LAS MUJERES COMO AGENTES PARA LA COHESIÓN TERRITORIAL DE LOS DESTINOS TURÍSTICOS RURALES

2020

Resumen. Las mujeres rurales, presentes, pero invisibles en los procesos emergentes del medio rural, se revelan como colectivo impulsor para la reconstrucción de los territorios rurales. Este segmento de la población promueve procesos creativos que dinamizan el mundo rural e instrumenta estrategias de diversificación necesarias para sostener la vida y el territorio. Estas estrategias dan lugar a la diversificación de las funciones productivas del territorio y posibilitan la creación de destinos turísticos rurales sostenibles y de enfoque territorial. No obstante, no se muestran modificaciones significativas en la división del trabajo por género. A través de un análisis cualitativo, realizad…

Individual consistency and sex differences in migration strategies of Scopoli’s shearwaters Calonectris diomedea despite year differences

2014

Abstract Recently-developed capabilities for tracking the movements of individual birds over the course of a year or longer has provided increasing evidence for consistent individual differences in migration schedules and destinations. This raises questions about the relative importance of individual consistency versus flexibility in the evolution of migration strategies, and has implications for the ability of populations to respond to climatic change. Using geolocators, we tracked the migrations of Scopoli’s shearwaters Calonectris diomedea breeding in Linosa (Italy) across three years, and analysed timing and spatial aspects of their movements. Birds showed remarkable variation in their …

Competitiveness and Sustainability in tourist firms and destinations

2020

Tourism is a major activity in the global economy, not only in terms of its economic impact but also its social and environmental implications. The management practices and processes adopted by tourist companies and destinations are very heterogeneous and have variable impacts on the triple-bottom-line sustainability (people, profit, planet) of the ecosystem. However, there is still only limited available knowledge about the value of different practices for promoting both sustainable development and greater competitiveness. This Special Issue includes papers that present new ideas, theories, advancements, experiences, evidence or methodologies that support the convergence of economic, socia…

Building composite indicators in tourism studies: Measurements and applications in tourism destination competitiveness

2017

Abstract Composite indicators are useful tools to synthesize and monitor multidimensional phenomena. The aim of this paper is twofold: to offer the methodological foundations to build composite indicators in tourism and to evaluate a set of currently available composite indicators. Tourism destination competitiveness indicators constitute the object of this contribution. Their definitions, concepts and measures are analyzed and their evaluation is performed through the application of an original protocol. The results highlight that several methodological issues still surround the measurement of destinations competitiveness indicators. This paper provides tourism scholars and practitioners w…

Measuring integration in new countries of immigration

2018

Abstract The purpose of this study is to develop a framework to measure immigrant integration in emerging immigrant destinations. After several decades of intensive research, the definition and assessment of immigrants’ integration remains elusive. Increasingly more attempts have been made to foster scientific progress in the field in the las decades. Yet, immigrant integration in emerging destination countries remains particularly little studied despite several calls for more research on the topic. The developed integration framework (i.e. the Integration Score) is composed of 6 dimensions and 24 indicators of integration (4 indicators for every dimension). To empirically test the validity…

Service Quality Scales and Tourists with Special Needs: A Systematic Review

2019

This paper reviews the most commonly used scales for measuring service quality in sustainable tourism destinations to analyse if the requirements of tourists with special needs are considered. Results highlight that most of the recent research on service quality in tourism published in scientific journals is focused on a relative reduced number of validated scales. Variables related to tourists with special needs are often omitted or represent a reduced weight in the complete scale. Thus, this paper highlights the importance of including variables that collect the perceptions of service quality in this target group to better understand the individual perception of service quality and to mov…
