    Tourism in troubled times

    Responsibility, resistance and resurgence in the Asia Pacific

    The Asia Pacific region more broadly also finds itself living in troubled times. Environmental issues such as climate change, pollution and resource scarcity continue to clash with visions and ideologies for economic prosperity, while social and political issues such as economic disparity, human right abuses and geopolitical conflicts persist and take on new forms. Within this context, unbridled tourism growth in the Asia Pacific region is on the rise as governmental and private industry initiatives endeavor to combat issues of poverty, gender inequality, rural revitalization, post-disaster recovery, and sustainable development goals through sustained tourism growth.

    Tourist practices, discourses and representations around the contemporary recreative uses of the countryside

    Les universités d’Angers (France) et de Ningbo (Chine) proposent une manifestation scientifique autour des phénomènes de tourisme et de loisirs dans les espaces ruraux, afin de saisir les rapports entre ces deux objets considérés comme sources privilégiées de réflexions et d’échanges. Le tourisme dit rural a déjà fait l’attention de nombreux chercheurs et depuis longtemps, Michel Bonneau proposant dès 1984 un « bilan de trente année de recherches géographiques » sur la question. Il n’est donc pas tant question de proposer ici un nouveau colloque sur les manifestations contemporaines de ce phénomène, que de réfléchir aux discours et représentations autour des usages recréatifs de la ruralité. Trois axes d'analyse sont privilégiés : les représentations et discours sur la campagne ; les logiques entrepreneuriales et les stratégies de mise en tourisme des espaces ruraux ; ce que le tourisme dans les espaces ruraux veut dire aujourd'hui.
