“…In this context, research on proximity tourism in cultural destinations is a promising path, and it may provide insights into the new sustainability conditions of cultural destinations (Romagosa, 2020). While the majority of cultural tourism scholarship has overlooked day trips and tourist practices within the intra-regional scale so far, now a few works have started addressing these issues (Bertacchini et al, 2019;Downward and Lumsdon, 2000;Jeuring and Diaz-Soria, 2017;Wynen, 2013aWynen, , 2013b, and a full understanding of this phenomenon is increasingly necessary in the post-COVID-19 scenario.…”

“…El turismo es una actividad que permite vivir experiencias diferentes de las habituales en lugares diferentes a los habituales, y la globalización de la información facilita un mejor conocimiento de territorios lejanos que de aquellos más cercanos (Fullagar et al, 2012). Por contra, el principio ROTUR, Revista de Ocio y Turismo del turismo de proximidad es que la oferta de lugares cercanos a los propios visitantes y a la vez desconocidos, favorezca la revalorización de espacios cotidianos y con ello un proceso de desarrollo local modesto, pero también más sostenible y la necesidad de conservar y proteger el patrimonio cultural local (Díaz y Llurdés, 2013;Jeuring y Diaz-Soria, 2017).…”

En este artículo se hace una reflexión sobre el papel clave que juegan las empresas turísticas, en especial las micro y pequeñas empresas, en el favorecimiento de un turismo más sostenible a través del aprovechamiento y promoción del patrimonio cultural. En primer lugar, se aborda la relación entre las micro y pequeñas empresas turísticas y la protección del patrimonio cultural, sobre todo desde el punto de vista de su integración en el territorio y destino. A continuación, se trata la cuestión de la interacción cultural. La idea de partida es que para la conservación del patrimonio es básico hacer una gestión correcta de las visitas que se organicen en torno a ese patrimonio. La mejor manera de que las visitas sean más rentables para las empresas turísticas es contar con la comunidad local. Finalmente, el último apartado se dedica a la presentación de la cultura y el patrimonio por parte de las empresas, abordando la cuestión de la imagen y la importancia de que cualquier micro y pequeña empresa turística incorpore una visión global del territorio donde ejerza su actividad.

“…As our investigation concerns museum attendance through use of a museum card as a tourism practice on an intra-regional scale, it lies at the crossroads of three different strands of scholarly research. The first addresses the emerging interest in conceptualizing and empirically analyzing proximity tourism (Jeuring and Diaz-Soria, 2017), that is, a broad range of leisure activities and experiences that are consumed within the home region, often but not exclusively occurring through day trips and excursions from metropolitan areas to rural peripheral territories. While these practices have often been overlooked in tourism research, proximity tourism is increasingly recognized for its role in fostering local development and reducing the gap between urban settings and inner areas (Salvatore et al, 2018).…”

Proximity tourism and cultural amenities: Evidence from a regional museum card

2019

Although cultural tourism has generated extensive literature, it has often overlooked proximity tourism practices and the determinants of visits to near-home cultural amenities, often located in rural destinations with lower market appeal. This article investigates visiting behaviors and characteristics of intra-regional flows from urban settings toward museums and heritage sites located in surrounding areas. We use a unique transactional data set of about 76,000 subscribers to a regional museum card in Piedmont (Italy) to analyze visiting patterns in the 2011–2014 period from the city of Turin to out-of-town cultural institutions. Our empirical analysis shows that being male, having lower socioeconomic status, visiting home-based museums, and loyalty to the card program are the most relevant factors explaining propensity to out-of-town visits. At the same time, a clear polarization of visits between a limited number of cultural attractors and the tail of minor heritage sites suggests that differences in museum characteristics can generate distinct motivations for visits to the two types of cultural institutions. From a policy perspective, although a definitive evaluation of the effect of the museum card on proximity tourism cannot be undertaken, findings suggest that bundle of minor attractions and major urban museums can generate indirect network advantages, foster cultivation of taste, and eventually stimulate both the demand for regional destinations and the development of original cultural programs.
