Tourist Flow Management: Social Impact Evaluation through Social Network Analysis

Sustainability

The present paper was prompted by the activity carried out within the scope of an EU-funded project (WARMEST). It calls to analyse the reasons for the degradation of the Patio de Los Leones, which attracts over 2 million tourists per year to Granada in Spain. We review here the most advanced studies and regulations on the assessment of the social impact of mass tourism and present a novel methodology to analyse its effects. We dug into the material available on social networks—especially feedback to posts published on major relevant sites—and got a comprehensive picture of the thoughts that were expressed there and a comprehensive assessment of the citizens’ opinion on the social impact of tourism in Granada. Thus, we obtained a new indicator called “C.1.2 index modified”, which measures the level of dissatisfaction of citizens with the tourists’ pressure; we propose to replace the existing ETIS index with C.1.2, which is mainly based on direct surveys that are often carried out wit...

In this study, the presence and management of the social networks of 78 tourist destinations were analyzed for the development of sustainable tourism, with particular attention being paid to Spanish smart destinations. The variables for the empirical analysis were determined from a literature review, and it was concluded from a descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and an analysis of variance, that although the presence of tourist destinations on the internet and on social networks was notable, their management was inadequate for the development of sustainable tourist destinations. It was shown that there is a direct relationship between the number of visitors at a tourist destination and its presence on social networks. However, our analyses found that this correlation was not related to social network management; a greater number of visitors were not related to the effective management of social networks. It was concluded that smart destinations, despite having a technologica...

The recent growth in scale and relevance of social networks has generated new possibilities for communication and interaction with and among their users in the tourism sector. As Spain is among the world's top tourism destinations, it is valuable to study its presence and engagement with users of official social networks. These social networks are used to promote Spain as a tourist destination. This study's methodology focused on measuring a series of indicators of destination performance through the online analysis tool 'Fanpage Karma'. Data were obtained for each of the last four full years (2015 to 2018), with the purpose of deepening understanding of destination performance, including its evolution. The findings show that Facebook's importance increasingly declined, despite maintaining a large number of followers, it has seen reduced publications and, above all, less interactions with users. By contrast, Instagram has experienced continuous growth in promoting Spain as a tourist destination, demonstrating increasing levels of interaction with potential travellers. Implications for academia and industry are drawn from the findings.

This new book in the series Advances in Tourism Economics provides a series of interesting studies on the socio-economic impacts of tourism, with a special focus on the determinants of tourism competitiveness at the destination level. The 16 chapters of the book offer a systematic perspective for these important questions, presenting relevant empirical studies from different parts of the world, based on modern theoretical approaches and adequate analysis tools, with a view to their policy or managerial implications. The book is organised in three parts. The first part is oriented to the analysis and assessment of quantitative tourism impacts on local economies, presenting ade- quate methodologies for different aspects of the tourism activities. Questions related to the identification of different patterns of propensity to travel among different tourism issuing markets, effects of seasonal fluctuations of demand, sectorial economic effects, impacts of the organisation of major cultural events and potential benefits of tourism for small rural communities will be analysed. The second part of the book is focused on the role of innovation and human resources as crucial elements to increase the competitiveness of a tourism destina- tion and to maximize the benefits of tourism at the local level. This part starts with a discussion of the relation between the ability to innovate and tourism competitive- ness at national level, followed by the analysis of questions related to social capital, human capital, type of leadership and labour competences, analysed at local level. Finally, this chapter concludes with a discussion on the importance of strategic management for innovation and human resources management at company level. The final part of the book zooms in on different dynamics often observed in tourism destinations, arising from the interaction between tourists and local com- munities. This part includes a discussion of the social legitimacy of tourism in the face of its positive and negative impacts, an analysis of intermodal processes of competition among transportation modes and a discussion on methods for loca- tional decisions in the hotel sector. The perceptions and evaluations of local communities regarding the classification of World Heritage Sites or the organisa- tion of major cultural events are also analysed at destination level and the book concludes with an original analysis of the role of tourism influencing the cultural and political values of tourists when operating in a different societal context.

This paper analyses the Tourist Routes in Portugal from a point of view of social policy, specifically focusing in the evaluation procedures and from there deriving conclusions about the management of those routes. The methodology has two parts – first the basic framework of evaluating programs in social policy is defined; secondly the Tourist routes in Portugal are described. After that, the routes are analysed according the evaluation methodology. We find out that the routes are evaluated, when this happens, by very basic results methods, which suggests that the routes are made by political or administrative or even marketing considerations and not by economic reasons. We also found that most of the routes are managed by municipal councils, on a shared basis, and their enjoyment is mostly free. The evaluation of results of the routes is made in an unreliable way. Signaled routes are in the minority, and route promotion is done using information technologies, but leaflets are not d...

