2nd Call for Papers

Mobility and Successful Ageing
An International Conference

Place: Ume� University, Ume�, Sweden
Date: 1 -3 April 2009
Deadline for abstract submission: 15 December 2008.
Updated conference web page: http://www.umu.se/soc_econ_geography/conference/call.html

Hereby the Department of Social and Economic Geography and the Centre of Population Studies/Ageing and Living Condition Programme, Ume� University, would like to call for papers to be presented at the international research conference Mobility and Successful Ageing. The conference is co-organized by the International Geographical Union's Commission for Population Geography and by the International Geographical Union's Commission on the Geography of Tourism, Leisure and Mobility.

Themes
In focus of the conference are the interrelations between two distinctive features of contemporary society; population ageing and geographical mobility. Mobility in different forms � permanent, temporary, virtual � is a topic of growing concern in the social sciences today, due to the trends of increasing mobility but also to the awareness regarding mobility�s role in shaping spatial patterns and social relations. New opportunities to be mobile as well as constraints to mobility, in different forms, affect the socio-economic situation and everyday lives of both the young and the elderly. Mobility is usually associated with the young age groups, but mobility is increasingly important among the growing number of elderly people. Moving to attractive places, going for holidays, circulating between various activities in daily life, are all parts of the lives of the successful, wealthy and healthy elderly, whilst those constrained by physical and cognitive disabilities, social isolation and economic limitations may be forced to immobility and restrained from a successful ageing in our increasingly mobile society. The interrelations between ageing and mobility affect not only the living conditions of the elderly but also society in general and include issues such as mobility of the also the young, regional demographic changes, transportation, intergenerational contacts, housing demand, travel demand, supply of tourist activities etc.

The conference theme includes

geographical mobility in a broad sense;

international migration,

internal migration,

residential mobility,

commuting, daily travel,

tourism,

sojourning,

virtual mobility

all related to various aspects of ageing; demographic ageing, physical and cognitive ageing, ageing in society and living conditions of the elderly.

RESIDENTIAL TOURISM

(De)Constructing Paradise

Mason R. McWatters (The University of Texas at Austin)

The concept of residential tourism provides an exciting new dimension in understanding relationships between tourism mobility and the effects of tourists on the locations they consume. In both location and approach this book will be a welcome addition to the tourism and cultural change literature.

Professor C. Michael Hall, College of Business & Economics, University of Canterbury, New Zealand

Residential Tourism: (De)Constructing Paradise offers an interesting glimpse into the ongoing evolution of residential tourism in western Panama. Mason McWatters goes beyond the physical effects of residential tourism to examine the broader effects on experiences and meanings of place for tourists and locals. As such, this well-written work will be of interest to those in both the fields of tourism and geography.

Velvet Nelson, PhD, Sam Houston State University, Texas, USA

Residential Tourism: (De)Constructing Paradise offers the first in-depth, critical exploration of the foreign retirement/expatriate communities proliferating in both size and number throughout Latin America. Amidst the widespread development and promotion of international destinations of residential “paradise” intended for retirement, leisure, and experiences of exotica, this book draws on a diversity of perspectives in order to analyze the social and spatial impacts that this dynamic phenomenon has on the people and places it directly affects.

Contents

Chapter One: Understanding Residential Tourism

Chapter Two: Spatial Interpretations: Seeing Landscape, Sensing Place

Chapter Three: Locating Boquete in Space and Time

Chapter Four: Longing for Landscape: Assessing Residential Tourists’ Experiences of Boquete

Chapter Five: The Estranging Place: Assessing Native Residents’ Experiences of Boquete

Chapter Six: Conclusion

Mason R. McWatters is a doctoral student in Geography at The University of Texas at Austin, where he previously earned a Master of Arts degree in Latin American Studies. His research interests are based in Central America and include such themes as consumption-oriented migration, representations of place and landscape, the socio-spatial effects of tourism, and the dynamic tension between preservation and development.

