Due to different changes in tourist behaviour, tourists are becoming more interested in specific forms of tourism. Specific forms of tourism are characterised by emphasized individuality in satisfying tourists' needs and desires. One of these specific forms of tourism is event tourism. The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between cultural/artistic events visitation and other activity-based tourism segments. Data was collected from July, through September 2008 as a part of a research on tourists' preferences for different kinds of activity-based segments. By employing logistic regression in the process of data analysis, relationship between a cultural/artistic events visitation and interest in other activity-based tourism segments was determined, so a profile of tourists interested in cultural/artistic events was created.

The policy of regional autonomy in Bali has implications for the autonomy authority granted at the regency/city level regarding the establishment of tourism villages in each regency/city in Bali. The number of tourism villages in Bali has increased significantly over the past decade years totaling 154 tourism villages. Tourism villages have high opportunities in equitable development between urban and rural areas, hampering the flow of urbanization, creating new employment opportunities, and creating a appreciation for traditional professions cultivated by rural communities which are the main attraction (such as farmers, weavers, fishermen). This study aims to analyze the typology of tourism villages and the potential for developing tourism village in Bali.

Seaweed is the main commodity of East Nusa Tenggara Province and is the belle of marine aquaculture in coastal communities. In the last decade, seaweed farming has been an economic activity that is of great interest to the people of the coast of Sumba Island. The dominant types of seaweed farming there are Kapppahycus alvarezii and Kappahycus striatum. Sumba Island has the potential for seaweed farming of 17,752 ha and only 42.86% has been utilized, with a production of 5,433,440.90 wet tons. Seaweed farming activities were chosen because of their advantages: a relatively short harvest period of 45 days, easy access to farming equipment, easy farming at low cost, and the availability of a market. Besides being easy to farm, the selling price is very good. These conditions have resulted in a large number of farming activities and their spread is poorly controlled and has even penetrated into conservation areas. This study aimed to examine the suitability of areas and the carrying capacity of waters in efforts to manage sustainable seaweed farming on the island of Sumba. Data collection methods used in this research were surveys and observation methods. The results showed that the suitability of seaweed farming areas in Sumba Island was categorized as Suitable and Very Suitable with a value range of 205 -295, except for Pero Konda Waters which was categorized as Not Suitable so that it was not recommended for seaweed farming. The development of seaweed farming areas is still possible by taking into account the carrying capacity, with a maximum tolerance limit of 75% of the total area of suitable waters.

Though much has been written on the urban politics of the Covid-19 pandemic, systematic, qualitative data on the uneven geography of the lockdowns are fundamentally missing, in large part because of the limitations of stay-at-home orders for fieldwork research. This article reports from the first study to have directly observed, and systematically mapped, the uneven distribution of the impacts of a lockdown over a city and its public spaces. Between January and March 2021, during Portugal's second national lockdown, I used running as a method to collect observational data on public spaces of the city of Lisbon. Building on this systematic mapping, I link the geography of impacts of the lockdown with trajectories of urban change: on the one hand, I reflect on the variegation of impacts vis-à-vis patterns of uneven urban development; and, on the other, discuss the role of visibility and vitality of activities in the public space in shaping the political rationalities of the lockdown.

We present the case of Winding Tree, an ambitious blockchain project that set out in 2017 to radically transform the tourism and travel industry. In 2024, they finally gave up, leaving behind a wealth of experience from which others can benefit. We use a rigorous case study approach to process and structure the remnants of Winding Tree. We thoroughly analyzed publicly available material, conducted a quantitative study with 86 respondents, and interviewed 19 key stakeholders. The results outline the key factors responsible for Winding Tree's ultimate failure. Additionally, we assess the findings in the light of popular theories and provide suggestions for refining existing theoretical frameworks. We end with concrete recommendations for practitioners on how future endeavors in this area can avoid the identified pitfalls and encourage academics to apply the refined theories to better explain the progress of digital transformation in the tourism and travel industry.

In an experimental setup we investigate the effect of defaults on charitable giving. In the treatment group, subjects can either specify a charity of their choice, or select one from a default list of five well-known charities; in the control group we do not provide the list. In a sample of 869 subjects we find that offering a list of default charities doubles both the fraction of donors and the aggregate amount of donations. These findings point to the importance of psychological factors like affective reactions in donation decisions.

Echoing the current research on mobilities, performative practice and the performative documentary, railway journey in screen texts is increasingly seen as a complex embodied, experiential and performative practice. However, although train films have received some attention in film criticism, little is known about the performative potential of train travel in experimental film. To fill this gap, I take a phenomenological stance on railway journeying to demonstrate how several stylistically distinct and rarely screened experimental films stage passengering through the display of window views or larger sections of trainspace, turning it into productive site of contemplation, creative activity and artistic expression.

