Profiling Tourists for Balanced Utilization of Tourism-Based Resources in Kenya
No full textKenya is predominantly a nature-based tourism destination with wildlife (concentrated in the southern part of the country) and beaches (along the Indian Ocean) accounting for over 85% of the international tourists visiting the country. Other attractions are based on the physical landscape of the country and the culture of the people. Unfortunately, the full potential of culture-based attractions has not been exploited. The over-concentration of tourism activities in wildlife protected areas and on the coastal zone has had inherent problems that include severe environmental degradation. The less visited attractions stand the risk of neglect and could be eroded from the nation’s heritage with time. There is need to diversify tourism activities and spread them to other parts of the country by putting more emphasis on non-traditional ones such as cultural excursions. This research profiles tourists based on their preferences as assessed from the number of days they spend at different attraction sites. By associating the characteristics of tourists with various attractions, consumer preference profiles were established. Length of stay, presence of children, travel party size and gender are some of the significant factors that determined the profiles. Profiles can be used in encouraging proportionately more tourists with greater affinity for non-traditional attractions. Besides gender, other factors such as socio-economic status and whether one is travelling as a couple or not, turned out to be significant variables in influencing the resulting expenditure levels.Tourist profiles, Attractions, Culture, Expenditure, LISREL, Kenya
Tourism Industrial Linkages In Rwanda’s Economy
No full textMeasurement of tourism economic impacts is important in monitoring progress towards meeting planned socio-economic goals. However, there has been insufficient attention to rigorous analysis of the ramifications of tourism beyond accounting for initial impacts. This study evaluates economic impacts of tourism in Rwanda by examining its effects on employment, labor incomes, and output and value addition. Rwanda’s 2014 Input-Output tables was used to compute direct, indirect, induced and total (SAM Type) multipliers which were interacted with internal tourism demand data from Rwanda’s 2014 tourism satellite account to estimate impacts. Labor income, output and value added multipliers indicate that tourism has strong linkages with service sectors, while the employment multiplier indicates robust linkages with agriculture. Results indicate that internal tourism demand created 29% of all jobs, generated 9.7% of labor incomes, 11.1% of total value addition and 12% of national output in 2014. Therefore, increasing internal tourism demand in Rwanda will lead to higher labor income, increased output and value addition and higher employment in agriculture and other associated sectors. This study’s main contribution is taking into account the predominantly informal sector of Rwanda’s economy especially with respect to the domestic tourism market. Future studies could estimate the magnitude of leakages from the economy through consumption and production processes
Ueber und aus Reden von zwei syrischen Kirchenvätern über das Leiden Jesu
No full textIn the two articles reprinted here from the Theologische Quartalschrift, nos. 52 (1870) and 53 (1871), Pius Zingerle surveys, in German, two cycles of poems on Jesus’ suffering and death: six poems from Isaac of Antioch and eight from Jacob of Sarug. His aim is to look at how two different Syriac authors expound the same theme, in this case, the events surrounding Jesus’ crucifixion. Zingerle first gives a synopsis of the fourteen poems and then gives selections from them in German with brief commentary. The themes touched on include Jesus’ fulfilling of Old Testament texts, symbolism between Jesus’ actions and other biblical narratives, the Sacraments, the thieves beside Jesus at the crucifixion, virginity, the disciples’ flight at Jesus’ crucifixion, Peter’s denial, Jesus’ time in the grave as the fulfillment of the Old Testament Sabbath and the inauguration of the new creation, and the fact that Jesus really did suffer (against Docetism, etc.). This early survey of these two important Syriac authors remains valuable for its presentation of how Syriac writers interact with and preach Scripture.Reprinted from the Theologische Quartalschrift, nos. 52 (1870) and 53 (1871

Papież Pius XII wobec Szoah. Artykuł sprawozdawczy
