“…The impact described below refers only to those associated with the activity of online platforms for the intermediation of tourist accommodation. The substantial increase in tourists in cities has caused major changes (Gravari‐Barbas & Guinand, 2017). Hence, due to this growth in tourist numbers in the last decade, the focus lies on urban destinations.…”

The expansion of mediated accommodation on peer to peer (P2P) platforms, such as Airbnb, has generated extensive economic impact and structural changes in all the destinations involved. This study proposes an innovative analysis which estimates the economic impact associated with the expenditure of tourists staying in traditional hotel establishments in comparison to the impact of those staying in tourist housing mediated through P2P platforms. This research analyses fieldwork based on 1343 surveys carried out in the city of Granada, one of the main tourist destinations in Spain. Through the application of the input-output methodology we found that tourists staying in tourist housing mediated through P2P platforms generate a greater impact as a consequence of longer average stays and more heterogeneously distributed consumption. Their average expenditure is similar to that of tourists in hotels, but the indirect impact generated is greater. Consequently, we can better comprehend the economic impact associated with these platforms and their real effect. Public planners have to consider this information as part of the regulation and restriction of this activity.

“…Despite the impacts of different subgroups being different, the neighbourhood effects temporary inhabitants produce are to some extent similar, overlapping and reinforce each other (Lo´pez-Gay et al, 2021). Touristification has been frequently interpreted not only as a source of 'tourism-led gentrification', but also as a complement to other drivers of neighbourhood change (Cocola-Gant, 2018;Gravari-Barbas and Guinand, 2017;Novy, 2018). Studentification is also often considered as a specific case (Smith, 2005) or as a consequence of gentrification, and vice versa (Moos et al, 2019) despite the two processes showing several differences (Nakazawa, 2017).…”

Temporary populations – tourists, temporary stayers, non-resident students – constitute a substantial share of many cities’ inhabitants. Their implications are normally the object of separate research, about over tourism, studentification, transnational gentrification. When viewed from the perspective of the sociospatial relations those populations have in and with the city, many similarities emerge in their urban practices, socio economic characteristics, locational and housing preferences. The paper aims to contribute to recent attempts to avoid traditional categorisations and investigate jointly how the inflow of temporary inhabitants produces effects at the urban and sub-urban scales. The COVID-19 pandemic will then be used as a natural experiment to estimate how they distribute in the city of Rome, Italy, which is crucial to a better understanding of their impact. Temporary populations, we argue, are a very visible source of both hard and soft urban changes, and a major driver of not only neighbourhood change but sociospatial polarisation at the whole city scale. The pandemic also offers an occasion to see how dependent cities are on temporary inhabitants and to reflect upon the ambivalence in how they see those populations as either a gain or a burden, something they struggle to attract or as a source of tensions and opposition.

“…Other urban change processes that are at least partially ascribed to globalisation are aestheticisation and gentrification of neighbourhoods and businesses (Gravari- Barbas and Guinand, 2021). Simpson (2008), for example, discussed the aestheticisation (to global standards) of traditional cafés in Macao.…”

Book Title -World tourism cities: A systematic approach to urban tourism Chapter Authors -Alastair M. Morrison and Cristina Maxim Chapter Number & Title -Chapter 2, Globalisation and world tourism citiesThis second introductory chapter highlights how the process of globalisation affects cities, tourism in general, and world tourism cities in particular. Three initial dimensions of globalisation are identified and ways to measure them are examined (economic, political, and social). Later, three other factors in the PESTEL model are added and discussed (technological, environmental and legal/regulatory), and the impacts on city residents and visitors are considered as well.The glocalisation concept is discussed as is how cities and tourism companies have adapted global concepts and ideas to better fit local circumstances. The merging of globalisation and localisation in tourism is illustrated through several good examples.The connection of globalisation and world tourism cities is reviewed with respect to the gateway, influential, impactful, cosmopolitan, and recognised features. This is followed by a detailed discussion of six dimensions of globalisation, and the effects on city residents and visitors.The chapter closes by deriving a summary from previous materials of the advantages and disadvantages of globalisation for tourism and world tourism cities across eight dimensions and perspectives (PESTEL-RV). Learning objectives1. Define globalisation and identify its dimensions.2. Explain the KOF Globalisation Index (KOFGI). 3. Pinpoint how globalisation has impacted on cities. 4. Elaborate on how globalisation has affected tourism. 5. Describe how globalisation is influencing world tourism cities. 6. Explain the PESTEL dimensions of globalisation and the PESTER-RV model. 7. Summarise the advantages and disadvantages of globalisation for tourism and world tourism cities.
