20、 to the “sustainability” part, independent of whether such an approach leads to development or not in the strict material sense of the term. Tourism theoreticians, especially the sociological school, try to take a middle

23、some, lies in our failure to appreciate in total the diverse conceptions that different communities hold – worldviews that are gestalts (Clark, 1991) which effectively prohibit attempts to compound these conceptions (
24、each of which are meaningful to at least the members of the espousing community) into a richer and more encompassing reality. Such an encompassing reality would be more agreeable to the ecological school than is the econ

27、 The GATS is an international treaty within the WTO system establishing the multilateral trade rules governing cross-border trade in services. The three negotiating principles defining GATS are to:</p><p>
28、 create a multilateral framework of principles and rules regarding services trade and elaboration of possible disciplines for individual services sectors;</p><p> expand trade in services in a transparent m
29、anner and through a continuous process of liberalization; and</p><p> promote the economic growth of all trading partners and the development of developing countries through progressive services market open
30、ing.</p><p> Four modes of service supply</p><p> GATS identifies four modes of supply of services:</p><p> “cross-border supply of services” (in which the service is supplied fr
31、om the territory of one member into the territory of another member);</p><p> “consumption abroad” (in which the service is supplied in the territory of one member to a service consumer coming from another
32、member);</p><p> “commercial presence” (in which the service is supplied by setting up a business or professional establishment in the territory of one member by a service supplier of another member); and&l
33、t;/p><p> “movement of natural persons” (in which a human being from one WTO member going to the territory of another member to provide a service there for short-term, non-immigrant, business-related purposes)
34、.</p><p> It may be noted that among the four modes of supply for services previewed by GATS – cross border supply, consumption abroad, commercial presence, and presence of natural persons – tourism is spec
35、ifically represented in the mode of “consumption abroad.” Examples of the four modes include the following:</p><p> A Thai sex tourism provider offering virtual sex service in India and facilitating electro
36、nic booking of packages to Pattaya, Thailand.</p><p> An Indian national on a trip to the US catered by the US hotelier. (The percentage of members putting no restriction on market access is highest
37、here.)</p><p> A US destination developer acquiring the rural tourism resources in the backwater regions of Kerala, India as a separate subsidiary corporation under Indian laws.</p><p> This s
38、ame US-based corporation sends a US planner to oversee the operations in India. (This is the mode which has received the stiffest resistance.)</p><p> Some key challenges</p><p> The travel an
39、d tourism industry is a multilateralizing industry regulated on a global, national, and regional basis. The full liberalization of tourism services should be a win-win situation for all. However, the potentially predator
40、y practices of a few dominant suppliers in the world tourism markets are creating inequities. None-the-less, global decision makers have determined to take the world through the path of free trade. Therefore, the best po
41、ssible course of action for interested parties </p><p> Governments should recognize that the GATS process is not all positive. GATS, in some cases, may be a one-way street toward increased limitations on e

45、 thoughts and democracy, international</p><p> understanding and peace, good governance, and respect for human rights. It can lead to the replacement of inefficient, polluting technology with more modern
46、 equipment. It can generate the wealth needed to address development problems. A rising standard of living will usually lead to a stronger demand for environmental quality. However, it must be remembered that these oppor

