Thus, to establish a more detailed image of the tourists who participated in this direct and…

Górnicze miejsca pamięci jako tworzywo do opracowania tematycznego szlaku kulturowego w przestrzeni Rudy Śląskiej
2019
Dramatyczne wydarzenia, w których jednorazowo ginie większa liczba osób, pozostawiają po sobie materialne ślady w postaci obiektów architektonicznych: pomników, tablic pamiątkowych, krzyży, a także kaplic. Nie inaczej jest w przypadku katastrof górniczych. Miejsc upamiętniających tragicznie zmarłych w kopalniach węgla kamiennego w krajobrazie osiedli górniczych i pogórniczych jest bardzo wiele. Przedmiotem artykułu są miejsca pamięci nieszczęśliwych wydarzeń w kopalniach na obszarze Rudy Śląskiej, które powstały od połowy XIX wieku po współczesność. Ze względu na liczne przykłady ich występowania (pomniki, mogiły zbiorowe, małe obiekty sakralne) mogą one stanowić interesujące tworzywo do op…

Service Quality Scales and Tourists with Special Needs: A Systematic Review
2019
This paper reviews the most commonly used scales for measuring service quality in sustainable tourism destinations to analyse if the requirements of tourists with special needs are considered. Results highlight that most of the recent research on service quality in tourism published in scientific journals is focused on a relative reduced number of validated scales. Variables related to tourists with special needs are often omitted or represent a reduced weight in the complete scale. Thus, this paper highlights the importance of including variables that collect the perceptions of service quality in this target group to better understand the individual perception of service quality and to mov…
Multi-destination trips: A survey on incoming zourism 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…
