Kako bi se bolje razvijao turizam važno je shvatiti ponašanje potrošača, odnosno predvidjeti buduće turističko ponašanje. Potrošačko ponašanje i društveno ponašanje u velikoj se mjeri preklapaju pa je stoga proučavanje potrošačkog ponašanja originalan aspekt socijalne psihologije. Proučavanjem unutrašnjih i vanjskih čimbenika došlo se do zaključka kako su upravo oni ti koji utječu na kupnju, odnosno u slučaju ovog diplomskog rada, utječu na odluku o putovanju i turističkoj potrošnji u slučaju rastavljenih obitelji. Proces donošenja odluke o odmoru, često je rezultat zajedničkog odlučivanja između članova kućanstva kada putuju zajedno, uzimajući u obzir da i djeca imaju utjecaj na donošenje odluka prilikom planiranja putovanja, kako u grupnom donošenju odluka, tako i ponašanja grupe. Problem istraživanja postavljen je u obliku istraživačkog pitanja: je li status obitelji, u ovom slučaju status rastavljene obitelji, utječe na korištenje financijskih sredstava te u skladu s time na korištenje financijskih sredstava u turističke svrhe. Iz prethodno napisanog, predmet ovog istraživanja je istražiti i analizirati odnos turističke potrošnje i statusa obitelji, odnosno istražiti na koji način i u kolikoj mjeri status rastavljene obitelji utječe na potrošnju u turističke svrhe. Provedenim istraživanjem među 12 ispitanika, 6 muškaraca i 6 žena, evidentno je da status obitelji ne utječe u značajnoj mjeri na korištenje financijskih sredstava kućanstva u turističke svrhe čime je odgovoreno na prvo od dva postavljena istraživačka pitanja. Iz istraživanja je vidljivo kako 58% ispitanika ne putuje u turističke svrhe da bi provodilo vrijeme s djecom te se iz toga da zaključiti da u slučaju rastavljenih obitelji, roditelji svoje slobodno vrijeme troše na turističke aktivnosti, ali iz osobnih razloga koji nisu nužno vezani za provođenje vremena s djecom. In order to better develop tourism, it is important to understand consumer behavior, that is, to predict future tourist behavior. Consumer behavior and social behavior overlap to a large extent, so the study of consumer behavior is an original aspect of social psychology. By studying internal and external factors, it was concluded that they are the ones that influence the purchase, that is, in the case of this thesis, they influence the decision on travel and tourist consumption in the case of separated families. The vacation decision-making process is often the result of joint decision-making between household members when they travel together, taking into account that children also have an influence on decision-making when planning a trip, both in group decision-making and group behavior. The research problem is posed in the form of a research question: does the status of the family, in this case the status of a separated family, affect the use of financial resources and, accordingly, the use of financial resources for tourism purposes. Based on the above, the purpose of this research is to investigate and analyze the relationship between tourist consumption and family status, that is, to investigate how and to what extent the status of a separated family affects consumption for tourism purposes. Based on the research conducted among 12 respondents, 6 men and 6 women, it is evident that family status does not significantly affect the use of household financial resources for tourism purposes, thus answering the first of the two research questions. The research shows that 58% of respondents do not travel for tourist purposes in order to spend time with their children, and from this it can be concluded that in the case of separated families, parents spend their free time on tourist activities, but for personal reasons that are not necessarily related to time with children.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate tourist in-destination consumption patterns in the context of bundled holiday packages in different resort categories to identify demand behavior that allows implementing profit-enhancing policies through attractive bundled offers for specific tourist segments.Design/methodology/approachThis study relies on data gathered in a quasi-experiment to analyze differences in consumption patterns at resort bars over a two-year period (summer 2018 and 2019) before and after the introduction of an all-inclusive soft drinks package.FindingsThe findings inform on bundling strategies according to different degrees of price consciousness and resort category. In particular, guests in upscale resorts are more likely to under-consume items included in a pre-paid bundle and significantly engage in additional spending than economy resort guests.Originality/valueThe quasi-experiment provides the actual in-destination consumption patterns and offering managerial insights and tools to tailor the form and content of bundles according to resort category.

