“…In their collection of papers cross-examining the performative aspects of Pacific island culture and the links to tourism, Taylor and Alexeyeff (2016, p. 4) argue that the "very notion of tourism can be seen to act as a powerful ideological category or trope" and that "through their reparation such tropes become endlessly sedimented as 'self evident' essence." This more or less suggests that through tourism and the recruitment of culture as a device for promotion and monetization, tourism development in the region is inescapably linked to cultures, both traditional and hybrid, and fundamental to destination development (Cheer, Reeves, & Laing, 2013;MacCarthy, 2016). Yet as the growth in tourism continues, and with it growing pressure to monetize the performative aspects of islander culture, the extent to which this is allowed to continue is increasingly moderated by concerns over the sanctity of culture, and the tensions concerning ownership and conferral of benefits, and whether any of this has led to enduring improvements to basic needs (Cheer & Peel, 2011;Tabani, 2017).…”

Within the extensive body of tourism literature, successful implication of sustainable tourism and obstacles to its practices in the developing world are emerging themes. This paper critically investigates challenges to sustainable tourism in the world heritage sites with special references to Kandy situated in Central Province of Sri Lanka. Through adopting a qualitative research method, a key issue for discussion in this paper is challenge to sustainable tourism in Kandy. Consequently, this paper provides an insight into sustainable tourism and suggests the ways by which these insights may be useful in the provision of sustainable tourism in other ancient heritage localities.

“…Rural tourism actually is the incorporation of agriculture and tourism and it has inevitable relation with rural land (Cheer et al, 2013;Kytzia et al, 2011;Maguigad, 2013). Obviously, the expansion of rural tourism has incurred huge demands in recreational land use and changes in the traditional land-use pattern.…”

Rural tourism has become an important driving force of rural urbanization in China. As the main reception base and important tourism attraction, tourism village is the core element of the tourism destination system. Integrating the method of PRA (Participatory Rural Assessment), GIS technology and high-resolution remote sensing images, this study aims to analyze the spatial morphology evolution of rural settlements induced by tourism through a comparative study of three tourism villages in Yesanpo tourism area. The results suggest the emergence of a "core-periphery" pattern of the spatial evolution of rural settlements. The closer to the core scenic spot, the higher degree of land-use intensity the village shows, as well as the more mature tourism function and greater change in landscape pattern. In particular, Gougezhuang shows an increase of the floor area ratio from 0.17 to 0.44, with the most mature tourism function and the lowest authenticity index of 0.448. Liujiahe has gone through the largest increase in construction land area from 17.3564 ha to 34.1128 ha, with moderately mature tourism function and relatively stable authenticity index of 0.566. Shangzhuang has the lowest construction land scale and intensity, with the poorest tourism function and most well-preserved landscape authenticity index of 0.942. Overall, in terms of the spatial morphology, the three villages show the characteristics of "modern town", "semi-urbanization" and "traditional village" respectively, in corresponding to three land development types: "intensive reconstruction type", "enclave extension type" and "in situ utilization type". The spatial evolution patterns of these three villages imply the spatial characteristics of the touristization of traditional villages in different stages, and also have great representative value for the management of rural settlements in tourism areas in China.
