Resumen de Tourism visioning: implementing a primary stakeholder approach
Cody Morris Paris, Richard C Knopf, Katheleen L. Andereck
Following a discussion on the relationship between participatory planning, collaboration, and tourism visioning, this article describes the development of a tourism-specific visioning process. A case study of a facilitated tourism visioning process in the city of Surprise, Arizona, USA is presented. This case study provides an example of the potential power of the visioning process for a destination community developing a tourism vision to guide collaborative tourism planning. Insights from three stakeholder workshops are discussed in two contexts: (1) long-term recommendations of what is needed for implementing a successful tourism visioning process and development of a community tourism plan, and (2) a manageable set of short-term 'successes' that could be accomplished by stakeholders collaborating to establish a tourism vision.
