“…Asturias also pioneered the development of rural tourism, opening the first rural hotel in Spain, 'The Rectory', in Taramundi, a small municipality in the interior of the region. The development of rural tourism in Spain has been characterized by two remarkable characteristics [6,22,[39][40][41][42][43]. The first one, as occurred in other European regions [20,[43][44][45], was the presence of the subsidies received from European Funds and Community initiatives such as LEADER (Liaison Entre Actions de Développement de l'Économie Rurale) or national programmes like PRODER (Rural Development Project), the goals of which were the socio-economic diversification of rural economies to stop the depopulation of rural areas and preserve the rural environment and rural heritage.…”

Rural Tourism Accommodation Prices by Land Use-Based Hedonic Approach: First Results from the Case Study of the Self-Catering Cottages in Asturias

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study analyses the impacts of environmental amenities associated with agricultural and silvicultural land use on the price of rural tourism accommodation in Asturias (Spain). A hedonic price model that relates the price of rural accommodation to environmental amenities as well as equipment, services offered, and the locational characteristics of the accommodation is estimated. The rural accommodations in the study are the self-catering cottages, the intrinsic features of which promote the development of rural tourism sustainability. Geographic information systems (GIS) data are used to measure the location and the proximity to amenities of these self-catering cottages. The main results indicate that agricultural land use has an important impact on the price of accommodation in self-catering cottages. Specifically, a high percentage of grassland in the municipality where the self-catering cottage is sited has a positive effect on rental prices, while a high percentage of arable crops has the opposite effect. The analysis is interesting for decision-making in the context of environmental policies, land use conflict resolution, and rural tourism sustainability.

“…For this reason, tourism management associated plans should not neglect the qualitative dimension in favor of the quantitative one, overcrowding a destination, which may cause the loss of its tourist attractiveness [32] (p. 69). The economy of rural areas is influenced by tourism activities [33]. Rural tourism and agritourism do not have the characteristics of mass tourism, but are able to bring income to people who implement such activities.…”

Abstract:In this paper we propose to highlight the tourism evolution and its intensity in the North-East region of Romania, compared to two regions with similar touristic potential from the Eastern European Union: Subcarpathia from Poland and Central Slovakia. We analysed if the EU attachment of Romania, Poland, and Slovakia had some effects on tourism development in the three regions mentioned. Issues arising from the analysis of the current situation of tourism will allow us to draw some sustainable development directions of tourism in the North-East region based on conserving and capitalizing the uniqueness of the area. We will consider the experience of the other two regions, trying to adapt them to the situation of the North-East region. Based on the analysis we have made, we consider that other countries can inspire us by authorities' initiatives in supporting tourism, good human resources training, entrepreneurship stimulation, and assistance in accessing financial resources, including EU ones.

Feminist Interventions: Southern Europe/Mediterranean

In Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Greece, the feminist perspective in geography appeared in the early 1980s as a result of the rise of the feminist movement and contact between the researchers and the production of knowledge in Europe and the United States. Since then, the production has been concentrated in specific research groups and universities working mainly on the experiences of women's daily life and gendered spaces in cities from a critical perspective. The cultural turn in social sciences has contributed to the increased scientific production and to diversifying the topics of analysis. Conscious of their peripheral position in the production of knowledge, feminist geography researchers have created a space for feminism in their contexts, though not without much internal resistance. Internationalization has been essential to legitimate gender and geography studies in Southern European academia.
