The common perceptions about tourist destinations often hold even in the absence of facts and evidences. This research is an attempt to analyze the ground behind generic perceptions about tourism attractiveness of Kashmir valley. This has been done through primary survey of most important stakeholders; the visiting tourists. The data collected from 370 tourists has been used to deconstruct tourism attractiveness into different parameters and an Index of Destination Attractiveness has been prepared to understand the importance of each parameter to overall attractiveness. The evidences support the common perception that natural attractions play very important role in tourism attractiveness of valley but valley lacks other tourism motivators and falls short on most of the hygiene factors. These findings can be used to increase the attractiveness of valley by working on weak areas and the Index developed for the study can be used as a standard tool for continuous monitoring of attractiveness.

Full textAbstract:
Tourist attractiveness is a key factor for the development of the tourism industry in the region. The Drohobych region includes the neighboring districts and the cities of Stebnyk and Drohobych, with the latter being the administrative center of the district and the city of regional subordination. The main factor in shaping the region’s improved image as a tourist destination is the availability and efficient use of tourism potential. Its use is influenced by a number of political, economic and social factors that may be restrictive or favorable in nature. The region attracts tourists with its natural landscapes, mountainous terrains with forests, lakes, ponds, river valleys with recreation areas and waterfalls, and Skole Beskids National Nature Park. The paper analyzes the quality of transport connections to the tourist destinations of the region, the state of the environment, the quality of the communication system, the composition and the effectiveness of the logistics of the tourist sector. Besides, the efficient use of information potential through the introduction of the project «Drohobych – Smart City» contributed to the formation of a positive tourist image. The article outlines increasing role of the tourist information center in shaping the tourist attraction through analyzing the dynamics of the number of tourists’ visits and revealing the close links with the number of persons accommodated in hotels, collective accommodation facilities, visits to museums by calculating correlation coefficients. The efficiency of the use of the financial and investment components of tourism potential has been studied by analyzing local budget revenues from tourism fees and expenditures on tourism development. The analysis of the components of the tourist potential has allowed us to distinguish its features, to state the possibility of development of almost all types of tourism, to identify the problems of improving the image of the Drohobych area as a tourist destination. Their solution will need further research.

Full textAbstract:
This study explored the relationships between destination attractiveness, satisfaction, the sense of reliving, and loyalty among American tourists who had experienced Silk Road tourism in Uzbekistan. In addition, this study investigated the mediating role of the sense of reliving with regard to satisfaction and loyalty. A total of 477 respondents participated and were used for the final analysis. The results suggest that destination attractiveness includes multidimensional constructs consisting of five dimensions, namely, cultural attractiveness, natural attractiveness, the local people and superstructure, infrastructure, and price attractiveness. Cultural attractiveness, the warm hospitality of local people, and the superstructure appear to be the competitive attributes of Silk Road tourism in Uzbekistan affecting tourist satisfaction. Furthermore, the results reveal that tourist satisfaction increases loyalty. A mediating role of the sense of reliving with regard to satisfaction and loyalty was also confirmed. Tourists remember their travel experiences upon returning home, relive Silk Road travel experiences, and demonstrate their behavioral intentions. These findings can provide a deeper understanding of destination attractiveness and memorable experiences for increasing loyalty to destinations related to Silk Road tourism in Uzbekistan.

