Residents' perception of tourist development and the environment: a study from Morocco

A perception study of the impacts that a new beach resort has, and will have, on the resident population in the northeast of Morocco was implemented during the construction phase of the resort. The residents have felt the impacts on local development, incomes, quality of life and the environment, and expressed their perception of how the opening of the new site will continue to impact their community. The study shows differences concerning the type of impact according to each professional sector. Despite the different perceptions, residents seem united in their overall concerns and fears about the how the new beach resort will impact the environment.     

The greener,the more cost efficient? An empirical study of international tourist hotels in Taiwan

Going ‘green’ is more than a mere fad in the hotel industry, and environment-friendly green hotels are becoming popular. The purpose of this study was to conduct an investigation into the link between ‘green’ and cost efficiency in the hotel industry. Empirical evidence supporting this investigation was gathered from the Taiwan hotel industry. Data were gathered from 68 international tourist hotels in Taiwan. Moreover, our finding differs from most of the earlier studies and indicates that ‘green’ is negatively and significantly associated with the cost efficiency of a hotel. In other words, ‘green’ renders a hotel ineffective. The implications of the findings have been discussed, and the limitations of the study as well as future research directions have been addressed.     

城市旅游绩效、要素结构与发展模式关联——基于49市的比照分析

论文基于11 000多条网络文本大数据,结合文本分析、重要性-表现性分析、聚类分析与方差分析、分块分析、TOPSIS等方法,从游客感知视角,对49座城市开展比照研究,探析城市旅游绩效与要素结构、发展模式之间的关联。研究发现：1）不同类型城市的旅游要素感知、认可分异相对稳定,将49市归纳为功能组、复合组、资源组、专业组。2）专业组、资源组旅游发展模式相对成熟,功能组次之,复合组较含混。旅游资源对感知网络具有催化作用,城市的核心特质更易引发游客认同。3）要素结构对城市旅游绩效有一定温和影响,发展模式是旅游绩效的主导因素。当前,城市旅游要素开发丰度和深度普遍不足,扩展旅游要素的感知面、加强核心要素的集聚性是提升旅游绩效的基本导则。4）资源禀赋不能单方面决定城市旅游绩效,旅游绩效与城市综合发展水平密切相关。     

目的地方言感知、品牌个性对游客忠诚的影响——游客满意的中介作用

选取西安为案例地,根据自我调节态度理论构建研究框架,探究游客对旅游目的地的方言感知与品牌个性的结构维度,进而揭示旅游目的地方言感知与品牌个性对旅游者满意度、忠诚度的内在影响机制。结果发现:(1)西安的目的地个性由历史文化、现代气息、闲适、活力和高雅5个维度构成。(2)游客对目的地方言的感知能够对目的地个性认知产生显著积极影响。(3)目的地品牌个性对游客满意有直接影响,并通过游客满意的中介作用间接影响游客忠诚。(4)目的地方言感知直接影响游客满意,同样通过游客满意的中介效应对游客忠诚产生间接作用。(5)目的地方言感知可通过目的地品牌个性和游客满意度链式中介作用于游客忠诚。

A Baseline Study on Water Resources of the Tourist Island, Pulau Perhentian, Peninsular Malaysia, from an Ecological Perspective

Ambient water quality and bacterial populations in the water resources of Pulau Perhentian, a Marine Park of Malaysia, were studied during a peak tourist arrival, off-monsoon period. The overall water and bacteriological quality of swimming/boating sites in the island is at an acceptable condition, although the conductivity (0.88–60 mS m^–1) due to high dissolved solid concentrations is slightly high, when compared with the recommended standard and published guidelines for the protection/maintenance of recreation water and its aesthetic enjoyment (Universiti Malaya, Department of Environment, Malaysia, 1986). However, the bacteriological quality of the drinking/bathing water wells is poor, with faecal coliform counts (2 up to 1,600 MPN per 100 ml sample water) exceeding the permissible levels defined for raw water supplies (with or without treatment). This suggests that the groundwater, seepage and run-off into the wells is contaminated. Contrary to the belief of the water users being interviewed in a social survey, the untreated drinking/bathing water is not bacteria-free. The excessive counts are attributable to deoxygenated conditions (12–42 percent corresponding to 0.9–3.3 mg l^–1) prevailing in the wells, high total suspended solids (up to 202 mg l^–1) which promote bacterial growth, lack of adequate sewerage systems to receive effluents from lavatories of dwellings, chalets and resorts, as well as the lack of centralised water treatment plants and storage tanks to cope with water scarcity and waterway contamination.
