This paper examines the interdependencies of tourism, Buddhism and sustainability combining in-depth-interviews with Buddhism experts and non-participant observation in a mixed-method approach. The area under investigation is the Alpine region of Austria, Germany and Switzerland, since it is home to Asian and Western forms of Buddhism tourism alike. Results show that Buddhism tourism as a value-based activity on the one hand is not commercial, but since demand is rising, on the other hand tendencies towards more commercial forms can be observed. As a modest form of activity Buddhism tourism does not shape the landscape of the Alpine area and by its nature it incorporates sustainability.
Tourist tracking

This paper applies the concept of Soja’s Thirdspace to the phenomenon of Lazgi dance and tourism in Uzbekistan. In doing so it analyses the different levels of perception (including Firstspace and Secondspace) of Lazgi and tourism via an autoethnographic lens. Complemented by expert interviews, the interaction of Lazgi and tourism is examined and characteristics of the Lazgisphere (world of Lazgi) in Uzbekistan are distilled. The results show that Lazgi is often directly or indirectly connected with tourism in Uzbekistan, but even more so serves to reaffirm national identity.
The Kerala tourism model
(2017)
Sustainable tourism in Kerala is on the rise. Therefore, this South Indian state is assessed according to the sustainable tourism criteria of the Strasdas et al. (2007) framework. Kerala as a state does not qualify as a sustainable tourism destination, although individual success stories at the NGO and government level exist. This conceptual paper delivers a detailed analysis of the three dimensions of sustainability, i.e. ecology, economy and socio-cultural aspects, of the ‘Kerala tourism model’ and discusses the question of whether this model can be transferred to other developing countries.

Geographieunterricht ist in besonderem Maße prädestiniert, Mensch-Umwelt- und Mensch-Mitwelt-Beziehungen bewusst zu machen. Hierzu soll dieser Band beitragen, denn Musik wirkt ganzheitlich und lässt uns geographische Sachverhalte nicht nur visuell wahrnehmen, sondern macht sie akustisch "fühlbar" und bringt somit eine neue Erfahrungsdimension in den Unterricht. Da Musik aber auch eng mit Kultur verbunden ist, ermöglichen die 12 Unterrichtsbeispiele zudem Zugänge zu kulturellen Vorstellungen anhand diverser Raumbeispiele.
