DOWNLOAD EBOOKTourism is one of the largest and most powerful industries in the world today. On any given day millions of people are visiting destinations all across the world, domestically and internationally. Tourism literature suggests that cognitive, affective, and conative knowledge about locations shape "destination image" and inspire people to (re)visit destinations. These destination images are informed by a number of factors, including personal experience and knowledge, along with the things we see, hear, or read from media sources and others' experiences. However, tourists are not the only group that creates mental images of places. For residents, their "destination image" is referred to as an evaluative image of the city where they live. This study investigates how crime mediates the images and opinions we hold about the places we live and visit. Data collection took place in Savannah, Georgia, a popular tourist destination that experienced a severe spike in violent crime in 2015 and 2016. This study will address the questions, "Are the evaluative images towards crime in Savannah different between residents and tourists? If so, how are they different?" and "Do social media and/or online travel reviews influence tourists' destination image and risk perception of Savannah?" Evaluative mapping exercises and survey methods collected responses from 60 individuals (26 residents and 34 tourists) in the city's Historic District. Through spatial, cultural domain, and statistical analyses, residents' and tourists' images of the city were compared to find if significant differences in crime awareness, attitudes towards crime, and/or likelihood to recommend and revisit Savannah existed. Results showed that residents and tourists had similar evaluative images of the Savannah, both of which were positive. However, residents had statistically higher crime awareness and risk perceptions than tourists and were more likely to cite crime as a reason not to recommend the city to others. They also felt that greater areas of the city were unsafe. Sources where individuals gathered information about Savannah and crime were also investigated. Special attention was given to compare how these sources and the information collected impacted the risk perception and familiarity between tourists who used social media and/or online travel reviews and those who did not. While it appeared that these sources increased familiarity and reduced risk perception, the results were not statistically significant. Findings from this study provide insight into how various groups perceive Savannah's cultural landscape and crime risks. Currently, it does not seem that crime is affecting the city's tourism industry or experience of tourists, as 100% said they would recommend the city to others. City officials and tourism workers can use these results as validation to continue marketing and promoting Savannah's historical significance, natural beauty, and southern charm as these were common themes cited by residents and tourists. In particular, with over 70% of tourists reporting that they used social media and online travel reviews before making their trip, marketing through these avenues presents a great opportunity for the city and its businesses to generate interest and attract customers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNATIONAL BESTSELLER • A modern classic of true crime, set in a most beguiling Southern city—now in a 30th anniversary edition with a new afterword by the author “Elegant and wicked . . . might be the first true-crime book that makes the reader want to book a bed and breakfast for an extended weekend at the scene of the crime.”—The New York Times Book Review Shots rang out in Savannah’s grandest mansion in the misty, early morning hours of May 2, 1981. Was it murder or self-defense? For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares. In this sharply observed, suspenseful, and witty narrative, John Berendt skillfully interweaves a hugely entertaining first-person account of life in this isolated remnant of the Old South with the unpredictable twists and turns of a landmark murder case. It is a spellbinding story peopled by a gallery of remarkable characters: the well-bred society ladies of the Married Woman’s Card Club; the turbulent young gigolo; the hapless recluse who owns a bottle of poison so powerful it could kill every man, woman, and child in Savannah; the aging and profane Southern belle who is the “soul of pampered self-absorption”; the uproariously funny drag queen; the acerbic and arrogant antiques dealer; the sweet-talking, piano-playing con artist; young people dancing the minuet at the black debutante ball; and Minerva, the voodoo priestess who works her magic in the graveyard at midnight. These and other Savannahians act as a Greek chorus, with Berendt revealing the alliances, hostilities, and intrigues that thrive in a town where everyone knows everyone else. Brilliantly conceived and masterfully written, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is a sublime and seductive reading experience.
