The measurement of seasonality for tourism evaluation

2017

Seasonal variations in tourism demand represent one of the most challenging topics in tourism research. After highlighting the main pitfalls which characterize the majority of currently used indices for seasonal amplitude, the present work propose the implementation of a recently discusses a recently proposed index for the measurement of seasonality in tourism, based on the transportation problem approach. An adequate measurement of seasonality is a pre-requisite for the evaluation of the effectiveness of tourism policies aimed at reducing tourism demand imbalance.

Genèse et mémoires des randonnées littéraires

2018

Depuis les années 1980, les randonnées littéraires autour d’écrivains sont associées à des lectures de romans en vue d’entretenir la vitalité d’une œuvre dans une perspective de valorisation. Si les mémoires collectives sont longtemps restées l’apanage des ethnologues, les maisons d’écrivains sont les premières institutions à développer un type d’itinéraires touristiques en lien avec les politiques locales. Utilisant une approche basée sur les ressources territoriales, il s’agit de revenir sur l’émergence des randonnées littéraires consacrées à Jean Giono et de resituer cette démarche dans son articulation avec l’offre touristique régionale. La célébration de cet auteur se concentre aujourd…

Analysing tourist mobility: current issues and future challenges

2013

Tourism statistics are generally based on data collected only at one point of the travel, which, depending on the perspective of interest, can be the originating region or the destination one. Indeed, many tourism trips imply the visit to more than a single destination, since tourists move to visit several attraction to several destination or within the same destination. The analysis of tourist mobility presents several issues which are related both to the collection of information on multidestination trip behaviour and to the analysis of complex information such as the ones related with tourist itineraries. The present work aims at reviewing the main issues related with the analysis of tou…

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…

L’efficacité de la communication pour la marque de destination urbaine. Représentations de touristes et de résidents

2019

Face à la concurrence, l’enjeu des destinations consiste à se différencier en développant une identité spécifique. La communication touristique joue alors un rôle capital dans la formation de l’image touristique de la destination. Toutefois, la multiplication des campagnes de communication des différentes strates territoriales ainsi que la couverture médiatique des divers événements peuvent brouiller l’image des destinations. Les recherches universitaires dans ce domaine étant peu nombreuses, il importe d’étudier l’efficacité de la communication des différentes strates territoriales envers une destination urbaine sous l’éclairage de la théorie des représentations sociales. À partir d’une co…

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…