No full textCzy Pius XII jest winny lub współwinny zagłady Żydów w czasie II wojny światowej? Odpowiedź Żydów – świadków, którzy przeżyli Shoah, jest jednomyślna: nikomu tyle nie zawdzięczają, ile temu papieżowi. Sztuka teatralna „Namiestnik” z 1963 r. radykalnie zmieniła tę opinię na niekorzyść papieża: został uznany (głównym) winowajcą zagłady. Ekspozycja przygotowana w Muzeum Męczeństwa Yad Vashem w Jerozolimie w 2005 r. sformułowała winę papieża Piusa XII w siedmiu oskarżeniach-zarzutach: 1. zawarł konkordat z Hitlerem; 2. nie ogłosił antyrasistowskiej encykliki przygotowanej przez Piusa XI; 3. nie reagował protestem na relacje o postępującej zagładzie; 4. uchylił się od podpisania deklaracji aliantów w 1942 r. potępiającej eksterminację; 5. nie ochronił Żydów rzymskich; 6. zachowywał neutralność; 7. milczał wobec ludobójstwa. Autor usiłuje wykazać niesłuszność tych zarzutów.Is Pope Pius XII an accomplice or responsible for the extinction of the Jews during the World War II? The answer of the Jews - the witnesses who survived the Shoah are unanimous: they are grateful only to this Pope. The performance called The Deputy changed radically that opinion to the Pope's disadvantage. He is supposed to be the (main) culprit of the extinction. An exposition prepared in 2005 in The Holocaust History Museum in Jerusalem raised seven objections to the Pope Pius XII: 1. He made a concordat with Hitler, 2. He missed publishing the encyclical prepared by his predecessor Pius XI, 3. He didn't protest against the information about the progressive extinction, 4. He didn't sign the allies declaration condemning the extinction from 1942, 5. He didn't protect the Roman Jews; 6. He kept the neutrality, 7. He was silent against the genocide. The author of the article tries to prove that that objections are wrong. War der Papst Pius XII. mitschuldig an der Vernichtung der Juden im Laufe des Zweiten Weltkrieges? Die Antwort der Juden - Zeugen, die die Shoah überlebt haben, ist einstimmig: niemand verdanken sie so viel, wie diesem Papst. Das Theaterstück "Stelvertreter" aus dem Jahre 1963 radikal veränderte diese Sicht zu Ungunsten des Papstes: er sei der (größte) Schuldige an der Vernichtung. Eine 2005 im Museum des Martyriums in Yad Vashem vorbereitete Ausstellung formulierte die Schuld des Papstes Pius XII. in sieben Vorwürfen: 1. Er schloss das Konkordat mit Hitler, 2. Er veröffentlichte nicht eine durch Pius XI. vorbereitete Enzyklika, 3. Er reagierte mit keinem Protest auf die Nachrichten über die forrtschreitende Vernichtung, 4. Er weigerte sich, die 1942 veröffentlichte und die Exterminierung verurteilende Deklaration der Allierten zu unterschreiben, 5. Er beschützte nicht die römischen Juden, 6. Er bewahrte die Neutralität, 7. Er schwieg angesichts des Genocides. Der Autor dieses Artikels versucht, die Grundlosigkeit dieser Vorwürfe zu beweisen.
Pius XII. und die Geistlichen im KZ Dachau
No full textThe article publishes—for the first time—a letter written in December 1942 in the Sedelhof, Emmenbrücke, near Lucerne, concerning the incarcerated priests in the Dachau concentration camp. Its author is the German refugee Walter Ferber (1907-1996) and its recipient the Apostolic Nuncio in Switzerland, Filippo Bernardini (1884-1954). Bernardini forwards the letter to the Vatican Secretary of State, Luigi Maglione (1877-1944). Maglione’s reply to Bernardini shows that the Vatican knew about the crimes committed in concentration camps since at least December 1942, and explains the lack of public intervention by Pope Pius XII concerning the incarcerated priests in Dachau and, in part, the Nazi extermination policy in general. Despite this lack of public intervention, Pope Pius XII uses the term “the holocaust” (l'olocausto) already in his Christmas message of December 24, 1942

Pius XI’s encyclical Dilectissima nobis as a reaction to attempts to limit religious freedom in Spain
No full textThis article reviews the most import ant topics in the encyclical of Pius Xi titled Dilectissima nobis in which the Pope expresses his opposition to the persecution of the Catholic Church and to attempts to restrict religious freedom in Spain during the 1930s. The Church was regarded as an enemy of the state and of social progress. The first two sections of the article provide the historical background of Spanish anti-clericalism and its increasing hostility to the Church. The third section shows how legislators successfully took away the Church’s ability to function in society. The fourth section discusses the most important topics in the encyclical Dilectissima nobis. In the last section, the author presents the person of Pope Pius XI in the context of his time. He was an enemy of communist ideology, which enslaved man, and a great defender of human dignity
