Impact of promotional tools on reservation channels management: a descriptive model of Italian accommodation facilities
No full textDigital evolution has greatly affected the tourism industry, bringing new challenges and opportunities to accommodation facilities. Literature confirms that new technologies allow building personal and interactive relationships with customers, but also cause tourism service providers to interface with new intermediaries, especially the Online Travel Agencies. However, there is a lack of empirical studies showing which marketing activities are helpful to engage customers and overcome the difficulties highlighted by scholars. This paper aims to bridge the gap, by assessing the relationship between promotional tools used by accommodation facilities and the percentage of bookings received through direct channels, digital direct channels and Online Travel Agencies. Hypotheses are tested through a GLM model with data from 1194 accommodation facilities distributed on the Italian territory, interviewed in the summer 2015. The paper contributes on two levels: by showing which tools, primarily digital, are statistically significant to decrease the dependence from Online Travel Agencies in favor of direct bookings and by highlighting the relevance of the cooperation with destinations. Implications for further research are discussed
An empirical model of long-term development for accommodation facilities: the role of smart destination
No full textThis paper draws on the literature on innovation and networking in tourism industry to investigate how the promotional tools developed by destinations – websites for information and booking, mobile apps, e-commerce websites, tourist cards, Business Intelligence (BI) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software – may contribute to the long-term development of accommodations in the territory. A model is created to analyse the impact of destinations’ digital tools on booking channels, direct and intermediated (both online and offline), and in turn their effect on revenue. Furthermore, a deeper investigation is conducted to have evidence of possible different output by clustering accommodation facilities by location, typology or clientele. Hypotheses are tested with a generalized linear model and an ordered logistic regression on data retrieved from 1,226 accommodations distributed in the Italian territory. Empirical results evidence the contribution of smart destinations in increasing the competitiveness of the tourism firms in the same area

Ep. #024 - Veronica Strang
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Water, water everywhere. The human sciences have become animated by the politics, ethics and materiality of water of late and for good reason. Our guest (11:13) on this week’s Cultures of Energy podcast was one of the first to get this conversation started. Anthropologist Veronica Strang, currently Executive Director of the Institute for Advanced Study at Durham University, is the author of The Meaning of Water (Oxford, 2004) and Water: Culture and Nature (Reaktion, 2015) and a recipient of UNESCO’s International Water Prize. We talk about how the transgressive and transformative properties of water cut across cultures and how its material liquidity complicates our cultural and legal understandings of ownership and property. Veronica explains why we have to think water across scales, from its mediation of individual bodies to how its flows form communities. We talk about the infamous case of Bolivia’s water privatization, efforts to enclose water resources across the world and how contemporary politics of water are undermining democracy. Veronica also reminds us though that efforts to centralize control over water are ancient and that the movements that are now seeking to decentralize water resources also have hope. In closing we discuss cosmological and mythological water beings ranging from rainbow serpents to Chinese water dragons to the Lambton Worm, reputed to live in Durham’s own River Wear. Is our concern with hydration and floods these days informed by the moral economy and sacred vitality of water? Has urbanization caused us to lose touch with the hydrological cycle that so powerfully informed the cultural imaginations of our ancestors? Pour yourself a glass of water and listen on
