If we want to study an area of tourist interest for bringing it under the concept of Eco-tourism, what parameters should be selected? Or what aspect we have to study and analyse? What changes are expected to convert tourism in to Eco-tourism?
Relevant answer
Answer
Ecotourism can be defined by three core criteria: nature, learning and sustainability. The ecotourist market has been segmented by the nature and learning criteria only. It has been assumed that ecotourists are environmentally concerned and therefore sustainability is a factor in their decision-making. However, little empirical research has confirmed this assumption. This study surveyed 243 respondents participating in an ecotourism experience in Australia. It identified ecotourists according to the nature and learning criteria as per previous segmentation studies. Pro-environmental attitudes were measured as an indication of their support for sustainability. Results revealed no significant differences in pro-environmental attitudes between those identified as ecotourists and those considered non-ecotourists. While demand exists for nature and learning experiences, compliance with the sustainability criterion seems to be no more a factor in ecotourist decision-making than for mainstream tourists. Implications are that market segmentation research should consider all relevant criteria when segmenting a market for a particular product to ensure supply matches demand. However, demand for certain products can be created by innovative marketing practices. This would enable the ecotourism industry to respond to the market's demand for nature and learning, but also influence the behaviour and structure of the market with regard to sustainability.

My research paper deals with use conflicts in tourism (such as conflicts over natural ressources, social conflicts due to tourism), and I'm trying to find some articles / books about the creation of these conflicts. I would like to focus on one part on the fact that maybe some conflicts existed before the development of tourism, and tourism made them worst. I am wondering if tourism is not more like  the straw that broke the camels back,  than the real reason that provoked the emergence of conflicts.

How to assess tourism potential of an unexplored region, had unique cultural practices, tradition & heritage in ancient time. At present, most of the reference for the region available in ancient text only along with few cultural practices and attractions.
Please help me to understand investigation procedure and way to assess potential for the region. 
Thank you very much!
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Abinash,
In this instance explore natural and anthropogenic resources. The methodology for assessing the potential of the destination through cultural and historical tourism resources selected it is assessed on the following criteria:
• capacity (potential power) development, consistent with the factors and conditions for the development of resources;
• stage of impact / influence - unique experiences to assess the level of attractiveness and appeal;
• temp of change (as a result of tourism) - evaluation of usefulness / value / importance of the tourist attraction;
Necessary criteria to take into account the position (viewpoint) of concrete character/form, specificity tourist destination and opportunities for practical application of the research results. These criteria should make a reply to expected trends and dynamics in the behavior of tourists, namely:
1. The trend in consumer demand last in time;
2. Increasing demand from tourists to quality, authenticity, attractiveness and variety / range of tourist services;
3. Increasing demands of tourists to the quality of technical infrastructure, tourist site and the material base of tourism, offering specific services, example: architecturally-minded visitors and needs of tourists;
4. Directing preferences of tourists in the country to destinations and places that offer security, safety and secondly to specialized forms of tourism - cultural, eco- and rural, adventure, etc .;
5. Increase the proportion of children and young people, especially students in cultural and educational tourism, travel to explore other countries, communities and people;
6. Increasing role of information and communication systems in hotels and tourism businesses in relation to demand, planning and implementation of tourism trips;
7. Increasing the share of the adult population in tourism or participation of people from the "third age" in tourist trips.

I am doing my thesis on developing a system dynamics model to simulate interdependence of tourism, impacts on environment, and burden on urban services. As tourists visit a city, they burden urban services. If municipal bodies don't provide satisfactory level of urban services, tourists are less likely to visit the place. But, if services are well maintained, tourists may increase until some other aspects of the place are burdened enough to discourage tourism (a feedback effect).
But, for the simulation model, I need to have a quantitative  relationship between urban services (mainly water supply, sanitation, and MSW) and tourism attractiveness. I am planning to conduct a survey from tourists to know how quality of each of these services affect overall tourist arrivals.
I am finding it difficult to design the survey that can help me find the quantitative relationship for the model.
Relevant answer
Answer
In addition to the water supply, sanitation, and MSW, perhaps, availability of hotels & motels, reliable public transportation system, food services, places to see (historical places), arts, and museums may be considered. Reliable air transportation at a reasonable cost may also be something to consider. It is a given fact people will not travel to unsafe environment.

Many types of tourism attempt to be helpful to the poor, volunteer tourism, slum tourism, and community tourism as examples. How do these really affect those dealing with urban poverty? Which model is better, or do we need a new model?
Relevant answer
Answer
You've received some very good suggestions re a form of tourism specifically involving poor people or poor communities as objects or destinations.  However, I think that in most large cities there is more opportunity for poor people to make a livelihood from conventional tourism through training and loans/grants for microenterprise development.  Many tourism related jobs are relatively low skill (though low paid) and may be accessible to the poor with some modest help.

Delivery of the thesis that the space produced by tourism is larger than the space produced by tourists and seek to prove this from the mapping of the territorial network produced by other social tourism agents: workers, businesses, government and resident population in tourist destinations .
At this early stage of research, I am conducting a literature review on the commuting of tourism workers, especially those related to lodging facilities in general.

I am working on impact of tourism on locals, study area is forest and the villages that are involved in tourism are not exploiting forest much as compared to the villages that are not touristic. So, I am planning to collect data from locals through some tricky question in order to get data of forest exploitation. It is expected that people who are involved in tourism directly or indirectly are not exploiting forest. Can anybody help me?
Relevant answer
Answer
Aon,
Important will be the definition of "exploit", from a tourism perspective. Your questionnaire would need to include categories of exploitation, ie use of wood for firewood, impact on forest due to transport or traveling  (transport physical damage, hiker impact), forest impact as result of pollution, construction or building impact, biodiversity influences, etc. correlating these with tourist and non-tourist activities.