Full textAbstract:
Global and crisis transformations result in structural and functional changes in the tourism system, which combines resource potential, infrastructure, tourism entities, institutional structures, and consumers. For Ukraine, with its high tourist potential, tourism development is a significant factor after the crisis recovery of the economy. Overcoming the disparities in the tourism system functioning, shaping optimal business models of its development, increasing the sustainability and efficiency of the tourism entities functioning impose an objective need for investment. Investment attractiveness is one of the key characteristics causing the investor’s interest in financing the project, including the tourist one.The essence, determinants of influence and characteristic features of investment attractiveness of the Ukrainian tourism system are substantiated. The investment attractiveness of the tourism system is proposed to be considered as a complex feature of conditions and advantages that form its ability to attract investment resources based on the availability of their needs, unique tourist potential, favorable environment for ensuring the efficient functioning of the tourism system and guaranteeing the investor profit and reduced risks of investing.The article considers basic preconditions to form the investment attractiveness of the tourism system, which include unique strategic opportunities, to shape a favorable institutional environment and provide a background for an investor concerned and a system of guaranteeing the expected result.Given the need for complex consideration of the tourism system’s investment attractiveness, a methodology based on the calculation of integrated indicators for estimating the effectiveness and prospects for the development of tourism systems in the Ukrainian regions is used. In the method considered, it is proposed to take into account not only financial aspects, but also the resource potential, its development level, the growth rates of tourism entities activities, and the prospects for the tourism system development. In general, indicators and criteria for the tourism system investment attractiveness are classified into four groups: the efficiency of investment, the effectiveness of the tourism system development, the prospects for the tourism system development, the environment and the potential for its development.According to the method developed, the integral indicator of investment attractiveness of the tourism systems of Ukrainian regions has been calculated, and the regions are differentiated according to the level of investment attractiveness. Estimation of the investment attractiveness of Ukrainian tourism systems allows to determine their rating, differentiate them according to the maturity level of complementary preconditions to form and develop tourist potential and serves as a basis for potential investors in investment decisions-making.Using the results of determining the level of investment attractiveness of tourism systems of Ukraine’s regions over time will help identify trends, and, accordingly, serve as a guide for potential investors in strategic proposition space of regions which are investment recipients.

Full textAbstract:
Tourism is one of the most important sectors of the Ukrainian economy. Analysis of the tourism potential of the country and its individual regions, in particular its attractiveness – the ability to attract potential tourists, is necessary for the effective functioning of the tourism sector. The purpose of the article is to justify the socio-geographical approach to assessing the tourist potential’s attractiveness of the region and analyse the conditions and factors for such estimation in the objective (quantitative) and subjective (qualitative) dimensions on the basis of factor criteria and performance indicators. The tourist potential’s attractiveness of the region is the degree of attractiveness of the natural, ethnocultural, socio-historical and other tourist resources of the region, its socio-economic and transport infrastructure, reception places and attendants. The tourist potential’s attractiveness of the Carpathian region is ensured by its diversity of relief forms, the picturesque of landscapes, the presence of unique wild nature areas, a significant amount of rivers, the purity of natural waters, a lot of forests, and the richness of flora and fauna. The wealth of anthropogenic tourism resources of the Carpathian region leads to a high attraction of the social segment of the tourist potential of the Carpathian region. All regional centres, a lot of small towns and villages, which have survived, the samples of Old Ukrainian church wooden architecture, castles, religious buildings, defensive structures, old residential and economic buildings of the region have a high attraction. The attractiveness is also ensured by the presence of numerous parks, cafes, restaurants, theatres, museums, cultural and lifestyle habits of local residents, including Hutsuls and Boyks. Along with this, a combination of natural and social tourism resources created in the Carpathian region favourable conditions for the development of all kinds of ethnic and event tourism, rural green tourism. Based on the analysis of approaches to the component of the tourism potential’s assessment and attractiveness, own socio-geographical approach to the construction of a system for assessing the tourist potential’s attractiveness of the region has been formed. These include natural tourist resources, tourist resources of anthropogenic origin, tourist infrastructure, marketing and pricing policies, labour resources, provision of catering facilities, sports and entertainment facilities, the level of transport infrastructure’s development, tourist safety, environmental quality, finance, investment in tourism sphere, general image of the region, economic attractiveness, management, state support and political stability, information. The peculiarity of the proposed approach is to assess the conditions and factors of the tourism potential of the region in an objective and subjective way. Each of these characteristics is described by relevant factor criteria and may be defined by specific quantitative and / or qualitative indicators. With the help of the constructed indicators’ system of tourism potential attraction estimation, we are able to quantitatively and qualitatively estimate the level of tourism industry development in the Ukrainian regions; to highlight the causal relationships in determining the level of tourist potential’s attractiveness; to identify the factors that influence the development of tourism activity, in that destabilizing; to carry out monitoring of tourism activity in the region with the possibility of predicting changes in tourist activity taking on its basis optimal managerial decisions at the state and regional levels. Key words: tourist potential, tourist potential’s attractiveness, Carpathian region, natural and anthropogenic tourist resources.

