Indigenous tourism development

While much has been written in tourism literature about what is tourism as sustainable development, particularly in the context of planning, management and best practice, there has been little focus on methodologies designed to assess that sustainability. It is suggested that too often we are presented with a snapshot of a given situation at a particular point in time which does not reveal the processes at work over time; and a judgement about sustainability in the absence of the historical perspective and/or a longitudinal study must therefore be treated with caution. This paper examines the value of historical methodology for determining the sustainability of tourism development. It then applies this approach to an examination of a festival which has survived in China for about 800 years. The dynamics and interrelationships between political, sociocultural and economic forces, essential to an understanding of tourism in a holistic way, may thus be related to the sustainability of a tourism development.

Historical methodology and sustainability: An 800-year-old festival From China

The rapid growth of tourism in Asia in recent years has generated concern about the sociocultural, economic and environmental impacts on Asian societies and communities. Until recently, most commentary was from a Western orientation assuming tourism as Caucasian with impacts perceived through Western values. In some Asian destinations, such as Thailand, Malaysia and China, their Asian visitors greatly outnumber Caucasian visitors and domestic tourists greatly outnumber international visitors. In short, tourists are not homogenous yet many analyses are based on Western perceptions of Western tourists impacting upon Asian societies and purport to cover the entire canvass of tourism in Asia, when in fact they will provide only a partial and segmented assessment.

Rethinking and reconceptualizing social and cultural issues in Southeast and South Asian tourism development

The Information and Communications Technologies of the last three decades have revolutionized the way in which societies and economies interact on both a global and a domestic scale, with concomitant impacts on the ways in which business is conducted and people and communities interact. A series of studies undertaken by the World Bank from 1997 to the present suggest that those countries which do not take up to the fullest possible extent the technologies now available and enter what has been termed the 'Knowledge Economy' will be 'left behind' in the same way as the Third World which did not experience the industrial revolution. Two of the distinguishing characteristics of the Knowledge Economy however are that first, unlike the industrial revolution it does not require the same massive injections of capital into physical plant and R&D, and second, that countries may 'leapfrog' into the Knowledge Economy without having gone through industrialization. Many such developing countries (Mauritius is a prime example) have taken that leap and are now functioning effectively in and with cyberspace. However, not all countries are participating equally in this interconnected world and this paper examines one country which has not taken up the challenge of the Knowledge Economy -the Republic of Kiribati which straddles the equator in the heart of the Pacific Ocean. Kiribati is an island nation, and its people are of the sea, with fishing as the mainstay of their subsistence lifestyle. Nets are part of every-day life - but the Net is outside their world. It is suggested that the combination of a conservative culture and a paternalistic form of government -itself a reflection of Micronesian cultural values -combine to create an environment where ITC is not pursued actively - or indeed at all. There are significant cultural and socio-political barriers that inhibit the uptake of ITC and some of these factors are explored in this paper.
