This study attempts to identify corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices for small and medium-sized accommodation businesses (SMABs) in the hospitality industry and how they contribute to the economic, environmental, and social context. Using a holistic approach to CSR, we conducted qualitative semi-structured interviews with a sample of fifteen SMABs in Jordan, classified as three-star or less. The study presents the CSR practices in SMABs, some barriers and challenges faced (e.g., gender gap and employees with special needs), together with recommendations to overcome them. This is one of the first studies to examine the CSR practices of SMABs in the Middle East hospitality industry, and their social, economic, and environmental impact. Findings add to existing gasps on CSR in SMABs, more focused on large businesses, and CSR's impact on local community, a less researched dimension, and findings can be used by decision-makers to further improve CSR practices in the hospitality industry.

This article aims to analyze the empirical and theoretical contributions of Brazilian studies dealing with Local Productive Arrangements in tourist regions in Brazil, with reference to the period between 2010 and 2023. To this end, we opted for a bibliographic and content analysis of fourteen articles published in Brazilian journals and events from 2010 to 2023. We usedtheIraMuteq software to apply lexical analysis of the content discussed in the conclusions of these articles, which were selected from the CAPES platform. The articles were grouped into six clusters which addressed the importance of Local Productive Arrangements in strengthening tourism production chains in Brazil and which indicated challenges in thetourism models, namely difficulty in innovating, seasonality and lack of cooperation and interaction between local players. Tourism LPAs have emerged as an effective strategy for mitigating the effects of these obstacles and promoting regional and local development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the face of profound changes and needs in rural environments, tourism represents a holistic development alternative for the use of resources and social cohesion that generates benefits. In the Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve in Querétaro, Mexico, several community-based tourism ventures have recently been integrated but work in a disjointed manner, limiting their strengthening and consolidation. The objective of the present study was to analyze whether the integration of a network can be a tool for local development in the region. Through participatory action research with a constructivist approach and techniques such as semi-structured interviews, community workshops and participatory observation, the visionary perspective of the communities, entrepreneurs, and the main public, private and governmental institutional actors at the local level was rescued. The results highlight cooperativism, from a theoretical perspective, as a cornerstone of community tourism, where social cohesion generates better results. On the other hand, from practice, the Network was formed with self-management and protagonism of the community, in a solidary, viable and environmentally responsible tourism activity. It is concluded by visualizing that planning from the cooperation among diverse actors can achieve a development with a sustainable approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Community-based tourism (CBT) operates on a paradigm of community self-governance wherein traditional communities assume the role of instigators and protagonists in the realm of tourism within their territories. Within this framework, CBT emerges as a means of realizing the sustainable development goals (SDGs) articulated in the United Nations' Agenda 2030, outlined in 2015. The present study aims to compare three TBC communities with the SDG criteria and their contribution to the 2023 Agenda. To achieve this aim, we employed a methodological approach rooted in case study, leveraging secondary sources and adopting a qualitative methodology. The principal findings underscore that the three scrutinized CBT communities—Tekoá-Pirá, Chã de Jardim, and Amucafé, located in Brazil—directly contribute to the attainment of seven SDGs and indirectly influence two others. As prospective research avenues, we advocate exploring additional initiatives and implementing empirical studies to delve more profoundly into the realities of these communities.

Tourism, as a form of spending free time, has undergone numerous transformations in the last period of time, this is due both to globalization that contributed to the internationalization of tourist experiences, but also to recent events (such as the Covid-19 pandemic, economic crises, etc), but also changing the perception of tourism consumers regarding how they can spend their free time. Traditional or well-known destinations have started to face overcrowding, which is starting to be felt negatively by both residents and visitors who are starting to change their consumption habits regarding the locations they choose as tourist destinations. On the other hand, the challenges of the modern world regarding the effects of global warming, the sharp increase in the population, the depletion of planetary resources, but also the much greater concerns of the current generations regarding these aspects, make the choices we make regarding the choice leisure destinations to change and become more responsible. In this context, creative tourism as an increasingly sought-after option, among a growing category of consumers. In this paper, we set out to analyze the perception that tourism consumers in Romania have regarding this form of tourism. The research assumed, on the one hand, a bibliographic analysis regarding the term creative tourism and how this notion has evolved from the moment of its definition as a form of tourism in the 2000s until now, as well as from a study of case based on the application of a questionnaire to measure the perception of consumers regarding this form of tourism, but especially on the awareness of its existence. The questionnaire had 16 questions answered by 124 respondents. The data were centralized and interpreted with the help of the Excel program, the results highlighting the fact that although some of the respondents practice creative tourism, it is quite little known as a concept. The answers given by the study participants highlighted the fact that they are interested in practicing activities integrated into creative tourism, considering that there are many advantages both regarding the experiences they create, with the interactions they establish with the locals or with the other participants. At the same time, the impact that creative tourism practices have at the local level (both economic and social) is recognized. We consider that these results are useful not only at the micro level, but also at the macro level, under the conditions that the development strategies of the field of hospitality will be thought in such a way as to promote, integrate and develop this form of contemporary tourism.

