“…Ramires et al [40] looked into two aspects of the destination itself to segment the tourists-culture and leisure, and economic value. Serrano-López et al [41] defined two tourist segments-backpacker and cultural. For their part, Castañeda-García et al [42] established four segments of national tourists according to their spending at the destination.…”
The aim of the present research was to present the typologies of foreign tourists in the city of Granada, Spain, based on their emotional perception and interest in culture using different fieldwork methods. The main obtained results determine four segments of tourists: cultural, alternative, heritage, and emotional. The results also show that, in addition to cultural reasons, tourists presented other types of attractions that encouraged them to visit the city. Regarding the satisfaction variable, the obtained results show that satisfaction increased when cultural reasons had a strong influence on the tourists’ choice of destination. This research contributes to identifying the characteristics of the different visitor segments, with the aim of designing tourist and cultural products that can more efficiently satisfy their needs. This will have a positive impact on the economic development of the city of Granada with an increase in tourist spending, which will lead to an increase in employment and urban development.

“…9 ). The backpacker’s number was also higher in the study of the heritage City of Cuenca, Ecuador (Serrano López et al, 2019 ). This pattern was also observed in visitors at Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh, where 83.5% out of 200 respondents were students (Alarape et al, 2015 ).…”

“…In 2017, the percentage of tourists in the 31–45 age group was 30.7%, and that of the 46–60 age group was 25.9% (MoCTCA, 2019 ). In Yiren Town of China (Yang, 2019 ), the city of Cuenca, Ecuador (Serrano López et al, 2019 ), Korea (Elomba & Yun, 2018 ), and India (Verma & Chandra, 2018 ), there were a higher number of younger adult tourists.

This study was conducted with an aim to assess the status of ecotourism in terms of tourism demand, tourist characteristics, and strength, weakness, opportunity, and threat (SWOT) analysis. For this, the study was conducted in Bhadaure-Tamagi village of the Panchase Protected Forest Area of Gandaki Province, which was planned to be developed as an important tourist destination for tourists visiting Pokhara because of its cultural and natural importance. Mixed-method research approach was implemented in this research for data collection and analysis. One hundred and twenty-two tourism stakeholders (30 hoteliers, 40 homestay owners, and 52 tourists) were surveyed for quantitative data collection and analysis along with seven key informant interviews (KII) for qualitative data collection and analysis. It was observed that the current demand for accommodation facilities in the Bhadaure-Tamagi village was 23,390 bed nights per annum. The tourism demand in terms of tourism revenues estimated through this study amounted to a total of US$10,763.67 per year. The occupancy rate of accommodation facilities at Bhadaure-Tamagi village was a mere 20%, which is well below the national and international average. Despite outstanding ecotourism opportunities and a necessary regulatory framework in place, the SWOT analysis revealed that the tourism sector development is not satisfactory. In the current situation, Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) had adversely affected the ecotourism in the area. So, tourism promotional activities need to be focused by following appropriate health, hygiene, and safety measures.
“…Due to the scarcity of similar studies in both the city and the country, this position is of particular interest. On the contrary, there is a predominance of historicist [11,12], urban [13][14][15], architectural [16,17], anthropological [18,19], archaeological [20], mobility [21,22], participatory management [23,24], heritage management and public policy [25][26][27], and tourism [28][29][30] studies. In addition, studies related to the right to the city [31,32] have gained relevance in challenging the notion of the historic city.…”
Urban architectural heritage and its social manifestations are immersed in dynamics beyond their origin and conservation vision. Contemporary society reinterprets, reconfigures and resignifies it according to its own logics of empowerment. In this context, this article addresses the case of a bridge in the Historic Center of Cuenca (Ecuador) known by the names of Mariano Moreno Bridge, La Escalinata Bridge or Vivas Nos Queremos Bridge. It describes its patrimonial situation in terms of its values and its relationship with gender. Because of its social implications, this study is divided into two parts: a bibliographic analysis of the historical evolution of the monument, followed by a discussion of its heritage status, and the presentation of the design, validation and application of a qualitative tool to determine the values associated with the property. This tool is used in a focus group of actors to analyze the feminist activism developed on the bridge between 2020 and 2022. This research shows how cultural heritage can be known, valued and used from an inclusive perspective and how public space can be subject to processes of resignification. This bridge became a non-place, a forgotten and a meaningless site. However, due to the struggle for the vindication of women’s rights and freedom of expression, it has taken on a new meaning, becoming an integral part of the contemporary collective imaginary, regardless of its uncertain nomenclature.