***Apologies for cross posting***

Dear List Members

The Centre for Tourism and Cultural Change (CTCC), Leeds Metropolitan University would like to remind you of the following forthcoming conference that might be of interest to you:

Resorting to the Coast:

Tourism, Heritage and Cultures of the Seaside

25—29 June 2009

Blackpool, United Kingdom

organised by

Centre for Tourism and Cultural Change

Institute of Northern Studies

Leeds Metropolitan University, United Kingdom

www.tourism-culture.com

Globally, coastlines are arguably the most important sites for tourist activity and tourism development. The various combinations of sea and shore have become highly popular and successful attractions, and a majority of the world’s leisure tourists cling to these liminal spaces at the margins of the land. The lure of the ‘seaside’, the beach, and the resorts which have evolved to service and entertain tourists, is immensely powerful, reflecting a long standing but ever-changing relationship between humans and the oceans. The dominance of coastal tourism within the modern period has generated a wealth of issues which this conference seeks to address, including: The patterns and trends in how tourists mobilise the resources of sea, sand and shore; Ways in which coastal communities have adapted to tourism; Environmental degradation and regeneration of coastal regions and marine ecologies; The historical forms, structures and aesthetics of ‘seaside’ resorts; Regeneration of ‘historic’ resorts; Continuing multi-national development of ‘pristine’ coastlines; Inclusivities and exclusivities in coastal resorts; Changing beach and seaside holiday ‘traditions’.

In addressing such issues this major international and multi-disciplinary conference seeks to promote dialogue across disciplinary boundaries on a global stage. We therefore welcome papers from: anthropology, archaeology, architecture, art and design history, cultural geography, cultural studies, ethnology and folklore, history, heritage studies, landscape studies, linguistics, museum studies, political science, sociology, tourism studies and urban/spatial planning. The event will seek to draw upon ideas, cases and best practice from international scholars and help develop new understandings of the relationships between tourism and the coast. It will also provide a major networking opportunity for international scholars, policy makers and professionals.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Key themes of interest to the conference include:

· Histories of coastal tourism developments and resorts;

· Regeneration of coastal economies;

· Social and environmental impacts of coastal developments;

· Representations of seaside holidays in popular culture;

· Worker migrations to coastal sites;

· Beach behaviours and traditions;

· Myths of the sea and coastal communities;

· Coastal resort art and architecture;

· Tourist coastal colonies.

Please submit a 300 word abstract including title and full contact details as an electronic file to the conference manager Daniela Carl (ctcc@...). You may submit your abstract as soon as possible but no later than 2nd February 2009.

The official deadline to submit abstracts is 1^st May 2009. However, in order to facilitate travel and funding arrangements for delegates, we offer a pre-admission deadline already on 28^th February 2009.

The conference is broadly interested in the relationship between motion and emotions, especially in the social fields of tourism and travel. In the latter, bodies and matter are set in motion; people move through unfamiliar grounds and are exposed to exotic sensations, to the heat or cold of water, snow and sunshine, to odours, tastes, smells, colours, and forms that contrast with the aesthetics of their quotidian environments. Tourism and travel make them leave their secure spaces of the familiar and expose them, in secure doses, to the unfamiliar. They involve a somehow calculated transgression of the ordinary, a ritualised temporary liquefaction of moral and aesthetic rules that frame everyday life. Motion disturbs the order of those in movement and challenges them to discover the familiar in the unfamiliar, to reconstruct and reconsider normality through the encounter of the extraordinary. It challenges them to repossess their bodies, to rethink the fundament of their being, to reassess the separations that configure the natures and identities of their belonging.

