“…As for the mechanism driving tourist flows, major factors affecting tourist flow include tourism resources (Smith, 2000;Liu et al, 2010); development level of the regional economy (Yang et al, 2011;Pearce,1995;Shi et al, 2007;Liu et al, 2010); service facilities for regional tourism, which include entertaining and shopping facilities, catering and accommodation (Lundgren,1984;Liu et al, 2010;Gearing, 1974); and regional traffic (Chew, 1987;Abeyratne, 1993;Prideaux, 2000). Moreover, the location of and options for closer destinations have effects on tourist flow as well (PaPatheodorou, 2004;Wu et al, 1997;Sun and Zhang, 2011). Among these factors, space distance and traffic accessibility are primary factors influencing the spatial structure of tourist flows (Chew, 2000;Abeyratne, 1993;Prideaux, 2000;Sun and Zhang, 2011).…”

“…Research on tourist flow investigates the interaction between tourist origins and destinations from the perspective of space, known as O-D Study in geography, focusing on two sides: a spatial model of tourist flow and its forming mechanism. A spatial model of tourist flow mainly contains a hierarchical model of tourist flow (Lundgren, 1984), a city tourist flow model (Pearce, 1955), tourist flow's core-edge space model (PaPatheodorou, 2004;Shi et al, 2007), tourist flow's circle and layer structure model (Zhong and Zhang, 2010), and so on. As for the mechanism driving tourist flows, major factors affecting tourist flow include tourism resources (Smith, 2000;Liu et al, 2010); development level of the regional economy (Yang et al, 2011;Pearce,1995;Shi et al, 2007;Liu et al, 2010); service facilities for regional tourism, which include entertaining and shopping facilities, catering and accommodation (Lundgren,1984;Liu et al, 2010;Gearing, 1974); and regional traffic (Chew, 1987;Abeyratne, 1993;Prideaux, 2000).…”

HSR mechanisms and effects on the spatial structure of regional tourism in China

et al. 2016

Chinese railway has entered the "HSR era", while the structure of "four vertical and four horizontal" railways for transit passengers is almost completed. Taking the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Rail (hereinafter referred to as HSR) as an example, this paper first explores HSR's effects on the spatial structure of regional tourist flows using the social network analysis. Next, it notes changes in the accessibility of regional transportation. After analyzing the factors including initial endowment of regional tourism resources, hospitality facilities, the density of the regional tourism transportation network, and locations, the paper discusses the mechanisms through which HSR affects regional tourist flows. The study shows the following: (1) HSR's effects on the spatial structure of regional tourist flows are manifested through the Matthew effect, the filtering effect, the diffusion effect and the overlying effect, and (2) the Matthew effect of HSR is manifested under an obvious interaction of the location, the initial endowment of tourism resources, hospitality capacity, tourist transportation network density and "time-space compression". The filtering effect of HSR is manifested for those tourism nodes without favorable location conditions, endowment of tourism resources, hospitality capacity, or tourist transportation network density and without obvious benefits from "time-space compression". Those tourism nodes that boast advantages in terms of location condition, endowment of tourism resources, hospitality capacity, tourist transportation network density and obvious "time-space compression" will become sources for the diffusion effect. HSR will strengthen the aggregation effects of tourist flow in these diffusion sources, which will thereafter diffuse to peripheral tourist areas, manifesting "aggregation-diffusion". HSR has overlapped tourists' spatial traveling range over large-scale spaces. However, the overlying effect is only generated in those tourism nodes with a favorable location condition, an endowment of tourism resources, hospitality capacity, tourist transportation network density, and obvious "time-space compression".

“…Sin embargo, el estudio en la relación GEE y turismo se ha centrado en el estudio de los procesos evolutivos en un contexto regional (Brouder y Eriksson, 2013;Ma & Hassink, 2013;Papatheodorou, 2004) pero no en los procesos de cambio técnico, organizacional o empresarial, como es el caso de la presente investigación.…”

Resumen: El artículo analiza las estrategias de selección y adaptación que conllevan a una diversificación turística por parte de las casas de huéspedes o Gasthof en la región del lago del Altmühlsee (Alemania), una región con una importante actividad turística que se ha visto amenazada resultado de la mala imagen generada por la prensa como consecuencia de la abundante presencia de algas tóxicas en sus lagos. Para lograrlo, se retoman elementos teóricos de la Geografía Económica Evolutiva (GEE) en un enfoque Darwinista, con el fin de entender los mecanismos que han permitido la emergencia de diversas estrategias de diversificación turística por parte de las casas de huéspedes (Gasthof) de la región que les permiten adaptar su oferta a pesar de las circunstancias.Palabras Clave: Diversificación Turística; Adaptación Y Selección Empresarial; Geografía Económica Evolutiva; Mala Imagen; Casas de Huéspedes. Bad image and business selection and adaptation strategies for touristic diversification: the case of guest houses or Gasthof at Altmühlsee (Germany)Abstract: The article analyzes business selection and adaptation strategies of Gasthof as a tourist accommodation at the lake known as Altmühlsee (Germany), a region with a significant tourist activity which has been threatened result of bad image by the local press as a consequence of the abundance of toxic blue algae in their lakes. To achieve it, takes up elements from evolutionary economic geography based on the Darwinian approach in order to understand the mechanisms that have allowed the emergence of the strategies by the local enterprises in the region which led them to adapt and diversify their tourism offer despite the circumstances.

“…Therefore, TBL should be part of the strategic scope of all organizations, including the accommodation establishments. Cruise ships, carrying guests from one destination to another (Dowling, 2006;Mendes & Silva, 2012;OMT, 2008;Tarlow, 2012), are considered travelling hotels (Agarwal, 2002;Papatheodorou, 2004;Walton, 2009) comparable to competitors such as resorts (Dowling, 2006;Fonseca, 2012;V. A. dos Santos, 2009).…”

Concerns for world peace, freedom, and the future of people and the planet have led to several United Nations Conferences, generating discussions on global sustainable development. These efforts resulted in the 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The proposed Goal 14 reflects the concern for the conservation and sustainable use of oceans, seas, and marine resources. In this context, the research objects of this study are ocean cruise ships and the main dimension surveyed is environmental sustainability. Firstly, the study sought to identify through the convergence of the dimensions of sustainability and cruises the contributions to the cruise industry that promote the SDGs. To this end, we carried out a bibliometric analysis of scientific production on cruise ship environment, narrowing the research focus on environmentally sustainable practices. The second research objective is to examine cruise companies’ strategic inclination to provide information on environmental initiatives to the market. The results show little scientific research focused on the convergence of the two topics studied, environmental sustainability and cruises. Only 12 scientific articles were identified. Regarding the information on environmentally sustainable practices, the findings show that only 22.6% of the 31 cruise companies surveyed provide this information on their corporate websites.
