    Poverty Tourism Case Study

    The term ethics originate from two Greek words, one of which means both “stable” and “living conditions” which demonstrates the fundamentally concrete, down to earth, meaning of the term. And also it finds its roots in another word which has the meaning of a way of living, a way of living in oneself in such a way as to orient one’s actions to live better, which shows us the formative force of this discipline on human thinking (Phaneuf, 2004). Ethics, according to Oxford dictionary can be understood as the moral values/standards that represent the behavioral pattern/attitude of a person (Oxford Dictionary, 2016). Ethics is the platform on which the concept and beliefs of good or evil, right or wrong are founded. It is usually formed from a religious and social platform. On the other hand, the concept of…

    The Role of Ethnographic Techniques in Tourism Planning

    There has been a growing realisation, in recent years, that planning for tourism development is necessary if perceived benefits are to be maximised and problems avoided (Pearce 1989:244). Most tourism planning approaches and models, such as those identified by Gunn (1994), Inskeep (1990) and Getz (1986) incorporate a survey or research phase which provide the basis for plan formulation. The nature and extent of the research conducted is likely to vary from project to project and, in many circumstances, may not be very in depth due to resource or time constraints.…

    Tourism and the Environment

    The effect of global warming is becoming ever more evident, well-known and of increasing concern as research is conducted on an ongoing basis and the results of this research are communicated widely through the media and print publications. Scientists believe that climate change is largely caused by humans producing pollution (i.e. burning of fossil fuels; accumulating vast amounts of garbage in dumps) and removing large areas of forests, which has caused an excess of heat-trapping gasses in the atmosphere. This is believed to be causing significant changes in weather patterns resulting in more frequent occurrences of drought, flooding, hurricanes and heat waves. Consequently, these weather pattern changes are believed to have had, and will continue to have, negative physical effects for all living beings (e.g. increased rates of death from famine; increases in life-threatening diseases) which will only intensify over time if changes are not enacted throughout the world (United Nations, 2009).…
