Auswirkungen des demographischen Wandels auf touristische Nachfragestrukturen in Deutschland und ausgewählten Quellmärkten. Das zukünftige Reisevolumen und -verhalten verschiedener Altersgruppen

Bente Grimm, Daniel Metzler, Elias Butzmann, Dirk J. Schmücker

Page range: 111-132

Abstract

Demographic change - especially the changing age structure - will have an influence on future tourism demand. This article shows the substantial influence of demographic change on tourism demand for holiday trips and short trips up to 2020 in Germany and the most important German source markets and makes subsequent deductions. These include an increase in overnight stays abroad and a decrease in domestic overnights due to demographic change. Furthermore, shifts between different age groups are to be expected, e.g. a growing importance of seniors and one-child-families as well as a constant or slightly increasing percentage of people with health impairment. Among other things, these changes would cause a decrease in seasonality and an increase in cultural, health and nature holidays. The importance of the Internet as an information and booking channel will continue to increase under the influence of demographic change.

Von der Einbahnstrasse zum Gegenverkehr. Der chinesische Outbound- Tourismus im Spiegel der strukturellen Veränderungen globaler Mobilitäten

Rainer Fugmann, Wolfgang Georg Arlt

Page range: 133-146

Abstract

The structures of global tourism flows are experiencing profound changes; however, the scientific debate about the new stakeholders in international tourism is still at the early stages of development. In particular, the PR of China attracts international attention as an emerging tourism source market. This article attempts to show in a first step the developments of the Chinese outbound tourism in the recent past. Building on this knowledge, a second step explains that a profound debate on the phenomenon of the Chinese outbound tourism inevitably leads to a questioning of the established scientific approaches on tourism.

Neue Herkunftsmärkte und regionale Tourismusstruktur. Ein tourismuspolitisches Spannungsfeld im alpinen Tourismus

Paul Tschurtschenthaler

Page range: 147-164

Abstract

Tourism in Austria, more specifically in the Alpine destinations, owes its high social standing primarily to the economic balance it has created among the regions which has maintained settlement in large areas of the Austrian Alps. Due to decreasing demand of Austria′s traditional touristic markets marketing specialists have been trying to break into new markets. However, this new marketing strategy has been pursued without questioning how these new markets, far from being homogeneous, affect the regional economic balance. Much of the present discussion concerning this issue revolves around the overseas markets because of their high attractiveness. Recent statistics, however, show that the areas to profit from overseas markets are the cities and towns and not the peripheral regions. Therefore the redistribution of the financial resources in tourism marketing has also to be seen in this context.

Ökotourismus, Partizipation und nachhaltige Entwicklung. Erfahrungen aus einem regionalen Entwicklungsprojekt in Nepal

Kurt Luger

Page range: 165-184

Abstract

The Rolwaling Eco-Tourism Development Project in Nepals Gauri Shankar region was set up to promote sustainable and community-based tourism that is appropriate to the needs of the local population, visitors and the fragile natural environment. The international NGO EcoHimal supported the building of the physical infrastructure and provided funding, technical and logistical know-how, training and overall coordination. The project′s focus was on providing basic social infrastructure and community capacity building to improve the living conditions of the local population as a precondition for tourism development, and the project thus combined eco-tourism development with integrated rural development. The article reflects this development approach in the Himalayan region and gives an assessment of the achievements based on theoretical considerations.

Site-Seeing. Zur räumlichen Form des städtetouristischen Blicks

Andreas Pott

Page range: 185-200

Abstract

The article examines how in and through communication the tourist gaze is spatialized. Compared to other aspects of the tourist gaze its communicative spazialization has hardly been paid attention to so far. The exemplary focus of this paper is on urban tourism, i.e. a specific form of modern tourism built on culture as the characteristic scheme of touristic comparison and observation. Using notions and concepts derived from sociological systems theory the functions of spatial differentiations in urban tourism are analyzed. It can be argued that spatial differentiations serve as central mechanisms of the regulation and adjustment of touristic communications, perceptions and the bodies of tourists. On this conceptual basis the practice of placing which is inherent in the (urban) tourist gaze is comprehensible. The placing of objects, people, customs, landscapes or sights is typical for the tourist gaze. As a social construction it plays a decisive part in the formation of structures and expectations in modern (urban) tourism.

About this journal

The Zeitschrift für Tourismuswissenschaft – Journal of Tourism Science – continues the tradition of profound scientific discourse in the German-speaking world. The journal focuses on multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary issues concerning touristic phenomena. In this connection, the journal is geared towards researchers and practitioners in search of substantiated information about tourism-related problems. The articles, which are of a qualitative and quantitative nature, are aimed at basic research or reflect the findings of applied research.

In addition to publishing scientific essays from all kinds of sub-disciplines (in particular history, geography, communication and media studies, cultural sciences, ethnology, cultural anthropology, methodology/statistics, ecology, psychology, sociology, economics, business administration and education), the journal also presents project reports, book reviews and conference reports.

The Zeitschrift für Tourismuswissenschaft therefore aims to

act as a forum for tourism scientists from all kinds of disciplines (social and cultural sciences, economic sciences and environmental science)
support interaction between these disciplines
encourage network-building
promote young researchers and
raise awareness among the general public of the need for scientific tourism research.

Two issues are published each year; individual issues may be dedicated to specific key topics. Specific subjects may also be addressed in additional special issues.
In its meeting on 7 February 2011, the Scientific Advisory Board of the Association of Geographers at German Universities (VGDH) resolved to include the ‘Zeitschrift für Tourismuswissenschaft’ (tw) in its list of recognised geography journals. It was included in category 2 of scientific journals (without ISCI listing).
