This study aims to examine and explain Mainland Chinese Generation Y tourists' travel constraints and revisit intention to Tibet, and to explore how these constraints are negotiated. A mixed-methods sequential transformative design was adopted in this study. The measurement scale of travel constraints for Tibet visits was developed in the first qualitative phase, which was followed by a quantitative investigation in which analysis of a questionnaire survey revealed that travel constraints had no significant or negative influences on Mainland Chinese Generation Y tourists' revisit intention. A further qualitative study was conducted to explain the quantitative results. Two themes emerged as crucial in negotiating travel constraints: the perception of self-efficacy, and self-concept and destination image congruence. The findings of qualitative and quantitative investigations are integrated and discussed in light of previous literature. Theoretical implications for future research and practical recommendations for the local tourism industry are also proposed.

Tourists are essential to a destination's social and economic recovery following disaster, reducing future risk and enhancing resilience. Drawing on the results of visitor surveys in Kaikōura, New Zealand, we analyse visitors' experiences and their consideration of natural hazard risk and response abilities in relation to a damaging earthquake in the region in 2016. Despite widespread national media and significant disruption, findings suggest the disaster had very little impact on visitors' perceptions and experiences and did not translate into greater preparedness. Instead, tourists reported only limited knowledge about what to do or where to go in the event of a natural hazard event. Results suggest tourists' resilience – and Kaikōura's resilience as a whole – would be enhanced by improving knowledge sharing and awareness building. Furthermore, by considering tourists as part of a linked social-ecological system, targeted interventions to improve understanding of natural hazards can support long-term recovery trajectories and minimize future losses.

This chapter presents a case study of 27seconds, a wine brand that has been established to achieve both social and financial goals, and as such fulfils the definition of a social enterprise. After outlining previous research on social enterprises, the chapter presents a case study of the origins, emergence and ongoing development of 27seconds since it was first launched in 2017 with the goal of raising funds for the charitable organisation Hagar. The chapter argues that while the initial success of the brand owes a great deal to the passion of the two owners, the groundswell of industry and public support for this endeavour, and the strong sense of pride and community interest, has been achieved in part due to the opportunity 27seconds offers to drink good wine while supporting a charitable cause.

The wine industry of Central Otago has experienced rapid growth over the past two decades. The region has a strong reputation as a producer of premium pinot noir, and there is strong synergy between the Central Otago wine brand and tourism promotion and activity in the region. This chapter reports on the experiences of 178 international and domestic wine tourists to Central Otago. In particular, it is focused on the perception of the winescape of the region, which is dominated by the natural scenery and landscape. While the cultural heritage and history of the district features strongly in the marketing and promotion of tourism and the wine industry in Central Otago, it features less prominently in these visitors’ perception of winescape. Implications of this finding for the future promotion of the region to wine tourists are discussed.

This chapter provides an overview of the wine tourism offerings and potential in the Côte Chalonnaise, a wine subregion in Burgundy, France. While the wines of Burgundy are globally renowned, the subregion of Côte Chalonnaise has lacked a strong wine or tourism identity to date. This is beginning to change, with wine stakeholders seeking to establish new markets for their wine through wine tourism initiatives, in a trend recognised in many wine regions worldwide, as wine stakeholders negotiate between local contingencies and external economic, political and social forces. Based on semi-structured interviews with wine and tourism stakeholders in the Côte d’Or and Côte Chalonnaise regions and supported by participant observation and documentary analysis, this research reveals that the Côte Chalonnaise is a peripheral region, in terms of both the reputation of its wines and tourist flows. The recent actions of local wine stakeholders—individually and collaboratively—have resulted in substantial development in wine tourism activities and attractions for visitors. The wine tourism offerings in the region look set to expand, given clear synergies between the needs of wine producers in this region to distribute their wines, and the requirement of Burgundy wine tour guides to find small vignerons willing to receive visitors.

This paper examines resilience through a case study of New Zealand’s largest wine region following a damaging earthquake in late-2016. Resilience assessment for the wine industry to date has largely focused on characterising risks and responses as a function of organisational and business management practices. Less in known about socio-ecological characteristics of resilience and how these shape and influence response capabilities and capacity to low-frequency, high-magnitude events within the broader context of other risks. The research employs a resilience-based framework to identify and assess relevant properties incorporating a whole-of-value-chain perspective. The participatory approach includes semi-structured interviews with stakeholders, including wine business managers, wine researchers, industry bodies and others involved in the production and distribution of wine; document analysis (media and emergency response reports), and insurance assessments. Results show the earthquake had direct impacts on infrastructure, with indirect impacts and implications in particular for transportation and logistics, affecting the industry’s ability to mitigate losses. Resilience varies across the region and the industry, in part as a function of size, scale, and ownership structure of the operation, which in turn influences future levels of preparedness. Resilience analysis provides conceptual and methodological tools for assessing the capacity of socio-ecological systems to recover from shocks and stresses. The framework developed here provides a useful conceptual and theoretical basis for further assessments and can inform the design of resilience indices to monitor organisations’ capacity to absorb shocks and prepare for future uncertainty. This type of analysis can help identify system-critical vulnerabilities and sensitivities and inform the development of strategies to develop specified and general resilience in the face of multiple stressors.