Tourism has important economic impacts, but these are concentrated particularly on areas such as the coast. River sports such as kayaking and canoeing, in addition to having very low negative environmental impacts, can extend positive economic impacts to geographical areas beyond the coastlines. Understanding the factors that influence expenditures on river sports is critical to maximize the economic impacts of these sports as well as their potential to boost sustainable tourism development. Despite the growing research on sports tourism consumption and its determinants, it mainly focuses on sport events and certain sports. No study was found on the factors that influence tourism consumption in river sports. The aim of this paper is to analyse the consumption patterns of visitors related to river sports and the factors that determine this consumption. A questionnaire survey was conducted in Portugal, which permitted the conclusion that the surveyed river sports practitioners tend to spend more on accommodation, catering and retail and that the factors that positively influence consumption are, above all, income and some characteristics of the trip. The paper ends with conclusions and implications for tourism sector agents, Journal of Tourism & Development, vol. 1 n.º 36 (2021)

This PhD thesis consists of a papers’ collection focused on a comprehensive investigation of the hospitality industry, adopting a double perspective that accounts for a managerial point of view with a paper focused on routine’s dynamics and three papers focused on sustainability, aiming at responding to the latest call for research that the industry is facing. The management-focused paper addresses the need of furthering the understandings about routine redesign topic, while the three papers related to sustainability aim at providing an all-embracing conceptualization of the notion of sustainability in hospitality.

Za animaciju u turizmu može se reći kako prodaje doživljaje i stvara uspomene, a skup je usluga kojima se zadovoljavaju potrebe i želje turista, dok su ponuđeni programi dio turističke ponude kao osnova za poticanje sve veće turističke potrošnje. Gosti osim dobre destinacije, žele i kvalitetan i uzbudljiv sadržaj, a animacije su idealan način da se gostima to i pruži. Animatori i animacijski timovi su zaduženi za aktivnije, smislenije, atraktivnije načine formiranja i prezentiranja turističke ponude te svakako doprinose ugodnijem i zabavnijem boravku turista, ali i većoj potrošnji. It’s well known that tourist animation sell experiences and create memories, and it is a package of services that meet the needs and wishes of tourists, while its programs are part of the tourist offer which goal is to increase tourist consumption. Besides the attractiveness of your destination, guests also prefer a high quality and exciting tourist offer, and animation is an ideal way to provide guests an interesting program that will meet their needs. Animators and animation teams are responsible for more active, meaningful, attractive ways of creating and presenting a tourist offer, and certainly contribute to a more enjoyable and entertaining holiday for all tourists, as well as to an increase in tourist consumption.

Over the past two decades, the demands of nature-based tourism have been rapidly growing worldwide, yet it is not clear how tourist demands for water, food, and infrastructure influence the ecosystem services (ES), which are often the bedrock of an area&rsquo, s economic, cultural, and natural wealth. With a general conceptual model that applies the telecoupling framework, this study identifies complex interrelationships between the demand for nature-based tourism, which is a type of cultural ES, ES supply, and the economy simultaneously, using China&rsquo, s Qinghai Province as a demonstration site. The province is the origin of three rivers, making it crucial for water retention and prime for tourism. The results indicate that there is a strong spatial interaction between the number of tourism attractions and water retention. The southern Qinghai region&rsquo, s natural resources are protected by the Sanjiangyuan (three rivers headwater) National Park. From 2010&ndash, 2014, tourists in the Sanjiangyuan region spent more money than those in the northern Qinghai region, which has accelerated the development of tourism infrastructures. The Sanjiangyuan region may face the unexpected degradation of its natural habitats due to rapid tourism development. Our findings suggest that new management plans are needed to minimize the negative impacts from the demands of distant tourists, and preserve the region that supports both the environment and the economy.

