The Events That Shaped and Influenced Voluntary Tourism
The Events That Shaped and Influenced Voluntary Tourism
1. The Events That Shaped and Influenced Voluntary Tourism in Decade 1.0
Looking back over the last decade there are certainly some standout events that shaped VolunTourism. Some of them will be self-evident; others, however, may require a bit of an explanation to put them into context for you. Keep in mind, those that are most obvious have contributed in numerous ways since – ways that were not, at first, readily apparent.
For this assignment, you will be expected to apply the research knowledge found in the textbook, as well as additional journals, to create your paper on a topic relating to leisure or recreation in Canada.
You will select a minimum of 3-5 journal articles (research oriented and peer-reviewed) related to the topics of leisure and recreation in Canadian society, relevant to a topic that you find interesting. Careful selection of the articles and an in-depth understanding of their content will be necessary for successful completion of this assignment. Other sources (websites, newspaper articles, etc.) may be used but will not count towards the minimum journal articles required and must be properly cited and referenced.
You will be graded on your understanding of the information presented in the articles and your ability to link this information to the concepts of recreation and leisure and your topic. You are free to choose your topic, preferably something that has piqued your interest during this course, but it must be related to leisure or recreation in Canada in some way.
Popular topics in the past have included, but are certainly not limited, to:
Sport development in Canada
Leisure/recreation for Canada’s aging population
Leisure related to youth, new Canadians or minority populations
How funding can affect national/provincial programs related to leisure and recreation
Volunteering
Tourism, sustainable tourism, increase in technology, decrease of being in nature etc
The articles that you select must be academic peer-reviewed articles and you are to employ the same skills for finding these articles as you did to find the article for Assignment 1.
Some of the journals available in Dafoe Library and in University of Manitoba online database:
Journal of Leisure Research
Leisure/Loisir
Therapeutic Recreation Journal
Leisure Studies
Leisure Sciences
Annals of Tourism Research
This assignment must be in APA format and marks will be deducted for those that do not adhere to APA guidelines. For APA formatting help, please see:

International Tourism Management Students should answer one of the following questions:
1. Tourists the world over are attracted to places which authentically represent the stories and people of the past. This is the basis of ‘Heritage tourism’.
International Tourism Management
Sometimes there is actually very little to be seen on the ground and the significance of these places – the ‘story to be told’ has to be narrated to visitors
using an increasingly technological range of interpretative techniques. Many attractions now offer visitors increasingly sophisticated interactions with the
underlying story by employing a range of multimedia techniques, some of which make use of routinely-carried, user-owned smartphones and tablets.
Using examples, describe ways in which successful visitor attractions have been created, enhanced and developed by employing modern interpretative techniques which engage and involve visitors in the stories on which the attractions are based.
2. Explain the concept of Fair Trade as it applies to the tourism industry and explain how fair trade tourism delivers value to tourism providers and
destinations. You may decide in some cases the value is non- existent or limited and this should be highlighted. You should illustrate your answer with examples
3. Tour operators and airlines are powerful players in the management and development of tourism products and services. In order to stay ahead of the
competition they must constantly come up with new products and services. You should carry out research into three or four separate operators and or airlines
working in differing environments and discuss and evaluate their new products in terms of A.) Are the products environmentally and socially responsible B)
are they genuinely innovative or just new to that operator/airline.
International Tourism Management Discussion
You should consider and discuss the competition in the case of operators/airlines
offering a product or service already offered by someone else. (* Please note you may not attempt this essay if you have tackled the innovation question for
the poster assessment.)
4. The management of tourism is a complex subject area. Managers have access to a number of management tools which they will use to improve customer satisfaction, improve profits, build social capital and maintain a happy workforce. You should discuss and attempt to analyze the usefulness of at least four these tools in relation to the user groups mentioned above. (You may consider anything except the topic you chose for assessment 1.) Some of the tools you might like to consider include carbon management, corporate social responsibility, innovation, and education & interpretation techniques. Of course not all
tools relate to all user groups so be clear. You should use case studies to illustrate your answer.
