Underpinned by sustainable livelihood thinking, this study investigated community stakeholders' perspectives on the impacts of tourism on food security in two rural tourism destinations: Debarq and Meket in Ethiopia. Semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions were conducted with a range of stakeholders to solicit their perspectives, revealing the complexity of the tourism and food security relationship. Although tourism had brought about some small changes to food availability, access and utilisation, there were limitations around its contribution to food stability. This was primarily due to the nature of tourism employment and lack of linkages between tourism and local agriculture. Tourism was not strong enough nor properly integrated with existing livelihoods to support the local communities' food security, generally only offering a minor contribution. This research highlights the challenges for tourism to contribute to local communities' food security, offering policy-relevant guidance for addressing the food security challenges of tourism destinations.

In cases of donor-funded community-based tourism (CBT) initiatives, sustainability indicators are often developed and used by donors or NGOs for progress reporting purposes, and the voice of the local community is often ignored. In cases where bottom-up participatory approaches have been employed, local communities may be involved in the process of indicator development as participants but are usually not given the opportunity to operate the indicator system independently. This study describes a methodological procedure for developing and implementing a local community-operated grassroots level CBT sustainability indicator system in Boga Lake, Bangladesh. The sixteen-step methodological process to formulate CBT sustainability indicators involved in-depth interviews, workshops, working group meetings, and an empirical examination of the indicator system in practice. The local community were able to form a community research team, develop survey questionnaires and observation checklists, collect and analyse data, and write a report. The community believed that their research-based sustainability reports could serve as strong evidence to negotiate with local authorities and other stakeholders, while also helping them learn and adapt their tourism-related initiatives. Further, there is evidence the community considered it as a matter of pride to operate their own indicator system.

This study conceptualizes labour mobility in the tourism and hospitality industry within the context of a developing country. Previous conceptualizations of labour mobility in the tourism and hospitality industry are unable to adequately represent specific economic and socio-cultural settings that may shape the mobility of tourism and hospitality labour in non-western developing countries. Interview data for the study on which this paper is based were collected from Kathmandu, Nepal in two phases in 2015/2016 and 2019, and analyzed using a constructivist grounded theory approach. The study identifies a pervasive phenomenon of ‘necessity-induced (im)mobility’ that either discourages or encourages mobility among tourism and hospitality workers. Several factors highlighted by this study show that the way mobility is perceived and executed by tourism and hospitality workers in developing counties, such as Nepal, is in stark contrast to how it is perceived in western and developed nations. This study has also identified several issues that may have implications for the sustainable supply of qualified labour (with higher education qualifications and skills) in the tourism and hospitality industry, particularly in developing countries.

Tourism is acknowledged as a tool through which communities can achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with non-governmental organisations (NGOs) highlighted as important development partners in this regard. This paper examines the role of NGOs in tourism-related poverty alleviation in the context of a rural Indigenous community in Bangladesh. Drawing on critical theory, a qualitative case study approach employed multiple methods including semi-structured interviews, focus group discussion and observation to analyse the NGO-tourism-Indigenous poverty nexus. Findings revealed that the sustainability of NGO project outcomes was affected by several issues, including: a limited community voice; community dependency upon NGOs; and the threat of community displacement. NGO interventions created some economic opportunities through facilitating the community’s tourism involvement, for example through the provision of microcredit and training. However, multiple stakeholders’ involvement and diverse goals complicated the enactment of an effective partnership (SDG17) for the community’s poverty alleviation (SDG1). The study concludes that NGOs need to go beyond service delivery and adopt an advocacy role in order to address some of the underlying structural inequities faced by such communities. This would enable NGOs, government agencies and communities to work together to better capitalise on tourism’s potential for Indigenous poverty alleviation.

With growing numbers of tourist-angler arrivals globally it is increasingly important to understand how factors such as licence price may impact anglers’ destination choice, and how this may differ among different source markets. Little research has focused on the impacts of discriminatory licencing systems where non-resident anglers are charged a higher fee than resident anglers. This study reports on a survey of 749 non-resident anglers in New Zealand, and explores how they have reacted to the recent introduction of a non-resident surcharge. We investigate perceived licence value within a discriminatory pricing regime, exploring behavioural and socio-demographic variables, and underlying beliefs that influence this. Findings suggest that changes to the licence fee can have some effect on angler perceptions of value and intentions to revisit. Importantly, angler reactions are not uniform, varying according to origin and angler profile. We explore and discuss the possible management implications of this heterogeneity for the application of discriminatory pricing in angling tourism.

