Rosa dos ventos turismo e hospitalidades

Given the importance of the wine sector in Baja California, Mexico, the purpose of this research is to explore the tourism and marketing characteristics of family-owned micro wineries with a production of no more than 5,000 annual/boxes of wine from the Guadalupe Valley, and to identify the socio-demographic consumption parameters. Based on the results, recommendations were made with the cautionary note that more research is needed to address the gap of information that exists in this topic. The research design was a mixed one, qualitative and quantitative, in which a convenience sample of 200 visitors to the Guadalupe Valley were surveyed, and 17 experts in the domain area were interviewed, which allowed to gather data about wine shopping behavior, wine marketing, wine tourism and country background. The results indicated the existence of a significant relationship between dependent and independent variables using Chi Square analysis in SPSS (type of wine + frequency of consumption, type of retailer and willingness to pay). Additionally, a large number of smaller, family-owned wineries, that have limited production runs, and diversify their services via restaurant and boutique type lodging, was uncovered. Conclusions are drawn and implications discussed.Rosa dos Ventos Turismo e Hospitalidadeshttp://www.ucs.br/etc/revistas/index.php/rosadosventos/article/view/577

Annotated checklist of the coastal ichthyofauna from Michoacán State, Mexico

This study is the first to complete an intensive and comprehensive list of the ichthyofauna of nearly all ecosystems of the Michoacán coast, Mexico. The resulting systematic checklist, supplemented with information from the literature and scientific collections, comprises 440 species belonging to two classes, 31 orders, 104 families, and 264 genera. The families with the highest number of species were Sciaenidae (30 spp.), Carangidae (26), Haemulidae (24), Serranidae (21), Paralichthyidae, and Gobiidae (13). Of the total species list, 134 represent first records for the Michoacán State, and one is a first record for Mexico. The results expand the number of known fish species of the Michoacán coast by almost one third and will help to develop conservation and management plans for this coastal zone
