Biofuel blending reduces particle emissions from aircraft engines at cruise conditions.
2017
Aviation-related aerosol emissions contribute to the formation of contrail cirrus clouds that can alter upper tropospheric radiation and water budgets, and therefore climate1. The magnitude of air-traffic-related aerosol–cloud interactions and the ways in which these interactions might change in the future remain uncertain. Modelling studies of the present and future effects of aviation on climate require detailed information about the number of aerosol particles emitted per kilogram of fuel burned and the microphysical properties of those aerosols that are relevant for cloud formation. However, previous observational data at cruise altitudes are sparse for engines burning conventional fuel…
Comparative analysis of major travel and tourism indicators: Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, 2010
2011
Straipsnio tikslas – lyginant svarbiausius statistinius rodiklius rasti Baltijos šalių turizmo rinkos bendrumus ir ypatumus. Tuo tikslu buvo daroma literatūros šaltinių apžvalga bei analizė, taikoma indukcija bei dedukcija, o taip pat tokie statistiniai metodai, kaip grupavimas, agregavimas bei lyginimas. Tyrimas rodo, kad Estijos kelionių bei turizmo industrijos dalis tiek bendrajame vidaus produkte, tiek ir darbuotojų skaičiumi yra didžiausia ir viršija Europos sąjungos atitinkamų rodiklių vidurkius. Estija tarp Baltijos šalių užima lyderio pozicijas tiek su nakvyne atvykstančių užsienio lankytojų skaičiumi, tiek jų lankytojų šalyje praleistų naktų skaičiumi. Lietuvoje nakvynės paslaugas …
Creating futures images for sustainable cruise ships : insights on collaborative foresight for sustainability enhancement
2021
The aim of the study was to explore futures images of collaborative sustainability enhancement within a cruise ship building network. Addressing collaborative sustainability at the organizational level rather than at the macro (regional or planetary) level, the paper explores socially constructed and shared futures images, which are less widely studied than individual-level images of the future. We advance an analytical model for constructing and evaluating collectively held futures images based on the structure and content of those images. From our data, we identified four futures images: Money rules; The customer is always right; Local economy focus; and The most sustainable ships in the …
Die mediterrane Faszination. Die erste deutsche Mittelmeer- und Orientkreuzfahrt
2022
El 22 de enero de 1891, el emperador Guillermo II despidió en Cuxhaven el barco de pasajeros Augusta Victoria, que recorrería durante dos meses el Mediterráneo y algunas de sus ciudades más importantes, inaugurando así la era de los cruceros de placer. A bordo viajaban 241 acaudalados pasajeros, entre ellos el dibujante Ch. W. Allers, que escribió sus memorias de viaje en Ba-ckschisch. El primer crucero alemán por el Mediterráneo, ofreciendo con ello un testimonio único de la fascinación mediterránea en la época imperialista. Basado en un sentimiento eurocéntrico y nacional, el Mediterráneo es percibido por el microcosmos de viajeros alemanes como una unidad geográfica e ideológica. Los ras…

Host community perceptions of cruise tourism in a homeport: A cluster analysis
2018
Abstract This study applies a factor-cluster analysis to a sample of 321 residents in the city of Valencia based on their perceptions of the impacts of cruises on their city. Three clusters of residents were identified, namely 'pessimists', 'cautious supporters' and 'optimists'. Overall, the findings reveal that most respondents doubt the magnitude of positive impact in terms of welfare, social, economic and heritage aspects. Furthermore, there are significant differences between the three clusters, based on age and geographical proximity to the tourist area and port. No significant differences were found based on gender, level of education, numbers of members in household, occupation, leng…
Cross-cultural Perceptions of Onshore Guided Tours: A Qualitative Approach Based on eWOM
2016
Recognizing the importance of the study of guided tour experiences and being aware of the cross-cultural variations of services’ perceptions, the purpose of this article is to examine if cruise tourists from the two main generating markets (Europe and North America) perceive differently a port of call guided tour based on the content of the eWOM generated. The data set was comprised of 334 reviews on guided tours undertaken in Spanish ports of call and published during the period 2009–2015 on the major travel Web site Tripadvisor. The thematic content analysis of the data was performed using the text mining software Leximancer. The results yielded different pictures for the experiences desc…
Impact of incentives on tourist activity in space-time
2020
Abstract No tourism study to date, has examined the ability of incentives to shape the spatio-temporal behaviour of tourists. Data collected from the port of Palermo in Sicily (Italy), using traditional survey instruments as well as GPS technology, was employed to investigate the effect of incentives on cruise passengers' space-time activities. The results show the incentives' clear and significant impact in influencing the space-time activities of cruise passengers' while visiting the city. Understanding the movement patterns of visitors at destinations can give destination managers information that can assist in dealing with the negative effects of overtourism that are caused due to high …
Una convergenza oggettiva tra mafia, terrorismo e forze eversive
2017
«Il vero nodo da sciogliere oggi è perciò quello della mafia inserita nell’attuale sistema di potere. Affrontare questo tema significa entrare nell’ordine di idee di costruire un nuovo sistema di potere, basato veramente sulla democrazia politica e sulla democrazia economica in Sicilia». Così, nel lontano 1964, e in poche sintetiche frasi, Pio La Torre offre ai deputati dell’Assemblea Regionale siciliana una lucida analisi del fenomeno mafioso; nella quale la militanza politica è indisgiungibile da una precisa idea di società e di democrazia. La mafia è un problema politico e della politica; poiché mina alla base il principio di uguaglianza e di giustizia sociale. Lo scontro con i gabelloti…
Individual and Contextual Determinants of Cruise Passengers’ Behavior at Their Destination: A Survival Approach
2020
The proposed study will present an analysis of cruise passengers’ behavior at their destination. Mobility behavior will be analyzed in relation to socio-demographic characteristics through a survival modeling approach. Data collected through GPS devices on cruise passengers’ behavior in the ports of Palermo and Dubrovnik will be analyzed in order to determine similarities and differences among cruise passengers’ behaviors at their destination, according to socio-demographic characteristics. The authors of this chapter contend that the results of this research, involving the processing and the analysis of GPS data, will be of interest from methodological and destination management perspectiv…
