Abstract

The innovations brought by the sharing economy model through digital booking platforms have produced changes in the dynamic of the accommodation supply in many tourism destinations. The fastness with which changes occur has left this market segment either largely unaccounted for statistically, or poorly regulated, and Maramureș Land, a known cultural and rural tourism destination with inherent regional and local particularities, is no exception. The study raises the issue of evidence regarding the level of adoption and the true scale of the accommodation supply in the area by focusing on listings from two of the most popular digital booking platforms – Booking.com and Airbnb, an aspect that can support policy-making adapted to its specific characteristics. These objectives were pursued through an empirical methodological approach to map the spatiotemporal distribution of listings from the area of Maramureș Land between 2010 and 2023. The methodology assumed the creation of an M.Excel database with all listings from the area, the extraction of descriptive variables and coordinates, the conversion of coordinates into vector point data, and the subsequent analysis using vector and attribute data processing instruments in QGIS.

作为共享经济平台的 Airbnb 和 Booking.com 上的房源在罗马尼亚马拉穆雷旅游胜地的时空分布情况

共享经济模式通过数字预订平台带来的创新改变了许多旅游目的地的住宿供应动态。由于变化迅速，这一细分市场要么基本没有统计，要么监管不力，马拉穆雷地区也不例外，该地区是著名的文化和乡村旅游目的地，具有固有的区域和地方特色。本研究通过关注两个最受欢迎的数字预订平台（Booking.com 和 Airbnb）的房源信息，提出了有关该地区住宿供应的采用水平和真实规模的证据问题。为了实现这些目标，我们采用了一种实证方法来绘制 2010 年至 2023 年间马拉穆雷大陆地区的房源时空分布图。该方法假设创建一个包含该地区所有列表的 M.Excel 数据库，提取描述性变量和坐标，将坐标转换为矢量点数据，然后使用 QGIS 中的矢量和属性数据处理工具进行分析。

期刊介绍： GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites is a scientific publication, with an international status. The Journal is issued under the aegis of the University of Oradea, Department of Geography, Tourism and Territorial Planning, Territorial Studies and Analysis Centre (Romania) and the Academy of Physical Education and Sports from Gdańsk, Faculty of Tourism and Recreation (Poland). At the initiative of an international group of specialists, based on an editorial and scientific committee with a wide international coverage, including leading figures in the field, in 2008 was published the first English issue of the GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites. The printable format (2-3 issues per year) is supported by the on-line version. The journal aims to publish relevant contributions in tourism, geosites and other areas whose analysis is related to these fields, standing out through originality and scientific contribution to the knowledge and development of this area. An important objective is to promote academic and applied research based on interdisciplinarity with a complex local and global approach.
