“…However, responses from males seemed to be lower than of the females'. Parking space would affect tourists' desire to return to the destinations they have ever visited (Snider et al, 2015). Unfortunately, not much different from the previous two statements, the statement related to the adequate parking lots were also responded negatively by the respondents (see SEF15 in Table 4) since parking areas, for instance in Bukit Kubu, were not sufficient.…”

Self-efficacy in tourist destination can influence the tourists’ level of satisfaction which may depend on how much the destination has fulfilled their needs. This research aims at investigating the relationship between gender preference and self-efficacy in tourist destination in Karo regency. Female tourists are usually significantly different, in which male’s self-efficacy tend to be higher than female’s. This research used a qualitative and quantitative method to obtain the varieties of perception, such as accessibility, comfort, confidence, and safety. The result reveals self-efficacy isindeed different for local male and female visitors; however, the male and female tourists from abroad do not indicate significant difference. The level of self-efficacy (LSE) for females is not always lower than males and, even, the activities cannot limit the LSE for males and females. The tourists’ activities in the masculine category proved that the females’ SE is higher than males. However, the males’ SE proved to be higher than females are only found among local people; however, the tourists’s SE between males and females look the same. In the development of tourism which is based on the tourists’ SE, preference of gender does not need to be considered; however, if it is done on the basis locals’ SE, then the preference of gender is really needed.

Place identity is one of the necessary aspects to increase tourism. It can also improve someone's quality of life. This study aimed to find place identity on tourism development in Karo District, Indonesia, which can be used to create a tourism development program. This research used mix method by identified four elements: distinctiveness, continuity, self-esteem, and self-efficacy. The result shows that the strongest element of place identity was self-esteem and distinctiveness, while self-efficacy and continuity were weak. Furthermore, tourism in the area relatively goes well even though place identity elements were weak. However, the improvement to enhancing tourism is needed.

“…With the focus on the narrower market of beach visitors and issues related to coastal area management, previous studies analysing beach user perceptions of sustainable management have increased in the last decades in order to understand beach users' behaviour, needs and preferences, which is essential for market segmentation. Therefore, very often, researchers have combined variables of facilities, services and environmental aspects in the questionnaire, asking beach visitors how important it is for them to have beach facilities such as showers, toilets, litter bins, access for disabled people, parking, debris removal, clean seawater, clean beach, safety, aesthetics of landscape, crowdedness and sports activities (Lindsay et al, 1992;Roca & Villares, 2008;Santos et al, 2005;Smith et al, 1991;Snider et al, 2015;Williams & Nelson, 1997). These variables have been recognised as the most instrumental in assessing the local situation and developing strategies for sustainable management of local beaches and has proved helpful in avoiding the decline of the area as a tourism destination, which is vital for regions such as Algarve.…”

Recently coastal tourism has increased rapidly and has negatively affected environmental, social and cultural sustainability. The Algarve is the main sun-and-sea tourism destination in Portugal, with a large number of beautiful beaches. Due to negative tourism impacts and climate change, coastal tourism management tools need to be assessed and implemented. Most beach areas have the dual mandate of conserving coastal natural resources and providing opportunities for recreation and tourism. This paper aims to identify off-peak season beach users' profiles and to segment them according to their priorities for sustainable beach management in the face of climate change and seasonality balance. Four beaches with different types were chosen in the municipality of Albufeira as case studies: an urban, a rural, a resort and a remote beach. A cluster analysis was applied to data collected through a survey applied to 200 tourists through face-to-face interviews. The survey aimed to measure beach visitors' opinion about beach environment and services, as well as about the importance of 25 quality beach attributes. The cluster analyses generated three segments of beach users with the following profiles: comfort and food lovers, young and active environmentalists and sustainable minimalists. The results provide valuable information and insights for both academics and beach managers, who can adjust their management tasks to suit market segments and their preferences, fulfilling emerging environmental policies.
