Survey for culture heritage tourism in Vietnam?

February 282010

Hi everybody, I would like to do survey for my dissertation. Could you please answer for my questions? Thank you. I will be very obliged and will of course acknowledge your help.
1. Have you ever been to Vietnam and join in one culture heritage tourism tour in Vietnam?
2. Which culture heritage did you visit?
3. What do you think of the potential of Vietnam cultural heritage tourism?
4. What do you think of the Vietnam culture heritage tourism compared with other countries which also have cultural heritage tourism (Thailand, Philippines, etc.)

i dont do many tours , but i know hoi an is a "cultural heritage site " and has a "city tour "which includes old chinese house, a japanese bride and a number of temples /shrines.. ha long bay is i believe another site.. i find tours like that can be boring or fun depending on who you are with.. but there are always bus loads of foreigners making the rounds at these places.. i guess there will always be a market for that sort of travel..

Budapest – City of Culture

February 232010

In all Europe and in Hungary too, cultural tourism has great traditions. Budapest offers a huge range of cultural entertainment all year around. There are a number of great museums, theatrical performances and concerts of classical and light music every day.
On the other hand cultural tourism and also the demands of cultural tourist have been changing constantly. The tendencies show that instead of the traditional cultural offer of the institutes, a new, innovative mixture of cultural products and services, the cultural experience is coming into the point of interest of the cultural consumer. It is also important for Budapest to keep up with this new trend, highlighting the unique offer of the city with new ideas, cultural cooperations and long term projects, especially in the field of promotion.
The Cultural Budapest Group, set up by the Tourism Office of Budapest in cooperation with the Palace of Arts, gathers the leading cultural institutions of Budapest in order to present and promote the capitals cultural offer together.
This cultural presentation introduces the most important cultural venues of Budapest.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Budapest!

how tourism can affect the cultural identity of london?

February 212010

can you help me with this question thanks

Many London residents are relatively wealthy so they can take advantage of the many transport links available by rail and air to different parts of the country or the world geared to cater for mass tourism. They will hopefully return from their travels/holidays with a better understanding of other cities and an appreciation of things that London lacks. This could change their perceptions, goals and priorities in life and possibly increase the chances of them doing business with the places they have come to know better.

For those Londoners who are adept at translation or speaking multiple languages, the presence of tourists in London increases their employability and choice of vocations. Tourists tend to have high discretionary spending power and, being unfamiliar with customs and pricing structures in the host country, can be easily used to generate commerce and additional custom. When native populations are finding cash hard to raise, the presence of visitors from abroad may take on an extra importance and their spending in London could form a greater percentage of a company’s total business. Heritage attractions such as stately homes and world-class museums stand to gain greatly from tourism.

Clearly in the act of travelling around, tourists do use energy, cause congestion and other negative environmental impacts.They might drive up the prices of accommodation, transport and entertainment for example, such that Londoners are priced-out of those activities, particularly in the summer season. The displacement of everyday shops by restaurants and coffee bars can knock the heart out of a shopping centre and reduce the chances of local people meeting there informally. These could all be seen as harmful effects upon the local culture, for example more airliners waking residents up at 5am instead of 7am, or detracting from the tranquillity of places like Osterley Park, Windsor Castle and Kew Gardens. As with most industries therefore, a case can be made both for and against tourism on social and environmental grounds.

As a capital city, London is of course not typical of the country as a whole, but without the "honey pot" of London, many visitors to the UK would never explore places like Windsor, Oxford, Brighton, Canterbury, Bath, Cambridge, York, etcetera that probably have less reason, overall, to resist a rise in global tourism. Each of those cities would not independently stimulate a foreign holiday lasting a week or more. This contrast has not just arisen because of the relative size of London, but because it is the hub of Britain’s major road and quality rail networks, and it has five airports accepting a large number of international flights plus a range of hotel accommodation unmatched by other cities in western Europe.

A concept of "green tourism" is evolving in Europe and North America but whether this is a serious option or just another wily attempt at niche marketing is open for debate. At the end-of-the-day, tourism is always an optional, discretionary activity and those wishing to undertake more useful or creative tasks might well say "calm down and spend time in your local community!" with some humane justification. Since the days of the great explorers, do those who keep flitting around like butterflies really add much to our collective cultural progress? Discuss!
