“…Authenticity may be threatened by the temptation to create yet another café, so that 'heritage may become little more than a pleasant background for shopping, browsing and eating' (Frost, 2006: 137). The case studies therefore highlight tourism as a 'double-edged sword' vis-à-vis liveability -it has the potential to revitalise and regenerate communities but may also contribute to a sense of isolation, loss of authenticity, and community discontent (van der Duim & Caalders, 2004). Whether an organic bottom-up process or a top-down strategy is pursued, these case studies suggest that some element of community engagement and participation in tourism planning and development might be important to give local residents a voice and to foster a sense of ownership over the future of their communities.…”

Tourism as a Vehicle for Liveable Communities: Case studies from regional Victoria, Australia

tourism can enhance the overall wellbeing of local communities, making them a more desirable place to reside and work in, while a liveable city that is characterised by a vibrant atmosphere and quality of life can be a powerful source of tourism appeal. this paper explores the concept of liveability and its relationship to tourism and community development, drawing on case studies of two heritage communities in Victoria, australia. the more organic, grassroots process in beechworth is compared and contrasted with an explicit top-down strategic approach in bendigo. liveability is shown to be a complex mosaic of tangible elements that are related to infrastructure, services, and facilities, and intangible elements such as ambience and lifestyle, in which the history and heritage of a community play an important role. overall, liveability may be a key conduit between tourism and general economic and social wellbeing as well as a potential marketing tool and a source of competitiveness for regional communities.

“…The gradual loss of control over nearby resources used by events (Dobeson, 2021) can cause the local actors to change their responses, making outward acceptance more challenging. Similar to tourism (van der Duim and Caalders, 2004), sustainability requires inclusion of informal actions and practices in planning and strategies to create liveability, and requires consideration of who eventually benefits from utilisation of these resources in the long term.…”

“…The analysis followed a three-phase coding process (Saldaña, 2016), starting with pattern codes, followed by provisional codes and then fixed themes. The analysis was done abductively, allowing for a back-and-forth dialogue between theory and the data, and sense-making to confirm the theory and produce plausible results (Kolko, 2010;Thomas, 2010;Timmermans and Tavory, 2022).…”

“…Firstly, several informants engage in maintaining trails outside the event structure. Informal actions can occur when actors are dissatisfied with tourism and the surrounding area (van der Duim and Caalders, 2004). While local actors favour the organiser's maintenance and construction of new infrastructure that benefits them, their informal initiatives go beyond the organiser and local authority's control.…”

“…Visitors’ desires for new experiences constantly interact with the host and the surroundings, bringing issues to the surface (Selstad, 2007). This is exemplified by the Dutch island of Texel, where tourism altered everyday life for local actors in terms of avoiding crowded places, traffic, barriers to other types of development and perceived deterioration of nature-based values (van der Duim and Caalders, 2004). The local actors found informal solutions to problems without undermining the consensus.…”

‘If they touch our cloudberries, that means war’: Rural liveability and acceptance of environmental impacts from event tourism

Through the lens of liveability and Buen Vivir, I explore how local actors form their acceptance of the physical impact on nature caused by a trail marathon in north-central Sweden, particularly given trail and soil erosion. With a qualitative multi-method research approach, the findings reveal that the local actors minimise the impacts by getting involved in various activities both inside and outside the event. Different knowledge and practices foster sustainability and create acceptance. While the growth of tourism creates unease and feelings of inadequate control, this event is seen as a distinct phenomenon. I show that liveability goes beyond perception and requires integration of the local environment into local practices. Current acceptance may however be eroded if more or larger events occur in the future. Policies and planning must therefore acknowledge and incorporate these local practices to create sustainability.

h i g h l i g h t sForesight brings together key agents of change in order to develop future visions. Mass demand will experience a growing environmental consciousness. Tourism value chain will no longer be driven by demand, but by motivational centers. Airports will become more efficient, engaging and environmentally responsible. This method is user-friendly for decision makers and manageable for technicians. a r t i c l e i n f o b s t r a c tForesight tools have been less used than forecasting methods by tourism planners because they seem to provide little added value to the planning process. To overcome this biased perception, this paper shows the potential of foresight for dealing with tourism development issues burdened by complexity and uncertainty, as well as its capability to bring down analysis from global challenges to local and spatial implications. A model framework is presented to incorporate foresight studies into the process of planning and designing tourist destinations. The model facilitates a gradual transition from a narrative vision to the spatial design of a future destination. Stakeholders play a very important role in the proposed model, being involved throughout the process in identifying future trends, formulating visions and helping to design urban patterns. In order to facilitate stakeholders' involvement, various analytical and design tools are used to envision the future development of tourist destinations.
