“…For instance, there is no consensus in the literature with respect to the number of nights in a destination for a trip to be considered a city break. Whereas Fache (1994) defines it as a trip lasting between one and three nights, Valls, Sureda, and Valls-Tuñon (2014) distinguish between city breaks, short and long holidays, as those lasting 1---2 nights, 3---4 nights or 8 night stays or longer, respectively. Finally, Dunne et al (2010) include trips of 4---5 nights or longer.…”

“…As for the reason of visit, there are not particularities in city breaks either. Part of the literature tends to be comprehensive, and includes holiday, cultural, business, health, sports, MICE (meetings, incentives, conferencing and exhibitions) or other as reasons for break-type, short or longer visits (Valls et al, 2014), whereas other studies feature these trips as ''national or international leisure breaks'' (Dunne et al 2010), or as nonbusiness trips (Fache, 1994). These procedural problems in terms of recognizing city break travels forced us to adopt a less restrictive view of the duration time, and a greater focus on a list of classification variables used as data-entry control, as we explain in the empirical research.…”

Research on tourism has been enormously benefited from the marketing of services literature in the understanding of satisfaction, its antecedents and its consequent factors. Recent emphasis on customers' experiences has shifted the focus to a redefinition of the antecedents of satisfaction. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is currently no comparative analysis set out to determine whether experiences under this new framework may suggest a more significant influence on satisfaction among city travelers. Our study delves into these phenomena for the specific case of short lasting touristic city trips, a type of tourism not sufficiently studied for its relevance in terms of growth and turnover. From a survey of a sample of 136 British city travelers, using Structural Equation Modeling, we compare the Quality and Value of Services frameworks and the Experience Economy framework in a series of three regression models in order to determine which one shows higher explanatory power, measured by means of the resulting regression coefficient. The experiential factor seems to show slightly better explanatory power on both value and satisfaction opinions.Enfoque de la Economía de la experiencia; Calidad de los servicios; Valor de los servicios; Turismo urbano; Satisfacción Una comparación de los antecedentes de la satisfacción en las escapadas urbanasResumen La investigación sobre turismo se ha visto muy beneficiada por la literatura sobre el marketing de servicios a fin de comprender la satisfacción, sus antecedentes y sus factores consecuentes. El reciente énfasis sobre las experiencias de los consumidores ha trasladado el objeto de interés hacia una redefinición de los antecedentes de la satisfacción. No obstante, y a nuestro entender, no existen actualmente análisis empíricos comparativos que muestren si las experiencias, tal y como son entendidas bajo este nuevo enfoque, puedan sugerir una influencia más significativa sobre la satisfacción entre los turistas urbanos. Nuestro estudio profundiza en estas relaciones para el caso específico de los viajes turísticos cortos o escapadas de turismo

“…According to Sheng (2010), cities may capitalize on their inherent quality and specificattractions, such as historical heritage sites and special landscapes, and convenient location for shopping and entertainment. The advantages of cities to become a touristic destination are also supported by the competitive advantage of the availability of infrastructure and facilities (Valls et al, 2014). That way, the development of tourism within a city can also support the expansion of the city in terms of the physical environment (Ismail and Baum, 2006).…”

Pontianak City is the capital of West Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. In contributing to one of its missions to be a city that supports the development of trade,services and tourism, Pontianak continues to make improvements through physical development and spatial arrangement to maintain the flow of goods and services. The purpose of this study was to analyze the existing urban networks (in this case infrastructure networks) in Pontianak in support of the city's development goals to become a leading trade, services, and tourism center in Kalimantan. Network analysis was applied by analyzing the infrastructure networks, explore the 'structural position' and then the tendency of the infrastructure network configuration in connecting the trade/market areas or tourist attractions was investigated. Based on the analysis, it was found that the central or important areas that link other areas within the infrastructure network configuration are still dominated by market or trading areas/functions, while for tourist attractions they are still limited. Increased centering or grouping in specific areas can be achieved by adding or reducing the degree of connectedness, by arranging the flow or connections (links) from one area (point) to another, directly or indirectly, with the infrastructure network as the intermediary.

“…Primarily, real "total attractiveness" must be considered from the (able of multiple perception) consumer -final customer point of view and interpreted in relation with specific and very impacting multi-polyhedric "responses" [19] to the consumer (in btoc). The complete set of every relevant (and well perceived ) component [20] (able to increase benefit for consumer and -possibly in co-valuing-value for consumer), must be considered and activated [21][22] [23].…”

Part of literature and practice in tourism destination (Management) often consider (in case of weak marketing point of view) a too restrictive interpretation and implementation of (destination) "attractiveness". This is a paradox. Frequently attractiveness in tourist destination management only means natural and intrinsic appeal of a destination, site or locus or similar. In important btoc fields, management and systemic marketing enlarge significance/contents of (complete) "attractiveness" (for the consumer-final client ). Also tourist destination management, rarely completely oriented to consumer (person-consumer), must reduce gap in implementation of real comprehensive, entire attractiveness (for consumer in btoc tourism). This paper also indicates how to apply to tourist destination management "complete" and impacting attractiveness, with really systemic marketing proposed by the author and gradually activated by outstanding firms also in Italy. So, this paper that enlarges "attractiveness" (for consumers) word , like occurs in other btoc fields, focalizes new kind of systemic marketing concepts and approaches, to increase impact of really comprehensive destination attractiveness (for consumer-final client ) not only using web. Also, this paper with neologisms , emphasizes how enlarged "attractiveness"(for consumers) can ameliorate (in btoc tourism management) multiple systemic "differentiation" by a lot of important (systemic) marketing topics, now including neologisms like: bunch, blend, propositioning, and so on, referring to single or aggregate of single advanced systemic marketing. Looking to unrestricted attractiveness, this paper proposes a shift from "natural" limited attractiveness to a real whole attractiveness, involving so called "persumer" (person-consumer) and it presents a new related concepts and a (called D.D.-B.B.) multi polyhedric systemic marketing approach to ameliorate impact on consumer (in btoc Tourism Management). To catch other opportunities referring to so called "external valorization", (multi-polyhedric) S.A.W.A or "Systemic Articulated Whole Attractiveness", activates polyhedric, strong "mixtures" (including experiential marketing), bunch and blend and other concepts impacting on "Whole Multiple Systemic Differentiation" related to a complete attractiveness. This includes effects of propositioning to positioning not only brand or normal packages in tourism. This paper proposes various possible innovations in words and emphasizes how various new attractiveness (of a specific whole firm) for the consumer-customer depends also on aggregating single (multi-articulated ) advanced systemic marketing into D.D. (new articulated and consumer oriented D.O., part of a new DOM) , to get (through B.B.) more and really excellent results by comprehensive, whole differentiation (not only of intrinsic site-destination) also sprung from "new" complete Attractiveness (to the consumer-final client).
