Revista de Turismo y Patrimonio Cultural11ETourism; Cultural heritage; Authenticity; Representation; ConsumptionTourist growth is attributed, each time more habitually, to the cultural offer of the destinations. That idea is in some way true, but is it really the culture, the patrimony and cultural legacy of the towns, what activates the tourist flow towards a destination? The destinations and those that want to become destinations are dressing out and toiling in order to attract more and more visitors. Their success will depend on the success of their attractiveness. In this task, the resource use becomes intensive. Envi-ronment, leisure, sports, spaces, events of any nature and, of course, the local culture are useful for such an end. However, except those designed explicitly for the tourist, not all the resources are able to be presented, contemplated and understood in their complexity. They should be adapted for a repetitive, quick, interesting and simple use, ready for a glance, not for reading. This makes possible that for the same place, event or patrimonial device may exists different versions, several arguments according to the target groups and uses. From this point of view, would exist a cultural patrimony that could be activated, promoted and consumed or not, exclusively due to economic interests linked to tourism development.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/1103/PS010103.pdf 1695-7121asantana@ull.es?Bianchi, Raoul V.2003dPlace and power in tourism development: tracing the complex articulations of community and locality13-32/PASOS. Revista de Turismo y Patrimonio Cultural11&Tourism; Power; Community; ConsumptionsThis paper outlines the case for the analysis of tourism, power and place in the development process from a critical sociological perspective. It draws on recent trends in the sociology of development to develop existing theoretical models in a manner which transcends the more rigid dualisms between structure and agency on the one hand, and, the concerns of power and identity on the other. As in recent works from noted scholars such as Picard and Wood (1997), the relationship between tourism and processes of development and social transformation are more nuanced and varied than previous 'theo-retical' models in tourism have recognised. Hence, this paper examines the issue by considering four major thematic areas of relevance to the study of tourism and its diverse relationships to processes of social change: the relations of community, consumption, production and place.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/1103/PS020103.pdf 1695-7121r.bianchi@londonmet.ac.ukC?Martín de la Rosa, Beatriz2003}Host and guest revisited.

It allows us to join pleasure with the experience of knowing different cultures and exercising our citizenship rights. Samba schools, which are much more than just a beautiful plastic-musical spectacle, represent the history of resistance of the Brazilian people against exclusion and stereotypes. In addition, due to their aesthetic beauty and cultural power, samba schools are a valuable cultural asset. Therefore, there should be a partnership between samba schools and the sector of educational tourism in order to foster the promotion and economic and social emancipation of the communities that, for several decades, have been creating 'the most beautiful popular spectacle of the world'. However, the majority of these communities are not allowed to have access to the wealth that is created by them.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/1103/PS080103.pdf 1695-7121tramonte@ced.ufsc.br?#Tamanini, Elizabete2003eMuseu e Educação: Reflexões acerca da experiência no Museu Arqueológico de Sambaqui de Joinville79-84/PASOS.

Instead of traditional activities linked to fishing, now tourism and recreation are the core of the new uses. Nature, constructed or re-created, is now a key feature of many tourist destinies. In this context, marine protected areas attempt to preserve areas with special biological values from fisheries overexploitation, offering tourist and recreational uses compatible with conservation and following a general tendency all around the world. In the Canary Islands they constitute one of the most important measures of fisheries management and nature preservation. Nowadays there are three marine reserves in the Archipelago. The normative of marine protected areas limit professional fishing activities, and also drive forward tourism, especially scuba diving, involving relevant social impacts in the com-munities nearby. Also, those communities have had to confront many different impacts induced by tour-ism or aquaculture, changing economic strategies or the use of social spaces in land or at sea.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/1103/PS060103.pdf 1695-7121jpascual@ull.es0?%Barretto, Margarita2003~La delicada tarea de planificar turismo cultural: Un estudio de caso con la "germanidad" de la ciudad de Blumenau- SC (Brasil)51-63/PASOS.

The different forms of nature appraisement are determining an articulation of interests among social actors that represent powers of diverse space scales, such as local populations, municipal councils and international cooperation. The tourism has been a media that represents those values on the nature. Conservation value, value of survival, reservation value, market value. The tourism in the amazon cities, the tourism represented by the forest hotels, the tourism practiced in the conservation units and finally the tourism developed from community organizations supported by the non Government Organizations, all are modalities configured as a valuation form of the amazon nature, each one with their interests and motivations.

