In recent years, the tourism sector has experienced significant expansion, with the beach ecosystem emerging as the most popular destination for recreational and leisure pursuits. The proliferation of marine tourism activities has resulted in undeniable ecological consequences, including but not limited to the generation of solid waste, noise and air pollution, unattractive landscapes, and degradation of the coastal biome. The Blue Flag certification has been widely embraced by several coastal municipalities as a means of addressing the adverse environmental consequences that arise from tourism and recreational activities. The objective of this research is to evaluate the perceptions and level of awareness of beach visitors regarding the Blue Flag award, as well as determine if their selection of a beach destination is influenced by the Blue Flag standards. The study employed a quantitative methodology and gathered data, using convenience sampling, from beach visitors at nine Blue Flag beaches located in KwaZulu-Natal. The data was collected through a structured, self-administered questionnaire. The findings suggest that there is a dearth of awareness among beach visitors regarding the Blue Flag certification and that certain criteria associated with the award have an impact on their selection of beaches. The study is expected to yield significant advantages in enhancing and strengthening the Blue Flag certification programme within the country at large. Additionally, it will promote the necessity of public environmental education and awareness regarding the award.
近年来,旅游业经历了显著的发展,海滩生态系统成为最受欢迎的休闲娱乐目的地。海洋旅游活动的激增造成了不可否认的生态后果,包括但不限于固体废物的产生、噪音和空气污染、景观缺乏吸引力以及沿海生物群落的退化。蓝旗认证已被一些沿海城市广泛接受,作为解决旅游和娱乐活动产生的不利环境后果的一种手段。本研究的目的是评估海滩游客对蓝旗奖的认知和意识水平,并确定他们对海滩目的地的选择是否受到蓝旗标准的影响。这项研究采用了定量方法,并利用方便的抽样,从夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省九个蓝旗海滩的海滩游客那里收集了数据。数据是通过一份结构化的、自我管理的问卷收集的。调查结果表明,海滩游客对蓝旗认证缺乏认识,与该奖项相关的某些标准影响了他们对海滩的选择。预期这项研究将对在全国范围内加强和加强蓝旗核证方案产生重大的好处。此外,还将宣传大众环境教育的必要性和对该奖项的认识。

This study used the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to examine the application of the main safety rules in ecotourism activities in a marine salt pan during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results suggest that, among the activities analyzed, the best way perceived to maintain social distance was the guided tour activity, while hand hygiene was seen as the most important in the saline bath and in the combined activity. Mask was generally removed in activities involving immersion in water by tourists. These measures were crucial to ensure a sense of security and wellbeing both for tourists and employees of the tourism and hospitality industry.
本研究采用层次分析法(AHP)研究了2019冠状病毒病大流行期间海盐盘生态旅游活动中主要安全规则的应用情况。结果表明,在所分析的活动中,导游活动被认为是保持社会距离的最佳方式,而在盐水浴和联合活动中,手卫生被认为是最重要的。游客在水中活动时,一般会摘下口罩。这些措施对于确保游客以及旅游业和酒店业员工的安全感和幸福感至关重要。

The recreational scuba diving industry plays an important role in coastal countries of South East Asia with a significant economic contribution toward tourism receipts. Recreational scuba diving is one of the fastest-growing tourism industries around the world, although that accelerated growth was largely impaired by the coronavirus outbreak. The study aims to investigate how scuba diving businesses in Thailand are adapting to the new normal. An exploratory framework serves as the basis to collect empirical data through 25 semi-structured in-depth interviews with business owners and industry experts. The following themes were identified through the thematic analysis: business model scaling, global competitiveness, environmental sustainability, domestic market and customer behavior, and government measures and support. The article concludes by discussing the results and providing implications for policymakers, tourism researchers, and scuba diving business owners.

Tourism was the major contributor to the GDP and employment in Fiji, which changed after COVID-19. This study explores the psychological well-being of 82 tourism industry workers from tourism-dominant areas of Fiji who completed an online questionnaire assessing their past experiences, psychological well-being and positive thinking attitude .A regression analysis was performed to analyse the results. The results showed that the psychological well-being and positive attitude scores were very high. An average score in positive feelings from past experiences and a below-average negative attitude indicated that psychological well-being was slightly affected. Findings also reveal that the psychological well-being of males is positively linked to positive and negative experiences of the past. In contrast, for females, it is linked to positive past experiences. This indicates that studies should always account for male and female differences to understand psychological well-being better. These findings will enable the industry, government and related stakeholders to respond to future crises. Practical implications are discussed.
旅游业是斐济国内生产总值和就业的主要贡献者,但在2019冠状病毒病后发生了变化。本研究探讨了来自斐济旅游主导地区的82名旅游业工作者的心理健康状况,他们完成了一份在线问卷,评估他们过去的经历、心理健康状况和积极的思考态度。结果显示,心理幸福感和积极态度得分都很高。从过去经历中获得的积极感受的平均得分和低于平均水平的消极态度表明心理健康受到轻微影响。研究结果还表明,男性的心理健康与过去的积极和消极经历呈正相关。相比之下,对于女性来说,它与积极的过去经历有关。这表明研究应该总是考虑到男性和女性的差异,以更好地了解心理健康。这些发现将使行业、政府和相关利益相关者能够应对未来的危机。讨论了实际意义。