Abstract Balancing the development and protection of national marine parks in a suitable way is of great SIGNIFICANCE for environmental sustainability. Tourism attractiveness is an important indicator for measuring this development. In this study, by searching through online reviews of the national marine parks in the coastal areas of the East China Sea, and by analyzing tourists’ perceptions of them, an indicator system for tourism attraction was established. Natural attributes, supporting facilities, service experience, and tours were taken as secondary indicators. This study combines the analytic hierarchy process with questionnaires to calculate the attractiveness index of national marine parks. The study finds that national marine parks in the coastal areas of the East China Sea have a higher level of tourist satisfaction and attractiveness, but that more attention needs to be paid to supporting facilities, as tourists currently find them insufficient. Among these, natural attributes are an important factor affecting the attractiveness of the marine parks, while special cuisine, customer experience, public transportation, and attitudes are all indicators with higher weight within the attractiveness index. The tourism attractiveness of national marine parks was investigated quantitatively and the indicators affecting the tourism attractiveness index were illustrated clearly.

Full textAbstract:
Destination attractiveness is a subjective concept that has raised discussions among academics and researchers within the field of tourism. Attractiveness has been studied from different approaches, and due to the importance of tourism in contemporary societies, it has also been studied within different disciplines of knowledge, without achieving an agreement on its definition, measure and creation. This thesis is an attempt to contribute to these discussions through the analysis of the case of Malaga, Spain, a city with a long and strong relation to tourism, but which for particular reasons and context, had to develop its tourism sector almost from the scratch over the course of recent decades, before becoming one of the most important urban cultural destinations in Spain. This thesis will explore the factors that influenced the creation of Malaga’s attractiveness and the strategies that supported this evolution.