This paper describes a pilot study investigating the mind-matter interaction during the Japanese traditional festival. On August 2nd and 3rd, 2003, fluctuation of RNG was measured in the first night of Aomori-Nebuta, one of the most popular folk festivals in northeast Japan. In 6-day festival, around 600 thousand people gathered every nebuta night and enjoyed singing and dancing with rhythmical drums, like carnivals in Latin American countries. Authors expected to find some significant deviation of the field RNG in this festival, particularly because some yakuza (Japanese gang)-like groups called karasu (crow) become so excited that they sometimes turn into violent mobs, that is, mass emotional excitement may effect the outputs of RNG. The hypothesis that the deviation in the RNG data appears during the festival period was tested by the cumdev and windowing methods. By the cumdev method, significant deviation was obtained in the overall accumulation of chi-square values during the 110-minute festival period (18:50-20:40, Aug. 2nd): Z 2 -1=200.1, p=0.041 (one-tailed; df=6600). However, accumulation of Stouffer Z value during the same period showed no significant deviation: Z=1.00, p=0.32 (two-tailed). In the windowing method, three different sizes of window width (15, 30, and 60 minutes) are used for analyzing the 19-hour data from 11 am (Aug. 2nd) to 7 am (Aug. 3rd). Each highest peak of windowshifting accumulation of chi-square value in the three different windows was found in the festival period, which is significant: in 19:45-19:59, Z 2 -1=106.5, p=0.0075 (one-tailed; df=900); in 19:30-19:59, Z 2 -1=140.0, p=0.0111 (df=1800); in 19:00-19:59, Z 2 -1=202.6, p=0.0093 (df=3600). All the ends of peak windows are the same (19:59). On the other hand, each highest peak of the absolute value of Stuffer-Z in three different windows was also significant but found at the end border of festival period:

In this paper, we propose and evaluate linear and nonlinear prediction models based on Artificial Neural Networks (ann) for tourism demand in the accommodation industry. For efficient forecasting, the Multilayer Perceptron (mlp), Support Vector Regression (svr) and Linear Regression (lr) methods that utilize two different feature sets for training have been used. The major contribution of the proposed models is focused mainly on better forecasting accuracy and lower cost effort. The relative accuracy of the Multilayer Perceptron (mlp) and Support Vector Regression (svr) in tourism occupancy data is investigated and compared to simple Linear Regression (lr) models. The relative performance of the mlp and svr models are also compared to each other. Data collected over a period of eight years (2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012) showing tourism occupancy and the number of overnight stays in the hotels of the Western Region of Greece is used. Extensive experiments have shown that for time series describing a subset of the number of overnight stays, the svr regressor with the rbf kernel (svr-rbf), as well as simple lr models, and the mlp regressor for occupancy time series respectively, outperform other forecasting models, when tested for a wide range of forecast horizons (1-24 months) and present very small and stable prediction errors.

Gamification recently attracted attention from practitioners and researchers aiming to gain understanding about gamification applicability. According to forecasts of various market research agencies, application of gamification in activities of companies increases and gamification market growth will continue in the future. As gamification is usually focused on customers, it is naturally related to consumer behaviour. However, there is a lack of studies approaching gamification from consumer behaviour perspective. Because gamification is strongly driven by information technologies, the paper seeks to propose an integrated framework for gamification impact on online consumer behaviour. In order to achieve it, the paper explores origins of gamification concept, compares it to similar concepts, proposes gamification definition and provides an overview of the pyramid of key gamification elements: game components, game mechanics, game dynamics. The further paper analyses different models of online consumer behaviour with emphasis on the application of the stimulus-organism-reaction (SOR) model. SOR model is used for characterising online stimulus (company controlled elements) and their impact on online consumer behaviour. In order to develop the framework, interdependencies of approaches of the pyramid of key gamification elements and SOR model are analysed by identifying factors related to the virtual environment, process, and social dimensions.

Bentfin devil ray (Mobula thurstoni) was recorded for the first time in Morotai waters on 3 rd March 2017. In a conservation management context, it is important to clarify the population of Mobula thurstoni and their relations with their habitat. Thus, we examined the existence of Mobula thurstoni with the physical parameters: depth, temperature, visibility, current, weather, and tidal. We measured the existence of Mobula thurstoni with the Underwater Visual Census (UVC) combined with Diver Operated Video (DOV) census. The research from 3 rd March to 14 th July 2017 (50 dives) showed the Frequency of Occurence (FO) is 50% per single dive. The highest aggregation of 30 Mobula thurstoni was recorded at 14 th May 2017 and the average sighting was 3.1 Mobula thurstoni per single dive. Among the examined parameters, it was found that strong factor affecting the sighting of Mobula thurstoni were at the depth of 30-35 m, temperature of 30C, visibility of 16-20 m, low current (< 1 knot), sunny weather, and tidal category of B. Analysis of UVC and DOV results show that the research location was categorised as feeding location for the Mobula thurstoni.

