Le tourisme responsable au Sud de la Méditerranée : revue de la littérature et pistes de recherche

The concept of rural tourism encompasses many forms of tourism, such as nature-based tourism, community-based tourism, ecotourism, agro-tourism, and many more. Scholars consider tourism an important tool for revenue generation for communities living in rural areas. However, ineffective planning and management of the tourism industry may lead to undesired results in rural destinations, sometimes negatively affecting their rich natural and cultural heritage. In Lebanon, the last decade witnessed an increase of the rural tourism share within the tourism industry. Until today, there are no scientific studies of the supply and demand for this sector in Lebanon. This survey aims to analyze the demand for rural tourism among the domestic market hoping to provide information for actors in the field. The data showcase evidences about the needs, preferences and expectations of potential urban travelers, and factors affecting them. Data collection was completed in May 2014 with a sample of 436 persons, mostly Lebanese urban inhabitants, during the Travel Lebanon exhibition dedicated to promote rural tourism in Lebanon. The statistical analysis revealed important information about the perception and behavior of potential visitors. Personal characteristics, especially respondents' personal income and cultural background, have been identified as major factors that affect their decision-making process regarding tourism services and facilities. Results also revealed a lack of awareness by the surveyed respondents about critical sustainable tourism issues in rural areas, and a visitor perception that is somewhat different from what is actually being provided by tourism stakeholders in rural areas.

Cet article traite de la communication touristique telle que définie par Frustier et Voisin (2004). Elle est liée à une mise en scène des territoires composant avec plus ou moins de réussite l’image, l’imagerie et l’imaginaire (Amirou et al., 2011). Afin de permettre un processus de transmission patrimoniale, il nous semble nécessaire de mieux prendre en compte le concept du temps. L’Association de Sauvegarde de la Médina de Tunis (ASM) est un acteur permettant d’étudier la manière dont se fait la transmission patrimoniale aujourd’hui. Nous mettons en avant deux thématiques. La première présente la valorisation des activités traditionnelles artisanales. La seconde concoure à la construction d’un « patrimoine vivant ».
