Motivación y segmentación del turista en festivales culinarios.El caso de la feria gastronómica en el Parque Natural Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y las Villas (España)

Asociado al espacio natural y al disfrute gastronómico, la Feria del Parque Natural Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas (España) expone y comercializa productos agroalimentarios elaborados artesanalmente en este medio natural. Este artículo presenta una investigación que segmenta los turistas a partir de tres dimensiones motivacionales. Los resultados del estudio evidencian que la gastronomía es la principal dimensión motivacional. En base a las dimensiones detectadas se establecen cuatro tipologías de visitantes (turista multimotivado, turista hedónico-gastronómico, turista gastronómico y turista con otras motivaciones) que se consideran como válidasy de utilidad para segmentar el mercado. Las conclusiones muestran que junto a la gastronomía coexisten otros factores motivacionales relevantes que deben ser tenidos en consideración por los organizadores de las ferias gastronómicas.Associate countryside and gastronomic enjoyment, Fair Natural Park Sierras de Cazorla, Segura and the Villas (Spain) states and markets food products handmade in the wild. This paper presents research that targets tourists from three motivational dimensions. The study results show that the food is the main motivational dimension. Based on the dimensions identified four types of visitors (multimotivado tourist, tourist hedonic-gastronomic, tourist and gastronomic tourism with other motivations) that are considered as valid and useful to segment the market provide. The findings show that the cuisine coexist with other relevant motivational factors that must be taken into consideration by the organizers of the food fairs

University Students’ Behaviour towards Entrepreneurial Intention in Ecuador: Testing for the Influence of Gender

While the current global context of successive economic and health crises are punishing the economies of different countries in the world, it is particularly relevant to explore the business intentions of young university students, as potential entrepreneurs of opportunity. This matter is of the utmost importance, as it helps to facilitate the implementation of measures that can ensure the future recovery of the economy and the creation of new businesses. The objective of this paper is to study the institutional and psychological antecedents of entrepreneurial intention and the role of gender. The theory of planned behaviour is applied to assess how personal attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control can affect students′ intention of becoming an entrepreneur. In addition, organizational support and institutional barriers are tested as potentially significant antecedents of entrepreneurial intention, along with the influence of gender. The research carried out was based on survey responses from a sample of 740 students of economics, communications, and education at an Ecuadorian university. The research propositions were tested using a partial least squares approach. Results indicate that behaviour towards entrepreneurship does not change in relation to gender. In addition, personal attitudes and perceived behavioural control regarding entrepreneurship are positively related to students′ entrepreneurial intention. Organizational support is also found to be important for generating entrepreneurial intention. The paper adds to the current knowledge base on entrepreneurial intention by analysing the individual and joint influence of the principal elements of the theory of planned behaviour, as well as organizational support and institutional barriers on entrepreneurial intentions. Moreover, the research provides a useful perspective on the antecedents of entrepreneurial intention in an unexplored context such as Ecuador, by responding to the call focusing on entrepreneurial intention in different regions, cultures, and contexts

Video Game Streaming in Young People and Teenagers: Uptake, User Groups, Dangers, and Opportunities

In recent years, live video streaming platforms for video games have been gaining popularity. These types of services, which enable anyone to broadcast and consume live content, are revolutionising the current video game landscape. Users approach the emergence of and participation in these platforms driven by a range of motivations. It is essential to characterise the different forms of participation in services such as Twitch to evaluate the phenomenon and reflect on its advantages and disadvantages. To that end, a survey was carried out of 580 young people and adolescents aged between 14 and 24. The aim of this study is thus to explore the uptake of these platforms, as well as identify user groups, distinguish between different motivations, and address the associated benefits and harms. Applying a methodology based on factor analysis and cluster analysis, user profiles were characterised according to their specific features, gaming/viewing hours, self-perception of their skill level as a player, devices used, and type or genre of video game. Four subgroups of gamers/viewers were thus identified: casual, social, hobby, and problematic. The results showed that older users and female users feature more prominently in the first two groups, as do those spending less time on video games and live streaming platforms. Conversely, in the hobby and problematic groups, we observe just the opposite. The existence of profiles at possible risk of addiction underlines how, at a preventive level, there is a need for more in-depth research on these types of services and greater public awareness of the dangers of uncontrolled use