Smart technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics, and digital monitoring systems, are emerging as crucial tools in mitigating the adverse effects of overtourism by optimizing visitor distribution and promoting sustainable tourism practices. Aim-This systematic review aimed to explore sustainable tourism management strategies, with a particular focus on mitigating overtourism and seasonality through innovative approaches. Method-A comprehensive narrative review was conducted by analyzing peer-reviewed literature, policy reports, and case studies retrieved from academic databases such as Scopus, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and Emerald Insight. The review examined var ious sustainable tourism management strategies and their effectiveness in different tourism contexts. Result-The findings indicate that destinations implementing visitor flow control measures, smart tourism technologies, and regulatory mechanisms have experienced improved tourism sustainability. AI-driven crowd monitoring, digital visitor management platforms, and community-based tourism models contribute significantly to reducing environmental and social pressures on overburdened destinations. However, gaps remain in assessing the long-term impact of these strategies. Conclusion-This study highlights the critical need for evidence-based, adaptive strategies in sustainable tourism management. By integrating AI-driven automation, eco-tourism frameworks, and regulatory controls, destinations can mitigate overtourism and promote responsible tourism development. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies to assess the lasting impact of these strategies and refine best practices for global tourism sustainability.

Cooking, an applied field, must ensure the correct use, aesthetic production and adequate nutrition of food and beverages, which are scarce resources for the human population today. Achieving these competencies is possible with quality and planned education. The aim of the study is to evaluate the gastronomy and culinary arts education and culinary education at the undergraduate and associate degree levels given in Turkey in terms of quality and quantity. In this study prepared with a qualitative research design, data was collected using the document scanning model. The numerical data of the associate and undergraduate departments and programs offered at universities as of 2023 were determined and the number of students in the relevant departments and programs at each university was determined and compared with previous years. Evaluations were made in terms of professional sustainability by taking employment into account, and it was determined that a high rate of educational units were created in a short time. Since this rate is increasing uncontrollably with widespread education, attention was drawn to the issue that it could create negativities in professional sustainability in the future and suggestions were presented.

Moremi game reserve (MGR) in northern Botswana is one of southern Africa's most popular destination because of its impressive wildlife and wilderness areas. To maintain the wilderness nature of the park and game reserve, the Government has pursued a policy of high cost-low volume which is not necessarily based on demand and supply characteristics of the tourist market. The present study determines the perceptions of self-drive tourists and clients of mobile tour operators on the prevailing park fees in MGR and uses the contingent valuation method to determine their willingness to pay (WTP) for park fees under a management scenario in which the management of the game reserve would be improved by a hypothetical international conservation organization. Data collection involved a self-fill of a questionnaire by these tourists in the game reserve. In the first scenario the mean entrance and camping suggested by nonresidents was higher than the prevailing fee. Residents suggested a lower entrance fee. In the hypothetical scenario, the mean maximum WTP for entrance and camping fee for South African and overseas tourists were higher than in the first scenario. There was a significant difference in the WTP for entrance fee between overseas tourists and South African tourists (po0.05). Overall expenditure was significantly related to the WTP for increased park fees. The paper concludes by suggesting improvement in the MGR's facilities for better satisfaction of tourists.

This paper focuses on the tourist flows between Central European metropolises. The main aim is to identify these flows and to evaluate position of metropolises within the spatial structure of the Central European tourism. The core of the analysis lies in the evaluation of the main tourist flows and their spatial distribution. Hence, the paper measures the appropriate quantitative network characteristics of tourist flows and visualizes them. For this purpose, it is also necessary to find a method that allows quantifying tourist flows, because current statistics cannot capture tourist streams at the level of individual metropolises. Finally, the results are discussed in the context of metropolisation processes. The results reveal the importance of the Vienna network connection, as the most important analysed tourist destination, to the rest of the metropolises. The weakness of the network connection has been confirmed especially in Polish metropolises, while Berlin can be considered an important transit hub.

