¿Cómo impulsa la Comunicación Integrada de Marketing la satisfacción del huésped?: una propuesta a través del conocimiento ecológico y la co-creación…

2022

[ES] La creciente necesidad de aumentar la eficacia de las estrategias de comunicación en el sector hotelero impulsa la investigación acerca de cómo es posible intensificar sus efectos. De entre las distintas alternativas, el enfoque CIM basado en la sostenibilidad empieza a adquirir cada vez más importancia. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo examinar las relaciones entre la CIM para la sostenibilidad, el conocimiento ecológico, la co-creación de valor y la satisfacción. Sobre la base de los efectos en cadena que se investigan, se propone un modelo teórico, que se contrasta a partir de un estudio empírico con una muestra de 303 huéspedes, en hoteles de Kyiv (Ucrania). Los resultados r…

Sustainability in Hospitality Marketing during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Content Analysis of Consumer Empirical Research

2021

This study performs content analysis of consumer empirical research dealing with sustainability issues in hospitality marketing literature during the outbreak of COVID-19.

The total of 46 papers met the search criteria and were subject to content analysis. The reviewed papers are classified based on research topics, variables, and themes

Tourist consumption behaviour in a sun and beach Mediterranean mature destination and its implications for local development

2015

El comercio de buena parte de los destinos maduros de sol y playa, a lo largo de la orilla norte del mar Mediterráneo, ha tenido que afrontar varios años de rendimientos decrecientes a causa de la crisis económica que han sufrido los principales mercados de origen (nacional e internacional), y a la competencia de nuevas formas y destinos turísticos. En la mayoría de los casos, se trata de núcleos urbanos con un comercio estacional de proximidad que solo se activa durante la breve temporada alta. El resto del comercio urbano apenas se beneficia del consumo de un turismo que permanece recluido en el espacio de playa. En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de un análisis empírico de los h…

Contribution and effectiveness of ski and pole forces in selected roller skiing techniques on treadmill at moderate inclines

2023

BackgroundMost of the studies about the effects of incline on cross-country skiing are related to the metabolic efficiency. The effective skiing biomechanics has also been indicated to be among the key factors that may promote good performance. The aims of this study were to provide biomechanical characteristics and investigate the relative contribution and effectiveness of ski and pole forces in overcoming the total external resistance with double poling (DP) and Gear 3 (G3) techniques at varying moderate uphill inclines.Methods10 male cross-country skiers participated in this study. Custom-made force measurement bindings, pole force sensors, and an 8-camera Vicon system were used to colle…

Effects of Different Sports Shoes and Bare Feet on Static and Dynamic Balance In Healthy Females: A Randomized Clinical Trial

2022

Static and dynamic balance can be influenced by many factors. However, there is limited evidence regarding the effects that shoe sole hardness may have on balance. The aim of our study was to investigate effects of different sports shoes and bare feet on static and dynamic balance in healthy female individuals. Seventeen female participants were included in our study. All participants were assessed with bare feet, hard-support sports shoes and soft-foam sports shoes. The order of the assessment for each participant was randomly determined using an online random allocation software. The SportKAT 3000® device was used to assess dynamic double feet, static double feet, dominant foot and non-do…

A taxonomy of dual career development environments in European countries

2020

Research question. The last decade has seen an increase in empirical research associated with dual careers in sport, with a particular focus on understanding and developing individual characteristics which are important to ensure success in sports and education or a vocation. More recent work has, however, also identified the importance of environmental factors in ensuring successful dual career outcomes. The aims of this study, therefore, are to: (a) identify and classify the different types of dual career development environments (DCDEs) and (b) provide outlines of the key features of the environments identified. Research methods. To achieve these aims, this study adopted the procedure of…

Exploring Moderators of the Effect of High vs. Low-to-Moderate Intensity Exercise on Cardiorespiratory Fitness During Breast Cancer Treatment – Analy…

2022

IntroductionThe results from the physical training and cancer randomized controlled trial (Phys-Can RCT) indicate that high intensity (HI) strength and endurance training during (neo-)adjuvant cancer treatment is more beneficial for cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF, measured as peak oxygen uptake [VO2peak]) than low-to-moderate intensity (LMI) exercise. Adherence to the exercise intervention and demographic or clinical characteristics of patients with breast cancer undergoing adjuvant treatment may moderate the exercise intervention effect on VO2peak. In this study, the objective was to investigate whether baseline values of VO2peak, body mass index (BMI), time spent in moderate- to vigorous-…

Analyzing online search patterns of music festival tourists

2020

Music festivals, as cultural events that induce tourism flows, intermediate both the cultural and travel experience. The present study analyzes online search behavior of potential attenders to a music festival. We hypothesize that the search process reveals latent patterns of behavior of cultural tourists planning to attend music festivals. To this end, information from Google Trends on queries related to three popular music festivals is used to build a network of search topics. Based on it, alternative exponential random graph model specifications are estimated. Findings support the general result of mediated information flows: music festivals induce planning and traveling queries. Howeve…

The migration–tourism nexus in the EU28

2020

This study explores the nexus between tourism and migration on an intra-European scale over the period 2000–2015. Complex-network analysis and gravity models were the investigation methods preferred. For each year under study, we built two country-to-country networks to map and reveal the connections between states as shaped by migration stocks and tourism flows, respectively. Then, the main determinants of the correlation patterns between the two networks were investigated by several econometric analysis. Results point to a quite similar topological structure for the tourism and migration networks as well as to a significant and reciprocal direct influence between tourism and migration mo…