Tourism boosts the regional economy and encompasses various sectors that determine its potential, promoting economic, environmental and social development by generating the creation of small and medium-sized enterprises and employment, thus improving people's quality of life. In this context, an analysis of the structural changes in the number of visitors to the Kuélap archaeological site in the region of Amazonas, Peru was conducted. The closure of the Kuélap Monumental Archaeological Zone was selected as the object of analysis since the Kuélap archaeological site constitutes the most prominent tourist resource in the department of Amazonas and is the main attraction for tourists to visit. This study was carried out by using an analytical and descriptive approach, with a non-experimental longitudinal and cross-sectional design. Data from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (MINCETUR) were used, and the perspective of tourism providers by means of a survey applied to a sample of 83 entrepreneurs in Chachapoyas, Tingo and La Malca was analysed. The results show that the implementation of cable cars in Kuélap has had a positive impact of 54% on sales and employment, while the COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact of 81%. On the other hand, the closure of the archaeological site has had a negative impact of 52%. Any negative impact on the Kuélap archaeological site resulted in a slowdown in the regional economy. In conclusion, from the point of view of visitor records and the perspective of tourism providers regarding structural changes, social impact is reflected in different economic sectors and, therefore, in the development of the local and regional economy. It is essential to consider these aspects when making decisions and developing strategies to promote tourism in the region in order to improve the quality of life of its residents (social, economic and cultural well-being).

This paper focuses on the recent revival of Jewish religious and cultural activities in the coastal town of Trani, in Southern Italy, after several centuries of substantial interruption. The specific events which led to the re-establishment of an institutional Jewish community and the restoration and reclamation of the local synagogues, along with the renewed visibility of the well-preserved Jewish district, of Medieval origins, are unique to this case study. However, at the same time, they reflect similar phenomena of restoration of Jewish sites and revival of Jewish communities in southern and eastern Europe, and beyond. As the case study analysis shows, Jewish-themed tourism has been growing as a consequence of this religious comeback, and it works as a stimulus and magnet for public projects and private investments aimed at further developing (or even capitalising on) this trend, for various purposes. The management of heritage and cultural tourism is closely connected to the complex identity of religious minority groups, where different components tend to produce different visions and practices. Actors, discourses, and reasons behind the management and promotion of Jewish culture will be highlighted and the representations and visions of the various stakeholders and groups involved will be portrayed, with the aim of contributing to the discussion about the complexity of managing minority heritage in tourist destinations.

Tourism development allows the enhancement of the heritage of local cultural resources, expressing the territorial potential. The Systematic Literature Review shown in this paper highlight the relationship between "cultural heritage" and "tourism". The current state of the art and the specific relationships between the contents of the selected publications demonstrate that tourism is an indispensable tool in local communication and cultural promotion policies and strategies. The qualitative results allow the identification of cultural tourism geographies that coincide with four thematic clusters not evident in advance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article addresses the relationship between tourism and local development, focusing on the hotel and tourism reactivation process in the Pedernales canton, Manabí, Ecuador, after the earthquake that occurred on April 16, 2016. The central objective of the research is to analyze the progress of the economic and tourism reactivation in Pedernales, evaluating its alignment with the proposed recovery plans both at the local and national level. The study seeks to determine at what levels economic and tourism reactivation has been achieved, considering the implementation of the economic and productive reactivation plan presented by the Reconstruction Secretariat and the economic reactivation agenda proposed by the national government. The research examines how the revitalization of the tourism sector can boost local development. Through a thorough analysis of the pre- and post-earthquake situation, we seek to understand how the recovery of hotel infrastructure and tourism promotion strategies have influenced the economic revitalization of Pedernales. The article will contribute to evaluating the effectiveness of the policies and measures adopted in the reactivation process, offering valuable perspectives on the relationship between tourism, local development and resilience in the face of natural challenges.

