Coherence between marine and land use planning: public attitudes to landscapes in the context of siting a wind park along the Latvian coast of the Ba…
2014
The aim of this paper is to contribute to coherence in marine, coastal and land use planning and management from the perspective of landscape values. At a time when new sea uses are emerging and marine spatial planning laws and regulations are being adopted, but have not yet been put into practice, research studies are required that provide spatial planners with informed insights concerning public stakeholder attitudes to controversial policies. The undertaken research explored the attitudes of two important social groups (local residents and tourists/recreational users) regarding locating wind parks in the marine and/or terrestrial environment along the Latvian coast of the Baltic Sea. The…
The Impact of COVID-19 on the Rent-a-Car Industry
2021
Without any doubt, coronavirus disease slumped global economies in an unparalleled crisis, one of the worst downturns since 2008. COVID-19 not only affected negatively the tourism industry but also other service sectors. To some extent, governments have adopted two different dispositions against the virus. While some nations imposed a strict lockdown, others privilege the consumption and domestic circuits of payment. In its history, the tourism industry has never faced a crisis of this caliber, and its impacts remain unsure even to date. Although the interests and studies evaluating the impact of COVID-19 have captivated the attention of countless scholars, less attention has been given to …

La Neología del Turismo 2.0: Análisis de la Creación Léxica y Retos para la Traducción
2018
[EN] This study analyses the lexical neology and the formation of words from anglicisms in the professional language of tourism to gauge their difficulty for translation. To this end, a corpus of tourist management reports has been compiled and through a semi-automatic extraction methodology, the identification and classification of the candidates for neologisms has been carried out to study the most frequently used word formation mechanisms and offer a perspective of these new words that helps the translation of tourism texts.
Utilisation de données numériques expérientielles en discours spécialisés : deux exemples dans le domaine du tourisme et de l’oenologie

L’une d’entre elle étant la Vigne et le Vin, les activités de recherche portant sur ce domaine n’ont pu que connaître une expansion sans précédent. Dans ce cadre politique et régional favorable, un certain nombre de projets interdisciplinaires mêlant sciences du langage, informatique et disciplines d’application se sont concrétisés à travers des financements nationaux et européens. La présente commun…
Il paesaggio costiero siciliano: rischi, trasformazione e sostenibilità
2017
La costa della Sicilia, come quella di tutta la penisola italiana e di gran parte del Mediterraneo, ha subito nei decenni profonde trasformazioni, oltre la distruzione di chilometri di spiaggia. Il consumo dei litorali, purtroppo, continuerà ad aumentare nei prossimi anni e, senza una programmazione pianificatoria adeguata, l’attuale patrimonio ambientale potrebbe compromettersi definitivamente. Inoltre, il degrado ambientale e lo stato di abbandono di numerosi spazi urbani lungo la fascia costiera hanno reso poco fruibile i lungomari, sia per gli abitanti che per i villeggianti, danneggiando pesantemente anche il settore dell'economia. In questo scenario, al fine di migliorare la gestione …

The Role of the Internet in Overcoming Information Barriers: Implications for Exporting SMEs of the East African Community
2012
Small and medium-sized enterprises play a significant role in the East African Community, contributing highly to the national income and employing a significant number of people. Exportation provides a great opportunity for these enterprises to expand their businesses and improve their performance. However, they encounter a number of information- related barriers before and during exportation. Based on literature, this paper identifies these barriers and discusses how the internet could be used to reduce them. Based on the internet, international business and small business literature, the paper provides propositions and develops a model that will be useful for future studies in this area.
