“…However, studies regarding affective recovery show that short term contact with nature is associated with a significant positive effect ( T Hartig, Book, Garvill, Olsson, & Garling, 1996;Terry Hartig, Evans, Jamner, Davis, & Garling, 2003). However, it seems that contact with nature needs to be rather more prolonged than for cognitive recovery (Taylor, 1994).…”

“…To help the managers of tourism companies and destinations, and other stakeholders, to make better decisions regarding tourism, it is fundamental to have information and tools that bring practical assistance to identify emerging problems, to evaluate the impacts of sustainable tourism policies and to measure the results of actions taken, in order to allow preventive and corrective measures, when needed. Since 1992, the World Tourism Organization (WTO) has been active in the effort to develop and implement indicators which help in the sustainable development of tourism at different destina tions (WTO, 1992;WTO, 1993;WTO, 1996;WTO, 1998;WTO, 2004). However, the implementa tion of such approaches in the Azores as a tourist destination has, so far, been limited.…”

Por um desenvolvimento sustentável da actividade turística entende-se aquele que permite aumentar a qualidade de vida da população residente, promover a melhoria da qualidade da experiência turística, maximizar a rentabilidade das empresas locais e os efeitos multiplicadores do turismo e optimizar os impactes do turismo, assegurando um equilíbrio entre os benefícios económicos e os custos ambientais e socioculturais. Neste trabalho de investigação avalia- se uma das vertentes do conceito de sustentabilidade do turismo para o caso do destino turístico Açores: a qualidade da experiência turística. Atendendo à natureza subjectiva da qualidade do produto turístico, foi implementado um questionário a uma amostra de 400 turistas à saída da Região, durante a época alta (Verão), para se determinar a importância atribuída a um conjunto de vinte e cinco atributos na escolha do destino turístico Açores (expectativas), bem como a satisfação obtida na visita (percepções) perante esses mesmos atributos, de modo a avaliar o desempenho do destino turístico. A paisagem e a natureza foram os atributos considerados mais importantes na escolha do destino turístico, sendo igualmente aqueles que mais contribuíram para a satisfação com a visita. A satisfação média excedeu a importância média atribuída a todos os atributos e foram encontradas diferenças significativas em onze atributos. Através da aplicação da análise factorial, foram identificados seis factores subjacentes à escolha do destino turístico e cinco factores subjacentes à satisfação com a visita. A análise de clusters hierárquica permitiu revelar a presença de três grupos distintos de turistas com base na satisfação obtida na visita: os Encantados (37,5%), os Descobridores (47,7%) e os Sociáveis (14,8%). A qualidade da experiência turística influencia a intenção de regresso e a recomendação do destino.

“…In the beginning, travelling was not called tourism. However, with the development of the concept of the round tour or package tour, the word "tourism" came to be associated with various forms of travel (McIntyre et al, 1993). People who have visited Nepal since ancient times can therefore be considered tourists in this sense, and their activities can be described as tourism.…”

Nepal is the place of tourist attraction and destination since the ancient time. Taking this into consideration using historical design of qualitative research, this study examines the visitors who came to the country during the ancient and medieval periods from the perspective of tourism in Nepal. The study explores the reasons for travel to Nepal, such as for pilgrimages, diplomatic missions, as refugees, and discusses the activities that these visitors were involved in during their time in the country. The study used secondary sources, including travelogues and historical memoirs, to draw conclusions about the development of tourism in Nepal during this time period. The findings suggest that visitors to Nepal during this time can be considered tourists, and their activities were similar to those of modern tourism.