This article aims to propose guidelines for a qualification program in tourism aimed at Brazilian municipalities under the influence of the Bioceanic Route, based on the premise of respecting the cultural specificities of the territory and the respective participation of communities in this process. In methodological terms, we start with a qualitative approach, in which we conduct a set of six conversation circles with different actors who are in permanent contact with the communities in the territory. Regarding the theoreticalanalytical perspective employed in the construction of the article, we make use of Cultural, Post-Colonial and Decolonial Studies, having as a premise to think, propose and contribute to qualification initiatives in tourism that break with the logic of coloniality and, therefore, help in the processes of emancipation of communities and affirmation of their cultural manifestations. In this way, the article starts from a central axis – which we call the Culture Axis – and suggests a set of five guidelines that may be central in the dissemination of tourism qualification initiatives among communities in the Brazilian territory of the Bioceanic Route. We hope, with the reflections present in this manuscript, to contribute to making visible the reality of the communities around the Bioceanic Route, calling attention to the importance of these communities being fully contemplated in all the dynamics that involve the activities directly or indirectly stimulated by the Bioceanic Route, including, in this area, the activity of tourism itself.

Algeria's tourism sector plays a critical role in its economy, especially as the country faces an economic crisis due to its reliance on fossil fuels. However, despite its potential, the tourism industry has remained limited to coastal and desert tourism in the north and south, respectively. Therefore, diversifying the tourism product by exploring inland regions is necessary to restore regional balance and create geographical homogeneity. Djelfa, a city located in the central highlands of the Atlas Mountains, offers unique natural resources and cultural heritage, making it an ideal destination for ecotourism. This study evaluates the potential of Djelfa for tourism planning purposes, using scientific documentation, field survey techniques, and analytical methods like SWOT analysis. In addition, a survey was conducted amongst tourists to collect their opinions on the city's attraction characteristics. The data was processed using principal component analysis (PCA) in SPSS software. The study emphasizes the importance of tourism planning in the area and proposes suitable tourism projects for ecotourism and investment in the Senelba forest site. These projects will positively influence the environment, local population, and lead to real development at the local and national levels while preserving the area's cultural and natural heritage.

Mountains are perceived as places of biodiversity, as attractive places with breathtaking aesthetic views and epitomized by their unique landscape features. As mountains are the second most demanded outdoor destination category at a global level after beaches and islands, the steady growth of tourism places high pressure on sensitive mountain ecosystems. As can be observed from tourism practice in mountain environments, the distribution of tourism activities is highly uneven. In the Alps, one of the best-known regions with relentless tourism growth, a substantial concentration of tourism intensity can be traced to specific locations and valleys, whereas other parts have to cope with trends of marginalization. In this situation, many concerned stakeholders have long advocated for more balanced economic and tourism development. The initiative of "Mountaineering Villages" promoted by the Alpine Convention is one of a few respective actions to shift perspectives and persuade tourists to engage in sustainable tourism activities. The paper explores how these activities are linked to the balanced use of cultural landscapes and the narratives that are exposed as convincing development models in these regions.

The tourist destination Santiago de Cuba is characterized by the development of the traditional modality of sun and beach, nature, history, heritage, as well as cultural and city tourism (Ministry of Tourism, 2019). The latter is one of the main sources of motivation for international tourists who arrive in the city. However, there is no differentiating proposal for the destination in relation to other destinations in the region, by offering events and cultural itineraries, which need to be rethought from the sociocultural values that characterize it as a welcoming destination given the idiosyncrasy of its people. The markedly Caribbean cultural expressions; intangible heritage values that make it stand out among the destinations of the eastern region and the rest of the country’s tourist cities. In this way, the bases are offered to promote the work of integration of the social actors linked to tourism and consequently, the weighting of the attributes of the destination.

In rural spaces, new activities are developed to add to the traditional ones in the context of multifunctionality, considering the protection and enhancement of natural and cultural heritage, as in natural parks. These incorporate new recreational and tourist functions, understood as an instrument for local development. This research aims to study the relationships between tourism and local development in three natural parks (Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche, Sierra Norte de Sevilla, and Sierra de Hornachuelos) in Andalusia (Spain). The research uses a mixed methodology consisting of, on the one hand, selective interviews with stakeholders focused on tourism and local development processes and, on the other, secondary data to analyse the repercussions on local development. The results show (1) the prevalence among the informants of the economic dimension in local development above the environmental and sociocultural dimensions; (2) the influence of declarations of protection and implementation of development policies on the growth of the tourist offer; (3) uneven tourism development in the different municipalities and natural parks; and (4) the limited effects of tourism on local development.

