Abstract Studies on the spatial patterns of economic activity contribute to economic performance management, planning, and promotion. Investors, policymakers, and social organizations have access to valuable information on the concentration and location of activity. Spatial patterns of tourism have been studied to better organize tourist flows, optimize existing infrastructure, plan new facilities, and promote new destinations. In the late 1960s, the Central Mexican government started projects aimed at constructing large tourism facilities primarily for foreign visitors. These were called centros integralmente planeados or “fully planned centers” (CIP’s) and were headed by Fondo Nacional de Fomento al Turismo (National Tourism Promotion Fund) FONATUR. The objective of this study is to explore the spatial distribution patterns of tourism establishments in five municipalities where CIP?s are located. The study uses exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) tools, such as average nearest neighbor index, standard deviation ellipse, spatial kernel density, global and local indicator of spatial autocorrelation, applied to geographic information system (GIS) data representing tourism establishments. The results show changes in establishment distribution and orientation, as well as spatial concentration in all cases and years. All CIP?s experienced a significant reduction in establishments, particularly small and medium-sized businesses. This paper is one of the first to analyze simultaneously the spatial distribution and concentration of tourism establishments in five municipalities where CIP’s are located.
经济活动的空间格局研究有助于经济绩效的管理、规划和促进。投资者、政策制定者和社会组织可以获得有关活动集中度和地点的宝贵信息。研究旅游空间格局，以更好地组织旅游流，优化现有基础设施，规划新的设施，促进新的目的地。在20世纪60年代末，墨西哥中部政府开始了旨在建设主要面向外国游客的大型旅游设施的项目。这些中心被称为“全面规划中心”，由Fondo Nacional de Fomento al Turismo(国家旅游促进基金)FONATUR领导。摘要本研究的目的是探讨五个直辖市旅游机构的空间分布格局。S被定位。本研究采用探索性空间数据分析(ESDA)工具，如平均最近邻指数、标准差椭圆、空间核密度、空间自相关全局和局部指标等，对代表旅游场所的地理信息系统(GIS)数据进行分析。结果表明，在不同的案例和年份中，其机构分布和朝向以及空间集中度都发生了变化。CIP吗?美国的机构，特别是中小型企业大幅减少。本文首次同时分析了CIP所在的5个直辖市旅游设施的空间分布和集中度。

Abstract Internet presence is essential for tourism companies. Health resorts are a tourism resource of prime importance for the image of a wellness tourism destination. This paper analyses the content of the official websites of Spanish spas, as well as their level of maturity in the development of e-commerce. For this purpose, a model for the analysis of websites based on the content analysis technique is proposed, as well as on the extended model of internet commerce adoption (eMICA) methodology. The model was applied to 106 spas with online presence. The results indicate that although spas seem to be prepared to carry out online transactions, a significant share have basic Internet presence, with a mainly informative function.

Abstract The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 had a huge impact on the life course of all of us. This rapid spread has also caused an increase in the research production in topics related to different aspects of COVID-19. Italy has been one of the first countries to be massively involved in the outbreak of the disease. In this paper, we present an extensive scientometric analysis of the research production both at global (entire literature produced in the first 2 years after the beginning of the pandemic) and local level (COVID-19 literature produced by authors with an Italian affiliation). Our results showed that US and China are the most active countries in terms of number of publications and that the number of collaborations between institutions varies depending on geographical distance. Moreover, we identified the medical-biological as the field with the greatest growth in terms of literature production. As regards the analysis focused on Italy, we have shown that most of the collaborations follow a geographical pattern, both externally (with a preference for European countries) and internally (two clusters of institutions, north versus center-south). Furthermore, we explored the relationship between the number of citations and variables obtained from the data set (e.g. number of authors). Using multiple correspondence analysis and quantile regression we shed light on the role of journal topics and impact factor, the type of article, the field of study and how these elements affect citations.

Abstract Despite the growing attention in the last years on the topic of systemic risk, a widely accepted definition of systemic crisis is missing. We use a theoretical scheme to subjectively define a systemic event. This permits the analysis of a financial crisis as a standard binary classification problem, providing an intuitive and useful framework to compare systemic risk measures defined in very different fields. Then we focus the empirical analysis on the comparison of the performance of correlation-based systemic risk measures using the standard tools for the evaluation of binary classifiers as the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the area under the curve (AUC). We show that the binary classification framework is useful but unable to capture some significant differences among the measures under comparison. The experimental approach, developed on real financial data, is divided in an in-sample exercise, able to evaluate the descriptive power of the different systemic risk measures, and an out-of-sample application to evaluate the capacity of the measures in preventing and predicting systemic events. The forecasting ability of a measure can be fundamental for policy makers and investors respectively to stabilize market fluctuations and to reduce the losses.

Abstract This paper presents a systematic review update regarding mindfulness theories applied to tourism, complemented with a bibliometric analysis. Scientific studies listed in the WOS, SCOPUS, PubMed and PsycInfo databases were analysed using PRISMA guidelines. Twenty-five studies were selected for review from 670 records identified. In recent years, mindfulness has proved to be a promising area of research in tourism, and the number of published studies is increasing. The findings reveal a positive association between mindfulness and tourism experiences, suggesting that tourists who adopt states of mindfulness during their travels benefit from increased pro-environmental behaviours, satisfaction levels, and memorable experiences, leading to destination loyalty. This study provides an in-depth overview of the literature, and helps redress the lack of bibliometric studies in this field. It also identifies common areas of current research interest, offers insights into commonly studied themes, and seeks to raise awareness about the relevance of the concept of mindfulness in tourist experiences and well-being by suggesting implications for research and tourism management.

Abstract When it comes to presenting qualitative research in a language other than the participants’ native language the decision-making processes involved are not often fully addressed. Drawing on research with 32 Mexican women aged 60 and over and addressing a significant gap in guidance available to bilingual novice researchers and/or aspiring Ph.D. candidates, this article discusses the complexities of shifting between languages while conducting auto/biographical research. It also explores the researcher’s own positionality as insider/outsider and how these issues impact the research outcomes and knowledge production. It particularly highlights the dual role as researcher and Spanish–English translator and provides details about the methodological decisions undertaken regarding wording selection and interpretation across languages. Ultimately, this article contends that cross-language researchers need to systematically address the unique translation issues involved and make explicit the dilemmas and consequences of moving between languages in which participants’ auto/biographies are analysed, written-up and published.
