semiestruturada e, principalmente, pelo m?todo de observa??o participante. Os resultados mostram uma grande diversidade de recursos culturais na regi?o, tanto materiais como imateriais, que contudo se encontram desarticulados, e precisam ser trabalhados para que possam ser inclu?dos na cadeia produtiva do turismo. A principal oportunidade de inova??o diz respeito ? volta do Marco ? regi?o, monumento de valor inestim?vel, com a constru??o de um memorial. Pela relev?ncia do monumento e pela evidencia??o da regi?o, conclu?mos que a volta do Marco ao seu local de origem, em articula??o com os demais recursos culturais, poder? atrair um fluxo de turistas culturais, caracterizando-se assim, como sugere a teoria, como inova??o de mercado ou nicho, em um regi?o dominada pelo turismo de sol e mar e de esportes ? vela

On a post-modern world, the touristic movement more and more searched for the 'different', the 'other', thus, stimulating a motivation for the 'tourism based on the cultural legacy' (BARRETTO, 2000). Along with this, the Ministry of Tourism has created in 2006, a typology of tourism, based on the motivations for the travelling accomplishment, or in the market segmentation. This project, which intends to 'organize the tourism for planning, management and market ends' separates the tourism in five priority segments, among them is the cultural segment. Thus, the current essay tries to accomplish some reflections on the cultural tourism in the city of Rio de Janeiro, city which has a main role in the Brazilian history of political and cultural life. In this regard, first a survey of the several concepts which imbricate themselves with the cultural tourism has been made: culture, cultural heritage, memory, authenticity, identities and consumption. On a second stage, by means of a field research, the touristic supply was delineated, and it was analyzed how the cultural tourism is currently explored by the main local telephonic operator companies. Also, a focus on a group of graduates in this field was created, in order to debate the theme in a critical and dialectical manner. This material analysis allowed a gathering of the cultural tourism habits in the 'Cidade Maravilhosa' ('Wonderful City'), creating reflections on the efficient development of the touristic activity in the city of Rio de Janeiro. / A Organização Mundial do Turismo - OMT (2003) afirma que está surgindo uma nova etapa de turismo. No mundo pós-moderno, o movimento turístico tem procurado cada vez mais pelo 'diferente', pelo 'outro', surgindo, assim, uma motivação para o 'turismo com base no legado cultural' (BARRETTO, 2000). Aliando-se ao exposto, o Ministério do Turismo criou, em 2006, uma tipologia do turismo, baseada nas motivações para a realização das viagens, ou na segmentação do mercado. O projeto, que objetiva 'organizar o turismo para fins de planejamento, gestão e mercado' divide o turismo em cinco segmentos prioritários, sendo um deles o 'cultural'. Desta forma, a presente dissertação se propõe a realizar algumas reflexões acerca do turismo cultural no município do Rio de Janeiro - cidade que possui um papel central na história da vida política e cultural brasileira. Realizou-se primeiramente um levantamento dos diversos conceitos que se imbricam com o turismo cultural - cultura, patrimônio cultural, memória, autenticidade, identidades e consumo - para, de maneira ampla, discutir sobre a temática. Através de uma pesquisa de campo, buscou-se delinear a oferta turística, averiguando como o turismo cultural é atualmente trabalhado pelas principais operadoras turísticas da área, no intento de discutir o tema de forma crítica e dialética. A análise desse material possibilitou-nos uma visão crítica das práticas acerca do turismo cultural na 'Cidade Maravilhosa', nos permitindo refletir de maneira mais contundente sobre o desenvolvimento eficaz da atividade turística na cidade do Rio de Janeiro.

The main aim of the thesis is to propose a project that would increase attendance and awareness of the selected region Klatovy. To create such a tourism product that would not only enrich the existing tourist attractions in the region, but also attracted the respondents to this area. This product will focus on the personality of a major czech Jaroslav Kvapil, who in the selected area born and raised. The area is rich in cultural attractions, but this potential is not used as much as they could. From this perspective, efforts to expand the range of cultural tourism in the area, as there are many cultural attractions.

Inicialmente, é apresentado um debate sobre as Mediações Culturais e suas implicações nos processos de construção de sentido. Entendido enquanto universos simbólicos que orientam as interpretações e projeções práticas dos sujeitos sobre o mundo que o cerca, o conceito de Mediações Culturais e a reflexão acerca das características da experiência turística vêm a compor os princípios teóricos que permitem pensar: em que medida as representações sociais de atrativo turístico influenciam nos sentidos atribuídos ao local, tanto por aqueles que produzem os produtos turísticos quanto por aqueles que os consomem? Diante dessa problemática, o método da Análise de Discurso é utilizado para desvelar os pilares simbólicos sobre os quais se ergue o conceito de Atrativo Turístico. Nesse processo analítico, a concepção de atratividade do espaço urbano é revelada. Uma concepção que remete a sentidos fluídos, diante dos quais a palavra torna-se insuficiência representativa, solicitando uma narrativa interpretativa alicerçada em outras formas expressivas. Finalizando, assim, com o aporte da antropologia visual e a constituição de uma narrativa imagética sobre a atratividade de Buenos Aires. / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-05-19T19:00:25Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Priscila Gayer.pdf: 10007126 bytes, checksum: ff08c7989d06c74a4044d8f6752dfbae (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-05-19T19:00:25Z (GMT).

Throughout the theory s arrangements presented, the cultural mediations are understood as symbolic boundaries which shape people s conceptions and actions. In addition to this perspective, the discussion of tourist experience s characteristics is articulated to develop a theoretical ground in order to raise the main research problem. Thus, the investigation proposal set aims at elucidating the influence s dimension of the Social Representation of Tourist Attraction in the meanings produced by the tourist and by the ones who produce the tourist interpretation about the place to be lived in the tourism context. Regarding these issues, the symbolic background that feeds the conception of tourist attraction was brought to light. The Discourse Analysis was fundamental to achieve this result and, beyond it, the method used permitted another concept to be found out: the urban space attractivity. This last term express the fluid meanings existents in everyday life, the ones which words can not fully reach. Due to the word s insuffiency to symbolize this sort of significance, the image is applied as a proper resource to expose the attractivity of Buenos Aires and, for that matter, the Visual Anthropology is worthy.
