Sostenibilidad, patrimonio cultural, turismo y participación. Lineamientos para la gestión de un pueblo indígena en Argentina

Social & Cultural
2021
La sustentabilidad en la provincia de San Luis (Argentina) con eje en la salvaguardia del patrimonio cultural ha sido parte de los objetivos de la agenda política desde comienzos del siglo XXI. En este marco jugaron un papel central las poblaciones indígenas, para las cuales se efectuaron programas de restitución de tierras y construcción de viviendas con el in de promover su reactivación cultural. En este contexto, por medio de un estudio cualitativo, basado en la realización de entrevistas, observaciones participantes y relevamiento de fuentes documentales, se analiza el caso de construcción de Pueblo Ranquel, un asentamiento de familias indígenas rankülches, inaugurado en 2009 cuyo surgimiento, orientado a la promoción turística, fue promovido principalmente desde sectores gubernamentales. El objetivo inal de este trabajo es presentar una serie de lineamientos que emergen del análisis del caso y de una relexión teórico-metodológica sobre la importancia de la participación de los distintos actores involucrados en las políticas culturales.

Indigenous tourism and the sustainable development goals

Management
2021
This research aims to identify opportunities for the tourism industry to effectively address the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in ways that respect Indigenous priorities and support development aspirations of Indigenous peoples. We do so via case studies of Indigenous tourism among small-medium sized enterprises in Fiji, Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. The research finds that the Indigenous tourism enterprises operated in the spirit of many of the SDGs, even when they had low awareness of these goals. It also finds that Indigenous values and lifeways – such as appreciation of the intrinsic connection between nature and culture correspond with the SDG agenda, and could be used to further advance this agenda in ways that benefit Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.

Destination Mutual Benefit: A Guide to Inclusive Business in Tourism

Management
The guide maps out the opportunities and demonstrates why working together makes sense for companies as well as for communities. Certainly, there are challenges for both as they explore these new paths. But companies willing to take the risk can reap the considerable rewards of being able to offer a more authentic, attractive, friendly and efficient tourism experience. A variety of public and private partners stand ready as travel companions and guides for this endeavour. And some pioneers are clearing the way: The nine case studies that accompany the guide provide inspiring examples if tourism companies that have already achieved mutual benefits with local communities and low-income people.
We invite all companies from the tourism sector, including hotels, restaurants, tour operators, souvenir makers and shops, transport companies and many others to join us on this journey.

Gestión del turismo comunitario en el sector indígena de la provincia de Chimborazo caso: La Moya

Management
2020
El turismo comunitario en Ecuador no ha tenido el éxito esperado por diversos factores culturales y coyunturales, por ello se realizó un análisis de la gestión del turismo comunitario La Moya en un sector indígena de la provincia de Chimborazo, tomado como estudio de caso al emprendimiento de la comunidad La Moya, cuyo objetivo fue analizar la situación actual a través de un mapa situacional, luego se realizó un análisis cualitativo que permitió determinar los puntos críticos en los procesos, mediante la matriz DAFO. En la metodología se escogió 35 personas hombres y mujeres mayores de 15 años que trabajan en el emprendimiento de turismo comunitario, de quienes se obtuvo información utilizando herramientas como el análisis situacional con la matriz DAFO. Los resultados permitieron evidenciar que los limitantes de la gestión del turismo comunitario en la Moya son de carácter operativo y administrativo, lo que conlleva a tomar acciones correctivas estableciendo funciones por puestos de trabajo para evitar el desvió de recursos materiales.

BC Provincial Aboriginal Tourism Education & Training Program Handbook & Delivery Guidelines 2011-2012

Management
2011
This provincial resource handbook has been prepared to support the development of a strong Aboriginal tourism industry workforce in BC. Career opportunities in this area have increased since the unprecedented global attention on BC Aboriginal cultural tourism that occurred during the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The handbook presents a BC program delivery model for training and education programs at three different levels. It supports colleges and universities by presenting a set of provincial guidelines that build on lessons learned by institutions offering Aboriginal tourism programs, and by encouraging use of learning resources developed by the Aboriginal Tourism Association of BC (AtBC). It encourages institutions to share ideas resources, and collaborate in approaches to provincial delivery that would reduce duplication.
The guidelines have been inspired by the success of AtBC’s Trailblazers: Cultural Interpretation, a program that provides skills for employment to Aboriginal youth and career changers. The handbook provides a framework to connect this non-credit program, and others like it, to credit-based college/university tourism/hospitality education offerings.

AtBC Blueprint Strategy Tourism Performance Review 2006-2010

Management
2011
In 2005, the Aboriginal Tourism Association of BC (AtBC) completed the development of its Aboriginal Cultural Tourism Blueprint Strategy. With the support of the Government of Canada and Province of British Columbia, it began implementing that Strategy in 2006. The Strategy focused on strengthening and growing the Aboriginal cultural tourism industry in BC through three thematic tiers of activities that focused on: 1) Building awareness of cultural tourism opportunities; 2) Supporting product development through skills training, partnerships, and market readiness initiatives; and 3) Promoting products through a range of targeted marketing and communications programs (e.g., advertising, events, travel trade and media relations, and branding related to a unique Aboriginal Cultural Tourism Authenticity program). This report provides insights into Aboriginal tourism’s performance between 2006 and 2010, and describes those Strategy activities that have been especially influential in supporting the sector’s development during that period. It also forecasts prospects for Aboriginal tourism growth to 2012. These forecasts are based on anticipated trends in tourist flows to BC, tour operator views on Aboriginal tourism prospects, and Aboriginal tourism operator perspectives on development opportunities.

FUTURE TRAVELLER TRIBES 2030: UNDERSTANDING TOMORROW’S TRAVELLER

Management
2015
In 2007, Amadeus commissioned a future-focused report on key consumer groups travelling in the year 2020. Outlined there were four significant demographic segments, or “tribes”, which were understood to be of increasing importance to brands within the aviation and travel sectors.
This report brings those tribes into the present, and projects them forward into 2030 with a greater focus on the wider travel ecosystem including airports, hotels, rail companies and travel agents. Our approach however differs significantly from that brought to the 2007 report. Where the previous tribes were demographically-based, the tribes described here are based on the values, behaviours and needs of travellers. We see evidence for the existence of these tribes already; in this report we express our expectations for how the size and makeup of these groups will change over the next 15 years. We have not discarded the original four tribes, but we have rebuilt them into new frameworks.
