  • Effects of Social Media on Enotourism. Two Cases Study: Okanagan Valley (Canada) and Somontano (Spain)
    sustainability Article Effects of Social Media on Enotourism. Two Cases Study: Okanagan Valley (Canada) and Somontano (Spain) F. J. Cristófol 1 , Gorka Zamarreño Aramendia 2,* and Jordi de-San-Eugenio-Vela 3 1 ESIC, Business & Marketing School, Market Research and Quantitative Methods Department, 28223 Pozuelo de Alarcón (Madrid), Spain; [email protected] 2 Department of Theory and Economic History, University Malaga, 29013 Malaga, Spain 3 Communication Department, University of Vic; 08500 Vic, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-607-91-40-68 Received: 30 July 2020; Accepted: 17 August 2020; Published: 19 August 2020 Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyze the social media effects on enotourism. Two territories of similar extension and with historical coincidences in their development have been selected: the Okanagan Valley, Canada, and the region of Somontano, Spain. Methodologically, an analysis of the content on Twitter has been performed, collecting 1377 tweets. The conclusion is that wineries create sentimental and experiential links with the users, avoiding commercial communications. Specifically, Okanagan wineries establish a relevant conversation network on Twitter based on the high percentage of responses, which is 31.3%, but this is not so in the case of Somontano, which is 12.8%. The tourist attractions most used to create a bond are the wine landscape and the gastronomy in the case of both territories. The tourism sustainability variable remains a minor matter in the emission of messages on Twitter. Keywords: social network analysis; sustainable tourism; web 2.0; enotourism; Twitter; Somontano wines; Okanagan Valley wines; wines of British Columbia 1.

  • Some Reflections on the Relation Between Toponymy and Geography
    Some reflections on the relation between toponymy and geography Joan TORT-DONADA 1. Introduction I shall base my reflections here on two basic premises: a) that place names, or toponyms, have by definition a geographical scope and meaning (in the sense that, necessarily, they refer or have referred to a part of the physical space that surrounds us); and b) that if place names are the object of study of toponymy, and the space that sur- rounds is geography’s essential raison d’être, there must necessarily be a significant relationship between one discipline and the other (and, therefore, an undeniable interest for the scholar). The adoption of these two premises does not imply that place names, or toponyms, cannot be considered from other perspectives of analysis. Yet, what it does imply is that the specific starting point of our study is, explicitly, a willingness to explore our understanding of the geographical dimen- sion of toponymy. Following on from this introduction, I shall organise this study around five main points and a concluding note. I begin with some general considerations about toponymy and geography, and a discus- sion of the affinities between the two fields. Then, I tackle a theo- retical aspect that I believe should be taken into careful consideration in the analysis of place names: the relation between the toponym and place. I then deal with a problem that is very closely linked to this: the difficulty of defining the toponym (or place name). From here, I go on to examine the tools offered by geography, as a field espe- cially concerned with the study of space (and, in particular, with the study of the inhabited space), for undertaking research in toponymy; specifically, I examine three methodological principles which, I believe, allow us to examine in-depth the relation between names and the territory: the principle of transparency, that of exceptionality and finally territorial significance.

  • Barcelona Is Much More
    DISCOVER WINE TOURISM BARCELONA IS MUCH MORE DISCOVER THE JOYS OF WINE TOURISM Although it may seem a modern form of tourism, wine tourism has actually been popular in the Barcelona regions for some time. Back in the early 20th century, our grandparents visited the cellers in a covered trap that ran between the train station and the winery. Another popular custom was to go to a winery on public holidays, where, if you bought something, they would let you cook your own food. That's a thing of the past now and many wineries cater for organised tours, not just to promote their products, but also to familiarise visitors with the world of wine and cava. Some establishments, country houses and winery hotels offer programmes that enable visitors to join in with the work, enjoy wine therapy treatments and take part in tastings and pairings with wine as the star. And for those who like to keep moving, wine tourism offers the chance to do some hiking or cycling on signposted paths through vineyards a stone's throw from Barcelona. Thanks to all this, Barcelona is much more: a destination full of surprises! If you are a lover of fine wine or simply curious about them, you should know that Barcelona has five designations of origin: Penedès, Alella, Pla de Bages, Catalunya and Cava. Each of them produces high- quality wine and cava. At some wineries quality wine is coupled with beautiful PHOTOGRAPHS: architecture because they are Caves Codorníu, Sant Sadurní d’Anoia either Art Nouveau buildings Caves Codorníu, Sant Sadurní d’Anoia from the early 20th Century Vineyards, Vilassar de Dalt or avant-garde structures Mas de Sant Iscle, Sant Fruitós de Bages Caves Freixenet, Sant Sadurní d’Anoia designed by prestigious Vineyards, El Penedès architects.

LUCRĂRILE SEMINARULUI GEOGRAFIC “DIMITRIE CANTEMIR” NR. 40, 2015 CONSUMER’S ROLE IN ENOTOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA Aliona Mardare1 Abstract. The increased demand for enotourism can be explained by the growing interest of consumers in culturally orientated activities: holidays become an opportunity for them to get trained, to develop their knowledge in several areas. The heritage, whether material (architecture) or intangible (customs, traditions), has an increasingly important role in the choice of touristic destinations and activities. The Republic of Moldova tends to become an enotourism destination and in order to have a marketing oriented on winery products promotion and sales, it is necessary to know the consumer’s expectations and behavior. Keywords: enotourism, demand, enotourism offer, enotourists, wine. 1.
