Evolución de la política turística en Singapur (1965-2015)

Singapur ha experimentado en los últimos 50 años un gran avance en términos turísticos y es un ejemplo de un destino con muchas limitaciones que ha logrado consolidar su liderazgo y ejercer una gran influencia en su entorno. En esta investigación se analiza la evolución de la política turística de Singapur mediante una adaptación del modelo de Airey y Chong (2011). Se parte de la premisa de que detrás de las decisiones y actuaciones tomadas en este ámbito hay una serie de factores externos e internos al sistema turístico que lo condicionan. Bajo esta perspectiva y a través de un análisis del contexto en el que se elabora la política turística se identifican las claves del éxito del modelo turístico de Singapur. 

Governance, overtourism and impacts in Malaga, Spain: Recommendations for sustainability.

chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://iatour.org/icot2023/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Book-of-Abstracts-ICOT2023-ver.1.pdfGovernance, Overtourism and Impacts in Malaga, Spain: Recommedations for Sustainability This research aims to understand the relationships between governance, overtourism and the impacts of tourism on residents. To this end, this study proposes a novel research model in which governance and overtourism factors are related to social and environmental impacts. In view of the intensification of tourism in the most overcrowded urban destinations in Europe and the Mediterranean, it is necessary to develop sustainable management measures. We conducted a survey of the residents of the municipality of Malaga, Spain. We conducted a factor analysis and regression and proxy maps of the main variables. We created a specific questionnaire to analyse the main factors affecting tourism management and its impacts. The survey is statistically representative (n=450). The results highlight the relationship between municipal governance and overtourism, and how the latter causes the social and environmental impacts of tourism. Impacts related to environmental problems are the most negatively valued by residents and affect their quality of life. A novel investigation is carried out on the relationships between the perception of tourism governance, tourist saturation and the impacts of tourism in a crowded space such as the historic centre of the city of Malaga, Spain.Universidad de Málaga.

Percepciones de la turistificación según lugar de residencia en el destino: el caso de Málaga

A novel research is carried out on the relationships between tourism governance, touristification and the perception of the impacts generated in a consolidated urban destination such as Malaga. It proposes a measure of touristification and its impacts in terms of the spatial distribution of residents. To this end, 450 residents of the municipality were surveyed and 15 semi-structured interviews were conducted. Factor analysis and qualitative content analysis were applied. The results show the link between governance and touristification and how this affects perceptions of economic, social and environmental impacts and place identity. In particular, place of residence (centre/periphery) influences perceptions related to touristification.The research was funded by the project: Adaptation strategies and alternatives from inland tourism destinations in times of change (ADAPTATUR) (PID2020- 114186RB-C22), Ministry of Science and Innovation, Government of Spain

Supervivencia de la oferta hotelera en un destino maduro de litoral: el caso de Torremolinos

Se realiza un estudio sobre la supervivencia hotelera en un destino maduro litoral como es el caso de Torremolinos. En los estudios de supervivencia hotelera la utilización de variables geográficas y de tipología de destinos son una aportación novedosa. Para este estudio se han identificado todos los hoteles abiertos en el siglo XX y XXI en Torremolinos, y se han localizado espacialmente mediante el programa ArcGIS Desktop. A través del SPSS v.25 se ha calculado la supervivencia de los hoteles, para ello se ha aplicado el estimador de Kaplan-Meier y la prueba de Log Rank. Se han utilizado siete variables para estimar el comportamiento de los hoteles: antigüedad, categoría, densidad, capacidad de alojamiento, distancia a la playa, popularidad del hotel y precio de la habitación. Los resultados destacan que los hoteles con una mayor capacidad de supervivencia son aquellos que iniciaron su andadura en la década de 1990, con cuatro estrellas, con una densidad significativa de plazas por m2, que tienen una oferta superior a las 300 camas por hotel y que se encuentran cerca de la playa. De forma general, el precio de la habitación y la popularidad del hotel disminuyen conforme se alejan de la playa

Breaking boundaries: Exploring gendered challenges and advancing equality for Iranian women careers in tourism.

Política de acceso abierto tomada de: https://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/id/publication/17162While there's growing interest in gender and employment issues in tourism studies, a gap exists when examining the obstacles women face in career pursuits, especially in theocratic societies. Drawing on Risman's gender structure theory, this qualitative study investigates how Iranian women perceive the impact of gender power dynamics on their careers and those of their peers. The findings reveal inhibitory factors affecting women's quest for equal career opportunities, including deeply ingrained societal influences on gender roles, institutionalized gender discrimination, and self-imposed constraints. The findings also demonstrate how gender stereotypes and theocratic structures manifest in the Iranian tourism industry, and how Iranian women working in the tourism sector actively negotiate, resist, and challenge these stereotypes to advance their careers. In a field where most gender-related studies originate from Western perspectives, this study holds particular significance in amplifying the voices of those in non-Western, theocratic societies.The research was funded by the project: Adaptation strategies and alternatives from inland tourism destinations in times of change (ADAPTATUR) (PID2020114186RB-C22), Ministry of Science and Innovation, Government of Spain.

Perceptions of touristification according to place of residence in the destination: the case of Malaga

Percepciones de la turistificación según lugar de residencia en el destino: el caso de Málaga Se realiza una investigación novedosa sobre las relaciones entre la gobernanza turística, la turistificación y la percepción de los impactos que se generan en un destino urbano consolidado como es el caso de Málaga. Se propone una medición de la turistificación y sus impactos en función de la distribución espacial de los residentes. Para ello se ha encuestado a 450 residentes del municipio y se han realizado 15 entrevistas semiestructuradas. Se aplica un análisis factorial y un análisis cualitativo de contenido. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto la relación entre la gobernanza y la turistificación, y cómo ésta condiciona la percepción de los impactos económicos, sociales y ambientales y la identidad de lugar. Es destacable que el lugar de residencia (centro/periferia) influye en las percepciones relacionadas con la turistificación

Clonal chromosomal mosaicism and loss of chromosome Y in elderly men increase vulnerability for SARS-CoV-2

The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19) had an estimated overall case fatality ratio of 1.38% (pre-vaccination), being 53% higher in males and increasing exponentially with age. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, we found 133 cases (1.42%) with detectable clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations (mCA) and 226 males (5.08%) with acquired loss of chromosome Y (LOY). Individuals with clonal mosaic events (mCA and/or LOY) showed a 54% increase in the risk of COVID-19 lethality. LOY is associated with transcriptomic biomarkers of immune dysfunction, pro-coagulation activity and cardiovascular risk. Interferon-induced genes involved in the initial immune response to SARS-CoV-2 are also down-regulated in LOY. Thus, mCA and LOY underlie at least part of the sex-biased severity and mortality of COVID-19 in aging patients. Given its potential therapeutic and prognostic relevance, evaluation of clonal mosaicism should be implemented as biomarker of COVID-19 severity in elderly people. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, individuals with clonal mosaic events (clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations and/or loss of chromosome Y) showed an increased risk of COVID-19 lethality
