Overtourism as a prerequisite for the sustainability of tourist destinations
This article defines the development of travel and tourism and provides the historical context that give rise to the use of tourism as a development tool. The impacts of tourism are discussed, and sustainability is introduced as a method for minimizing the negative impacts. As a contemporary phenomenon overtourism is a new vision to understand what is happening in traditional touristic destinations because of increasing of tourism and its impact onĀ infrastructures and facilities. It reflects challenges of managing growing tourism flows into destinations and the impact of tourism on cities and its residents. This study provides a systematic literature review about how the travel and tourism industry are changing and developing in the world and how overtourism impacts sustainability in the destinations
Role of the sustainable tourist development for the regional economy of Varna Municipality
An important component in assessing the role of sustainable tourism is determining its economic, environmental, cultural and social impact in the designated area. The recognition of impacts that tourism causes in destination areas is a crucial parameter in the decision-making process for tourism. This process is essential so that tourismās sustainability in a destination area will be ensured. This study uses a matrix of indicators to examine the economic effects of tourism in a Varna municipality. The matrix provides a systematic framework for synthesizing and displaying the data on a regional tourism industry and estimating his regional economic multiplier in terms of sustainable development
Survey of Visual and Force/Tactile Control of Robots for Physical Interaction in Spain
Sensors provide robotic systems with the information required to perceive the changes that happen in unstructured environments and modify their actions accordingly. The robotic controllers which process and analyze this sensory information are usually based on three types of sensors (visual, force/torque and tactile) which identify the most widespread robotic control strategies: visual servoing control, force control and tactile control. This paper presents a detailed review on the sensor architectures, algorithmic techniques and applications which have been developed by Spanish researchers in order to implement these mono-sensor and multi-sensor controllers which combine several sensors