Clustering of tourism-related activities leads to tourism gentrification because of urban tourism. This study proposes a methodology for identifying pattern of tourism intensification in cities. The main objectives were to conduct an in-depth measurement of tourism intensification and to consider the conflict of interest between stakeholders involved. The proposed indicator system is based on several variables measured by neighbourhoods as territorial units: citizen initiatives, population and tourist accommodations and facilities. All indicators were tested in two Spanish port cities: Malaga and Valencia. Geographic Information System mapping showed common patterns in both cities, such as tertiary use concentrated in the old town, new tourist offers around it, and emerging clusters far away. Statistical analysis showed a high spatial correlation between neighbourhoods with several citizen initiatives and a wide range of Airbnb listings or cultural facilities. The spatial analysis a...

In the context of economic globalization, the rapid transmission of network information, people’s attention to tourism culture perspective has changed significantly; new and popular tourism projects are more favored. In order to avoid large-scale crowding and waste of resources in tourist attractions, it is a hot topic in the field of tourism to study the spatial and temporal distribution of tourist flows. By analyzing the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of tourist flow in scenic spots, this paper constructs a big data platform based on tourist flow information, and proposes a data mining technology based on the DA-HKRVM algorithm to predict the tourist flow in the dimension of spatial and temporal distribution. By feeding the forecast results back to the staff of scenic spots in real time, the scale of passenger flow distribution can be effectively controlled, the purpose of balanced distribution of tourism resources can be achieved, and the development of intelligent tourism can be further promoted. The simulation result shows that the spatial-temporal distribution model of tourist flow based on data mining has good adaptability and accuracy in application. It shows that the method proposed in this paper can reduce the negative impact caused by the uneven spatial and temporal distribution of tourism flow, and can provide theoretical guidance for the efficient development of tourism economy.

Business tourist flow from India to Moscow on the rise: Evgeny Kozlov

Business + Leisure Travel and MICE 2023 opened on 29 th of September with a keynote speech from the Chairman of The Moscow City Tourism Committee, Evgeny Kozlov. In his speech, the Chairman spoke about the potential for MICE and business tourism in Moscow and the growing number of Indian businessmen who are choosing Moscow as their preferred destination for business events.

Evgeny Kozlov highlighted that the number of business tourists is expected to grow in the coming years. One of the factors supporting the growth of interest from Indian businessmen was the launch of electronic visa program. From August 1, 2023, it has become easier for Indian citizens to organize a trip to Moscow – they can come simply by applying for an electronic visa. The validity period of an e-visa is 60 days from the date of its issuance. You can stay with it in Russia for 16 days. An e-visa has several advantages over a traditional visa. To obtain it, you do not need to go to consulates or embassies, and the only documents required are a digital photograph of your face and a scan of the page with your passport data.

“Before the pandemic, the tourist flow from India grew by 12-15 percent annually. Now we are on the road to recovery – all the conditions have been created for this. Every year hundreds of international exhibitions, forums, congresses and conferences are held in Moscow. Over the past year, about 3.5 million people visited the capital for business purposes and a significant share of them are from India” – he said.

Evgeny Kozlov emphasized that Moscow is a growing hub for international business events and Indian businessmen could benefit from attending these events to expand their network and explore potential business opportunities. The Moscow MICE Ambassadors program, which also premiered at the exhibition, aims to promote Moscow as a preferred destination for business tourism, and Indian businessmen who have completed the program can serve as valuable resources for organizing conferences and events in Moscow. Furthermore, Moscow offers a range of world-class facilities and services for business travelers, including conference centers, hotels, transportation, and sightseeing. He also mentioned that Moscow’s rich cultural heritage and vibrant nightlife could provide Indian businessmen with unique experiences that could enhance their overall business trip.

In conclusion, Evgeny Kozlov expressed his optimism for the future of MICE and business tourism in Moscow. Thus, in October 2023, Moscow will host the largest MICE Congress in Russia. Among the participants are 14 countries, including Indians. The event will provide a platform for businesses in the travel and tourism industry to showcase their products and services.

Business Tourist Flow from India to Moscow is One of the Most Numerous – Evgeny Kozlov

The Moscow City Tourism Committee revealed that Indian businessmen are paying ever growing attention to Russia and its capital, as over the last 2 years the MICE tourist flow from India has grown to become one of the most numerous groups among all foreign business tourists outside the CIS countries.
