Historical notions of Noble Savagery have been contemporarily translated and massified in popular culture so that traits that “Indigenous People” are believed to possess, are conflated with those of the Noble Savage of lore and taken for granted as truth. The Noble Savage is the embodiment of the tourist’s notion of the authentic; the more traits Indigenous people are assumed to share with the western notion of the Noble Savage the more authentic they are deemed, and the more attractive they are to the visiting tourist. In Saraguro tourism and incanismo mutually validate and reinforce each other. Tourists valorize their own preconceived notions of indigenous culture, and in turn validate incanismo through participation in Incaic cultural performances. Neo-Incans are objectifying and consuming their own dreams though the tourist gaze, and the resultant cultural commodification and the (re)appropriation of a nobler past has led to cultural revalorization of an indigenous elite. / viii, 213 leaves; 29 cm

Objetiva-se traçar um panorama do turismo estrangeiro independente e econômico, denominado backpacker, a nível mundial e nacionalmente, apresentando sua representatividade e taxa de crescimento no período de 1996 a 2000. Comparam-se as origens e os destinos tanto no turismo convencional quanto no turismo backpacker, compreendendo que há diferenças significativas entre os mesmos. Abordam-se os aspectos que possibilitam determinar o perfil desse segmento de turistas estrangeiros, como faixa etária, sexo, renda, nível educacional e origem, assim como as características das viagens que os backpackers estrangeiros empreendem pelo Brasil como duração, roteiro, meios de locomoção e principais atividades desenvolvidas. Provoca-se discussão sobre o tratamento dispensado pelos órgãos governamentais que estabelecem as diretrizes do turismo nacional a esse segmento de turistas estrangeiros, haja vista que o Brasil oferece condições apropriadas para atrair os backpackers e sua visita propiciaria aspectos econômicos, sociais e ambientais de nosso interesse: incentivaria a abertura de pequenos empreendimentos de capital nacional, as receitas geradas por esse público seriam de valor considerável, o intercâmbio sociocultural entre turista-comunidade seria ampliado, dar-se-ia maior valor aos artefatos produzidos localmente e a maior conscientização dos turistas às questões ambientais seria benéfica / The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of independent and budget-minded tourists from abroad, denominated backpackers, travelling around the world and in Brazil, presenting its level of representation and growth in the period from 1996 to 2000. A comparison about the origin and destination of the conventional and backpacking tourist is demonstrated, highlighting the significant differences between both. Profile of this foreign tourist market segment, comprising age, gender, income, education level and nationality, is demonstrated, as well as the characteristics of backpackers\' travelling around Brazil, referent their stay, itinerary, transportation and major activities. A discussion concerning government institutions directives for determining national targets in the tourism area as for this foreign tourist segment is demonstrated, whereby Brazil offers appropriate conditions to attract backpackers. Their visits is shown to favour economic, social and environmental issues, encouraging the opening of small businesses, income generation stimulated by these tourists, enhancing a large social and cultural interchange between the tourist and the community, adding value to products made in Brazil and raising the consciousness of tourists about environmental matters which are beneficial to everyone

Denna Kandidatuppsats kommer ta upp det ständigt växande fenomenet massturism och hur den påverkar turister både när de är ute och reser och i deras vardagliga liv. För att få en generell bild av hur fenomenet påverkar turister har vi gjort en enkätundersökning som besvarats av ett hundratal personer som fått beskriva om och hur de upplevt massturism. För att få en djupare förståelse av hur massturism påverkar en destination specifikt har intervjuer utförts med tio personer som alla besökt Venedig, som är staden som vi har utfört en fallstudie om. I inledningen presenters och förklaras massturism. I metod och teori förklaras de metoder som kommer att användas samt en förklaring varför vi tror att de passar vår undersökning. Tidigare forskning tar upp forskning som redan gjorts om massturism generellt och massturismen i Venedig. I ramverk för fortsatt forskning förklaras de begrepp som sedan analyserats i resultat. I resultatet kommer empirin läggas fram och analyseras utifrån vår enkätundersökning och intervjuer. Diskussionskapitlet diskuterar våra resultat för att slutligen leda fram till vår slutsats. Våra frågeställningar har varit: På vilka sätt anser turister generellt att massturismen har påverkat deras besök på en destination? Och Hur upplever besökare i Venedig dess massturism och på vilket sätt har fenomenet påverkat deras besök? / This bachelor thesis will present the ever-growing phenomenon, mass tourism and what impact it has on tourists when they are traveling and in their everyday life. To get a general picture of how the phenomenon affects tourists, we have done a survey answered by a hundred people who got to describe whether and how they experienced mass tourism. To get a better understanding of how mass tourism affects a specific destination, we have made interviews with ten people who all visited Venice, which is the city that we have made a case study about. In the introductory part we will present mass tourism and explain the phenomenon. In the methodology part, we explain the methods we will use and why we think they fit our thesis. Previous research includes research already done about mass tourism in general and mass tourism in Venice. In the framework for further research, we will explain the concepts which we then are going to analyse our results from. In the result, we present and analyse the empirical findings that we have collected through our survey and interviews. The discussion part will discuss our results and ultimately lead to our conclusion. Our research questions are: In what way do tourists generally think that mass tourism have affected their visits to a destination? And How do visitors in Venice see its mass tourism and in what way does the phenomenon affect their visit?

