title: The role of women in rural tourism: a study in the Planaltina's Rajadinha circuit - Federal Districts

description: Abstract This study aims to investigate the reality of women working in rural tourism in the region of Planaltina, Federal District (FD). It contributes, therefore, to the discussion of gender and tourism in the context of rural tourism. This, while sub-modality of Tourism in Rural Areas (TRA), is a segment of the countryside and includes the range of non-agricultural activities that have been developed in the rural areas in recent years as a strategy for maintenance and survival. Simultaneous with these functional changes of the rural space, new forms of organization of family life are observed, in which the proximity between the tasks performed in the domestic environment and rural tourism activities contributes to the redefinition of roles and gender division of labor. Thus, this study was carried out in the Rajadinha Circuit, a project created in 2014 in the region of Planaltina, FD. Of the 10 properties that make up the Circuit, eight participated in the study and 10 women were surveyed. This work is characterized as a qualitative case study. A semi-structured interview script was applied to understand the reality of women who work directly in the development of rural tourism in the Circuit. The results suggest that the rural tourism activities promoted a positive relationship between women and men involved. We observed that in the Circuit female labor is not just a supplementary activity, it is a key element for maintaining rural tourism on the farms studied and takes the leading role in this rural context.

title: Youth tourism? Traveling in the biographies of young people of popular neighborhoods of Buenos Aires

description: Abstract In this article, I present results of my doctoral thesis whose general objective is to analyze the experiences of young people from Buenos Aires' popular neighborhoods, investigating the articulation between mobilities and corporalities in their individuation processes. A qualitative approach was used, following grounded theory procedures. Semi-structured interviews, biographical focus, and participant observation were conducted in a social organization that offers free circus workshops to young people from popular neighborhoods. Research has begun to examine youth tourism, highlighting the increase of young travelers and tourist centers created around them. However, the possibilities of traveling and ‘vacation’ differ between different social groups. Its approach becomes a way of recognizing inequalities. This paper identifies the characteristics of the trips present in the biographies of interviewed young people, the way they perceived those trips, the meanings around them, as well as the enabling and limiting factors for undertaking them. By analyzing the narratives, it is possible to distinguish three types of trips: those made possible and motivated by family bonds, those proposed by religious groups settled down in the city’s popular neighborhoods for survival in nature, and those projected to future, as a desire of potential mobility.

title: Culture, sustainability and tourism destination image: a comparative study on the sub-regions of Brazil

description: Abstract The use of 'sustainability' as a factor of market differentiation has been recurrent among tourism destinations. However, the image of these settings is not free of influence of external factors, such as culture. In countries with large territorial dimensions, such as Brazil, this phenomenon tends to be even more evident. This is because, in cultural terms, there is not only one, but five different 'Brasils' (Ribeiro, 1995). Thus, this study aims to analyze how the image of the sustainability of tourism destinations can be influenced by the cultural characteristics of the Brazilian consumers’ sub-regions of origin. The innovative character of the study stems from the adoption of an idiographic approach to the cultural dimensions of Hofstede (1980). Five focus groups were conducted among Brazilian nationals, within the different cultural regions of the country, and the data were analyzed through content analysis technique. The results showed that, from the five subregions analyzed, the 'Brasil Sulinas' presented a greater discrepancy regarding the image of the sustainability of tourism destinations. This fact was related to a higher propensity to values corresponding to high levels of masculinity and low aversion to uncertainties. On the other hand, the consumers from the other subregions tended to show similar patterns of thought among themselves, yet contrary to the 'Brazil Sulinas'.

title: Governability of tourist policies: the role of the participation spaces in the perspective of the network analysis and the institutional theory

description: Abstract The discussions presented in this article propose an original reading on the participation in the processes of the tourist implementation policies subject to institutionalized spaces searching for more legitimacy than efficiency. The study is supported by a theoretical outline that sees the reflex of isomorphic processes in the institutional in-force changes. Objective: to study out the specific spaces between the state and non-state actors - projected by the tourist policies - strengthen the new governability. Methodology/Approach: the study of these processes is circumscribed to the imaginary limits of the organizational field defined by the tourist public policies network in Paraiba/Brazil. Both the field and the network were sketched as from the directed interviews, documents and bibliographic analysis and represented by sociograms, formulated via mathematical resources through the Social Network Analysis - SNA. The studied spaces of participation have their headquarters in Joao Pessoa, capital of Paraiba State. Results: the reading of the obtained results suggests that the institutionalized spaces of participation by the new governability have a transforming potential of the tourist reality in Paraiba, as they influence on the actions and strategies of the local actors. Yet, it is still early to assess if the spaces really produce significant institutional changes to deepen really legitimated and more efficient participative processes as well. Their virtuous circle may promote values and practices to strengthen the new governability.

