This paper seeks to achieve two objectives: first, to examine climate change's impact on the value of tourists' experience in coastal tourism and beach resorts; Secondly, to identify the adaptation strategies applied to coastal tourism and beach resort hotels to reduce the negative effects of climate changes. A quantitative approach was adopted in this research to test the study hypotheses. Hurghada was selected as a case study. A convenience sample technique was chosen in this research to collect data from visitors of coastal tourism and beach resort hotel guests. A total of 250 questionnaires were distributed, and only 175 were returned and valid for analysis with a response rate of 70%. The findings showed that coastal tourism and beach resort hotels on the Red Sea are highly vulnerable to potential climate change risks such as floods, rising sea levels and rising temperatures. Also, the findings showed that climate changes negatively affect coastal tourism and beach resort hotels, affecting the value of the tourist experience. In addition, the results indicated that coastal tourism and beach resort hotels on the Red Sea coast in Hurghada are exposed to significant financial losses due to the threats of climate change. Beach resort hotels must be able to adapt to climate changes and mitigate their effects.

Illuminating rural tourism: A bibliometric approach

During the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, rural tourism in developed nations provided an exhilarating and pioneering field to delve into, whether one was a scholarly researcher or a visitor immersing oneself in the countryside environment. This type of tourism emerged as a novel and distinctive option, challenging the traditional and, in some cases, rapidly expanding beach and coastal resorts that dominated the tourism industry after the Second World War. Rural tourism was not a completely new occurrence in advanced countries during that period. It had already been set up, for example, in many distinguished and charming areas throughout Europe and North America since the end of the 19th century. The research examines the responses to the growth and transformation of rural tourism by analyzing articles published in Scopus, specifically exploring the subject categories and geographic distribution of these publications. By identifying patterns and making predictions based on these articles, this study aims to classify and investigate key research advancements and divisions in rural tourism. Additionally, it explores the research gaps in this field and synthesizes the findings to establish a solid framework for future investigations. The study also delves into the marketing research aspect of rural tourism and rural locations, highlighting the value of rural tourism journals for businesses and examining the emerging research trends and future opportunities in tourism organizations, as well as critical indicators for business performance. Finally, the article suggests that the capability framework can be utilized to identify new avenues for marketing research in the area.

Customers’ Satisfaction: Predictor of Loyalty among Guests of Beach Resorts in Misamis Oriental

Understanding customer satisfaction and loyalty is key for businesses to improve their services and build lasting relationships with customers, ensuring long-term success. The study aimed to assess how customer satisfaction affects loyalty at resorts in Initao, Misamis Oriental, Philippines. Using a descriptive correlational design, it randomly selected 302 regular customers from various beach resorts in the area. Data was gathered from these participants via survey questionnaires, which provided insights for analyzing the correlation between customer satisfaction and loyalty. The findings showed that most respondents were satisfied with the resort services, which included threshold, performance, and excitement attributes. Participants were assessed as being 'loyal' across both behavioral and attitudinal dimensions. Additionally, it was determined that these three attributes of customer satisfaction - threshold, performance, and excitement - had a significant influence on the participants' loyalty to the beach resorts they visited. These findings highlight the crucial importance of service quality and staff behavior in cultivating lasting customer loyalty in the competitive beach resort industry. Consequently, it is advised that beach resorts invest in extensive staff training programs to foster positive attitudes and deliver exceptional service.

Relationship Of Digital Tourism Strategies And Performance Of Beach And Water-Themed Resorts In MISAMIS ORIENTAL Amidst The New Normal

Tourism is one of the industries hardest hit by COVID–19, and the Department of Tourism suggested digital tourism as one way of stimulating, at least, domestic travel. This study sought to determine the actions of resorts and the government interventions about it. The study applied mixed methods of research, total sampling population, and hybrid interview considering travel restrictions using a validated self-made questionnaire. The study was conducted in Northern Mindanao, Philippines. The respondents of the study were employees of beach and water-themed resorts and municipal tourism officers. The findings of the study revealed low usage of digital tourism strategies and poor tourism performance, a significant difference in digital tourism strategies of the resorts and their employees when grouped according to profile, and a significant relationship between digital tourism strategies and the tourism performance of the resorts. Policy gaps were also discovered. The study concludes that the level of usage of digital tourism strategies can only do so much given the status quo. Hence, recommendations for the enhancement of digital tourism strategies are suggested since they align with the state’s existing medium- and long-term development plans.

