    Many authors in service management have pointed out that "loyalty" is critical factor of customer retention, and revealed component of service loyalty. By contrast, many authors in tourism have researched motivation to destinations. Motivation is one of the most basic and important factors of creating tourism demands for a specific destination. However, there are few tourism research studies to link visitors' motivation and their loyalty, since those topics appear to have been covered in separate research framework by different researchers. This paper aims to integrate motivation into service management study's model and verify whether there can be any significant relationship between customer's push motivation and loyalty. We found that visitor's motivation was one of the factors of loyalty.

    Tourists visit destinations which have been well-known through various kinds of media. The purpose of this paper is to identify changes of values embedded in tourism discourses through analyzing guidebooks, travel magazines, and travel articles in newspapers, hi this study, I analyze tourism discourses on Kumano area in Wakayama Prefecture based on 'social constructionist' approach. Kumano area was designated as a national park in 1936, and was recently designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2004. The result of the analysis is that, although Kumano Pilgrimage Routes is now attracting a lot of people, Doro valley, which had been estimated geologically, had been the most valuable place in Kumano from 1955 to 1970 (or 1990 in guidebook). These changes have occurred in connection with growing social attention to national history and tradition.

    The purpose of this study is to identify the meaning of tourism for elderly in Japan. In order to identify the goal of this study, an interview was conducted on persons concerned in the travel agency regarding the meaning of tourism for elderly, and an in-depth interview was conducted on elderly about their tourism experiences in addition to their life history. For elderly, tourism was not only related to pursuing individual pleasure. Instead, the delight they perceived from tourism is deeply connected to elements like memories with families or other people as well as their personal experiences in life. Additionally, unlike how 「tourism」 is considered as a modern invention, elderly regard 「trip」 and 「travel」 as a valuable part of their lives. As a result, this caused for reconsideration to be made in this study for the meaning of tourism.

    This study aims to elucidate relationship between differences in the objects that visitors gaze on in a historical district and their impression of the district. The results of a questionnaire survey for visitors in the historical districts in Takayama-shi, Gifu prefecture, suggest that visitors who gaze on a wide range of objects may have favourable impressions of the district in terms of its unity and uniqueness. Resultantly, the efficacy of the presentation of multifaceted aspects of a historical district to visitors is suggested. Visitors who gaze on local aspects, but do not focus on people, are implied to perceive a historical district to be less touristic.
