Abstract:
This article explores Airbnb accommodation spatial distribution and it estimates the main determinants of its location choice. It employs spatial bivariate correlations and spatial econometrics to understand the heterogeneous spatial relationship between established hotels and Airbnb for three kinds of local tourism destinations: sun and beach, nature-based, and city. The case study concerns the Canary Islands where a good mixture of these attractions can be found. The main conclusion drawn is that Airbnb regulation needs to distinguish the kind of tourism. More precisely, Airbnb supply overlaps established hotels in city tourism, but it does not so clearly in sun and beach nor nature-based destinations. Airbnb supply matches tourist visits spatial distribution better than established hotels in city and nature-based destinations, but not in sun and beach destinations, where the incumbent hotels are closer to the tourism resources. Finally, the results from the spatial econometrics model shows that population size and the number of tourist visits matters as determinants of Airbnb location. However, the main determinant is price, which has got a much larger elasticity.

Abstract:
This study assesses, adapting the weather types method, the suitability of the climate in Jardines del Rey (Cuba) for the practice of sun and beach tourism over the period 1991–2014, and the potential future impacts of climate change on this form of tourism on the basis of outputs from the PRECIS-Caribbean Regional Climate Model for the period 2021–2050. The methodology applied makes a classification of daily situations according to the most frequent combinations of climatological variables in tropical areas while focusing on a very specific segment of the tourism market (sun and beach tourism) and taking into account the behaviour of beach users and bioclimatic criteria. The results indicate that the distribution of weather types at the destination during the period 1991–2014 was highly consistent with the monthly distribution of tourists in Cuba, highlighting the existence of a low season from May to October and a high season between November and April. The future scenarios project an improvement in climate conditions for the practice of sun and beach tourism. This improvement is not based on a spectacular increase in favourable weather types compared to unfavourable ones, but rather on a better distribution of both.

Abstract:
The study of residents' attitudes is fundamental for tourist destinations managers. Residents form their attitude towards tourism through a cost-benefit analysis based on their perception of tourism impacts. The objective of this paper is to analyse the relationship between the perception of the different types of impacts, the general attitude toward tourism and various types of tourism offer: sport tourism, maritime tourism, nature tourism and sun and beach tourism. The analysis of the data was performed using Partial Least Squares on a sample of 420 residents of the Maldonado-Punta del Este conurbation, interviewed in 2016. The strongest causal relationship is between general attitude and acceptance of sun and beach tourism, the traditional offer in the region. The main conclusion is that a more favourable attitude to tourism does not imply greater support for any type of tourism. It is not possible to generalize the support to tourism to any tourism project, and tourist destinations managers must take it into account.

Abstract:
Through an empirical investigation of the historical relationship between the destination climate and tourist arrivals in the Caribbean, this study presents the first revealed preference evaluation of a climate index informed by tourists’ stated climatic preferences for coastal-beach tourism (i.e., a sun-sand-surf or 3S travel market). The goal of this multi-organization collaboration was to examine the potential application of a newly designed climate index—the Holiday Climate Index (HCI):Beach—for three Caribbean destinations (Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Saint Lucia). This paper provides an overview of the evolution of climate indices, including the development of the (HCI):Beach. To test the validity of climate indices for a beach travel market, daily climate ratings based on outputs from the Tourism Climate Index and the HCI were correlated with monthly arrivals data from Canada (a key source market) at an island destination scale. The results underscore the strength of the new index, with each destination scoring consistently higher using the HCI:Beach, including a stronger relationship (R2) between index scores and tourist arrivals. These findings demonstrate the value of combining stated and revealed preference methodologies to predict tourism demand and highlight opportunities for future research.

Abstract:
This paper is focused on research addressing a large quantity of data extracted from online reviews written by tourists visiting islands. These were extracted from TripAdvisor regarding island tourist destinations since there is a gap in the scientific literature using this approach on island tourism. The Islands of the Sun, Boa Vista and Sal, of Cape Verde, a Small Island Developing State (SIDS), were the targets of this investigation. After applying text mining to a large dataset, results are discussed, including from the perspectives of hotels, restaurants, and tourist attractions. For example, the beach is the main tourist attraction in both islands, but whereas in Boa Vista, tours on quad bikes constitute a major tourist activity, its equivalent in Sal is actually diving. The location of hotels near the beach is a big plus for tourists who also emphasize their human interaction with staff members in both hotels and restaurants.