S ciljem osiguravanja održivosti i konkurentnosti turističkih destinacija i gospodarskih subjekata koji u njima djeluju na način da su u stanju napredovati i dugoročno davati rezultate, potrebno je kreirati turističku politiku koja će podupirati razvoj turizma temeljen na načelima održivosti. Unatoč neospornom i neminovnom obuhvaćanju sviju aspekata održivosti (ekološkog, sociokulturnog i ekonomskog) glavni razlozi razvoja turizma su najčešće ipak ekonomske prirode. Koliki će biti ekonomski učinci turizma, među ostalim, ovisi o visini ostvarene turističke potrošnje, stoga je utvrđivanje i identificiranje njezinih odrednica korisno u smislu razumijevanja obrazaca potrošnje i utvrđivanja tržišnih segmenata te u kontekstu pomoći pri povećanju ekonomskih učinaka turizma. U svrhu prikupljanja primarnih podataka te testiranja postavljenih hipoteza, provedeno je empirijsko istraživanje u području Opatijske rivijere te Rijeke i riječkog prstena. Jedan od ciljeva bio je utvrditi osnovna obilježja i strukturu turista koji borave u promatranim destinacijama, izmjeriti stupanj važnosti koju turisti pridaju pojedinim elementima turističke ponude i stupanj njihova zadovoljstva tim elementima te utvrditi značajnost razlike u njihovim prosječnim ocjenama. Nadalje, cilj je bio utvrditi dimenzije zadovoljstva turista turističkom ponudom te utvrditi njezine kritične elemente. Fokus istraživanja bio je usmjeren na utvrđivanje visine i strukture turističke potrošnje te, u skladu sa svrhom ovog rada, na utvrđivanje kvalitativnih i kvantitativnih odrednica potražnje koje značajno utječu na visinu turističke potrošnje u destinaciji. Prije provođenja samog empirijskog istraživanja, analizirana je dostupna domaća i strana znanstvena i stručna literatura. Rezultat te analize predstavlja sveobuhvatnu sistematizaciju prethodnih istraživanja turističke potrošnje na razini destinacije. Analizom primarnih i sekundarnih podataka te primjenom jednostavnih i složenijih statističkih metoda analize ostvareni su svi postavljeni ciljevi te su testirane postavljene hipoteze. Na temelju rezultata provedenih analiza moguće je potvrditi postavljenu glavnu znanstvenu hipotezu ovoga doktorskog rada: razina turističke potrošnje u turističkoj destinaciji, uz socioekonomska obilježja turista te obilježja putovanja, povezana je i sa stupnjem zadovoljstva ukupnom ponudom destinacije., In order to ensure the sustainability and competitiveness of tourism destinations and businesses that operate in them in a way that they are able to thrive and provide long-term results, it is necessary to create a tourism policy that will support tourism development based on the principles of sustainability. Despite the undeniable and inevitable inclusion of all sustainability aspects (environmental, socio-cultural and economic), when it comes to tourism, the main reasons behind tourism development are usually economically driven. The economic impacts of tourism, among other, depend on the amount of attained tourist consumption, therefore, the identification of its determinants is useful in terms of understanding consumption patterns and establishing market segments, as well as in terms of increasing the economic effects of tourism. For the purpose of collecting primary data and testing the hypotheses, empirical research was conducted in the Opatija Riviera and in Rijeka and its surroundings. One of the objectives was to determine the characteristics and structure of tourists staying in the selected destinations, measure the degree of importance they assign to elements of the tourism offer as well as the degree of their satisfaction with these elements and to determine the significance of differences in their average scores. Furthermore, the aim was to determine the dimensions of tourist satisfaction with the destination’s tourism offer and to determine its critical elements. The focus of the research was aimed at determining the extent and structure of tourist consumption in the destination and, according to the purpose of this study, to identify the qualitative and quantitative determinants of demand, which significantly contribute to the amount of tourist expenditure in the destination. Before conducting the empirical research, the available domestic and foreign literature was analysed. This analysis represents a comprehensive overview systematization of previous research on tourist consumption at the destination level. By completing the process of analysing primary and secondary data and by applying simple and advanced statistical analysis methods, all set goals were achieved and the proposed hypotheses have been tested. Based on the results, it is possible to confirm the scientific hypothesis of this doctoral thesis: The level of tourist consumption in a tourist destination, apart from the socio-economic characteristics of tourists and their travel features, is also connected with the degree of satisfaction with the total tourism offer of a destination.

