“…This is somewhat different than what happened in parts of Europe (e.g., Germany) where tourists traveled closer, shorter, and cheaper ( Reinhardt, 2011 ). This also contradicts Rittchainuwat et al. (2014) conclusions that tourists seek short-distance destinations during a financial crisis (at least in terms of driving distance).…”

“…The impact of the macro-economic event on tourism was also felt all around the world because the purchasing power of people significantly influences their decisions to travel (Mihali c et al, 2013). Rittchainuwat et al (2014) found that novelty, culture and safe and short-distance destinations would motivate tourists to travel during the financial crises because it saves time, effort, and travel costs. Within Europe, a contraction of travel in time and space was reported.…”

Research on recreational use market segments and trends are essential for determining how tourism businesses can better meet the needs of their customers and find new target markets especially during challenging times. The purpose of this study was to determine how recreation participation has changed over five years on the Monongahela National Forest following the world financial crisis of 2008–2009. Data used for this research were collected with the National Visitor Use Monitoring (NVUM) surveys for fiscal years 2009 and 2014. NVUM surveys are on-site interviews conducted at the end of a visit. The surveys produce descriptive information about visitors. NVUM uses a stratified random sampling methodology to collect data for each use level (e.g., low, medium, high, or very high) and site type (e.g., Day Use Developed Sites, Overnight Use Developed Sites, General Forest Areas, and Wilderness Sites). Data were collected during a 12-month period and a total of 1,851 interviews were completed. Two step cluster analysis of 18 activity participation variables (binary data) was conducted with 5 clusters specified. The clusters include Relaxing in Nature Package, Backpacking and Hiking Package, Viewing Nature and Hunting Package, Picnicking Package, and Purely Fishing, and they were compared with an activity package typology. Changes in demographics, trip spending, nights away from home, and overall satisfaction were examined for each market segment. Potential market winners and losers during the financial crisis were identified helping tourism providers develop more efficient strategies.

“…Thus, it is known that TM is a significant construct in tourism which can contribute to the conduct and behaviour of travellers (Jeong, 2014; Peter and Anandkumar, 2015). Rittichainuwat et al. (2014) in their study regarding TMs during financial crisis revealed that although discounts are usually a major travel motivation, they do not motivate travellers to travel during financial crises.…”

Few researchers have examined travellers' experience with destinations despite the importance of their attitudes, behaviour and perception in selecting destinations. Current study aims to examine the relationship between risk perceptions, motivation, information source, travel experience and destination image among experienced international business travellers in Iran. The total number of 234 valid questionnaires was collected from international business travellers and structural equation modelling was employed using partial least squares path-modelling analysis to assess measurement and structural model for reflective constructs. Our empirical results support the negative relationship between destination image and risk perception, travel experience and risk perception while information sources were found to be unrelated to travellers risk perceptions. The results further shown that information sources and destination image, information sources and motivation, motivation and travel experience and destination image are related. However, the partial least squares-multigroup analysis results reveal that the significance of path coefficients differs across various demographic subgroups. Moreover, our results support experience and risk perception as a second-order reflective construct. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed along with a discussion on research limitations.

“…Η επίδραση της κληρονομιάς του παρελθόντος, κάποιες φορές, είναι πολύ ισχυρή αφού έχει διαπιστωθεί ότι παρακινεί ανθρώπους να μετακινούνται και εν μέσω κρίσης. Αυτό δεν αποτελεί έκπληξη για την περίπτωση κάποιων κατοίκων της Ταϋλάνδης για παράδειγμα, που καταφεύγουν σε ναούς για πνευματική υποστήριξη (Rittichainuwat et al, 2014). Ωστόσο, η πρωτεύουσα έλξη που νιώθουν οι τουρίστες κληρονομιάς από ένα μνημείο είναι κάτι βαθύτερο και αυτό είναι η ερμηνεία με ό,τι αυτή συνεπάγεται και η ερμηνεία είναι πάνω απ' όλα επικοινωνία (Καραβασίλη και Μικελάκης, 1999) ακόμα και με το παρελθόν, νοητική και ψυχική.…”

Η πολιτιστική κληρονομιά αποτελεί βασικό συστατικό στοιχείο του πολιτιστικού τουρισμού και η σωστή διαχείριση και προβολή της είναι σε θέση να επιφέρει αλλαγές στην πολιτιστική ανάπτυξη, την κοινωνική ανάπτυξη όπως επίσης και στη βελτίωση της ποιότητας του υπάρχοντος δομημένου περιβάλλοντος. Αν και ο ρόλος του πολιτιστικού τουρισμού στην οικονομική ανάπτυξη μίας πόλης ή περιοχής αμφισβητείται, η αρμονική συνύπαρξη τους φαίνεται ότι προκρίνεται. Οι επιδράσεις του πολιτιστικού τουρισμού αντανακλώνται σε ολόκληρα τα κοινωνικά στρώματα με τη συμμετοχή των κατοίκων στην ανάδειξη της πολιτιστικής τους κληρονομιάς να θεωρείται ως μία από τις σημαντικότερες σύγχρονες προκλήσεις. Κύριος στόχος της παρούσας έρευνας είναι η σύνθεση του μωσαϊκού της αντίληψης περί συμμετοχής στην ανάδειξη της πολιτιστικής κληρονομιάς στον Ελλαδικό χώρο.
