Greetings from Korea. (and APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING)

Dear Colleagues,

At Korea Culture Tourism Institute which is an affiliated research institute
with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism,
I am beginning a new research project on the social enterprise in tourism
industry. As some of you may be aware, social enterprise has been introduced
as a means for social service and job generation in goverment policy field.
As such, MCST has been interested government's role in nuturing
this relatively new field in Korea, specially in tourism industry.

As a starting point, I am searching related materials such as policy
report and papers about this topic, but it has not been very successful
I wonder whether colleagues out there around the globe are aware of any
examples, case-studies, reports etc. on social enterprise in tourism industry.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks, in advance, for any assitance you may be able to offer.

Sincerely,
Yongseok Shin

Tourism:
Tourism can be viewed as one aspect of globalisation which has captured
the world�s attention in the late 20th century and the new millennium. On
the other hand globalisation has presented opportunities for countries to
promote their cultures internationally through various means, such as
tourism. At the same time, globalisation has also produced the opportunity
for tourism to exist on a large scale, which has made the international
promotion of a culture possible to exist. As a result of globalisation and
tourism development, many problems may emerge, for example: changed
patterns of land use; a universal pattern of design, construction and
material use; inappropriate uses of the gridiron systems of planning;
wasteful patterns of social consumption; the rise of a corporate culture;
and the development of environmental problems. The problems are
self-evident. The effects are illustrated in every aspect of physical form
that closely ties into the social and cultural changes. The classic
example is the disappearance of vernacular practices of construction; of
materials and methods that are specific to their culture and environment.

Therefore, how can planning contribute to recovery from and adjustment to
the current problems as well as avoid unintended consequences of tourism
development in the future? What are strategic planning agendas at the
national, regional and local level for adjusting to the current tourism
development in a particular destination? How can the agendas be
institutionalized to assure their realization? What lesson can be
distilled from the current challenges in global tourism for planning
education and research in developed and less developed countries?
This International Conference on Urban, Regional Planning is seek to know
the answer of the question by providing forum for the presentation of new
advances and research results in the fields of theoretical, experimental,
and applied Urban and Regional Planning. The conference will bring
together leading researchers and scientists in the domain of interest

Economic Downturn Continues to Weaken Tourism Industry

Accelerating Job Losses, Sharp Declines in Spending Send Discouraging Signals

Key statistics recently released by the Commerce Department for the first quarter of 2009 confirm that the current economic downturn has created the most difficult environment for the U.S. tourism industry since 9/11.

Total tourism-related employment decreased by 149,000 during the first quarter, settling at 8.35 million. This is the second largest quarterly drop on record and the worst since the fourth quarter of 2001. Job losses continued to accelerate, slipping from -4.0% to -6.8% (annualized) for the quarter.

If the industry continues to eliminate jobs at the present rate, this would translate into a loss of 581,000 industry-supported jobs for the year and would effectively erase over a decade�s worth of job growth in the industry.

Total tourism-related spending figures suggest that the U.S. tourism industry shrank by 15.4% during the first quarter; by comparison, current-dollar U.S. GDP contracted at the rate of 4.6% during the same period.

Dear RTS and TRINET members,

With a heart full of sadness and regret, I wish to let you all know that Dr. Lloyd Hudman (aka “Hud”), one of the leading pioneers in the study of tourism, passed away on August 15, 2009, after a very long and courageous battle with cancer. As you all know, he authored several of the earliest tourism textbooks for the courses we now teach. He was an avid researcher and loved to travel the world, exploring new places and devising new research projects. He particularly enjoyed involving his students in field work. His love for teaching and mentoring students has influenced hundreds of tourism and geography scholars and practitioners directly, and tens of thousands indirectly, throughout the world. His students have become tourism and geography lecturers/professors all over Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, Europe, the Pacific Islands and North America. It was not uncommon for former students to recognize him at airports and on street corners all over the world!! (I witnessed it personally) Lloyd was a wonderful man and an excellent professor of geography at Brigham Young University (Utah, USA). Lloyd’s influential teaching and mentorship were what laid the foundation for my own interest in tourism studies, and his positive influence, kindness, compassion, selflessness, and deep intellect were all part of a man I have tried to emulate in my own personal and professional life.

Lloyd was an incredibly service-oriented person. His greatest joys were spending time with his family and serving people less fortunate than himself. He never complained about his condition—he only asked what he could do for others. When he retired from BYU, he continued to serve the community by making rounds at cancer centers with his dog, Sapphire, to cheer up the sick and weary. He truly believed in the therapeutic benefits of animals and good companionship. The patients he so faithfully visited (and hospital staff) adored him and benefited enormously from his selfless efforts, while he never let on to them that he himself was dying of cancer. Lloyd has a large family and huge circle of friends who adore him…it couldn’t be otherwise with Lloyd.

Our deepest sympathies go to his wife, Claire Ann, four daughters, eight grandchildren, and eleven great-grandchildren. Dr. Hudman will be sorely missed by everyone who ever had the privilege of knowing him. His legacy is tremendous for so many people and will no doubt continue to influence generations of scholars to come. He was one of the most influential people in my life, and I am forever grateful for the personal and professional example he set for me.

