“…the variables implicit in this sub-dimension are divided into seven main factors/components as shown in Table 3. which corroborates the importance also attributed to them by various authors (e.g., [26,27,30,31,[37][38][39]). These authors concluded that it is necessary to continue to recreate the crucial role played by culture in cities' attractiveness and their economy.…”

This study aims to identify the indicators/indices for measuring current cities’ creative performance and the individual weight of each in that performance. To do so, a review and compilation of theoretical and empirical indices already developed was undertaken, showing culture, the creative economy, and a favourable environment as inseparable sub-dimensions of creativity. This compilation allowed the construction of a Composite Index for Creativity, using a quantitative methodology, which revealed 17 factors determining cities’ creative performance, for the evaluation of performance in the Portuguese context, which allows monitoring the degree of implementation of some of the targets of the 2020 Strategy. The results illustrate that Portugal follows the European tendency of including creativity in its strategies as an economic factor determining growth. With scientific rigour and quality, the weights of each sub-dimension studied in the Composite Index were determined, this being the study’s main contribution. Other implications for theory and practice and an agenda for future research are also presented.

“…However, creativity is consolidated by crucial determinants/sub-dimensions, which are culture (e.g., [26][27][28]), the creative economy (e.g., [29][30][31][32][33]), and a favourable environment (e.g., [26,27,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39]).…”

“…Overall, it is noticeable that creativity on tourism is concerned with bringing innovation to this setting (Boonpienpon, Maneenetr, Siriwong & Kovathanakul, 2015;Cruz, 2014;Greenwood, & Dwyer, 2017;Richards, 2014;Robbins, & Devitt, 2017) and thus attracting visitors. The idea of developing and promoting 'creative cities' to bring visitors is also focused by different studies (Durmaz, Platt, & Yigitcanlar, 2010;Greenwood, & Dwyer, 2017;Richards, 2014). It looks that creativity is being used as a background for tourism development, one of the ways of expressing a creative tourism according to Virfinija (2016).…”

Purpose -Optimism, creativity, and spirituality are important variables in Positive Psychology that can lead to better lives. The authors believe these are also fundamental concepts that can bring a new understanding of the tourism experiences, particularly in the current trend of the 'experience economy'. The study aimed to explore optimism, creativity, and spirituality from a Positive Psychology perspective on tourism settings to deepen the understanding of the state of the art and develop ideas for improvement of tourism research experiences Design -An extensive systematic literature review was developed anchored on PRISMA (2009) guidelines. The search engine Online Knowledge Library (B-On) was used and the search terms 'Optimism', 'Creativity' and 'Spirituality' crossed individually with 'Tourism', 'Travel' and 'Visitor'. In-depth analysis considering the chosen inclusion/exclusion criteria were undertaken concluding with a sample of 31 references. Findings -Overall, results showed a lack of optimism studies on tourism, leading to an urgent need to endeavor in the challenge of developing research. Creativity in tourism is mainly used as a background for the place and its culture and considers organizational, structural and product innovation development. Further, tourism can be seen as a spiritual activity seeking personal enrichment and fulfillment. Originality of the research -This study considers three variables not usually applied to tourism contexts as is clear by the low number of references found. The application of these and consequently of Positive Psychology on tourism is per se new, allowing the emergence of novel and important discussions on tourism.

on the evolution of the research, identifying the researchers or groups working on this subject, the disciplines from which it is studied and the means, through which the results are disseminated. In addition, a bibliographic analysis of the content of the identified studies is carried out, to know the results achieved as well as the methodology used in the investigations. The bibliographic material to be analyzed is obtained using a methodology of tracking in the international databases Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus. The results, collected in a database, are made up of a small number of investigations, focused mostly on the study of relevant cases of success due to the effects of diversification of the economy, or the development of capacities that have enabled to create a different tourist potential and with identity to attract tourists in these areas.
