“…These variables, among others, are proposals for their study with respect to the Dominican Republic and its relationship with tourist satisfaction, perceived value and loyalty to destiny. Previous studies carried out in this country, such as that of Jimber del Río et al (2017) about tourism in Dajabón (Dominican Republic), confirm that there is a direct relationship between the perceived satisfaction by the visitor and his loyalty, as well as his recommendation of the tourist destination.…”

“…There are many different methods that have been used in the research of visitor satisfaction and data analyses for this purposes. Above basic statistics it is possible to mention for example structural equation modelling (del Río, Agüera, Cuadra, & Morales, 2017;Romão et al, 2014), path analysis (Matzler et al, 2007), formative modelling (Cong, 2016) or common statistical method, such as paired/independent-samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), regression and correlation (Agyeiwaah, Adongo, Dimache, & Wondirad, 2016;Parola, Satta, Penco, & Persico, 2014), Item-Objective Congruency (IOC) index (Choovanichchannon, 2015), exploratory factor analyses (EFAs), principal components analyses with Varimax rotation and MANOVA (Jensen, Li, & Uysal, 2017) or hybrid text mining methodology using artificial intelligence (Kim, Park, Yun, & Yun, 2017).…”

High level of satisfaction of tourists is one of the most common goals of sustainable tourism destinations. The general assumption is that higher level of tourists' satisfaction leads to a higher tourists' loyalty to destinations. This research looks on this relationship from macro level of European Union (EU) countries. We have used data from Eurobarometer-Preferences of Europeans towards Tourism between 2013 and 2016to statistically compare and analyse several satisfaction indicators of European tourists incoming the chosen EU countries. The results show significant differences amongst countries as destinations and could be used to identify strengths and weaknesses of EU countries as tourism destinations. The robust data set enables the benchmarking of EU countries as tourism destinations from the tourists' satisfaction point of view. This study shows the ranking of the EU countries in several dimensions of tourists' satisfaction.

“…Tourism studies in the Dominican Republic have been analyzed from different perspectives, studying the impacts of ecotourism [20], rural livelihoods [21], tourists' preferences [22], border tourism [23], and cultural and historical tourism [24]. However, empirical research on the impacts of tourism on protected coastal areas of the Dominican Republic is scarce, and it is only recently that some studies on the subject began to be published, such as the impacts generated on the coast and coral reefs [25] and the economic impacts in coastal communities [14].…”

Community Perceptions of Tourism Impacts on Coastal Protected Areas

The Dominican Republic is one of the countries with the highest growing number of tourists in coastal protected areas. The objective of this study was to examine the perceived impact of tourism on three coastal national parks, involving all the sectors related to these protected areas and tourism. Workshops were carried out in the coastal protected areas studied. The results revealed the poor integration of local communities in the management plans, the lack of information on protected areas, and the poverty of the majority of the resident families despite income of tourism. The findings of this study highlighted the concept of a carrying capacity or threshold for tourism development. Lower to moderate levels of tourism development appeared beneficial, but as tourism development increased, perceptions of the community worsened. The results also confirmed that tourism contributes to environmental degradation, mainly due to contamination of rivers and coastlines, accumulation of waste, and over-exploitation of natural resources. A series of strategies is proposed to minimize this impact.
