Exploring the determinants of satisfactory shark tourism experiences from the participants' perspective in Gansbaai, South Africa
Gansbaai, a small coastal town in South Africa, is considered "the shark cage diving capital of the world", despite there being over 40 shark tourism destinations worldwide. However, Gansbaai has one outstanding feature which few other destinations have: great white sharks. Because of this, Gansbaai attracts visitors from all over the world who travel to the area with the expectation to witness this particular species, making it an international hotspot for shark tourists. However, in recent years, a decline in the great white shark population has been widely reported in the media. The decline of the shark population is not only a problem for South Africa, but globally. Today, 172 shark species are already on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Yet, South Africa is one of the few places on earth where humans have the opportunity to interact with this species at close range. The outcry is great, as the impact on the South African shark industry has been profound. It seems that this has also had an impact on the satisfaction of the participants, as an ad-hoc analysis of online ratings shows. This is critical for the industry, as potential participants nowadays take their cue from the experiences of previous people.The main reason for this is the confusing plethora of tourism services available today. Therefore, the online review platform TripAdvisor has become a reliable source for travel decisions. Accordingly, analyses of online reviews have become particularly popular in the tourism and hospitality industry as it allows service providers to gain insight into what influences consumer satisfaction. This shows the importance for tour operators in Gansbaai's shark industry to understand what influences visitor satisfaction in order to adjust their concepts sustainably. Therefore, the aim of the study is to identify the factors which influence visitor satisfaction in the shark tourism industry in Gansbaai based on TripAdvisor reviews.

Historical Atlas of New Mexico
New Mexico's long and dramatic history was in many ways predestined by its location, vast size, and abundant mineral resources. Treasure-hunting Spanish explorers tramped across its plains and scaled its mountains in search of the Seven Cities of C穩bola in the sixteenth century. In clashing with descendants of the prehistoric Indian population, the Spanish began three centuries of struggles that lasted through the nineteenth century when the steamroller of United States expansion arrived. The history of New Mexico is the story of the blending of the three cultures--Hispanic, Indian, and Anglo.In this volume, a historian and a cartographer collaborate to depict specific aspects of the state's geography and events of its history, with the narrative illustrated through maps. Topics include geographical data (from topography to weather), sites of prehistoric civilizations, Spanish and United States expeditions, first towns, historic trails, the Civil War, stagecoach lines, railroads, county boundaries, principal cities and roads, state and national parks and monuments, and state judicial districts.

Nachhaltigkeit als Herausforderung der Kreuzfahrtbranche
Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Sonstiges, Note: 1,0, Heinrich-Heine-Universit瓣t D羹sseldorf, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht und beleuchtet die unterschiedlichen Aspekte der Nachhaltigkeit in der Kreuzfahrtbranche. Die Untersuchung fokussiert dabei nicht nur die Reedereien und die Situation an Bord, sondern gew瓣hrt einen breiten Gesamt羹berblick, bei dem auch die verschiedenen Stakeholderinteressen sowie Ph瓣nomene und Entwicklungen an Land betrachtet werden. Einen gro?en Wert wird dabei auf die drei Dimensionen (S瓣ulen) der Nachhaltigkeit gelegt - n瓣mlich die ?kologie, die Gesellschaft und die ?konomie. Darauf aufbauend folgt schlie?lich eine Betrachtung der Ergebnisse im Lichte der Covid-19-Pandemie.
Energiemanagement in der Hotellerie. Wie kann man das Klima sch羹tzen und Kosten senken?
Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Hotelmanagement, Note: 1,3, HAWK Hochschule f羹r angewandte Wissenschaft und Kunst - Fachhochschule Hildesheim, Holzminden, G繹ttingen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit richtet sich an speziell an Energiefragen interessierte Hoteliers, aber vor allem auch an diejenigen, die Interesse daran haben, im Hotelgewerbe durch einen verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit k羹nstlichen und nat羹rlichen Ressourcen ihre Energiekosten zu senken oder Installationen zur Energieeinsparung umzusetzen, um sich somit aktiv f羹r eine allgemeine Reduktion des Energieverbrauches zu engagieren. Das Thema Energiemanagement ist seit Jahren ein wesentlicher Bestandteil f羹r die Wirtschaft. Klimaerw瓣rmung und Folgen des Klimawandels sowie der Anstieg von CO2-Emissionen sind eines der gr繹?ten globalen Probleme des 21. Jahrhunderts. Deshalb ist es wichtig geworden, sich intensiver mit diesem Thema auseinanderzusetzen. Mit den zur Implementierung vorgestellten Ma?nahmen des Energiemanagements soll aufgezeigt werden, dass in der Hotellerie wirtschaftliche Energieeinsparpotenziale bestehen sowie diese fr羹hzeitig erkannt und mit gezielten Ma?nahmen und teils geringem Aufwand erreicht werden k繹nnen. Dar羹ber hinaus l瓣sst sich der fortschreitende Klimawandel durch ein erfolgreiches Energiemanagement positiv beeinflussen. Neben der Betriebskostensenkung und dem aktiven Umweltschutz soll sich der Gast, aber auch jeder einzelne Mitarbeiter durch h繹chste Komfortanspr羹che wohlf羹hlen. Beste Voraussetzungen bieten daf羹r Geb瓣ude, welche durch entsprechende Sanierungen bzw. Erweiterungen energieeffizient umgestaltet werden k繹nnen. Auf praxisnahe Weise sollen die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit dabei helfen, den Hotelbetreiber im verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit Energie zu unterst羹tzen und betriebliche Einsparungsma?nahmen zu realisieren.
