“…While the increasing distances being travelled have been measured and aggregate movements of tourists analysed (see Ankomah, Crompton, & Baker, 1996;Lin & Morais, 2008;McKercher & Lew, 2003;Nicolau & Mas, 2006), there are no accounts of how tourists themselves view distance and the role it plays in their travel behaviour. This research identifies different ways in which Danish tourists talk about distance and uses the insights gained to suggest ways to encourage tourists to travel shorter distances.…”

Understanding tourists’ perceptions of distance: a key to reducing the environmental impacts of tourism mobility

This paper seeks to understand how tourists might reduce their travel distances by better understanding their perception and "performance" of distances to destinations. Travel accounts for 75% of tourism's GHG emissions, the majority from flying. Tourist travel distances are growing rapidly, as are emissions, with little evidence of the reductions required to comply with emission reduction targets. This research used discourse analysis of in-depth interviews with Danish tourists to explore how they understand distance. Respondents rarely referred to physical distance (e.g. kilometres), but instead to scales including cost, time and cultural difference to express relative distances. Some distances were seen as "zonal", (e.g. "away from home" or "sun and sea" or winter sports destinations), others "ordinal", having degrees of difference, time or costs to cross. The desire for distance also resulted from links tourists make between physical distance and reaching cultural dissimilarity. Sometimes travel itself was integral with the holiday experience. While cost and time savings were important, the total holiday price was more important than the journey price. Measures are suggested for reducing the distances travelled and changing the modes used, and so reducing environmental impacts, including changing leave allowances, better marketing of nearby destinations with cultural differences, and promoting slow travel.

“…It shows that all different transport modes follow the same distribution of energy used. Lin et al [60] study the experience of travel time and find that cognitive distances are systematically underestimated at short ranges (<150 km) and overestimated at long ranges (>250 km). This result may support the idea that travel times are important as short distances of up to 150 km will involve trips near the average daily TTB of 60-70 minutes [52], making the trip 'feel short', while distances above 250 km will take much longer making their 'feel' to be rather long.…”

Abstract:The current development of tourism is environmentally unsustainable. Specifically, tourism's contribution to climate change is increasing while other sectors are reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. This paper has two goals: reveal the main structural cause for tourism's emission growth and show the consequences thereof for (mitigation) policies. It is reasoned that the main cause for tourism's strong emission growth is the time-space expansion of global tourism behavior. Contemporary tourism theory and geography fail to clearly describe this geographical development, making it difficult to understand this expansion and develop effective policies to mitigate environmental impacts. Therefore, this paper explores some elements of a 'new tourism geography' and shows how this may help to better understand the causes of the environmentally unsustainable development of tourism with respect to climate change and devise mitigation policies.

“…Model; turistlerin destinasyon seçimlerinde, belli destinasyonları ziyaret eden turistlerin analiz edilmesinde ve turistlerin planladıkları faaliyetlerin tahminlemesinde araştırmacılara yarar sağlamaktadır (Meng ve Xu, 2012) (Ankomah ve Cromton, 1992;Boerwinkel, 1995). Bu anlamda bilişsel uzaklık; turistlerin sürekli yaşadıkları yerlerden, rutin alışkanlıklarından ve alışılmış çevrelerinden çok uzağa gitme arzuları olarak ifade edilebilir (Lin ve Morais, 2008). Ancak fiziksel uzaklığın artması turistlerin ilave zaman, para ve fiziksel güç harcamalarına neden olduğu için üstesinden gelinmesi gereken bir durum olarak değerlendirilirken bilişsel uzaklığın artması ile alışılmış çevreden ve rutin yaşamdan uzaklaşma ile doğru orantılı algılandığı için bu iki kavram turistlerde "uzaklık çelişkisi-antinomy of distance" durumunun yaşanmasına neden olabilmektedir (Cao vd., 2019).…”

Turist destinasyon seçimi Uzaklık arzusu Uzaklık çelişkisi Planlanmış davranış teorisi Öz İnsanlar uzaklık kavramının negatif yönüne dikkat çekmek için sık sık "Gözden ırak olan gönülden de ırak olur." atasözünü kullanmaktadırlar. Acaba bu atasözü turistlerin destinasyon seçim karar süreçlerinde de geçerli midir? Bu çalışmada turistlerin destinasyon seçim karar süreçlerinde sergiledikleri davranış boyutlarının uzaklık arzularına ile seyahat davranış niyetlerine etkilerinin ve aynı zamanda uzaklık arzularının seyahat davranış niyetlerine etkilerinin ölçülmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu kapsamda Kapadokya destinasyonunu Haziran-Ağustos 2019 döneminde ziyaret eden Japon turistlere kendilerinin cevaplandırdıkları toplam 450 anket formu ulaştırılmıştır. Anketlerden elde edilen veriler (408 anket) SPSS programında analize tabi tutulmuştur. Yapılan analizlerde; Planlanmış Davranış Teorisi-Uzaklık Arzusu (PDT-UA) ölçeğinin tutum, sübjektif norm, algılanan davranışsal kontrol, seyahat davranış niyeti ve uzaklık arzusu boyutlarından oluştuğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Tüm planlanmış davranış teorisi boyutlarının yüksek ve pozitif düzeyde turistlerin destinasyon seyahat niyetlerini ve turistlerin uzaklık arzularını etkilediği ve ayrıca turistlerin uzaklık arzusu boyutunun yine çok yüksek ve pozitif düzeyde destinasyon seyahat niyetlerini etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
