Authors:Zoraini Ibrahim, Maryati Mohd. Yusof Pages: 1 - 17 Abstract: The activity of running, as it is usually called by its enthusiastic and highly-engaged practitioners, constitutes not only a sport but also a lifestyle that is characterised by the adoption of a broad set of ethical and aesthetic precepts that transcend mere physical exercise. In Argentina, it entails a wide variety of experiences that, for certain types of 'serious' runners, serve to define such a lifestyle. In this paper it will be shown how trips are precisely one of those defining experiences, and how such trips demand an intense tourist planning to runners and their eventual companions.

Authors:Danielle Mariam Araújo dos Santos, Francisco Antonio dos Anjos Pages: 18 - 39 Abstract: This study brings the possibility of understanding the tourist territory of an indigenous community, based on the proposal of a territorial analysis matrix that aggregates objective and subjective categories of analysis, focusing on the indigenous people's view of their space. As a research methodology, a bibliographic and documentary survey was used, and visits were made for field observation. Based on Santos (1996) and Harvey (1973), an analysis matrix of the touristified ethnic territory was proposed taking into account the categories of analysis: form, function, structure and process, as well as absolute, relative and relational space. The matrix was applied in the Sahu-Apé indigenous community, Brazil. The matrix was adequate for presenting as results the identification of the strengths and weaknesses of this community with regard to tourism, thus presenting itself as a useful tool for tourism planning.

Authors:Danielle Mariam Araújo dos Santos, Francisco Antonio dos Anjos Pages: 40 - 51 Abstract: Over years, scholars have focused on travel behaviour and leisure practices worldwide. The advance of applied research, anyway, overlooks the fact that there are considerable asymmetries in leisure practices between the Global North and the peripheral South. These inequalities were mainly crystallised in the COVID-19 pandemic, a founding event that accelerated a global crisis in the health system. Thousand of peripheral tourists, coming from countries with low access to vaccination, flied to the North in quest of vaccines. The present paper explores not only the dilemmas of Argentinian tourists who travelled abroad to be inoculated, but also the contradictions and conflicts with Argentinian governments who imposed several restrictions to their return. As a result of this, many compatriots have been stranded abroad without food, assistance and lodging.

Under new normal condition, servicescape gets greater sentience from potential customers in search of risk-free dining. This study aims at exploring the evolving servicescape of Sri Lankan restaurant industry. A series of in-depth interviews with restaurant operators were conducted and thematic analysis was used to analyse qualitative data. A wide gap between challenges and measures taken was evident. Regaining the faded customer trust and continuing operations under restrictions were threatening. The study recommends exclusive and realistic approaches to advance the evolving servicescape of restaurants.

Authors:Alfitri, Andy Alfatih, Andries Lionardo, Abdul Kholek, Erlisa Saraswati, Muhammad Izzudin, Anang Dwi Santoso Pages: 76 - 97 Abstract: This study presents how indigenous peoples participate in ecotourism planning, how their knowledge is tested and challenged to deal with knowledge for developing ecotourism, and what are the challenges in engaging indigenous peoples and their knowledge in ecotourism. It employed an indigenous qualitative research strategy by conducting semi-structured interviews with representatives of indigenous peoples, government, and non-governmental organisations (NGO) participating in ecotourism planning in Mude Ayek's Prohibition Customary Forest. The results of the study show that despite being involved, the dispersed knowledge of indigenous peoples has been integrated and utilised in forest management as a product of ecotourism. However, in forest ecotourism management, indigenous peoples find obstacles either from themselves or from the confusion of other stakeholders in integrating it. The practical implication of this research is that it is necessary to build a complete picture of local knowledge, which is no longer implicit but must be written.
