Dynamic pricing is a response to fluctuations in demand for a product or service making it possible for hospitality companies to have a better performance. Demand generators such as events have a heavy impact in hospitality performance because they create demand that otherwise would not occur. Portugal has seen an exponential growth in tourism in the past years and major events play an important role in investment decisions, both private and governmental. The Web Summit is an annual technology event held in November. Lisbon has been the chosen city for the past three years, 2019 making it the fourth.Literature has focused its attention mostly on the impact of cultural or sports events, such as the Olympics, revealing positive long-term impacts on performance. It is fundamental to understand what the exact impact of these type of events -business fairs -have in the local economy in order to justify investments.Methodology: daily data collected from STR allow for a comparative study between hotel performance before and after the Web Summit. We compare the 3 years prior to the event and the last three years of the event, taking place in Lisbon. The sample size is 63 hospitality companies that range from Economy to Upper Midscale Class and data of ARD, RevPAR and Occupancy.Results show that on the dates of the event ADR and RevPAR increase 115% and occupancy 21% when compared to the previous year. However, on the third year of the event, 2018, these numbers do not see the same increase and remain somewhat similar to the previous year, 2017. This shows that there is major impact on hotel performance justifying the interest governments and other tourism agencies have in attracting these types of events.
The aim of the paper focus on identifying those factors involved in the competitive success of hotel companies and the interrelations between them, taking into account the socio-economic influence that these companies might have on Andalusian region and the few studies carried out in tourism sector so far. The study tries to specify an econometric model that may include factors that appear as mechanisms for the generation of competitive advantage. The research model allows us to identify the relative impact of the "industry factor" and the company's own specific factors, "hotel intangible resources", on competitive success.
El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo principal investigar cómo se percibe la imagen del destino a través del patrimonio cultural y, a su vez, conocer si su percepción invita al turista a regresar o a recomendar la ciudad de Quito. La investigación se realizó mediante un estudio empírico, con enfoque cuantitativo, donde se encuestaron a turistas nacionales y extranjeros que visitaban los principales atractivos culturales de la Ciudad. Mediante un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales se identifica y explica las relaciones entre ciertas variables para validar las hipótesis planteadas. Los resultados de la investigación proporcionan nuevos conocimientos sobre la importancia que la calidad y la satisfacción, derivada de la visita al patrimonio cultural de Quito, y el grado de influencia que la imagen del destino género en el turistas, determinando que el turista tiene intención de recomendar el destino a terceros, pero no influye directamente en la intención de regresar o volver a visitar en un futuro cercano nuevamente la Ciudad, por lo tanto, se debe alertar a la administración pública y gestores de destinos para consolidar esfuerzos por mejorar la percepción global que experimenta el turista en el destino, con la finalidad de superar sus expectativas en el sitio.
Landscape is a fundamental element in tourism and its promotion. Generally, the importance of a landscape in the processes of tourism development and its sustainability is unknown. In this sense, this study describes the evolution of the concept of tourism, analyzes the relationship between tourism and landscape, its valorization and landscape stereotypes. To respond to these objectives, a bibliographic review was carried out in high impact and regional scientific databases. As a result, the importance of the landscape for tourism, its valorization and integral development is transversally detailed. Finally, the different landscapes and their elements must be managed in a responsible and sustainable way where environmental, social and economic aspects are valued.