We explored how academic departments, university teachers and students in one research-led university in New Zealand identified and addressed challenges in achieving three particular graduate attributes. These attributes (global perspective, environmental literacy and those aspect of ethics that involve personal social responsibility) are distinctive in that they may encompass values, attitudes and future behaviours, in addition to knowledge and skills. We documented formal processes in each participating department; interviewed university teachers to understand how they conceptualised these attributes and the processes of teaching them; explored student perspectives via individual and group interviews and written responses to verbal questions in groups; held project-based and departmental discussions to help us understand how the diversity of perspectives and processes extant in this institution were understood; and developed resources to explore and support future academic engagement with the issues that have arisen in this research. We discuss a potential mismatch between what this institution’s strategic documentation aspires to and how departments and their teachers are managing these expectations, and we link this concern to the academic discourse on roles, responsibilities and capabilities of higher education. Our research has implications for all higher education institutions that express their aspirations or intentions for the values that their students will learn and we propose a research agenda to address our concerns.

Stakeholder collaboration has become a critical issue in sustainable tourism policy due to the increasing complexity and interdisciplinary nature of the domain. Policymaking should reflect tourism values through a dynamic system in which stakeholders come to a consensus on sustainability issues via ongoing interactive engagement. Taking Singapore’s hotel sector as a case, this study explores how stakeholder relationships contribute to participatory policymaking on sustainable water management. Based on a survey of 33 relevant organisations, this research applies network analysis to investigate stakeholder collaboration within this policy domain. While the policymaking process is derived from a complex web of actors and their formal and informal interactions, the national water agency of Singapore and some private businesses were found to be centrally located in the policy network. The aforementioned government body is also perceived to hold the greatest legitimacy, power, and urgency over others in the policy domain. Central stakeholders were found to play an important “bridging” role in terms of the interconnectedness of policy actors across boundaries of the public, private, and third sectors. These prominent political and industry players were also likely to exert control over the policymaking process and access to important resources based on their favourable network positions.

The debate over ‘medical tourism’ versus ‘travel for medical treatment’ largely centres on the role of the voluntary leisure or touristic component. This study provides empirical evidence regarding the nature of leisure tourism occurring during medical travel, drawing on interviews with individuals who have returned from travel overseas for medical treatment. We identify four influences: the medical procedure; personal factors (e.g. travel experience, resilience, accompanying companions); destination factors; and financial matters. The most significant of these is the nature of the medical procedure, its level of invasiveness and requirements for post treatment recovery, and whether or not the patient-traveller suffered any complications. The ‘hotel-isation’ of hospitals (‘hospitels’) contributes to participants' perceptions of this type of travel being touristic in nature, even if no other conventional touristic activities are engaged in. We also observe similarities between medical tourism and business travel, both being hybrid forms of tourism, with variable leisure components.

Commitment to nature-based recreation is important for health outcomes, to support the conservation of the natural environment, and for economic reasons. Committed participants are likely to continue to support the activity with their subscriptions and memberships, and to make other activity-related purchases. However, the relationship between the psychological and behavioural components of commitment remains contested. This research investigates the commitment-behaviour link to help us understand some of the outcomes of nature-based recreation. The study used a modified version of the Sport Commitment Model (SCM) to measure the psychological commitment of 1024 nature-based recreationists active in freshwater angling, mountaineering, hunting or tramping. We examined the relationship between their psychological and behavioural commitment, measuring this through the frequency of participation and activity-related expenditure. Findings suggest a positive relationship for both, although surprisingly stronger for purchase than participation. However, we also identified a confounding effect of income, with activity-related expenditure being related to both psychological commitment and income.

The tourism-food security relationship is one of the most critical yet overlooked areas of sustainable tourism development policy, particularly for developing countries. With a view to casting light on the tourism-food security relationship, this paper presents an analysis of Ethiopia’s tourism development, with a focus on tourism policies and strategies that are linked to food security. The paper reveals that while eradicating pervasive food insecurity is a priority development concern of Ethiopia, existing tourism policy does not directly reference food security concerns. Rather, employment, income and poverty reduction are the foci of tourism policy and can be considered as, at best, implicit policy pathways to food security. The paper argues that for more effective food security, the tourism sector needs to be guided by policy prescription and instruments that mainstream food security concerns into practice.