72、gt;</p><p> 在我們所生活的世界里,有關國際貿(mào)易協(xié)定方面,大型跨國公司在與國家和政府的談判中執(zhí)掌巨大的經(jīng)濟力量。誠然,許多這樣的協(xié)議并非出自于跨國公司對那些以前無法進入的地區(qū)和市場增加的準入要求的需要。歐洲和美國以及他們的州政府的服務業(yè)已經(jīng)在積極游說和進一步推動《服務貿(mào)易總協(xié)定》(GATS)的自由化。他們的主要游說團體包括歐洲服務業(yè)論壇和美國服務行業(yè)聯(lián)盟。部分地出于這個原因,關于企業(yè)道德商業(yè)慣例和尋
73、求一個更加公平的貿(mào)易體系的呼聲逐漸增加(Sinclair, 2000)。</p><p> 20世紀結(jié)束和新世紀開始時,貿(mào)易的一個顯著特征是區(qū)域貿(mào)易協(xié)定和多邊協(xié)議的擴張。服務的國際化是當今經(jīng)濟全球化的核心。服務貿(mào)易協(xié)定作為世界貿(mào)易組織(WTO)于1994年形成的結(jié)構的一部分,被期待著將對全世界人民的日常生活及生活環(huán)境產(chǎn)生至關重要的影響。自從談判在高度壓縮的時間表中實施以來,該框架的真正影響就已經(jīng)開始出現(xiàn)了。服務
74、業(yè)預計占全球GDP的61%,是當今跨國生產(chǎn)鏈條中塑造全球經(jīng)濟的關鍵因素。包含旅游業(yè)(據(jù)一部分人稱是開啟世界全球化進程的消費主義的終極范例)的服務部門走在極致的前列(Handszuh, 2001)。旅游業(yè)占服務貿(mào)易總協(xié)定承諾的最大一部分比例(128)。不論是什么發(fā)展水平,旅游部門都是所有國家展示具體的和量化的貿(mào)易機會的服務部門中的一員(Paton, 2003)。然而,服務貿(mào)易總協(xié)定的終極目標是使每個世界貿(mào)易組織國家的每個服務部門商業(yè)化,包
75、含諸如醫(yī)療保健、教育和飲用水等的基礎服務業(yè)。</p><p> 可持續(xù)旅游的政治經(jīng)濟學理論:在發(fā)展中國家,理論和實踐旅游業(yè)作為一個產(chǎn)業(yè)正在迅速增加。由于基于中心-邊緣依賴、全球化和自由貿(mào)易的全球貿(mào)易關系的歷史性不平等,主流大眾旅游加劇了南部目的地的社會和經(jīng)濟缺點。因此,一些人認為現(xiàn)代旅游業(yè)是殖民主義的延伸(Palmer, 1994)。</p><p> 多年以來,評論家已經(jīng)構建了一個國
76、際旅游方面依附理論的論述。至少直到19世紀中期,探索、狩獵和貿(mào)易主宰了旅游業(yè)的目的(Chachage, 1999)。因為索取是這種旅游的本質(zhì),所以殖民列強及其代理控制了收益和發(fā)展方向。這些活動在殖民地中引發(fā)了生態(tài)資源的巨大消耗。直到今天,旅游仍然是少數(shù)人的特權。世界貿(mào)易組織預測,到2020年,只有7%的世界人口會出國旅行。我們可以看到隱藏在當今“探險旅游”和“生態(tài)旅游”的發(fā)展中的是對“異國風情”探索的推動力(Poon, 1998)。即使
77、是在今天,控制和訪問游客數(shù)量的機制和策略,以及發(fā)送國和東道國在保留旅游支出上的斗爭,都沒有本質(zhì)上的區(qū)別。盡管在比較優(yōu)勢上擁有豐富的資源,發(fā)展中國家和他們的旅游實體仍然比發(fā)達的商業(yè)(國家)伙伴承受著更強烈的成本和發(fā)展壓力(Hindley and Smith, 1994)。不考慮所有的浪漫主義,現(xiàn)實的底線是,旅游是一個“商業(yè)交易,是在世界市場上待售的商品”。從不同的觀點出發(fā),在傳統(tǒng)觀念上認為單一地說旅游業(yè)好是有問題的(Grassl, 199
78、9)。</p><p> 西方發(fā)達國家的世界觀趨向于強調(diào)“發(fā)展”是可持續(xù)發(fā)展的一部分,但是東方的世界觀通常認為“可持續(xù)”部分更重要,而不依賴于是否這種方法在術語的嚴格意義上導致了發(fā)展。旅游理論家,尤其是社會學派,試圖嘗試全面的中間途徑。對他們來說,可持續(xù)旅游是以開發(fā)和維護的形式存在的,它在無限時間內(nèi)是可行的,并不降低或改變自然和人文環(huán)境,它在某種程度上阻止了其他活動和進程的運作(Jafari, 2000)。&l
79、t;/p><p> 一些人認為,我們的困惑在于對不同概念的理解錯誤——世界觀是有效地阻止那些試圖混淆更豐富更圍繞現(xiàn)實的概念(至少每個概念對擁護團隊的成員來說是有意義的)的完全形態(tài)(Clark, 1991)。相比經(jīng)濟,對手傾向于通過精確的、科學的、良好定義的目標和計量方法來達到目的,圍繞現(xiàn)實對生態(tài)來說更令人愉快。一些“科學”的經(jīng)濟學家的堅決的態(tài)度背叛了他們的知識慣性,他們忘記了市場理性不是別的,而是對市場的個人理解的