U ovome diplomskome radu definira se, objašnjava, istražuje i analizira turistička potrošnja na globalnoj razini, dok se poseban naglasak odnosi na usporedbu, točnije, na komparativnu analizu turističke potrošnje Poljske i Republike Hrvatske. Turistička potrošnja jedan je od najvažnijih pokazatelja turističkih kretanja i konkurentnosti destinacija na turističkome tržištu te je kao takva vrlo zanimljiva za provedbu raznih istraživanja i analiza. Svake godine bilježi se sve veći trend rasta turističke potrošnje na globalnoj razini. U ovome radu detaljnije se proučava turistička potrošnja odabranih država te se one stavljaju u međuodnos. Time, dobivaju se rezultati o konkurentnosti Poljske i Republike Hrvatske na samome turističkome tržištu Europe ali i cijeloga svijeta., This graduate work defines, explains, explores and analyzes tourist consumption globally, with a special emphasis on comparison, more precisely, on comparative analysis of tourist consumption of Poland and the Republic of Croatia. Tourist consumption is one of the most important indicators of tourist movements and competitiveness of destinations on the tourist market and as such, it is very interesting for implementation of various researches and analysis. Every year there is an increasing trend of growth in tourist consumption on global level. In this work, the tourist consumption of the selected countries is studied more closely and also, the tourist consumption in those countries are put into a interrelationship. With that, the results of the competitiveness of Poland and the Republic of Croatia are obtained not only on the tourist market in Europe itself, but also in the whole world.

The sharp decline in exports and industrial production, rising unemployment and rapidly eroding consumer confidence had a severe negative impact on tourism consumption. This paper explores the factors that affected tourist's behaviour, hence their preferences and holiday destination choice on the background of the economic crisis. It is focused on a qualitative methodology approach that is based on a questionnaire and a quantitative research based on statistical data. The research was structured to build an understanding of how the economic crisis affected the tourists that “consume” tourism products and which have made changes in their destination choices.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissert_Ana Teresa Gotardo.pdf: 3624780 bytes, checksum: 8d0ac0322910454feea9c861989895e2 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-02-26 This work aims to understand the production of meanings about carioca and Rio de Janeiro in travel documentary television series produced by foreigners. The study is a critical analysis that examines narratives produced in two historical moments. First, comprising the years 2007 and 2008, when the city was suffering from violence-related issues with wide repercussions media; and second, in 2012, the year preceding large and mega events hosted by the city, and after the implementation of pacifying police units and the beginning of city branding. From this comparison, it is possible to realize that there was a change in the narratives of the city with regard to its tourist consumption, particularly in relation to slums, violence and poverty. Favelas, which was previously deleted or seen as a place of extreme danger and only for the few and crazy tourism, becomes a space to be tamed, civilized, mainly by the presence of institutionalized power (State) and civil society with social projects (sports) to teach good life forms. Despite this change, certain clichés - such as samba, sensuality, the beaches, the idea of idyllic paradise - remain solids not only with regard to the representation of the city, but in understanding the Rio as representative of a whole nation Este trabalho visa compreender a produção de sentidos sobre o carioca e o Rio de Janeiro em documentários seriados sobre turismo produzidos para a TV por estrangeiros. Por meio de uma análise crítica, o estudo analisa narrativas produzidas em dois momentos históricos distintos: o primeiro, compreendendo os anos de 2007 e 2008, quando a cidade sofria com problemas relacionados à violência com ampla repercussão midiática; e o segundo, em 2012, ano que precede grandes e megaeventos sediados na cidade, e após a implantação das unidades de polícia pacificadora e do início do city branding. A partir desta comparação, é possível perceber que houve uma mudança das narrativas sobre a cidade no que diz respeito ao seu consumo turístico, especialmente em relação à favela, à violência e à pobreza. O local, que antes era excluído ou visto como lugar de perigo extremo e de turismo apenas para poucos e loucos, passa a ser entendido como espaço a ser domesticado, civilizado, principalmente pela presença do poder institucionalizado (Estado) e da sociedade civil com projetos sociais (esportivos) para ensinar boas formas de vida. Apesar dessa mudança, certos clichês tais como o samba, a sensualidade, as praias, a ideia do paraíso idílico permanecem sólidos não apenas no que diz respeito à representação da cidade, mas na compreensão do Rio como representante de toda uma nação.

The purpose of this article is to bridge that knowledge gap while studying the demand for two of the most well-known tourist accommodation products in the Portuguese countryside, namely, TER and the Pousadas. Drawing on a range of sources of material, it shows that the pastoral idyll sought by tourists is experienced differently through the lens of social class representations. In addition, there is evidence here that the choice of accommodation at a destination may well be regarded as a means of social differentiation through tourism. authorsversion published