The irresponsible actions of tourists harm the coastal environment. Throwing garbage in the water, damaging green belts and lawns, and throwing disposable material and shopping bags harm the environment and beautification of coastal destinations. Previous researchers have identified the worse effect of tourists’ irresponsible behaviours on the environment and the aquatic ecosystem of coastal destinations. Concern for the coastal destination environment has pushed researchers and destination management officers to identify the underlying behavioural patterns of tourists and proposed strategies for influencing tourists' environment responsible behaviour (ERB). Current research has discussed the significance of destination image in shaping tourists' ERB with the help of the cognitive-conative-affective destination image (DI) model. Further study has discussed the mediating effect of perceived destination trust (PDT) and the moderating role of perceived destination reputation (PDR) in shaping tourists' ERB with the theoretical lens of signalling theory. A self-administrative survey research design was employed, and 954 completed questionnaires were used for data analysis. Data was gathered from the tourists attending coastal destinations located in Karachi, a city in Pakistan. Sitting arrangements for the data collection were made at the exit points of each beach. The study used three categories of hypothesized relationships, direct, mediation and moderation. The findings of the study indicated that cognitive image has an insignificant effect on the tourists' ERB while having a significant effect on the affective image and conative image. Results for affective DI show significant effect on conative DI and tourists’ ERB. Further results for conative image showed a significant effect on ERB. Results for mediation showed significant meditation of PDT among the DI and ERB. Finally, the results for PDR showed significant moderation and further indicated that a high level of PDR raises the level of tourists' ERB. In contrast, tourists showed a low level of ERB when they had a low perception of the destination's reputation. The study has made unique efforts to understand the complex tourists' ERB with the help of the cognitive conative-affective image model and signaling theory
游客不负责任的行为损害了沿海环境。向水中扔垃圾,破坏绿化带和草坪,扔一次性材料和购物袋,危害了沿海目的地的环境和美化。以前的研究人员已经发现,游客不负责任的行为对沿海目的地的环境和水生生态系统造成了更严重的影响。对沿海目的地环境的关注促使研究人员和目的地管理人员确定游客的潜在行为模式,并提出影响游客环境负责行为的策略。目前已有研究利用认知-原生-情感旅游目的地形象模型探讨了旅游目的地形象对游客erbb形成的意义。进一步的研究从信号理论的角度探讨了目的地感知信任(PDT)对游客erbb形成的中介作用和目的地感知声誉(PDR)对游客erbb形成的调节作用。采用自我管理调查研究设计,采用954份问卷进行数据分析。数据是从前往巴基斯坦城市卡拉奇沿海目的地的游客中收集的。在每个泳滩的出口处安排座位收集数据。该研究使用了三类假设关系:直接关系、中介关系和调节关系。研究结果表明,认知形象对游客的erbb的影响不显著,而对情感形象和意向形象的影响显著。结果显示,情感DI对游客主观DI和主观erbb有显著影响。进一步的结果显示,联想图像对ERB有显著影响。调解结果显示DI和ERB对PDT有显著的调解作用。最后,PDR的结果显示出显著的调节作用,并进一步表明高水平的PDR会提高游客的erbb水平。相比之下,当游客对目的地的声誉认知较低时,他们的ERB水平也较低。本研究运用认知本然-情感意象模型和信号理论对复杂游客的erbb行为进行了独特的理解

The multi disciplinary nature of research on yachting leads to a need for a synthesis of prior findings. To fill this gap, this paper presents a systematic review of the literature. Although the search conducted uses terms such as sailboat and cruising, the study focuses on yachting, including both ownership or chartering. The review provides first a descriptive view of the fields, journal outlets, authors, and years of publications. Next, the study shows four mainstreams identified, namely,(1) innovation, (2) consumer experience (3) sustainability, and (4) yacht-related events. Based on the description of prior findings, future research needs are identified