Abstract:
The tourism and recreational offer of Mediterranean destinations involves, essentially, the promotion of mass tourism, based on the appeal of the sun and beach, and the quality of its coastal assets. Alongside the impacts of climate change, poor tourism diversification represents a threat to the resilience of the territory. Thus, heterogenization of noncoastal tourism products presents an opportunity to strengthen regional resilience to present and future challenges, hence the need to study, comparatively, the complementary preferences of tourists and residents of these regions in order to unveil their willingness to diversify their recreational experience, not only in coastal spaces, but also—and especially—in interior territories with low urban density. Consequently, this strategic option may represent a way of strengthening resilience and sustainability through diversification. In this context, a survey was conducted among 400 beach tourists and 400 residents of a case study—namely, three municipalities of the Algarve region in southern Portugal—in order to analyze their degree of preference for activities besides the sun and beach, such as nature-based and cultural tourism activities, and to probe the enhancement potential of each tourism and recreational activity through the various landscape units considered by experts, stakeholders, and tour operators. The respective degree of preference and enhancement potential were indexed to the area of each landscape unit. Subsequently, respecting the existing recreational structure and constraints, a suitability map for territory enhancement and the implementation of smart tourism practices for each tourism activity and landscape unit is presented. Results show a significant preference for noncoastal outdoor recreational activities.

Abstract:
Following a long history of using various strategies and policies for diversification and seasonal adjustment in the face of the challenges of achieving economic, social, and environmental sustainability, sun and beach destinations should also consider targeting the wellness tourism market as a post pandemic opportunity and long-term solution. Salou is a mature sun and beach destination in the Mediterranean, but one which, for some time, has had an increasing commitment to family and sports tourism as a result of a strategic renewal process. Now, with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, the destination management organization is considering the evolution of the model, the internalization of sustainability as a fundamental value, and the impact of different markets. In this study, we examined the challenges the Salou Tourist Board has faced during the development of a post pandemic model for sustainable tourism and what strategies it has adopted in response. We also considered the opportunities and competitive advantages that Salou has in the field of wellness tourism. The results obtained should encourage the continuation of work that promotes the environmental axis of sustainability and adds value to the natural resources on which it depends, including the sea and the landscape, while maintaining the environmental quality of the resources.

Abstract:
To position the tourism offering of the Municipality of Lovran, it must be adjusted to the modern needs of tourists. In this, a key role belongs to designing, implementing and sustaining an experience system as part of the destination’s integrated tourism product. Lovran as a tourist destination can become distinctive only to the extent to which it can provide services and facilities capable of satisfying the travel needs and motivations of tourists. When designing an experience system, the destination is generally in the focus of interest. This paper, however, takes a closer look at the thematization of beaches that are a part of Lovran’s tourism offering. Previous tourism development in Lovran has first and foremost been centred on the summer months when the sun, sea and beaches are the primary motivation for tourist arrivals. Lovran as a tourist destination, together with its beaches, provides opportunities that have yet to be fully valorised with regard to implementing the experience system in beaches. In this respect, the paper aims to highlight the need for beach thematization. Beach thematization is carried out in accordance with the vision of the destination to ensure the optimal distribution of bathers and to satisfy their preferences. A new classification of beaches is made according to the Bathing Area Registration and Evaluation (BARE) system, which is adjusted to the needs of the market. The BARE system categorises beaches based on their accessibility and coastal scenery. The purpose of the paper is to analyse beaches in Lovran and, in accordance with a beach’s potential, to propose a theme (eco beach, romantic beach, beach for families with children, etc.) for each one, based on the Regional Program for the Adaptation and Management of Seaside Beaches in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County. The authors conclude that beaches have a primary importance for most tourists as well as residents, making it essential to respect their physical, social and ecological carrying capacities.