This is why we adopt the criteria which the German NGO "Studienkreis für Tourismus und Entwicklung" (Study Group of Tourism and Development) uses to judge candidates for the TODO prize. The prize is awarded each year to two or three communities considered worthy of the title Socially Responsi-ble Tourism. The case study shows how a com-munity occupying a small stretch of beach since 1870, develops its principal activity which is fish-ing and at the same time writes some pages of history thanks to the spirit of adven-ture of its population, while suffering the aggression of real estate speculators who sense a million dollar busi-ness on the land where the humble fisher-families live. The study looks at the community, which, with the support of NGO´s and a human rights defense group not only resists the speculators, but looks for the way of sustainability. For them tour-ism means not only complementary income to fishing, but also a way to show that communities with strong village organizations and support from well meaning volunteers can develop tourism, challenging government view that tourism is for business. Income from tourism stays and circu-lates in the community generating economic ac-tivities. We also see how tourism developed by the community within its eco-system helps to raise awareness for nature of the population, at the same time recovering and strengthening cultural expression and diversity, lifting self-esteem of this traditional population, called Jangadeiros.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/1203/PS100603.pdf 1695-7121fishnet@uol.com.br[?8Calero, Francisco2003 Diplomado en turismo y Master / Experto en gestión de empresas turísticas en la Universidad de La Laguna (Tenerife, España) (Estudios y grupos de trabajo)243-246/PASOS.

New reservation distribution systems (GDS and CRS) and interactive television systems are setting new guidelines for the sector. The worldwide platform of the Internet has created a new context, which is rapidly emerging and becoming ever more dynamic. For this reason, travel organisations should explore the proliferation of management tools that facilitate the establishment of new competitive strategies and positioning in an increasingly volatile area, with new products and forms in both demand and supply. This exploratory study identifies and interprets several questions based on a survey of 82 hotel and travel agency managers in the Canary Islands, who express their views about current and future developments in the sector.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/1203/PS090603.pdf 1695-7121+eparra@ull.es mmelchio@ull.es aramos@ull.es?:Ascanio, Alfredo2003TLa opinión sobre una crisis turística: la cultura mediática detrás de bastidores207-216/PASOS.

Revista de Turismo y Patrimonio Cultural12pTourism; Market segmentation; Nationality; Income; Type of establishment; Excursions and recreational activitiesThe Canary Islands have traditionally been a destination for mass tourism, a fact that is not, however, necessarily incompatible with a growing trend towards segmentation in tourist markets. In fact, the experience of other traditional destinations, like the Balearic Islands, shows that the two trends can take place at the same time. This article presents the results of a segmentation study carried out on a representa-tive sample of the tourist market for the island of La Palma (Canary Islands) in early 2002. More specifi-cally, we cross demand segments and services to study a possible imbalance between tourist expectations for the services offered and the services that are actually contracted in the destination. The segments studied were: nationality (German and Spanish), income and type of establishment; and the services studied: excur-sions, recreational activities in general and sports activities in particular. The results show that the best posi-tive response to the destination is found for excursions for both nationalities. For the other services offered, however, (recreational activities and more specifically sports activities), the response differs substantially from one nationality to another, suggesting that the destination in general is in a better position to cover the contracting expectations of Spanish domestic tourism. In summary, the results of the study lead us to con-clude that the cultural factors associated with nationality have the strongest influence on defining tourist service consumer behaviour.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/1203/PS070603.pdf 1695-7121fdiazp@ull.es mbethen@ull.es/?<6Lozano Badialli, José Eduardo D’Arc Ribeiro, Joana2003O Reverso do Postal: uma análise das atividades de uso público na região da Estação Ecológica de Anavilhanas, Estado do Amazonas, Brasil181-193/PASOS.

