Study Notes
Tourism Activation Stages
- Five stages of tourism activation: infrastructure development, community engagement, marketing/promotion, cultural/natural resource management, and education/awareness raising for visitors.
Advantages of Heritage Tourism
- Conservation of Heritage: Preserving historical sites, training specialists, increasing cultural value, planning for protection, and showcasing heritage to the public.
- Economic Dynamism: Investment in tourism and related industries, infrastructure development, and regional planning.
Disadvantages of Heritage Tourism
- Tourism Dependency: Reliance on tourism can destabilize traditional economies and create vulnerability to seasonal fluctuations and external factors; multinational control might displace local businesses.
- Heritage Deterioration: Damage from usage, physical factors (e.g., weather), aesthetic and spiritual degradation, overtourism effects, damage from theft, and architectural deterioration.
- Heritage Commodification: Turning heritage into commodities for sale, potentially altering traditions, causing stereotypes, and reducing cultural significance; cultural heritage reduced to mere tourist product.
Cultural Tourism and Local Communities
-
Positive Impacts on Sending Societies: Exposure to new cultures, fostering respect.
-
Positive Impacts on Receiving Communities: Showcasing local culture, reinforcing appreciation for heritage, and boosting local economies.
-
Negative Impacts on Receiving Communities: Potential for depersonalization, stereotyping, blurred local identity, acculturation to meet tourist demands leading to a loss of unique traditions/standardization, and commodification of local crafts with loss of authenticity.
Oral Memory
- Oral memory is the transmission of stories, traditions, knowledge, and experience through spoken language, crucial in cultures without written systems for preserving history and identity.
- Storytelling, songs, and rituals are central to preserving traditions, values, and relationships within communities.
Cultural Heritage Cycle
- Transmission: Sharing heritage with younger people to preserve traditions.
- Reception: Learning and accepting heritage, understanding and participating in practices.
- Adaptation: Adding new elements to heritage, preserving its roots.
