“…Recommendations for good interview practise were followed, including use of a standardised discussion guide (McGivern, 2006). Research thus took a more holistic approach to tourism studies related to that outlined by Hartmann (1988), albeit with a purely qualitative focus. This was chosen in order to explore in depth and present findings both within local context and participants own words (Johnson and Onwuegbuzie, 2004), rather than seek to generalise results; something which may be undermined by the heterogeneity of small islands (Milne, 1992).…”

Tourism stakeholder exclusion and conflict in a small island

Research in the Isle of Man, British Isles, reveals limited and dysfunctional collaboration between stakeholders, and in particular between public and private sector actors. Power and influence over tourism decision making is generally felt to be restricted to a small and opaque network. Moreover, different levels of interest in and support for tourism further divide stakeholders. Various negative consequences are shown to arise from this absence of collaboration, including a lack of shared vision or future strategy for local tourism, and high levels of mutual mistrust between stakeholders. Resulting conflict, wasted resources, lost enthusiasm and lack of strategic direction appear to undermine the current and future management of island tourism. Emphasised by research is the importance of stakeholder collaboration to sustainable tourism management and underlying factors which may enhance or undermine. Focus on dysfunctional collaboration and the small island setting makes a unique contribution to the existing literature.

“…Normalmente se observa desde una distancia prudente y sin que el turista sea consciente de que está siendo observado. Uno de los primeros referentes en observación no participada es Hartmann (1988) en el estudio, antes mencionado, sobre el comportamiento de los jóvenes turistas canadienses y norteamericanos en Múnich, donde también se utilizó el método de la observación no participada. Murphy (1992) utiliza la técnica para el estudio del turismo urbano en la ciudad de Victoria en la Isla de Vancouver.…”

RESUMENEste artículo es un análisis exploratorio sobre el uso de los GPS para estudiar el comportamiento de los visitantes en un espacio abierto. El Valle de Boí es un escenario turístico que ofrece diversos recursos de primer orden, por lo que el estudio de los recorridos de los visitantes permite analizar la respuesta a estímulos muy diferentes. Los resultados demuestran que el recurso del GPS en espacios abiertos permite ampliar la información sobre el uso social del espacio turístico y abre las puertas a nuevas formas de análisis.Palabras clave: comportamiento turístico, GPS, actividad espacio-temporal, Valle de Boí.

A pre-test study in Boí Valley ABSTRACTThis article is an exploratory analysis of the use of GPS for the study of visitors' behaviour in an open space. The Boi Valley is an open space that offers important tourism resources, so

“…Due to the complex nature of tourism (McKercher, 1999), there is a growing need for empirical movement data to accompany theoretical models. Yet, empirical studies into tourist mobility have traditionally been rather scarce due to the labor-intensive and often expensive nature of traditional methods such as direct observation (Hartmann, 1988) or personal interviews (Kemperman, Borgers, & Timmermans, 2009). Space-time diaries (Connell & Page, 2008;Janelle, Goodchild, & Klinkenberg, 1988;Lau & McKercher, 2006) shift some of the weight away from the researchers but are often characterized by a low reliability as respondents tend to forget or neglect to register certain activities.…”
