“…Cave tourists around the world are encountering an evolution and transformation in the context of tourism destinations. The focus of tourism now emphasises the issue of how interactions between tourism organisations can act as mechanisms for tourism destination management by themselves (Rindam, 2014). At present, one of the alternative directions of tourism development in Azerbaijan is related to speleotourism.…”

Tourism has a positive impact on many sectors of the world economy because it unequivocally affects the growth of life and economic activity of the local population, increasing the socio-economic indicators of the region, improving the road infrastructure, and necessitating infrastructural development. Tourism is growing and diversifying around the world, people are not only traveling to have fun, relax or spend their free time, but also because of their interest in alternative types of tourism. This approach requires the further development of regions rich in tourism and recreation resources, which, in turn, paves the way for sustainable development in the regional context. From a regional point of view, one of the important conditions for the development of tourism is the presence of unique natural monuments. One type of these natural monuments is caves, on the basis of which it is possible to develop speleotourism. Speleotourism is a complex type of tourism, the difficulty of which depends on limitations of natural light, high relative humidity, low air temperature, relief forms, and the degree of difficulty of routes. Speleotourism requires careful and trained hiking, as well as strength, endurance, agility, and the ability to use technical means of insurance. The article presents for the first time information on the classification of caves, states the importance of determining their status, and examines the caves in Azerbaijan which are distinguished by high values of speleotourism. In addition, the article examines the use of caves as shelters by primitive people and as sources of creation of legends and myths, their value as shrines and temples, as historical and cultural heritage, their use for sports and recreation purposes, as well as their use in enhancing the attractiveness of tourism. The authors prove the importance of using caves in Azerbaijan as a tourist product for the development of speleotourism, sites which are distinguished by their natural attractiveness, geological structure, historical past and archaeological finds, as well as convenient transport infrastructure. Scientific studies show that speleotourism is a promising tool for the development of regional tourism. The authors predict that in the future speleotourism in Azerbaijan will be an aspect of the country’s international tourism.

“…The most recent tourism surveys that use the SWOT analysis technique operate in different segments, such as luxury tourism (TEKKEN;KROPP, 2015), ecotourism (GHORBANI et al, 2015;LÓPEZ et al, 2015;CETIN et al, 2018), religious tourism (PEREIRA, 2017), sustainable tourism (TREMONT et al, 2015;BANOS-GONZÁLEZ et al, 2017;HUDELSON, 2014;JAAFAR et al, 2014), gastronomic tourism (LONDOÑO, 2015), medical tourism (WONG; VELASAMY; ARSHAD, 2014), and many others (RINDAM, 2014;QIAN, 2017;CHONG, 2015;CHARVANDEH, 2017;LOPEZ;BHAKTIKUL, 2018;ARSIC, 2018). These studies have been seeking out the development of strategic planning, from validating the feasibility of tourism in some areas to evaluating tourism structures.…”

A análise SWOT é uma ferramenta de análise do planejamento estratégico, que auxilia na identificação do ambiente interno (pontos fortes e fracos) e ambiente externo (oportunidades e ameaças), com o intuito de proporcionar a sobrevivência, manutenção, crescimento e desenvolvimento da empresa. Nesse contexto, o presente estudo objetivou analisar uma empresa pelo prisma de seus clientes, a partir da análise de SWOT. A empresa analisada foi uma escola de natação, tendo como público crianças e adultos. Na coleta dos dados foi aplicado aos clientes um questionário estruturado em: aspectos internos (atendimentos, aspectos físicos, piscinas e administrativo) e aspectos externos (outros itens). Realizou-se análise descritiva dos resultados e na sequência o teste de Wilcoxon para validação das hipóteses. Na visão dos usuários, a empresa tem mais pontos fortes do que fracos e, suas oportunidades são maiores do que as ameaças. O trabalho contribui por um olhar diferenciado da utilização da análise de SWOT. Palavras-chave: SWOT. Planejamento Estratégico. Turismo.

“…Data on cave visitation and outside cave climate was added to propose suitable management implications. Besides numerous environmental studies in show caves, cave tourism studies have been performed in other countries, including Korea (Kim et al 2008), Turkey (Akca et al 2016), Malaysia (Rindam 2014), New Zealand (Pavlovich 2003(Pavlovich , 2014, Brazil (Santos Lobo et al 2013), Spain (Lario and Soler 2010;Fernandez-Cortes et al 2011), United States (van Beynen and Townsend 2005), and Slovenia (Šebela et al 2015). An early study on effects of cave tourism on the climate for the Lehman Caves was presented by Stark in 1969.…”

Cave air temperature was measured at six locations in Lehman Caves (USA) for one year at hourly intervals. Lehman is a show cave in a national park, treasured for its geological and biological resources. The two monitoring locations that are off of the tour route and, also, relatively distant from the cave's entrances displayed nearly constant air temperature during the year. The other four sites, along the tour route, show daily temperature variation as well as annual fluctuation. After visitation levels decreased in the autumn, cave temperatures lagged but eventually reached an equilibrium which demonstrates recovery in the quiet winter. The mean annual air temperature inside the Lehman Caves is significantly higher than outside (1.9°C; 20%) which points to an anthropogenic impact. A first-order analysis indicates that anthropogenic energy consumption in the Lehman Caves-which contributes to temperature rise-is about evenly divided between lighting and human presence. The study demonstrates that cave lighting and visitation levels have important implications for responsible management of this geoheritage site.