Themes of particular interest include:

- Passions and Transgressions: Eroticism, Liminality, Carnival, Violence and Power in Tourism and Travel;

- Passions and Desires for Fluidity, Freedom, Friendship, Connection, Transhumance, Authenticity, Beauty;

- Passions and Flirts with Danger, Fear and Fantasy in Tourism and Travel;

- Passions and Joyful Sufferings: Epic Journeys, Mountain Liturgies and Touristic Activities that (may) Hurt;

- Passions and Stendhal Syndromes: Religious and Aesthetic Sublimation in Tourism, Pilgrimage and Travel;

- Passions and Consumptions: Pleasures and Symbolic Economies of Eating, Digesting, Excreting in Tourism;

- Passions and Morals in Tourism and Travel: Ambivalences of Encounter, Ethics, Moral and Legal Frames;

- Passions, Identity and the Making and Unmaking of ‘Passions’ in Culture and Social Performance;

- Economies and Politics of Passion in Tourism, Hospitality and Travel.

With best wishes and on behalf of my colleagues and conference convenors, David Picard, Simone Abram and Mike Robinson,

** apologies for cross-posting **

CONTINUOUS / ONGOING CALL FOR PAPERS - CURRENT ISSUES IN METHOD AND
PRACTICE

Over the past few years, the Current Issues in Method and Practice
(CIMP) section of Current Issues in Tourism
(<http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/1368-3500
  >) has published several stimulating articles, including:

** Tourism Statistics: Methodological Imperatives and Difficulties:
The Case of Residential Tourism in Island Communities
(<http://www.multilingual-matters.net/cit/011/cit0110369.htm
  >)

** The Potential for Appreciative Inquiry in Tourism Research
(<http://www.multilingual-matters.net/cit/011/cit0110281.htm
  >)

** An Email-Based Delphi Approach to Tourism Program Evaluation:
Involving Stakeholders in Research Design
(<http://www.multilingual-matters.net/cit/011/cit0110269.htm
  >)

The aim of the CIMP section is twofold: (1) to publish thought-
provoking papers that examine and challenge methods in tourism
research; and (2) to provide an outlet for work that considers the
interface(s) between industry/sector and academia.

Submissions are therefore welcome that have as their focus one or more
of the following broad areas:

(1) a specific methodological issue: for example, question(s) of
ontology and epistemology in tourism research;

(2) an exploration of a specific method (or set/series of methods) in
tourism research, where the focus is largely (if not exclusively) on
the operationalisation of that method as opposed to the information it
yields;

(3) issues of dissemination: for example, how tourism research is
disseminated �on the ground� to the various industries, enterprise
operations and firms that comprise the multifaceted tourism sector.
Further to this, how should academics best frame their research in
order to be of use to stakeholders and decision-makers?

Submissions are generally between 3000-5000 words.  Style and format
guidelines mirror those in place for the journal itself, which can be
found here: <http://tinyurl.com/3rmc89>

Note that this is a continuing (on-going) Call for Papers.  There is
no set deadline.  Submissions are assessed as they are received.

HOW TO SUBMIT A MANUSCRIPT TO CIMP FOR CONSIDERATION

Current Issues in Tourism employs an online method of manuscript
submission, which can be found at <http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/cvp-cit
  >.  During the process of submitting a new article, you are prompted
to select the "Manuscript Type", which is where you may select
"Current Issues in Method and Practice".

Balancing socio-cultural, artistic, tourism and commercial dimensions of festivals

Bratislava, Slovakia 18^th – 20^th March 2009

Conference Aims

Festivals and cultural events of all kinds are of growing interest to policy makers and practitioners in the arts, community development, regeneration, and tourism sectors. This interest and involvement gives rise to a number of critical questions concerning the relationships between these sectors in the development, management and evaluation of festivals and cultural events alongside tourism.

