“…Many participants commented on their greater knowledge of, and appreciation for, the island as a result of local tourism, which for some included an increased sense of belonging. Adams (1998) suggests that Indonesian domestic tourists seek to explore a deeper understanding about their own national identity in this way. Hence, research on the Isle of Man agrees with judgements that domestic tourism can be associated with deepening collective identity and understanding (Archer, 1978), rather than the more individualistic associations of international tourism (Wheeler, 1993, Adams, 1998.…”

Although socio-psychological factors were the most common motivation, as described, cultural factors were thus shown to exist also.…”

This paper presents a case concerning micro-domestic tourism on the Isle of Man, BritishIsles. Despite being a small island, research highlights that considerable domestic tourism occurs (referred to as micro-domestic tourism to reflect the small island size and distinguish from wider British Isles tourism), including daytrips and overnight stays. Participants identified such behaviour as touristic, and distinct from other leisure activities. Qualitative interviews with residents explore the nature of and reasons for micro-domestic tourism within a small island. Breaks from routine, entertaining friends and family, and exploring less well known landscapes, are shown to underpin. Highlighted, is that micro-domestic tourism has a variety of potential benefits, which may counter some of the restrictions typically faced by a small island community. Support for an otherwise ailing tourism industry may help to protect facilities and infrastructure used by the wider community, maintain tourism capacity, and provide atmosphere attractive to foreign visitors.

“…Vargas (dos Santos Filho, 2008), Indonesia (Adams, 1998) and India (Hannam and Diekmann, 2011) have encouraged domestic tourism, not so much for its economic value, but rather as 'a mechanism for national integration and nation building' (ibid:…”

A mobilities approach to tourism from emerging world regions

Increasing numbers of people from the emerging world regions, Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East engage in tourism practices at domestic, intra-regional and long-haul international scales. In this article we deploy an innovative application of the mobilities approach, which we argue moves beyond the Eurocentrism implicit in modernist tourism studies, in a comparative analysis of tourism in and from these regions and those in the 'West'. Our analysis opens up the systematic study of tourism in emerging world regions in terms of the mobilities paradigm, and concludes: one, travel had a multiplicity of origins in societies in the emerging regions, but most did not possess an equivalent emic term to 'tourism.' Two, tourism at domestic and intraregional levels tends to be entangled with other discretionary mobilities, whereas the long-haul level is more differentiated. Three, the development of domestic discretionary travel in emerging regions can be represented by four overlapping 'mobility constellations'. Four, there are significant historical differences between the regions in their long-haul mobility constellations, although their kinetic hierarchies are all still steep. Five, forms of movement and associated practices of discretionary travellers from the emerging regions and Western countries became increasingly similar under the impact of socio-technological, economic and cultural globalisation. Six, differences between the emerging regions, particularly Asia, and the West are most salient on the emic level of representations of international travel: the specific cultural motive forces for tourism do not centre on authenticity-seeking, but are instead bound up with prestige and markers of modernity.

“…In this context, social scientists of the advocacy persuasion might ask how might tourism researchers contribute towards a more ethical development in the industry? With the rare exception of Kathleen Adams (1998), hardly any scholar has seriously addressed the issue of tourism's contribution to nation-building beyond the economic imperatives. Over the past decade or so, academic researchers have gradually turned to the numeric key performance index (KPI)-based initiatives using somewhat formulaic research designs with a template in mind for publishing co-authored papers.…”

Returning home: A reflection on the Malaysian practice of balik kampung

This paper explores the Malaysian practice of balik kampung or return to hometown, as a category of domestic travel. Although this is an important social practice which is generally valorized by most Malaysians and is potentially an emergent element in national integration, there is scarcely any specific policy or research initiative that addresses this potential. At the global level, most if not all societies, experience this category of mobility both at the international and domestic levels. Yet in terms of research coverage this return-to-hometown phenomenon seems neglected. Through personal reflections and 'auto-ethnography' I shall first describe balik kampung as a social event, its significance and structural characteristics, before analyzing its evolution in terms of form, function and significance attached to the practice.
