"Streaking tourists and drunken travelers"
No full textThis thesis examines the current discourses that are used to describe the misbehavior of tourists in contemporary English-speaking newspapers. Currently, the role of media and media frames is significant in shaping the public opinion on certain matters. Because of the significant role of media frames, this research looked into how English-speaking media framed the misbehavior of tourists at destinations that oftentimes deal with overtourism and how this affects the perception of that particular destination. By means of a qualitative content analysis, 81 news articles from three British newspapers, four American newspapers, and two news broadcasters BBC and CNN were researched. After this, the articles were analyzed through a framing analysis. This eventually led to emergence of four current discourses that are used for the portrayal of misbehavior of tourists in the media. The discourses are single characteristics of tourists, explaining the misbehavior of tourists as a consequence of overtourism, types of observed misbehavior, which is subdivided into four types of misbehavior, and lastly, the approaches to limit the observed misbehavior. The four mentioned discourses were determined based on how these discourse fits into the existing media frames coined by Semetko and Valkenburg (2000). The frames observed were the human-interest frame, conflict frame, absence of moral constraints frame, (economic) consequences frame and responsibility frame. The discourses affect how a destination is framed by the media, and how this results in the type of tourist that is attracted to the destination. It was observed that the reporting of misbehavior of tourists is often framed as a conflict between locals and tourists. This resulted in a one-sided narrative in the reporting of the results of overtourism where the locals express their opinion on the misbehavior of tourists, it adds to the continuation of how the destination is framed by the media. This research argues that the importance of framing, of the misbehavior as well as the framing of destinations that struggle with overtourism have a significant effect on the perception and public opinion one has about a destination, and therefore could affect the success of a tourism destination
Museum TikToks and their Influence on Visitors’ Destination Image Perception
No full textThe following research examines how tourist destination images are projected through art exhibition
and art museum TikTok short videos, and how such depictions are perceived and interpreted by museum
audiences. So far, existing destination image research concerning destination image creation on social
media platforms has predominantly focused on social media platforms that allow textual or pictorial
posts. However, with the recent arrival of social media platforms that operate purely on short video
content, there is a need to investigate how this format impacts the creation of destination images from
both a production and consumption perspective. Furthermore, tourist destination image research has
mainly highlighted the official travel-related platforms within the tourism industry, and little attention
has been paid to less-obvious organizations that are also part of the tourism sector, such as museums.
The gathering of data was accomplished through a mixed-method approach of online content analysis
in the form of TikTok short video analysis, and semi-structured interviews with museum professionals
and museum visitors. The results of the content analysis reveal that museum TikToks are composed of
overlapping elements, including similar content, attention to cinematography, intentional text additions,
and specific TikTok-related features. From the analysis of the interviews, it was concluded that the
production side uses TikTok as a successful marketing tool. While destination images were deliberately
manipulated through cinematographic aspects, the overall production of destination images was
authentic to the offline experience. From the consumer perspective, audiences were positively engaged
with the destination images projected through the museum TikToks, demonstrating changed perceptions
and increased willingness to travel. Overall, there was more active viewer engagement amongst younger
participants who were familiar with TikTok trends. The combination of the short-video format and the
inclusion of human interaction with the destinations were most influential in changing tourist destination
images. Finally, this thesis has found that the destination image projection on TikTok differs from other
social media platforms because content providers can use the specific TikTok features to connect to
online communities that exist within the borders of the social media app, catering their content to these
audiences and communicating with them on an equal level. Simultaneously, museums can provide and
democratize art and history knowledge for younger TikTok audiences and people who are not able to
visit museums

Guided Poverty - Slums Through the Eyes of a Tourist
No full textThis study discusses how tourists reflect their experience of visiting some of the poorest areas of the globe in a guided tour. Slum tourism is a rising touristic practice that connects the two distinct worlds of poverty and tourism, making it a very interesting phenomenon to research. This thesis analyses the tourists’ experiences of Manilla, Kibera, and Belen slums in TripAdvisor reviews and travel blogs. It followed a qualitative thematic analysis of 337 reviews and 11 blogs posts.
Several debates are prevalent in academia that position slum tourism as voyeuristic and as an exploitation of the poor. However, it is also asserted to enhance the life quality of the slum dwellers, to bring economic developments and other non-material benefits, challenging the voyeurism critiques. Slum tours provide the tourists an encounter with the authentic, unspoiled, and uncorrupted by modernity. If slums are carriers of authenticity, they at the same time are significant of post-colonial tourism discourses of “othering”. In this sense, visitors feel motivated with a search for authenticity, but also to contribute and get educated to the “others” reality.
Different authors researched how tourists frame slums as places of hope, progress, and self-development in TripAdvisor, neglecting the attention to real problems and need for structural changes. Tour guides are argued to twist the representation of the slums’ reality, complacent with narratives of hope, romanticizing and normalizing extreme poverty.
The present thesis highlights that the tourists are attentive to the harsh reality of the slums. Although reflecting on their experience as challenging, authentic, unvarnished, and incredible, they did not fail in recognizing the need for structural changes in slums. Findings show that tourists left the slums “enlightened” and “humbled”, valuing their own privileged lives. Their slum experience left them attentive to the huge disparities prevalent in the world and with desires to contribute in any way possible, not sharing a view of a “romanticized poverty”. However, this narrative is also implied as an attempt to ease their uneasy feeling of being tourists in a place of death, filth, and starvation. In this sense, a negotiation about the ethical value of their experience was constantly questioned in their discourse. Still, narratives of doing the “right thing” were frequent, acknowledging the two-ended benefits of the tours. The guides are argued to be important pieces in a slum experience, defending their first-hand knowledge and active role in the slums´ development. The analysis highlighted that their experience was authentic and not considered voyeuristic, and slums were framed as places of interesting cultural expressions, hope, happiness, hard work, but of huge inequalities and injustice. Guided tours were, in this regard, very informative and educational, framed as a step in the right direction, and as mean to contribute in some way
