“…A lot of literature says that cultural tourism can bring positive impacts, including to alleviate poverty (Anderson, 2015), cultural conservation (Yun & Zhang, 2015), develop the economy and diversify livelihoods (Loukaitou-Sideris & Sourelli, 2012;Mbaiwa & Sakuze, 2009), and empowering vulnerable indigenous communities, both culturally and ecologically (Wallace & Russell, 20014;Carr et al, 2016). All of these positive impacts can be obtained through a number of strategies such as appropriate cultural and market-based approaches (Peters, et al, 2011;Kastenholz et al, 2013;Herrero-Prieto & Gómez-Vega, 2017;Mokoena, 2019), good and innovative management (Liu & Chen, 2014;Cetin & Bilginan, 2014;Martínez-Pérez, et al, 2018), and creative marketing (Kantanen & Tikkanen, 2006;Pennington & Thomsen, 2010;Font & McCabe, 2017). However, the government also has economic interest in designing and running various cultural tourism programs.…”

This article aims to explore the concept and practice of neo-exoticism as an ideal-flexible formula for developing ethnic arts in the midst post-colonial society and neoliberal tourism industry. By analyzing our field data from various events of cultural tourism in Banyuwangi, East Java, Indonesia, we will elaborate some concepts and practices of neo-exoticism. We adopt and develop the idea of neo-exoticism from the concept of "post-colonial exotic" by Huggan (2001), which describes the contestation between the desire of intellectuals and activists to preserve traditional cultures continuously as a significant marker for national identity and the state's policy to incorporate the beauty of exotic cultures into commercial activities. The framework will help us to analyze primary data from participatory observation in cultural tourism activities in Banyuwangi and interview with some folk artists from 2012-2019 as well as secondary data from online news media. The result of this study shows that the neo-exoticism formula in the development of ethnic arts has several advantages. For the state regime, this formula makes local government easy for repackaging ethnic artistic richness in the form of tourism products such as carnival, festival, spectacular event, and collaborative performance. Indeed, the artists and residents will benefit through their cultural participation, but the investors in tourism with neoliberal flexible principles which incorporate exotic characteristics into their services will get greater profits. However, the neo-exoticism formula will not have a major impact on ethnic arts that still follow the traditional standard performances.

“…Culture is not only a tourism resource from a supply perspective but also a psychological need of tourists from a demand perspective [30]. The attributes and behaviors of cultural tourists are of primary concern from a tourism demand point of view.…”

Cultural tourism has received widespread attention for its role in promoting cultural heritage and economic growth. However, there is insufficient research regarding how to verify the synergy between culture and tourism and how to ensure its sustainability in the integration of the cultural and tourism industries (CTI). This study establishes an interdisciplinary composite analytical framework from the perspective of efficiency evaluation. China, a country that has advocated the integration of CTI since 2009, is the research setting. The findings indicate that the technical efficiency of the tourism industry has increased significantly since the involvement of the cultural industry. Meanwhile, economically underdeveloped regions have opportunities to catch up with developed regions in terms of technical efficiency, and they perform better in terms of sustainable productivity growth. Importantly, U-shaped and inverted U-shaped curves were found in the coordinate systems composed of groups comprising the coupling coordination degree and the efficiency-related index, respectively. This finding reveals the existence of a running-in effect in the integration process of CTI, thereby contributing to both theory and policy-making.Sustainability 2019, 11, 6607 2 of 20 arts, design, fashion, new media)" [8]. Thus, currently, the integration of culture and tourism is spreading and is omnipresent, and destinations rich in cultural and tourism resources usually have a high degree of consistency or overlap in the market [1,9,10]. Exploring and evaluating the synergy between culture and tourism is conducive to enhancing theoretical understanding, promoting joint marketing, and inspiring policy-making. However, there is still insufficient research regarding how to verify this synergy and how best to sustain it during the integration of the culture and tourism industries (CTI). Quantitative research in the related field only focuses on a single sector from an efficiency evaluation perspective [11][12][13] or on the degree of coupling coordination between them [14]; it is still rare to regard culture and tourism as industries and explore the synergy between them from an interdisciplinary point of view.By regarding the CTI together as a complete system or black box, in this study we established a composite evaluation framework consisting of three dimensions from the perspective of efficiency evaluation, to measure the technical efficiency, sustainable productivity growth, and coupling coordination degree. Specifically, the slacks-based measure (SBM) model of data envelopment analysis (DEA), the Malmquist index of total factor productivity (TFP), and the coupling coordination degree model were applied in the research. We further examined the impact of the cultural industry on efficiency and compared the relationships between various outcomes.This study utilized data from 31 Chinese provinces and regions from 2010 to 2016. There are several reasons why China is an ideal setting to study these issues. First, China is one of the world'...
