Análisis del gasto de los turistas que acceden a España por avión

El sector turístico se ha convertido en una de las principales actividades económicas tanto a nivel regional, nacional como mundial. Por otro lado, el transporte aéreo ha contribuido en gran manera a este desarrollo, incluyendo potencias mundiales como España, donde tres de cada cuatro turistas acceden por este medio. Una de las razones que ha favorecido esta situación son las aerolíneas de bajo coste. En este trabajo se analizará y comparará el gasto y su distribución de los turistas que acceden a España con estas aerolíneas y con las tradicionales. Dicho conocimiento será de gran utilidad para el desarrollo de estrategias de promoción y marketing en el destino turístico, así como en la mejora de la caracterización del mismo.

¿La cultura es un factor que influye en la percepción de las marcas? :Caso: La imagen de marca-país de México entre los turistas españoles

Aquest treball presenta un model comparatiu d’anàlisis de la marca en base a l’inconscient col•lectiu, teoria desenvolupada per C. G. Jung (1991), adequat per Sabrine Dornelles (2010) a l’estudi de les marques comercials i contrastat en aquest treball amb la proposta d’aproximació al Perfil Arquetípic Azteca. Per aquesta raó, s’ha realitzat una revisió bibliográfica en referencia a l’objecte de l’estudi del posicionament de la marca, i en especial, dels atributs vinculats al perfil azteca. Amb l’objectiu de conèixer si la cultura influeix o no, en la percepció d’una marca, s’ha realitzat un pre-test via online amb subjectes de nacionalitat espanyola i de països d’Amèrica llatina (Argentina, Colòmbia, Equador, Perú, República Dominicana i Veneçuela) per al grup de control. 5 Els resultats han sigut tractats tant a nivell d’estadística descriptiva com a mode inferencial. Les dades amb significació p≤ 0,05 mostren els estímuls (atributs) que foren associats o no, amb la marca del país Mèxic. Mentre que l’arquetip occidental (grec) va permetre en major percentatge valorar la marca amb tots els subjectes (espanyols, mexicans i llatins) l’arquetip prehispànic no dóna significació suficient amb els espanyols i llatins, però en canvi aporta matisos en el cas dels mexicans. En referència a l’esmenta’t anteriorment , cal que el proper pas sigui millorar el perfil d’arquetipus azteca.

Natal como destino turístico : um estudo das imagens (re)veladas pela mídia, pelos turistas e suas implicações educacionais e culturais

This thesis is a result of a research on Natal/RN as a tourist destination. We understand that cities are chosen as tourist destinations beyond its cartographic localization, from other dimensions of meanings that, in its set, constitute images. These images are, probably, very different of the images constructed by native and resident populations, who possess relations of identity with the place. The knowledge of the meanings that others attribute to this city as tourist destination, bring us near to the symbolic bonds established by individuals or social groups on the act of their choices, as well as bring us near to the interaction process city-tourists where the expectations are confirmed or not. The images divulgated by the media also participate of the complex formation of the tourist image that is being constructed and available for the different public, in different social contexts. The tourism constitutes a symbolic asset of the modern society, being considered by the studious, as one of the most expressive phenomena of the modernity, for involving each year displacement and the interaction of thousand of people of different cultures in the entire world. All this people s mobilization points to practical social related to personal motivations, to the entailed desired to the idea to travel and to exceed borders. It is already consensus that tourism is a phenomenon of economic growth, generating jobs, income, professional, qualification, bringing improvements for the host cities. Since 1995, in Brazil, the tourism as a sector of the economy, passed to be considered one of the national priorities, and in this perspective, the national politics of the tourism invested in infrastructure of Brazilian cities with high tourist potential, objecting to increase the flows of Brazilian and foreign tourists. Owing to this fact, the country still invests in programs of tourist marketing, mainly divulging the images of the natural beauties of Brazil abroad. And for Brazilians, the campaigns appeal to rescue the feeling to be Brazilian, associating the idea to travel and know its country. Natal city possesses an excellent positioning in the tourist marketing, being predominantly divulgated in national and international level, for its naturalistic singularity, where the images of its natural enchantments as warm water beaches, white dunes, warm weather, constant breeze and an always blue sky are shown as the favorite scene on this city. From what was viewed above that the choice of a tourist destination articulates from a determined imaginary of a place, already constructed or in process of construction, we consider the knowledge of this imaginary a basic learning for the population of the city and especially, for educators, in the formation of professionals in this area and for tourism managers, elaborators of public politics. Based on this estimative, we developed this research that had as a general objective to identify the images that illustrate Natal city as a tourist destination - our objective of study, particularly the meanings and senses attributed by the tourist marketing (hotel s folders) and by the tourists that visited the city during this study. The discussions and reflections that had guided this research had been given from the theoretical link between imaginary and social representation, also considering some interfaces between the fields of communication and symbol. From the studied authors, Baczko (1985) clarifies that the study of social imaginary is directed for the mechanisms and structures of the social life, especially for the intervention accomplishes and efficient of the representations and symbols in the practical collectives, as well as in its direction and orientation . Following this same thought, Moscovici (1978) says that the social representation are produced in communicational and symbolic contexts, and these representations once that already constituted circulate socially as almost tangible entities. Based on this fundament and on the analyze of Barthes (1990), particularly in the approach given to the reading of photographic image, we could observe on hotel s folders that each page evidences senses and meanings of functionality of internal and external spaces, pointing to the way of leisure offered by the keepers of city which is the hotels. About, the leisure that they offer, it is directed to young public, giving meaning to the young myth of personalized leisure tourism on children, young and adults images. The image about security that hotels offer and the singular image of Natal city as a paradise place, provide an idealization of pleasure through the sun, dunes, and beaches and also due to the hospitability of the natives who are assigned as educated . For the tourist that participated on this research, Natal city is tied only by the imaginary of leisure and nature which constitute the emotional link of the relation media-city-tourist. And with such force and fullness of directions the city discloses without tensions and contradictions as a place protected by a mythical and sacred aura. The study also demonstrates us that the potiguar culture remains (almost) forgotten, due to the silenced in this imaginary. In this perspective, we highlight that this culture silence is very close related to the disvalue of education in its general meaning. We defend that the imaginary apprehended constitutes a new reading and a new looking and understanding the tourist reality that comes historically consolidating in this city. In this direction, we glimpse that this study and its future dismemberments can collaborate with the process of rescue the cultural values of the potiguar people, in the way that the meaning of tourist may be redefined, and the tourist image of the city can be also disclosed for its identities particularities of its culture

The model has a R2 of 0.6430 and the also check in service, cleaness of the apartment and the hotel in general, bedroom setting have colinearity with some factors entering the model. The loyalty model results with satisfaction, affective commitment as the main factors affecting loyalty, with a R2 0.5396, and also image has collinearity with satisfaction. A small part of the sample has complained and this factor was not considered in the models. The results are consistent with the literature in term of quality as the main driver of the satisfaction and that it is not the only one factor to explain loyalty