On 14 November 2016, a magnitude (Mw) 7.8 earthquake struck the small coastal settlement of Kaikōura, Aotearoa-New Zealand. With an economy based on tourism, agriculture, and fishing, Kaikōura was immediately faced with significant logistical, economic, and social challenges caused by damage to critical infrastructure and lifelines, essential to its main industries. Massive landslips cut off road and rail access, stranding hundreds of tourists, and halting the collection, processing and distribution of agricultural products. At the coast, the seabed rose two metres, limiting harbour-access to high tide, with implications for whale watching tours and commercial fisheries. Throughout the region there was significant damage to homes, businesses, and farmland, leaving owners and residents facing an uncertain future. This paper uses qualitative case study analysis to explore post-quake transformations in a rural context. The aim is to gain insight into the distinctive dynamics of disaster response mechanisms, focusing on two initiatives that have emerged in direct response to the disaster. The first examines the ways in which agriculture, food harvesting, production and distribution are being reimagined with the potential to enhance regional food security. The second examines the rescaling of power in decision-making processes following the disaster, specifically examining the ways in which rural actors are leveraging networks to meet their needs and the consequences of that repositioning on rural (and national) governance arrangements. In these and other ways, the local economy is being revitalised, and regional resilience enhanced through diversification, capitalising not on the disaster but the region’s natural, social, and cultural capital. Drawing on insights and experience of local stakeholders, policy- and decision-makers, and community representatives we highlight the diverse ways in which these endeavours are an attempt to create something new, revealing also the barriers which needed to be overcome to reshape local livelihoods. Results reveal that the process of transformation as part of rural recovery must be grounded in the lived reality of local residents and their understanding of place, incorporating and building on regional social, environmental, and economic characteristics. In this, the need to respond rapidly to realise opportunities must be balanced with the community-centric approach, with greater recognition given to the contested nature of the decisions to be made. Insights from the case examples can inform preparedness and recovery planning elsewhere, and provide a rich, real-time example of the ways in which disasters can create opportunities for reimagining resilient futures.

Purpose Recent theorising about the globalising countryside highlights the processes of place making, sense of place and the construction of place-based identities in rural regions, where exogenous forces are utilised, negotiated and contested by local communities as they seek to represent their place. A longitudinal case study of Akaroa’s French Festival shows how this place-based identity has been constructed, promoted and animated over the past two decades at the nexus of globalising and local forces. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach The research is based on qualitative methods utilising documentary analysis, participant observation and key stakeholder interviews undertaken in the township of Akaroa, New Zealand. Findings The form this festival has taken, and the version of the place identity represented therein, has shifted over the course of the last two decades. While this is in part due to the energy, personal heritage and agenda of local champions, the influence of the globalising forces, political, economic and cultural, have shaped the place image portrayed through this festival. Originality/value There are limited attempts to theorise rural festivals within a “global countryside” framework, and the detailed longitudinal research underpinning this paper provides a unique opportunity to explore the emergent issues in a rural community festival in qualitative detail. The study reinforces the understanding of the role of local agency in the making of places in a globalising world.

Studies of family leisure and holidays reveal that an important goal of these experiences is the fostering of family togetherness and social connectedness away from usual work/life pressures. As outlined by [Schänzel, H. A., and K. A. Smith. 2014. “The Socialization of Families Away from Home: Group Dynamics and Family Functioning on Holiday.” Leisure Sciences 36 (2): 126–143], however, family experiences of leisure include opportunities for both ‘family time’ and ‘own time’. Family time incorporates opportunities for strengthening family bonds by creating family memories and allowing learning to occur. By contrast, own time encapsulates freedom from those family commitments to pursue one's own interests and to seek respite from the obligatory commitments of family life. Using data collected in face-to-face questionnaires completed with 221 New Zealand family groups, this paper seeks to explore the extent to which family time and own time experiences are differently perceived by parents accompanying their children to three family-friendly visitor attractions in Christchurch, New Zealand. In particular, the paper explores the motivations and experiences sought by fathers visiting with their child/ren at these attractions and compares these with mothers’ motivations and experiences. Findings show that fathers have differing motivations and seek different experiences than mothers at these attractions, and that these motivations vary based on whether they are attending visitor attractions as sole parents or accompanied by a co-parent.

This study explores the importance of non-economic, personal and family lifestyle goals in the establishment of rural wine tourism operations and how these lifestyle goals influence the decisions and actions of owners as they relate to seasonality management, particularly surrounding wine tourism involvement. It also explores the ways in which lifestyle-oriented operations may be deemed “problematic” at the destination level in relation to managing for tourism seasonality. The wine and tourism industries provide particularly useful contexts to explore entrepreneurial lifestyle motivations and how these play out in efforts to manage seasonality. Both the wine and tourism industries are highly seasonal, and rely on cooperation for regional initiatives to manage seasonality, through events or marketing, particularly when the businesses are small scale and located in peripheral areas. However, if the lifestyle or personal goals of some owners are at odds with the profit maximization goals of other owners, then developing a cohesive regional strategy can be a problem. The trends identified here reflect the challenges faced in many wine regions and in other rural areas that attract a diversity of business owners, including lifestyle-oriented business owners.

This study was designed to ascertain the degree to which consumers are concerned about human health and environmental issues arising from both food and wine production. In particular, this study sought, for the first time, to compare consumer perceptions regarding food production practices and wine production practices. Interviewer-administered questionnaires were completed with 109 consumers inside supermarkets, general liquor stores and specialty wine stores in the city of Christchurch, New Zealand. In general, consumers expressed a high level of concern regarding the effects of agricultural (food) production practices on both their own health and on the health of the environment. Consumers were found to be less concerned about the effects of wine production practices on their health and the environment, but a large segment reported that they did not know how wine was produced and thus had not, as yet, formed either positive or negative views about the effects of wine production practices. At a practical level, this paper suggests that wine marketers have a window of opportunity in which to positively influence the large number of consumers who currently do not hold any views regarding the effects of wine production on their health or the environment. This paper is of significant value because it provides a unique comparison of consumer views regarding food production and wine production and it has added to our knowledge of the ‘green’ consumer.