Themes of Interest

Key themes of interest to the conference include:

Economic development policy and regeneration dimensions of festivals and cultural events
Partnerships and collaborations in festival planning, management and performance
Festivals as product and packaging opportunities for the tourism sector
The contribution of festivals and cultural events to place images
The re-structuring, re-shaping and re-animation of city spaces and new communities through festivals and cultural events
Festival and event 'legacies'
Emerging tourist market trends and their implications for festivals and cultural events
Service quality management at festivals and cultural events
Economic assessments of festivals and cultural events
Managing risk and visitor behaviour at festivals and cultural events

Please send your abstract of no more than 300 words with full address details as an electronic file to Dr. Philip Long (p.e.long@...) as soon as possible but by February 13^th 2009 at the latest.

Subject: cfp - International Retirement Migration

ncarr@...

Please respond to the guest editor, Ed Jackiewicz (ed.jackiewicz@...
<mailto:ed.jackiewicz@...> )

CFP: Special Issue of Journal, Recreation and Society in Africa, Asia and South
America on International Retirement Migration



Guest editor:  Ed Jackiewicz, Associate Professor, Department of Geography,
California State University



Individuals seeking an affordable place to retire and/or purchase an additional
home are increasingly seeking out destinations in less developed regions of the
world.  Indeed, many aesthetically pleasing locales throughout the world are
being transformed into retirement havens to lure potential buyers.  Of course,
this transformation is not occurring without problems and controversy.  This
group of migrants is seeking an amenity rich lifestyle that is often at odds
with the local economy, environment, and culture/society that needs to be
balanced with the potential economic advantages of their arrival.  As an
increasing amount of land and resources is being devoted to this construction,
one must also consider the long-term potential of this industry given the
current volatility of the global economy. Additionally, there are an increasing
number of destinations competing for foreign arrivals, but is there sufficient
demand from the global north for these places?



The guest editor invites interested researchers to contribute theoretical and/or
empirical papers related to the theme of this special issue. The topics of
potential manuscripts include, but are not limited to:

* The economic impacts associated with retirement related development
* The social/cultural relations between retirement migrants and host communities
* The construction of cultural, sub-cultural and personal identities through
these migrations
* The role of organizations such as realtors, travel agents, et al. in
facilitating this process
* The decision-making process of migrants (or would-be) migrants
* Destination marketing in Asia, Africa, and Latin America



Submission Guidelines

1. In the first instance authors are invited to submit a 400 - 500 word abstract
for consideration for the special issue. Selected authors will then be asked to
produce a full paper based on their abstract for potential publication subject
to a favorable review process
2. Electronic submissions should be sent by e-mail attachment to
ed.jackiewicz@... <mailto:ed.jackiewicz@...> .
3. Ideally, abstracts and papers should be sent as Microsoft Word files
4. Articles should be 5000-6000 words in length.
5. All submissions will be anonymously reviewed by two independent assessors.



Important Dates:

Abstract deadline: 31th March 2009

Notification of acceptance of abstracts deadline: 15th  April 2009

Submission of full paper deadline: 31st  July 2009

Special issue publication: December 2009

CALL FOR PAPERS

�

‘Dickens and Tourism’

University of Nottingham

11^th – 14^t^h September 2009

Organised by

The Christel DeHaan Tourism and Travel Research Institute

Nottingham University Business School, United Kingdom

The bi-centenary of Charles Dickens’s birth will occur in February 2012 in the run-up to the London Olympics, and it is anticipated that the many exciting events associated with the occasion will stimulate tourism to places associated with him, such as London, Portsmouth and Kent. His works are read around the world and television and film versions have also given them new popularity. Dickens was writing at a time when mass tourism was just beginning, as the railway age began, and was a considerable tourist himself, travelling in Europe and America. Thomas Cook was only four years older than Dickens and organised his first American Tour (led by his son) some fourteen years after Dickens went there for the first time. Dickens uses tourism as a motif in several novels: Pickwick Papers, Dombey and Son and Little Dorrit, for example. He also had a collection of travel writing and contributed to the genre, and the journals he edited also make use of tourism topics. This is an exciting time for Dickens studies but also for tourism scholars to look at tourism past and potential and the role of literature and other writing within it. It is a new opportunity for real cross-fertilisation between literature, tourism, museums and archives, geography and cultural, media and communications studies.

