“…This does not imply that wildlife tourism attractions will necessarily fit suitably into the same frames of analysis as will a resort destination or even that all wildlife tourism attractions can be studied in the same way, but it does not exempt them from use of TALC. As Johnston (2001) notes, while the destination concept is based on a destination with particular attributes, modified versions of the destination concept may require concomitant changes to Butler's concept:…”

“…He argues that this creates a more accurate representation of the decline stage of Butler's model since second home owners may take over as conventional tourist numbers decrease. In another example, Johnston (2001) argues for the use of accommodation provision as the unit entity since this is a key indicator of change and is less likely to fluctuate.…”

Wildlife tourism can be broadly viewed as any tourist activity that has wildlife as its focus of attraction. This can either be in the form of consumptive (i.e. hunting and fishing) or nonconsumptive (i.e. wildlife watching) activities and can be based on either captive or free ranging wildlife (Higginbottom 2004). Duffus and Dearden coined the term non-consumptive wildlife-oriented recreation (NCWOR). They focused their attention on the non-consumptive free ranging form: "a human recreational engagement with wildlife wherein the focal organism is not purposefully removed or permanently affected by the engagement" (Duffus and Dearden 1990 p215). For the purpose of this paper 'wildlife tourism' which focuses on non-consumptive uses of wildlife will be used in place of NCWOR since this is the more frequently employed term in the wider literature. Duffus and Dearden (1990) essentially hoped to demonstrate through their conceptual framework, that a multi-disciplinary approach is required by both managers and researchers in order to enhance wildlife conservation and the visitor experience appropriately. Until recently their theory has remained highly 3 respected, but gone largely untested. Given a number of recent developments in the literature of wildlife tourism and in tourism more generally it is pertinent to discuss Duffus and Dearden's (1990) wildlife tourism framework in light of these recent studies. Duffus and Dearden Wildlife Tourism TheoryDuffus and Dearden (1990) were the first to propose a conceptual framework for understanding the complexities of non-consumptive wildlife tourism (Figure 1). They brought together research from a range of different disciplines, including biology, recreation, tourism, animal behaviour, and wildlife management to create their model. Their work was conceived at a time when there was a transition in wildlife tourism management, from perspectives that focused on bag limits, to a multi-disciplinary approach attempting to understand and manage the complexities of wildlife tourism. Their framework identifies three major dimensions of wildlife tourism interaction, namely, the wildlife tourist; the focal species and its habitat; and the historical relationships between them. From this platform they then discuss the relationships between these components of wildlife tourism. Figure 1: Duffus and Dearden's wildlife tourism frameworkSource: (Duffus and Dearden 1990) Duffus and Dearden (1990) state that the popularity of a species for a tourism focus is largely dictated by the historical relationship between humans and that particular species. They contend that this demand for the physical or experiential consumption of a particular species is a direct result of prior human impact on the species and its environment. That is, tourists are drawn to species that are rare or uncommon, which is often a result of increased past or present negative anthropogenic pressures. On the other hand, the opposite is true for animals 4 that are regularly or readily seen, such as domestic pets and agr...

“…Desde el punto de vista teórico, la estrategia de renovación edificatoria de los destinos turísticos consolidados ha venido fundamentalmente desarrollándose en el marco de la teoría del ciclo de vida (Butler, 1980) así como en sus adaptaciones o revisiones más importantes que han contribuido a enriquecer el debate conceptual sobre la distintas formas de evolución teóricas de los destinos turísticos y a incidir en las diferentes formas de extensión del ciclo como parte de las estrategias de «rejuvenecimiento» de estos destinos en masa (Priestley y Mundet 1998;Johnston 2001;Agarwal, 2002Agarwal, y 2006Butler, 2006 a y b). También dentro de los denominados procesos de reestructuración hotelera en los que han incidido en la última década autores como: Anton (2011), Clegg y Essex (2000, Agarwal (2002), Vera y Baños (2010), Santos y Fernández (2010), Simancas (2011), Duro (2012), González Reverté (2012 o López y Ferreres (2011).…”

“…Podemos decir, que el área turística ha transcendido de la fase de la madurez hacia una etapa posterior del modelo, en este caso, crítica, por cuanto se sitúa -siguiendo el propio modelo de Butler-en una fase de declive y, por ende, bajo el principio o fenómeno de la obsolescencia. Una situación, donde el paulatino proceso de depreciación turística se ha puesto de manifiesto, especialmente en la prensa, internet (a través del análisis online de comunidades de viajeros como Booking y Tripadvisor) y desde los propios stakeholders locales de la ciudad turística; circunstancias que atienden a hechos concretos a partir de factores endógenos y externos (Johnston, 2001) que explican dicha transición.…”

RESUMENLas operaciones de renovación mediante la modernización de la oferta de alojamiento se constituyen en la actualidad como uno de los ejes de mayor importancia dentro de las múltiples estrategias de reestructuración para superar la situación de obsolescencia y pérdida de competitividad de destinos turísticos en fase de declive. Por ello, este documento centrará su análisis en el proceso de renovación edificatoria del sector de alojamiento de Puerto de la Cruz (Tenerife), un destino consolidado de los años 60 que arrastra históricamente un proceso paulatino de pérdida de competitividad. Los resultados obtenidos, revelan que, existe un importante déficit de renovación, orientándose las reformas hacia la conservación y mantenimiento de las edificaciones con un carácter más paliativo, que por la propia intencionalidad empresarial de mejorar. De este modo, resulta relevante exponer el proceso y las razones más importantes que explican este significativo fracaso.

However, Butler (1980), based on the product lifecycle concept and previous work on resort evolution, developed one of the most widely accepted models of the hypothetical evolution of a tourist area.…”

Strategies on resort areas and their lifecycle stages

In the business level there are many empirical studies suggesting various market/product strategic options. There are also four stages of product lifecycle (introduction, growth, maturity and decline). The pattern of the product lifecycle can be utilised as a framework for examining the changing environment of a destination in relation to the expansion of tourism. Stages of destination development include: exploration, involvement, development, maturity and decline or rejuvenation. The specific features of each stage of a destination's lifecycle call for different strategies.Bearing this in mind, it is the aim of this paper to examine the usefulness of strategies risen in the business field for resort areas and their lifecycle stages.
