“…Divisekera (2016) indicates significant interdependencies between transport and tourism demand in Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom. (c) Activities are also attractive to tourists, and tourists choose interesting destinations with more recreational activities (Heagney et al, 2018; Reintinger et al, 2016). (d) Moreover, some researchers consider that shopping is the crucial factor of tourism demand (Divisekera, 2009; Gunadhi & Boey, 1986) or at least identify it as an important part of tourism (Divisekera, 2010).…”

Tourism research increasingly uses search query data to forecast demand, but the literature rarely explores the mechanisms of the factors influencing demand. A time-varying parameter factor vector auto-regression model is constructed based on Baidu Index on six aspects (dining, shopping, transportation, tours, attractions, and lodging) of tourism demand from January 2011 to March 2019. The model can quantitatively and comprehensively analyze the mechanisms of tourism demand and its six important influencing factors, and can provide suggestions for subsequent planning, construction, and services in the tourism industry. The empirical results show that the relationship between the six factors and domestic tourism demand is time-varying. Dining, attractions, and shopping have a driving effect on tourism demand, and are thus stimulative factors; transportation, tours, and lodging hinder the growth of tourism demand, and are thus baffle factors.

“…In order to inform financial decisions on the maintenance and development of recreational infrastructure, there is a growing need to valuate cultural ecosystem services from recreation at individual sites, such as protected areas [17]. First, land use decisions are typically made at this scale and need to be informed [18,19]. Second, although ecosystem services related to recreation can be delivered spatially across a wide landscape, within a matrix of diverse human social, political, and ecological interactions (e.g., [20][21][22][23]), studies looking at this large scale can only be useful in understanding the broader context.…”

Protected areas offer diverse ecosystem services, including cultural services related to recreation, which contribute manifold to human wellbeing and the economy. However, multiple pressures from other human activities often compromise ecosystem service delivery from protected areas. It is thus fundamental for effective management to understand the recreational values and visitor behaviors in such areas. This paper undertakes a rapid assessment of the economic value of cultural ecosystem services related to recreation in a national park in Myanmar using two valuation techniques, the individual travel cost method (TCM) and the Toolkit for Ecosystem Service Site-based Assessment (TESSA v.1.2). We focus on the Popa Mountain National Park, a protected area visited by approximately 800,000 domestic and 25,000 international tourists annually. Individual TCM estimates that each domestic visitor spent USD 20–24 per trip, and the total annual recreational value contributed by these visitors was estimated at USD 16.1–19.6 million (USD 916–1111 ha−1). TESSA estimated the annual recreational expenditure from domestic and international visitors at USD 15.1 million (USD 858 ha−1) and USD 5.04 million (USD 286 ha−1), respectively. Both methods may be employed as practical approaches to assess the recreational values of protected areas (and other land uses with recreational value), and they have rather complementary approaches. We recommend that both techniques be combined into a single survey protocol.

“…In future research, the trade-offs between planning policies and actions identified through differences in the provision of categories of ESs should be qualified in terms of losses and gains in the supply of land uses rather than of land covers, since the intensity of management and the production of wealth can only be identified through land uses, which CORINE-like spatial taxonomies do not capture. Another relevant issue that needs to be addressed is the relationship between planning policies and measures and the resulting visual landscape, which plays an important role in shaping the attractiveness of spatial contexts [44][45][46][47].…”

In 2008, the Council of the European Union adopted the “Protocol on Integrated Coastal Zone Management” (ICZM Protocol), then ratified by Decision No. 2010/631/EU. The ICZM Protocol defines integrated coastal zone management as a dynamic and flexible process that accounts for the relations between coastal ecosystems and landscape as well as the activities and the uses that characterize coastal areas. Integrated management of coastal zones is still a critical process in terms of translating theory into practice. In this theoretical framework, strategic environmental assessment (SEA) helps to improve decision-making processes related to coastal spatial planning by integrating development goals and sustainability criteria. This study proposes a methodological approach concerning ICZM-based decision-making processes at the local level. The methodology is implemented in relation to three case studies concerning three towns located in southwest Sardinia. The results show a general consistency between the analyzed plans in terms of objectives and themes. Three specific issues are particularly relevant in terms of integration of economic and social objectives and sustainability goals, that is, relations between beach services and coastal ecosystems, protection of coastal ecosystems, and accessibility to the coastal zones.
