“…On the other hand, the vast majority of studies have concentrated on the relationships between individuals and war-related areas, further investigating the reasons people engage with such places (Iles, 2008), along with the impacts of communities' interpretations of such locations (Hurt, 2010;Knox, 2006). More importantly, it has been found that there is a strong relationship between war-related sites and dark tourism (Gordon, 1998;Johnston, 2011;Pieris, 2014;Smith, 1998); likewise, battlefield tourism creates positive economic impacts for the host communities that organize commemorative events (Hall and Basarin, 2009).…”

The present study strives to understand the travel motivations and experiences of both domestic and international travellers visiting the Gallipoli Peninsula. Qualitative research methodology was utilized for this study, with a case study approach employed for the qualitative research design. Data were gathered using face-to-face interviews (n=44), participant observation and document analysis, and an inductive content analysis was then used to analyse the data. The research findings revealed that travellers visiting the site have different motivations and experiences, as well as some commonalities. The findings also indicate that those visiting the site have different travel motivations and experiences, as well as commonalities. Their travel motivations form a heterogeneous pattern, including push and pull motivational factors, while experiences can be grouped into psychological and sociocultural categories; these are useful contributions to the existing literature in the field. As a consequence, the results of this study are unique as they show that battlefield sites within the scope of the dark tourism phenomenon may offer visitors memorable tourism experiences and socio-cultural experiences.

“…Tourism sectors diversify by creating new sub sectors in the industry, to which they are highly related; e.g., heritage tourism has diversified into dark tourism, which has been recently diversified further as post-war tourism [87]. Other tourism sub-sectors also diversify into new ones e.g., hospitality into the self-catering accommodation sector and the events sector into festivals, diversified into the art festival sub-sector.…”

Abstract:The complex nature of tourism, its strong inter-sectoral relationships and regional dimension challenge innovation. The advent of smart specialisation, which focuses on regional diversification across sectors, offers considerable and hitherto largely unrealized potential for developing innovative tourism policies within this new agenda. This paper addresses the understudied concept of tourism diversification and its unrealized relevance to smart specialisation, which has emerged as a mainstream logic underpinning EU Cohesion Policy reforms and has diffused into other OECD countries. It provides a theoretical framework for studying product, market, sectoral and regional diversification as well as related variety in tourism. Some policy implications for realizing tourism diversification and for the potential role of tourism in smart specialisation strategies in particular are suggested.

“…Mobilities caused directly or indirectly to the restructuring process that works across nations and individuals influencing entire human existence through capital and investment flows, strategic alignments (hegemony, aids, and loans) and flow of information and images (Anton Clavé, 2012). However, an overall destination's cultural transition considering the emerging Asian cultural hegemony empowered through mobilities at destinations seems a novel area of study (Pieris, 2014). This study could be considered as crucial in this aspect.…”

Mobilities, encapsulating range of escalations in time and space by forming, transforming and retransforming social structures, cannot be understood in isolation. Cultural hegemony has been examined in post-colonial contexts while mobilities have been investigated conceptually, making empirical inquiries a noticeable absence. Though 'what mobilities are' have fairly been studied, why and how it occurs in tourism and cultural transformation need further examination. This theoretically motivated question led the present study of mobilities, tourism and cultural modifications. Emic and etic approaches are employed entrusting on qualitative methodology. Participants view that the dimensions of mobilities cause the modification of cultural values and spatial restructuring through mobility nodes influence on image reformation. Mobility nodes encourage movement of people resulting to drastic alterations in their mundane and consequently in value systems. Mobility drives revolving around capital, geopolitics and envisioned manipulations of cultural processes cause transition of cultural hegemony from former colonial powers to emerging Asian supremacies.
