Perspectiva de desarrollo turístico a través del surfing”, señala que dicha tesis reúne, por su originalidad y rigor, los requisitos precisos desde la perspectiva académica para que proceda a su defensa y lectura. Fuenlabrada, diecisiete de septiembre de 2015 Fdo.: Octavio Uña Juárez AGRADECIMIENTOS Siempre he considerado que soy una persona que fluye por la vida sin marcarse objetivos demasiado concretos, aunque, quizás este proyecto haya sido diferente. Después de tras haberlo dejado en standby varias veces y retomarlo mil veces más, llegó un día en el que todo cambió. Una oferta laboral que a punto estuvo de no permitirme escribir estas líneas. Para todo hay un elemento catalizador y, para este proyecto fue la elección entre recorrer el mundo de comercial o acabar esta tesis. Como buen hijo único, preferí intentar poner cimientos que ayuden a cumplir mi sueño y decidí no ayudar a cumplir el de otros. Estaré siempre eternamente agradecido a mis padres, por educarme como persona y permitirme el lujo de poder instruirme sin que el aspecto económico fuese un problema. Me han brindado la oportunidad de ser libre en cuanto al camino de mi formación académica, sin reprochar o ni tan siquiera preguntar si existe un retorno de inversión cuando uno se matricula en sociología.

    2013 Construction Report North America 23 Hotel Waterpark Projects Open in 2013 By Jeff Coy, ISHC December 2, 2013 --- Twenty-three (23) waterpark resort projects opened in the USA during 2013, a 8.0% increase over last year. This compares with 20 in 2012, 27 in 2011 and the record high of 40 in 2007. Thirteen (13) projects were brand names such as Hyatt, Marriott, Great Wolf, Wet ‘n Wild, Carnival Cruise and Norwegian Cruise Lines, and 10 projects were independent owner projects. Fourteen (14) projects were new openings, and 9 were expansions of existing properties. While money is just beginning to loosen up for hotel developers, new hotel construction is still rather flat, but resort acquisitions and expansions are rising.

  • Testing and Training Lifeguard Visual Search
    Testing and Training Lifeguard Visual Search By Victoria Alice Laxton A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Nottingham Trent University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.

Abstract Lifeguards play a crucial role in drowning prevention. However, current U.K. lifeguard qualifications are limited in training and assessing visual surveillance skills, and little is known about how lifeguards successfully detect drowning swimmers. To improve our understanding of lifeguard visual search skill, and explore the potential for improving this skill through training, this thesis had the following aims: (a) to identify whether visual skills for drowning detection improve with lifeguard experience, (b) to understand why such differences occur, and (c) design and valid a visual training intervention to improve drowning detection on the basis of these results. The first two studies investigated drowning-detection skills of participants with differing levels of lifeguard experience in a dynamic search task with simulated drownings. Lifeguards were found to detect drownings faster and more often than non-lifeguards. In three follow-up studies these results were replicated with more naturalistic stimuli. Video footage from an American wave pool was extracted, which showed genuine instances of swimmer distress.

  • Desarrollo Turístico a Través Del Surf
    Citar: Apellidos, N. (2015) "Título", en: González García, E.; García Muñiz, A.; García Sansano, J. e Iglesias Villalobos, L. (Coords.). Mundos emergentes: cambios, conflictos y expectativas. Toledo: ACMS, pp. .... DESARROLLO TURÍSTICO A TRAVÉS DEL SURF Diego Santos. Asociación Castellano-Manchega de Sociología (ACMS) RESUMEN Que el surf está de moda es una realidad que puede verificar cualquier persona que haya tenido la oportunidad de acercarse, recientemente, a alguna de las playas de nuestro país. Si bien el ejemplo más común en la época estival es el de personas que utilizan esta práctica, en cualquiera de sus múltiples modalidades, como forma de entretenimiento, en realidad existe un colectivo a lo largo de todo el mundo que responde a un comportamiento subcultural en torno a esta práctica: el surf como estilo de vida. Esta realidad subcultural fue estudiada por Stephen Wayne (1976) quién se aproximó a esta subcultura desde la perspectiva cualitativa, describiendo el proceso de “Convertirse en surfista” y desde la perspectiva cuantitativa, elaborando un Índice de Implicación en el Surf con el que el establecer tipologías de surfistas según su grado de implicación. Profundizaremos en la práctica del surf desde esta realidad subcultural, haciendo un repaso histórico desde el nacimiento del surf moderno. Como veremos, la evolución del surf estará muy ligada al turismo, y a la influencia externa de los nuevos territorios por los que se expande, no pudiendo tampoco obviar, desde el punto de vista sociológico, la influencia de los desarrollos tecnológicos y sociales globales.
