- Dark tourism management and development: An exploratory analysisPublication . Martins, Marco; Guerra, Ricardo; Santos, Lara; Lopes, Luisa; Conde, Ana Rita;A review of recent relevant literature related to dark tourism from a management perspective indicates that there is an increasing academic interest in “dark tourism consumption,” “dark tourism motivation” and “dark tourism experience.” Thus, our goal is threefold: to delve into the research development on these three constructs, to critically analyze the current research, and bring to light research gaps and interrogations that deserve further consideration. This allows for detailed present implications besides indicating possible future developments that can or will impact dark tourism management and development. Due to the multidimensional nature of the approached constructs, we conducted an exploratory study because it gives researchers the ability to synthesize multiple points of view and harness unique erspectives while still allowing us to introduce rigor and objectivity into the analysis and discussion. This chapter contributes to a deeper understanding of dark tourism management and development by providing a novel conceptual framework. Nevertheless, some constraints exist when one seeks to carry out an exploratory study because when plunging into new realities, it is only possible to formulate hypotheses. The results, however, represent a theoretical advance for dark tourism studies and provide valuable insights into how it can be better managed and developed.
- Enhancing green capability in the hospitality sector through nudging: A conceptual frameworkPublication . Martins, Marco; Guerra, Ricardo J. da Costa; Santos, Lara; Lopes, Luisa; Conde, Ana RitaTourism activities bring on considerable environmental costs, consequently, tourism is not only a climate change victim but also responsible for a significant percentage of the world’s carbon emissions. Due to people’s growing concern with environmental issues, the hospitality sector has been trying to reduce its environmental impact and at the same time managing to improve their green capability. One of the initiatives involved implementing a choice-architecture tool known as nudge. Nudging allows for effortlessly steering people in a desired direction; therefore, how can we promote ‘greener’ consumer behaviour in the hospitality industry through nudging and thereby reduce the industry’s impact on climate change. In order to answer to this question a conceptual methodology was chosen. Such method enables to raise questions and hypotheses that will enlarge the discussion’s scope on green capabilities and on nudge in the hospitality sector. Moreover, a novel theoretical framework for green capabilities is presented. This framework will help to implement nudge in a way that this can work as an accelerator for green capacity building in the hospitality sector. However, we must also refer to the fact that our study being conceptual is like all conceptual studies heavily dependent on the researcher’s own perspectives and experiences.
- Pedestrianismo e turismo no Vale do Tua: Estudo exploratório sobre atributos, motivações e satisfaçãoPublication . Esteves, Salete; Lopes, Luisa; Quintão, Ronan; Santos, LaraAs características, motivações e satisfação em percursos pedestres e turismo de caminhada raramente são recolhidas e analisadas por forma a melhorar o planeamento e gestão destas iniciativas. Este estudo dirige-se a essa lacuna e tem por objetivos: estabelecer o perfil sociodemográfico do pedestrianista, avaliar as suas motivações e grau de satisfação, analisar o efeito das variáveis sociodemográficas sobre as motivações e grau de satisfação. Foi realizado um inquérito por questionário online junto dos 805 inscritos, sendo que o questionário foi preenchido por 243 participantes, onde 238 respostas foram consideradas válidas, resultando numa taxa de resposta de aproximadamente 30%. Os participantes, maioritariamente entre os 40 e 59 anos, com ensino superior, trabalham por conta de outrem, têm experiência em eventos similares e são acompanhados por amigos e/ou companheiro/a. Os principais motivos para a participação são "mudar para um ambiente diferente e ter novas experiências" e "estar com amigos e desenvolver amizades". A satisfação global com o evento, transversal a diferentes indivíduos com diferentes atributos, foi elevada e a maioria dos participantes pretende regressar na próxima edição, refletindo o sucesso do festival. A aplicabilidade dos resultados da pesquisa e as sugestões de melhoria, provenientes dos inquiridos, permitem a evolução do evento formulando estratégias socialmente relevantes e sensíveis às preferências dos participantes e comunidades locais.