Abstract:
This theory has as central objective to analyze the relationship of the phenomenon of the sun and beach tourism in the South Coast of Sergipe and the subject of research (usual tourist, second residence s tourism and local population), it constitutes an analysis of the spacetemporary diffusion of the sun and beach tourism and the manifestation of the second residence in the South Coast of Sergipe under the perspective of the models SISTUR of Beni (1988) and TALC of Butler (1980). The study had as conductive thread the relationship geography and tourism with emphasis in the debate of the categories of the science geographical territory, landscape and place. The research had as base the deductive method orientated by a systemic vision and the investigation process adopted the methodological procedures of rising bibliographical, documental, cartographic and statistical; elaboration of the study itinerary; field research; analysis and interpretation of the results. The research instruments used in field were questionnaires with open and closed subjects quantified by the scale of Likert in order to measure the degree of agreement/disagreement of the subject of research. The research elucidates the appearance of the sun and beach tourism in the occident from his invention to his structuring in Brazil and in the Northeast emphasizing scientific studies about the environment and the tourism, besides presenting the territorial and tourist scenery of the South Coast of Sergipe, approaching the historical process of occupation, the territorial system and the dynamics demographic, environmental and socioeconomic. The analysis of the instruments of territorial planning i) Coastal Management Program (GERCO); ii) Program of Development of the Tourism in the Northeast (PRODETUR); iii) Project ORLA and their Plans of Municipal Intervention; iv) Area of Environmental Protection (APA) South Coast; v) Economical-Ecological Zoning (ZEE); and vi) Master plans identified the main impacts of these in the tourist activity of the destiny. The results of SISTUR demonstrated that the basic and tourist infrastructures of the South Coast of Sergipe are not still enough to attract a maintainable flow of sun and beach tourist, and the application of TALC verified that the current apprenticeship of the sun tourism and beach is in the beginning of the apprenticeship of the development in the South Coast of Sergipe, characterized by the prevalence of the tourism of second residence. The territorial and tourist model of the South Coast of Sergipe is marked by the territorialized dynamics of the second residence s tourism that added to the investments avidness mainly of PRODETUR I and II they stimulated the growth and the consolidation of the production of this modality of tourism in the area. This way, it is ended that the partner-space practices of the leisure and second residence s tourism they accelerated the process of transformation of the landscape and they will establish the production of new tourist territories in the South Coast of Sergipe. Consequently, this study moves forward in the understanding of the models space - storms and of the politics returned to the valorization of the areas of beaches.

O estudo teve como fio condutor a relação geografia e turismo com ênfase no debate das categorias da ciência geográfica território, paisagem e lugar. A pesquisa teve como base o método dedutivo norteado por uma visão sistêmica e o processo de investigação adotou os procedimentos metodológicos de levantamento bibliográfico, documental, cartográfico e estatístico; elaboração do roteiro de estudo; pesquisa de campo; análise e interpretação dos resultados. Os instrumentos de pesquisa utilizados em campo foram questionários com questões abertas e fechadas quantificadas pela escala de Likert a fim de mensurar o grau de concordância/discordância dos sujeitos de pesquisa. A pesquisa elucida o surgimento do turismo de sol e praia no ocidente desde a sua invenção até a sua estruturação no Brasil e no Nordeste enfatizando estudos científicos sobre o meio ambiente e o turismo, além de apresentar o cenário territorial e turístico do Litoral Sul de Sergipe, abordando o seu processo histórico de ocupação, seu sistema territorial e sua dinâmica demográfica, ambiental e socioeconômica. A análise dos instrumentos de ordenamento territorial i) Programa Nacional de Gerenciamento Costeiro (GERCO); ii) Programa de Desenvolvimento do Turismo no Nordeste (PRODETUR); iii) Projeto ORLA e seus Planos de Intervenção Municipal; iv) Área de Proteção Ambiental (APA) Litoral Sul; v) Zoneamento Econômico-Ecológico (ZEE); e vi) Planos Diretores identificou os principais impactos destes na atividade turística do destino. Os resultados do SISTUR demonstraram que as infra-estruturas básicas e turísticas do Litoral Sul de Sergipe ainda não são suficientes para atrair um fluxo sustentável de turistas de sol e praia, e a aplicação do TALC verificou que o estágio atual do turismo de sol e praia encontra-se no início do estágio do desenvolvimento no Litoral Sul de Sergipe, caracterizado pelo predomínio do turismo de segunda residência. O modelo territorial e turístico do Litoral Sul de Sergipe é marcado pela dinâmica territorializadora do turismo de segunda residência que somada aos investimentos advindos principalmente do PRODETUR I e II estimularam o crescimento e a consolidação da produção desta modalidade de turismo na região. Desta forma, conclui-se que as práticas sócio-espaciais do lazer e do turismo de segunda residência aceleraram o processo de transformação da paisagem e estabelecerão a produção de novos territórios turísticos no Litoral Sul de Sergipe. Por conseguinte, este estudo avança na compreensão dos modelos espaço - temporais e das políticas voltadas à valorização das zonas de praias.