Whit this paper, I want to highlight the importance of the anthropologic study of tourism and its influence, as a social institution, on the collective memory of the inhabitants of a community, from a "popular narratives" study viewpoint. Likewise, it views tourism as a social phenomenon where the movements, travels and discretional income (i.e. unconstrained income that is not used to cover basic necessities), are considered as another element of the social, economical and psychological life of the characters involved in order to found its study on an interdisciplinary perspective. Finally, the study of a community's collective memory permits a more deep knowledge of its thoughts and feelings about the different aspects influencing the population's lives. In this manner, we can see what and how is affecting the people, trough their own narrations.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/1203/PS050603.pdf 1695-7121bibicala@hotmail.com?>'Menezes Teixeira Coriolano, Luzia Neide2003/Os limites do desenvolvimento e do turismo161-171/PASOS.

The assumptions of developmentalist theories, the so-called modernization theories, are shown and identified as traditional, conservative and consensual, thus differing from critical theories which adopt the assumptions of historical materialism. The paper examines those aspects of globalization which pertain to new approaches to development, whereby tourism becomes a link between the local and the global. The study explains how and why development is an unequal and joint process. Underdevelopment is a result of the structural adjustments which determine concentration of wealth and income, generating poverty as the ultimate expression of social inequality. It is shown that development only takes place when people benefit, when a human scale is reached, that tourism can both connect with concentrated economic growth and promote social development, otherwise known as local development.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/1203/PS040603.pdf 1695-7121coriolan@uece.br??Martín de la Rosa, Beatriz2003ENuevos turistas en busca de un nuevo producto: El patrimonio cultural155-160/PASOS.

This article was inspired by a little group of uruguaian migrants in Brazil which can be considered as emblematic of this type of consumption oriented citizenship.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/2104/PS050104.pdf 1695-7121barretto@floripa.com.br ?KRibeiro, Marcelo2004}Festas populares e turismo cultural - inserir e valorizar ou es-quecer?

The word moussem refers to a collective pilgrimage around the tomb of a saint which people practice regularly at a specific time of year. The one which takes place in the village called Imilchil has undergone a series of transformations over the years. These changes are connected not only to the power relations of this Berber region, but also to the increased amount of tourists coming to this area. It is these connections we attempt to analyse in this article.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/2104/PS030104.pdf 1695-7121m.jesus.berlanga@uv.es?M%D’Arc Ribeiro, Joana Nelson, Sherre2004HA industria do turismo: pespectiva de desenvolvimento para o Amazonas17-24/PASOS.

In this paper we try to analyse how these two processes are linked and what role is playing the local marine protected area in this case. We use not only qualitative information from fishers and their domestic units, but also quantitative data contrasting some objective parameters as the number of fishers and active fishing boats or service related business (restaurants, apartments, etc.), before and after the implementation of the marine reserve. In this sense, an important element is the perception of this institution from the local population, and the evolution of their attitude in favour or against it. These processes are related to the institutional design of the marine reserves in the Canary Island, where the participation of local fishing populations is severely limited.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/2104/PS010104.pdf 1695-7121gcabrera@ull.es?OPastor Abreu, Antonio20045Turismo: ¿desarrollo duradero?

There is ample agreement about the importance of consumer orientation for the competitiveness of companies. Businesses are faced with the need to satisfy customers today and to develop new products for the future. These requirements are accentuated in the tour-ist sector because they have a particular dependence on "tourist preferences". The aim of this paper is to contribute to this debate with the results of an analysis that seeks to deepen the knowledge of competitive advantages in the hotel sector of two tourism destinations by studying the utility that the different products offered provides to de-mand. By means of the application of the statistical techniques of conjoint analysis and simulation, we have obtained a model to apply to entrepreneurial decision-making that enables us to recognise the product that, among those supplied, most value provides to the demand of each tourism destination, as well as the observation of significant differences between those destinations.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/2204/PS020204.pdf 1695-7121+eparra@ull.es mmelchio@ull.es aramos@ull.esb?_Ascanio, Alfredo2004XTurismo y desarrollo de la comunidad: un primer paso para rescatar la identidad cultural155-161/PASOS.

In complex attempt of mapping the sites of interest (while having in view different models of typologies of a tourist), emphasis has been put on strategy that involves the contemporary art-praxis connected to cultural and visual anthropology. In the continuance, through blending anthropological and semiotical concepts, the most important issues that have been raised are: coexistence of the most distinctive cultural features even in the smallest urban units, studies of social and aesthetic signs that represent those features and production of meaning in cooperation of host and tourist in projecting a city as a (touristic) product.

