Skuras D., Dimara E. and Petrou A (2006) Rural tourism and visitors' expenditures for local food products, Regional Studies 40, 769-779. European rural development policy has supported the production of local and regionally denominated food as a means to differentiate agricultural production, and rural tourism as a means to diversify rural employment. The aim of the present work is to address tourists' decision to buy local food products while visiting lagging rural areas and the amount of money spent over these products. The findings should be of particular interest to practitioners of rural development as they point out to possible market segmentation and communication potentials, and reflect on differences between accessible and less accessible rural areas. Skuras D., Dimara E. et Petrou A (2006) Le tourisme rural et les depenses des visiteurs pour les produits alimentaires du pays, Regional Studies 40, 769-779. La politique europeenne en faveur du developpement rural a favorise les produits alimentaires d'origine controlee comme moyen de differencier la production, et le tourisme rural comme moyen de diversifier l'emploi rural. Cet article cherche a aborder la decision des touristes d'acheter les produits alimentaires du pays au moment de leur visite aux zones rurales en perte de vitesse et le montant d'argent depense pour ces produits. Les conclusions tirees devraient etre d'un interet particulier pour les specialistes en developpement rural parce qu'elles indiquent un potentiel eventuel quant a la segmentation du marche et a la communication, et refletent des differences entre les zones rurales accessibles et moins accessibles.

Die Europapolitik fur landliche Entwicklung hat die Erzeugung von als ortlich und regional klassifizierten Nahrungsmitteln als Mittel der Unterscheidung zwischen landwirtschaftlicher Produktion und den Tourismus auf dem Lande als Mittel zur Diversifikation der Erwerbstatigkeit auf dem Lande unterstutzt. Mit der vorliegenden Arbeit soll untersucht werden, unter welchen Umstanden Touristen in wirtschaftlich unterentwickelten landlichen Gebieten vor Ort erzeugte Nahrungsmittel kaufen und wie viel Geld sie fur solche Erzeugnisse ausgeben. Die Befunde dieser Arbeit sollten besonders diejenigen interessieren, die in der Entwicklung landlicher Gebiete tatig sind, da sie auf etwaige Segmentierung des Marktes und Ausbau der Verbindungen hinweisen, und Uberlegungen bezuglich Unterschieden zwischen leicht und weniger leicht zuganglichen landlichen Gebieten anstellen.

“…Working together, these stakeholders have developed additional events along the route to extend the wine tourism season. Similarly, Briedenhann and Wickens (2004); Rogerson (2007); Meyer (2004) and Koscak, Colaric-Jakse, and Veljkovic (2014) discuss the potential of routes for promoting regional co-operation and economic development. Each are optimistic about the positive benefits that trails can bring but emphasise the need for strong planning and marketing approaches plus community involvement if these are to be realised (Marschall, 2012).…”

Self-guided trails – a route to more responsible tourism?

In recent years, the tourism industry has faced its critics by turning its attention to the development of more responsible tourism. This is a form of tourism that is mindful of the diverse needs of host communities, local business and the visitor. This article investigates the development of more responsible tourism from the perspective of a popular tourist product -the self-guided trail or route. The trail or route provides a themed and interpreted journey through the urban or rural landscape, creating links between sites, attractions and other tourism businesses and providing information and storytelling along the way. These products have a global appeal and are becoming more prolific. Through reviewing the literature on trails the paper analyses their key characteristics and the rationales of developers and concludes that trails have the potential to contribute to more responsible tourism development. The paper goes on to propose a series of planning principles which are derived from the literature and examples of good practice therein which may assist trail developers in creating more responsible tourism routes and trails. The discussion concludes with a case study of a project in Cornwall in the south west of the UK, where responsible planning has underpinned recent trail development.

“…14 expose the problematic nature of such claims by elaborating on Goldworthy's 15 critique of development theories and by highlighting that the theoretical link between tourism and development simply may not be consistent with the reality on the ground. 16 Scholars of the Middle East have contributed to the debate by examining the connection between authoritarian resilience and tourism, noting that the transformation of the sector after privatisation and neo-liberal reforms during the 1990s has strengthened authoritarianism, with the ruler's circles benefitting from economic reforms. In the case of Egypt, Richter and Steiner highlighted how revenues originating from tourism were not shared with the wider public but distributed among the members of closed 'networks of privilege.'…”
