“…Bill Bramwell and his collaborators (e.g. Bramwell, 2004;Bramwell & lane, 2000;Bramwell & Sharman, 1999;medieros de Araujo & Bramwell, 2002) and Getz (1995, 1999) are among those influenced by this turn in planning theory. These authors highlight the importance of involving diverse stakeholders in participatory processes of consensus-building and partnership formation (Bramwell & lane, 2000: 1) and acknowledge the benefits of collaborative planning, especially in terms of promoting collective learning, capacity-building, discussion, and mutual learning.…”

“…Drawing from these theoretical developments, community tourism planning and policymaking is increasingly characterised by dynamic multi-actor interactions, complex power differentials and uneven resource and information exchange between actors and agencies (e.g. Bramwell, 2004;Hall & Jenkins, 1995;Selin & Beason, 1991;Truly Sautter & leisen, 1999). With respect to tourism planning, two overlapping areas of theoretical writings have emerged as a result of these roader trends in social science literature.…”

“…In reality, however, the planning process is frequently characterised by conflict and messy decisionmaking. Powerful groups can form coalitions to dominate the process (Bramwell, 2004). The labelling and categorisation of problems can obscure real issues and serve to divert attention from essential issues (Jamal et al, 2002).…”

This paper develops critical understandings of the theoretical and practical implications of local tourism policy networks on collaborative planning. Application of the network concept in tourism has increased in recent years but has largely been focused on the competitive advantages of network organisation for small and medium size tourism enterprises. Critical discussion and development of the theoretical and operational dimensions of networks as a management approach beyond economic development has been limited. It is argued that network theory provides a useful lens for understanding the structures and social interrelations between government, tourism producers and civil society and, as such, has the potential to inform collaborative destination management policy and practice. This paper examines the contributions that networks can make in understanding collaborative planning, and how this knowledge may be able to improve collaborative planning practice.

“…In the tourism context, effective local governance arrangements empower local participation and ownership of policy actions and initiatives and provide a forum for information sharing, discussion, negotiation and learning. (Bramwell, 2004;Bramwell & Lane, 2008). Effective local governance is therefore a central element of an holistic and balanced approach to sustainable tourism (United Nations Environment Programme, 2003).…”

Abstract:There is an absence of knowledge about the advantages and disadvantages of different local tourism governance approaches. Consequently, experimenting with different modes of local tourism governance is increasingly common. This paper addresses this knowledge gap by investigating the ways in which three different local tourism governance networks operate, and the effects of this governance on local tourism policy. The three local tourism networks examined are a council-led network governance structure, a participant-led community network governance structure, and a local tourism organisation (LTO)-led industry network governance structure. The study found that these governance arrangements were underpinned by four key trade-offs and that these tended to shape the effectiveness of local tourism governance. The significance of this paper is that it opens up discussion about local tourism governance, highlights the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches, and reflects on their relevance to sustainable tourism management. The findings can inform local councils interested in improving their local organisation of tourism, and spur further research.

“…Moreover, the focus of such 'cultural mediation' may be on the internal promotion of domestic tourism to places deemed to be of national significance as a means of constructing and maintaining nationalism (Palmer, 1999 Moreover, powerful groups can form coalitions to dominate the planning process (Bramwell, 2004). It should be recognised that a number of government strategies may have considerable influence over tourism policy.…”

This study analyses the Chinese government's involvement in Red Tourism, with a special focus on the government's political intentions in conveying messages at Red Tourism sites, and, critically, how tourists respond to the messages presented there. There are two separate identifiable phases in the development of Red Tourism since 2004. The first phase is from 2004 to 2010 and the second one is from 2011 to 2015.