88、幾乎不可能扭轉(zhuǎn)的。國家可以對他們的承諾列出限制,但一旦他們這樣做,他們只能增加那些限制或在等待三年后才能完全的扭轉(zhuǎn)一個承諾,然后提供補償 (通過開放另一個部門的自由化)。尤其是對于發(fā)展中國家來說,這樣的規(guī)則可能會在處理跨國投資事物上捆綁住政府的解決策略(克曼和布拉加,1997年)。</p><p> 國際旅游的自由化可以對發(fā)展和環(huán)境產(chǎn)生極為積極的影響,特別是與世界上許多采取限制型發(fā)展模式的地區(qū)相比。它可以打開國

94、致力于去建立相關的規(guī)則去管理服務貿(mào)易,包括旅游和旅游產(chǎn)業(yè),以及去提供一個用于多邊談判的架構,為了提高跨國服務和服務供應者的市場準入。它反映出服務貿(mào)易的經(jīng)濟重要性的意識在不斷增長,同時在全世界各國之間的相互依賴,緊密合作的需求在不斷增長(李和阿爾,2002年)。正確恰當?shù)募軜嫼蛯嵤埂斗召Q(mào)易總協(xié)定 》成為至關重要的一步,預示著國際經(jīng)濟合作時代的到來。</p><p> 《服務貿(mào)易總協(xié)定》的待辦事項,大體上仍然
95、是未經(jīng)測試,并且旅游業(yè)服務的規(guī)定所涉及的復雜性使錯誤計算的可能性幾率更大。2006年7月17號,在圣彼得斯堡召開的世貿(mào)組織首腦會議上,八國集團和金磚五國(即中國、巴西、印度、南非和墨西哥)國家領導人強調(diào)有必要達成多哈協(xié)議,并呼吁他們的談判人員恢復會談,以便在一個月內(nèi)縮小現(xiàn)有差距。然而,并沒有達成協(xié)議,并且多國達成一致要抽出時間去重新考慮他們的立場。主要的障礙是三角關系中兩個農(nóng)業(yè)基礎框架里,市場準入和國內(nèi)支持。當談判再次展開時它尚不清晰。
96、《服務貿(mào)易總協(xié)定》,包括對旅游業(yè)影響的規(guī)定,是多哈回合談判的一部分,它的未來也肯定是不能被確定的。盡管世貿(mào)組織一直在敦促各方去推進發(fā)展,這個回合仍沒有在2006年明確地完成。在這兩者之間,貿(mào)易爭端有可能增加,以及雙邊和區(qū)域協(xié)定可能激增。不確定因素可能會產(chǎn)生干涉的力量使談判的整個軌跡改變方向(瑪特圖,1999年)。</p><p> 旅游業(yè)作為一個辯論的主題卻沒有被任何值得提及的國家所擁護,除了像來自于多米尼亞共