The analysis technique uses Multiple Linear Regression with the SPSS program or software. The results showed that simultaneously (simultaneous) showed that leadership style and compensation had an effect on employee performance, partially leadership style had a positive and significant influence on employee performance, and compensation had a positive and significant effect on employee performance.

Pengaruh atraksi, aksesibilitas dan amenitas terhadap minat kunjungan wisatawan ke kawasan ekonomi khusus (KEK) pariwisata Tanjung Lesung Banten

This research aims to determine the interest of tourists in visiting the particular economic area in the Tanjung Lesung Banten Tourism area. By being designated as a particular economic group, tourist interest should increase along with improvements in facilities and infrastructure in Banten. This research uses a quantitative approach with survey methods. The sample of respondents was 85, with processed data from 73 respondents who had visited Tanjung Lesung Beach Resort and Tanjung Lesung Beach Club, selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was carried out in stages using validity and reliability tests. The data was transformed using the MSI method into interval data and then analyzed using Multiple Regression Analysis. The results show that attractions have the highest and most significant value on tourist interest in visiting Tanjung Lesung. On the other hand, accessibility and amenities individually do not significantly affect tourists' interest in visiting.

Beach Resort of Tawa-Tawaro in East Kolono Subdistrict, South Konawe Regency: An Eco-Architectural Approach

Tawa-Tawaro Beach has emerged as one of the prominent tourist destinations in East Kolono. This area holds significant potential for tourism development owing to its natural allure and stunning panoramas, attracting frequent visits from locals and tourists alike. However, several challenges persist, including inadequate organization of the area, limited accommodation options, and environmental issues such as poor waste management systems and the absence of electricity infrastructure. Consequently, there is a pressing need for the design of a beach resort that offers accommodation facilities catering to the needs of travelers. In this study, a qualitative descriptive approach is employed. The objective is to enhance the organization of the area while considering ecological architectural aspects and elements, thus ensuring that visitors are provided with improved facilities.

Integrating marine functional zoning in coastal planning: Lessons from the Xiasha Beach Resort case study

Marine spatial planning (MSP) represents a critical tool for the worldwide design of coastal development and protection strategies. China, as one of the pioneers in establishing comprehensive MSP policies, has created a well-developed marine planning structure—known as the “multi-rule-in-one"—with Marine Functional Zoning (MFZ) serving as a cornerstone for the country's coastal economic and environmental development. Despite its significance, limited studies have presented the practical application of MSP/MFZ policies upon tourism exploitation in coastal regions. This paper fills this research gap by thoroughly examining China's marine planning structure, the implementation of provincial MFZ policy, and the operational mechanisms of these strategies. The analysis focuses on the Xiasha Beach Resort, a case study exemplifying the coordinated efforts required among governments, scientists, and the public for the successful implementation of MFZ policy. Findings from the Xiasha Beach Resort highlight the importance of robust tourist market management, a shift from hard seawall structures towards more eco-friendly alternatives, and a high degree of collaboration among key stakeholders. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the importance of ecosystem-based restoration technology that maintains the integrity of the beach-dune system, fosters diverse vegetation, and encourages adaptive measures such as environmental capacity control. The sustainability of the MSP approach hinges on wide and diverse public participation, as national MSP policies foster trust, credit, and feedback from local citizens, promoting necessary policy adjustments. In conclusion, this study offers valuable insights for domestic and international regions seeking to harmonize MSP operations to achieve high-quality coastal economic development and environmental protection targets.
