Tourists’ hotel event experience and satisfaction: an integrative approach

ABSTRACT

Tourists’ hotel event experiences have received little attention in tourism research. By proposing an integrated model of expectation–confirmation theory (ECT) and the experience economy concept, this research explores the relationship between tourists’ event experience and their satisfaction regarding the hotel event setting. The hypothesized model was empirically validated using a sample of 663 tourists who experienced a holiday event at a resort hotel. Results confirmed that the integration of the experience economy and ECT provided a better understanding of tourists’ post-satisfaction in a pleasure-driven setting. This affective–cognitive approach advances the knowledge of tourists’ experiences and satisfaction at hotel events.     

Estimating the long-run effects of socioeconomic and meteorological factors on the domestic tourism demand for Galicia (Spain)

Tourism is one of the more important sectors for the economy of Galicia (northwest of Spain). The aim of our study is to quantify determinants of Galician domestic tourism demand and their impacts. Additionally, confidence intervals for these impacts are calculated by bootstrapping data. The results show that income, Eastern vacations and the celebration of the Holy Year of the Apostle Saint James have had a relevant positive impact on tourism. There is also a significant positive connection between a meteorological phenomenon, the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), and tourism demand. On the other hand, the differential rates of inflation between Galicia and the rest of Spain and the 2008 economic crisis have had a negative effect.     

现阶段我国征地补偿价格标准研究

现阶段我国的征地补偿机制存在补偿额度过低、补偿范围不明确、土地新增收益的归属不清晰等问题。文章以土地二元价值理论为基础,结合马克思的地租与地价理论及科斯定理,旨在提出自己关于征地补偿价格标准改善的可行性建议。该文将不动产估价中的市场比较法与收益法引入征地补偿机制中,提出以下建议:(1)集体与失地农民分开补偿,对于有相关权益的土地的损失也应纳入补偿的范围。(2)市场机制与政府作用相结合进行补偿,其中政府以市场机制为基础在补偿过程中起主导作用。对集体的补偿以当前市价为基准进行补偿,可由市场比较法确定,对失地农民的补偿借鉴不动产估价的收益法,通过其净收益除于以当期活期存款利率为基础而确定的资本化率进行补偿。(3)政府应不断提高自身的行政素养与专业能力,完善其执行与监督机制。(4)完善地籍管理工作,促进产权明晰。(5)新增收益应明确其来源问题,应归作产生新增收益投资行为的投资者。     

基于市场决定理念下的征地补偿标准确定方法研究 ——以甘肃省张掖市城市规划区为例

研究目的：针对现行征地补偿标准确定方法的弊端,探索符合各地实际的征地补偿标准确定方法。研究方法：社会调查法,逻辑推理法,实证研究法。研究结果：按照征地后用途不同采用不同的确定方法能够提高征地补偿标准,保障农民权益,充分体现土地价值,具有可操作性。研究结论：公益性用地采用地价构成法,非公益性用地采用基准地价反算法,从不同角度测算征地补偿标准切实可行。     

深圳市水资源可持续利用主要矛盾及其实现途径探讨

深圳市本地水资源短缺,境外引水愈来愈受到限制,国民经济和人口却持续强劲增长,水资源供需矛盾将日益突出;境外引水和污废水排放及较小的纳污能力,导致水环境恶化,资源供需矛盾加剧;探讨了水资源可持续利用主要矛盾的成因可持续利用的途径。     

国家级新区功能定位及发展建议——基于GRNN潜力评价方法

从规模总量、经济外向性、创新能力及交通区位4个方面的18个指标构建国家级新区发展潜力评价指标体系,运用GRNN(广义回归神经网络)方法,以9个国家级新区及8个具有重要国家级新区潜质的区域(后统称新区)为对象,对其母城进行新区发展潜力综合评价。研究发现:1新区发展潜力差距较大,其中上海、深圳、广州和天津的新区在发展潜力上具有绝对优势;沿海新区普遍经济外向程度高于内陆新区;重庆是内陆唯一一个可与上海、深圳、广州和天津媲美的国家级新区母城,其在规模总量和经济外向性方面具有显著优势。2在对GRNN评价结果进行聚类分析的基础上,将17个新区分为国际竞争型、全国中心型、区域中心型和特殊战略型4类功能模式。文章最后结合各新区设立的战略目的和潜力评价结果,梳理了不同类型新区功能关联,并针对不同功能模式的新区在其母城支撑条件下,实现其功能定位的实施路径进行了初步探讨。     

Measuring the Underground Economy with the Currency Demand Approach: A Reinterpretation of the Methodology,With an Application to Italy

We contribute to the debate on how to assess the size of the underground (or shadow) economy by proposing a reinterpretation of the traditional Currency Demand Approach (CDA) à la Tanzi. In particular, we introduce three main innovations. First, we take a direct measure of the value of cash transactions—the flow of cash withdrawn from bank accounts relative to total non‐cash payments—as the dependent variable in the money demand equation. This allows us to avoid unrealistic assumptions on the velocity of money and the absence of any irregular transaction in a given year, overcoming two severe critiques to the traditional CDA. Second, in place of the tax burden level, usually intended as the main motivation for non‐compliance, we include among the covariates two direct indicators of detected tax evasion. Finally, we control also for the role of illegal production considering crimes like drug dealing and prostitution, which—jointly with the shadow economy—contributes to the larger aggregate of the non‐observed economy and represents a significant component of total cash payments. We propose then an application of this “modified CDA” to a panel of 91 Italian provinces for the years 2005–08.     

构建珍惜地球资源的机制,促进发展方式转变

珍惜地球资源是缓解我国资源环境约束的根本出路.我国节约集约利用地球资源的潜力很大,应积极构建珍惜地球资源的机制,健全节约集约利用地球资源和保护环境的政策法规体系、责任机制、定价机制,加强生态文明建设.以提高能源资源利用效率,培育新的经济增长点,走产业多元化的发展道路,大力发展循环经济为抓手,促进发展方式的转变.
