Post-disaster research relating to tourism tends to focus on broad economic measures that can miss local-scale actors and contemporaneous impressions by tourists and tourism-based business owners in places undergoing recovery from a disaster. Hurricane Harvey, a Category 4 storm, swept across coastal Texas in August 2017. Many of the communities affected by Harvey have economies largely based on family recreation. Interviews in Rockport–Fulton, Texas, with tourism-oriented business owners, staff, and tourists during the Independence holiday provide qualitatively robust accounts of the community’s first major summer event following Harvey and highlight the importance of social networks and place attachment to bringing tourists to the recovering area. Furthermore, we discuss the chain tourist’s role in the recovery of affected locations and consider strategies to draw on these social networks to increase the number of tourists visiting the recovering communities.

Family systems theory and the Core and Balance Model of Family Leisure Functioning are useful frameworks that can provide guidance in the development of family recreation services for families with children with autism. These families may experience positive and successful outcomes from family leisure participation, yet few family recreation programs exist that can appropriately accommodate their needs. A Web-based study was conducted following the principles of the reasoned action approach to understand the beliefs and intentions surrounding participation in a family recreation program. Findings revealed that families have high intentions to participate, as well as positive attitudes toward participation. This information can prove useful to recreational therapy service providers as they consider developing family services.

Pengelolaan objek wisata memerlukan perhatian khusus sehingga dapat mengakomodir kebutuhan semua pihak baik wisatawan, masyarakat di sekitar objek dan kekayaan hayati. Sikayan Balumuik merupakan objek wisata alam di Kota Padang yang belum memberi dampak ekonomis di bidang pariwisata. Perlu suatu usaha kreatif agar objek wisata tersebut dapat memberi dampak positif sehingga perekonomian masyarakat setempat tumbuh dan berkembang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran potensi pengembangan ekonomi kreatif di objek wisata Sikayan Balumuik sehingga dapat meningkatkan daya tarik objek wisata tersebut. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Tahapan yang dilakukan adalah menjelaskan potensi objek wisata kemudian menganalisanya berdasarkan aspek daya tarik sebuah objek wisata dan potensi sub sektor ekonomi kreatif. Melalui analisa tersebut dapat digambarkan aktor � aktor ekonomi kreatif yang berperan langsung dalam mewujudkan daya tarik tersebut. Hasil penelitian menggambarkan bahwa objek wisata Sikayan Balumuik memiliki potensi alam namun jika ditelaah melalui aspek daya tarik wisata yaitu attraction, activity, amenities, artwork dan ancillary maka objek ini belum memenuhi kriteria menarik untuk dikunjungi. Rekomendasi yang dapat diberikan adalah pembentukan komunitas masyarakat yang sesuai dengan bidangnya sehingga peranan aktif dari setiap aktor maksimal. Potensi objek wisata Sikayan Balumuik yang ditawarkan kepada wisatawan sebaiknya dalam bentuk paket yang terdiri dari paket family recreation, paket extreme adventure dan paket nature conservation yang menawarkan pengalaman berwisata sesuai dengan tema. Sub-sektor ekonomi kreatif yang prioritas ditingkatkan pada kawasan tersebut adalah kriya, kuliner, seni pertunjukan, arsitektur, musik dan fotographi. Pada kawasan tersebut perlu ditetapkan regulasi dan kesepakatan bersama antara semua aktor ekonomi kreatif yang terlibat dalam pengelolaan Objek Wisata Sikayan Balumuik.
