Professionalism in mountain tourism and the claims to professional status of the International Mountain Leader

Abstract: Mountain Guides and International Mountain Leaders (IMLs) have achieved cross-border recognition of their professional awards. This allows them to work internationally and provides a rare example of an established, state-sanctioned and respected professional group operating within the tourism industry.

“…As adventure sports continue to grow in popularity, creating what has been termed 'hard adventure' tourism (Beedie, 2003;Beedie & Hudson, 2003), UK government policy has focused on the use of the outdoors as a medium to promote health and wellbeing (Sport England, 2015). It has been reported that 48% of the UK population participate in adventure sport at least once a year (Cousquer & Beames, 2013;Taylor & Garratt, 2010). Among these activities and sports, and thus forming the focus of this paper, is mountaineering.…”

“…Certainly, judgment and decision making has long been acknowledged as a critical component for successful mountaineering and its leadership. For example, Cousquer and Beames (2013) highlight judgment as a crucial aspect in the professional practice of International Federation of Mountain Guides (IFMG) and International Mountain Leaders (IML). Specifically, from the participant(s) perspective, it is identified that the led participants are passengers in the adventure, experiencing a perception of risk without the skills to manage the real risk independently presented by a hazard (Loynes, 1996, Brown, 2000.…”

“…Avrupa dillerinde Latin kökenli oldukça uzun bir geçmişe sahip 'profesyonel' kelimesinin İngilizce'deki en eski kullanımı; bir beyan, doğrulama ya da amaç anlamına gelmektedir (Freidson, 1986). Oysa bu kelime günümüzde, bir uzmanlık alanına mensup ve belirli özellikleri paylaşan bireyleri ifade etmektedir (Cousquer ve Beames, 2013). "Profesyonel olmak", bir değerler setini içselleştirmek, onlara bağlı kalmak ve o standartlara göre davranmaktır (Pandya, 2011).…”

“…Uygulamalı ve betimsel nitelikteki bu araştırma ile değişkenler arası ilişki incelenmiş olup ulusal ve uluslararası literatürde profesyonelleşme ve iletişim becerileri ilişkisini irdeleyen çalışma sayısı çok sınırlıdır. Yabancı literatürde yapılan inceleme sonucunda; profesyonellik (Hall, 1968;Larson, 1979;Evetts, 2014), iletişim becerileri (Jacobson, 2009), tıpta profesyonellik (Toren, 1976;Rhodes, 1985;Klemenc-Ketis ve Vrecko, 2014), öğretmenlerde profesyonellik (Holliman, 2012), turizm sektöründe profesyonellik (Sheldon, 1989;Ap ve Wong, 2001;Hussey vd., 2011;Cockburn-Wootten, 2012;Jamnia, 2012;Cousquer ve Beames, 2013;Kaufman ve Ricci, 2014;Thomas ve Thomas, 2014;Cheng ve Wong, 2015;Alani vd., 2017), turizm sektöründe iletişim becerileri (Mihut, 2010;Hosseyni, 2012;Alshatnawi, 2014) konularını odağa alan çalışmalar olduğu görülmüştür. Öte yandan, profesyonellik ve iletişim becerileri ilişkisini, kavramsal olarak (Atre vd., 2013) ve tıpta (Meng vd., 2009;Pandya, 2011;Shahini vd., 2012;Abadel ve Hattab, 2014;Fontes vd., 2014;Mitchell vd., 2017) ele alan az sayıda çalışma ile birlikte, turizm sektöründe sadece Blue ve Harun (2003)'un çalışmasına rastlanmıştır.…”
