“…As Pulido-Fernández [112] (p. 260) highlights, "sustainability cannot be covered exclusively from a supply perspective. On the contrary, tourism demand-i.e., tourists-plays a key role in achieving sustainable tourism".…”

Abstract:The understanding of pro-sustainable behavior and its true economic implications is an important subject for tourism destination marketers and policymakers, especially given that limited research has focused on the economic implications of tourist preferences for more sustainable destinations. Following the identification of three different demand segments using the concept of "sustainable intelligence" (level of commitment, attitude, knowledge and/or behavior with regard to sustainability), this study hypothesizes that the tourist segment with high level of "sustainable intelligence" (called "pro-sustainable tourist") is willing to pay more to visit a more sustainable destination. The main aim of this paper is to use the logistic regression model to estimate the premium price that each segment is willing to pay to visit a sustainable destination. This paper reports the result of a willingness to pay study using data from 1118 respondents visiting the Western Costa del Sol (Andalusia, Spain), a mature sun-and-sand destination that is currently facing several developmental challenges supposedly associated with sustainability. The results obtained from this research study indicate that the tourist segment with high levels of "sustainable intelligence" is willing to pay more to visit a more sustainable tourism destination. However, there is little willingness to pay if the destination's commitment to sustainability increases the price of the tourism product (26.6% of respondents).

“…Entender la sostenibilidad desde una sola mirada, no es posible, hay que estudiarla desde dos corrientes del pensamiento: Sostenibilidad fuerte, cuyo enfoque es ecocentrista; y débil, cuyo enfoque es tecnocéntrico. "La sostenibilidad sigue siendo un objetivo vital a largo plazo, y para alcanzarlo es necesario enverdecer la economía" (Pulido-Fernández, 2015).…”

El trabajo tiene como objetivo principal esbozar los orígenes de la sostenibilidad desde sus tres dimensiones, toda vez que nos permite instaurar nuevos retos a las prácticas de gestión dentro de una actividad turística sostenible y responsable, lo cual genera conciencia y visibilidad a fin de maximizar los beneficios de la actividad turística al interior de los entornos empresariales, ambientales y socioculturales. Con el propósito de medir el alcance del estudio y sus repercusiones, nos cuestionamos: ¿Es posible lograr que el sector sea sostenible y contribuya así al desarrollo económico, el empleo y la reducción de la pobreza sin destruir la cultura y dañar el medio ambiente? En ese sentido, sabemos que el turismo es una actividad en permanente evolución y cuyos procedimientos básicos en torno a la sostenibilidad nos conducen a reflexionar sobre métodos propicios que nos permitan entender a la sostenibilidad como un factor clave para el presente y futuro del desarrollo de la actividad turística, sin embargo hay que tener en consideración un fenómeno que puede traer conflictos a la hora de llevar a cabo la operación turística, se trata de la masificación de los destinos. Por ello, dentro de los principales resultados y conclusiones, podemos mencionar que la sostenibilidad puede tener un objetivo vital a largo plazo, no obstante, a la sostenibilidad hay que verla a partir de dos vertientes: una fuerte y otra débil; entendiendo a la Sostenibilidad Fuerte cuyo enfoque es ecocentrista y Débil cuyo enfoque es tecnocentrista.

“…Frequently used to identify key groups within very specific contexts, it has proved very popular in identifying these, especially in the context of tourism's environmental impact [25][26][27]. Conceptualizing and identifying the large groups of tourism actors operating in the field of cultural tourism is fundamental [28].…”

Increased competition in tourist destinations and the recent economic crisis directly affect various institutions that manage cultural heritage. In the case of museums, we may need to reflect more on the challenges that stem from the new financial and social situation for their management. The long-term analysis of relationships with stakeholders is a more reliable way of achieving stability to counteract the effects of income reduction. This study involved conducting interviews with directors of four museums, one for each existing management model, contrasting with direct observation and unstructured interviews conducted in Gran Canaria, Canary Islands (Spain). The data obtained were analyzed with UCINET (a software package for analyzing social network data), to determine relationship indicators. The research suggests that stakeholder networks, as a competitive advantage in cultural institutions, play an important role in creating or improving cultural heritage products, as well as helping to develop responsible tourism.