It also discusses the conceptions of ecotourism, native ecotourism, native tourism, ethnic tourism and ethnotourism and points out the proceeding for the planning of ecotourism in Amazonas.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/3105/PS040105.pdf 1695-7121ivigeo@ufam.edu.br?6Montero Muradas, Isabel Oreja Rodríguez, Juan Ramón2005fDiseño de un instrumento de medida para el análisis comparativo de los recursos culturales tangibles245-255/PASOS.

Revista de Turismo y Patrimonio Cultural41DUltraperiphericity; Agrotourism; Sustainable Tourism; Canary Islands]Ultraperipheral regions share certain common characteristics, such as their remoteness from the major supplying centres, their scanty resources, their island status or isolated location and consequent fragmentation of markets. Over the past decades, there has been an increasing awareness of the impact of ultraperiphericity on the development of a number of regions and islands. The concept of “ultraperiphericity” includes specific geographic circumstances that influence the development and specialisation of economies, competitiveness and business strategies. Agrotourism is playing an ever increasingly important role in the diversification of the agriculture, farming and tourism sectors into the Ultraperipheral Regions. Therefore, particular attention should be paid to the economic development of rural areas in Ultraperipheral Areas and to the reappraisal of agriculture, which is closely connected with tourism. Agrotourism is essential to diversify, transform and improve the competitiveness and quality of farms. This paper examines the impact of Agrotourism as an alternative to sun and sand tourism, resulting in the growth of family income, in rural development and, in short, in new approaches to the tourism industry. A further goal of the paper is to develop a strategic analysis of Agrotourism, studying both supply and demand in the Canary Islands.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/4106/PS060106.pdf 1695-7121eparra@ull.es fcalero@ull.es?Fernandes Corrêa, Alexandre 2006%Patrimônios, Museus e Subjetividades135-142/PASOS.

Those highly sponsored pictures of the city that some times match the reality and some others do not; however true or false they share the same stereotyped and fake image. The picture of the tourist Barcelona shows a general image (an ideal representation) of the city, and this idealization creates several clichés that provide the city with its own special flavour and identity. This widely spread picture of Barcelona selects and presents several pieces and corners of the city that naturally become direct associations to it. This procedure of making reference points out of the resources the city has is not only efficient but can also confuse its real façade. A façade that most tourists can only glance at turning it as superficial and ephemeral as it is portrayed and assuming this sponsored image of Barcelona. The gap between such tourist pictures and the reality damages the identity of the city as this type of imposed pictures aid the creation of such clichés.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/4106/PS020106.pdf 1695-7121saidapalou@ub.edu?Fernández de Paz, Esther 2006ZDe tesoro ilustrado a recurso turístico: el cambiante significado del patrimonio cultural1-12/PASOS.

Now heritage is not contemplated exclusively as a historicalartistic treasure and starts to symbolize something much more valuable such as material and immaterial elements that are fundamental to understand our identity.

