Economic Geography of Tourism
Methodological Advances and Theoretical Gaps in Tracking Non‐Urban Tourism Mobility
This perspective article aims at identifying topics for further research based on techniques for tracking the mobility of tourists in areas with low population density, characterized by scarcity of public transport often coexisting with sensitive natural ecosystems. Supported by a systematic scoping review, it identifies studies undertaken in four continents, even though all the articles were published during the last two decades. Marketing appro…
Tourism in common
This study aims to conceptualise the organisational framing of tourism management in touristified cities, focusing on the assessment of participatory processes of tourism planning. A grounded theory approach is used to analyse and discuss the role of the newly created consultive Tourism Council of Barcelona. An analysis of in-depth interviews undertaken with representatives of local stakeholders led to Common Pool Resources and policy cycle theor…
Determinants of collective transport mode choice and its impacts on trip satisfaction in urban tourism
The continuous growth of tourism has important environmental impacts and transports account for a large proportion of the CO2 emissions generated by tourists. Understanding the motivations and characteristics of collective transport users in contemporary cities may contribute to promote more sustainable forms of tourism. Based on an extensive questionnaire to international tourists in Barcelona, this study employs a multinomial logistic regressio…
Volker Müller & Co
This article is about Volker Müller (b. 1942), a German sound engineer who worked at the WDR Studio for Electronic Music in Cologne for approximately 30 years. I look into Müller’s training as a sound engineer at the Düsseldorf Sound Engineering College and his activities at the WDR studio as a way of expanding on West German post-war state’s building and cybernetics pedagogy. By complicating merely technical, operational and mechanistic views of…
Tourism, smart specialisation, growth, and resilience
A Connected History and Geography of Studios
An illuminated sign indicates in red letters that 'Recording is in Session'. The door to the studio is closed, and passers-by understand that they are not to knock on, let alone open it. An essenti
Integrative diversification of wellness tourism services in rural areas – an operational framework model applied to east Hokkaido (Japan)
A framework model for wellness tourism development in rural areas is developed in this paper, combining the concepts of integrative diversification, tourism product development, and an endogenous approach to innovation dynamics. Three spatial levels of wellness services are considered (establishment, destination, and the region where they are located) in order to identify the required resources, services to develop, stakeholders to involve, and a…
The smart city as a common place for tourists and residents
Seasonality and regional productivity in the Spanish accommodation sector
This study quantifies the impact of peak demand and seasonality on regional productivity in the Spanish accommodation sector. We then identify factors affecting seasonal fluctuations and their relative contributions to regional variations in seasonality. The results show that demand for accommodation in the peak season mainly determines productivity. Thus, improving a region's attractiveness as a tourist destination is most effective for tourism-…
Territorial capital, smart tourism specialization and sustainable regional development
Tourist Loyalty and Urban E-Services
E-services are increasingly important communication tools for tourism providers but not all tourists prefer the same type of services. This work compares the preferences for e-services according to the characteristics of tourists and the implications on their expenditures during travel to the cities of Amsterdam and Leipzig. In addition, the determinants of satisfaction and loyalty according to the characteristics and motivations of the visitors …