The above conference will take place at the University of Nottingham, 11^th – 14^th September 2009. Further details will be available via http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/ttri/

Paper Submission

We are looking for papers across a wide range of interests. Proposals are invited on the following main themes (which are not in any way exclusive):

· Victorian tourism, its antecedents and legacy.

· Travel writing and guide books of the Victorian period.

· Dickens’s travel writing: American Notes, Pictures from Italy and the Journals.

· Tourism as it appears in the novels of Dickens and his contemporaries.

· Tourism to sites associated with Dickens and his contemporaries.

· ‘Literary’ tourism and its association with media-stimulated tourism.

· Museums and attractions and their roles in tourism.

�

Papers are invited from scholars in any relevant discipline.

�

Abstracts should not be more than 500 words long, 12 point, 1�-line spaced and be formatted for printing on A4 paper. The deadline for submission of abstracts is Friday 29^th May 2009. A final paper of around 4 – 8,000 words must be submitted by Friday 31^st July 2009 for inclusion in the Conference Proceedings. All abstracts and papers should be submitted electronically to Ann.Lavin@...

Celebrating Over 40 Years of Radical Geography

************************************************************
Free Online - 40 Key Articles! - www.wiley.com/go/antipode40
************************************************************

Dear Colleague,

Antipode is 40 years old in 2009!

To celebrate this anniversary we are delighted to offer you free access
to a range of key articles published in Antipode from 1969-2009. Some of the most
influential social scientists have published in the journal - such as David Harvey,
Mike Davis, Doreen Massey, Neil Smith, Linda McDowell and Cindi Katz - and its
average citation impact over the last decade places it within the top 7 journals
in Geography and the Environmental Sciences.

The journal is distinctive not only because of the radical scholarship
it publishes, but it also contributes to the wider project of critical social science
in a number of ways, including offering annual Graduate Scholarships and
running biannual Summer Institutes for young researchers.

We hope you enjoy reading them!

ATLAS annual conference 2009

Experiencing Difference
Changing Tourism and Tourists' Experiences

Aalborg University, Denmark, 27 - 29 May 2009

Due to many requests we are happy to announce an extention of the deadline for submitting abstracts for the ATLAS annual conference to March 16th 2009.

Please visit the conference website at www.atlas-euro.org

Experiences have always been a central part of tourism - from the educational pursuits of the 17th century Grand Tours and up until extreme sport endeavours of the present day. What seems to have changed most significantly within recent years is, however, the efforts and ingenuity that tourism marketers put into creating experience possibilities that set their tourism destination, attraction, accommodation facility or other types of tourism services apart from competitors' and make their offers the favoured choice among tourists. And though the tourism experience is personal - a marriage between expectations, actual encounter and memories - the tourism marketer still has the possibility to heavily influence the experience in a given direction provided that market research has been central in forming the experience offer. A market-driven approach as described here, or outside-in approach in which the market determines the offers of the destination or attraction, may, however, be questioned, as it can be argued that tourism marketers should rather focus on developing experience possibilities that are closely tied to the identity and cultural heritage from which they originate. Hence an inside-out approach is also traceable in the experience literature which is tied up closely with the discussions on authenticity that repeatedly appears in a tourism context. Rather than seeing these two approaches as incompatible opposites, it may make more sense to seem them as the two ends on a continuum, which also suggests that various degrees of combinations of the two may be adopted both by scholars and practitioners.

The theme of the 2009 annual ATLAS conference has been inspired by this recent surge of interest in tourism and experiences, and papers will reflect the many different roles of experiences in tourism.

