Sustainable tourism development and competitiveness: The systematic literature review

“…Talking about leisure, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the forms and ways of spending leisure is determined by a complex and closely interacted blend of different factors. However, the selection of the certain leisure activities and participation in it highly depends on the person and in particular on his/her age, gender and education (Araña, León, Carballo, & Moreno‐Gi, 2015; Dhiman, 2013; Liu, Yang, & Pu, 2015; Ok Luy & Lee, 2015). There are many ways of leisure spending, relevant to the people of different age and different character (Delespaul, Reis, & DeVries, 2004; Lanzendorf, 2002; Mokhtarian, Salomon, & Handy, 2004; Schlich, Schonfelder, Hanson, & Axhausen, 2004; Tschan, Semmer, & Inversin, 2004).…”

Explaining tourism expenditure based on trip characteristics in emerging urban-cultural destinations

“…On the one hand, managers should pay special attention to emerging urban-cultural destinations' online presence, as the use of the internet in trip planning was relatively low, despite tourists who use the internet also being most likely to have a higher average daily expenditure. It is necessary, therefore, to actively improve their online positioning, as these destinations have overlooked this new tourist reality (Liu et al, 2015).…”

“…In this sense, an analysis carried out at European level verified that the internet is the second most important source of information when researching a tourist destination; moreover, the internet is the preferred resource when organising a trip (Álvarez, 2016). However, some tourist destinations have overlooked this new reality and have not successfully taken advantage of this new information and promotion method to attract more tourists and, therefore, increase the economic impact of tourist activity (Liu et al, 2015). Furthermore, although the arrival of the internet has greatly impacted on the tourism sector and tourist behaviour, a phenomenon which will continue to gain ground over the coming years, we must recognise that there is a "digital rift" between tourists, based on environment, age, education and other variables (Álvarez, 2016).…”

ICT as a factor of destination competitiveness: The case of the republics of former Yugoslavia

“…The digital empowerment and the proliferation of smartphones have effectively merged tourists' network at home with the network at the destination (Fan et al, 2019). Generally, tourists use ICT and the Internet to speed up and enhance their travel-related information search and travel planning (Buhalis 2003;Pan & Fesenmaier, 2006;Kah et al, 2008), to compare prices and quality of tourism products and services at the destination, as well as to book and purchase tourism products and services (Ramos & Rodrigues, 2013;Liu et al, 2015). While latest generation websites provide tourists with an easy access and booking of services, the use of augmented and virtual reality, mobile apps supported by ubiquitous connectivity through Wi-Fi or 3/4G network, destination smart cards and wearables enable to construct a new personalized experience (Gajdošik, 2019).…”