Revista de Turismo y Patrimonio Cultural42ZTide; Tourist development; Alternative tourist model; Halkis; Euripus straights phenomenon~Tourist season in Halkis is nowadays limited to the three summer months offering a resort for weekend tourists (Athens-Halkis). Halkis is given the opportunity to improvise and illustrate its cultural and historical elements that constitute her uniqueness by establishing a local development programme that would include alternate tourism forms. This proposal regarding the tourist development of Halkis through tidal phenomena is primarily an alternative tourist development model. It differs from current development standards characterized by inequality, environmental and cultural degradation. This is based on the assumption that proposing an alternative tourism form in Halkis would lead to the initiation and exploitation of factors that are disregarded nowadays, that could ignite the tourist rebirth of this area. The creation of new employment positions and the amelioration of life conditions in this town could prevent the constant escape of the vital work-force to Athens and Piraeus. The success of the tourist development through the tidal phenomenon can be considered either a complete solution or an alterna-tive model. This may be unique from the tourist aspect, as the tidal phenomenon of Euripus could be the attraction pole, for a great number of people because this tourist forms (observation of a unique yet in-teresting natural phenomenon) is contradictory to luxury. Simultaneously, the Mediterranean nutrition could be co-depicted, by offering the opportunity to the tourist to become more intimate with local prod-ucts. This would help people understand the importance of Euripus tidal phenomenon for the tourist development of Halkis.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/4206/PS080206.pdf 1695-7121skaragianis@sdo.teiher.gr?1Seidl, Andy Guiliano, Fiorella Pratt, Lawrence 2006nCruise tourism and community economic development in Central America and the Caribbean: The case of Costa Rica213-224/PASOS. Revista de Turismo y Patrimonio Cultural425Cruise ship tourism; Economic development; Costa Rica Cruise ship tourism; Economic development; Costa Rica This paper illustrates an economic approach to understanding the cruise tourism industry as a driver of economic development in Costa Rica. The objective is to describe the role and activities of the cruise ship industry and identify sources of economic benefit and cost such that more informed local policy decisions about the cruise ship tourism might be made. For example, our analysis indicates: the cruise tourism industry competes with the cargo shipping industry for port space at a significant cost to Costa Rican ports; the amount of money injected into the local economy per cruise tourist is substantially lower than for other types of tourism; Cruise ships purchase relatively few supplies in Costa Rica; Cruise ships generate a great deal of human waste, water and air pollution, which can create a serious health hazard, cleanup costs, and which are not commensurate with other types of tourism development available to Costa Rica; Decision makers may want to consider that investment in cruise tourism friendly ports may be less efficient from a national perspective than investment in infrastructure (e.g., airports) to increase more profitable types of tourism; And leaders may want to consider the encouragement of smaller “pocket” cruises over the current cruise version of mass tourism. This approach should be applicable to communities wherever cruise tourism currently exists or is under consideration to be included in the portfolio of community economic activities.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/4206/PS070206.pdf 1695-7121Andrew.Seidl@colostate.edu?Miranda Román, Guillermo 2006fLa participación del turismo en la modificación del paisaje cultural de Malinalco, Estado de México201-211/PASOS.

It will be argued that this truly postmodern image, currently fighting to become hegemonic, can be analysed in terms of national identity, thus leaving behind the traditional concept of heritage at least because Britannia can no longer recognise herself in a deceased body which is being artificially preserved.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/4206/PS050206.pdf 1695-7121jose-igor.prieto@uib.es?Toselli, Claudia 2006-Algunas reflexiones sobre el turismo cultural175-182/PASOS.

Revista de Turismo y Patrimonio Cultural42OHistory of tourism; Tourism in Catalonia, Tourist policy; Tourism restructuringThis article features, in a brief introduction, the history, present situation and main future challenges of tourism in Catalonia. Catalonia, as a region, is the first tourist destination in Spain according to the number of visitors and total income. Its particular geography and socio-cultural characteristics turn Catalonia into an interesting laboratory for studying the evolution of tourism in South Europe. On one hand, Costa Brava, mainly, and Costa Dorada have been a classical destination for ‘sun and beach’ tourism. On the other hand, its mountains and, above all the wide Pyrenean range have also promoted the development of winter tourism, which has reached its peak in Baqueria-Beret winter sports resort, and has forwarded the introduction of country tourism and adventure tourism. Cultural tourism, finally, which has always counted on complementary incentives such as the Roman city of Tarraco, the Greco-Roman archaeological site of Ampurias, the singularities of Montserrat or the works of Dalí, Picasso, Miró… has strongly taken off in Barcelona since the last restructuring and promotion of the city, because of the Olympic Games in 1992. All these facts make tourism a key sector in Catalonia, around which momentous debates take place, not always, perhaps, with the needed strict criteria. That is why we feel convenient to offer this panoramic view, which in its modest scope, may allow scholars in other parts of the world to have some essential information on this matter.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/4206/PS030206.pdf 1695-7121)solejimenez@telefonica.net llprats@ub.edu?Cardozo, Poliana Fabíula 2006=Considerações preliminares sobre produto turístico étnico143-152/PASOS.

