“…(2016) and Matoga and Pawłowska (2018) consider as main motivations economic benefits, comfort and the search for more authentic and novelty experiences. Our findings tell us about the price as the main motivation, in concordance with the results of several authors (Bellotti et al., 2015; Tussyadiah, 2015; Razli et al., 2016; Pesonen and Tussyadiah, 2017; Tussyadiah and Zach, 2017; Wu et al., 2017; Liang et al, 2018; Mahadevan, 2018; Matoga and Pawłowska, 2018). In fact, following Bellotti et al.…”

“…This process of co-creation would lead to more intense and authentic experiences, which constitute a strong attraction for tourists (Dredge and Gyimóthy, 2015). New tourists look for off-the-beaten-track experiences (Matoga and Pawłowska, 2018), and collaborative tourism offers them the possibility of discovering the destination under a new perspective, as well as knowing the image that has traditionally been used to attract mass tourism.…”

“…Motivation is the internal force that moves individuals to act, and it responds to the tension created by unmet needs (Schiffman et al., 2012). In the field of p2p tourism, the needs that appear in the academic literature with greater frequency are those corresponding to obtaining an economic benefit, to comfort, and to the search for new, more authentic experiences (Razli et al., 2016; Matoga and Pawłowska, 2018), which usually imply a contact or approach to the local population (Bellotti et al., 2015).

Several previous studies have proposed the segmentation of tourists based on their motivations, their sociodemographic profile and the characteristics of their trip. This study has focused on proposing a segmentation of tourists that uses a peer-to-peer accommodation (p2p) based on their motivations, socio-demographic profile and the characteristics of their trip. This investigation is based on the application of a questionnaire to a representative sample of visitors in the city of Córdoba and who choose a peer-to-peer accommodation. Factorial analysis has been used as a data reduction technique in order to find homogeneous groups from the point of view of the reasons for choosing "peer-to-peer" tourism. The results confirm the existence of four types of p2p tourists clearly differentiated according to the motivations that have led them to choose this type of accommodation. The study shows the profile and preferences relative to the characteristics of the trip for each of the segments detected. Likewise, a high degree of fidelity towards the p2p accommodation modality was detected in the respondents—seven out of ten choose collaborative accommodation.

“…443-454 2016). The genesis, evolution and dynamics of tourist destinations depend on a number of factors, not least transport infrastructure (Bieger & Wittmer 2006;Ilieş & Grama 2010;Więckowski et al 2014;Matoga & Pawłowska 2018;Rosik et al 2018), tourist infrastructure (Khadaroo & Seetanah 2008;Kapera 2018), the weather (Martin 2005;Lindner-Cendrowska 2013), the perceptions of tourists (Beerli & Martıín 2004;Cracolici & Nijkamp 2009;Ilies et al 2017;Toral et al 2018;Wendt et al 2019), and competition between destinations (Fyall et al 2012;Ilies et al 2012;Dwyer et al 2014;Mendola & Volo 2017;Sainaghi et al 2017;Gómez-Vega & Picazo-Tadeo 2019). All these defining factors -and the mutations to which they are subject -lead to evolutionary transformations of tourist destinations (Saarinen 2001(Saarinen , 2004Mariani 2014).…”

The expansion of tourism at regional and global levels requires considerable efforts from those involved, if tourist-destination management is to be optimized. In that context, the purpose of the work underpinning this article has been to emphasize and quantify the roles and functions that responding examples of Romania’s Tourist Information and Promotion Centers play and serve, as they seek to create and promote for their country the image of attractive tourist destination. Indicators taken account of in the work relate to tasks set out in the domestic legislation put in place to accredit the said National Tourist Information and Promotion Centers. Results obtained using the questionnaire method, though limited quantitatively (to just the 35 out of 110 Centers that responded positively to the research team’s request), are suggestive in qualitative terms, providing valuable information that successfully reflects the role and importance of Centers of this kind in outlining and developing the image of Romania as a destination for tourists.

“…Another very important aspect of technical innovations in cultural tourism is related to its gamification principle, which is very important for the pro-active approach of the new cultural tourists [28]. Gamification that enables to get to know cultural tourism destinations in a better enhanced way might include interactive games, quests, or geocaching that combine a guided tour of the sights with an interesting adventure [22].…”
