Abstract

The emergency of ICT innovations and digital technologies enable tourists to look for destinations worldwide at ease, facilitating improve the destination images and attract numerous tourists to experience tourist service and products in many countries. Replaced traditional approaches to reaching the global markets, the adoption of new technologies has provided alternatively cost-efficient and effective solutions to tourism businesses, management and marketing as well as entire tourism industry as a whole. Therefore, it is empirically stated that digital technologies are considered as a crucial part of the contemporary tourism business.&#13;However, the proliferation of digital technologies leads to challenges for tailoring needs and travel behaviors of tourists because consumers are more customized and demanding. To understand this landscape specifically, Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (called the VNAT), a governmental department in Vietnam with its aims at promoting Vietnam’s tourism, improving the country image and increasing the number of visitors, which is chosen to prove the empirical study about these fields. The thesis attempts to identify how effective the VNAT uses digital strategies to improve the image of Vietnam as a tourism destination and analyze how the VNAT influences on travel decision of international tourists to Vietnam based on their awareness of and interaction with the VNAT’s digital strategies

Abstract

This project thesis was conducted in the frame of an internship for the project of la Ferme des Loups. The latter is a building, recently renovated to become a zytho-bistro-naturo-touristic complex in the village of Forêt. The main activity of the place will be driven by its microbrewery and the launch of a range of beers called “La Louve” (the she-wolf). Therefore, in order to start a marketing strategy, a set of 3 interactive digital communication tools were created: a legend (storytelling), social media accounts (Facebook and Instagram), and a website.&#13;The aim of this paper is to find good practices for the three tools to properly develop and handle the marketing strategy of la Ferme des Loups. &#13;The scientific literature about the three topics was analyzed and allowed to note elements to take into consideration for each. Unfortunately, due to the Covid-19 crisis, the storytelling and social media parts could not be practically measured to confirm the theory and to see how it can specifically apply in this case. &#13;However, in addition to the scientific review, more practical insights could be collected for the website. Indeed, a benchmark analyzing 9 other microbrewery websites was conducted as well as a qualitative study with 15 respondents. It allowed to bring more specific information regarding the “conventions” used for these kinds of platforms, as well as the users’ expectations but also how they feel a microbrewery website should look like and provide information about. &#13;All the resources examined and analyzed compared with what had already be done about the legend, social media, and the website made it possible to provide practical and managerial recommendations to lead the marketing strategy with success moving forward.

Abstract

This book collected studies focused on the management of tourist destinations. Destinations are complex and adaptive systems, where the different elements that make them up have to be oriented towards achieving a common objective that improves the competitiveness of the destination. Five main lines of research on tourist destinations can be established: 1) the management, planning, and marketing of destinations, with special attention to the tourism supply chain, communication, and integral management; 2) the sustainability of resources and capabilities; 3) the renewal of destinations in order to update their offer and main resources to maintain competitiveness; 4) online reputation and communication through social media in order to create and enhance a strong brand image and customer loyalty; and 5) the application of new technologies in order to develop smart destinations. The book is made up of five research studies that focus on analyzing the transition towards a more circular tourist activity in hotels, image as a competitive factor of destinations, the value of cultural creativity, the coherence of online reputation, and the relationship between hotel prices and online reputation in different tourist destinations.

Abstract

This book aims to provide a comprehensive review of the contribution of network analysis to the understanding of tourism destinations and organizations. Theoretical and methodological aspects are discussed along with a series of applications. While this is a relatively new approach in the tourism literature, in other social and natural sciences network analysis has a long tradition and has provided important insights for the knowledge of the structure and the dynamics of many complex systems. The study of network structures, both from a quantitative and qualitative point of view, can deliver a number of useful outcomes also for the analysis of tourism destinations and organizations.

Abstract

Developing sustainable organic agriculture and resilient agribusiness sector is fundamental, keeping in mind the value of the opportunity presented by the growing demand for healthy and safe food globally, with the expectation for the global population to reach 9.8 billion by 2050, and 11 billion by 2100.Lately, the main threats in Europe, and worldwide, are the increasingly dynamic climate change and economic factors related to currency fluctuations. While the current environmental policy provides several mechanisms to support agribusinesses in mitigating organic food for daily increasing human population and stability of the currency, it does not contemplate the relative readiness of individuals and businesses to act correctly.Organic farming is the practice that relies more on using sustainable methods to cultivate crops and produce food animals, avoiding chemicals and dietary synthetic drug inputs that do not belong to the natural ecosystem. Organic agriculture can also contribute to meaningful socioeconomic, ecologically sustainable development, and significantly in the development of the agribusiness sector, especially in developing countries.
