This article analyses the scientific production related to tourism and mushrooms. The method used was a bibliometric analysis and a systematic literature review. The main results show that it is a recent area of study that predominates in Spain but that will expand and gain relevance over time. The thematic analysis has made it possible to structure the information according to the economic contribution of this tourist niche, the well-being it brings to residents and tourists, the importance of a sustainable development of the activity, and the promotion and marketing of this new tourism. Supporting mycological tourism will help the development of rural areas and bring physical, mental, social, educational, and nutritional benefits to residents and tourists. This study has allowed us to develop a future research agenda, highlighting the importance of further research to harness the benefits of mycological tourism while at the same time transferring that knowledge to stakeholders, which will be necessary.

“…Usually, hiking is accompanied by contact with nature in areas where there are monuments and natural attractions, by the exploration of new areas [10], and by visiting protected areas [11]. According to Acevedo-Duque et al [12], hiking is considered an aerobic exercise that prevents cardiovascular diseases and represents up to 20% of the global income of mountain tourism. Moreover, hiking can contribute, combined with physical exercise, positively to the reduction of blood pressure and weight loss; mentally, it can help to reduce depression and bring well-being and social contact [6,13], and that is why it has become a popular form of tourism [14].…”

In recent decades, large sections of trail paths throughout Greece have been maintained, revived, and marked, creating a wide network with a total length of approximately 3500 km. The trail paths are one of the main levers of tourism development as they contribute to the preservation, protection, and promotion of the countryside, cultural heritage, and tradition, to the more effective protection and management of areas of exceptional natural beauty and sensitive ecosystems with wildlife. This paper investigates the view of the citizens of the regional unit of Evros, Greece, on the contribution of the trail paths to the protection and promotion of the cultural and natural environment. The research was conducted with the use of a structured questionnaire and through personal interviews. The data were collected and analyzed with the use of descriptive statistical methods as well as multivariate analysis techniques. The results of the research show that the attitudes of citizens to the contribution of paths in the protection and promotion of the cultural and natural environment are directly or indirectly influenced by various factors. In particular, age directly affects the view of citizens towards the trail paths, with the younger ones having more positive views. Other important predictors of citizens’ views were the type of activity in the trail path, with citizens using them for leisure activities or using the easy roots having more positive views towards them.

Historically, the Garifuna community has been relegated to northern Honduras. The access indicators for the behavior in telecommunications services of this ethnic group are not known in depth. A sample has been chosen to study variables such as hours of use of computers and mobiles, the monthly budget for telecommunications services, and characterization of complementary final services, especially the behavior and digital knowledge from the intersection of technology together with an aspect of common knowledge among the Garifuna, which in this case is proposed to carry out the analysis to be able to encourage and promote health in terms of the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases (STD). Data were collected electronically using an instrument between January and May 2022. In the behavior and knowledge of digital technologies, basic statistics have been used to analyze quantitative data, but an unstructured text analysis algorithm has been used, together with graph theory, to find the relationships between the terms used by the participants. The result has been widespread access to telecommunications services, but there is also low knowledge of the basic concepts associated with these technologies.
