Simulating the Saturation Threshold of a Water Environment＇s Response to Tourist Activities：A Case Study in the Liupan Mountain Eco-tourism Area     

ZHAO Mei-feng  XI Jian-chao  LIU Sheng-he 《山地科学学报》2014,11(1):156-166

The effect of tourism on water environments has received a high degree of interest in the study of eco-tourism.Based on the analysis of the relationship between tourist activities and the water environment in the Liupan Mountain eco-tourism zone,the case study area,a Water Environment of Tourism Area Model（WETAM） is built to simulate the temporal and spatial changes in water quality and the response saturation thresholds under four sewage treatment scenarios.The results imply the following：（1） WETAM performs well in modeling a water environment to represent the dynamic process of water quality change in response to tourist activities.（2） Under four sewage treatment scenarios（fundamental,low,medium,and high）,the threshold shows an obvious uptrend.（3） The response threshold of water quality with respect to the interference of tourist activities fluctuates seasonally due to changes in tourist density.（4） The thresholds differ significantly among five tourism functional areas.According to the response saturation threshold of the water environment,effective control based on the scale and intensity of tourist activities is important for a successful transformation of this tourism destination＇s development strategies.Therefore,the integrated management of water pollution in tourism areas plays a crucial role in sustainable tourism development.  相似文献   

Geographic limits to global labor market flexibility: The human resources paradox of the cruise industry   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

William C. Terry 《Geoforum》2011,42(6):660-670

The cruise industry enjoys arguably the most flexible and globalized of all labor markets. Yet, in an apparent paradox, cruise lines face a potential labor shortage, despite the fact that the bulk of their labor is sourced from the Global South where a large labor surplus would seemingly make recruitment a simple process. This paper examines this paradox in greater detail with a focus on the tension that exists between the industry’s demand for a flexible labor force, and the need for workers who maintain the skills required of a cruise ship job. It is argued that the contemporary geography of global labor recruitment is constrained by the particular political, economic and cultural circumstances of individual source countries that make certain cohorts less attractive or available as a workforce. In practice the need for skill and flexibility are not always reconcilable and cruise lines have found that there is a geographic limit to labor market flexibility. The article is based on interviews with various stakeholders involved in either working on cruise ships or in recruiting workers. Special emphasis is placed on Filipino cruise ship workers and labor recruiters as a means to discuss labor recruitment for the entire industry.  相似文献   

Perceived deficiencies in the provision of climate and weather information for tourism: A New Zealand media analysis     

Jude Wilson  Susanne Becken 《New Zealand geographer》2011,67(3):148-160

Climate and weather are important for tourism and leisure as they impact on destination attractiveness and subsequent visitation. Through an archive analysis of media articles and a content analysis of Regional Tourism Organisation (RTO) websites, this paper explores perceived deficiencies in the currently available climate and weather information for tourists in New Zealand. While media reports focused on concern by many RTOs over the poor regional images generated by inaccurate and poorly presented climate and weather data, the RTO websites were found to contain limited climate and weather information. There is considerable potential for RTOs to improve in this respect.  相似文献

随着海洋旅游时代的到来,我国迎来了海洋旅游发展的良好契机,海洋型旅游城市作为重要的旅游目的地类型之一,其旅游竞争力近年来受到各界关注。文章从海洋型旅游城市特征出发,建立海洋型城市旅游竞争力评价指标体系,进而将海洋型城市旅游竞争力分为旅游资源竞争力、旅游基础设施竞争力、旅游行业竞争力以及旅游环境支持竞争力四大部分。进一步基于因子分析法和聚类分析法对我国51个海洋旅游城市的旅游竞争力进行实证分析,得出城市旅游竞争力得分排名。最后根据分析结果,从旅游资源、旅游基础设施、旅游产业、旅游环境支撑、整体旅游等方面提出我国海洋型城市旅游竞争力的提升路径,为促进我国海洋型旅游城市整体竞争力的提升提出指导建议。  相似文献   

Using remote sensing and GIS to investigate the impacts of tourism on forest cover in the Annapurna Conservation Area,Nepal     

《Applied geography (Sevenoaks, England)》2013

Tourism is Nepal's largest industry, giving people in rural areas an alternative to subsistence farming. Tourism can have an impact on the forest cover of a region as trees provide firewood for cooking and heating and timber for building accommodation. In 1986 the Annapurna Conservation Area Project was established to ensure that tourism was managed more sustainably, which includes minimising its impact on the forest cover. This study assesses the impacts of tourism on the forest cover in the Annapurna region by comparing Landsat images from 1999 to 2011. This was achieved through spectral classification of different land cover and by assessing the change in forest cover in relation to increasing distances from tourism villages. A major problem with remote sensing in mountainous regions such as Nepal is shadow caused by the relief. This issue was addressed by only assessing areas which were free from shadow, which in effect meant a sample was used rather than the whole study region. The results indicate that there has been an 8 percent reduction in overall forest extent, but this change varies by region. In the northern, drier regions there has been a net increase in forest cover, while in the southern regions there has been a net reduction in forests. The influence of tourism facilities on forest is also variable. Around each of the tourism villages sampled there was a general trend of forest removal decreasing as the distance from each village increased, which indicates tourism does have a negative impact on forests. However, there was an opposite trend in the northern villages that were well inside the conservation area.  相似文献
