We propose then a few reflect things about the person, his main ideas and, above all, about the importance of his work prematurely interrupted, whose contribution to the debate on tourism will continue well beyond his death. Rachid Amirou was born in January 1956 in Dr...

Spanish and Portuguese MICE Tourists' Profile

This market has grown significantly in the last years and is expected to maintain, or even increase, such growth rates in the short range. Moreover, congress tourists consume complementary activities, as well as accommodations services, within the destination, which make them a very profitable segment. For these reasons, many cities are including this market in their promotional strategies. To illustrate this scenario, the chapter presents an analysis of Portuguese and Spanish congress tourists' profile. Results corroborate that congress attendees do some sightseeing, visit local cultural attractions, and taste local cuisine while in the destination. In other words, their consumption goes beyond the participation in the congress per se, and consequently, their average daily expenditure is significantly higher than that of the average tourist.

Food tourism destinations’ imagery processing model

However, there is still much to be explored within this topic, especially concerning DY processing. More specifically, the way external stimuli are processed in tourists’ memory is still unexplored. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to examine how DY is processed in individuals’ memories upon the reception of verbal stimuli related to food tourism destinations. Design/methodology/approach Through an online multilingual survey, imagery elements associated with European and Asian tourists’ favourite food tourism destinations were collected. Through a categorical content analysis, tourists’ perceptions were classified within Echtner and Ritchie’s (1993) tri-dimensional model’s dimensions. Results were examined against previous theories on DY. Moreover, a comparative analysis between th...

The research focuses on two highly desirable, but contrasting, destination brand categories: Favourite Destination, which involves retrospective memory of positive experiences in situ; and Dream Destination, based on tourists' prospective memory. Through an online multilingual survey, 23,446 responses consisting of perceptions, evoked by way of freerecall, associated to Dream and Favourite Destinations, were collected. Findings point to clear structural differences between the imagery of Dream and Favourite Destinations. Additionally, a theoretical destination imagery model that offers a basis for future studies is proposed, and some managerial implications of significant relevance to destination marketing are discussed. Consequently, places with stronger brands and more positive images are more likely to be chosen by tourists (

Residents’ perceptions of tourism and their implications for policy development: evidence from rural Poland

This article reports the results of a study that is both methodologically and contextually novel. It uses the Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detection (CHAID) method, which is usually associated with other fields, most notably consumer marketing, to examine residents' perceptions of tourism development in rural Poland. It contributes to the literature by revealing the need to segment residents appropriately and highlights which constituencies in rural communities are most likely to be positively (and negatively) disposed toward tourism. This creates opportunities for more nuanced policy interventions.

How can brand equity for tourism destinations be used to preview tourists destination choice

However, it would be even more useful if it could be integrated into a wider methodological approach articulating destination brand assessment with the destination choice process. This paper describes a new research programme – Favourite Destinations Worldwide – that includes three interrelated innovative tools: (1) the destination brand choice model that allows a better conceptualization of CBBE-TD in the context of destination choice; (2) the Tower of Babel platform, a multilingual online survey for data gathering, to assess CBBE-TD of all destinations competing in the world market; and (3) the Destination Brand Gnosis, a propriety software for qualitative data analysis, transforming the meta-data into a system for constantly evaluating brand attractiveness. Additionally, for illustrative purposes empirical data from two national samples is presented: Portuguese (N = 524) and Brazilian (N = 955). Besides presenting the preferred destination brands for Brazilian and Portuguese tourists, the results confirm a basic assumption supporting this research program related to the geographic polarization of the most valued destination brands: " dream destination brands " correspond to destinations located farther from respondents' home-places, in other continents, requiring long-haul air travel, while " favourite destination brands " are predominantly destinations located nearer, in respondents' own countries or neighbouring countries. Resumo: O constructo " customer-based brand equity " de destinos turísticos (CBBE-TD) é útil na avaliação da eficácia das marcas de destinos turísticos. Mas seria ainda mais útil se fosse integrado numa abordagem ampla que articulasse a avaliação das marcas de destino com o processo de escolha de destinos. Este artigo descreve um novo programa de pesquisa-Favorite Destinations Worldwide-que inclui três ferramentas inovadoras inter-relacionadas: (1) o destination choice model que transpõe o CBBE-TD para o contexto da escolha de destinos; (2) a plataforma Tower of Babel, um inquérito online multilingue para avaliação do CBBE-TD de todos os destinos existentes no mercado mundial; e (3) o Destination Brand Gnosis, um software de análise de dados qualitativos que transforma meta-dados num sistema de monitorização da atratividade de marcas. Para ilustrar os propósitos desta abordagem empírica, são apresentados os resultados da amostra portuguesa (N = 524) e da brasileira (N = 955). Além de serem elencadas as marcas de destino preferidas dos brasileiros e portugueses, os resultados confirmam um pressuposto básico subjacente a este programa de investigação, que consiste na polarização geográfica das marcas de destino mais valiosas: as marcas de destino de sonho correspondem a destinos localizados longe da área de residência, noutros continentes, que exigem viagens aéreas de longo curso; já as marcas de destinos favoritos remetem para locais mais próximos, nos países de residência ou em países vizinhos. Palavras Chave: Valor da marca, escolha de destinos, destinos de sonho, destinos favoritos.

Between dreams and sweet memories: the imagery of dream and favourite destinations

impressions in large audiences. Concomitantly, as people are steeped in sensory information about tourist destinations, it is important to understand how those stimuli act in the potential tourists' minds. The present study aims to analyse the contents of tourist imagery related to two highly desirable but contrasting destination categories: Dream destinations and Favourite destinations. The former category refers the places that one never visited but desires to visit in the future; while the later concerns those locations one already visited and liked the most and, hence, deserve to be recommended. Adopting the grounded theory approach, an online multilingual survey was carried out at worldwide level. The empirical material consisted of a mega-data comprising 23,446 responses that correspond to 70,338 words spontaneously associated by respondents to their Dream and Favourite destinations. The data analysis, performed with the software QSR NVivo 11 pro, was based on the Echtner and Ritchie’s (1991) framework, and included the following a hierarchy of nodes: psychological holistic, functional holistic, psychological attributes, functional attributes and unique. Results reinforce the most recent theories about the structure of destination imagery, as well as show clear structural differences between the imagery of Dream destinations and of Favourite destinations. Additionally, a theoretical model that offers a basis for future studies was proposed, and some managerial implications of significant relevance to destination marketing were discussed.
