    Get PDF
    RESUMO: Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a qualidade percebida por usuários de acomodações ofertadas através da plataforma AirBnB no destino Juiz de Fora, polo turístico de eventos e negócios da Zona da Mata mineira. O destino se situa na região turística da Estrada Real, entre Belo Horizonte e Rio de Janeiro. A partir da revisão bibliográfica, optou-se pela pesquisa quali-quantitativa a partir de dados disponíveis na plataforma AirBnB. Assim, de acordo com os parâmetros da metodologia SERVQUAL, foram elaborados os critérios de análise da qualidade percebida pelos usuários. Os aspectos analisados foram confiabilidade, segurança, empatia, aspectos tangíveis e receptividade. Dessa forma, partiu-se para a verificação dos “momentos da verdade” (Freitas, 2009). Foram analisados 99 meios de hospedagem e os 6 comentários postados mais recentemente para cada um deles, o que totalizaria 594 comentários, porém algumas acomodações não possuíam comentários. Como resultados tem-se que, de modo geral, a oferta de acomodações através do AirBnb em Juiz de Fora oferece boa qualidade segundo a percepção dos usuários, com preço médio inferior aos meios de hospedagens tradicionais. Os principais comentários negativos estão relacionados a confiabilidade e aos aspectos tangíveis das acomodações. Os aspectos tangíveis dizem respeito aos elementos materiais da acomodação, como tamanho, estado de conservação, estética, utensílios, mobiliário e conforto. A atenção dos administradores para a resolução de alguns dos problemas apontados pelos usuários, ou uma melhor comunicação, além de um planejamento dos serviços, reduziria o percentual de avaliação negativa nesta categoria, a pior avaliada pelos consumidores. A confiabilidade, definida pela relação entre o prometido e o entregue ao cliente, mostrou-se fundamental para a competitividade dos serviços de hospedagem analisados, uma vez que disponibilizam as On-line Travel Reviews com grande potencial de influenciar os clientes potenciais. Conclui-se desse modo que os efeitos desta pesquisa revelam resultados e apontamentos estratégicos para os empreendedores do setor de hospedagem no município, tanto para a hotelaria tradicional, que pode perder participação de mercado com o crescimento da demanda pelo AirBnb, como para a hospedagem não tradicional, sinalizando aspectos para a melhoria de seus serviços. Palavras-chave: Qualidade em serviços; Hospedagem; Airbnb; Servqual; Online Travel Review.   ABSTRACT: This article aims to analyze the quality perceived by users of AirBnB accommodations in Juiz de For a city, a business hub in the Zona da Mata of Minas Gerais. The destination is located in the Estrada Real tourist region, between Belo Horizonte and Rio de Janeiro. Based on the literature review, we opted for quali-quantitative research based on data available on the AirBnB platform. Thus, according to the parameters of the SERVQUAL methodology, criteria for analyzing the quality perceived by users were developed. The analitical aspects were trustworthy, security, empathy, tangible aspects and receptivity. In this way, we set out to verify the “moments of truth” (Freitas, 2009). 99 accommodations and the 6 comments posted most recently for each one of them were evaluated, which would indicate a 594 total comments, but some accommodations had no comments. As a result, in general, the accommodations available through AirBnb in Juiz de Fora offers good quality according to the users' perception, with an average price lower than traditional hospitality. The main associated comments are related to trust and tangible aspects of the properties. The tangible aspects concern the material elements of the accommodation, such as size, state of conservation, aesthetics, utensils, furniture and comfort. The attention of administrators to solving some of the problems pointed out by users, as better communication and planning services, would reduce the percentage of negative ratings in this category, the worst rated by consumers. Reliability, defined by the relationship between what was promised and what was delivered to the client, is fundamental for the defense of hosting services, as they make online travel assessments available with great visibility for potential clients. It is thus concluded that the effects of this research reveal strategic points for entrepreneurs in the hospitality sector in the city, for both traditional hotels, which may lose market share with the growth in demand for AirBnb, and for non-traditional accommodation, signaling aspects for an improvement of its services. Keywords: Services Quality, Accomodation, AirBnB, Servqual, Online Travel Review