The globalization process allows countries or cities to develop their economies thanks to the tourist destinations that each one of them offers, and there is a relationship between tourism and the stages of the globalization process. In order for tourism to have a favorable impact on the local development of the municipalities, a clear and broad vision must be had, which allows the development of sustainable and comprehensive tourism. The Department of La Libertad and especially the municipalities that have been the subject of study, have a wide variety of tourist attractions, linked to a range of services, which may be susceptible to improvement. Given this context, Universidad Salvadoreña Alberto Masferrer (USAM), directs its resources and capabilities in the search for an intersectoral strategy that allows the members of the tourism value chain (entrepreneurs, producers, tour operators, carriers, academia, government, etc.), to associate through a cluster that allows offering a package of tourist services to achieve the development of these municipalities.

This paper analyzes music festivals as a territorial structuring tool as part of a larger reflection on the resilience of territories highly dependent on tourism. The results obtained from our study on the Empordà (Costa Brava), through in-depth interviews and a system of quantitative indicators, confirm that these cultural tourism products function as microclusters, creating and reinforcing stable relationships between local actors. When they become one more product in a multifunctional territory, they can contribute to making destinations and territories more resilient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The development of tourism in the region can be managed and guided by an appropriate regional policy that has realistic objectives. The paper focuses on the area of regional development in the context of tourism within the local government in the municipality of Besenova (situated in Slovakia, belongs to the natural region Liptov and to the administrative region Zilina at the level NUTS 3), taking into account the economic, social and ecological aspects of the region and shows the impact of tourism on the lives of local residents, the operation of the local economy, the overall attractiveness and appearance of the municipality. It focuses on both the positive and negative impacts of the tourism industry on the locality, with the intensity of their impact depending mainly on the volume and structure of visitors who come to this popular destination not only from Slovakia but also from abroad. Literature review contains information about regional and local development, new trends in this area (e. g. triple, quadruple and quintuple helix model) and pros and cons of tourism. In the theoretical part of contribution are used books, internal materials and articles indexed in WOS or Scopus. In the contribution are used these methods: analysis and study of internal materials of village, mathematical-statistical methods (e.g. extrapolation of future values, trend analysis, absolute and relative number), analysis of secondary data & desk research, synthesis of results and suggestions for further development of tourism in the village Besenova. The results of the survey point to the importance of planned integrated tourism development, which will allow to exploit the tourism potential of the region, which has a sufficiently attractive natural and anthropogenic potential. Further regional and local development has potential not only for tourism, but also for employment, business, study and whole quality of life of inhabitants. It also could improve some macroeconomic indicators and increase competitiveness of region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The improvement of the model of construction of socialism in Cuba, has among its most innovative elements, a new conception of the relational process territory-tourism, recognizing the bidirectional synergies that are built and impact the dynamics of growth and development of the country. In this perspective, the present work establishes the design of a productive system that, from the management of local development with an intermunicipal relational approach and multi-actor, multi-level and intersectoral articulation, contributes to the articulation of the municipal economic-productive structure with tourism sectorial.

Objective. To elaborate an inventory of tourism resources identified in the mountain area of Texcoco, which serve as an instrument for planning and organizing the local tourism system. Design/Methodology/Approach. We considered the application of a survey to the auxiliary authorities, as well as to local and external actors that would allow contextualizing the tourism dynamics in the area. The task was supported by field trips applying the ethnographic method. From the collected data, eight localities were selected within the characteristics, a greater number of tourism resources were identified. Results. It was determined that some of the selected localities have sufficient attributes to potentiate some of their resources as a strategy for local development. Limitations/Implications. The restriction to access information in local offices of the municipal government limited the approach to some resources; thus, self-reported data had to be constructed through the perception of some individuals. Conclusions. It is necessary to develop tourism land-planning instruments through mechanisms of management that include training for local actors on various topics for the sustainable use of tourism resources.

