Its use in the retail buying process has increased significantly over the last decade, particularly in online search and exchange of information activities. However, little previous holistic research has been conducted on the influence of this device on consumer buying behavior. This article, based on a literature review, analyses the smartphone influences on the buying process when it finishes offline, and the actions that the retailer can perform to enhance the customer experience. A theoretical framework is proposed from each stage of the consumer purchase decision process, in order to define the experience context in terms of consumer behavior. Finally, some implications for retail management and research in the mobile marketing field are discussed.","PeriodicalId":383209,"journal":{"name":"Dos Algarves: A Multidisciplinary e-Journal","volume":"432 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132099561","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 incorporation of strategies to encourage greater interest and involvement of the users are likely to contribute to a more effective dissemination of tourist destinations and their historical and cultural heritage. This paper presents the concepts, strategies and technologies in the design and implementation of the gamified WebGIS3D platform named CulRoute. This platform enables the users to visualize and navigate the three-dimensional virtual models of monuments and to explore the 'treasures' of each monument in a gaming environment, as well as to test their knowledge by answering optional quizzes. From the list of visited monuments and other information available on the platform, the user can create customized routes, save them into files or print as maps for later use.","PeriodicalId":383209,"journal":{"name":"Dos Algarves: A Multidisciplinary e-Journal","volume":"187 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116502332","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 paper starts by presenting a reflection on Augmented Reality and its potential and applications, with a special emphasis on the tourism industry. The increasing possibility to access the Internet anytime, anywhere, together with the unprecedented growth of mobile device penetration has boosted the development of specific applications that seek to respond to the increasing demands of tourists. It is on this premise that the app Viseu Mobile emerges, seeking to enhance the constant use of mobile devices, and making them act as a personal tour guide, based on location based information. The different stages of development and different features of the application are also explained.","PeriodicalId":383209,"journal":{"name":"Dos Algarves: A Multidisciplinary e-Journal","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123313561","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}

We use Rogers’ Theory of Diffusion of Innovation to establish the different adopter categories according to the age of the web presence as dependent variable in our analysis. The following factors determine whether size and demographic and labor staff characteristics influence the time of adoption, by analyzing the behavior of these elements in the different categories of adopters. The results indicate that Internet diffusion process in rural tourism has behavior patterns established in the Rogers’ Model, confirming the existence of five groups of establishments carrying function of time in the network. The size factor and demographic features are not related to the time of adoption. Size and some demographic features explain the belonging to innovator adopters' category.","PeriodicalId":383209,"journal":{"name":"Dos Algarves: A Multidisciplinary e-Journal","volume":"414 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114829866","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}
