Indigenous groups that made full contact with Western culture relatively recently (almost sixty years ago in the case of Huaorani) are targeted by Western tourists looking for “exotic” people and ...places. Huaorani people’s image fits into this category and it can be found in various media. Huaorani have quickly adapted to increasing numbers of tourists and their needs: they sell handicrafts, found their own tourist agencies, build “jungle lodges” in the tropical forest and become licensed tourist guides. This paper focuses on the image of the Huaorani created by various media, on tourists expectations, their fulfillment by the local people as well as tourist services provided by inhabitants of one remote Huaorani settlement.
Recent trends in China’s domestic tourism development offer possibilities for the democratisation of the ways that places and people are represented and understood. This study offers a timely ...intervention for understanding the change in China’s ideologically charged tourism representations as affected by the growth of domestic travel. The central topics are the creation and production of places of tourism in two ethnic minority rural villages. The analysis on the promotional outputs of both villages across various media defines tourism as a discourse of difference and indicates that tourism is utilised by the Chinese government as an ideological tool to locate and define minority ethnicity. The study aims to determine how China’s ethnic places are produced and their effect on the social and institutional relations in a contemporary nation that is stratified upon rural and ethnic binaries of difference.

Dunaj in Praga sta pomembna srednjeevropska turistična kraja, ki ju je v letu 2011 obiskalo enako število tujih turistov. Čeprav sta mesti približno enako veliki in imata podobno kulturno turistično ...ponudbo, se močno razlikujeta po prostorski razporeditvi turistov in njihovi rabi prostora. Mestno središče Prage je znano po zastojih, prenapolnjenosti in enofunkcijski rabi, medtem ko središče Dunaja obišče podobno število gostov, vendar si pri tem lokalne funkcije in turizem ne nasprotujejo. Na podlagi podatkov, pridobljenih s pomočjo geografsko označenih fotografij obeh mest, ki so bile objavljene na spletnih straneh za izmenjavo fotografij, smo izdelali grafa prostorske razporeditve turističnih znamenitosti in poti. Z analizo teh primerljivih grafov smo lahko pojasnili razlike v turističnih sistemih obeh mest, ki so povezane predvsem z njuno morfološko zgradbo in različnimi pristopi k razvoju mestnega turizma v preteklem desetletju.
Vse toplejše zime so smučišče Španov vrh nad Jesenicami pahnile v nazadovanje in zimski turizem na Planini pod Golico na rob propada. Pri morebitnem oživljanju zimskega turizma se v luči novih ...podnebnih razmer postavlja vprašanje smotrnosti vlaganja v klasični zimski turizem. Prispevek analizira trende temperature zraka v zimskih mesecih in trende snežne odeje na Planini pod Golico z namenom ugotoviti smiselnost razvoja zimskega turizma. V sklepnem delu so navedeni predlogi za novo, trajnostno obliko turistične ponudbe na Planini pod Golico na osnovi lokalnih potencialov.
V prispevku so obravnavane značilnosti turističnega/prostočasnega obiska visokogorja na primeru gorskih vrhov na območju Kamniške Bistrice ter raznovrstni dejavniki, ki vplivajo nanje. Za preučitev ...obiska so bili uporabljeni podatki iz vpisnih knjig, ki se nahajajo na vrhovih. Posamezni vrhovi se med sabo močno razlikujejo po številu obiskovalcev, po tem, od kod prihajajo in katero dolino si izbirajo za izhodišče, pa tudi v kolikšni meri so vrhovi obiskani kot samostojni cilji.
