The role of a national park in classifying mountain tourism destinations: An exploratory study of the Italian Western Alps

Together with the main aim of preserving nature,national parks are also expected to play an important role for the local communities,driving economic activities toward the lens of sustainable development.This contribution aims to present an exploratory study on the relationship between the presence of a protected mountain area,the Gran Paradiso National Park(GPNP),in the North West of the Italian Alps,and the classification of tourism destinations,according to Weaver model of destination management.Starting from the model,the authors provide a quantitative analysis using a set of variables and indicators to comprehensively assess the differing patterns assumed by the municipalities within the borders of the GPNP and those that are not.The provisional results illustrate that the municipalities within the border of a protected area are more likely to be grouped alongside the sustainable mountain destinations.Meanwhile,research outcomes confirm that a protected area does not necessarily contrast the tourism industry but instead may boost local development by driving it within the borders of the sustainable development,switching from the area’s only preservation function to a flywheel for the local communities.

Seasonal Differences in Visitor Perceptions: A Comparative Study of Three Mountainous National Parks in Central Europe

This paper compares the views and attitudes of visitors to three key mountain national parks and Biosphere Reserves: Sumava National Park (Sumava NP, Czech Republic), Krkonose National Park (KRNAP, Czech Republic) and Karkonoski Park Narodowy (KPN, Poland). A large numbers of people visit these destinations both in the summer (e.g. hikers and cyclists) and in the winter (e.g. hikers and skiers), which threatens sustainability and creates problems regarding the management of these areas. A comprehensive understanding of visitor use, including visitors’ attitudes and perceptions, is fundamental for effective park management. Most research in these national parks is carried out during the summer season, therefore different results in the winter season are expected. Using a standardised socio-environmental survey we attempt to find seasonal differences between visitors and their opinions. A total of 2252 questionnaires were gathered. There were 13 common questions for these three national parks, three of them yielded significantly different results between the two seasons (visitors’ nationality, type of accommodation and financial costs). Other differences were detected in one or two national parks.

边境旅游对国家安全的影响机理研究——基于韧性视角

作为“兴边富民”的重要方式,边境旅游带动经济发展的同时,也对边境地区国家安全产生深刻影响。在韧性视角下,边境旅游影响表现为边境社会文化韧性、边境生态环境韧性和边境经济发展韧性;边境旅游对国家安全的影响过程存在“边境地区开放—地方韧性损耗”的逻辑;在以去边界化、去边缘化和去地方化为主的边境地区开放作用下,边境旅游导致以吸收力、适应力和恢复力为主的地方韧性渐变,产生安全冗余、安全均衡和安全滞后3种安全态势。应从开放适度、韧性强化和态势评估3方面入手,以应对边境旅游产生的国家安全风险。

老龄化对新兴国家出境旅游需求的影响——基于跨国样本的实证

人口老龄化是二战以来世界人口变化的最大特征之一,对经济和社会领域的影响深远,对旅游业的发展既是机遇又是挑战。文章以1995—2019年20个新兴国家的数据为样本,采用双向固定效应模型,实证研究老龄化对出境旅游需求的影响及其异质性特征,并探究了国家文化价值观的调节效应。研究发现:1)老龄化对出境旅游需求有正向影响;2)不同年龄阶段的老年人对出境旅游的影响存在异质性,不同老龄化程度的新兴国家对出境旅游需求的影响存在异质性;3)国家文化价值观对老年人出境旅游需求有显著的调节作用。其中,不确定性规避程度、个人主义削弱了老龄化对出境旅游需求的正向作用;高权力距离、男性主义、长期主义加强了老龄化对出境旅游需求正向作用。该研究结果将为推进新兴国家银发旅游市场的开发、完善配套政策提供参考依据。
