Security and Securitization as Topics in Sustainability and Tourism Research

There are many published bibliometric works in the literature on the broadly understood topics of tourism, sustainability, and security (STS). Most of these studies present an indexed approach, showing the impact of works, journals, spatial diversity, and the most frequently published or cited authors. The research and analysis undertaken in our work had a different goal: they were an attempt to answer questions about the degree of interest of researchers in the issue of STS, the dynamics of research devoted to the topics of STS, and internal differentiation in the broadly understood concept of security/danger in STS research. Data from the Web of Science journal database were used for the analysis. To determine the number of articles devoted to the topics of security, tourism, and sustainability, several combined keywords and simple statistical analyses were used. In the last 10, and especially 5 years (2019–2023), in each of the three topic groups, there has been an exponential increase in publications in journals indexed in the WoS database. In the sustainability category, risk and security received the most responses; in the tourism, COVID-19, and risk category; and in the tourism, sustainability, risk, and COVID-19 category. The use of keywords indicated thematic diversity in the field of security in each of the examined categories. The greatest interest among STS researchers was in studies related to the “COVID-19” threat. The results of the analysis allowed us to conclude there is an ongoing process of securitization in tourism research.

Exploring the Impact of the New Crown Epidemic on Tourism in Qiannan, Guizhou Using Principal Component Analysis Methods

Abstract Principal component analysis is usually a linear combination of all variables, which is very detrimental to the interpretation of the results. Therefore, this paper proposes sparse principal component analysis for analyzing the impact of the Xinguang epidemic on tourism, which can find linear combinations containing only a few input variables, effectively filter out sparse principal components, and achieve the purpose of explaining a high percentage of changes with sparse linear combinations. By observing the trend of accommodation, food and beverage, and tourism turnover data in Guizhou Qiannan region before and after the epidemic from 2015 to 2021, it was confirmed that the data of 2020 was mainly used as the dataset. For sparse principal component analysis, four data sets were selected, each with 14 indicators and 32 samples. The findings revealed that the tourism topics of interest during the epidemic were more spread out and had a lower concentration of links among each other. In the accommodation industry, the 1st principal component is turnover, which has a common factor variance of 0.995 and an eigenvalue of 13.408. In the catering industry, the 2 principal components can be interpreted as the major category of operating costs and the major category of turnover, with component matrix values of (0.997, -0.073) and (0.996, 0.064), respectively.

Features of Nautical Tourism in Portugal—Projected Destination Image with a Sustainability Marketing Approach

Nautical tourism stands out for its potential to achieve social-economic development in coastal and island destinations and as a lever for sustainable tourism. However, the lack of a clear definition of nautical tourism at the international level makes it difficult to characterize it, and the case of Portugal is no exception. In fact, despite the enormous potential of Portuguese nautical tourism, there is a lack of studies that characterize this type of tourism in the Portuguese tourism destination. This paper intends to make a first attempt to fill this gap by assessing the projected destination image of Portuguese nautical tourism with a sustainable marketing approach. In the design of the research, the content analysis methodology was applied. The data were collected from the official websites of the Portuguese legislation and the Portuguese nautical tourism players and analyzed through a theoretical model of sustainable marketing deriving from the literature review. The results provide the sustainable projected destination image of Portuguese nautical tourism and identify the main trends in the legislative framework, tourism activities, networks of players, and support infrastructures for Portuguese nautical tourism. The findings provide practical and useful insights for Portuguese nautical tourism stakeholders aiming to improve a sustainable projected destination image, as well as for researchers identifying research gaps in the nautical tourism topics. This study also provides a new methodological contribution, proposing a theoretical model of the projected destination image of nautical tourism with an approach to sustainable marketing, which can be applied to other nautical tourism destinations.

