New Technologies and tourist mobility: a brief review of some case studies

2013

Traditional tourism statistics present several lacks in detecting tourists’ activities in space-time dimensions, due to their administrative nature, the increasing mobility of tourists and their independence in organizing trips. Since this information is fundamental for the destination management, the need to find new methods for collecting data concerning tourist activities emerges. Then, from the early years of new millennium, several researchers started to study and test the efficiency and the effectiveness of existing new technologies, such as GPS or Mobile Phone, to detect the paths followed by tourists and outline the features of tourist mobility.

Ranking world tourist destinations with a composite indicator of competitiveness: To weigh or not to weigh?

2019

Abstract This paper contributes a weighted composite indicator of competitiveness for 136 world tourist destinations. To that end, Data Envelopment Analysis and Multi-Criteria-Decision-Making techniques are used with raw indicators from the 2017 edition of the Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report of the World Economic Forum (WEF). An outstanding feature of our approach is that weights are endogenously generated. Furthermore, the role played by several variables in tourism competitiveness is assessed using truncated regression and bootstrapping. The ranking of world tourist destinations produced by our weighted composite indicator of competitiveness is, however, fairly similar to that der…

La adaptación al uso turístico del patrimonio cultural : una propuesta metodológica de evaluación

2020

El patrimoni és una construcció sociocultural i la seva funció depèn dels valors, interessos, tradicions i identitats de cada societat i de cada moment, de manera que queda subjecta tant al seu valor intrínsec com a allò que representa. Quan aquest patrimoni desperta l'interès en el turisme, apareix una nova funció, però, com que cap patrimoni ha nascut amb la finalitat d'oci, el seu condicionament resulta una tasca indiscutible. Aquesta investigació se centra en aquest procés de transformació per a l'ús turístic del patrimoni cultural immoble, amb l'ànim d'identificar quins elements són necessaris perquè l'activitat turística sigui adequada. L'acadèmia (via Delphi) i els visitants cultural…

La cultura ci salverà? Processi di touristification a base culturale nel centro storico di Palermo

2023

Negli ultimi tre decenni la cultura ha avuto un ruolo chiave nella costruzione delle politiche urbane, divenendo uno strumento decisivo nella definizione delle strategie di sviluppo economico e nell’accesso alla competizione globale che caratterizzano l’attuale regime di neoliberismo urbano (Miles e Paddison 2005). Anche nel sud Europa la cosiddetta rigenerazione a base culturale ha rappresentato e continua ancora oggi a rappresentare una vera e propria ortodossia urbana, che trova nel turismo tanto una ragione di esistenza quanto un campo di attuazione. In particolare, negli ultimi anni i centri storici di molte città sudeuropee sono stati oggetto di trasformazioni profonde in cui pratiche…

Within this framework Palermo and its historic center are no exception. The epicenter of these processes is represented here by the Kalsa district which since the early 2000s has been placed at the center of a precise strategy of culturally-based renewal called to drive the city's tourist renaissance (Vinci 2008). The culmination of this path came in 2018 when Palermo was named the Italian capital of culture and chosen as the venue for Manifesta one of the most prestigious traveling biennales of contemporary art. However the exponential increase in tourist arrivals in the last three years came to a halt with the outbreak of the pandemic which showed with unprecedented evidence the contradictions of the development strategies pursued in the historic center and the marks they leave on the territories. While this sudden interruption seems to offer an opportunity to radically rethink urban and cultural policies and find new curbs to the conditions of overtourism in which the historic centers of South European cities and beyond find themselves it could also prove to be an accelerator of the dynamics of commodification of these spaces representing the revival of tourism an easy escape route in times of crisis. The objective of this contribution is to critically explore the urban and social transformations that have crossed the Kalsa district of Palermo from the 2000s to the present using qualitative and quantitative techniques (analysis of statistical data in-depth interviews critical discourse analysis ...) with particular reference to the role that culture has played in these processes. While it is impossible to prefigure post-pandemic scenarios we will examine documents and discourses that trace possible development directions for South European cities and their historic centers.Settore ICAR/21 - UrbanisticaSettore M-GGR/01 - Geografia
