“…Notably, the performance model has rarely been examined in urban tourism context, where a vast range of product/service offerings (i.e. shops, events, facilities, infrastructure, and transport) are shared between tourists and local residents (Ashworth & Page, 2011;Su, Bramwell, & Whallery, 2018). In such a complex situation, perceived performance of different tourism sub-sectors (i.e.…”

This study aims to revisit the classic topic of tourist satisfaction formation in the context of urban tourism, and contribute to the dialogue by verifying an expectation-as-moderator paradigm. A model depicting the relationship between expectation, service performance, perceived value, and tourist satisfaction was constructed and tested based on three-year survey data collected from two major sectors of tourism industry in Hong Kong (accommodation and attraction), using Moderated Structural Equation Model. The results reveal that the moderation effect of tourist expectation exists in accommodation sector, but does not exist in attraction sector. The conclusion suggests that tourists with higher expectation towards accommodation service tend to be more sensitive to service performance. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

“…As representações semióticas (signos e símbolos) do patrimônio são importantes para a comercialização das cidades e do turismo (Smith & Puczkó, 2012;Ismail, Ahmad, & Hamzah, 2008). As culturas locais, a história e as identidades são selecionadas para comercialização aos turistas e podem não representar o sentido de identidade local dos residentes, mas refletir um capital simbólico coletivo (Su, Bramwell & Whalley, 2018). Em outras palavras, as marcas de distinção do lugar podem ser significativas pelo poder e os fluxos de capital que podem gerar.…”

Este estudo surgiu da necessidade de compreender se o marketing, pautado pela estra-tégia mercadológica, considera os signos e signos patrimoniais para a construção da marca e imagem no turismo. Na busca por responder este questionamento, a metodolo-gia utilizada foi a investigação exploratória de caráter qualitativa, desenvolvido por meio de análise de conteúdo (Bardin, 2011). Foram identificadas as categorias identi-dade, patrimônio e marketing e suas subcategorias a partir da literatura levantada no referencial teórico. Feito isso, foram analisadas as campanhas utilizadas pela Feira Nacional do Doce - Fenadoce, para reconhecer como a identidade e o patrimônio ima-terial da cultura doceira de Pelotas (RS), Brasil, estão sendo inseridos pelos gestores de marketing. Todas as categorias e subcategorias foram encontradas no conteúdo das mensagens, estando mais ou menos explícitas nas cinco campanhas analisadas. Con-clui-se que a relação entre patrimônio e marketing somente será possível se a primeira categoria estiver inserida na segunda. Além de contribuições gerenciais, as categorias e subcategorias encontradas contribuem para pesquisas futuras similares.

“…Vernacular architecture results in a different generative dynamic and reflects the urban identity; thus, the construction materials used take into account the environmental conditions and challenges of the village becoming a field of scholarly study in its own right (Alves 2017, Plevoets andSowińska-Heim 2018). Protecting and conserving the historical buildings within the heritage is one of the responsibilities in sustainable development and saves the local traditions for the future in ways that can be managed and invested in tourism purposes (Gravari-Barbas 2018, Su, Bramwell et al 2018). The Albaha region is characterized as having its own unique environment compared with other regions of Saudi Arabia (Al-Robai, Mohamed et al 2017, Groissböck andPickl 2018).…”

This paper investigates and analyses the redesigning of a heritage village in the southern region of Saudi Arabia to determine the impact of sustainable design strategies and green open spaces for the village rehabilitation. Heritage village development is an important step to consider for sustainable urban planning and design due to its influence in urban development, the local economy, and historical conservation. Al-Qahad heritage village has been selected as the case study due to its involvement with different historical domestic buildings, military castles, and mosques and its location on the main highway between Albaha and other regions. Furthermore, this heritage village reflects in its urban identity the local environment, social culture, and local construction materials and vernacular architecture. The applied approach involved visiting Al-Qahad heritage village for (a) analysis of the site and environmental conditions, (b) mobility survey analysis, and (c) the application of urban sustainable design strategies for redesigning Al-Qahad heritage village. The site visit included a physical survey to determine the current condition of buildings regarding heights, conditions, land use, and construction materials used. The output of the study is to redesign the heritage village including suggesting some other urban facilities, such as a museum, hotel, and other social activities to attract visitors and rehabilitate the village. The study highlights the importance of many urban sustainable design strategies that can be applied in other heritage villages in Saudi Arabia to protect and conserve the historical buildings and invest in these facilities for tourism purposes. Saudi Arabia is a nation rich with heritage villages, which are found across the country especially in the southern region. The study concludes by offering several recommendations for developers and investors.
