Tourist experiences and attractions

Research examining the relationship between place and identity shows that the experience of places influences a person's process of identification, through which an emotional bond with the place may be developed. However, the implications of this literature for land restoration remain unexplored. This is partially due to a gap in empirical research that explores the performance of identities in environmentally degraded settings. This paper examines the relationship between identity and place among residents living around five coal ash disposal sites in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The paper develops a qualitative model to understand the emergence of divergent responses towards the pollution and illustrates that in an environmentally degraded setting the bonds between the individuals and the place are not necessarily dislocated; in some cases, these bonds may be even reinforced by the performance of adaptative identities in response to environmental change.

But they have not identified what kinds of experiences the holiday makers have at the stages.…”

A B S T R A C TThis study presents the empirical findings of exploratory qualitative study which was undertaken to investigate the perceived holiday experiences international residents in Korea. Data were collected by conducting in-depth interviews with international residents who live in Korea for a long time and analyzed using CAQDAS NVivo 2. This study revealed that the people and places play an important part in shaping the travel experiences. In other words, the complex nature of travel experiences can be explained by their proximity to people: the human interactive dimension (festival & event and social experiences) and places: the spatial dimension (environment, adventure, heritage, and romantic experiences). Also there are some kinds of experiences that are more or less equally inclined to people and places-the cultural experience (urban, religious, knowledge experiences). This article, therefore, contributes to tourism market in Korea for international residents by classifying the travel experience typologies. It could extend in developing marketing strategies of creating and promoting Korean travel products not only for international residents, but also for tourists in general who visit Korea in details.

“…Within tourist psychology research there have been some empirically based analysis leading to conceptual understandings of tourist experiences, first of all from cognitive psychology (Larsen, 2007;O'Dell, 2007;Pearce, 2011;Vittersø, Vorkinn, Vistad, & Vaagland, 2000). These contributions are associated with contexts where people are travelling and visiting other places and/or sites.…”