Otiumportal: смислові домінанти текстового простору (на матеріалі заголовків статей про туризм)

The objective of the article was to determine the semantic dominants of text headlines on tourism topics, written by the students of ESIJ (Educational and Scientific Institute of Journalism) and published on OTIUMPORTAL website – a specialized information resource that positions itself as a creative workshop where the future journalists improve their skills and abilities. The task of the authors was to select the concepts, development of which demonstrated the semantic accents of headlines in their estimative and communicative characteristics, as well as to consider the linguistic means of different levels, due to which the semantic accent was manifested. When working with the material, the following methods were applied: the continuous sampling method, which allowed to select the titles according to ―validity of information‖ parameter, the methods of analysis and synthesis, the conceptual analysis, which contributed to identify the semantic dominants and to determine the role of semantic actualizers in the textual space, and also to enable the classification and the generalization of the obtained results. The descriptive method was applied to present the research to the scientific community. The selected research object (627 article headlines) was examined from the point of view of content and form. The analysis was carried out taking into account three levels of the headline text: 1) the semantic level, which presents an understanding of the semantic level of the sentence, the goal-setting of this mini text, interaction with presupposition; 2) the estimative level, in which the subjective (evaluative) principle is the most evident, and 3) the communicative level, which demonstrates the reader‘s encouragement to communicate. The main results of the research are: determination of the headlines‘ semantic dominants in interaction of meanings of the concepts ―journey‖, ―topos‖, ―emotions‖, highlighting the ways of semantic deployment of these concepts through definitions, granularity, precedent text, identification of forms of implementation of communicative intentions.

Degree of political attention towards tourism: An analysis of party manifestos during German federal elections

The attention that political parties pay to the tourism sector’s issues has been an underresearched subject for tourism science. This paper aims to fill the gap by analysing political awareness for tourism-related topics on a national level. It will answer the question of whether tourism plays an important role in parties’ manifestos and in which context it is addressed. To facilitate the research, the paper applies a quantitative content analysis as well as a contextual analysis. Results show that within parties’ manifestos tourism topics are discussed and used for the political debate, not only for their economic aspects but in the context of infrastructure and sustainability as well. It becomes clear that tourism on a national level serves as a vehicle to communicate the general ideological message of the respective political party. The findings of this paper complement earlier studies regarding regional politics and tourism.

Characterizing Tourism Destination Image Using Photos’ Visual Content

“A picture is worth a thousand words”. Analysis of the visual content of tourist photos is an effective way to explore the image of tourist destinations. With the development of computer deep learning and big data mining technology, identifying the content of massive numbers of tourist photos by convolutional neural network (CNN) approaches breaks through the limitations of manual approaches of identifying photos’ visual information, e.g., small sample size, complex identification process, and results deviation. In this study, 531,629 travel photos of Jiangxi were identified as 365 scenes through deep learning technology. Through the latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) model, five major tourism topics are found and visualized by map. Then, we explored the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of different tourism scenes based on hot spot analysis technology and the seasonal evaluation index. Our research shows that the visual content mining on travel photos makes it possible to understand the tourism destination image and to reveal the temporal and spatial heterogeneity of the image, thereby providing an important reference for tourism marketing.

Bridging Worlds: Utilizing a Multi-Stakeholder Framework to Create Extension–Tourism Partnerships

Some counties in the United States are turning to visions of sustainable development in response to increasing environmental problems caused by land use expansion and intensification. Sustainable tourism is one industry capable of fostering this change because of its relationship to all facets of a destination, from transportation and culture to natural resource management. This paper addresses a study that examined what support tourism destinations in Florida need from the Cooperative Extension Service to better utilize natural areas as responsible tourism attractions to benefit the local community, economy, and biodiversity (i.e., ecotourism). A nominal group technique, questionnaires, and interviews with local tourism professionals were used to investigate needs and support for ecotourism development. Results show, when nature-based tourism products are present, growth in ecotourism market supply is desired by tourism providers. Results also indicate that this growth is possible with the help of Extension agents, who would serve as educators on responsible tourism topics and facilitate partnerships between government, businesses, local residents, and visitors. Integrating these results into the (2013) multi-stakeholder framework developed by Waligo et al. for sustainable tourism development, this paper outlines reasoning and process for the Cooperative Extension Service to provide important support for a prevalent natural resource use.
