The two islands are used as cases illustrating different views on the development of cruise tourism. By applying conjunctural analysis the authors are able to account for the broader context of cruise tourism. Different perspectives on cruise tourism are found to be embedded in both local and global contexts, which are associated with three kinds of challenges: cruise tourism is developing without the local community’s involvement in decision making, it is not aligned with the aims of local tourism and ignores local products and services. We therefore call for more involvement of the local community in the development of cruise tourism.\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":33810,"journal":{"name":"Studia Periegetica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49084043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Celem artykułu jest analiza funkcjonowania podmiotów turystycznych Dolnego Śląska i Małopolski w trakcie pandemii COVID-19 i ocena roli państwa w przeciwdziałaniu skutkom epidemii w turystyce w świetle opinii przedstawicieli sektora turystycznego. Artykuł opiera się na danych zebranych w trakcie badania jakościowego przeprowadzonego wśród ekspertów specjalizujących się w problematyce turystycznej. Zastosowano technikę zogniskowanych wywiadów grupowych i indywidualny wywiad pogłębiony. Otrzymane wyniki wskazują, że respondenci ocenili dość krytycznie podjęte działania państwa w zakresie przeciwdziałaniu skutkom kryzysu gospodarczego. Uczestnicy wywiadów zaznaczali, że oferowana przez państwo pomoc była niewystarczająca w stosunku do zgłaszanych potrzeb. Występowały także trudności z otrzymaniem wsparcia, a część podmiotów turystycznych ze względu na status prawny lub rodzaj prowadzonej działalności była nawet go pozbawiana. Negatywne wypowiedzi ekspertów dotyczyły także sposobów i szybkości przekazywania istotnych z punktu widzenia działalności gospodarczej informacji dotyczących wprowadzania restrykcji i obostrzeń. Wszystkie biorące udział w badaniach podmioty turystyczne uprawnione do otrzymania pomocy publicznej skorzystały z takiego wsparcia. Pomoc do nich kierowana pochodziła z rządowych tarcz antykryzysowych, realizowanych przez wojewódzkie urzędy pracy, Zakład Ubezpieczeń Społecznych czy Polski Fundusz Rozwoju oraz z funduszy regionalnych (urzędów marszałkowskich, urzędów miejskich). Głównym sposobem wydatkowania otrzymanego wsparcia było dofinansowanie wynagrodzeń zatrudnionych pracowników. W toku prowadzonych wywiadów odnotowywano, że analizowana tematyka wzbudziła silne emocje wśród uczestników, co znalazło odzwierciedlenie w zaprezentowanych wypowiedziach.\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":33810,"journal":{"name":"Studia Periegetica","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41296819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis has indicated elements of intangible cultural heritage that can appeal to tourists under particular circumstances. The authors argue that the development of heritage tourism based on a creative approach to designing tourist products in the form of intangible cultural heritage should popularize it in the national tourism market and promote tourism destinations with intangible cultural heritage, such as embroidery and carpet weaving.

Qualitative data were processed using content analysis and SWOT analysis, and were categorised before the triangulation stage. Whereas Spanish inbound and outbound LT markets are quite consolidated, only 17 private companies and 5 public programmes have been identified in the Spanish domestic niche, all of them focusing on English as a foreign language. The private offering is very limited and addressed at very specific segments. As for public programmes, in 2019-2020 they received an estimated funding of 4.7 million euros and were attended by over 9000 individuals. This sector has been scarcely investigated to date and offers an excellent opportunity for proximity travel. A more extensive, diversified offering, supported by better promotion is required.

This case study paper explores the environment which framed the collapse in travel, positioning it as one of conflict and chaos. The main objective is to document and analyse the legal, industry and societal factors which may have contributed to the collapse, identifying the key regulations, decisions, metrics, and societal responses, and exploring their intersection with outbound tourism. Three areas of inquiry are explored, namely: 1) the legal instruments used by government to restrict travel, 2) operational decisions made by industry, and 3) societal and media response to the pandemic. Three findings are presented from the desk research. First, it is suggested that the conflicting agendas of government and public health, the mainstream media and the travel industry would be more effectively dealt with in private as opposed to via news articles, social media arguments, and openly published letters. Second, clarity of communication from all three bodies needs improvement due to its impact on consumer confidence.

W obszarze badań nad zachowaniami zdrowotnymi coraz większe znaczenie nadaje się czynnikom ekonomiczno-społecznym, związanym z zamożnością, pozycją społeczną i kapitałem społecznym. Przypuszcza się, że nierówności społeczne mogą w istotny sposób bezpośrednio lub pośrednio oddziaływać na zdrowie młodzieży i na jej przyszłość. Celem niniejszych badań jest zidentyfikowanie zależności między zachowaniami sprzyjającymi zdrowiu i ryzykownymi dla zdrowia deklarowanymi przez piętnastoletnią wrocławską młodzież a warunkami życia i środowiskiem lokalnym. Materiał niniejszego artykułu stanowią dane uzyskane w wyniku badań 34 szkół we Wrocławiu. W ocenie zachowań zdrowotnych posłużono się: Międzynarodowym Kwestionariuszem Zachowań Zdrowotnych Młodzieży Szkolnej HBSC (Health Behaviour in School-aged Children) o potwierdzonej trafności i rzetelności. Zróżnicowanie wybranych zachowań zdrowotnych odniesiono do zasobów materialnych rodziny FAS (Family Affluence Scale), nasilenia problemów w środowisku lokalnym, a także percepcji kapitału społecznego w badanym środowisku. Z przeprowadzonych badań wynika, że wrocławska młodzież o wyższym poziomie zamożności rodziny mniej czasu wolnego poświęca na oglądanie telewizji, granie w gry komputerowe czy korzystanie z Internetu. Wzrost zamożności rodziny mierzony skalą FAS nie zawsze był skorelowany z zachowaniami sprzyjającymi zdrowiu. Młodzież o najniższym poziomie zamożności rodziny najczęściej deklarowała niespożywanie alkoholu. Wysoki poziom postrzegania kapitału społecznego w środowisku lokalnym okazał się istotnie skorelowany z zalecaną codzienną aktywnością fizyczną. Ponadto, im wyższy deklarowano poziom postrzegania kapitału społecznego, tym częściej piętnastolatkowie palili tytoń.
