HI 96720 USA, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Volcanoes and other sites of dynamic natural processes have long attracted tourists, but they can also be dangerous sites that risk the health and well- being of visitors. This study examines tourist perceptions of risk and enjoyment in volcanic areas on Hawaii Island. Specifically this study involved interviews with tourists within and outside Hawai Volcanoes National Park to gauge their sense of safety at volcanic sites as well as their satisfaction with the tourism experience. The study found that despite frequent injuries and even fatalities near the volcano, there is both a high level of tourist satisfaction as well as a low level of perceived risk. The success of tourism in this area can be attributed to the fact that the tourist areas can be divided into different

  • Tourism Development in Alcântara (Lisbon): a Case Study and a Survey1
    Environment and Society, N2, December, 2020, pp. 1-21 Tourism development in Alcântara (Lisbon): A case study and a survey1 Luca Zarrilli2 University “G. D’Annunzio” of Chieti-Pescara, Department of Economic Studies, Pescara, Italy Miguel Brito3 Estoril Higher Institute for Tourism and Hotel Studies, Estoril, Portugal Abstract The tourist image of Lisbon and its uniqueness was shaped through the existence of “popular neighbourhoods”, spaces of intense and unchangeable social life where the elements of cultural life are present as a landmark of each different space. Alcântara, Bica, Alfama, Mouraria, and Madragoa are examples of traditional Lisbon neighbourhoods, which today continue to be closely associated with specific representations of the city and of its people’s ways of life within the city. As part of the tourism development that Lisbon has been experiencing in recent years, one of the emerging neighbourhoods is Alcântara, a former industrial district that is currently undergoing a functional reconversion. Situated by the river Tagus, next to the museum district of Lisbon (Belém), and not far from the town centre (Baixa), it presents a different tourist supply: besides the traditional local heritage, composed of monuments, palaces and museums, it is probably the best district of Lisbon to recall the industrial era, its buildings, activities and ways of life. This article deals with the transition process of the neighbourhood from an economic fabric based on industry to a tertiary type of area, within which a special reference to the tourism sector is given. As a reaction to the increasing demand of the tourists, several hotels, apartments and other types of local accommodation have emerged in the neighbourhood.

    Continuing previous meetings: Forum Carpaticum 2010 (Krakow, Poland), Forum Carpaticum 2012 (Stará Lesná, Slovakia), Forum Carpaticum 2014 (Lviv, Ukraine), Forum Carpaticum 2016 (Bucharest, Romania) addresses the need to make a bridge of smart sustainable development in the Carpathians with scientists, stakeholders, institutions, NGOs, communities. The Carpathian Region – the Green Backbone of Europe – faces many opportunities as well as challenges to the future development of the area. The stakeholders, decision makers and research communities can use them wisely for the enhanced protection and sustainable development of the Carpathians. These overall goals meet well with the EU 2020 Cohesion Policy, which proposes “Smart”, “Sustainable” and “Inclusive” to be the keywords when addressing the main priorities for the near future. Forum Carpaticum 2016 „Future of the Carpathians: Smart, Sustainable, Inclusive“ proposes to concentrate on these priorities and to debate how they can be implemented in the Carpathian Region, during the following main thematic sessions: Smart Carpathians session aims to present and discuss the leading edge achievements in: recent and future information and communication technologies; emerging paradigms and methodological developments; front-rank research infrastructures, capacities and innovations; open knowledge, information and data systems applications, in particular those of Carpathian interest.

    Theoretical and Applied Economics Volume XX (2013), No. 6(583), pp. 7-34 Integrated marketing communication in tourism – an analysis. Case study: Muntenia and Oltenia Aurelia-Felicia STĂNCIOIU The Bucharest University of Economic Studies [email protected] Andreea BOTOŞ The Bucharest University of Economic Studies [email protected] Mihai ORZAN The Bucharest University of Economic Studies [email protected] Ion PÂRGARU Polytechnic University of Bucharest [email protected] Octavian ARSENE The Bucharest University of Economic Studies [email protected] Abstract. The multitude of factors interfering in the process of image formation and the way in which they act in a unique combination, similar to a genetic code for a consumer, influences the image study of a tourism destination in the direction of becoming a complex process. In the marketing activity of each destination, the analysis of the importance of destination’s resources represents an essential step, however, as the multifaceted tourism product presents (in combination with, as well as through other policies – price, distribution etc.) a strong diversification, the distinction between the real, objective situation of the destination’s resources and the lack of their communication, on the one hand, and the distinction between the real situation and the way in which the resources are “presented” (in the direction of maximising or minimising them), on 8 Aurelia-Felicia Stăncioiu, Andreea Botoș, Mihai Orzan, Ion Pârgaru, Octavian Arsene the other hand, can constitute

