“…In Ibiza and Formentera, family tourism is also one of the most important segments, but on these islands it coexists with a large number of tourists attracted by nightlife (Berrozpe, Campo & Yagüe, 2017: 10402019: 246). In general, it has been proven that family tourism tends to hire the most complete stay regimes, such as HB and especially AI (Alegre & Sard, 2015;García, Juaneda, Raya & Sastre, 2015;Jacobsen, Skogheims & Dann, 2015). In line with these trends, the HB and AI regimes have been separated from three and four star hotels and three star apartments have been added to separate establishments focused on family tourism.…”

The pandemic caused by Covid-19 has severely affected the tourism industry, but it has not equally affected all its segments or all the geographical spaces where it is carried out. Our objective is to determine whether it has caused structural changes in one of the major sun and beach tourist destinations in the Mediterranean: the islands of Ibiza and Formentera. To answer this question, we analyse the evolution of the prices offered by the different types of tourist accommodation on these islands in 2019, 2020 and 2021. This analysis shows that tourism practically disappeared on these islands in 2020, but when it partially recovered, in 2021, it did so with the same characteristics that existed before the pandemic.

“…Such a tourism-induced phenomenon led to mini-construction booms of second homes and summer vacation homes purchased by national and foreign vacationers at those touristic spots with a highly impactful presence on the waterfronts of cities and suburbs [123]. The emergence of "black markets" with private property owners renting rooms and apartments during the busy holiday season has developed in multiple places over the years [124]. The peak demands on infrastructure (e.g., water and sewer systems), traffic, and parking add up to the more permanent destruction of sensitive ecosystems due to land reclamation and artificialization of fragile natural ecosystems and nearby estuary and harbor areas.…”

Improving, strengthening, and fine tuning, as well as developing, revitalizing, conserving, and preserving, are all words commonly used in an urban and regional planner’s vocabulary. More nebulous are the concepts of it, thyself, which are the other in planning thinking and professional interventions. Who, what, how, when, and where will it be carried out? If conscious and aware of one’s actions, oneself ought to be able to answer these questions without deference to its outcomes. However, it is commonly recognized that we are unable, and at times unwilling, to understand others’ reaction to a proposal, even when put forward according to established common norms and traditions and socio-economic, environmental, cultural, and legal orders. The purpose of this paper is to review various planning challenges derived from earlier lived and or researched experiences that have already occurred, others taking place here and now, as well as others in need of further conceptualization and study. The review methods build not only upon the now classical sustainability framework, but also upon the more recent and alternative Soft City approach centered on place, movement, and sociability. It is believed that the planning topics and methods analyzed in this review can help reach carbon neutrality goals, promote climate urbanism, accomplish higher utilization of renewable energy, and reduce automobility levels, all goals conducive to graceful bliss and authentic happiness.

“…The most significant limitation of island tourism development is its basic conditions, such as location, transportation, water, and electricity. The main purposes of tourism are vacationing and sightseeing [37][38][39], so this model evaluates island tourism value from three aspects: basic conditions, sightseeing resources, and vacation resources. The evaluation indexes of various aspects were determined based on referring to previous evaluation methods of island tourism [19,[40][41][42] and discussions with experts.…”

Although island tourism is vital to the economy of developing countries, many islands with great potential for tourism development do not plan for it adequately. The objective of this paper is to establish an island tourism value mining and promotion model from the tourist perspective by selecting the status value indicators of basic conditions, vacation tourism resources, and sightseeing tourism resources, as well as the promotion indicators of five types of recreational fisheries, including beach activities, recreational fishing, marine sports, rock climbing, and sightseeing platforms. Then, we evaluate the whole island and develop suitable areas by using an analytic hierarchy process. This study took Tianheng Island as an example and divided the study area into grids and land use types. The results indicate that the basic conditions and tourism resources of Tianheng Island are in a general level, and the vacation tourism resources are in high quality, while there is further room to improve them. We identified that the island has four areas which are suitable for scenic development, two sandy beaches, two recreation fishing areas, one marine sports area, and one island rock climbing area. Our findings are consistent with the actual situation in Tianheng Island, demonstrating that the model is practical and can provide an essential reference for the scientific protection and utilization of island tourism resources.