Chaouni, Naoil. "Etude de réception transnationale d’une série télévisée et ses effets sur l’attractivité touristique d’une région rurale : Cas d'un feuilleton marocain." Thesis, Montpellier 3, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016MON30004.
Full textAbstract:
L’originalité de cette thèse, qui s’ancre en Sciences de l’Information et de la Communication (SIC), repose sur le croisement de plusieurs thématiques de recherche et qui pourraient sembler à priori distantes. Cette thèse se positionne sur un terrain précurseur puisque très peu d’études se sont intéressées précisément à l’influence d’une série télévisée à la fois sur l’attractivité touristique d’une région (Bryon-Portet, 2011 ; Mille, 2011 ; Mongin, 2008), et sur des facteurs sociologiques et économiques directement liés à sa diffusion télévisuelle ou cinématographiques. L’étude des effets de réception d’une série télévisée est appréhendée dans ce travail de recherche à la fois du point de vue de la sociologie de la télévision (Macé, 2001 ; 2009), de l’analyse structurelle des médias sociaux (Boyd, et Ellison, 2007 ; Cardon, 2008 ; Burke et al. 2011 ; Cavazza, 2015), de la psychologie sociale de la diaspora maghrébine (Ennaji, 2010 ; Mattelart, 2009) et du tourisme durable (Marcotte, Bourdeau, Doyon, 2006 ; Berriane et Abderghal, 2012) plaçant les acteurs locaux au cœur de l’activité touristique et culturelle dans un contexte d’empowerment (Scheyvens, 1999). Ce travail de recherche propose une approche sociale de ces différentes thématiques ayant pour vocation de nourrir la réflexion scientifique. Cette thèse a donc pour objectif d’étudier le phénomène du succès d’une série télévisée particulière ayant entraîné des comportements sociaux directement liés à cette production audiovisuelle et aux lieux de tournage transformés en destination touristique (Grenier, 2011). Ainsi, dans ce travail de recherche, les interdépendances, les comparaisons et les distinctions entre la télévision et Internet permettent d’appréhender la réception télévisuelle selon une perspective de continuum multi écrans (télévision, appareils mobiles, tablettes, ordinateurs…).Cette thèse analyse les effets de réception télévisuelle d’un feuilleton marocain Bnat Lalla Mennana. Diffusée en arabe dialectal marocain, sur la chaîne 2M (deuxième chaîne nationale marocaine) sur deux saisons, en 2012 et 2013, cette série télévisée a atteint une audience estimée à 5,8 millions de téléspectateurs en 2013. Illustrant ainsi son succès auprès des marocains et de la diaspora maghrébine à travers le monde, cette série télévisée est spécifique car son tournage a eu lieu dans une petite ville pittoresque, rurale et touristique du Nord du Maroc : Chefchaouen. Outre le lieu, la série télévisée, pourtant inspirée d’une pièce de théâtre espagnole de Garcia Lorca (La casa de Bernarda alba, 1936), reprend les us et coutumes traditionnalistes de cette région. La mise en scène folklorique des espaces réalistes de Chefchaouen contraste avec les productions audiovisuelles habituelles sur les chaînes maghrébines (lieu de tournage, dialecte, décor…). La mise en avant de la régionalisation dans un programme télévisuel de divertissement pose la question des rapports entre localismes et globalisation au prisme d’une réception transnationale. La télévision d’une part et Internet d’autre part, avec notamment les réseaux socionumériques (Stenger, Coutant et al, 2011) sont devenus des canaux multimodaux de diffusion et de réception de l’information culturelle. Marqués par l’instantanéité et la rapidité, les flux médiatiques sont désormais transnationaux (Appadurai, 2001 ; 1996). L’objet de ce travail de thèse est de caractériser l’influence des pratiques médiatiques des individus sur la perception des territoires, des imaginaires culturels et des trajectoires identitaires à travers des publics à caractéristiques variéesAt the heart of migration issues, we find concepts of trajectory and mobility in a particular relationship between globalization and localization (Appadurai 1996). These two interrelated processes lead to every movement’s form (human, material, immaterial, financial and cultural). In the 1990s, the term diaspora evolved (Mattelart, 2009) and it was based on the "cosmopolitan vision" (Beck, 2006) and the transnational process. Transnationalism is based on social exchanges across the borders that are possible thanks to Information-Communication-Technology (ICT). This paradigm of communication has allowed the beefing-up of the model of "migrant connected" (Diminescu, 2005). The identity of people from the diaspora is defined on "more than one nation-state" (Glick-Schiller et al., 1994).This thesis focuses first, on the questions of collective identity and media representations in the reception of the television. Widely, we treat sociological impacts, called in our research, externalities. The process of these symbolic representations can be compared to a mirror effect (Cefaï and Pasquier, 2003) between the televised world and reality. These informations’ flows contribute to the symbolic mediation through television and Internet. For the Maghreb Diaspora, the identity process is influenced by the host country and the origin country.Second, we treat the importance of the audiovisual productions in the identity’s construction of the Moroccan Diaspora (Malonga, 2008; Diminescu et al., 2010) and local population of the North Moroccan countryside. It highlights the role of Internet and the satellite channels or the digital broadcasting satellite (DBS) as a vehicle of the Maghreb Diasporas' culture in the world. The Social Network Systems (SNS) (Boyd and Ellison, 2007) offer large web-based services that allow individuals to share content between fans of television. The role of the diaspora in national programs (Nedelcu, 2010) is taken into consideration by the policies of origin countries, that are often developing countries. It is the case of Morocco, which integrates its diaspora population in strategic national area (Daghmi, 2011).This television reception study aims to understand the negative behavior of a specific public after the broadcast of a Moroccan television series Bnat Lalla Mennana, filmed in a rural and touristic locality in the North of Morocco, Chefchaouen. In this work, we present the results of a qualitative survey conducted toward the inhabitants of Chefchaouen

