“…Studies show the effects of tourism, transport activities, lumber exploitation, agriculture and animal breeding. Recent studies are predominantly focused on the Alps [29,30], mainly the Swiss Alps [3,[31][32][33], Austrian Alps [7,31] and German Alps [34], the Tatra Mountains (a chain sector of the Carpathians) in Slovakia [35] and Poland [14], the Pyrenées Mountains [6], on the mountain areas of North America [2,[36][37][38] or mountain areas less representative for practicing mountain tourism from countries such as Greece [13], Great Britain [39], Nepal [3,11], Australia [40,41], Nigeria [15] and India [42].…”

Abstract:The article aims to identify the degree to which tourism managers who work in Romania in the area of the Carpathian Mountains have implemented sustainable development practices. It also assesses the quantification of their availability to be informed and to apply voluntary tools of sustainable development. Qualitative research based on the method of semi-structured in-depth interviews was conducted, with 34 managers who work in the accommodation units in the Romanian Carpathians. Results show that most managers are concerned with issues linked to sustainable evolution of the accommodation unit they manage. The researchers have noticed a low interest in sustainable evolution negatively correlated with the comfort level of the accommodation unit and competitiveness. Based on these results the authors recommend the adoption of measures that may allow sustainable development, and for the Romanian authorities to encourage the increase in the number of tourism units that can use sustainable management systems. This can be done through accessible rules, development of networks that may offer information about good practices and codes of conduct, as well as the possibility to participate in exchange programs.

“…The divergent approach takes the characteristics of the tourism industries as the starting point for identifying research questions and core concepts and builds on these aspects for knowledge development. Specific issues related to the industry, such as the high degree of seasonality (Ioannides & Petersen, 2003;Pegg, Patterson, & Gariddo, 2012) or the fact that some parts of the industry are characterised by high investment and a need for advanced technical solutions (Carlbäck, 2012), are the focus of analyses. Hence, the divergent approach yields highly relevant research for the industry, but it may also encounter deficits related to its inability to build on previously developed knowledge within entrepreneurship, which may limit theory development.…”

“…But, the literature shows as well that seasonality not always has a negative influence. For example, the environment needs a period of time to recover from heavy usage during peak seasons (Pegg et al, 2012), while maintenance work on buildings and attractions can be better done during off-peak periods (Cannas, 2012). It is, however, generally recognized that seasonality has more negative effects, particularly from a socio-economic perspective (Karamustafa & Ulama, 2010).…”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractSeasonality is a frequent and important occurrence in the tourism industry, with simultaneous effects on both the volume and financial flows of tourism. The seasonal characteristics of these monetary and nonmonetary tourism indicators can show diverging paths. Lack of synchronization between the seasonal patterns of these two types of indicators of tourism development can produce suboptimal situations, with less than best choices when formulating and implementing anti-seasonal policies. The purpose of this study is to measure pattern, amplitude and timing differences between the seasonal factors of monetary and non-monetary indicators of tourism development in Aruba. The study contributes to the gap in the literature on the dynamics in the co-movement of these two types of seasonal factors, while concurrently incorporating three measurement dimensions of this relation. Moreover, the study introduces novel calculation techniques in two of the three measurement dimensions. The methodology involves decomposing time series on both monetary and non-monetary variables using Census X12-ARIMA, with subsequent calculation of Pearson's correlation coefficients, median relative differences, and median timing differentials. The results show important quarterly differences in pattern, amplitude and timing of the seasonal factors, in terms of the applied timeframe, periodicity, variables and markets involved. The findings implicate the need for synchronizing strategies and a differentiated anti-seasonal policy.