Abstract:
The aim of the thesis is to analyse the relationships between mass tourism in Baix Ter and the coastal wetlands. The goal is to know if the wetlands are able to become tourism resources and, thus, to provide arguments for their conservation. The thesis departs from indentifying all wetlands in the area and then it focuses on three coastal wetlands which are more preeminent within the area. Finally, it makes a new zoom to analyse the ecological restoration project of Pletera. The main conclusion is that wetlands are used as a backyard by tourism. However, they might become important tourism resources capable of modifying the profile of tourists that visit the destination.
El principal objectiu de la tesi és analitzar les relacions entre el turisme de masses existent al Baix Ter i les zones humides litorals, per conèixer si aquestes poden esdevenir un recurs turístic alternatiu a la platja i, per tant, aportar arguments per a la seva conservació. La tesi parteix d’una identificació de totes les zones humides existents a l’àrea per llavors centrar-se en tres zones humides litorals: les Basses del Ter Vell, la Pletera i les Basses d’en Coll. Finalment, la tesi fa un nou zoom per analitzar el projecte de restauració ecològica de la Pletera. La principal conclusió és que les zones humides fan la funció de pati del darrere dels nuclis turístics però que amb una correcte gestió i promoció poden esdevenir recursos turístics capaços de modificar el perfil dels turistes que arriben a la destinació.

Abstract:
Tourists are motivated to be involved in tourism for a variety of reasons. An obvious motivation is to have an enjoyable experience, but there are many different ways to achieve this. Some people will be happy to lay in the sun on a beach and do very little, however, others may want to be very active and spend time climbing a mountain. Getting away from the ‘normal’ environment of home or work, in other words, following the dictum, ‘a change is as good as a rest’ can be another reason for being involved in tourism. In reality, it is often a combination of factors that leads people to travel, although some of these may be more important than others. In the first part of this chapter, tourism motivation is discussed; the second section is concerned with how motivation can be converted into demand.

Abstract:
For centuries now, the sea has been at the very heart of tourism. For hundreds of millions of people worldwide, going on vacation still means going to the coast, particularly for their annual summer break. This magnetic pull of the sea motivates millions of people every week, from Stockholm to Sydney, New York to New Delhi, to head to their favourite beaches and seaside resorts. The lure of the sea makes them willing to put up with the hassles of modern airline travel and being stuck for hours in huge traffic jams so they can spend a few days each year by the ocean. What they do when they arrive at the coast, however, varies dramatically from tourist to tourist. For some they are content just to drink in the views, take photos and sit in their car viewing the sea through their windscreens. For others it means lying on the beach soaking up the sun, people-watching or playing ball games. Some tourists come to enjoy the man-made attractions that develop wherever tourists make their annual seasonal migration to the ocean. This can mean everything from casinos to theme parks, gift shops to theatres. In these cases, the sea is simply a backdrop to the vacation, with little real interaction with it on the part of the visitor.

