Finding A “True Morocco:” How Tourists Change Moroccan Economies, Infrastructure and Cultures

The overall purpose of this study was to research the effects of adventure tourism on rural towns and villages, notably their financial cultural and physical aspects. Issues such as the commodification of lived experiences in a post-colonial context will be examined. The study was conducted via interviews from hotel workers and guides in major tourist cities (Fes, Rabat and Merzouga). I found that most international tourists hailed from Western countries; thus, English or French were the primary languages used in the tourism business. Also, significant modes of craftsmanship that faced a cultural extinction, such as folk music, rugs, and pottery, experienced a rebirth with tourist dollars. Finally, communities invested more considerable financial resources to protecting sites of natural and cultural beauty so tourists could use them for recreational activities. In conclusion, tourism was beneficial for cities in generating cash flow and protecting cultural institutions

Study on the Effect of Cuisine Tourism Resource on Tourists’ Willingness to Visit

This article aims at examining if tourists’ evaluation of cuisine tourism resource has a positive effect on their willingness to visit (WTV) the destination (H1). In Study 1, the content analysis of travelogues of 60 Chinese major tourist cities shows that the scenic spots have a significant effect on WTV, while the effect of cuisine tourism resource on WTV is not supported. Moreover, the tourist city Chengdu with both abundant scenic spots and cuisine resources is chosen for further research of how cuisine resources influence tourist’ decisions. In term of 276 questionnaires (Study 2) and 30 interviewee (Study 3), the results show that the impact of the cuisine resource on WTV is moderated by the tourists’ evaluation on the scenic spots. Only when tourists have a high evaluation on scenic spots, the cuisine resource plays a positive impact on WTV, showing the auxiliary attraction of cuisine resource to tourists

A new marketing mix model to rescue the hospitality industry: Evidence from Egypt after the Arab Spring

After January 25th 2011 Egypt witnessed political, economic and social instability leading to drastic consequences in the hospitality and tourism industry. Thus unstable situation reflected on the deteriorated occupancy percentages that led to declined profit margins, higher employee layoffs and degraded quality of product and services. The objectives of this research is to examine how the Egyptian hospitality properties manage this dilemma through their marketing practices, and to propose a new marketing mix model that adds new layers of depth to the traditional marketing mix model. A methodological framework was designed to help in the assessment process of management practices pertaining to marketing initiatives during times of crisis. Results indicated the presence of tactical elements that assembled the traditional marketing mix model in the investigated hotels. However, these elements are not effectively used and the interaction between them not appears very clear. Results also indicated that the new proposed model would help in providing a framework for the Egyptian hospitality industry to maintain their competitive position during crisis time and avoiding undesired situations for labour force and decline of companies׳ revenues.The authors are grateful to the FEMISE (Forum Euro-Mediterranean of Institutes of Economics).

How does tourism industry dependence affect economic growth in western China? --Based on the inspection and interpretation of the Resource Curse transmission mechanism

The relationship between tourism industry dependence and economic growth is still controversial, and there are few quantitative studies on its transmission mechanism. Based on the Resource Curse hypothesis, the panel data of 46 excellent tourism cities in the western region from 2000 to 2017 was used to examine the existence and transmission mechanism of the Resource Curse. The results show that: tourism industry dependence in the western region of China appears as a curse rather than a gospel for economic growth, and the transmission route of the curse effect is mainly that the tourism industry has a negative impact on the regional economy by squeezing out the manufacturing industry. The findings of the paper provide a theoretical proof for the existence and transmission mechanism of the tourism resource curse in western China, and have certain enlightenment for similar regions to avoid falling into the tourism resources curse trap

A Airbnb e o mercado de habitação na pandemia da covid-19 Um estudo comparativo de Barcelona e Lisboa

Since 2010, Airbnb has had a significant impact on the housing market in all tourist cities where it operates. With a very small investment, Airbnb enables the use of residential flats for short-term rentals, creating a rent increase that ultimately excludes long-term tenants. Using data drawn from the Inside Airbnb website, Idealista, and the 2011 Census of Spain and Portugal, this article first estimates the number of commercial listings, multi-hosts, and long-term rentals lost to Airbnb in Barcelona and Lisbon; second, it measures the potential increase in rents created by Airbnb in specific neighbourhoods in both cities; and finally, it examines the impact of the covid-19 pandemic on Airbnb activity in these cities.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
