The analysis of seasonality and domestic tourism from the perspective of the accommodation sector has, to date, been unsatisfactorily studied in the domain of visitors to national parks. In light of the scale of accommodation development and its crucial role in tourism, most notably with regard to environmental impact, in-depth knowledge about acco...
This study identifies those market segments that frequent state parks in Florida and, in particular, determines those segmentation “clusters” with a best fit for frequency of visitation, accommodation, and age. Two-Step Cluster Analysis and CHAID approaches to the determination of market segmentation are used. This study demonstrates the precision...

los visitantes y, por otro lado, como organismo, ha de compaginar esa realidad con su principal función que es la...

This paper analyzes the relationship from the perspective of visitors to the Teide National Park (TNP) in Tenerife, aiming to establish strategies to reduce visitors' environmental impacts. This is pa...
Studies of the segmentation of the tourism markets have traditionally been undertaken by regression methods. The need to have a significant number of segments and qualifying variables has led, however, to the use of other procedures of multivariate analysis. CHAID (Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detection), which is more complex than other multiv...

In recent decades the route followed by the conceptualisation of the tourism product has led the literature to focus on the crucial role played by the tourist as a consumer/user. In particular, consensus appears to exist as to the definition of the tourism product as the interpretation which tourists make of experiences they experience outside thei...

Tourism develpment: economics, management and strategy, Primera edited by Alejandro D. Ramos, Pablo S. Jiménez, 12/2008: chapter Innovation among tourism entrepreneurs and the implication for rural development: the case of rural tourism in La Palma.
La isla de La Palma (Islas Canarias) ha sido uno de los destinos pioneros en la implantación del turismo rural en España. El carácter insular genera una diferencia en la demanda respecto al turista continental en función de la procedencia de larga distancia desde variados destinos internacionales a la isla. Esta particularidad ha querido ser estudi...
La isla de La Palma ha iniciado el giro hacia un incipiente desarrollo turístico en
el transcurso de los dos últimos decenios. De su tradicional modelo
agroambiental, de forma pausada pero inexorable, se ha ido deslizando hacia
el más especializado mundo de los servicios, tratando de incorporar el turismo
como un activo de su desarrollo.
En esta si...

La existencia de destinos turísticos maduros, como Canarias, con una creciente globalización
de la oferta turística y con la emergencia de un número considerable de destinos de sol y playa ubicados
en países menos desarrollados altamente competitivos en precios, hace que la mejora de la calidad en la
prestación de los servicios turísticos se haya c...
The Canary Islands have traditionally been a destination for mass tourism, a fact that is not, however, necessarily incompatible with a growing trend towards segmentation in tourist markets. In fact, the experience of other traditional destinations, like the Balearic Islands, shows that the two trends can take place at the same time. This article p...
In the context of the European Union countries, the Canary Islands have presented and continue to do so, unquestionable comparative and competitive advantages as supplier of tourism products that have lead to, driven more by managerial initiative and foreign capital than by the desire and initiative of the local population, a truly monocultural tou...

Reports a study of a Canary Island “internal labour
market” (a transnational cigarette manufacturer) analysing its
promotion ladders and ports of entry. Results reflect the importance an
employee attaches to years of service in a firm and describes the
general characteristics of the internal components of the internal
labour market.
La idea del mercado de trabajo como un conjunto de estructuras de promoción jerárquicas que, basadas en la antigüedad, operan en el seno de las empresas, responde a la visión de los autores institucionalistas de un mercado de trabajo segmentado. Estas estructuras de promoción que dichos autores denominan Mercados Internos de Trabajo (MITs), van a c...
