The analysis of actor networks in tourist destinations has grown in importance in the scientific literature. In this article, the application of the SNA (Social Network Analysis) network methodology in four cities of Ecuador, allows us to know the structure of their relationships and strengths through a set of indicators such as density and centrality, the latter focused from its degree of entry (outdegree), i.e. the number of direct relationships that the actors claim to have, and its degree of exit (indegree), in other words, the number of times that an actor is mentioned by another actor. The results of this study show that each city has different dynamics both in relation to its level of participation and in terms of relationships in the network; actors from the public sector and the different unions and associations stand out, while actors who do not have these strengths are at a lower level.

Economic activities related to tourism need, at different scales, a policy related to water, in our case in Spain. The main objective of the present investigation is to show the guidelines that mark, or should indicate, the path for the use of a scarce resource such as water, so that the tourist activities can be developed in a balanced way, marking and favoring the growth of the different tourist destinations, contributing to the achievement of more equanimous living conditions. Thus, when analyzing the Water policy in detail, it is determined as in Spain, since the appearance in the current democratic era, of the Water Law of 1985, until approximately the presentation of the Royal Decree that approves the regulation of Hydrological Planning, it has been denoting a progressive development in terms of the issues that have had to face the different water policies. Along these lines, the legal guidelines related to water resources have been adapting to the demands of the circumstances, mainly to the community trends embodied in the renowned Directive 2000/60/EC, which essentially required that rational water availability be guaranteed, so that the various social activities were revitalized.

Jerusalem has been attracting believers of the three great monotheistic religions for centuries. It has been built over the centuries as the main sacred city for a large percentage of the world's population. It currently attracts hundreds of thousands of international tourists whose main motivation is religious tourism and the visit of sacred places. However, it is a destination that is very exposed to the controversy as a result of the Palestinian- Israeli conflict for more than 70 years, and that continues to affect the image and competitiveness of the destination within the international scene. In this article, we analyze the causes of why Jerusalem is considered the capital of religious tourism worldwide, as well as the possibilities that tourism offers as a strategic argument to impose a specific historical narrative and an adequate climate of coexistence between Palestinian communities and Israelis.

El concepto de Patrimonio ha seguido una tendencia aglutinadora en su evolución histórica, dando lugar a nociones cada vez más integradoras del mismo, en cuanto a valores y tipologías. Sin embargo, las disposiciones legislativas de protección de los bienes patrimoniales no han llegado a superar la segmentación entre elementos naturales, culturales o paisajísticos que impera desde el Romanticismo, lo que supone la generación de planteamientos normativos sectorizados y muchas veces contradictorios entre sí. En este sentido, la actividad turística como instrumento para el desarrollo de las sociedades necesita de nuevos modelos que entiendan al patrimonio en clave integral, especialmente en aquellos lugares donde la interacción entre hombre y naturaleza resulta el principal recurso de atracción de visitantes, a fin de conseguir un manejo turístico más eficiente en los territorios.

The Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a consolidated environmental policy tool at international level. The state of the art shows that despite its increasing application at international level some conceptual aspects remain still open and condition its praxis. We argue here that the problem roots in the lack of a precise identification of the SEA's own object of analysis differentiated from the one of its predecessor, the environmental impact assessment of projects. We propose in this article a definition of the SEA specific object of analysis, and illustrate its application in the SEA of tourism development policies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The relevance reached by the cultural heritage in the cities of Castilla y León converts them in a representative scenario to understand the spatial transformations associated to the expansion of the cultural tourism in Spain. In this way, the city of Valladolid deserves a specific consideration because, provided with a real-state heritage of great historical value, most of its elements have been affected by a process deterioration during the second half of the XXth century. The instruments applied in the first decade of the XXI century to the restoration and rehabilitation of the entire historic center, as well as to the accreditation of its principal cultural resources, have allowed to laid the foundations of an strategy heading to the valuation of heritage with touristic development purposes, by the organization of the principal elements that integrate it in an articulated offer for the visitor. Nevertheless, the result of these actions has not been always the expected, suffering new alterations the built heritage that the city already preserved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Tourism has become the fastest growing business in the world; its economic impact has tripled in the last 50 year, and may triple by end of 2020 early 2030. Tourism accounts for almost 30 % of world exports commercial services and about 6 % of world exports of goods and services, only surpassed by oil, chemicals and automobiles. In a recent statement from the World Tourism Organization (WTO), despite the difficulties of the world economy, international tourism has maintained its resilience and recovery. Between January and June 2012, the number of international tourists worldwide grew by nearly 5% (22 million) more than during the same period in 2011. Though it may provide a slight slowdown in growth during the rest of the year, estimates that international arrivals will exceed one billion. For many developing countries, tourism is the main source of income, and the first export type. In the case of Ecuador, tourism has become the third largest source of foreign exchange contribution to the economy with sustained growth of over 10% annually, so their development is a priority for the country look. This article offers an overview of the impact generated by the hotel and tourism industry in the province Chimborazo Riobamba canton. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
