The displacement for voluntary work on rural properties is a form of voluntourism in rural areas. Thus, this article aimed to elucidate the main characteristics of voluntourism in rural properties which work with organic agriculture. For that, qualitative research was conducted with organic products farmers who work with voluntourism in the metropolitan region of Curitiba, Parana, Brazil and quantitative research with volunteers. The results showed that respect to the conduct rules is essential in the rural properties that work with voluntourism. In terms of divulgation, WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) is not the only way to act and promote voluntourism in rural areas and respondents identified that there are some flaws in the service offered by this organization. From the surveyed volunteers it was found that the activity attracts mainly young people with university experience. It was concluded that if voluntourism receives more attention from researchers, farmers and public power it has the potential to become an alternative source of income in rural areas and a differentiated tourism product, especially for its intensity in the exchange of knowledge between tourists and rural producers.
农村财产转移志愿工作是农村公益旅游的一种形式。因此，本文旨在阐明与有机农业相结合的乡村地产公益旅游的主要特征。为此，对在巴西巴拉那州库里蒂巴大都会地区从事公益旅游工作的有机产品农民进行了定性研究，并对志愿者进行了定量研究。结果表明，在与公益旅游合作的农村物业中，尊重行为规则是必不可少的。在信息披露方面，WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms)并不是推动农村公益旅游的唯一途径，受访者认为该组织提供的服务存在一些缺陷。从志愿者调查中发现，该活动吸引的主要是有大学经历的年轻人。结论是，如果公益旅游得到研究者、农民和公共权力的更多关注，它有可能成为农村地区的另一种收入来源和差异化的旅游产品，特别是因为它在游客和农村生产者之间的知识交流强度。

Over the years, the emigration of Portuguese population has been a constant debate, reaching large percentages in certain periods of Portuguese history. This phenomenon has had significant impact in areas such as economy, demography, culture, among many others, visible at national, regional and local levels. Emigrants become Portuguese communities residing outside the country, and emigration generates the emergence of the Portuguese diaspora. The phenomenon of emigration involves the bilateral focus between the country of origin and the country of destination. Therefore, the affection component assumes special importance in tourism studies and decision making by visitors and tourists (e.g. behavioural intentions). In this study, a preliminary contribution is presented based on a sample of 1057 respondents (i.e. Portuguese residing abroad), aiming to better understand and analyse the profile of migrants and what motivates them to return to Portugal in contexts of tourism and leisure. More than 50% of respondents report visiting their home country (Portugal) at least once a year (i.e. ethnic tourism). Therefore, a conceptual model is presented, which seeks to highlight the role of attachment on emigrants` behavioural intensities (i.e. choosing the tourist destination Portugal). The results show that attachment influences the decision of emigrants to choose Portugal as a holiday destination, namely with regard to satisfaction and loyalty to the destination (revisit and recommendation). In the end, conclusions and limitations of the study will be presented and guidelines for future research will be discussed.

Religious tourism relates to tourism which is motivated by faith or religious beliefs. Religious tourism has resulted in individuals moving from one place to the other for purposes of partaking in religious festival celebrations. The purpose of the present study was therefore to investigate antecedents of intention to engage in religious festivals. To provide context to the research, two religious festivals were the focus of the study namely, Holi and Christmas. Non-probability sampling, a form of convenience sampling, was adopted in selecting participants. Data was obtained from 224 participants who reside in Johannesburg, South Africa. Data collection involved the administration of a survey questionnaire. The antecedents of the intention to participate in religious festivals included attitudes and subjective norms. The findings from the study suggested that attitudes had the most significant impact towards intention to engage in religious festivals. Suggestions for future research and implications of the research are discussed.

Networks are cooperation arrangements that have gained importance over the last century. In the future, network-based and network structures will be among the most important organizational models. Therefore, this assumption formed the basis of the questionnaire designed for conducting this research. The objectives of this research are: (1) to examine hotel decision-makers’ perceptions about the future of networks in tourism and (2) to analyse the influence of online distribution on hotel marketing consortia. A questionnaire was sent to four- and five-star hotel units in Portugal. Quantitative and qualitative data analysis was performed. Main conclusions and recommendations for both academics and practitioners are then presented and discussed.

Tourist satisfaction, as one of the important measures of destination performance, has been widely used by destination managers to improve their service offerings and hence attract more visitors. The present study analyses the level of satisfaction the tourists have with two heritage sites namely Nizwa Fort and Bahla Fort in the Aldhkhiliyah region of the Sultanate of Oman. 162 tourists were surveyed on-site through a bilingual (English and Arabic) questionnaire composed of 27 statement, 25 of which were categorized in four major variables as Facilities (9 statements), Appearance and Maintenance (4 statements), Accessibility (8 statements) and Quality of Services (4 items); and 2 statements were used to check overall satisfaction of the tourists. While the respondents were overall satisfied with the two sites, they rated certain dimensions of the two heritage sites higher than the others. It is hoped that the findings will help the site managers and policy makers at the two heritage sites to focus on the visitors concerns and improve on those components to increase visitor satisfaction.

Festival tourism has been growing considerably over the years, acquiring a prominent position and with strong popularity in society. Festivals and/or events promote a cultural exchange at international, national and local levels, with the opportunity for cultural sharing, from history and tradition, culinary and drinks, music and dance, involving all publics (organization, services, artists, participants and local inhabitants). Festivals are recognized as an effective strategy for host destinations promoting economic, social and cultural development. The present study aims to test the mediator role of quality and satisfaction in the relationship between the motivation in the choice of performing arts festivals and the loyalty of the tourists. The sample consisted of 532 respondents, collected at two performing arts festivals: Andancas festival (Portugal) and La Sierra festival (Spain). The results of the study show that tourists motivated to attend performing arts festivals, tend to perceive the festival as having quality, and are satisfied with the service, which in turn tend to revisit and recommend the festival. The study discusses the implications of the obtained results. It also presents limitations and suggests future studies.

The main objective of this research was to study the impact of destination brand experience on tourist behavioral intention. Sample area of the study included four essential tourism destinations of the Kashmir valley, India viz: Gulmarg, Pahalgam, Sonamarg and the famous Boulevard Road. The convenient sampling method was applied for sampling purposes and total responses obtained were 385 out of 450. SPSS 25.0 has been used to analyze data and study the overall impact of the destination brand experience on tourist's satisfaction and revisit intention. Several strategies are suggested that are based on the findings, like how to improve the different experiences. The results of the study demonstrate that tourists perceive a branded destination differently. The different kinds of experiences lead tourists dependent on destination. The different factors under brand experience that have been studied show how each factor contributes to tourists satisfaction and leads to their intentions in the future.

In the last years, tourism has been growing significantly in urban settings. This growth led to a number of positive impacts, but the uncontrolled expansion of tourism related activities (the ‘overtourism’ effect) has caused many negative outcomes. This paper entails a reflection on sustainable tourism in urban contexts, focusing on locals’ perceptions of tourism impacts on their daily lives. A survey was conducted of 151 residents and workers of the city centre of Porto, Portugal, aiming at a deeper understanding of the social, cultural, and economic, impacts resulting from the exponential development of tourism in the city. The findings suggest that, at this early stage of development, locals agree with the development of tourism in the city and consider that it improved their overall living conditions. However, there are concerns with housing prices and rising cost of living. The resulting data allowed to design a set of guidelines to build a sustainable development model for urban tourism destinations, assuring the local communities’ quality of life, where several preventive measures are presented that aim to preserve the sociocultural sustainability of urban communities.
