“…Following the division of the island in 1974, arrivals fell to less than 20,000 in 1975 (Akis et al 1996). Since then, as discussed shortly, tourist arrivals have gradually increased, reaching almost 183,300 by 1998 (Warner 1999). Moreover, in 1996 earnings from tourism reached $US175.6 million, representing 23 per cent of GNP (Kibris 1998).…”

“…In particular, development has been both rapid and spatially concentrated in the south coast resorts between Paphos in the west and Agia Napa/Protaras in the east (Figure 1).

Although arrivals in the TRNC have increased over the last decade, numbers remain low in comparison to the south; furthermore, over 65 per cent of arrivals in 1998 were from the Turkish mainland and were, in effect, 'domestic' arrivals.…”

“…Similarly, in 1998 bed capacity in the TRNC totalled 8,500, representing a 150 per cent increase since 1977. However this remains less than one tenth of the total number of licensed bedspaces in the Republic, whilst the average occupancy rate, at 37 per cent in 1998, also remains low (Warner 1999). A number of commentators have addressed the challenges of tourism development in the TRNC, arising primarily from its political isolation (Lockhart 1994;Akis and Warner 1994;Altinay and Biçak 1998;Warner 1999).…”

Islands have long been popular tourist destinations, their physical and climatic characteristics combining with the less tangible elements of 'island-ness' to create a special allure for tourists. As a result, many islands have turned to tourism as a means of social and economic development, with tourism frequently becoming the dominant economic sector. However, such a reliance on tourism has proved to be problematic for many island destinations, frequently re ecting the centreperiphery dependency model of development. As this paper demonstrates, Cyprus is no exception. Since the 1960s and despite internal political turmoil, the island has grown into a popular Mediterranean summer sun destination. At the same time, tourism has provided the foundation for rapid and successful economic growth, but the island has also become increasingly dependent upon tourism and upon a small number of major markets and tour operators. Nevertheless, as the paper argues, signi cant opportunities exist for the future development of tourism in Cyprus. In particular, whilst there is an evident need for more effective planning and control at the national level, it is suggested that, contrary to conventional wisdom (and current Cyprus tourism policy), efforts should be made not to diversify but to consolidate and strengthen existing core markets.

“…In order to attract visitors, dark places must be packaged, promoted, priced and positioned, just like any other product or service " (p. 198). However, despite the growing popularity of ghost tourism, it is still best regarded as special interest tourism (Dunkley et al, 2011;Warner, 1999), where Q u a l i t a t i v e M a r k e t R e s e a r c h 3 market appeal and product delivery requires more than the standard marketing template used to market mainstream tourist activities.…”

PurposeGhost tours are an important part of tourism in many towns and cities around the world.Described as light dark tourism, they are a mix of the macabre and entertainment. Ghost tours are usually small business enterprises. In order for their venture to be sustainable, ghost tour operators must engage in effective entrepreneurial marketing practices. This study aims to evaluate the extent to which ghost tour operators employ entrepreneurial marketing within their business. Design/methodology/approachA qualitative bricolage approach is utilised as a way to explore the use of entrepreneurial marketing practices within ghost tourism; that is, a niche tourism product. Data were collected using 21 in-depth interviews, participant observation and analysis of venture websites. This study employed a two-stage data analysis procedure. FindingsFindings reveal that ghost tour operators practice several dimensions of entrepreneurial marketing that are often simultaneously present and interwoven through the practices ghost tour operators use, as identified by thematic analysis. Originality/valueThis study adds an entrepreneurial marketing lens to the light dark tourism literature.