The participation of local communities in benefits sharing is a prerequisite for the long-term sustainability of World Heritage Sites (WHS). However, the rhetoric surrounding this assumption in many contexts may outweigh the empirical evidence for the role of WHS in improving the wellbeing and livelihoods of communities. Drawing insights from the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA), a WHS in Tanzania this study examines the Maasai indigenous community's perspectives on the impact of the WHS on their livelihoods. Data from local Maasai and traditional leaders residing at the NCA were collected through semi structured interviews. While a small number of community members acknowledge the significant opportunities through tourism which have supplemented their declining pastoralist incomes, the majority of participants highlighted the burdens that arise from the area's WHS status and its associated tourism development. These include restrictions to access to land resources; undermining livelihoods; unsatisfactory involvement in decision making and in benefits sharing; threat of relocation; and negative attitudes towards conservation principles. Collectively these factors contribute to a low level of appreciation of the WHS among Maasai residents of Ngorongoro. This study indicates that community participation in decision making and in benefits sharing is critical for World Heritage Sites to be deemed successful by local communities.

It has been suggested that the food insecurity situation prevalent in many parts of the developing world could be alleviated through the creation of tourism-based alternative livelihoods. However, while tourism has been framed as a tool for poverty reduction and livelihood improvement, less attention has been paid to the direct tourism food security link. It is the intention of this article to bring tourism and food security together thereby providing a conceptual discussion for addressing the tourism-food security nexus. A model is deductively developed through review of relevant previous studies linking tourism and its relationship with development, poverty, food security, livelihoods and sustainability. The discussion examines the drivers of these relationships through drawing together extant research relating to tourism, and other livelihood activities and sectors. By doing so, the discussion highlights the key concerns for tourism to work effectively in relation to food security. The importance of sectoral and policy integration in terms of ensuring beneficial relationships across sectors is emphasized. It is concluded that understanding the tourism-food security linkage is crucial for combating poverty in general, and food insecurity specifically.

This study explores the institutional forces behind the uptake of corporate social responsibility in the Tanzanian tourism industry. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with 40 managers of tourism businesses. We identify six main motivations for businesses’ engaging in corporate social responsibility: maintaining social legitimacy; influence of the parent company; meeting community expectations; attracting tourists; caring for the environment; and the personal values of managers. Barriers to engagement with responsible practices include conflict with local communities over resource use and a tax and regulatory regime that hinders the growth of tourism businesses. Using institutional theory as our analytical framework, the paper indicates that understanding embedded local institutional conditions is critical not only in shaping the uptake of responsible tourism practices but also in enhancing businesses legitimacy and social license to operate.

This paper reports on research undertaken in the tourism sector in Tanzania, the goals of which were to document and interpret corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices within an African setting, and to explore the ways in which foreign and local tourism businesses employ responsible practices. Qualitative interviews with 40 tourism company (guiding and accommodation) managers were thematically analysed, and considered along with a data from a content analysis of the companies’ homepages to examine CSR practices. The findings suggest that most tourism businesses are not only familiar with what constitutes a responsible business but are undertaking some sort of responsible business initiatives. According to tourism managers a responsible business is defined not only by its activities/actions but its values/virtues of integrity, benevolence, communalism, humanity and transparency. However, foreign owned companies differed from local companies in the focus of their CSR initiatives, primarily addressing environmental concerns and working conditions of employees, while community initiatives and education were the main foci of locally owned companies. The study contributes to our understanding of CSR in tourism in developing countries, particularly in terms of how CSR is conceptualized, what factors underlie engagement with CSR, and how it is practiced.

Hollinshead’s definition of ‘worldmaking’ highlights the complex processes involved in the projection of places, processes that are affected variously by the existence of dominant and counter projections. New Zealand’s ‘100% Pure’ reputation is largely built upon the questionable and often contested merits of its natural environment – the clean and green. For visiting angling tourists, ‘worldmaking’ projections of the angling experience promise solitude, pristine waterways and wild surrounds. Our research used a mixed methods approach and investigated the narrated experiences of angling tourists in New Zealand – a highly specialised and environmentally engaged niche market – against the backdrop of ‘worldmaking’. In attempting to ‘demystify’ worldmaking in this way our research makes an important conceptual contribution to the topic by highlighting the complexities involved in creating and/or maintaining dominant and counter projections. The findings demonstrated that a positive link does exist between touristic projections and anglers’ lived experiences. There are, though, clear indications that environmental concerns, that have been championed in counter projections, are undermining the integrity of New Zealand’s 100% Pure imaginary and, specifically, notions of ‘clean and green’. It is a problem that could, if angling tourists are a barometer, lead to wider ramifications regarding destination attractiveness and visitor loyalty.
