The promotion of tourism in Italian regions from a sensorial perspective: a website content analysis
2022
Recent tourism literature has identified the sensory dimension as key to understanding, planning and marketing tourist experiences. This paper aims to understand to what extent Italian regions consider the sensorial perspective in tourist communication, focusing the analysis on their institutional websites. We used the content analysis method considering two different periods to investigate the evolution of Italian tourism promotion. The results show that for all institutional websites, over time, attention engages only some of the five sensorial dimensions. That is, the communication does not appear balanced. Furthermore, the promotional communication in several regions is more oriented to…
Measuring tourist satisfaction and dissatisfaction: adaptation of the 4Q methodology to the case of web based data
2019
Tourist satisfaction has been studied so far using many different theoretical approaches and measurement models. In doing that, scholars have considered satisfaction and dissatisfaction either as two extremes on a single continuum or two distinct conceptual dimensions, i.e. tourist satisfaction (TS) and tourist dissatisfaction (TD) (Alegre and Garau, 2010). In line with the latter approach, known as dual approach, the 4Q is a methodology which permits to measure TS and TD through the administration of just four open-ended questions to tourists (Oliveri et al., 2018). The main feature of the 4Q methodology is that data regarding dozens of TS and TD elementary indicators can be drawn from the…
Multi-destination trips: a survey on incoming tourism in Sicily
2012
Many pleasure trips are often characterized by the visit of more than a single destination. Despite the topic is well documented in literature, the empirical studies are limited to a few pioneering studies. This lack may be attributable to the failure of tourism organizations to collect data on multi-destination trip behaviors, as it results, for example, from the system of European statistics on tourism (according to the Council Directive 95/57 EC), where no information on the average number of destinations visited within a single trip are provided. This paper aims to analyze the main implications of multi-destination trips both on tourism statistics and in tourism planning, and to describ…
Multi-destination pleasure trip behaviors in Sicily
2010
Many pleasure trips are often characterized by the visit of more than a single destination. The topic is well documented in literature (Cooper 1981; Mings & McHugh, 1992), but the main determinants and consequences of multi-destination trips have not been adequately analyzed (McKercher & Lew, 2004). Moreover, the empirical studies on this topic are limited to a few pioneering studies (Lau & McKercher, 2007; Mings & McHugh, 1992; Wu & Carson, 2008). This lack may be attributable to the failure of tourism organizations to collect data on multi-destination trip behaviors, as it results, for example, from European statistics on tourism (according to the Council Directive 59/95 EC), where no inf…
Asymmetric effects of monetary policy shocks across US states
2019
This paper provides new empirical evidence of the asymmetric effects of monetary policy shocks across regions. Using a measure of unanticipated changes in the Fed's policy rates over the period 1969Q3–2008Q4 and a local projection method extended to account for spatial effects, we find that monetary policy tightening leads to a long-lasting decrease in states' real personal income, with asymmetric effects across states that are amplified by spatial spillovers. The paper then investigates the role played by several transmission channels finding larger contractionary effects of monetary policy tightening in states with higher manufacturing share, smaller firms, smaller banks and higher house …

La nautica da diporto: una modalità di trasporto tipicamente turistica
2006
Alcune tipologie di trasporto hanno un carattere eminentemente turistico perché sono utilizzate quasi esclusivamente come mezzo per la fruizione del soggiorno vacanziero, come si verifica per impianti a fune, nautica da diporto, charter nautico, crociere. Rientrano parzialmente in questa categoria anche i voli low cost che sono stati considerati nello specifico capitolo sui trasporti. Si è scelto di indagare un comparto particolarmente rilevante della nautica da diporto, che rappresenta una delle segmentazioni più significative delle vacanze balneari
Turismo relazionale in tre sistemi territoriali
2007
L'azione di ricerca ha lo scopo di verificare la presenza, nei tre contesti di studio (Val d’Anapo, Valle dell’Halaesa, S. Vito) di un’ offerta turistica che dispone di un sistema di relazioni formali ed informali al fine di ottenere un'idonea “mappatura” dei tre territori per determinare, con rigore scientifico, il fabbisogno turistico in chiave relazionale. Un secondo aspetto riguarda la verifica della dimensione relazionale con riferimento alla domanda turistica effettiva e potenziale delle località. Si vuol stabilire quali e quanti sono le relazioni presenti tra domanda turistica e sistema dell’offerta, sia attuali che potenziali ed in che termini questi contatti siano in grado di influ…
I risultati dell'analisi del turismo relazionale
2007
Sulla base delle risultanze emerse dalla ricerca, verrà effettuata una breve analisi dei tratti peculiari della relazionalità nelle aree indagate, mettendo in relazione gli aspetti che l’hanno determinata, utilizzando il modello multidimensionale. Lo scopo è di evidenziare le potenzialità presenti, le variabili che necessitano di interventi mirati e puntuali e le possibili proposte strategiche per favorire l’implementazione di un piano di sviluppo locale con declinazione turistico-relazionale.
