1.0 Paternity Leave For Men Paternity leave is taken by fathers after the birth of a child. Paternity leave is given to father so that he can spend time with the new-born child and older children, help out at home and giving support to his partner(Peter,2006). A recent research found that fifteen out of twenty-two countries under review have paternity leave which varies from two to ten days and it is usually paid on the same basis as maternity leave(Peter,2006). The country, Iceland, improve its nine months post-natal leave period by dividing equally between fathers and mothers The first nation which offers paid paternity leave in year 1974 is Sweden. The National Labor Market Board stated that men have the right to take responsibility for their children on the same basis as women. Paternity

    A Qualitative Assessment on How Cultural Villages Influence Tourism Development in South Africa

    Many researchers have examined social cultural impacts of cultural tourism in different destinations with the help of tourism related models. Alhasanat (2008) cited that social cultural impacts are divided into three categories: positive consequences, negative consequences and no real social impacts. For instance, a previous study in Latvia found out the locals there noticed the positive consequences in a friendly and trusty way. In contrary, a study in Botswana found out opposite findings, which shows negative consequences such as increasing prostitution rates and extra use of alcohol by residents. Besides, a study in Hawaii found that the locals did not notice any specific impacts of tourism. However, these previous researches create some areas for improvement. First, most of them conducted research through the locals’ perception but fail to reflect the visitors’ perception on their experience in the cultural villages. Second, the results obtained from a global measure by using tourism theory models would not be always applicable when focus on one particular destination.…

    Case Study in Baguio

    Socio-cultural can be easily understood by anyone because it only defines the interaction of people and different kinds of culture and tourism is one of the reasons there have been a generation of socio-cultural impacts. Socio-cultural impacts of tourism are described as the effects on the host communities of direct and indirect interaction with the tourists and the relation with the tourism industry. The impacts arise when tourism brings about changes in value systems and behavior and thereby threatens indigenous identity. Furthermore, changes often occur in community structure, family relationships, collective traditional life styles, ceremonies and morality. But tourism can also generate positive impacts as it can serve as a supportive force for peace, foster pride in cultural traditions and help avoid urban relocation by creating local jobs. As often happens when different cultures meet, socio-cultural impacts are ambiguous: the same objectively described impacts are seen as beneficial by some groups, and are perceived as negative - or as having negative aspects - by other stakeholders.…

    Tourism and Community Involvement

    The co-relationship between tourism development and host communities has proven to be a powerful combination in deciding the possibility and future of tourism development in a given destination. Aref (2011) supplements that in spite of skills and awareness, the pace of tourism development at a destination is measured by how host communities perceive tourism development. Host communities are the major stakeholders to decide the future of tourism for they are dependable suppliers in the tourism industry (Holden, 2008). The local residents can exclusively pose a deterrent effect on tourism if not given priority or badly involved. Horner and Swarbrooke (2004) claims that the failure to create democratic systems and procedures to enable community members to become actively involved and take responsibility for their own development has arguably crippled tourism development in Africa. This means communities are deprived of decision-making powers, and therefore developers may be reluctant to formulate tourism strategies with sound institutional frameworks based on partnerships between the host communities and other stakeholders. This piece of work is therefore designed to establish how host communities can drive tourism, what necessary elements must be considered in involving communities so that tourism development is a success venture at destinations.…
