“…The NGT is a systematic technique for idea generation, identification of key objectives (Jurowski, 2001) and consensus building (Ritchie, 1985;Simmons, 1994;Spencer, 2010). Originally developed by Delbecq et al (1975), the technique was first used in tourism by Ritchie (1985).…”

“…Originally developed by Delbecq et al (1975), the technique was first used in tourism by Ritchie (1985). More recently, the procedure has been utilized in several other studies (Churugsa et al, 2007;Formica and Kothari, 2008;Paraskevas, 2013;Spencer, 2010). The NGT involves a six-step process that encompasses 1) idea generation by individual participants concerning a proposed question, 2) recording of all the ideas, 3) clarification of meanings, 4) ranking of items by individuals according to their importance, 5) preliminary voting, and 6) final voting on ideas and consensus building by all workshop attendees.…”

“…Therefore, NGT allows individual and group working at two subsequent stages, which conclude with a list of priorities [124,125]. Even if there are some examples of implementation of the NGT tool in the tourism sector [126][127][128], to the authors' knowledge a lack in its application when considering the inner mountain area still exists.…”

Tourism Development in Inner Mountain Areas—The Local Stakeholders’ Point of View through a Mixed Method Approach

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Tourism in inner areas, especially in the mountains, is a complex phenomenon due to the different tourist’s needs and to the specific local features that vary considerably from one destination to another. Consequently, a unique tourism development strategy cannot be defined and adopted anywhere. When considering tourism-based territorial development in mountain areas, it is crucial to take the vision of local stakeholders into consideration. To drive different and/or unexpressed opinions towards shared tools, this study analyses the local stakeholder’s point of view using a mixed method consisting of a Delphi method followed by a Group Nominal Technique. The research was performed in Soana Valley, a small mountain community in the Northwestern Italian Alps. It involved 17 local stakeholders divided into three main groups—local administrators (n = 3), hospitality operators (9) and retailers (5). Results show how operators converge on three common aspects—local food product offering, territorial promotion and collaboration among operators, on which the community should focus to build a territorial integrated tourism offering.

“…In the United States, the focus of Indigenous tourism research grew considerably over this period with a concentration of papers focusing on Indigenous participation in ecotourism development (Cusack & Dixon, 2006;Garcia-Frapolli, Toledo, & Martinez-Alier, 2008;Hearne & Tuscherer, 2008;Ramos & Prideaux, 2014;Wilken-Robertson, 2006), gaming (Piner & Paradis, 2010), policy, planning and development (Barkin & Bouchez, 2002;Greathouse-Amador, 2005a, 2005bSpencer, 2010;Whitford, 2008;Zorn & Farthing, 2007), land-use management (Kent, 2006;McAvoy, 2002), economic and socio-cultural impacts (Cohen, 2001;Henshall & Momsen, 2002;Ingles, 2001;Ju arez, 2002;Nesper, 2003;Phipps, 2010;Snow & Wheeler, 2000;Wu, Wall, & Tsou, 2014), identity, ethnicity and indigeneity (Picard, Pocock, & Trigger, 2014;Stronza, 2008;van den Berghe & Ochoa, 2000) and authenticity and commodification (Brulotte, 2009;Coronado, 2004). This expanding literature appears to reflect the increase in activity that was being undertaken at the time in relation to the facilitation of socio-economic development for Native Americans (see The Harvard Project, 2008;Henry & Hood, 2012).…”

Indigenous tourism is a global phenomenon, encompassing a range of complex, multi-layered issues. The foci of Indigenous tourism research are multifaceted, reflecting a plethora of stakeholders with differing perspectives and values about the direction, development and sustainability of the sector. The academic literature consistently highlights the need for a more comprehensive understanding of Indigenous tourism and, specifically, one that takes into account the interests and values of its stakeholders. This paper provides a global overview of Indigenous tourism development and its international and national institutional links, concomitantly identifying and examining the trajectory of scholarly interest in Indigenous tourism from 1980 to 2014. An analysis of 403 published journal articles is supplemented with the perspectives of Indigenous tourism researchers. The results reveal that sustainability issues underpin and shape a substantive proportion of published Indigenous tourism research to date. The challenge now is to gain a more comprehensive understanding of Indigenous tourism from the perspective of Indigenous stakeholders, approaching its complexity in an iterative, adaptive and flexible style, and with affected stakeholders involved in the research process, knowledge creation and its outcomes. This is both an ethical imperative and a pragmatic approach to ensure the outcomes of research facilitate the sustainability of Indigenous tourism.
