“…La pandemia ha reavivado las discusiones y generado numerosos documentos que vuelven a enfatizar en cómo hacer para que el turismo sea más sostenible, en proponer estrategias relacionadas con la promoción de prácticas y consumos de turismo sostenible (Tauber & Bausch, 2022), en la necesidad de la inclusión de la comunidad en las prácticas de sostenibilidad y en la alineación de los productos/servicios turísticos con los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible (Rodrigues et al, 2022). El acervo bibliográfico también observa el problema desde la otra orilla de la oferta, esto es, desde los propios turistas que requieren practicar hábitos más sostenibles (Goh, 2021).…”

Este artículo sistematiza la literatura sobre el Covid-19 en la industria turística. El uso de una ecuación de búsqueda en Scopus® permitió identificar la cartografía científica a partir de 527 artículos publicados entre enero de 2020 y mayo de 2022, la cual aporta actualidad y pertinencia frente a estudios similares encontrados en la bibliografía disponible. La descripción está conformada por dos temáticas principales: (a) impactos del Covid-19en los diferentes actores que hacen parte de la cadena turística y (b) impactos del Covid-19 en las unidades productivas relacionadas con turismo. Los resultados muestran que las investigaciones realizadas hasta el momento se han enfocado en descripciones principalmente teóricas, con una clara ausencia de estudios empíricos que sustenten dichas descripciones, por ejemplo, un turismo más incluyente, sostenible y responsable. De estamanera, la investigación futura en temas de turismo y el Covid-19 está llamada a presentar evidencia empírica que permita conocer si las descripciones cumplen o no, y de qué manera, con los desafíos de inclusión, sostenibilidad y responsabilidad. Este artículo finaliza presentando nueve líneas para investigaciones futuras.

“…The United Nations already demanded in 2016 the transformation towards more sustainable tourism as part of the 17 sustainable development goals to address these issues (DESA 2016). Consequently, POIs must actively embrace transformation towards more sustainable and smart tourism (Tauber and Bausch 2022), focusing on implementing active visitor management strategies (Schmücker et al 2022). Effective active visitor management entails the spatial distribution of visitors among nearby POIs and strategically times arrivals to prevent overcrowding at any single location (Hall and McArthur 1996;Mason 2005).…”

Enabling active visitor management: local, short-term occupancy prediction at a touristic point of interest

After the temporary shock of the Covid-19 pandemic, the rapid recovery and resumed growth of the tourism sectors accelerates unsustainable tourism, resulting in local (over-)crowding, environmental damage, increased emissions, and diminished tourism acceptance. Addressing these challenges requires an active visitor management system at points of interest (POI), which requires local and timely POI-specific occupancy predictions to predict and mitigate crowding. Therefore, we present a new approach to measure visitor movement at an open-spaced, and freely accessible POI and evaluate the prediction performance of multiple occupancy and visitor count machine learning prediction models. We analyze multiple case combinations regarding spatial granularity, time granularity, and prediction time horizons. With an analysis of the SHAP values we determine the influence of the most important features on the prediction and extract transferable knowledge for similar regions lacking visitor movement data. The results underline that POI-specific prediction is achievable with a moderate relation for occupancy prediction and a strong relation for visitor count prediction. Across all cases, XGBoost and Random Forest outperform other models, with prediction accuracy increasing as the prediction time horizon shortens. For effective active visitor management, combining multiple models with different spatial aggregations and prediction time horizons provides the best information basis to identify appropriate steering measures. This innovative application of digital technologies facilitates information exchange between destination management organizations and tourists, promoting sustainable destination development and enhancing tourism experience.

“…The Covid-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has had a significant impact on health, economies, businesses, equality, and the movement of tourists all around the world. Several authors have investigated the impact of the pandemic on the tourist economy in the context of developing countries and specific tourist destinations (Escoto et al 2021;Huynh et al, 2021;Liang & Wu, 2022;Sheresheva et al, 2021;Tauber & Bausch, 2022). The persistence of the virus has forced the use of vaccination passports as a travel pass to most countries (Morar et al, 2022).…”

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant global impact on tourism. During the period of restricted travel between the countries, the segment of leisure activities in the regional city of Nitra (Slovakia) also gradually diversified. For the city, traditional events such as visits to theatres, museums, galleries, or trade fairs were halted and later moved online. The offer of activities has expanded to include the previously unnoticed objects of anthropogenic origin, which present the industrial history of the city and also point to the growth of the city. These objects are gradually transformed from the original production function to objects with a non-production function. This article aims to identify such buildings as an alternative to other leisure time activities of the residents and visitors to the city of Nitra. We analyze and evaluate their usability in the area of tourism based on primary and secondary sources and field research. The results are formulated as a proposal to form two thematic routes through the city, which can be used in non-pandemic times.
