Junk space and Junk time in tourism destination
Journal Title: Journal of Tourism and Services - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Tourism demand is strictly correlated to the economic conditions. A greater and greater tourism demand triggers a stronger and stronger natural resources consumption. Therefore, decay of tourism occurs because the more a tourism destination is exploited, the less it could be desirable. The recent economic crisis, along with the excessive exploitation of natural resources, should now prompt concern about the future of tourism. This paper will consider junk-space and junk-time as parameters of the tourism decay. Junk-space is a shape looking for a function. Junk-time is a wasted expectation. The goal of this research is to give a list of junk spaces and junk times, in order to assess tourism destination. In fact, high rates of junk space/time can be considered as hints of decaying.
