Satisfaction and sustainability concerns in whale-watching tourism: A user-generated content model
This study examines the satisfaction and sustainability concerns of whale-watching tourists by analysing user-generated content (UGC) on social media. A satisfaction model was developed and estimated utilising an ordered probit analysis with UGC data from TripAdvisor over the last 13 years that includes a specific whale-watching lexicon. The model addresses most of the physical, human, environmental, experiential, and operational aspects of the a…
Covid-19 effects on travel choices under climate risks
This article analyses the impact of COVID-19 on travel behaviour by measuring changes in the utility of visiting destinations threatened by climate change. A choice experiment was conducted before and after the outbreak. The model was empirically investigated with 6900 individuals interviewed at origin countries as potential travellers to 11 destinations with different levels of damage. Data from the two waves of surveys show a shift in preferenc…
Do tourists value responsible sustainability in whale-watching tourism? Exploring sustainability and consumption preferences
Whale watching has long been marketed as a whale conservation-oriented form of sustainable tourism. However, inappropriate management practices are endangering whales, the marine environment, and the tourist experience. This situation highlights the need for more responsible and sustainable actions to reconcile whale protection with the various demands of tourists. This paper analyses consumers’ preferences for socially responsible and green solu…
Benefit transfer of climate change adaptation policies in island tourist destinations
Benefit transfer is a non-market valuation method that offers a quick and cost effective alternative to costly valuation methods for assessing the economic value of environmental goods and policies in tourism. This paper assesses the validity of the benefits transfer method for the policies to adapt to climate change impacts across tourist destinations. To do so, a discrete choice experiment is designed and conducted simultaneously across seven i…
Tourism, social representations and empowerment of rural communities at Langue de Barbarie National Park, Senegal
Evidence of tourism as a strategy to empower local communities around national parks remains elusive. Scholars argue that a prerequisite to empowering community members is to decipher their ideas, beliefs and perceptions. Social representations (SR) theory provides a framework to engage in such a task yet very few studies have taken on such analysis. The paper presents a study of the SR across 10 communities surrounding the Langue de Barbarie Nat…
Management of aid and public policy on development. The Cape Verde case
This work contributes to clarifying the complex relations between aid, governance and development, based on the Cape Verde experience. Complementing evidence on correlations between aid, growth and development, a survey carried out with experts and the results derived from the estimation of a confirmatory factorial analysis model note that among the key factors in the success of Cape Verde is that the process for managing the aid has been integra…
The origins of budget support in the evolution of contemporary aid
Budgetary support dates back to relatively recent times, when the interest in this type of aid emerged during the last decade. However, budgetary support, seen as a fund transfer from a country or organization to other recipient country to help them with their national budgets, appeared earlier.In this sense, this paper reviews this type of aids from the 50s —when the decolonization process started— to our days. Since that decade some key element…

Incentives towards sustainable management of the municipal solid waste on islands: Incentives Towards Sustainable Management
This paper analyses the integral management of solid waste from the viewpoint of the life cycle of the product. We discuss the different phases of the product's life cycle, establishing the conceptual framework that permits an improvement in management, from a social point of view. We also show a price model for the urban waste treatment service in Salto del Negro on the island of Gran Canaria. We conclude that pricing must include all external c…