This study investigates the nature of causal relationship, if any, between tourism (TOUR) and foreign direct investments (FDI) using the case of Turkey. The observed period is between 1995 and 2015. In order to examine the existence of cointegration between the selected variables, the Johansen test for cointegration is applied. Moreover, the study applies the Granger causality procedure in a vector autoregression (VAR) model in order to estimate the relationship between the variables and the direction of relationship. VAR model is estimated following AIC information criteria that offers 5 lags. Findings indicate that the null hypothesis on no cointegration between the variables can be rejected. Therefore, evidence on the long run relationship between FDI and TOUR in Turkey can't be rejected. In addition, Granger causality test indicates a positive relationship running from FDI to TOUR. Besides that, a positive relationship running from TOUR to FDI is also reported. Therefore, the Granger causality test indicates a bidirectional relationship between FDI and TOUR in Turkey in the short run.

In Kenya, tourism is the second most important earner of foreign exchange after agriculture. It has had a great impact in the direct employment of local population as well as in generating opportunities for other business activities such as accommodation, food service, transport, retail, and other auxiliary services. In the recent past, Kenya's tourism has faced numerous challenges which may have slowed tourist arrivals and growth considerably. The challenges have been driven by climatic and environmental changes that maybe interfering with the ecosystem. Kenyan tourism faces significant challenges also from intense regional competition, political instability, poor governance, corruption, negative travel advisory by the governments of source markets, poor security at the destination, dilapidated infrastructure within the destination, poor product/ service innovation, and inadequate market and customer value perception of the destination. In this regard, a need to examine possible ways of reinvigorating and diversifying Kenya's tourism offerings has emerged and one area that holds a great potential is Sports and Recreation tourism.

Among the ancient folk traditions that took place among pilgrims to the Holy House of Loreto, the “sacred tattoo” represents a unique cultural heritage. This sociological research investigates the ways of the recovery of this practice by the tattoo artist Jonatal Carducci and the motivations for having Loreto symbols imprinted on the skin today, rediscovering a centuries-old custom.
Through the triangulation of methods and materials, the author reconstructs the devotional origin of this practice and its contemporary significance. Analysis of historical sources, exploration of online/offline tattooing communities, and qualitative interviews reveal that Loreto tattooing is a form of cultural mediation between past and present, but also a way of reappropriation of local religion and collective religious memory from individual choices and the need for spirituality that in religious materiality took shape.
Tattooing is thus interpreted among the different forms of expressive individualism that detect of authenticity, aestheticization, “artification” of bodily practices, but above all of the need to construct individual identity on one's own skin. Religious tattoos then open the gaze on the transmission of believing identities and the heritagization of religions in contemporary society, through a contribution to the sociological debate on the role of the body and its indelible marks.

This article outlines the idea of a Basic Income for Nature and Climate (BINC) as a novel mechanism for funding biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation activities. This proposal responds to two important empirical developments. The first concerns growing discussions around cash transfer programs and universal basic income within international development discussions. While these are increasingly implemented or piloted, they do not usually take into account environmental issues including biodiversity conservation. The second relates to market-based instruments like payments for ecosystem services and REDD+ (reduced emissions through avoided deforestation and forest degradation). In practice, these programs have commonly failed to halt biodiversity loss and alleviate poverty. The BINC proposal aims to integrate and transcend these existing mechanisms as part of a broader program of transformative change in conservation policy and practice that foregrounds concerns for social justice and equity.

Climate is one of several elements that can impact tourist decisions when deciding where to go on vacation. The climate of a country can influences the desirability of a trip in either a favorable or bad way. However, few studies look at the impact of temperature on tourist decisions, particularly in Indonesia. The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the impact of temperature on the arrival of foreign tourists in Indonesia. In the period 2017-2019, the authors used panel data from 168 countries of origin of tourists. To ensure that the research findings were consistent, all models were used, including the Ordinary Least Square, Fixed Effect Model, and Random Effect Model. The findings reveal that the temperature of a tourist's home country has a detrimental impact on their arrival in Indonesia. GDP per capita and the population of the nation of origin have a beneficial effect on foreign tourist arrivals as control factors. Distance, on the other hand, has a detrimental im...

Este artículo revisa el papel de la Gran Estrategia detrás del fomento a la industria turística en China y la forma en que la diplomacia pública se valió de este sector a la hora de relacionarse con otros países desde 1978. Para su estudio consideraremos el caso de las relaciones sino-mexicanas. Partiendo de lo anterior, se explora la forma en que los viajeros de este país latinoamericano se enfrentaron a China: un país hasta hace poco tiempo cerrado, donde el gobierno de Deng —a través de los lugares visitados— buscaba transmitir a los turistas un mensaje destinado a formar una opinión pública en sus países de origen que fuera favorable a los nuevos intereses de China en el mundo.