title: Analysis of the Perception of Accommodation Consumers on the Use of Online Travel Agencies (OTAs)

description: Abstract When booking accommodation, there are several factors that influence consumers, such as previous experiences, and acquired information, which over time become increasingly sophisticated. In this way, the present study aimed to analyze consumer perception on the use of Online Travel Agencies (OTA) to book accommodation. Consumers’ profile was described, as well as, use frequency of OTAs according to type of travel, comparing their perceptions of factors that influence the choices made. This research is characterized as descriptive, and exploratory with a quantitative approach. Other previous studies carried out in other countries were used to support this research, such as Law (2009) and Del Chiappa (2013). In the final data collection, 131 questionnaires were obtained with hotel guests in Natal, RN. Data analysis was performed through descriptive statistics, as well as means comparison (ANOVA) to analyze the objectives outlined in the research. Tukey test was used to verify if there were any differences between the means of the studied groups. Among the main results, it was found that most respondents (59%) are occasional consumers of OTAs, followed by moderate users (30.6%), and a small number (9.9%) are frequent OTAs users. Regarding the type of travel, it can be concluded that domestic and leisure travel are the most targeted by accommodation consumers when booking through OTAs. These results provide managers of tourism enterprises, whether traditional or online travel agencies, with useful information on users of online reservations.

title: Authentic Cuba: analysis of tourism advertising, 2002-2016

description: Abstract Tourism and advertising are fields of study that gain interest and space in the academic world, essentially in the scope of Applied Social Sciences. The present work seeks to analyze the Cuban tourism advertising discourse, providing possible interpretations of the contents (text/image) contained in its advertising campaigns, in order to perceive the way the country was promoted in the last decades. The corpus of analysis consisted of 50 posters of the four Cuban tourism advertising campaigns carried out between 2002 and 2016. Through research methods and procedures that included morphological and content analysis, semi-structured interviews, and documentary analysis, the research found that diversification of products and incentives offered by the destination was the main communication strategy in the period, and that cultural attractions are the anchor of the tourist advertising of the island.

title: The ritual of ideological interpellation in LGBT Tourism and the impossibility of the desire that moves

description: Abstract In Tourism, the existing academic literature on LGBT tourism segment have validated market practices and presented, exclusively, as justification for this type of segmentation, the definition of an economic profile of these subjects. In this paper, we aim to problematize the LGBT Tourism segment based on the analysis of the mechanisms of interpellation of the LGBT subject as an LGBT tourist. It questions the way tourism products are promoted to LGBT people, often alluding to sex. However, it does not shy away from recognizing the search for sexual pleasure through tourist movements, but only proposes to expose the mechanisms of control of the desire of LGBT subjects through their interpellation as LGBT tourists. To do this, it takes the promotional brochure of the campaign "¡Trae tus Colores!" as the materiality from which four discursive sequences are taken to compose the analysis corpus. This campaign, supported by the Brazilian Tourism Institute (EMBRATUR), promoted Brazil as an LGBT tourist destination in December 2014 in the cities of Madrid and Valencia, Spain. The analysis of the promotional brochure is based on the theoretical and methodological assumptions of the French Discourse Analysis theorized by Michel Pêcheux, who articulates concepts from three theoretical fields: Psychoanalysis, Historical Materialism, and Linguistics. Therefore, the author brings together the concepts of subject and ideology to discuss the mechanisms by which ideology interpellates these subjects, allowing some meanings to their unconscious desire and disallowing others. This process, responsible for identifying the subject and censoring desire, produces psychic and physical displacements, interpreted here as the search for the realization of desire through travel. Assuming, therefore, that the impossibility of taking a position, as well as inscribing the desire, is what promotes the displacement of the subject, the research returns to the field of Tourism.

title: Migrant entrepreneurship, value-creation practices and urban transformation in São Paulo, Brazil

description: Abstract This paper examines the entrepreneurial practices of migrants, including refugees, establishing and operating businesses providing food, hospitality, leisure, tourism and events-related services and experiences. Drawing on empirical data gathered in São Paulo, Brazil, the study conceptualises how migrants create cultural ‘goods’ (encompassing material objects, services and experiences), which have been subjected to valuation processes. The paper considers the practices through which migrants mobilise identities, histories, and culturally-specific knowledge as resources in constructing experiential propositions. Moreover, we distinguish between five sets of practices: objectification of self; aestheticisation of otherness; authentication of place-specific food experiences; constructing hospitality venues as cultural spaces; and vitrine-ing (creating platforms for showcasing migrant talent). We discuss the potential consequences of these practices for migrants, consumers, urban environments and their residents, and identify avenues for future research.
