“…as the most important decade for formulating policies on tourism', still very little has been written about tourism as public policy; the special issue of Current Issues in Tourism on 'Tourism Policy Making: Theory and Practice' (Jenkins, 2001b) being a welcome exception and a reflection of stronger attention paid to the political analysis of tourism more recently (e.g. Bieger, 2000;Chambers & Airey, 2001;Church et al, 2000;Dredge, 2001;Greuter, 2000;Jenkins, 2001a;Kerr et al, 2001;Lovelock, 2001;Michael, 2001;Michael & Plowman, 2002;Pforr, 2000Pforr, , 2001aPforr, , 2001bPforr, , 2002Puppim de Oliveira, 2003;Tyler & Dinan, 2001). However, the increasing consideration of tourism policy issues by the political administrative system as well as by the tourism industry still demands a much greater focus on the political nature of tourism development and especially on studies devoted to the tourism policy process.…”

The main emphasis of this paper is directed to the interplay of three conceptual perspectives to the study of tourism public policy. To understand the tourism policy process in general, from demands via the policy-making system to outputs and feedback, Easton's model (1965) of the political system is employed as a basic conceptual framework. With the adoption of a temporal dimension, which takes into account the dynamics of the tourism policy process, the policy cycle model is then applied as a heuristic structural frame. As an additional, third level of analysis the policy network concept is then discussed. This approach identifies the various and multiple ways in which the actors participate in tourism policy-making as well as the complexity of their interactions. It is argued that the interplay of these three models provides an adequate methodological framework, particularly process-oriented in focus, to better understand the complexity of tourism policy-making. The case study of the specific geographical and social formation of the Northern Territory of Australia illustrates the usefulness of this analytical approach.

“…According to Dredge and Jenkins (2003a), the state must re-work its policy position and support local and regional organisations. Tourism development is constrained when responsibilities for tourism development remain scattered (Church et al, 2000). Thus, there is need to review the system of governance in a twin-island state scenario with two different economic drivers, one an oil industry and the other based on tourism.…”

“…Public policy determination is not an exact science and is spread across several government institutions (Hall, 1994;Hall and Jenkins, 1995;Pearce, 1996;Church et al, 2000;Tyler and Dinan, 2001;Kerr, 2003;Kerr et al, 2001). According to Kerr (2003), public policy determination is the focal point of government activity.…”

Abstract:The purpose of this paper is to report on an exploratory study of the role that tourism policy plays in influencing tourism development. The research is based on two questions: How does tourism policy influence tourism development in the small twin-island state of Trinidad and Tobago? and How does an arrangement of dual governance in a small twin-island state promote tourism development? The exploration demonstrates that tourism development in the context of Tobago, the smaller of the two islands, has been slowed as a result of dual governance and hence dual policy arrangements.

“…A detailed history of England's tourism policy between the 1920s and the 1980s can be found in Richards (1995) and up to the present day in Church et al (2000). However, for the purposes of this paper, a history of the policy landscape is given from 1969 when the first significant piece of national tourism legislation was introduced.…”

The role of interested groups within English tourism policy development has increased considerably in recent years. There are several possible explanations for this, including changing government policy styles, the perception of the importance of tourism to the national economy, and the developing sophistication of a tourism policy network. This paper reviews the role of interested groups and the nature of tourism policy development in England within the context of a theoretical discussion on public policy analysis, policy styles and policy networks. It specifically reports on the relationship between the tourism interest groups and government, and the mechanisms used by them to influence policy development. The paper shows that the tourism policy network can be characterisedas immature. It has government at its centre directing strategic policy, with two sub-networks concentrating on the detail of commercial tourism and tourism resource policy. Within these sub-networks are dominant and secondary players defined as such by the manner in which they use their resources, gain access to decision-makers, collaborate with like-minded groups and work with government bureaucracy.