If you want to do some research on any topic in the countries where there is more terrorism, decrease in the arrivals is mainly due to terrorism, due to which other variables results are biased. How to control it?
Relevant answer
Answer
I agree with Paul:
1. Use time-series data preferably over a sufficiently long period of time (prior to the terrorism threat/incidences). Preferably built around the tourism cycle most relevant to your research problem (i.e. 1 year)
2.Note the volatility (e.g.in arrival) due to seasonality effects, and "discount"/adjust  it for the time-series data. This should provide the baseline series for comparison with the time-series after the terrorism threat.
3.Consider  time-series over the same duration as in point 1 that is after the terrorism threat). Note the seasonality volatility. And assuming that your targeted tourism cycle is 1 year it would also be good to consider that particular year when the terrorism occur and how it affected the arrival/other variables
4. Compare and contrast the seasonality effects from the time-series discussed in point 2. with that of point 3.
5.You should be able to isolate/control for the "terrorism effect"
6. This is still a very rough and dirty approach, to fine-tune it perhaps consider Granger causality and co-integration tests.  This is partly to control for "percolating factors".   Do a Google search with the following query search string: "granger causality and cointegration tourism terrorism filetype:pdf" 
7. Other considerations: example when post-terrorism policies design to mitigate the threat that actually augmented the arrivals, and other similar positive/negative feedback loops in the system. You may need to consider a systems approach to this.

Hello, I am looking for good academic works on tourism and environment. 
Relevant answer
Answer
This is a rich area of literature and the Journal of Sustainable Tourism is obviously one place where you should look for material as mentioned above. If you are not familiar with tourism the top four journals (in alphabetical order,  as measured by SSCI Impact Factors are Annals of Tourism Research, Journal of Sustainable Tourism, Journal of Travel Research and Tourism Management. I would suggest you look at the publishers databases (Elsevier Science Direct, Taylor and Francis and Sage), enter key words and then look at the articles. The reference lists will take you other key journals (e.g. Current Issues in Tourism).  Some key authors in this area would include Stefan Gossling, David Scott, Richard Tol, Susanne Becken (again in no particular order).  For a general introductory text book see relevant chapters in my own book (sorry about this self advertising - but I still think these are good chapters - 'Recreational Tourism – impacts and demand', Clevedon: Channel View Press.2003 while Mike Hall has published while I also like Natural area tourism: Ecology, impacts and management by Dowling, Newsome  and Moore - also published by Channel View Press (I think I have the order of the authors correct - but I may be wrong here).  
You will find plenty of material this way - and if published in reputable journals you will probably find the authors and their work in Research Gate. Happy hunting

This example is more complex because I mean "normal" archeological sites, where there is no need to pay for entrance and tourism facilities don't exist or are represented only by educational table and the like. Also, the local community isn't usually aware of the existence of these sites.
I would like to assess the tourism potential of unrealized archeological resources. I can say that it has influence for regional tourism to offer, because sites development widens it. But it is only a statement, which can be formulated without any research...

Whereas I would like to take into consideration only one type of attractions (archaeological sites), which are completely undeveloped and I want to prove/disapprove hypothesis that: if we develop tourism on this sites, it will influences on sustainability in the region.

When the alternative is the secular underdevelopment, socio-environmental impact assessment for future tourist destinations remain like a "good practice dictate". Nevertheless, this assessment could be the only way for a sustainable and integrated develop of particular areas of inland; or in underdeveloped countries. One of my studies shows that local communities, at the begining of these processes, wait for tourism like for "maná" (meal); impacts are considered when they appear. Some other experiences?
Relevant answer
Answer
I will try to answer by presenting a response I already gave on the same topic. I think that the analysis of socio-ecological tourism-based systems requires new, qualitatively different evaluation schemes that enable an integrated assessment of ecological, social, and economic factors through the use of appropriate indicators related to the ecosystem service concept. People, indeed, begin to understand more clearly that human societies are dependent on the ‘services’’and ‘‘functions’’ provided by the earth’s physical, chemical and biological systems. Ecosystem services include the production of goods (seafood, timber, and precursor to many industrial and pharmaceutical products), basic life-support processes (pollination, water purification, and climate regulation), life-fulfilling conditions (serenity, beauty, and cultural inspiration), preservation of options (conserving genetic and species diversity for future use), and the assimilation of waste products (Daily, 1997). Nature-based tourism is strongly dependent on the quality of the environment more than any other form of tourism. Even eco-tourism, however benign it may be, will have some impacts on the environment (see e.g. Modelling socio-ecological tourism-based systems for sustainability), and therefore it requires management and control like any other resource exploitation activity. The amount by which resources are exploited is a critical tourism parameter because tourism must satisfy two constraints at the same time. First, ecological quality and integrity of resources must be maintained, to make sure they remain attractive to tourists as well as to residents (see e.g. Indicating fragility of socio-ecological tourism-based systems) . Second, the quality of recreational experience by tourists must be maintained, and this is based not only on the quality of natural environment, but also on the levels and the nature of interactions between groups of users and residents and their perception of environmental quality (see e.g. People perception of landscape change effects on ecosystem services in small Mediterranean islands....). Thus cost benefit analysis of tourism development should address such evaluation scheme based on ecosystem services and be oriented and controlled by people perception.