Full textAbstract:
Le Liban connaît de nos jours un phénomène de contre-exode original, alors que l’urbanisation croissante est plutôt la grande caractéristique de notre monde actuel. Ce phénomène a piqué notre curiosité et nous a conduit à rechercher les causes de cette dynamique dans certaines régions libanaises alors que d’autres restent à l’écart et souffrent de sous-développement. Tel est le cas de la région qui fait l’objet de notre recherche : le Akkar, situé au nord du Liban.Pour dynamiser la région et déclencher un processus de développement territorial, il ressort que l’agriculture doit être au centre des préoccupations du fait de sa prégnance sur le territoire du Akkar et des avantages comparatifs qu’elle procure.Plusieurs travaux théoriques et empiriques mettent en évidence les vertus du développement de l’agriculture en termes d’augmentation du PIB et de lutte contre la pauvreté et montrent que l’agriculture réagit plus vite que les autres secteurs aux nouvelles politiques et contribue plus fortement au PIB. La croissance agricole stimule l’ensemble de l’économie car elle crée des marchés pour les biens et services non-agricoles, produisant un effet de diversification de la base économique des régions rurales. Ainsi l’industrie agro-alimentaire et le tourisme se développeront dans la lignée d’une nouvelle vision de l’agriculture.Au final, les faiblesses actuelles de l’économie du Akkar peuvent devenir des opportunités, si le caractère multifonctionnel de l’économie rurale sert un développement durable à partir d’une dynamique englobant l’agriculture, l’agro-industrie et le tourisme. Les actions portant sur les conditions de la production (amélioration des infrastructures, renforcement scolaire et formation, soutien financier et organisation plus rationnelle de la production) impliquent le soutien de l’Etat. Les actions de dynamisation et de valorisation à travers une série de projets de développement local impliquent quant à elles une forte mobilisation des acteurs locaux et une décentralisation pour une plus grande marge de manœuvre, notamment dans la prise en charge de projets de coopération décentraliséeLebanon knows nowadays a phenomenon against original-urban migration, while growing urbanization is rather the great feature of our world today. This has piqued our curiosity led us to investigate the causes of this dynamic in some Lebanese areas while others remain outside and suffer from underdevelopment. Such is the case of the region that is the subject of our research: Akkar, north Lebanon.To boost the region and trigger a process of territorial development, it is clear that agriculture must be aware of the concerns of the center of its predominance in the territory of Akkar and comparative advantages it provides.Several theoretical and empirical work highlights the virtues of the development of agriculture in terms of GDP growth and the fight against poverty and show that agriculture reacts faster than other sectors to new policies and contributes greatly to the GDP. Agricultural growth stimulates the whole economy because it creates markets for non-agricultural goods and services, producing a diversification effect of the economic base of rural areas. Thus the food industry and tourism will develop in line with a new vision for agriculture.Finally, the current weaknesses of Akkar economy can become opportunities if the multifunctional nature of the rural economy is sustainable development from a dynamic encompassing agriculture, agribusiness and tourism. Shares on the conditions of production (improving infrastructure, strengthening education and training, financial support and rational organization of production) involve state support. The actions of revitalization and recovery through a series of local development projects involve for their strong mobilization of local actors and decentralized for greater flexibility, especially in the management of decentralized cooperation projects

"The appreciation of nature and landscape by tourism service providers and visitors in the Ore Mountains (Germany)."

Full textAbstract:
The paper presents empirical studies on the appreciation of nature and landscape in the Eastern Ore Mountains (Saxony, Germany) by tourism service providers (TSP) and visitors. Attractive landscape and experience of nature are the most important reasons to visit this region and to spend leisure time there. Particularly mountain meadows, raised bogs and mixed forests are highly appreciated. Deforestation, industrial development and the decline of biodiversity would reduce attractiveness for visitors. We also assessed whether the tourism sector is prepared to contribute to the funding of nature conservation and landscape management. Use of general tax revenues is favoured, but other modes would also be accepted, e.g. a nature tax. Willingness to pay (WTP) is ranging between €0.75 and €1.36 per guest per night by TSP, or between €1.06 and €2.73 per day by visitors. With respect to landscape preference and WTP we found in some cases significant differences among visitors, depending on region of residence, age and education level. A major part of the annual costs for nature conservation and landscape could be covered by public funds (taxes), if the results of the WTP approach were understood as a sign of societal demand and a call to action.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur Malmö stad använder sig av evenemang för en ökad attraktionskraft. Studiens syfte och frågeställningar har besvarats genom intervjuer med Malmö stad, Malmö Turistbyrå, Tourism in Skåne och Event in Skåne. Insamlingen av empiri har utförts genom kvalitativa telefonintervjuer samt en kvalitativ mailintervju, alla dessa baserades på ett icke-sannolikhetsurval gällande urvalet av respondenter. Samtliga intervjuer har haft öppna frågor och varit semistrukturerade. Intervjufrågorna har utformats utifrån studiens frågeställningar och har anpassats efter respektive respondent. I studien har även en litteraturstudie genomförts utifrån tre rapporter med fokus på de effekter som uppstod genom Handbolls-VM 2011. Studiens teoretiska referensram utgår från förklaring av attraktionskraft, typer av evenemang, effekter av evenemang, evenemangsturism, samarbete och image. Undersökningen har strukturerats upp utefter de intervjuer och litteraturstudie som har gjorts. Gemensamma rubriker har skapats för att få en tydligare struktur och en röd tråd för att göra studien läsvänlig. Analysen har strukturerats upp utifrån studiens frågeställningar. Slutsatsen av studien är att Malmös attraktionskraft ökar genom evenemang då staden har ett bra utvecklat samarbete mellan stadens aktörer. Detta gör att staden skapar möjligheter för att arrangera fler attraktiva evenemang. Attraktionskraften ökar även genom att det finns en medvetenhet i staden när det gäller vilka positiva effekter evenemang kan bidra till, exempelvis att stärka stadens image, skapa en bättre gemenskap bland lokalbefolkningen och ett ökat besöksantal. Studien visar att både Handbolls-VM 2011 och Eurovision Song Contest 2013 har bidragit till ovanstående effekter.