Abstract:
Climate change poses a major threat to almost all forms of human activity on earth, including tourism. As Holden (2016: 227) argues: Of all the challenges facing tourism’s relationship with nature, it is not an exaggeration to state that climate change represents the greatest. Holden gives as his rationale for this statement that it is the stability and predictability of climate that is vital for the environments and ecosystems that are required for the continuation of current types of tourism, whether these are the traditional form of mass tourism, in terms of ‘sun, sea and sand’ holidays, or a niche activity which involves visiting a tropical rain forest with rare flora and fauna as the main attraction. Climate change also presents opportunities for tourism. If areas currently experiencing cool winters and mild summers get warmer, then new types of tourism may be possible including beach-based holidays where at present these are of little importance. Climate change is likely to lead to modifications in the weather at different times of the year so ‘seasonality’ which is currently a very important dimension to many forms of tourism will be affected, probably to the extent that seasons when there is high tourism activity will get longer in some parts of the world. Although tourism is likely to be significantly affected by climate change, it has also contributed to climate change through for example the burning of fossil fuels in transport for tourism as well through the use of power in hotel accommodation.

"large audience” (Goldstein 1983: 26); and “Here was an Australian with a wry sense of humor and gruff charm [this was post-Crocodile Dundee], equally alluring to men and women” (Brown 1987: 33). In other words, Robert Scorpio is conveniently – if not tokenistically – played by an Australian. The limits of tolerance of the non-American for the world of network soap are instanced in General Hospital’s casting criteria for an (American) actor to play Robert Scorpio’s long-lost brother, Malcolm. The actor, John J. York, is quoted in the ABC house journal, Episodes, saying: “They didn’t want a strong dialect [sic] . . . . They didn’t want a Paul Hogan type, because that accent is too strong. They were saying ‘just a hint’” (Kump 1991: 29). The Australian is more “exotic” than Peter Pinne may have wished: too exotic. Just the accent, though, if muted, can have an appealing otherness. The second index of the acceptability of the non-American, again Australian, has yet to be tested on the American market place. Called Paradise Beach, it is not a ready-made Australian soap seeking overseas sales, but a co-production between the Australian-based Village Roadshow, Australia’s Channel 9, and the American New World Entertainment, which has secured pre-sales to the CBS network at 7:30 p.m. week-nights (beginning June 14, 1993) and Britain’s Sky Channel as well as in nine other territories worldwide (Gill 1993; Chester 1993; Shohet 1993). As an Australian-based soap directed primarily at a teen audience, it recalls Neighbours and Home and Away. As a youth drama serial set in a beach tourism center, it recalls Baywatch and summer holiday editions of Beverly Hills 90210. And like Melrose Place and the Australian E Street, each episode includes what one report breathily calls “an MTV moment . . . a two-minute montage of sleek shots of beautiful bodies and plenty of sun, surf and sand set to the latest pop music hit” (Shohet 1993: 5). Set in and around Surfers Paradise on Queensland’s Gold Coast, it recalls, for Australian viewers, the 1983 film, Coolangatta Gold, which celebrates Australian beach culture (see Crofts 1990). It is noteworthy indeed that most of the performers are recuited from a model agency, not an actor’s agency. An American actor, Matt Lattanzi, plays an American photographer, and Australian actor, Tiffany Lamb, sports an American accent. There is a concern, understandable in a program sold overseas, to make Australian colloquialisms comprehensible (Gill 1993: 2). In terms of physical geography, the locations are Australian; in terms of cultural geography, Queensland’s Gold Coast is substantially indistinguishable from much of Florida and parts of California and Hawaii. The era of the co-production re-poses the question of the degree of acceptability of non-American material in the American market-place by begging the question of the distinguishability of the two. But given the unequal cultural exchange long obtaining between Australia and the US, with shows like Mission: Impossible being filmed in Australia to take advantage of cheap labor; given the tight money of Paradise Beach’s shooting schedule of 2.5 hours of soap per week; and given New World’s Head’s, James McNamara, ignorance of Australian soaps (“Paradise Beach is the first soap to be skewed at a teen audience” (quoted by Gill 1993: 2)), one might wonder which party is defining the."
