“…The advantages of introducing photographs as part of interviews are: (a) to facilitate rapport, (b) to trigger participants' memories, and (c) to facilitate the articulation of ideas (Harper, 2002). When the photographs are gathered or produced by the researcher, the main advantages are: low cost and less time-consuming than other methods, the researcher can control which images are suitable for the research intent, is able to select good-quality photographs (Ray & Smith, 2011), and help to build rapport with the participants (Cederholm, 2004). However, disadvantages such as the researcher missing important features or overemphasizing others are a possibility (Ray & Smith, 2011).…”

In Australia, low domestic visitor participation rates in Indigenous tourism have negative effects on its sustainable development. This lax demand remains under-examined in published research. This study uses an attribution-based theory, the folk-conceptual theory of behaviour explanation, to investigate how domestic visitors describe their intentional behaviour to participate, or not, in two Indigenous tourism activities (rockart sites and a cultural centre) situated within Victoria's Grampians National Park. Studies in tourism research using attribution theory remain limited; this appears to be the first using folk-conceptual theory. It adopts a qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews and the photoelicitation method with 50 domestic visitors. Results indicate that visitors are more inclined to link "beliefs" than "desires" regarding their intention to participate in nature-based Indigenous tourism activities with connections with history, culture, and learning. However, despite Indigenous tourism being linked to a nature-based environment in the study area, "valuings", "enabling factors", and "causal history of reasons" affect participation levels. While these findings relate to previous research on motivations and barriers, participants' explanatory choices enable deeper insights into visitors' judgements that could then inform strategies to facilitate long-term sustainable Indigenous tourism growth. Understanding demand is central to Indigenous communities attaining benefits from sustainable tourism.

Innovative techniques in tourism research: an exploration of visual methods and academic filmmaking

While visual methods have long been utilised as legitimate research techniques in the social sciences, within mainstream tourism research these techniques are rarely employed. This paper thus seeks to question current research practices in tourism by focusing on academic filmmaking as an innovative visual method which can be used to approach tourism research in a new way and to create tourism knowledge which is widely accessible. Two case studies explicate these points: an ethnographic documentary about tourism impacts in Crete, and a doctoral project which explored the construction and consumption of images of Greekness by visitors to the Athenian Acropolis

“…Within the academic discipline of recreation and tourism, the use of photographs in research has been frequently utilized (see Beilin, 2005;Cahyanto et al, 2010;Caton & Santos, 2007;Cederholm, 2004;Garrod, 2008;Loeffler, 2004;Mackay & Couldwell, 2004). Recently, research has examined visitors' perceptions of destination image (Huang, 2012;MacKay & Couldwell, 2004), experiences from individual tourist perspectives (Cederholm, 2004), meanings in outdoor adventure experiences (Loeffler, 2004) and residents' sense of place (Kerstetter & Bricker, 2009;Stedman, Beckley, Wallace, & Ambard, 2004).…”

Research has largely focused on tourists' perspectives (Cahyanto et al, 2010) given the strong correlation between photography and tourism experiences (Markwell, 1997).…”

This study examines how Indonesia can responsibly develop rural tourism within the tolerance range of local people, particularly for controlling their unique landscapes. It employs reflexive photography as a tool to involve residents for rural tourism development in Sambi village. Data were collected in Sambi using reflexive photography procedures, including a photo-making process and photo-interview. Twenty-eight residents were issued a single-use camera and requested to take photographs of what they deemed important to them. Cameras were provided for a two-week period followed by individual interviews; 618 useable photos were taken. They were coded into 15 topics, and then consolidated into five themes that residents wanted to share: their way of life, environmental features, built structures, people, art and ceremony, while also protecting the cemetery and mosque from tourists. Two strategies (time and space) were utilized by the residents to negotiate what they wanted to share as well as conceal. Residents view time in terms of sacred time (residents time spent alone, family time and time for religious prayer) and impartial time (devoted to working and other daily routines). A model based on four time and space zones was formulated to understand how residents control their landscapes for tourism development.
