The COVID-19 pandemic changed social structures on multiple scales due to social and sanitary restrictions. Tourism, like other sectors, was broadly impacted, experiencing a dramatic reduction in travel. In response, individuals sought alternative ways to maintain physical activity, with outdoor activities gaining popularity, and cycling becoming increasingly widespread under these circumstances. This study aimed to analyze the profile of cyclists and cycle tourists in Santa Catarina within the post-pandemic context. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining both quantitative and qualitative data for a descriptive analysis. A self- administered questionnaire was applied for data collection and measurement, analyzed within a theoretical framework. The study involved 185 respondents residing in the state, with a near-equal distribution of men and women, and a predominance of higher education and income levels. The findings indicate that the pandemic significantly encouraged cycling as a means of leisure, recreation, and physical exercise. A significant proportion of respondents began cycling due to social restrictions and continued the activity post-pandemic. Cycle tourism was almost unanimously regarded as a key driver for developing tourist attractions, with the potential to attract visitors and generate income for local communities.

Hospitality is an essential component of tourism, particularly in the hotel industry, as it can significantly influence guest satisfaction with their accommodation experience. This study aims to identify the aspects that contribute to either a positive or negative guest experience, linking them to the practice of hospitality in the hotel industry in the post-pandemic context. The methodology employs a qualitative and exploratory approach. User-Generated Content (UGC) was collected from guest reviews of the top ten hotels in São Luís do Maranhão, according to the TripAdvisor platform, from August 2022 to January 2023, totaling 91 reviews. The data was processed and analyzed using Content Analysis techniques. The findings reinforce the importance of factors and dimensions related to guest experience and hospitality highlighted in previous studies, such as cleanliness and hygiene, customer service, physical infrastructure, comfort, food, warm reception, personalized relationships, safety, services and amenities, authenticity, fair pricing, and problem resolution. The behavior and attitudes of hotel staff were particularly prominent in both positive and negative reviews, emphasizing the importance of the host in hospitality interactions and the overall guest experience.

Entomophagy and entomophagy tourism have been gaining traction as a growing trend in various parts of the world. Although the concept may be relatively new in some regions, entomophagy has existed for many years and offers various benefits for farmers, local communities, and tourists alike. Entomophagy tourism involves a tourist visiting an area to learn about and experience insect-based foods in various forms such as tasting dishes or participating in insect harvesting and preparation. When implemented sustainably, entomophagy tourism can generate additional farmer income, create job opportunities, utilise more farm resources, and preserve natural and cultural heritage. This study aimed to explore and assess the potential of entomophagy tourism in the Mopani District, Limpopo Province, South Africa. This involved investigating the cultural, ecological, and economic dimensions of insect consumption in the region, specifically focusing on how entomophagy can be leveraged to promote tourism. Ultimately, the goal was to provide insights and recommendations that can contribute to the sustainable development of entomophagy tourism in the Mopani District, fostering cultural preservation and economic growth in the region.

With the increasing use of discourse analysis (DA) methodology in the humanitiesand social sciences, including tourism, there is a need to determine which subjects are necessaryto understand and elucidate their discourses. Tourism, as a multifaceted phenomenon, tends tohave a multitude of actors in its formulation and implementation, which tends to make researcheven more complex. This paper provides a bibliographical study to outline these themes, theirimportance in tourism and the circumstances of their discourses for an analysis of the proposedmethodology based on the three key DA concepts: power, ideology and hegemony. As a result,this paper identifies six major groups of players: state and government; tourism trade; tourists;local residents; academy and media. As an implication, it is hoped that this paper will contributeto the advancement of discourse analysis methodology in tourism, particularly in the field ofpublic policy.

This study aims to analyze the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) as a competitiveness factor by hotel companies located in Inhambane and Macaneta, Mozambique. This is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. For data collection, a semi-structured interview script was used, which was applied to ten hotel managers from Inhambane and Macaneta (five participants in each case). The data was analyzed using categorical content analysis. The results showed that the interviewees recognize the importance of technology for the hotel's competitiveness, but do not use software, limiting themselves to simpler programs. It was found that Wi-Fi services and the use of social networks are perceived as sources of competitive advantage in the context investigated. The research points to practical contributions that shed light on the need to make resources available for the application of ICT in the hotel sector.

A memorable tourism experience corresponds to the memories retained in the tourist’s memory based on the individual experiences perceived during all the phases of a trip to a particular destination. Theme parks are tourist attractions designed with a thematic identity that allows visitors to escape from routine and are based on offering a different world with alternative experiences that can become unforgettable. In this context, this study aimed to analyze the influence of memorable tourism experiences from the Beto Carrero World theme park perspective in Penha-SC, Brazil. This research was conducted using data collected from 680 tourist visitors to the park, using a questionnaire comprising 27 variables that are part of the memorable tourism experience constructs: hedonism, novelty, renewal, meaning, involvement, knowledge, and social interaction. The data was analyzed based on sociodemographic characteristics and multivariate analysis using SPSS and SmartPLS software. The results made it possible to identify a new proposal for a conceptual model to evaluate the meaning of memorable experiences in theme parks and positively confirmed the influence between the memorable tourism experience and each firstorder construct, revealing that immersive hedonism and perceived meaning had the most significant impact on the memorable tourism experience in the theme park.
