The role of digital information sources in the travel planning process
2021
World Economic Forum’s Digital Transformation Initiative emphasizes that digitalisation in tourism is transforming the industry at an exponential rate across the globe. Current tourist behaviour patterns are changing not so much in travel habits as in the ways of finding and using travel information. These digitalisation changes are evident at all travel stages starting from dreaming about the future trip, planning and booking necessary tourism services, as well as sharing information and evaluating experiences. Tourist destination organisations and companies need to make strategic decisions, when sharing information, to reach the target audience in a smart and efficient way. The purpose of…

2020
In the Information Age travellers have a wide range of information that can be accessed by a variety of channels.

Anti-heroism and Intercultural Hints in David Charles Badham's Travel in Sicily
2009
The paper analyses the discursive features of Charles Badham's travelogues in Sicily in the context of the XIX century Travel Writing development. The travelogues are peculiar in their textual hybridity, blending some of the traditional discursive paradigms of the late Grand Tour travelogues and some of the conventional categories of the exploration and scientific accounts on the imperial frontier proper of the second half of the XIX century. In Badham's travelogues the informational components and a clear subjectiveness of his experience co-exist; far from articulating heroic attitudes, Badham's travelgues deploy an intercultural approach rather than, in Pratt's words (1985), a "monarch-of…
"Aby wszędzie być i wszystko widzieć". Doświadczanie miejsc i siebie w trakcie górskich podróży. Relacje Ślązaków
2015
“To be everywhere” and “see everything” is a declaration by Father Euzebiusz Franciszek Stateczny, a well-known Silesian writer from the turn of the 20th century, and an extraordinary monk and tenacious traveller, who in a true positivist fashion valued the truth about the world based on one’s own experience. By outlining a comprehensive need to get to know the world, Stateczny acted as a cosmographer, which prompted the author of the article to try to establish whether this declaration also applied to other travellers from the region and how this completeness was supposed to be expressed. The author’s overview of Silesian accounts of trips to the mountains (by Karol Miarka, Rev Antoni Stab…

Imagine there’s no borders. Miti identitari, percorsi di viaggio, sguardi sull’altro dall’Antichità al Medioevo
2022
Sulla dicotomia identità e alterità la critica moderna si è molto esercitata negli ultimi decenni, mettendo a punto un armamentario di strumenti e categorie analitiche utili a identificarne i rispettivi spazi di applicazione: da un lato, troviamo dunque l’identità, con tutto il suo repertorio di parole-chiave, quali tradizione, memoria, scrittura, purezza, coerenza; dall’altro, l’alterità, in tutti i suoi gradi, che vanno da una potenziale assimilabilità a un’estraneità radicale, espressa, volta per volta, dalla climax di termini quali ospite, straniero, rifugiato politico, esiliato, nemico, invasore. Il volume che qui presentiamo si propone di indagare, attraverso una galleria di casi stud…

Voices and interpersonal markers in Travellers' Forums in English and Spanish.
2013
Los foros de viajeros constituyen un tipo de encuentro de servicios en forma de ciber-género. Las interacciones entre autor y lector son cruciales para el propósito comunicativo: ofrecer opinión positiva o negativa de viajes, destinos y alojamientos, en respuesta a preguntas concretas formuladas por los propios usuarios. Su objetivo no solo tiene que ver con la persuasión sino también con la evaluación, desde la solidaridad. El resultado es un texto dialógico de dos o varios participantes (White, 2003; Martin & White 2005; Hyland, 2008). Los marcadores interpersonales (Hyland & Tse, 2004; Hyland, 2008) son herramientas que intervienen directamente a través de la voz del autor y del lector p…