Cruise travel has become very popular worldwide. The North American cruise market is the world's biggest. Asian countries are among the fastest-growing outbound market for cruise travel. The Taiwanese cruise market has grown substantially. However, few research studies have examined Taiwanese travelers' motivation to experience a cruise vacation, and their satisfaction with the experience. Primary data was collected from a convenience sample of Taiwanese tourists who had been on North American cruise tours. Survey respondents were first time cruisers, over 40 years old, married, and had a Bachelor's degree, or higher. Push and pull motivational factors were identified. Respondents were influenced by recommendations from media and people. Respondents were satisfied with tangibles, cleanliness, food choices and selection, and responsiveness of staff. An overwhelming majority of cruisers would re-visit and recommend this trip. Implications for researchers and practitioners are suggested.

Vivimos en una realidad en la que para hacer turismo debemos movernos a algún lugar. Algunas personas dejan de hacer turismo por temor a equivocarse en el destino elegido, por salud o por limitaciones físicas. Así también, ahora que atravesamos por una pandemia que ha obligado a los gobiernos a cerrar fronteras, vuelos y destinos turísticos, entonces, ¿Cómo podemos hacer turismo frente a todas estas limitaciones? Debido a esta problemática, presentamos una plataforma que utiliza tecnología de realidad virtual para conectar guías de turismo profesional con personas que deseen disfrutar la experiencia de hacer un tipo de turismo diferente, el virtual. Nuestra propuesta de negocio ofrece acceso a un guía de turismo profesional quien transmitirá el recorrido turístico hacia una plataforma a la que personas podrán conectarse mediante lentes de realidad virtual que atraparán sus sentidos de audición y visión logrando la sensación de estar presencialmente en el destino turístico. Este tipo de turismo no existe como modelo de negocio en el mercado local siendo una idea totalmente innovadora. Centramos nuestra propuesta de valor en un modelo de tipo Peer-To-Peer entre guías profesionales y turistas alcanzando una experiencia muy cercana a la realidad gracias al uso de tecnología. Gracias a un sondeo realizado en las principales calles de Lima hemos encontrado que un 84% de los encuestados estarían dispuestos a consumir un servicio de turismo virtual. Este modelo de negocio resulta rentable gracias a los márgenes de ganancias obtenidos del volumen de turistas virtuales que se podrán conectar a una sesión atendida por un único guía profesional. Financieramente, se alcanza un VAN de S/ 770.568,37 y un TIR de 40.46%, con recuperación al segundo año de operación, evidenciando un alto potencial en su implementación. / We live in a reality in which to do tourism we must move somewhere. However, some people stop touring for fear of making a mistake in their chosen destination, due to health or physical limitations. Furthermore, now that we are going through a pandemic that has forced governments to close borders, flights and tourist destinations, then how can we do tourism and cope with all these limitations? Due to this problem, we present a platform that uses virtual reality technology in order to connect professional tourist guides with people who want to enjoy the experience of doing a different type of tourism, the virtual. Our business proposal offers access to a professional tour guide who will transmit the tourist route to a platform in order to people can connect through virtual reality glasses. This will engage their senses of hearing and vision, achieving the feeling of being in person at the tourist destination. This type of tourism does not exist as a business model in the local market, being a completely innovative idea. We focus our value proposition on a Peer-To-Peer type model between professional guides and tourists, achieving an experience very close to reality thanks to the use of technology. Thanks to a survey carried out in the main streets of Lima, we have found that 84% of those surveyed would be willing to consume a virtual tourism service. This business model is economical thanks to the profit margins obtained from the volume of virtual tourists who will be able to connect to a session attended by a single professional guide. Financially, a VAN of S / 770,568.37 and TIR of 40.46% are reached, with recovery in the second operation year. This evidence of high potential in its implementation. / Trabajo de investigación