    : Las micro y pequeñas empresas (MiPymes) así como los emprendimientos turísticos se enfrentan a diversos desafíos impuestos por el entorno; sin embargo, se esfuerzan por encontrar estrategias para configurar destinos más innovadores y competitivos. Las redes locales de cooperación (RLC) son estructuras de relaciones sociales que les permiten aprovechar eficientemente los recursos locales y activar sus capacidades empresariales. Se presenta una revisión de literatura que busca explorar las ventajas que encuentran este tipo de empresas turísticas en su integración a RLC. Es una investigación exploratoria que presenta la revisión de 92 artículos científicos de revistas internacionales. Se optó por un diseño articulado a la Teoría Fundamentada (TF) que permitió la creación de 25 subcódigos que corresponden a las ventajas a las que acceden las empresas turísticas al incorporarse a RLC. Se llevó a cabo un análisis de tipo relacional para identificar las ventajas y visualizar las relaciones entre sí a través de una red. Con el software ATLAS. ti 8.4 y con Gephi se realizó un análisis de modularidad a la red con la finalidad de explorar las ventajas a las que predominantemente pueden acceder las empresas turísticas. Finalmente, se identificaron tres comunidades de subcódigos en las que se agrupan las ventajas más sobresalientes; particularmente, el intercambio de conocimiento e información se colocan como el principal soporte para la innovación debido a que facilitan el acceso a nuevos recursos, reducen los costos de transacción y permiten la creación de una cultura de coooperación

    Get PDF
    The study is devoted to the formation of intercultural competency in personnel training for international tourism. Intercultural competency must be constantly verified, maintained, and updated, since the identities of the communicants, the cultural contexts, and the communication strategies themselves are constantly developing and changing in international tourism. The level of success in the formation of the intercultural competency of a specialist in tourism activities depends on the type of their native culture and the cultural-specific features of their cultural archetype, as well as how developed the tourism sector in their culture is, what are the traditions of receiving guests in their cultural community, and, accordingly, how difficult in this sense can be the intercultural transformation of the communicant’s personality in the process of learning, practice, and various types of obtaining and accumulating experience of intercultural communication

    FORMATION OF THE LINGUACULTURAL COMPONENT IN THE PROCESS OF INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION

    Get PDF
    The research is devoted to the study of the linguacultural component in the process of intercultural communication. It has been established that any language reflects the differences in mentality, culture, and lifestyle of representatives of a certain ethnocultural community. When studying a foreign language, it is necessary to pay attention not only to linguistic but also cultural differences and get acquainted with the rules of communicative behavior in a foreign language cultural space. Knowledge of the linguistic and cultural codes in their interaction allows one to prevent communication problems and conflicts, as well as realize the diversity of the vision of the world through the prism of other languages and cultures. The dynamic nature of intercultural communication presupposes the constant development and improvement of the quality of communication and the formation of a positive attitude towards differences and mutual understanding of cultures in different spheres and at different levels

    METHODOLOGICAL MATRIX FOR SOCIOLOGICAL STUDY OF SOCIAL WELL-BEING OF THE PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL COMMUNITY DURING A COMPLEX EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SITUATION

    Get PDF
    The study examines the phenomenon of social well-being in modern sociology. The purpose of the study is to reassess the subject boundaries and methodological problems of sociological knowledge of the social well-being of the medical community as a special professional group during the COVID-19 pandemic. The novelty of the study is expressed in the definition of internal and external scientific factors that distinguish the methodology of sociological knowledge of social well-being of the professional medical community from psychological and other social and humanitarian research. The study consists of three main parts. The first part reveals the main approaches to the scientific definition of the concept of “social wellbeing”. The second part analyzes the current research practices related to the definition of criteria for social well-being in the field of the professional activity of the medical community. In the third part, an integrative methodological construct is proposed for a sociological study of the social well-being of representatives of the medical community in a difficult epidemiological situation. The possibility of integrating objectivist and subjectivist methodological projections for a better sociological understanding of the essential characteristics of social well-being of medical workers in the context of the transformation of health care as a social institution against the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic is argued. Social well-being is the object of research in social philosophy, economics, law, psychology, and other sciences, each of which, through a special methodology and methodological tools, studies its section of relations in the field of health care. Sociology, in contrast to other scientific systems, offers a wider set of cognitive methods that make it possible to study mechanisms of the formation of social well-being of the professional medical community at the micro and macrolevels. The authors conclude that there is a tendency to overcome the cognitive onesidedness of various methodological approaches, as well as macro and microsociology, in an attempt to create a sociological concept of the middle level, taking into account the models of social adaptation of physicians to transformational processes in the health care sector
