“…Although there is extensive research on tourist behavior in the case of a mass tourism destination, the majority of these studies are focused either on tourist motivation (Bogari, Crowther, & Marr, 2004;Correia & Crouch, 2004;Crompton, 1979;Dann, 1981;Kozak, 2002), tourist satisfaction (Akama, & Kieti, 2003;Dunn & Iso-Ahola, 1991;Fallon & Schofield, 2004;Kozak, 2001;Kozak & Rimmington, 2000;Tribe & Snaith, 1998), or on the economic, environmental, and sociocultural impacts of mass tourism to the host communities (Flognfeldt, 1999;Murphy & Williams, 1999;Stoeckl, Greiner, & Mayyocchi, 2006;Taylor, Fletcher, & Clabaugh, 1993). As a result, it is not yet well documented whether mass tourists prefer activities other than those associated with the 4S offerings (sun, sea, sand, and sex).…”

Tourists during their vacations participate in a variety of activities. These activities range from active to passive ones and they may depend on various factors, including travel arrangement and sociodemographic characteristics. The aim of this article is to provide guidelines to Cretan destination managers for supplying well diversified tourist products that could satisfy particular requirements of tourists by examining tourist vacation preferences and identifying whether certain factors can influence tourists' preferences. The findings suggest that tourists visiting Crete prefer passive activities, and that the three main factors that influence tourists' activities are nationality, age, and season of visit. Despite the limitations of the study, it is evident that various policies are required by Cretan destination managers in order to provide activities directed to satisfy tourists' demand. These policies are discussed in relation to Crete's brand identity.

“…A number of studies have identified specific issues that affect bilateral flows (Godfrey 1999;Langlois, Theodore and Ineson 1999;Murphy and Williams 1999). Culture is one such issue that has been identified by numerous researchers (Master and Prideaux 2000;Reisinger andTurner 1997, 2002;Sussmann and Rashcovsky 1997).…”

This paper examines the structure of bilateral tourism and identifies five broad categories of factors that may affect the overall size of tourism flows. Such analysis of tourism is important because diplomacy and trade continues to be conducted on a nation-to-nation basis despite a growing shift towards multilateralism in free trade blocks such as the European Union and the North American Free Trade Agreement. Further, Bilateralism is important because countries have reduced abilities to control tourism imports in an era of growing globalization. A framework that may be employed to analyze problems in bilateral tourism flows is also outlined. Keywords: bilateral framework, destination competitiveness, tourism flows. Ó 2005 Published by Elsevier Ltd.Résumé: Les facteurs ayant un effet sur les flux du tourisme bilatéral. Cet article examine la structure du tourisme bilatéral et identifie cinq grandes catégories de facteurs qui peuvent avoir des conséquences sur l'importance globale de ses flux. Une telle analyse du tourisme est importante, parce que la diplomatie et le commerce continuent à être menés entre deux nations à la fois, bien qu'il y ait actuellement une croissance de relations multilatérales avec des blocs de libre-échange tels que l'Union européenne et l'Accord de libre-échange nordaméricain. En plus, les accords bilatéraux sont importants, parce que les pays ont des possibilités réduites pour contrôler les importations de tourisme à une époque de mondialisation croissante. On expose aussi les grandes lignes d'un cadre théorique qui pourrait être utilisé pour analyser des problèmes de flux bilatéraux. Mots-clés: cadre bilatéral, compétitivité des destinations, flux de tourisme. Ó

“…According to March (2000, p. 189) 'the top eight wholesalers account for approximately 65% of the outbound market'. Murphy and Williams (1999) also note the important role played by tour operators in Japanese outbound tourism. They insist that any attempt to market rural areas to Japanese tourists must include proactive targeting of these major tour operators.…”

This research explores the strength of the potential niche market associated with the Japanese's connection to Thomas Blake Glover. The study involved research to ascertain whether there is suffi cient demand in Japan to sustain a heritage attraction or trail built up around Blake Glover in Northeast Scotland, as a means to counteract the decline of primary sector industries in the area. More specifi cally, the research set out to identify strategies to optimise the Blake Glover connection as a resource for Northeast Scotland. The research also highlights issues of signifi cance to the wider Scottish tourism product in terms of attempting to attract the Japanese market to Scotland.
