An Empirical Study Of Local Maori Residents ' Perceptions Of Film Tourism On New Zealand

Trask is able to use logos to prove how tourism has affected the Hawaiian culture. Trask refers to Hawaii as a “She” who “Rubs off” on the visitor with her magical presence. The beauty of Hawaii is used as an escape from “Rawness and violence” for most Americans though, Trask mentions that the land has a “Western sexual sickness” (Trask 1993). “Of course, all this hype is necessary to hide the truth about tourism, the awful exploitative truth that the industry is the major cause of environmental degradation, low wages, land dispossession, and the highest cost of living in the United States” (Trask 1993). Trask says that the areas of Hawaii which were “sacred” to the Hawaiian’s have now been turned into top of the line hotels. The beaches that were once full of fishermen and their nets are used for recreational activities like surfing getting a tan and jet skiing. On most of the beaches owned by resorts, the beaches are reserved for hotel residences only. In the essay, Trask gives the readers logos as to how tourism is changing the land. For example, thirty years ago the ratio of Hawaiians outnumbered the tourist 2:1. Today,

Hawaii is a beautiful island and it didn’t take long for people to realize it could be a lucrative business venture. Hawaii’s tourism began, as “bourgeois desires for contact with the rejuvenating "primitive"” became something that interested

Visit Scotland and the tourist industry convey images of Scotland which show that people are always happy. These images are aimed at tourists in order to bring people to Scotland. There is a sense of community and belonging however are they only showing rural Scotland. The images of modern Scotland are not shown. This means that their images only show the countryside. They do not show the night life of Scotland and also what the cities are like. This may lead many people into believing that everyone in Scotland own sheep and live in cottages and that they are miles away from shops. This is very stereotypical. Visit Scotland is not the only industry that does this, the film industry does this too. For example; “Made of Honor” is very modern film released in 2008. However, when the film moves to Scotland it shows the family living in a castle in the middle of

The social and cultural processes are also significantly impacted. Tourism has helped develop and keep up the unique culture of the island, it has helped revive artistic traditions, and has provided an economic justification for preserving them. But tourism has also led to importantly behavioural impacts, for example; nude sunbathing by tourist is widely disliked by the locals, as well as that lack of respect is shown by tourists in scared places such as temples. Another negative impact is the social development of Bali. There are constant conflicts between local villagers and developers who want the land for hotels and attractions like golf courses. These social impacts have led to a loss in culture and heritage. Another significant impact is the turning of Balinese culture into a commodity. The major influx of tourists has plagued Bali’s culture. Dances, ceremonies and arts and crafts are all now adapted to tourists timetables and tastes, and are mass produced to reduce cost. Also because more people are choosing to work in the tourism industry, this has meant that fewer are available doe traditional ceremonies and communal tasks, placing more pressure on traditional community organisations.

Hawaii’s beautiful terrain, clear ocean waters, and year around tropical climate temperatures, combined with the people’s Aloha and welcoming spirit has made the islands one of the most attractive location in the world to visit. In 1997, 158,000 individuals visited Hawaii each day, and the annual tourist arrival count was 6.8 million. (Luciano). Although Hawaii’s tourism business has improved the socio-economic condition for many that has made Hawaii their home, there have been negative impacts to Native Hawaiians with second and third order effects that go unseen behind the ocean front hotels, luaus, and tourist attractions. Hawaii has become a major tourist destination that receives over six million visitors per year. One of a major contributor to the Hawaiian economy, so much that it generates 10 billion dollars per year to the economy. (Lukasz). Because of tourism, the negative impact on the Native Hawaiians has been eye opening for the economic effects and even globalization. At home, specific negative effects include overbuilding to accommodate increased population densities, low income jobs, and mistreatment from tourists.

A community which at times has a push-pull relationship with it’s vital tourism industry, has been essentially cutoff from the outside world, once again, rendering those who live here with both great challenges and the sense of a return to a bygone era.

Evaluation of the NSW Aboriginal tourism sector capacity to respond to increased domestic consumer demand for Aboriginal tourism experiences.

Key information about the demographics of domestic consumers participating in Aboriginal tourism experiences, as well as their general attitudes towards participating in Aboriginal tourism experiences.

The travel and tourism industry is one of the world's largest industries with a global economic contribution in 2016 alone of over 7.6 trillion U.S. dollars (Facts, 2017). Over the past six decades, tourism has experienced continued expansion and diversification to become one of the largest and fastest-growing economic sectors in the world (http://www.e-unwto.org/doi/pdf/10.18111/9789284418145). With this exponential growth, there is a need to harness this potential to benefit all stakeholders involved, from local communities to global corporations. According to Tourism Research Australia (TRA), tourism in 2016 brought in over fifty-three billion dollars into the Australian economy (***fact sheet in Excel). While this represents over three percent of the total GDP of Australia, it is hard to delineate how much of this revenue is attributed to cultural tours and experiences provided by Indigenous Australians. For Indigenous Australians, this new avenue has potential to create job opportunities as well as revenue, but also may contribute to problems brought into effect by the mandating of professional standards. While latent prospects are present, the ability to balance between cultural preservation and mainstream Australia will prove to be a difficult undertaking.

Lured by the promise of sandy shores and tropical paradise, people from all around the world find themselves drawn to the beautiful Hawaiian Islands. Ideal with its depiction of exotic dancers, surfing luxurious waves, and lush climate Hawaii truly seems to be the perfect getaway. However upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that the media's portrayal of Hawaii is not entirely accurate. Since the tourist industry is able to smooth over any troublesome detail that could create damage to their profit, many remain unaware of the problems being faced.

When one looks at the social and economic indicators of well-being, the conclusion is clear. Tourism has not benefited the host Native Hawaiian people and it probably never will. To understand this, one must understand that Hawaii today is at the mercy of transnational interests. Foreign investment related to tourism went from 70.8 million dollars in 1981 to over a billion and a half in 1986. The increase is enough to make anyone’s head spin and confirms the vulnerability of Hawaii and Hawaii’s people. Japanese investment in leading the pack has plunked down over 3 billion dollars for hotels alone in a time period of eighteen years ending 1989. The Australians are far behind the second place with 117 million. Today, almost every major hotel is owned by foreign investors and almost every hotel on the drawing board is being funded by foreign investment. The rapid and phenomenal increase of foreign investment is the clearest indication that any consideration of the short and long term negative impact of tourism is of no consequence to those involved in the industry.

Familiarity, attitudes and negative media may be contributing factors as to why domestic tourists do not participate in Indigenous tourism activities or experiences, a further challenge is that this market is largely unaware that there is an option to do so. So, strategies to grow the domestic market for Indigenous tourism should focus on increasing awareness amongst the domestic market