Abstract This chapter presents a wildlife tourism destination attractiveness and sustainability framework based on relevant destination attractiveness attributes and sustainability indicators. The framework was tested at Lake Nakuru National Park (LNNP) in Kenya. Attractiveness was categorized into four dimensions that included wildlife resources, park accessibility, cost of attractions and park image. As the findings indicated, there was direct positive effect of all four dimensions. A relatively low effect was recorded with regard to park image, which is likely to have contributed to low satisfaction experience, future behavioural intentions and park ecological value. In addition, among the repeat visitors' responses, the majority agreed there was increased wildlife disappearance, increased difficulty in sightseeing key wildlife attractions at LNNP, invasive new species within the park, changes in wildlife grazing grounds, infrastructure damage and increased visibility of litter inside the park.

This article analyzes social networks and modern technologies for their use on the basis of the developed methodology for a comprehensive assessment of the formation and development of tourist flows.
The regions of the Russian Federation are actively developing domestic and inbound tourism. One of the tools for the formation of tourist flows is the purposeful promotion of the tourist product of the regions in social networks. They, in turn, form impressions and a figurative portrait of the territory, attracting more and more Russian and foreign tourists.

Full textAbstract:
Transport infrastructure is an essential component of competitive tourism development and a key element in moving the tourists efficiently nearer to the tourism product. The location, capacity, efficiency, and connectivity of transport can significantly influence the mobility of tourists and enhance the destination´s accessibility. Researchers´ interest is to investigate how high-speed rail (HSR) can determine the destination choice, reinforce its attractiveness, and affect the tourists´ consumption patterns. This paper aims to define basic directions of research in the field of tourist mobility and high-speed rail. Based on the current publishing activity, it identifies the research problems and the approaches applied by the researchers. The literature review process involves searching the relevant literature, extracting data, analysing data, and synthesising the findings using descriptive synthesis. The results mostly come from areas where the HSR already exists. The HSR can affect the tourists' choice to visit neighbouring cities. Similarly, it gives value to already known and popular tourist destinations. Finally, it should be noted that the evidence is, however, often extremely limited.

Tourism is important for the economy of our country and the tourist attractiveness of the cities of the Russian Federation is quite high. Combining history and tourism, several types of tourism (cultural and educational, industrial, event) can serve as a great impetus for the formation of new thematic routes and an interesting excursion program for tourists of different ages. In this article, the author of the work has formed a thematic material for the 60th anniversary of the flight of the first man into space and shows the importance of Russian cities through the prism of cosmonauts who made the first attempts to conquer outer space. This material can serve as a basis for the development of thematic brochures.