The Cultural Tourism and Flamenco

Flamenco is a living art that excites and awakens the senses of those who witness such a dance, singing and guitar show. It is a way of expressing feelings. Flamenco was considered a world intangible heritage of humanity by UNESCO and is a part of the identity and culture of Andalucía, place where it originated. Flamenco is a symbol of Spanish culture around the world. In addition, it has been discovered that there is a typology of flamenco tourists whose motivation is related to the search of experience and authenticity in the tourist destination. A search of published scientific articles on emotional tourism, motivation and flamenco has been conducted using three databases: Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar. Flamenco is an art that transmits passion in each of its three components: song, dance and music. Therefore, tourism management of the sites where flamenco is part of its identity must bet on its development and potential as a motivating factor to travel, bringing the emotion to the tourist, which consists not only in perceiving it, but also in experiencing it, living it. We conclude that Flamenco as a living art forms an essential part of Spain‘s cultural heritage and becomes an important tourist factor to cover the experiential needs of tourists

Specifically, the purpose of the work has been trying to identify the motivations that lead to student profiles to pick the master and its relationship to the vocational nature of the studies leading to it. To that end, a fieldwork was developed by collecting a total of 512 surveys Master students in Faculty Compulsory and High Secondary Education, Vocational Training and Language Teaching (hereinafter PLMS) belonging to the Universities of Burgos (UBU), Córdoba (UCO) and Jaén (UJA), during 2015/2016. The results reveal that initial training of high school teachers is predominantly focused on specific subjects within each specialty and that the structural dimensions (social, political, cultural, organizational) have not received enough importance, being represented in a series of subjects of low weight and "subordinate" to the specialty. Nor does the training that derives from the Practicum seem to receive enough importance.Universidad Pablo de Olavid

Food Markets: A Motivation-Based Segmentation of Tourists

Food markets are becoming popular as new spaces for recreation, and this research aims to discover the motivations driving the tourists that visit these markets. Factorial analysis, cluster analysis and Student’s t-test were applied on 456 surveys from two food markets in Córdoba (Spain). Three motivational factors were obtained: Gastronomic experience and novelty; hedonism and leisure; and the relationship of the experience with work. Segmenting and analyzing the profile of the tourist may help economic agents develop new strategies for the tourism management of a destination and more accurate marketing and branding strategies that target specific customers with a niche message. The study could help develop products that align with tourists’ motives to increase satisfaction and loyalty

Isolation and identification of minor secoiridoids and phenolic components from thermally treated olive oil by-products

Documento descargado de https://digital.csic.es/handle/10261/129335The application of an industrial process based on the hydrothermal treatment of 160 °C/60 min of alperujo, a by-product of olive oil extraction, allows the formation of a liquid phase containing a high concentration of phenolic and secoiridoid compounds. Ethyl acetate was used to extract these phenolic compounds from the aqueous matrix. In this study, the isolation with polyamide and XAD resin allowed detection of the presence of phenolic compounds in minor concentrations. These minor phenols were several oleuropein derivatives that had not been identified in these phenolic extracts previously. The polar compounds, acteosides, secoiridoids, and flavonoids, that remain in the aqueous fraction after extraction with ethyl acetate were identified. We report the presence of known compounds and also detected a novel molecule in alperujo with a molecular weight of 408 whose structure was characterized for first time. This new secoiridoid glucoside was identified as 1-β-D-glucopyranosyl acyclodihydroelenolic acid.Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness AGL2013-48291-REuropean Social Fund (ESF) AGL2013-48291-
