“…Ryan (1998) states that tourism experiences are enhanced when tourists are placed in a realistic situation which could involve interaction with people. Such interaction becomes more meaningful when experienced with a diverse culture and tend to result as a travel motive which is also evident from the work of Richards (2002), Tung andRitchie (2011), Funk andBruun (2007) and Morgan and Xu (2009). To test this within the context of Thailand university students' interest in experiencing a new culture such as Maori Culture, following hypothesis is proposed: H1: the more the Thai students perceive experiencing new culture as an attraction to visit a destination, the higher their travel interest.…”

“…Understanding tourists' interest then proposing the travel activity helps to generate meaningful interest and experience to remember from that travel (Kim, 2014). How these measures impact the intention to travel draws upon the work of authors such as Morgan and Xu (2009), Bicikova (2014), Pearce and Lee (2005). Their studies highlight that seeking adventure, interest of new challenges in new destinations have an impact on students' intention to travel.…”

“…First, through direct effects of the holiday trip itself, wherein three phases can be distinguished: (1) pretrip (through anticipation), inter-trip (through experience) and post-trip (through afterglow). Second, tourism experiences may contribute to happiness in everyday life through more indirect mechanisms, such as reminiscing of holiday experiences through memories (Larsen 2007;Morgan and Xu 2009), enforced by physical objects such as photographs and souvenirs, mental storage through affections, impressions and new meanings, and enrichment through social networks (Aho 2001). Also, holidays may strengthen family bonds which in turn could increase satisfaction with family life.…”

Happiness Through Vacationing: Just a Temporary Boost or Long-Term Benefits?

Does vacationing add to our happiness in the long run? This question was addressed in a study of 3,650 Dutch citizens who reported their leisure travel every 3 months during 2 years and rated their happiness at the end of each year. Participants who had been on vacation appeared to be marginally happier, in terms of hedonic level of affect, than those who had not. This difference in Affect balance between vacationers and non-vacationers is probably due to a very minor causal effect of vacationing on hedonic level of affect. Possibly, vacationing is positively reminisced and these memories allow for the prevalence of more positive affect in people's lives. Happiness did not predict vacationing. The effect of holiday trips on vacationers' happiness is mostly short-lived; among vacationers, happiness was unrelated to the number of trips and days spent on vacation. A separate analysis of vacationers, who value vacationing most, yielded the same results. Implications for future research are discussed.

“…Algunos estudios empíricos desarrollados en el sector turístico (Ballantyne, Parker y Sutherland, 2011;Hosany y Witham, 2010;Kastenholz et al, 2012;Morgan y Xu, 2009) sugieren que la experiencia sensorial es muy relevante para obtener experiencias turísticas satisfactorias. Sin embargo, son pocos los estudios que analizan la experiencia sensorial en las áreas hasta ahora dedicadas al turismo de sol y playa y, menos aún, en referencia a las actividades de ocio cultural y gastronómico como recurso de turismo experiencial.…”

ResumenA medida que el modelo turístico tradicional comienza a saturarse, las Administraciones Públicas y la industria turística buscan alternativas que proporcionen una respuesta a una demanda cada vez más exigente y segmentada, que busca experiencias y vivencias en los destinos turísticos y una experiencia total que incluya ocio, cultura e interacción social. Los recursos sobre los que se sustenta el turismo están sufriendo una gran transformación ante las nuevas tendencias del mercado turístico en busca de nuevas experiencias en los destinos turísticos. En este contexto, el turismo gastronómico adquiere gran relevancia y los destinos con ofertas experienciales se posicionan como productos turísticos dentro del planteamiento promocional y turístico de los diferentes destinos. En los últimos años la gastronomía se ha convertido en un elemento indispensable para conocer la cultura y el modo de vida de un territorio al responder a valores clásicos que se asocian a las nuevas tendencias en el turismo: respeto a la cultura y la tradición, vida saludable, autenticidad, sostenibilidad y experiencia. El presente trabajo analiza cómo, desde el Grupo Desarrollo Pesquero Cádiz-Estrecho, se está diseñando y comercializando un producto turístico experiencial: La Ruta Milenaria del Atún. El proyecto da un paso más en la creación de productos turísticos relacionados con el mar y la pesca en la zona del litoral gaditano, planteando opciones de turismo alternativo que contribuyen a la desestacionalización, siguiendo los preceptos del turismo sostenible. El objetivo final de este trabajo es analizar las primeras fases de desarrollo de un nuevo producto en torno a "lo local" como estrategia de desestacionalización de una zona costera española, replicable a otras muchas zonas de la costa española con una alta estacionalidad. La Ruta Milenaria del Atún se basa en cuatro productos: Raíces (patrimonio/cultura), Sabores (gastronomía), Vida (patrimonio medioambiental) y Emociones (turismo activo). Como actividad de Turismo Pesquero, el proyecto supone la creación de un nuevo producto de turismo alternativo que responde a la creciente demanda de valores ambientales y tradiciones culturales de las zonas costeras. Para ello, se cuenta con una red de empresas que ofrecen actividades muy variadas dentro de un nuevo concepto de turismo multisectorial, sostenible y diferenciado del turismo tradicional de la región. El marco teórico del trabajo revisa las tendencias del sector turístico hacia el turismo experiencial y la metodología empleada en el estudio es básicamente cualitativa, ya que se ha recurrido a fuentes secundarias, ante todo a la información cualitativa que arrojan el portal de promoción turística de turismo de Cádiz y la Web de la Ruta Milenaria de Atún. Posteriormente, se ha recurrido a fuentes primarias de información, ya que se mantuvieron entrevistas con los responsables del Grupo de Desarrollo Pesquero Cádiz-El Estrecho, coordinador del proyecto, y con las asociaciones y los emprendedores adheridos al proyecto Ruta Milenari...