The Antrim Coast From A to Z
Between Belfast and Portrush can be found fantastic beaches, stunning cliffs, wild mountains and even wilder glens. The road that links Northern Ireland's greatest city with its premier seaside resort has been frequently heralded one of the world's best drives. Much of the Antrim Coast is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and/or an Area of Special Scientific Interest - and a World Heritage Site, to boot! Like his other books in this series, David meanders through the valleys, forests, towns and villages of the Antrim Coast by taking in the sights, history, geology, and many of the people that make this such a special place.How did the Giant's Causeway get its name? Where was the worlds first Hydro-electric powered rail service? Which former pop star owns a nineteenth century tower in Cushendall? Why does Rathlin Island have a building named after Richard Branson? How many died before the Titanic hit the iceberg? Why would you want to climb to the top of a gas holder in Carrickfergus? Are there nine or ten Glens of Antrim? Why was an elephant allowed to roam the streets of Newtownabbey during World War II?These and many other questions are answered in The Antrim Coast From A to Z.The guide includes over 50 suggestions for further reading, many of which can be downloaded freely by following the hyperlinks at the end of each chapter.
Corporate Social Responsibility in the Hospitality Industry and its contribution to the welfare of local communities. The case of Hilton Hotels
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Tourism - Hotel Management, grade: 1,7, University of Applied Sciences Deggendorf, language: English, abstract: This bachelor this thesis attempts to apply Freeman's (1984) Stakeholder Theory in order to recognize the primary stakeholder groups, in this case, local communities. It will try to answer the following questions: How is the Hilton's CSR strategic level structured? Which role do communities play in Hiltons' CSR strategy? What are the current Hilton's CSR initiatives and goals that contribute to the welfare of communities? Moreover, it helps to clarify the company's behaviour and relationship with its stakeholders, having in mind Freeman's major idea that the best responses to the strong influence of stakeholders in a company are to balance their conflicting and challenging demands through the constant evaluation of the company's sustainable best practices. In addition, this thesis aims to examine the implication of CSR in the hospitality industry and analyse the current CSR initiatives and best practices in the hospitality industry towards the welfare of communities. Thus, this research intends to evaluate in detail the CSR strategy of one renowned international hotel corporation in order to classify the important role that communities play in the strategy and to identify CSR initiatives and best practices towards the communities as stakeholders in the hospitality industry. This study takes as example the Hilton Worldwide Hotels. The literature part of this thesis is composed by four main chapters: the introduction and research questions, the development of the CSR idea, followed by its implication in the tourism and hospitality industry and the central problematic of CSR in international hotel companies towards local communities and finally, an introduction to the relation between the hospitality industry and the society and communities. After the introductory part, the second part introduces and desc
Destinationsmarketing der Insel Sylt. Was die Marke Sylt so erfolgreich macht
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Sonstiges, Note: 1.2, Hochschule Mittweida (FH), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit besch瓣ftigt sich mit dem Destinationsmarketing der Insel Sylt und untersucht, welche Ma?nahmen die Marke Sylt so erfolgreich machen. Um zu verstehen, was ein erfolgreiches Destinationsmanagement und eine optimale touristische Vermarktung ausmachen, ist es zun瓣chst notwendig, einige wichtige Fachausdr羹cke deutlich zu machen. Des Weiteren geht es darum, zu verstehen, was die Bezeichnung "Marke" eigentlich impliziert und eine touristische Zielregion und eine Destinationsmarke eigentlich unterscheiden. In den theoretischen Grundlagen geht es somit um einer Auseinandersetzung mit der Definition und Fachliteratur, bevor anschlie?end das Fallbeispiel Sylt genauer untersucht wird, um nach der Theorie auch ein Gef羹hl f羹r die Praxis zu erhalten. Die Insel Sylt wurde gew瓣hlt, da kaum eine andere Insel in Deutschland bei so wenig Fl瓣che eine derart breite Aufmerksamkeit bekommt und so sehr polarisiert. Schon mehrfach wurde die Insel als DIE Destinationsmarke Deutschlands ausgezeichnet, obwohl man bis 2003 mit Imageproblemen zu k瓣mpfen hatte. Auch die Notwendigkeit und das Wirken von Destination Management Companies wird am Beispiel Sylt sch繹n deutlich, denn die Sylt Marketing GmbH leiste eine sehr ausgefeilte Arbeit, die Material liefert, um das Management genauer untersuchen zu k繹nnen. Sylt hat sich langsam von einem anf瓣nglichen vor allem durch Landwirtschaft gepr瓣gten Eiland zu Deutschlands beliebtestem Feriendomizil entwickelt und dabei stets auch geschafft seinen urspr羹nglichen Charakter beizubehalten.
