Purpose – the purpose of this paper is to explore the possibilities of creating an integrated tourist product based on traditional wine production, wine culture and gastronomy, heritage and customs on the example of a small wine-growing area in Virovitica-Podravina County. Methodology – the authors of this paper wanted to examine the views and attitudes of small winery owners considering possibilities of developing a wholesome oeno-gastro experience. Based on the studied literature connected with wine and gastrotourism and the experience economy, as well as based on a field research of the mentioned area, the authors have conducted a structured in-depth interview with the president of Pitomača vine growers’ association and focus group with five winery owners to obtain information on their familiarity with scattered hotel models and the concept of unique tourism products based on the experience economy. Following the interview and data obtained through a focus group, a survey was conducted on a sample of fifteen respondents with the purpose of examining the attitudes of winery owners towards the opportunities and limitations for the development of this tourist product. Findings – the data obtained through the survey indicate the fact that most of the respondents are not familiar with the concept of scattered hotels or the opportunities provided by the market with the development of modern, personalized tourist experiences. Even though the respondents see the potential for developing such tourist product in the examined area, they encounter many obstacles in their reflection, which limits their inclusion in the tourist offer. Contribution – this paper can contribute to raising the awareness of local stakeholders for developing a unique offer by evaluating the existing, unused resources.

The study aims to examine postgraduate dissertations in the areas of social entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship in tourism and entrepreneurship in tourism published in Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States through bibliometric analysis. For this purpose, a total of 126 doctoral dissertations published between 2015-2020 were reached through Proquest Dissertations, YÖK National Dissertations Center, EThOS British Library and EBSCO Dissertations databases. The obtained dissertations were discussed in line with parameters of country where the dissertations were prepared, type of the dissertations, publication year of the dissertations, title of the dissertation’s supervisor, university where the dissertations were prepared, field of study of the dissertations, and research method used in the dissertations. In conclusion, it was found that Turkey was behind the United Kingdom and the United States in terms of quantity of doctoral dissertations published about social entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship in tourism. Social entrepreneurship in tourism has been found to be a current issue that needs to be researched and has a large literature gap for all three countries.
本研究旨在通过文献计量分析,审查在土耳其、英国和美国发表的社会企业家精神、旅游业社会企业家精神和旅游业企业家精神领域的研究生论文。为此,通过Proquest dissertation、YÖK National dissertation Center、EThOS British Library和EBSCO dissertation数据库,共获得2015-2020年间发表的博士论文126篇。根据论文的编制国、论文的类型、论文的出版年份、论文导师的头衔、论文的编制大学、论文的研究领域和论文中使用的研究方法等参数对获得的论文进行了讨论。综上所述,我们发现土耳其在发表关于社会创业和旅游业创业的博士论文数量方面落后于英国和美国。旅游业中的社会企业家精神已被发现是一个需要研究的当前问题,并且对这三个国家都有很大的文献差距。

Purpose – This paper is prepared in connection with the H2020 IMPACTOUR project on “Improving Sustainable Development Policies and Practices to access, diversify and foster Cultural Tourism (CT) in European regions and areas”. It addresses the development of indicators for the management of accessibility in European CT destinations, responding to the growing accessible tourism market as a driver of sustainable tourism strategies. Methodology – The paper describes the development of tools, indicators and metrics for gathering accessibility information, which DMOs may use as part of the IMPACTOUR CT destination management system. It reports on global and European destination management systems and tools, and describes key requirements for accessibility indicators, namely: 1) Validity, 2) Reliability, 3) Universality, 4) Availability, 5) Scalability and 6) Operability. Findings – A set of “core indicators” and additional “optional indicators” are selected for initial testing in the IMPACTOUR Destination Pilot Sites in various EU countries. Pilot destinations and representative groups of citizens and visitors will be engaged in testing and validating the accessibility parameters of the tool and demonstrating how tourists with access requirements can be suitably catered for within the overall framework of sustainable destination management. Contribution – The paper describes the development of information tools supporting CT destinations in managing the demands of the growing accessible tourism market. The use of accessibility indicators in destination management is part of the holistic, data-driven approach promoted by IMPACTOUR, aiming to ensure inclusive cultural tourism for all visitors and citizens in the host communities.

Purpose –The purpose of this study is to identify the criteria for sustainable museums found in reference literature and specified in our research, and to suggest guidelines for museums to follow. Methodology –In our primary research, the criteria for a sustainable museum were interpreted along four pillars, for which in-depth expert interviews were conducted with Hungarian museum professionals. Semi-structured interviews were used to explore the viewpoints, expectations, and perceptions of museum staff. Findings – In terms of environmental sustainability, Hungarian contemporary museums place less emphasis on making the museum building itself more sustainable. However, it is worthwhile for institutions that have long-term plans to become more and more eco-friendly. The issue of economic sustainability is the most problematic for Hungarian museums, which can be greatly improved with an active support community that helps museums either through volunteer work or financially. From a social point of view, one of the most important tasks of museums is to ensure equal opportunities, to reach the widest possible range of people, which is facilitated if the museum can function as a community space that adequately involves museum visitors and if it continuously strengthens its role in education. In terms of cultural sustainability, the responsibilities of museums are collection management, maintaining quality, and artistic vitality. Contribution – We conceptualize and provide a framework for sustainable museums. Through our research, we have contributed to broadening the theoretical background of sustainable museums from the perspective of contemporary art museums.