By using a comparison approach, this article examines the current features of domestic tourism in Lithuania. Various aspects of domestic tourism are analysed and discussed. The aim of this study is to identify current trends specific to the Lithuanian domestic tourism sector and propose potential means of development. The methods of statistical analysis, graphic representation and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) were used in the research. The analysed period was 2004 through 2014. The comparison between outbound tourism and domestic tourism consumption shows, that outbound tourists’ consumption is considerably high compared to domestic tourists’ consumption. However domestic tourism is much less sensitive to crises; it is quite stable and important segment in Lithuanian tourism industry. If to compare tourism consumption, two products show significant upward trend: Sport and other entertainment services since 2010 and Cultural services since 2011. After 2008 year recession domestic tourism sector revives, tourists expenditure reached pre-crisis level, although the increase of same-day visitors’ expenditure is slightly. In the regions of Lithuania same-day tourism opportunities are well-exploited; however, overnight tourism possibilities are not well developed. On the basis of the DEA method it can be concluded that in Telsiai county it is purposeful to improve the activity of museums and travel agents’ work, and in Alytus, Panevezys, Siauliai, Taurage, Telsiai counties it is best to improve the attractiveness/appeal of regional parks.

Full textAbstract:
The measures taken by the states of the world to limit the disease with the Sars Cov 2 virus imposed, in the first phase of the pandemic, numerous restrictions on mobility and physical distance, a situation that significantly changed the way tourism is carried out worldwide. In this context, some typologies of tourist activities were highlighted, which before the pandemic represented only a small segment of tourist flows and economic benefits. The natural areas with dispersed tourist objectives, with low population densities, the local villages, have entered the sphere of interest of some social categories of population that access the international tourism or the urban cultural areas. Virtual tourism has gained more and more ground, the circulation of tourist information in the online environment has intensified through photos showing the behavior of tourists in the circumstances of the pandemic. The study aims to measure, through a comparative and diachronic analysis (before and during the pandemic), the perception and representation of tourism through geocoded photography and assess how the attractiveness of tourist resources in two geographical areas (Suceava County and Maramures County) has changed. Among the existing web photo distribution platforms, we analyzed the geocoded photos on the Picasaweb platform, this platform being in direct contact with the web service and Google street viewing services, popular in Romania. The research aims at analyzing the photographic appearances of the localities from the two counties, Suceava and Maramures in the period February - August 2020. Research methods used: analysis of tourist areas, statistical recording of tourist flows during the pandemic, comparison of the two regions with the intensity of tourist traffic reflected in the attached photos online, cartographic method by presenting tourist information on territorial options. In conclusion, it is observed that the hostile period of the pandemic had a positive impact on the sustainability of tourism, especially of those territories that are of great interest and became overcrowded in the same period of previous years.

"DIVE SITE ATTRACTIVENESS INDEX (DSAI) AS AN INNOVATION IN SCUBA DIVING TOURISM: A CASE OF PERHENTIAN ISLANDS." In GLOBAL TOURISM CONFERENCE 2021. PENERBIT UMT, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.46754/gtc.2021.11.004.
Full textAbstract:
Dive sites which are home to various forms of marine life, unique structures and corals have become the main attraction for scuba divers. Divers normally choose the most attractive diving sites by visiting dive centers or getting referrals from other divers. However, there is problem in conventional subjective judgments where no standard measures have been considered. As a result, the judgments on dive site attractiveness may satisfy some divers but not others. To avoid these uncertainties, this research innovatively developed the world’s first index model for the attractiveness a dive site. Eight factors have been carefully selected, namely visibility, current stability, uniqueness of underwater scenery, coral health, the immensity of the coral reef, diversity and density of marine life. Then, these identified factors were ranked and assessed by using an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Evidential Reasoning (ER). Finally, all dive sites are indexed so it can be compared with others for better decision-making. To test the applicability of this proposed model, 22 dive sites in Perhentian Island were successfully assessed, indexed, and mapped. Terumbu Tiga (T3), Sail Rock and Tokong Laut were indexed as the top three dive sites in Perhentian Islands. The results also showed that the most profound factor that determined the attractiveness of a dive site was the diversity of its marine life followed by the diversity of its coral species, and the uniqueness of its underwater scenery. Practically, this model can be applied and widely used for indexing all dive sites in the world based on decision-makers’ preferences. It is expected that this index model will benefit divers, dive centers, marine parks, and related agencies by providing a new information that can be used in marine tourism.