Very best wishes,

Dallen Timothy

Dear List members

We are pleased to announce and CFP for the following forthcoming international conference:

world heritage and tourism:

Managing for the global and the local

3-4 June 2010, Quebec City, Canada

As of 2009, approximately 900 sites are registered on the UNESCO World Heritage list. For many sites inscription on the World Heritage List acts as a promotional device and the management challenge is one of protection, conservation and dealing with increased numbers of tourists. For other sites, designation has not brought anticipated expansion in tourist numbers and associated investments. What is clear is that tourism is now a central concern to the wide array of stakeholders involved with World Heritage Sites. We increasingly need to understand the multi-layered relationships between the diverse range of Sites and tourism and tourists and, to focus on how tourism is effectively managed for the benefit of all.

This conference seeks to explore a series of critical and fundamental questions being raised by the various ‘owners’, managers and local communities involved with World Heritage Sites in relation to tourism: Why do tourists visit some World Heritage Sites and not others? What is the tourist experience of such Sites? How successful are Sites in the management of tourists? What roles do local communities play in Site management? How can the ‘spirit of place’ be protected in the face of the sheer volume of tourists? How can some Sites maximize the potential of a sustainable tourism for the purposes of poverty alleviation and community cohesion? How effective are communication strategies in bringing stakeholders together? What management skills are needed to address the needs of different stakeholders, different sites and different cultures?

We encourage papers from a wide range of disciplinary perspectives and welcome submissions which address theoretical, empirical, methodological, comparative and practical perspectives on the fullest array of themes associated with the management of UNESCO World Heritage.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Original papers are invited to consider subject areas including, but not limited to, the following themes:

� Marketing in the management of World Heritage Sites;

� The pragmatics of managing tourists;

� Financing World Heritage;

� Community involvement in Site management;

� Relations between intangible cultural heritage and Site management;

� The role of the private tourism sector;

� The nature of tourist experience and behaviour at World Heritage Sites;

� Shaping local, regional and national identities through Site inscription;

� Issues of governance and transnational regulation;

� Legal rights and notions of ‘ownership’;

� The management of World Heritage ‘values’;

� The geo-politics of inclusion and exclusion;

� Methods of Site evaluation;

� Managing spiritual values and biodiversity;

� The role of UNESCO and the political economies of designation.

Please submit your 500 words abstract (in French or English) including a title and full contact details as an electronic file to Professor Maria Gravari-Barbas (Maria.Gravari-Barbas@...) or Laurent Bourdeau (laurent.bourdeau@...) as soon as possible but no later than 15 December 2009.

Publication opportunity: Papers accepted for the conference will be published in the conference proceedings, subject to author registration. Best papers from the conference will also be considered for publication in a special issue of the Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change.

Conference Organisers: UNESCO/UNITWIN NETWORK for Culture, Tourism and Development, the Faculty of Business Administration at Universit� Laval, the Universit� Paris 1 Panth�on-Sorbonne and the Centre for Tourism and Cultural Change at Leeds Metropolitan University.

With apologies for any cross-posting:

Cultures of Movement: Mobile Subjects, Communities, and Technologies in =

Panel, paper, and alternative-format presentation submissions are =
invited for the "Cultures of Movement: Mobile Subjects, Communities, and =
Technologies in the Americas" conference, to be held in Victoria, =
British Columbia, Canada, on April 8-10, 2010.

Open to students, scholars, and professionals, the conference is meant =
to build new ties amongst all those interested in the theoretical or =
applied study of mobilities. The study of mobilities is a young and =
constantly evolving interdisciplinary field. The concept of "mobility" =
refers to the social, political, historical, cultural, economic, =
geographic, communicative, and material dimensions of movement. Students =
and scholars of mobilities focus their attention on the intersecting =
movements of bodies, objects, capital, and signs across time-space, =
paying attention as well as to the way relations between mobility and =
immobility constitute new networks and patterns of social life. The =
multiple forms of mobility, or mobilities, are often taken to =
include-amongst others-subjects such as: transportation; travel and =
tourism; migration; transnational flows of people, objects, information, =
and capital; mobile communications; and social networks and meetings. =
While the conference is open to all themes pertinent to the study of =
mobilities from a social and cultural perspective-irrespective of the =
geographical site of empirical or theoretical attention-the main focus =
of the conference will be on the experience, practice, social =
organization, and cultural significance of forms of mobility in North, =
Central, and South America.=20

Whereas in Europe the new mobilities paradigm has taken a strong hold in =
academic units, professional research networks, and recognized =
publication outlets, the study of mobilities is still in its infancy in =
the Americas. In contrast, mobility is very much part of the core of the =
social imaginary, geo-politics, and cultural life of the Americas. =
Indeed, to be "on the move" is amongst the most quintessential =
characteristics of what it means to be a citizen of the Americas. =
Furthermore, the Americas are home to many, distinct mobile cultures and =
practices: from indigenous cultures rooted in traditional meanings of =
home to the historical institutionalization of colonial and postcolonial =
trade routes and forced relocations, from controversial experiments in =
free transnational trade, to the politics and experience of migration =
and Diaspora, from the widespread diffusion of portable communication =
technologies, to the mobilization of surveillance systems, and from the =
leisure mobilities of tourism, to the social and cultural significance =
of transportation and movement in daily life.