It benefits local population through economic growth and employment creation. But after several decades of tourism development in the islands, academic knowledge about the behaviour of the sector and the impacts it creates is still scarce, considering its importance. One of the less known issues about tourism in the Canary Islands is the resident’s perception towards tourism. And it is this issue this paper deals with. It will be focused on the social discourses rejecting tourism in the Islands, even though it will also consider social discourses that have supported and still support tourism development. The paper adopts a qualitative strategy. The objective is not to analyze how many people in the Canary Islands reject or accept tourism, but rather to understand the meaning of their discourses about it. There are three impor-tant ideas in the reject discourse: tourism generate high concentration of population in the islands, the benefits of the activity go out and the tourists and the touristic model symbolize a low prestige consump-tion leisure product. Because today the sun and sea model symbolize low prestige.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/4306/PS000306.pdf 1695-7121jrmarrod@ull.es?%Esposito, Mark Cavelzani, Alessandro2006*The World Heritage and cultural landscapes409-419/PASOS.

Finally, one case study is also illustrated as a very good example of effective values-based man-agement.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/4306/PS080306.pdf 1695-71214m.esposito@ht.umass.edu alessandro.cavelzani@iulm.it?Ramón Hernández Armas 2006ZTurismo.

The Alto Douro wine region - World Herita-ge Site. Is there an argument for reinforcing the role of the state?421-428/PASOS. Revista de Turismo y Patrimonio Cultural43OWorld Heritage; Alto Douro wine region; Cultural heritage; Public intervention In this paper we trace the emergence of a specific case of cultural policy: the example chosen is a UNESCO World Heritage site, namely the Alto Douro Wine Region (ADW) a portuguese living and evolving cultural landscape. In order to contextualize the particularities of the means that have been adopted for the management of the ADW, we use Throsby’s (2001) typology of most commonly-used cultural heritage policy instruments. Additionally we draw on the arguments that are frequently used to support public intervention in this sphere. We conclude that ADW’s management policy should: 1) use binding agreements to operational-ize a range of measures that compensate farmers who become providers of cultural products; 2) strengthen education and information so as to promote greater physical access and personal appreciation of the ADW’s cultural goods and services; and 3) formulate an integrated set of social policies able to mitigate the negative socio-demographic trends that characterize the region and its population0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/4306/PS090306.pdf 1695-7121lsofia@utad.pt jrebelo@utad.ptX?\Gomes, Bruno Martins Augusto Correia Silva, Marcelo Alexandre Romaniello, Marcelo Márcio 2006aOs efeitos do turismo em comunidades receptoras: um estudo com moradores de Carrancas, MG, Brasil391-408/PASOS.

Revista de Turismo y Patrimonio Cultural43dNational Parks; Communities; Participation; Tourism; Costa Rica; Panama; Nicaragua; Central America.iProtected areas and national parks are becoming one of the most important forms of land use in Central America. All the projections made by the World Tourism Organization seems to agree that by 2010 Central America, maybe receiving between eight and ten millions tourists, a figure that is almost twice what the region is receiving today. A study was conducted base on 369 direct field surveys conducted in three Central American communities: Bagazit gateway community to Palo Verde National Park, Costa Rica, Nindiri, gateway community to Volcan Masaya National Park, Nicaragua and Portobelo, gateway community to Por-tobelo National Park, Panama. The study found that relative to the socio-demographic variables, that there were no significance differences at the 95% probability level in all four variables, age, sex, education and monthly income of the family. Educational level seems to be the socio-demographic variables affecting more the state of relations. The perception variable being has taken into account in the decision that affects the communities and responsibility to help with community problems are present in two of the three models. The perception variables related to tourism, feel trained to take care of the tourist and existence of businesses that can caters to tourist seem to be key elements in the community perception about the state of relation. Tourism related economic activities and community participation in park decisions are today and will be in the future essential elements in the shaping of community/park relations in Central America as tourism becomes a major economic sector in the region economy.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/4306/PS050306.pdf 1695-7121 jaguirre@fieldstudies.org?Feliu Franch, Joan 2006kLa recuperación del patrimonio del área metropolitana de Lima (Perú) a través del desarrollo turístico343-350/PASOS.

