“…At the beginning, researchers studied the ways to protect a destination that include awareness of the environmental and socio-cultural impacts that tourism activities generated [17,18]. Recently, researchers studied how sustainable tourism can promote economic growth in a destination [19]. Therefore, sustainable tourism also aims to increase tourist satisfaction [7].…”

"Awesome" is one of the most highly desirable experiences for tourists. This study investigates how tourists' awe emotion is induced when tourists visit sacred mountains and how the awe experience influences their satisfaction. A survey is administrated at a famous sacred mountain in China-Mount Emei. Results reveal that the awe experience is more elicited by the perceived vastness of natural environment for secular tourists, while is more encouraged by the perceived sanctity of religious ambience for pilgrim tourists. Awe experience is a mediator between the sense of perceptual vastness/sanctity and tourists' satisfaction. The mediation relationships through awe experience are moderated by the visitor types (pilgrims and secular tourists). Findings suggest that destination marketers should apply tourism strategies to encourage tourists' sense of awe.

“…En la última década, y dada la relación directa entre las llegadas de turistas y el crecimiento económico, las investigaciones en este área se han ido sucediendo con objeto de proporcionar elementos concretos que permitan justificar la necesidad de adoptar políticas favorables a la apertura exterior (Vogt, 2008;Arezki et al, 2009;Freytag y Vietze, 2010; entre otros). Las técnicas econométricas utilizadas se agrupan en diferentes categorías según el tipo de muestras (series temporales, panel o corte transversal e incluso muestras binarias propias de la inteligencia artificial), sin embargo no hay evidencia empírica que demuestre la superioridad de una de ellas, medida en términos de precisión (Song y Li, 2008).…”

RESUMENEl turismo doméstico de las distintas Comunidades Autónomas (CCAA) constituye una fuente de riqueza cada vez más relevante, de ahí la importancia de realizar estudios empíricos que faciliten la adopción de políticas concretas para cada territorio. El objetivo de la investigación ha sido obtener, mediante modelos de gravedad, patrones de comportamiento de este sector con objeto de facilitar la toma de decisiones públicas y privadas que promuevan su desarrollo. El análisis se ha realizado diferenciando por tipo de alojamiento debido al perfil tan específico del turista usuario de los mismos, agrupando además las CCAA en 4 zonas según su similitud geográfica. Los resultados revelan que no es posible adoptar medidas generales para todo el territorio español, la competitividad en precios y otras variables socioeconómicas afectan de forma muy distinta a las áreas analizadas.Palabras clave: turismo doméstico; tipo de alojamiento; modelo de gravedad

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merekomendasikan strategi dalam mengelola Pantai Bira sebagai daya tarik wisata berdasarkan konsep "stewardship" untuk pariwisata yang berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini meneliti persepsi pengunjung tentang kondisi aktual Pantai Bira yang selanjutnya berkaitan dengan rekomendasi konsep 'stewardship'. Penelitian ini menerapkan metode kualitatif melalui observasi partisipatif dan wawancara yang dilaksanakan pada tahun 2015 (di update hingga tahun 2017). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa untuk mendukung Pantai Bira sebagai daya tarik wisata, para pemangku kepentingan diharapkan memberikan perhatian dalam pengelolaan pantai tersebut. Implementasi pengelolaan strategis melalui konsep stewardship sangat diperlukan untuk melibatkan para pemangku kepentingan. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan tiga jenis pengelolaan dengan konsep stewardship yakni struktural, fungsional dan mandiri. Penelitian ini juga mengungkapkan bahwa konsep stewardship akan bermanfaat jika ada komitmen dan kesepakatan diantara para pemangku kepentingan untuk bekerja berdasarkan prinsip tanggung jawab bersama.Kata Kunci: Daya Tarik Wisata; Kabupaten Bulukumba; Pantai Bira; Stewardship.

This research aims at proposing recommendation or strategies in managing Bira beach as tourism attraction under the framework of 'stewardship' for sustainable tourism. This research also investigates the visitors' perception about the actual condition of Bira beach which then links to the value of stewardship. A qualitative research in 2015 (and updated in 2017) was employed to achieve the research goals through participant observation and interviews. The research reveals that in order to support Bira beach as tourism attraction, attention by different stakeholders is needed by implementing strategic management through the concept of stewardship. This paper recommends three kinds of stewardship including structural, functional and independent stewardships. The paper also argues that the stewardship concept is useful if there is high commitment and consensus among stakeholders to work based on the principles of responsibility.