Dear past SERR participants and other colleagues,

We invite your participation in the 32^nd Annual Southeastern Recreation Research (SERR) Conference scheduled for February 21^st � 23^rd, 2010 in Greenville, South Carolina. Graduate and undergraduate students, faculty, agency planners, land managers, and researchers are all encouraged to attend the conference and submit a proposal for an oral or poster presentation.

This year's conference will feature Fran P. Mainella as the keynote speaker. She served as the 16th Director of the National Park Service and was the first woman to hold that position. Also, this year's conference will include brief, provocative position statements made by senior members within our professions in an effort to challenge the current thinking and practices within the field of recreation and park management. Finally, the conference will include concurrent sessions, which will allow greater opportunities for oral presentations and follow-up discussions.

The SERR Conference provides an exceptional opportunity for researchers and managers within the parks, recreation and amenity management system fields to learn about and discuss each other�s projects, research findings, and regional needs. The conference focus is on outdoor-based leisure, recreation and tourism research, however other topics are welcome if they have a direct link to this focus. The call for papers, additional conference information, and on-line registration can be found at www.serrconference.org. The deadline for submission of paper proposals is November 2^nd.

Please forward this announcement to other colleagues who might be interested in attending the SERR Conference. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you in Greenville!

Subject: FW: Journal Announcement - The Journal of Tourism and Peace Research

Dallen.Timothy@...

Invitation to participate in the new academic journal

Volume 1 Number 1, 2010

The Journal of Tourism and Peace Research

Editor in-Chief: Omar Moufakkir, Stenden University, The Netherlands

Associate Editor: Alon Gelbman, Kinneret College on the Sea of Galilee, Israel

Associate Editor Dallen Timothy, Arizona State University, USA

Associate Editor: Ian Kelly, University of South Australia, Australia

Published by the International Centre for Peace through Tourism Research, Stenden University -ISSN 1878-7754

www.icptr.com

Papers for the journal should be submitted electronically via email to: omar.moufakkir@...

Please note this is an online academic journal. Papers submitted are subject to the usual academic processes of anonymous peer reviewing.

Aims and scope

The main aim of The Journal of Tourism and Peace Research is to provide a peer-reviewed forum for the study and discussion of tourism and peace issues in tourism and tourism-related areas of leisure, recreation and hospitality studies. The realities of the 21st Century, including globalization, the EU enlargement, immigration, terrorism, home-grown terror, made and natural catastrophes, conflicts, stereotypes, perceptions, and rising poverty, necessitate a closer look at the role of tourism. The Journal of Tourism and Peace Research is an international journal that encompasses all aspects of tourism and leisure oriented to peace, cooperation and conflict solutions. Tourism and Peace is broad in scope and deals with many factors relating to peace, such as appropriate planning, international cooperation, peace through tourism, tourism for peace, tourism in conflict-ridden areas, avoiding potential negative impacts of tourism and mitigating existing ones, tourism and human rights, peace museums, tourism and attitude change, inappropriate tourism behavior, inappropriate industry behavior, tourism and peace initiatives and examples of good practice through tourism, tourism and borders – physical and perceptual, tourism and cross cultural behavior and understanding, tourism encounters, political tourism, and ethical tourism.

The major concerns of the journal revolve around the myths, realities and potential of tourism as an agent of peace. Critical questions concerning the extent to which tourism can contribute to the multifaceted nature of peace, and help it to function in an ethical manner can guide our research.

Tribe (2008: 245) reminds us that “tourism ought to be a more critical business”. The Journal of Tourism and Peace Research hopes to engage peace and tourism researchers with critical theory, using its insights and guidance to answer related critical questions. In the tourism and peace context, aspects of critical theory can help us to understand what tourism is and what it is not, what it can do and what it cannot. The business of tourism is imbued with conflicting dynamics of power, struggle, empowerment, equality, hegemony, imperialism, inequality, exclusion, ideology, oppression, rejection, emancipation, and others. As “critical theory deliberately seeks to engage with normative questions of values and desired ends” (Tribe: 247), concepts such as these and other domains of critical theory can help us to further our understanding of the tourism environment with the objective of finding ways of using tourism to the benefit of peace.

The Journal of Tourism and Peace Research welcomes submissions from scholars in all parts of the world. Submitted research papers should normally be 4000-7000 words in length, and should demonstrate original and substantive contributions to scientific knowledge. Shorter articles in the form of Research Notes, Commentaries, Reports, and Reviews may also be submitted. The Journal of Tourism and Peace Research will be published twice a year, and will include themed collections as well as individual papers. The Journal of Tourism and Peace Research is committed to maintaining a high standard of quality and excellence through rigorous review procedures. In addition to tourism, it is of relevance to a number of disciplines, including sociology, anthropology, geography, environmental studies, peace and conflict studies, urban planning and hospitality management.
