Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Today many regions in the industrialized world have to deal with a transformation from traditional industry such as agriculture or manufacturing to service-oriented production such as tourism. Nevertheless, few studies highlight the possibilities and limitations of inter-sectoral knowledge sharing among stakeholders representing these sectors and hence there seem to be missed opportunities for mutual collaboration in the era of experience production. Using an evolutionary perspective, this article aims to analyse how the leisure boat manufacturing and the tourism sectors in the municipality of Orust on the Swedish west coast, combine knowledge from these two sectors as a way to spur innovation in experience production. The article shows how there are a number of limitations to sectoral knowledge interaction. Some of them can be linked to the conservative nature of the traditional industry, and to the immature nature of the tourism sector, others to the role of policy. However, at the same time as there being a number of obstacles for collaboration, the article reveals some interesting possibilities to form inter-sectoral knowledge sharing.

- The servicescape is a central concept within the service marketing literature based on rationally worked out presentations of an environment. It is vital in creating the service experience, and communicates powerful messages to the consumer about the expected quality of the experience (e.g. Arnould, Price & Tierney, 1998; Aubert-Gamet, 1997; Babin & Dardin, 1996; Baker, 1987; Baker, Grewal & Levt, 1992; Bitner, 1990; 1992; Booms & Bitner, 1982; Donovan & Rossiter, 1982; Mehrabian & Russell, 1974; Tilly, 1994). Yet, the branding and marketing of places hides the different value constructions behind such commercial activities. Furthermore, much of the servicescape research has been very conceptual, focusing on only one of the physical elements of the physical environment (Countryman and Jang, 2006). One of the objectives of this research is to attempt to fill that gap by categorising all aspects of the servicescape based on data from popular culture destinations and an elaborated model of analysis for servicescape elements. More specifically, the aim of the paper is to elaborate the notion of servicescapes towards a more holistic understanding and application of the concept. The fact that the tourism experience involves complex interactions with the physical and cultural landscapes of the tourist destination, leading to complex positive and negative impacts in the local communities, evidently looping back affecting the consumer experience, implies an extension of the concept of servicescape. In this more complex context of tourism consumption, Mossberg (2007) has suggested that the servicescape concept should be substituted with the broader experiencescape concepts to better reflect that in tourism, the service product is not limited to one company and service environment but rather a combination of service providers at a destination or experience environment. We argue that the spatial dimensions of the concept need to be even further developed to incorporate the geographies of tourism. The primary data included in the study further supports this claim. A total of 278 photos and 20 video clips captured at four popular culture tourism destinations were included in the sample. The four destinations, all related to the popular culture phenomenon the Twilight Saga, are located in USA (Forks, La Push and Port Angeles), British Columbia, Canada, and Italy (Volterra and Montepulciano). NVivo9 was employed for the analysis of data in two stages. The first stage was to analyse secondary data (literature) to develop a model for analysis of primary data (stage two). The analysis approach can be described as an a priori analysis based on a model generated from previous research within servicescape and experiencescape. However, the research design also included a post hoc analysis allowing for new nodes/(sub)categories to be developed, when applicable, from empirical data. Findings show that evidence from the popular culture tourism destinations supports previous research as regards elements of the servicescape and experiencescape concepts. In addition to this, two new empirically generated subcategories were developed clearly related to the geographies of tourism. Alas, support for a more holistic approach to the servicescape and experiencescape concepts was found.

Den massmediala (re)produktionen av turismens platser – geografiska perspektiv på journalistikens uttryck och produktionsförhållanden

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- ABSTRACT Lindström N., Kristina, 2011, (Re)producing Tourist Destinations in the Mass Media. Geographical Perspectives on Journalistic Representations and the Conditions of their Production. Publications edited by the Departments of Geography, University of Gothenburg, Series B, no. 119. 174 pages. Department of Human and Economic Geography, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg. ISBN 91-86472-65-8, http://hdl.handle.net/2077/26637 This thesis project deals with the connections between the media and the tourism industries from a geographical perspective. It addresses the growing interdependence between tourism and media actors, specifically focusing on the mass media’s production processes, which include choosing, cultivating and presenting images of tourist destinations, i.e. media images in the form of newspaper articles, travelogues, etc. Two fundamental research issues are analyzed (in two separate studies): How are tourist destinations represented and under what conditions are these representations produced? In the first study the mass media representations applied to the tourist destination Mallorca in a selection of Swedish newspapers 1950-2000 are analyzed in terms of dedicated size, content and, evolution. The second study scrutinises the conditions, motivations, values, interaction and influence among travel journalists and their main sources. The theoretical approach draws on literature in the fields of tourism and media, specifically focusing on journalism and human geography. The basic assumption about the media image is that it is a social construction of reality. Tourist destinations tend to be portrayed as spectacular, exotic and extraordinary, focusing the tourist paradise and the well-being of the tourists, neglecting the local society. Here travel journalism has a crucial position in the intersection between journalism and advertising. Furthermore, as the mass media has become more commercial and market-driven, the issue of influence has become even more complex. The first study is a quantitative and qualitative content-analysis of 564 newspaper texts about Mallorca published in three daily Swedish newspapers 1950-2000. The text is analysed from a tourism-geographic perspective, focusing on how media images portray the tourism destination. The quantitative work involves analyzing the space allocated to the newspaper texts and comprehensively categorizing the places, people, events and conditions noted in relation to Mallorca. The qualitative work involves an in-depth analysis of the newspaper texts, in order to give a refined picture of the content and rhetoric used in the presentation of Mallorca. The second study is based on semi-structured expert interviews with Swedish travel journalists at a number of important Swedish newspapers and their main sources, i.e. representatives of the three biggest tour operators on the Swedish market and local actors representing one important foreign tourist destination (Mallorca). The findings suggest that the news media images of Mallorca are homogenous, stereotyped and, relatively static, (re)producing a Swedish tourist paradise, however not solely from a positive angle. Possibly, a trend towards more investigating news media images of Mallorca is anticipated. The media production process consists of actors sharing the same main idea of travel journalism as a way to entertain and inform the media audience about tourist destinations. The professional backgrounds of the travel journalists and the lack of serious journalism dealing with tourism are two explanatory factors. Furthermore, close informal relationships between the travel journalists and their sources are important for the understanding of the situation.