  • Discover Lisbon with Our Guide!
    The 7th Conference of European Survey Research Association welcomes you to the fashionable city of Lisbon! Lisbon, the most westerly capital in mainland Europe, is one of the few cities in the world to offer a unique natural landscape. It’s for sure one of the most impressively located, with a series of hills facing the Tejo estuary, one of the sunniest and probably one of the least expensive cities to discover. Being a city built on hills, from the various belvederes, installed in the highest points, can enjoy breathtaking views. We highlight the castle of S. Jorge, where we reach the cacilheiros in their crossing to the south bank, the 25th April bridge, Rossio, Carmo convent, Bairro Alto, Eduardo VII park, among other points of the city. Alongside the old city, with a very rich heritage, Lisbon is also a modern city that has been renewed in new cultural and leisure proposals. In this document you can find out more about the places you cannot miss in this city – excursions, restaurants and bars, among others.

  • From Geomorphosite Evaluation to Geotourism Interpretation
    GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites, Year VI, no. 2, vol. 12, November 2013, pp. 145-162 ISSN 2065-0817, E-ISSN 2065-1198 Article no. 12107-128 FROM GEOMORPHOSITE EVALUATION TO GEOTOURISM INTERPRETATION. CASE STUDY: THE SPHINX OF ROMANIA’S SOUTHERN CARPATHIANS Irina-Maria NECHEŞ* University of Bucharest, Faculty of Geography, Department of Human and Economic Geography, 1 Nicolae Bălcescu Blvd, 010041, Bucharest, Romania; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Geomorphosites are commonly regarded as landforms that are mainly defined by their scientific value. Prior to assuming the existence of a “geomorphosite”, however, the scientific value of landforms must be determined. The study comprises three major steps. The first of them implies the identification and classification of the intrinsic geo(morpho)logical characteristics of landforms, some of which are readily identifiable and quantifiable by tourists and scientists alike, whereas others are noticeable and deducible only by scientists. The second step employs a numerical methodology for assessing the scientific value of landforms which, once ascertained, also acquires a significant educational importance for geotourism. The third step and final goal is the development of a logical scheme for the scientific interpretation of a geomorphosite’s origin and evolution and its brief application on the most representative of the erosional landforms on the Bucegi plateau of Romania’s Southern Carpathians – the Sphinx. Key words: geomorphosites, landforms, intrinsic characteristics, geotourism, interpretation, the Sphinx, Southern Carpathians * * * * * * INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF GEOMORPHOSITES. A BRIEF HISTORY OF RESEARCH Large-scale tourism practices around the world determine a progressive overflowing and degradation of natural areas. One of the early measures undertaken in order to limit the negative impact of mass tourism was the establishment of protected natural areas and natural monuments, and the foundation of national parks and reserves.

This work would have been poorer and uglier and a lot less composed if you hadn’t been here to help me direct it. Thank you. My humblest thank you to my mother, father, and sister, for their unending support and resilience in enduring an entire year of Death-Related Fun Facts (and perhaps a month of grumpiness as the deadline grew closer and greater and fiercer in the horizon). We’ve pulled through. Thank you. My clumsiest thank you to my people (aka friends), for that same aforementioned resilience, but also for the constant willingness to bear ideological arms and share my anger at the little things gone wrong. I don’t know what I would have done without the 24/7 online support group that is our friendship. Thank you. Last, but not least, my endless thank you to Professor Fernando Pedro Figueiredo and Professor Maria José Pinto da Costa, for their attention to detail during the incredible learning moment that was my thesis examination.
