“…Moreover, in accordance with Meyer [7] and Greenwood & Wattal [8], accidents related to alcohol and drugs have also reduced in the years since Uber and Cabify have been operating. With respect to the influence of the population on traffic accidents, this variable is also statistically significant with a positive coefficient in the two models, which shows that a higher level of population generates more traffic and, as a result, gives rise to an increase in traffic accidents, in the same way as in the study carried out by Casares et al [19].…”

“…It is worth highlighting that in this type of analysis which focuses on smaller zones such as wards, neighborhoods or intersections among others, certain variables exist, and some estimation methods are difficult to conduct [16][17][18]. Nevertheless, a small-scale analysis can reveal other effects which are difficult to assess in a wider area analysis [19].…”

Analysis of the Impact of Ride-Hailing Services on Motor Vehicles Crashes in Madrid

et al. 2021

In most cities, discretionary passenger transport by car is predominantly supplied by taxi services. These services face competition from new digital platforms (UBER, Cabify, etc.) that connect users with the services offered by authorized drivers with a license for rented vehicles with drivers (VTC). However, very little is known about the impacts that these services produce in cities where they operate. So far, most studies on this issue have focused on cities of the United States of America, and they broadly found a positive impact in terms of road safety. Road safety has become one of the priority focuses for ensuring social welfare, to the point of being integrated into the Sustainable Development Goals as a primary value to achieve sustainable, safe and responsible mobility. Within this context, the objective of this paper is to analyze the impact of ride-hailing platforms on the frequency of traffic accidents with at least one fatally or seriously injured person in the municipality of Madrid from 2014 to 2018. To do this, a regression analysis has been carried out using a random effects negative binomial regression (RENB). The results of the model show that Uber and Cabify services are associated with a decrease in fatal and serious accidents in Madrid.

“…So far, the studies have been conducted in the areas of social sciences (Agarwal, Page, and Mawby, 2021;Malleka, Booyens, and Hoogendoorn, 2022), business and management (Zou & Meng, 2020;Tarulevicz and Ooi, 2021), and environmental sciences (Tang, Wu, Zheng, & Lyu, 2018). In addition to the general issues of tourism safety and security, a significant part of the research focuses particularly on recreation safety (Wu, 2015;Karvunis & Kapilevich, 2017;Cheng, Chen, Hong & Chen, 2022), managing tourism safety and risk (Coxon, Dimmock & Wilks, 2007;Kasum, Žanić Mikuličić & Kolić, 2018;Hamm & Su, 2021), food security (Pirani & Arafat, 2016;Addinsall, Weiler, Scherrer & Glencross, 2017;Huang & Tsai, 2021), environmental security (Irene, aet al, 2010;Hall, 2013;Casares Blanco, Fernández-Aracil & Ortuño-Padilla, 2019), tourism ecological security (Xu, Liu, Li & Zhong, 2017;Tang, Wu, Zheng, Lyu, 2018;Yang, Jia, Wang & Zhang, 2021), tourists' safety perception (Wang, 2014;Peters & Papathanassis, 2019;Zou &Meng, 2020;Wang, Tarin, Liu, & Zhengf, 2022), impact of terrorism on safety (Chen & Noriega, 2004;Korstanje, 2017;Asongu & Nwachukwu, 2019;Agarwal, Page & Mawby, 2021), corporate security in tourism (Repnik & Antošová, 2021), and community safety (Cheng, Fang & Yin, 2022;Yamada, Heo, King & Fu, 2011).…”

Safety and security are among the most basic needs in life and are essential in tourism as in other research areas; thus, researchers need to focus on the topic. Since the 1970s, when the first scientific paper on tourism safety was published, the number of research in this field has significantly increased. This study aims to carry out a bibliometric analysis on tourism safety and security research conducted over the past forty-five years. The literature on the subject includes 597 studies obtained from the Scopus database. VOSviewer scientific mapping software programme was used to perform the analysis. The software covers keywords of tourism safety and security topics, influential authors, publications, journals, and countries and identifies several techniques such as co-citation, concept association, and bibliographic coupling. The rapid increase in the number of research and citations shows that the topic of tourism safety and security has drawn the attention of researchers in the last 12 years. The analysis results revealed that the study with the strongest link with other publications is “Tourist's perceptions of safety and security while visiting Cape Town”. The researcher who contributed the most to the field with the author citation is Michael C. Hall; the journal making the most substantial impact is Tourism Management. Finally, the most productive country is United States of America. The current study contributes to expanding the literature on tourism safety and security and offers an overview for further research in this field.

This study examines customers' willingness to pay a premium to support hotels' water-saving initiatives and the effect of different explanatory variables: attitude toward water conservation, water problem awareness, willingness to sacrifice, reported water-saving behavior, and frugality. A Heckit model is applied to a sample of 681 tourists. Results show that 44.3% of tourists would pay a premium to stay in a hotel that had installed water-saving devices in rooms.The average price premium they would pay is 4.29 euros. These findings offer interesting insights for hotel managers to identify tourists who could contribute to reducing the costs of going green.