From the perspective of tourists: To what extent are experiences new reasons to go? What role does the tourist see him/herself as having in the experience and how does past experiences influence tourist preferences and behaviour?
From the perspective of tourist enterprises: How are pressures for making products more experience-oriented handled by large, small and micro tourism enterprises? And what are the risks in relation to tourists who prefer things 'as they have always been'?
From the perspective of destination management organisations: How can experiences build bridges between fashion, architecture, design, sport, edutainment and social activities? And how are public tourism provider and private tourism enterprises engaged in new experience initiatives.
From the perspective of local inhabitants: How can 'experience places' be reconciled with the everyday lives of local inhabitants? And do new inventive experience offers conflict with local sense of cultural heritage and authenticity?
From the perspective of tourism and leisure studies: What are the consequences of different scientific approaches (e.g. economic, sociological) for the understanding of experiences? And, not least, after the dust of the debates has settled, what is new, useful and exciting compared to existing ways of conceptualising tourism?

Abstracts should be submitted to ATLAS by using the abstract submission form at the ATLAS website no later than March 16 ^th 2009.

For more information on the submission of abstracts and all the details on the conference, please visit the ATLAS website at www.atlas-euro.org.

SECOND NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC GEOTOURISM COMPETITION OPENS

Online Contest Seeks Top Innovators in Sustainable Tourism

WASHINGTON (Feb. 18, 2009)�The National Geographic Society and Ashoka's Changemakers today opened the entry process for the second annual "Geotourism Challenge" to showcase how tourism done well sustains, enhances and preserves local culture and the environment. The competition will identify individuals worldwide who have introduced the most innovative practices in tourism and destination stewardship.

Conducted in partnership with Ashoka's Changemakers, the global Geotourism Challenge will accept online applications at www.changemakers.net/geotourismchallenge through May 20, 2009. Applicants must demonstrate an innovation that protects destination quality and furthers geotourism, defined by National Geographic as "tourism that sustains or enhances the geographical character of a place � its environment, culture, aesthetics, heritage and the well-being of its residents."

During this period, anyone can debate, endorse or provide additional information on the entries. A distinguished panel of judges � including Keith Bellows, editor of National Geographic Traveler magazine, and Erika Harms, United Nations Foundation's executive director for sustainable development � will review the applications and select the finalists. The online community will then vote for the Geotourism Challenge winners, who will be announced this summer. Each winner will receive a cash prize of $5,000.

"This year's competition theme, 'Power of Place � Sustaining the Future of Destinations,' focuses on protecting the locales where history, culture and nature live. We want to recognize business and civic innovators who sustain distinctive places for the enjoyment of current and future generations," said Jonathan Tourtellot, director of National Geographic's Center for Sustainable Destinations.

Last year's Geotourism Challenge produced 320 nominations from 83 countries. The three winners and 12 finalists gathered at National Geographic's Washington, D.C., headquarters in October to present their innovative business models at the first Geotourism Change Summit attended by 150 country dignitaries and representatives of funding institutions and tourism-industry, conservation and preservation groups. The competition also created an online community of geotourism activists, ranging from preservationists to developers. All can use competition results and resources to apply holistic geotourism principles locally by consulting the Changemakers Web site, www.changemakers.net/geotourismchallenge.

The 2008 winners were a program in Ecuador's Amazon region to provide Amazonian youth with an academic degree in nature tourism; an outfitter in Nepal that trains women to be trekking professionals in a culture that offers women limited job opportunities; and an eco-lodge in Costa Rica that is teaching native Cabecar Indians how to manage the business in one of the country's celebrated rain forests.

"Changemakers is very excited about this opportunity to partner once again with National Geographic to highlight this important issue," said Ashoka's Changemakers Executive Director Charlie Brown. "Our last competition revealed a wide selection of amazing innovations in geotourism. We are looking forward to many more such creative projects surfacing this spring within the Changemakers community."

The Geotourism Challenge is one of the key programs of National Geographic's Center for Sustainable Destinations (CSD). For more information on geotourism and destination stewardship, visit www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/sustainable.
