“…Sustainable Development Goals. Thus, several studies [ 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 ] underline the major role of religion in the communication on social sustainability. More precisely, this research highlights the close relationship between the role of religious beliefs and practices in persuading and engaging spiritual communities in favor of social sustainable behaviors and life.…”

This article presents an empirical study on the institutional audiovisual mediatization of social sustainability made by the eighteen religious denominations officially recognized in Romania during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic onset. Research is undertaken based on the mediatization theories. Specifically, it highlights and discusses the conditions for producing the meaning of social sustainability as a result of religious mediatization during the months of March, April and May 2020, a period with strong religious connotations since it involved the dates of the major annual feasts celebrated by the three majority monotheistic religions, i.e., the Christian Easter, the Muslim Ramadan and the Jewish Passover. As a result, we noticed that the production of meaning in terms of social sustainability was simultaneously anchored in the accumulation of four contextual “social worlds”: (a) that of social transformation induced by mediatization, (b) that of the COVID-19 pandemic, a crisis that is neither social, economic, or environmental, but with consequences on the three levels of reality mentioned above, (c) that of spirituality during the time of the great monotheistic religious feasts and (d) that of the national culture of Romania, statistically the most religious country of the European Union.

“…This is generally defined as e-WOM and is closely linked to user-generated content. In the wine sector, as in other fields-for example, the tourism sector (Cortese, D'Ambrosio, Petracca, 2019;Petracca, 2019)-the analysis of electronic and online WOM can facilitate the understanding of consumers' perceptions, in this case, users, regarding some aspect of the sector.…”

The paper develops an exploratory research. It aims to understand the elements considered by a wine company to enter the US market and the characteristics considered to be important for US wine consumers when choosing a wine. For this purpose, the paper conducts two different steps of study: (1) it analyzes the US wine market, through a secondary data set; and (2) it studies a random sample of 4,560 reviews of US wines consumers found on CellarTracker. After a reflection on cultural issues related to the internationalization of companies, the paper presents briefly the theme of cross-cultural management, which is fundamental for the approach to new markets, and then it focuses on the wine industry. The focus will be on the peculiarity of the production of Italian wine companies and their choices of internationalization, particularly in the US market. The analyses show that (1) the US market ranks first in terms of consumption and represents, among other things, the first destination area for Italian sales and (2) the US consumer is strongly focused on the organoleptic properties of the wine.

“…However, it must also contribute to the intelligent integration of the actors in the distribution chain, which involves the generation and exchange of information and knowledge [26,27,33,76]. In addition, it should help improve the tourist experience as an essential activity [77] by also encouraging the protection of resources, the rescue of culture, and sources of employment [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

“…A great number of researchers have addressed these problems by motivating and proposing the promotion of tourist destinations by distinguishing different aspects. For example, the synergy between faith and religion as a cultural essence for the delineation of strategies [5][6][7]; the awareness of animal protection that regards them as elements that improve tourism and the economic potential of a place [8][9][10][11]; the handcrafting and agricultural impulse [12,13], along with ancestral practices [14,15] as a revitalizing economic alternative in rural areas; the development of gastronomy entrepreneurships as culture value; and the fight against poverty [16,17].…”

Semantic Icons: A Sentiment Analysis as a Contribution to Sustainable Tourism

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The construction of this research was developed to reflect the way information and communication technologies (ICT) have transformed the tourist distribution channel. This phenomenon has caused, in the first place, the direct interaction between tourists and tourism operators and, second, the appearance of real virtual intermediation actors, a situation that disadvantages the activity of traditional travel agencies and causes immersions in reintermediation processes at risk of compromising its permanence in the market. On the other hand, in a sustainable tourism context, this work represents an opportunity for intermediation agencies in terms of a value management practice as they can develop sustainable promotion processes that promote, for example, the protection of the territory, the conservation of resources, and cultural rescue. Therefore, according to travel agencies, to directly influence the distribution chain, we verified this work to demonstrate the use of digital language as a benefit in the design of sustainable tourism products. Thus, from the methodological discipline of discourse analysis, we created sets of words with semantic content that were valued through the sentiment scales of the Facebook social media network. The results showed that digital promotion favors airline companies and hostels more than a sustainable tourism environment as such. Finally, from the study of probability and density equations, predictive models were used to configure linguistic icons in promoting sustainable tourism.