Revista de Turismo y Patrimonio Cultural51jHRD Practices; Classified Hotels; Professional Training; Promotions; Organizational Effectiveness; Orissa. In the present paper, an attempt has been made to measure the employees’ perception of some of the human resource development (HRD) practices prevailing in the classified hotels in Orissa. Orissa is a state in the eastern India which has been heavily concentrating its developmental efforts at the tourism industry in general and the hotel sector in particular since the early 80’s. However, the results do not substantiate the quantum of efforts for which many reasons have been proposed. A key contention made by critics is that these efforts were lopsided in that they gave undue importance to the marketing function and totally neglected complementary aspects like HRD. Hotel sector has of late realized this as a real lacuna that needs to be corrected immediately. Most classified hotels have been quick to set up active HRD wings to look into vital HRD practices such as manpower planning, training and competency development, performance appraisal, career planning, compensation packages, employee relationship management, and so on. Utmost stress has been given to employee training and development programs as part of their HRD policy by most star hotels. Yet, it has been observed by many that a vast majority of the employees are not found to be serious about the HRD initiatives, especially the various professional training options aimed at them. The present study rejects this observation and reveals that hotel employees do appreciate the fact that there is a positive association between professional training and their chances of promotion. They also understand that their professional training can help promote the organizational effectiveness as well. However, this understanding is proven to be stronger in the case of employees working in the higher star category hotels than those working in the lower star category hotels. But, no significant relationship existed between the level of professional training undergone by an employee and his or her perception about the benefits of professional training. In addition to these findings, the study presents a compendium of expert voices on HRD in tourism and attempts to offer some vital remedial measures for the effective implementation of HRD practices in the hotel sector. The authors present these matters only after providing a rich contextual familiarity about HRD practices in tourism as practiced in Orissa is an added benefit for the discerning readers.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/5107/PS070107.pdf 1695-71210georgebabu@indiatimes.com myselfgeorge@gmail.comu?DSantos Filho, João dos 2007FEspelho da história: o fenômeno turístico no percurso da humanidade69-80/PASOS.

Of course, it wasn´t an easy task because it asked for a valuable time in the research of the literary output. It shows the existence of interdisciplinaridade, multidisciplinaridade e transdisciplinaridade originally from this subject.The second one, is the from the daring in the attempt of question about the literature and its qualities, that was something very hard for a selected group of academics that works in this sort of area.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/5107/PS060107.pdf 1695-7121joaofilho@onda.com.br<?M Santana Turégano, Manuel Ángel2007BTurismo, economía y planificación urbana: una relación compleja53-67/PASOS. Revista de Turismo y Patrimonio Cultural51;Tourism; Economics; Sociology; Urban Planning: Development.The paper puts forward the need to develop a social approach about tourism as an economic activity. Many tourism activities that are considered to be as strictly economic are deeply influenced by non economic phenomena, such as urban planning. The case study of Maspalomas (Canary Islands) shows that what urban planning defines as “economic phenomena” varies depending on how it is defined. And those different definitions about “economy” benefit some agents and hinder others. Therefore, it is suggested that the analysis of “economically relevant” and “economically conditioned” phenomena should be considered when studying tourism economic activity. 0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/5107/PS050107.pdf 1695-7121masantur@ull.es?+Costa Beber, Ana Maria Barretto, Margarita 2007OLos cambios socioculturales y el turismo rural: el caso de una posada familiar45-52/PASOS.

At the present time this primary language is the Spanish spoken in the Canary Islands. Government of Canary has recently implemented a large number of activities which started with the intention to show the Silbo Gomero as an artistic source and to encourage scientific research on this whistled language. One of the most significant measures taken by General Direction for Cooperation and Cultural Patrimony has to do with a proposal to UNESCO in order to consider the Silbo Gomero as a Master Piece of the Oral and Intangible World Heritage.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/5107/PS030107.pdf 1695-7121-moises.plasenciamartin@gobiernodecanarias.org!?D!Rodríguez Darias, Alberto Jonay 2007jDesarrollo, gestión de áreas protegidas y población local.

As a consequence, the number of designated natural protected areas in the world has considerably grown in the past decades. Declaring these areas as protected also restricts the use of their natural resources. Such restrictions can stand in the way of the social and economic development of communities that have lived in these now protected territories for centuries and relied on their wealth to survive. Therefore, it is a challenge for the international community to encourage the local population to take part in the planning and management of protected areas and to strengthen the potential development of these areas.0www.pasosonline.org/Publicados/5107/PS020107.pdf 1695-7121jonayalberto@yahoo.es ?K
