An Analysis of the Evolution of Tourism Destinations from the Point of View of the Economic Growth Theory

In this paper we try to build a bridge between the traditional analysis of the evolution of tourism destinations and economic growth theory. With such an aim we develop an environmental growth model for an economy specialized in tourism and we derive the pattern of tourism development with numerical calculations. The results of our simulations do not contradict the general pattern of evolution implied in the Tourism Area Life Cycle Hypothesis, being environmental deterioration and public goods congestion the main reasons for the stagnation of the tourism destination. We also show the importance of the quality of private tourism services in the evolution of the tourism destination.Tourism, Economic growth, Tourism lifcycle

Description of the final instar larva of argia serva hagein selys, 1865 (Odonata coenagrionidae)

The American genus Argia, with more than 100 species described, is the most speciose genus of Odonata in the world. In this contribution, the final stadium larva of Argia serva, the southernmost distributed species of Argia, is described and diagnosed based on reared material from Martín García island, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The larva of this species can be easily separated from the other Argentinean Argia by the following combination of characters: sternum of S8 covered with spines (bare in A. translata); antennal segment 3 longer than 1+2 (equal to or shorter than 1+2 in A. joergenseni and A. jujuya); palpal setae absent (present in A. croceipennis). A key to the known larvae of Argia of the Southern Cone is provided.Fil: del Palacio, Alejandro. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas; Argentina.

The rise of SOL - Sociedad(e) de Odonatología Latinoamericana

In the last decades, odonatology in Latin Americahas had a notable improvement in the number ofresearchers and students from within Latin Americancountries studying Odonata biology, ecology andsystematics.This improvement together with theoverwhelming diversity of the region not only hasconsolidated the integration among Latin Americancountries, but also made possible the integration ofLatin America into the international scenario. Thisis evidenced by the election of two Latin Americancities as venues for the International Congress ofOdonatology (Xalapa, Mexico in 2009, and BuenosAires, Argentina in 2015)Fil: Muzon, Javier.

Land, Environmental Externalities and Tourism Development

In a two sectors dynamic model we analyze the process of tourism development based on the accumulation of capital (building of tourism facilities) and the reallocation of land from traditional activities to the tourism sector. The model incorporates the conflict between occupation of the territory by the tourism facilities, other productive activities and availability of cultural, natural and environmental assets that are valued by residents and visitors. We characterize the process of tourism development in two settings: the socially optimal solution and a situation where the costs of tourism expansion are external to the decision makers, where externalities on residents as well as intraindustry externalities are considered. Regarding the optimal solution, we show that it is optimal to limit tourism expansion before it reaches its maximum capacity even in a context where the economic attractiveness of tourism relative to other productive sectors rise continuously. However, in this context and when all the costs of tourism development are externalities the only limit to tourism quantitative expansion is its maximum capacity determined by the availability of land. Finally, we show that excessive environmental degradation from the future generations’ point of view is not a problem of discounting the future but rather a problem of externalities that affects negatively the current and future generations.Intertemporal land allocation, Structural economic change, Tourism industry

Transformaciones comunicativas en el consumo del tráiler cinematográfico en internet

El tráiler es una forma breve publicitaria cuya función principal es anunciar una película. A día de hoy, existen muy pocas invesigaciones académicas dedicadas al estudio del tráiler. El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar cómo afecta la aparición y desarrollo de internet en la construcción de esta forma publicitaria, analizando especialmente la forma en la que el receptor se aproxima a su consumo (cómo, cuándo y dónde) y qué estrategias comunicativas intervienen en el proceso.A trailer is a brief form of advertisement with the only function of promoting a film. Nowadays, there are very few scholar works dedicated to the study of the trailer. The goal of this paper is to study how the development of internet has affected the construction of this form of advertisement, analyzing specifically the way that the audience consumes it (how, when and where) and what communicative strategies are involved in the process
