“…For instance, Smith and Rosenthal (1997), in their study of Australian schoolies, found that both men (75.2%) and women (59.9%) reported getting drunk most or every day or night of the schoolies' week vacation. Likewise, Hesse et al (2008) found that young tourists to party resorts consume more drugs than other young people, and Josiam et al (1998) that many American youngsters are offered the opportunity to use new drugs during spring break. However, drinking and drug abuse have been identified as key accelerators of lawlessness and violence, e.g.…”

“…However, activities of young tourists, such as physical displays of affection and even making love in public, binge drinking, drug abuse, stripping and causing fights with other tourists and locals, often result in direct conflict with resident amenity as well as resistance, enmity and aggression of local residents towards incoming tourists. Among the limited references of community reactions to party tourism, Josiam et al (1998) assert that the relationship of spring breakers with communities visited has been strained and several popular American destinations have actively discouraged visitation of spring breakers.The behaviour of young Britons in party resorts has many similarities with young travelers of other western cultures. For instance, the findings of Hesse et al (2008) on Danish party tourists present many similarities with studies undertaken by Bellis et al (2000); (2003); (2004) (2009) argues modern western youth have a strong and unbending urge for excess and wildness.…”

Using a template analysis approach four themes emerged, namely binge drinking, sexual behaviour, risk taking and host reactions. These themes are discussed in relation to the methodology adopted, and the findings of previous research, and policies for risk-taking decrease, and solutions to reduce the problems posed by young tourists' antisocial behaviour in summer Greek resorts, are provided. Keywords: youth travel, antisocial behaviour, binge drinking, casual sex, risk taking, template analysis. IntroductionDuring the last two decades an increasing number of young tourists have travelled to international beach-oriented resorts to escape the boredom of routine life and to experience the nightlife. These young tourists often consider holidays as an opportunity to indulge in binge drinking, drug abuse, sexual promiscuity and other risk taking activities that depart from the established behaviours and routines of everyday life (Carr, 2002a;Ryan and Robertson, 1997). Given their gregarious social behaviour, young tourists are recognized as being a highly differentiated market segment (Ford and Eiser, 1996). This behaviour has led Shields (1990) to introduce the concept of liminality that refers to the temporary loss of social bearings of holidaymakers that often results in risks which contrast with the norms and values that shape behaviour in their home environment (Carr, 2002b;Ryan and Robertson, 1997;Ryan et al. 1996). Following the increased mobility of young tourists, numerous studies have been conducted. Despite the increasing research on young tourists' behaviour in beach-oriented party resorts, there is a relative paucity of research centred on the following key are...

“…Some researchers have called this phenomenon "behavioral inversion", 5,15 and it contributes towards suppressing personal limits and care, and favors abusive use of alcohol and drugs and unprotected sexual intercourse. 4,9 The region of the Ribeira valley, in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, began to attract tourists from the state and from other countries since the 1980s because of its natural spots (waterfalls, beaches, trails, caves, gorges, fauna and fl ora) and cultural attractions (historical centers, archeological sites and folkloric festivals). There are around 500 community-based environmental tourism monitors in the region and, for 60% of them, this is their principal occupation.…”

Vulnerabilidade ao HIV: turismo e uso de álcool e outras drogas

OBJETIVO: Descrever situações de uso de álcool e outras drogas envolvendo turistas, e suas implicações para a vulnerabilidade ao HIV. MÉTODOS: Estudo exploratório e qualitativo conduzido em comunidades anfitriãs do turismo do Vale do Ribeira, em São Paulo, no período de outubro de 2002 a fevereiro de 2003. A primeira etapa do estudo entrevistou 29 monitores de quatro comunidades anfitriãs para levantar cenas de uso drogas envolvendo turistas. A segunda etapa consistiu de duas oficinas de trabalho, reunindo 77 entrevistados e profissionais de saúde e educação de dez comunidades para dramatizar as cenas levantadas nas entrevistas, compartilhar repertórios para lidar com essas situações e conhecer as formas de prevenção do HIV. RESULTADOS: As cenas evidenciaram que o uso de álcool e outras drogas pelos turistas ampliam a vulnerabilidade à transmissão do HIV ao favorecer as relações sexuais ocasionais sem preservativo e o assédio e abuso sexual. O trabalho de prevenção ao HIV nas comunidades anfitriãs do turismo precisa levar em conta o consumo dessas substâncias, que dificulta a prática do sexo seguro e, no caso do uso de drogas injetáveis de forma compartilhada, constitui fator de risco para a transmissão do vírus. CONCLUSÕES: O estudo forneceu elementos para ajudar a compreender como situações de uso de álcool e outras drogas inserem-se no cotidiano das comunidades anfitriãs ampliando a vulnerabilidade ao HIV. O estudo produziu análise do contexto social de transmissão do vírus, que pode subsidiar a elaboração de programas de prevenção mais adequados a essas comunidades.

The young tourist: a case of neglected research

This paper reviews the state of the young tourist population and the research that has been conducted on the young tourist. It shows that despite the number of young people taking vacations they have generally been neglected by researchers. The separate and heterogeneous nature of this market segment is described. Its current size, economic significance, and potential for the future is highlighted. The lack of a standardised definition of what constitutes a young tourist and the implications of this for research are also discussed. Finally, it is suggested that a wide variety of research on the young tourist is still required. Copyright © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