The concept of "community tourism" has no official definition. This first article therefore aims to present its basic principle, philosophy, characteristics and ethics in order to provide a clear, complete and concise definition. We could observe from our bibliographic research and from those carried out on the ground in Costa Rica that the term "community tourism" appears in several forms. Ultimately, we understand from the term "community tourism" or "community based tourism", that this form of tourism is carried out by a group of people who share a common culture, language and/or values, all in a spirit of "solidarity". The tourist activity is therefore generated and managed by a group of people organized voluntarily. Conversely, the tourism that we call "classic" is an activity whose results are achieved by salaried employees within a company and whose benefits accrue only to its shareholders.

Tourism became one of the most important economic activity in the world after the '60s, when mankind began to be more interested in its holiday destinations. Thus, more and more tourists wanted to spend their leisure time and holidays in the countryside, being largely influenced by environmental ideas, by the desire to escape from traditional tourist structures, by the search for the best quality / price ratio, etc. This article aims to provide a summary on sustainable development of the tourism sector in rural areas in the European Union and Romania.

This article aims to address the territorial impact of the renovation project of the Catacombs in the Rione della Sanità neighborhood of Naples, carried out through cooperative management, with serious social problems. The project is analyzed as a model of tourism-based local development on the grounds of different existing theoretical conceptions, positing a taxonomy that is then applied to describe the birth and evolution of the project. By means of this characterization, economic changes and local participation are addressed. To approach the case, official documentation, calls for tender, and project bids were used. Additionally, media publications from 2018 and 2019 extracted from 32 pages of the Google search engine with keywords were surveyed. In 2019 and February 2022, 15 key informant interviews were conducted. The conclusions show that the model is inspired by a tradition of non-governmental organizations that operates with public and private financing but developed by these actors, thus achieving significant impact in economic terms and in the revitalization of the neighborhood, but with even greater presence of external actors and limited participation.

The impact caused by the rupture of the Fundão dam in the state of Minas Gerais, under the responsibility of the mining company Samarco Mineração SA, in 2015, is characterized as the socioenvironmental accident with the highest historical proportion in Brazil, including reaching international repercussions, the purpose is to carry out a situational analysis of the resumption of local development with an emphasis on the tourist axis in Rio Doce, MG, Brazil. The field research carried out, essentially through participant observation, from the Department of Tourism of the municipality understudy, allowed the identification of autochthonous, structural, and institutional aspects related to tourism, in light of the categories of local development (territorial, regional, endogenous, decentralized and Bottom-up), now revealed in this research. The results point to socioeconomic factors related to the participation of the civil population and the existing institutional arrangement, which allow tourism to coexist as an axis for local (re)development. Therefore, the carried-out situational analysis of tourism reveals a potential contribution to studies and practices in the context of disasters and socio-environmental crises in emerging countries that seek sustainability of their actions, especially regarding the concept of urbanity and rurality.

Experience Tourism has been provoking new ways of thinking from the perspective of intercultural and multidimensional development processes, especially from the actions of conservation and valorization of local cultures. In this sense, the study aimed to investigate aspects or elements of territoriality and local development in Campo Grande, MS, in search of viable relationships and possibilities for the implementation of this type of tourism. The methodology was based on qualitative research of bibliographic and documentary character. The results demonstrated the local potential beyond traditional tourism, as they also pointed out possibilities to become an experience destination, motivated mainly by the multiculturality of its people, the existing material and intangible heritage, in addition to the tourist attractions identified with the characteristics that advocate this type of interaction, which imprint their territorial dynamics on the local tourist map as an inducing city. Among the activities identified with the research in the Capital, which highlight the elements of the practice of Experience Tourism, the following stand out: Urban Birds Project; craft beer circuit; bird watching; visit to the Central Fair; visits to museums; walk to the historic center; ecological trails; walks in urban parks; the consumption of tereré drink; visiting the springs of the rivers that cut the city; in addition to listening to the stories told by the residents of Campo Grande, thus contributing to increasing their visibility in the national context, supported even by public tourism policies in all spheres.

The 'French' Way of St James crosses the province of Palencia. In the municipalities along the track the trajectory is a development resource after the 2008 financial crisis and the celebration of the Holy Year in 2010. This paper describes and analyses the socioeconomic impact along the route during the second decade of this century. The study is based on primary and secondary sources, including fieldwork. Basic data are mapped. The wealth generated by the Palencia track because of pilgrim and tourist spending has not been able to revert the ageing and loss of population. Despite the celebration of the 2021/2022 Holy Year the paralysis caused by the covid-19 pandemic has reduced the capacity of the local tourism industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
