This article explores how a remote Aboriginal-owned and -run art centre, Ikuntji Artists in Haasts Bluff, has developed grassroots-level cultural tourism. While not many remote Indigenous art centres engage with the tourism industry, Aboriginal tourism engagement has only recently been identified by the Northern Territory Government as a major business development area. Steered by the member artists and the board, the art centre has been able to create a range of workshops and activities that can be offered to small-scale tour operators. Over the past five years, an arts festival and various workshops for university field students and other small tour operators have been hosted. Member artists, staff and the board as well as the community see cultural tourism as an opportunity to share their culture by way of teaching visitors about the Luritja language, culture and country. Thus, this article argues that art centres can engage meaningfully in cultural tourism and support remote Indigenous communities in the sustainable development of cultural tourism.

This article discusses the role of women in supporting sustainable tourism development in Bali by promoting Balinese cuisine to the tourism world. To date, studies on the role of Balinese women in the tourism industry have looked mainly at women as ordinary workers or professionals. In fact, Balinese women operate as culinary entrepreneurs who have not only been successful in introducing Balinese cuisine to the world of tourism but have opened up job opportunities for men and women alike. The data presented in this article was collected through observation of four leading Balinese women who run successful local culinary outlets or restaurants offering local dishes, and is complemented by interviews and other published sources relating to their business activities. The four pioneering women surveyed are Men Tempeh of Gilimanuk (West Bali) serving chicken betutu, the suckling pig restaurant manager Ibu Oka in Ubud, the owner of Made’s Warung Ni Made Masih, and the catering company owner Ibu Warti Buleleng, based in Denpasar. This article concludes that these four Balinese culinary heroines or srikandi have successfully managed to preserve and promote Balinese dishes to the world of tourism while contributing to the sustainable development of Balinese tourism by providing opportunities for tourists to experience local cuisine.

Tourism is a circulation of people who travel to or stay in places outside their home country. It has being believed as a major ingredient in the economic development strategy. Ethiopia possesses numerous natural, religious,historical, non-natural and cultural tourism attractions;economic contribution and its potential are incomparable. However, various external and internal factors have been affecting the sustainable development of the tourism industry in Ethiopia. Shortage of tourist facilities, lack of skillful human resources, weak promotion, lack of integration and political will are the major negatively contributing forces. Although Ethiopia possesses massive tourism development potentials with its unique biodiversity and spectacular topographic features, its economic contribution to the country is unmatched. A solution could be the implementation of a tourism tax;these taxes can be used to fund the continuous development and improvement of its tourism markets. Thus, relieving the country of the stigma relying on foreign money to help its own industry and giving full of tourist facilities, skillful human resources,promotion, socio-cultural and political will for the tourists.

The article considers the peculiarities of the formation of the gastronomic brand of the territory. It was found that a large number of scientific works on gastronomic branding does not reveal the essence of the stages of formation of such a brand. Despite some successful practices in the use of gastronomic products to promote tourism services, the general recommendations for the use of the gastronomic brand as a tool for managing the development of a tourist destination in the functioning of the tourism industry at the regional level remain undisclosed. Based on the review of previous publications, the purpose of this study is to determine the stages of formation and features of the gastronomic brand to increase the attractiveness and efficiency of tourist destination management. As a result of the study on the role of the gastronomic brand in the process of managing a tourist destination, it was determined: the process of creating a brand should take place in stages, and involves determining the type of territory, identifying the relationship between the number of tourists and their gastronomic needs. historical traditions of ethnic cuisine and the creation of conditions for a harmonious combination of gastronomic brand with the brand of a tourist destination; there is a directly proportional connection between the gastronomic brand of the territory and the brand of the tourist destination: the presence of the former contributes to the sustainable development of the latter; The positive impact of the gastronomic brand on the development of the tourist destination becomes possible due to the harmonization of common value-oriented components implemented in the destination branding as well as during gastronomic branding.

The role of stakeholders is critical in addressing challenges with or problems in small-scale sports events. The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptions of the event stakeholders toward sports events, with a particular focus on the role of residents in a tourist destination. The goal is to understand their perceptions with respect to different topics and in particular to the sustainable development of the tourist destination. This case study focuses on the World Junior Alpine Ski Championships 2019 in Trentino Val di Fassa—Italy (JWC2019). Applying a mixed methodology, the study analyzes the stakeholders during the sports event (quantitative method) and the point of view of the residents in their stakeholder role after the sports event (qualitative method). The main findings of this study show that residents differ from tourists and other stakeholders in terms of their perception of the event and its strengths. But when it comes to the perceptions regarding the territory, the groups of stakeholders analyzed do not seem to have systematically different opinions. Some paradoxes do, however, emerge with respect to the residents’ awareness of their role as stakeholders and the implications of the event with respect to sustainability and how such an event may underpin a concept of sustainable development for the territory as a whole.
