‘Whore-friendly people’: heritage tourism,the media and the place of sex work in Butte,Montana

In 1997, the International Sex Workers Foundation for Arts, Culture and Education (ISWFACE) began the process of purchasing a historic parlor house brothel (the Dumas) in Butte, Montana to create a cultural center and museum. This business transaction drew national and international attention while Butte citizens questioned the presence of ISWFACE in their community. Using media accounts of the Dumas, I examine the framing of sex work and its place in the heritage tourism landscape of the American West. The case of the Dumas captures the complicated relationship between history, a community, tourism and the media on local as well as national/international levels. Sex work is part of the historical landscape of the American West, but is fading from view as communities actively shape their public image, erasing this element from their landscapes.     

加入WTO前我国工业发展战略的演变

加入WTO前,我国工业发展战略的演变,基本上是围绕着对外贸易战略、利用外资战略和产业结构战略的转变面展开的。我国的对外贸易战略具有由改革前的进口替代战略向出口导向战略转变的趋势,总体上仍处于有保护的出口促进战略的阶段;外资战略由限制外资战略向鼓励外资战略转变;而我国产业结构战略的转变,则是与工业化过程的演进和经济体制改革的推进相伴随的,大体上经历了1979-1988年扭转片面重工业化倾向、大力发展以轻工业为主的加工制造业的阶段,1989-1991年调整工业内部结构、控制一般加工工业发展、加强基础工业和基础设施的阶段,1992-2001年加快技术密集型产业发展、推动工业结构由高加工度化向技术集约化转变的阶段。这三种战略的转变不是孤立进行的,而是形成了一个相互影响、相互促进的有机整体,构成了我国扩大开放进程中工业发展战略演变的一条主线。     

论旅游影响态度尺度在我国的适用性

进入20世纪90年代以来,旅游影响以及居民对旅游发展认知态度的研究开始逐渐聚焦于研究尺度与研究方法上,旅游影响态度尺度就是在这种背景下被开发出的一种用以测量目的地居民对旅游发展态度的工具。尽管在国外它已经引起学术界的广泛关注,但是国内还鲜有学者对此进行研究。因此,本文以实证研究的方式,在中国广西的阳朔地区进行实地调查,并采用因子分析的方法对数据进行了分析,以验证西方学者所提出的旅游影响态度尺度在我国的适用性。     

基于SCP框架的我国旅游企业集团化研究

旅游市场竞争日趋激烈。本文根据新产业组织理论,应用SCP框架分析我国旅游产业组织结构特征,发现,旅游企业规模偏小、竞争手段单一是我国旅游产业市场绩效差的直接原因。本文提出,建立现代企业制度,优化企业治理结构,消除企业进出的人为壁垒,组建大型旅游企业集团是增强我国旅游产业国际竞争力和提高行业整体效益的有效方法。     

旅游介入文化研究

The Future of the Murray River: Amenity Re‐Considered?

Most efforts to restore environmental flows to the Murray River assume that it means resolving a dilemma between two competing needs: those of the environment and those of agriculturalists. This paper provides evidence to show amenity is also important, it is not being adequately considered, and that this, in turn, is impeding efforts to restore environmental flows. The paper contains a literature review of a number of studies which, when combined, show that the importance of amenity (tourism, recreation and lifestyle) is of similar scale (has significant economic value and community support) to productive values. Three case studies show that community concerns about loss of amenity values have impeded restoration programs despite evidence that existing practices are causing environmental damage. The debate about water use in the Murray is clearly not simply one between environment and production but also one involving lifestyles. The challenge is to better understand the nature and scale of amenity and its relationship to other natural resource management issues.     

Entry points for local tourism in developing countries: evidence from Yogyakarta, Indonesia

International tourism is an increasingly important source of income and employment for many developing countries with over 690 million annual international arrivals (World Tourism Organisation data). This paper considers the impact of tourism in the city of Yogyakarta, in Java, Indonesia, and asks whether one subsector of international tourism, namely backpacker tourism, provides a way for local people to enter this globalised industry. The paper examines the emergence of small‐scale, bottom‐ up tourism and its transformatory effect upon a previously poor kampung (urban village). It is suggested that the nature of small‐scale, locally owned tourism businesses, particularly their minimal capital requirements, may be seen as a form of ‘pro‐poor tourism’ and may provide a useful component of local economic development strategies for poor communities. Further, smallscale tourism development may also be seen as an effective local response to some of the effects of globalisation, specifically increasing flows of international tourists to developing countries.     

我国佛教旅游文化开发的偏颇及其矫正

佛教是人类化的最初源泉之一。我国的佛教旅游资源风格独具,佛教旅游历史悠久。旅游使佛教走向世俗化,使中外游客了解到佛教化的真谛。但是旅游也使佛教化在普及中鱼龙混杂、真伪参半。应以入世度生的精神,整合佛教化资源,为旅游发展服务。
