Region Gdansk Pomerania is an excellent geographic area for the development of yachting. Gdansk Bay and the Vistula Lagoon is characterized by very good weather conditions. Numerous advantages of anthropogenic and tourist resorts strengthen the attractiveness of the coast. The marina recently ended in Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia create very good conditions for the development of yachting. The combination of the Gulf of Gdansk by the river network and channels Żuławy of the Great Masurian Lakes promotes the development of yachting in both the Gulf of Gdansk and Masurian Lake region. However, new infrastructure investments, realized with funding from the EU, like ‘Loop Żuławska’ and the new marina, leading to an increase in tourist traffic and threats to existing reserves and landscape parks. Another problem is the lack of regulation of the right on the crossing of the Strait of Baltiysk, leading from the Vistula Lagoon on the Baltic Sea, which is located in the territorial waters of Russia. The concentration of investments in the region of Żuławy contrasts with too little spending on development of tourist infrastructure in the Hel Peninsula. There are large disparities in tourist traffic. Tourism in Hel Peninsula significantly exceeded the absorption of tourism in the region and leads to the degradation of the local environment. In addition, the seasonality of tourism on the coast favours the trend of maximizing profit tourism enterprises. New, designed ditch the Vistula Spit, which connects directly to the Vistula Lagoon from the Baltic Sea, bypassing the Russian territorial waters, can lead to serious ecological changes.

Saly Portudal resort and Petite Côte are more and more privileged destinations for Europeans and French people, especially elderly. They tend to become permanent resident. They only go back to Europe just to have medical care or to pay visit to their relatives. This inversion of stay durations has a lot of economic and social stakes at a local level.

This paper proposes a reflection on the cruise industry, the importance and scope of this industry. One of the objectives is to examine in particular the relationship between cruise lines and ports that receive cruises and excursionists. The cruise product built from the 1970s engendred a specific mass tourism. And the boat is both the means of transport and the destination. The stops have a secondary role in this logic that favors gigantism, standardization and uniformity. While gigantism known some limits, cruise products reconstructs itself spatially and innovative segments of the high-end and luxury.

Considerando a necessidade de se analisar o lazer nas organizações hoteleiras, este estudo se dedica a fazê-lo tendo como foco as estratégias organizacionais. O objetivo da pesquisa é realizar um diagnóstico do lazer nos resorts brasileiros na perspectiva da estratégia organizacional, de forma a identificar como ele é compreendido, tratado e desenvolvido nesses empreendimentos. O estudo possui abordagem descritiva qualitativa e utilizou a combinação das pesquisas bibliográfica, de campo e documental. A pesquisa de campo foi realizada junto a nove resorts associados a Resorts Brasil – Associação Brasileira de Resorts, enquanto que, na pesquisa documental, foram utilizados como fonte os sites dos estabelecimentos. As pesquisas levantaram dados referentes às estratégias ligadas ao lazer nos vários níveis organizacionais dos resorts. O trabalho se divide em três capítulos. No primeiro, é apresentado o contexto analítico da pesquisa, baseado nas visões de Castells (1999); Drucker (1999); Pine II e Gilmore (1999) sobre as relações da sociedade contemporânea com as organizações, quando são apresentadas as referências teóricas que versam sobre organização e estratégia organizacional. O segundo capítulo apresenta a segunda parte da referência teórica, que se refere aos resorts e suas relações com o lazer. Já o último, apresenta os resultados da pesquisa – o lazer na perspectiva das estratégias organizacionais dos resorts, analisado em quatro temáticas: o lazer nas alianças estratégicas; o lazer como produto; o lazer nas decisões estratégicas; o lazer no negócio. As temáticas são investigadas estabelecendo conexões com os novos movimentos econômicos e sociais intitulados como “sociedade das organizações”, “economia da experiência” e “sociedade em rede”, analisando como eles vêm confirmando tendências nas estratégias organizacionais de lazer, através da especialização das tarefas nas organizações, da formação de redes de empresas e da transformação de produtos em experiências. O estudo mostra a complexidade do ambiente de negócio e organizacional nos quais estão imersos os resorts e, por conseguinte, o lazer. Revela como a conjuntura social e econômica, o mercado consumidor, os investidores, a natureza do negócio e a administração de cada organização estabelecem uma intricada rede de relações que é decisiva na participação do lazer nas estratégias organizacionais dos empreendimentos.

The article discusses the Antilles island of Saint-Barthélemy and the influence of the American bourgeois discovery of the island in the 1950s. Topics include the economic transition of the island from poverty to riches, the island as a bathing resort for global bourgeois travelers, and the role of exoticism in drawing visitors to the island.

The diversity of the spa towns of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, both in terms of management methods and architecture, make it favourable to the study of secondary sites. On the fringes of the first-rate resorts, whose size remains relatively modest on a French scale, characterized by the presence of a spa district with its casino-theater, its hotels, and its villas, the exploitation of mineral or thermal water by private entrepreneurs gave birth to secondary stations or "micro-stations" from the mid-nineteenth century onwards. Often (but not systematically) located away from the rail network and, above all, financially and legally deprived to face local competition, they struggled to develop and declined in the first decades of the early twentieth century.

This contribution demonstrates how the issues and current problems regarding real estate management in Swiss Alpine tourist resorts emerge, for an important part, from the inconsistencies of the Federal land management system set in place at the end of the 1970s, system based on zoning scheme and excluding virtually any estate instrument, including the capital-gain levy. In these very favourable conditions for landowners, who also see land ownership strengthened by its introduction in the Federal Constitution at the end of the 1960s, the "growth coalitions" structuring the local power in many tourist towns usually planned oversized building areas (and often badly located) which have facilitated the development of second homes industry to the detriment of productive estate home industry. Faced with the failure of planning and zoning to limit these trends whose negative effects on the development of tourism seriously begin to be felt in the 1990s, we encounter, now in recent years, the post-eradication of the real estate question in discussions concerning the development of tourist resorts particularly in implementing real estate instruments, such as quota systems, moratoriums or taxes, intervening so much more directly than only zoning on land and real estate owners, contingency arrangements initially excluded from spatial planning policy.