The Future of Scuba Diving Tourism: Assessmentsof Perceived Value and Satisfactionon the Mississippi Gulf Coast 水肺潜水旅游的未来:密西西比海湾沿岸感知价值和满意度的评估
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-01-01 DOI: 10.3727/154427323x16876743482148

Across a range of diving locations, there is a need for greater understanding about what local divers value in their diving experiences and how this might lead to greater satisfaction with this activity in the future. In particular, the Mississippi Gulf Coast is known for its coastal beauty and the tourism that comes from the recreational activities associated with the water. However, scuba divers appear to be an underserved segment of the tourism industry. The coast provides opportunities for local scuba divers to take part in a range of diving activities, but there is minimal support for this tourism activity in Mississippi. To remedy this situation, this study arguesthat the functional,emotional,social, risk, and epistemic value local divers put on their diving experience leads to greater satisfaction in their divingexperience. Accordingly, hypotheses are developed to directly link each dimension of perceived value to satisfaction with the diving experience. Results highlight a significant effect of overall perceived value on satisfaction with the diving experience. Further, the functional and social value factors were also found to have significant and positive relationships with diver satisfaction. Beyond providing greater understanding of what brings local divers greater fulfillment, a larger goal of this research is to discover future ways to better market scuba diving along the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
在一系列的潜水地点,有必要更好地了解当地潜水员在他们的潜水经历中看重的是什么,以及如何在未来提高对这项活动的满意度。特别是,密西西比海湾沿岸以其美丽的海岸和与水有关的娱乐活动所带来的旅游业而闻名。然而,水肺潜水者似乎是旅游业中服务不足的部分。海岸为当地的水肺潜水员提供了参加一系列潜水活动的机会,但在密西西比州,对这项旅游活动的支持很少。为了纠正这种情况,本研究认为,本地潜水员对其潜水体验的功能,情感,社会,风险和认知价值导致他们对潜水体验的满意度更高。因此,假设被开发直接连接感知价值的每个维度与满意度的潜水经验。结果突出了整体感知价值对潜水体验满意度的显著影响。此外,功能因素和社会价值因素也与潜水员满意度有显著的正相关关系。除了更好地了解是什么给当地潜水员带来了更大的满足感之外,这项研究的一个更大的目标是发现未来更好地推销密西西比海湾沿岸水肺潜水的方法。

Shark diving tourism is an industry potentially contributing to shark conservation while supporting economies worldwide. Managing experiences in shark diving tourism is essential to guarantee the sustainability of this industry and the safety of people and sharks. In this context, investigations of what constitutes positive and negative shark diving experiences are necessary to steer management. This qualitative study assessed the perspectives of tourists and professionals (N = 55) concerning positive and negative experiences characterising shark diving tourism. The study focused on Southern Africa, including four shark diving locations in South Africa and Mozambique. The thematic analysis of participants’ responses to a semistructured interview revealed that positive experiences in shark diving tourism include responsible dive operations, edifying experiences, and quality dive sites, while negative experiences include declining natural features and careless behaviour from stakeholders. Taking into account the limitations of this study, the results highlight the importance of ethically sound operational management in shark diving, as well as education, to steer the growth of shark diving tourism as a sustainable industry. Additionally, the results offer guidelines for ensuring positive experiences in shark diving tourism that can support shark conservation while counteracting negative public opinions of sharks.
鲨鱼潜水旅游是一个在支持全球经济的同时,对鲨鱼保护有潜在贡献的产业。管理鲨鱼潜水旅游的经验对于保证这个行业的可持续性以及人类和鲨鱼的安全至关重要。在这种情况下,调查什么构成积极和消极的鲨鱼潜水经验是必要的,以指导管理。本定性研究评估了游客和专业人士(N = 55)对鲨鱼潜水旅游的积极和消极体验的看法。这项研究的重点是南部非洲,包括南非和莫桑比克的四个鲨鱼潜水地点。对参与者半结构化访谈的主题分析显示,鲨鱼潜水旅游的积极体验包括负责任的潜水操作、启发体验和高质量的潜水地点,而消极体验包括自然特征的下降和利益相关者的粗心行为。考虑到本研究的局限性,结果强调了道德健全的鲨鱼潜水运营管理以及教育的重要性,以引导鲨鱼潜水旅游作为可持续产业的发展。此外,研究结果为确保鲨鱼潜水旅游的积极体验提供了指导,可以支持鲨鱼保护,同时抵消公众对鲨鱼的负面看法。
