Perceived quality and satisfaction with tourist services: theoretical considerations and measurement challenges.

2017

The quality of tourist services is frequently analysed and measured in terms of perceived quality (PQ). As PQ is the subject of evaluations based on one or more tourist experiences, there are areas that overlap with consumer satisfaction (CS), although the two constructs can be logically distinguished. Specific proposals have been made for the measurement of the PQ and CS in the tourism field, although there may be some drawbacks when technical solutions do not take into account the logical and ontological assumptions of the measurement process.

A survival approach for the analysis of cruise passengers’ behavior at the destination

2016

The present work aims at proposing an analysis of cruise passengers’ behavior at the destination through a survival analysis approach. Data collected through GPS devices on cruise passengers’ behavior in the port of Palermo and Dubrovnik are analyzed in order to show similarities and differences among behaviors at the destination, according to socio-demographic characteristics. Results are of interest from both a methodological perspective, related with the processing and the analysis of GPS data, and from the destination management perspective.

L’indagine sulla mobilità turistica: strumenti di rilevazione

2010

This paper discusses the features and the structure of the interview forms used within the sample research on tourist mobility carried out in Sicily and Sardinia in years 2009 and 2010. The focus of the paper is on the strategies adopted by the research team in order to control non sampling errors. The limitations of the instruments respect to the secondary purposes of the research will be discussed as well.

Multidestination trip, tourism

2015

Multidestination trips are characterized by the movement from tourist-generating regions to more than one single destination during the same trip. This article provides a comprehensive definition of multidestination trip for the Encyclopedia of Tourism.

Cruise passengers' behavior at the destination: Investigation using GPS technology

2016

This paper aims at segmenting cruise passengers in order to identify passengers' profiles according to their behavior at destination. Through an integrated use of traditional survey instruments and of GPS technologies, a set of indicators for the analysis of passengers' mobility at destination is proposed. Data collected in the port of Palermo are used in order to investigate space-time activities of cruise passengers at the destination. Monothetic Analysis is used in order to segment passengers according to their behavior at destination, and groups are then compared in terms of socio-demographic characteristics and other variables collected through questionnaire-based survey.

Comments on an article of Slinn

1989

The discussion of the relationship between concentration fluctuations and residence times is certainly highly welcomed, because it can spread the news of how a simple analytical equation eases the often needed estimate of residence times for trace substances, gases and aerosols in size ranges. However, the treatment by Slinn (1988a) might confuse potential users. To ease the following clarification, I will use Slinn’s notation with C being a concentration and C the mean concentration, whether averaged over the exponentially decaying concentration in time or in distance downwind of a finite-area source.
