“…For the majority of respondents cruise tourism simply represents a new form of tourism in what is already an established destination (see, e.g., Prideaux, 2000). Some, however, questioned whether cruise tourism was the best type of tourism for Akaroa, particularly as the large influx of people on cruise ship days often coincided with traditional busy visitor periods; also cruise tourism did not benefit the established tourism sector equally (e.g., accommodation providers do not benefit).…”

This article reports on a study of community attitudes to cruise tourism in Akaroa, New Zealand. An important dimension of this study is the significant rate of growth in cruise arrivals over a short period of time as the result of the 2010/11 Canterbury earthquakes. Data were collected via a postal survey of the Akaroa community, and yielded a response rate of 56.6% (n = 316). The results indicate that despite the recent growth in arrivals, the Akaroa community holds a largely favorable opinion of cruise tourism. Importantly, the impacts identified by respondents were more closely aligned to threats to their identity as a destination, rather than problems with tourism, per se.

“…In his "Tourist-Area Life Cycle" (TALC) model of the evolution of tourism development, Butler (1980) introduces the notion of "carrying capacity", proposing that at any tourist destination there is a "limit" to tourist numbers, beyond which they are a detriment to the future viability of the area as a tourist attraction. Many of the criticisms of Butler"s model have questioned the interpretation of carrying capacity (Haywood, 1986;Prideaux, 2000) and the fact that it is limited to the destination area. Carrying capacity, in the context of tourism in general, refers to the ability of a site or region to absorb tourism use without deteriorating .…”

Tourism is an authoritative branch in the socio-economic expansion in present-day epochs, backing diverse ways and reinforces the inter-connected processes. The development of tourism prompts changes, directly or indirectly in the social atmosphere of a destination. Changes in the social and economic fabric of particular towns, regions and even countries can be attributed directly to the advent of tourism and tourists. In light of these aspects, the social carrying capacity approaches involve using attitudes and tolerance levels of the host population to set limits on tourism development. This paper is a theoretical approach that throws light to the sociological perception of tourism with respect to carrying capacity thereby integrating the contemplations and criticisms regarding this subject. Keywords: IntroductionRestrained as a drive chastised social activity, tourism, is a substantial constituent in the economy of several countries. As a vivacious and escalating comprehensive industry, tourism plays a

“…Arguably destinations may evolve through a series of cycles, with the life of the destination portrayed by the cumulative adding together of each cycle. Departing from this, Prideaux (2000Prideaux ( , 2004 proposes a resort development spectrum to indicate that destinations have multiple development cycles as they evolve from serving a local market to serving regional, national and different international markets.…”

This article addresses the dynamics of the evolution of a nature-based destination in China. Based on longitudinal studies in Zhangjiajie in Hunan Province, it focuses on the roles of institutions in tourism development in China, demonstrating the centrality of institutions and governments in fostering destination development through policy orientations, attracting investments, and regulations in their capacity as producers, protectors, and promoters of desired processes of change. It describes a five-stage development process from Exploration, through Starting, and then via Fluctuation and Acceleration to the current stage of Transition leading towards a destination seeking better service quality. The study, by incorporating institutions as a driving force, develops a RICI model (Resource, Institution, Capital and Innovation) to account for destination development in China. The paper especially notes the role of inter-institution rivalries, and the impact of those rivalries on sustainable development. It is suggested that the proposed model could be empirically verified and tested in other cultural or regional destination development contexts.
