“…No obstante, cuando se plasman los resultados sobre el territorio, se observa que no siempre se configura un espacio turístico unificado y similar en sus características básicas. Por el contrario, a veces se muestra un espacio disperso y carente de unidad territorial Sánchez et al, 2014), hecho que dificulta enormemente las tareas de planificación turística a escala plurimunicipal, especialmente si se pretende crear productos turísticos homogéneos y diferenciados.…”

“…Posee un patrimonio rico y variado, tanto en su concepción natural como cultural, que ha sido recogido y tratado en numerosas publicaciones, a escala regional (JUNTAEX, 2010), o a escalas locales (Sánchez, 1998;Sánchez, et al, 2014;. Tan abundante patrimonio se sintetiza en dos vocaciones turísticas bien diferenciadas: por un lado, la orientada al turismo rural; por otro, la enfocada al turismo cultural.…”

RESUMENEste artículo aborda un ensayo técnico de caracterización del espacio turístico de Extremadura a partir de la aplicación de Análisis de Grupos o de Agrupamiento (Grouping Analysis), técnica vinculada a la geoestadística. Se consideran variables relativas a los atractivos y la oferta de alojamientos y restauración y, además, se recurre al criterio espacial. Con ello, se trata de ir más allá de los análisis exclusivamente cuantitativos, al incorporar el espacio próximo como factor destacado a la hora de establecer grupos homogéneos. Se realizan numerosos ensayos, utilizando variables muy diversas y diferentes criterios de restricción espacial, desde la omisión del mismo, hasta la consideración de tres vecinos como criterio de distancia. Se pone de manifiesto que los resultados que ofrece la utilización de éste último criterio son sensiblemente mejores que los obtenidos con la omisión del aspecto espacial. Como consecuencia de su aplicación, se obtienen 14 áreas turísticas bien diferenciadas.Palabras clave: Análisis de agrupamiento, restricción espacial, Extremadura, territorio turístico.

Multicriteria Evaluation of Tourism Potential in the Central Highlands of Vietnam: Combining Geographic Information System (GIS), Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA)

Tourism potential provides an indication for the tourism development opportunities of regions and sites. This paper deals with a multicriteria evaluation of the tourism potential in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. The study area is located in the Southeast Asian monsoon tropical climatic zone, and offers both natural and cultural tourism resources. GIS-based cost distance analysis was used to calculate the travel time along the road and using other transportation networks. Then an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was applied to determine a weighting coefficient for each criterion in multicriteria evaluation. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was processed next to AHP, allowing combination of the internal and external tourism potentials of the considered sites. Both AHP and PCA approaches were based on a certain number of alternatives, and take multiple criteria and conflicting objectives into consideration. The results show that the Central Highlands have considerable potential for tourism development at 99 potential eco-tourism sites and 45 potential cultural tourism sites. However, the region is now faced with poor tourism infrastructure with low external potential. An improvement of tourism infrastructure, service quality, and strengthened linkages with other tourist sites is indicated to diversify the tourism products and increase the attractiveness of regional destinations.

“…For instance, there is a need to plan for theme or thematic parks, sport facilities, cultural attractions, archeological sites, and interventions in natural areas [10,11]. The success of these investments depends on their grounded capacity to generate value and competitiveness for the destination, with implications for attracting tourists and managing them from a sustainability perspective [12].…”

Stargazing tourism is an expanding market niche that requires the development of territorial resources for its implementation and attraction. This paper’s objective is to investigate the preferences and willingness to pay of tourists for the development of strategic land resources for stargazing tourism activities. The field work was conducted on the island of La Palma (Canary Islands), which is promoting the territorial development of infrastructures for stargazing tourism. A random sample of 734 tourists were interviewed in person on-site in December 2019 following the methodology discrete choice experiments that enabled an estimation of tourists’ preferences and willingness to pay for the implementation of key land resources for stargazing. The data are modeled using a latent class model that allows for the consideration of heterogeneous preferences. The results show that there are three groups of tourists with different preferences for land resources of stargazing observation. These segments are respectively related to the interests in culture, active, and astronomic tourism. Those tourists in the active stargazing segment share the largest proportion of the market and favor the implementation of facilities that allow the combination of active tourism with stargazing. The results are useful for land product development and territorial strategies aimed at positioning destinations in the identified demand niches of stargazing tourism.
