Professional and academic congresses play a relevant role on what came to be known as meetings tourism or business tourism. This market has grown significantly in the last years, and is expected to maintain, or even increase, such growth rate in the short range. Moreover, congress tourists consume complementary activities, as well as accommodations...

Purpose Over the last two decades, the concept of destination imagery (DY) has gained relevance in the academic literature due to its central role in the tourists’ destination choice process. However, there is still much to be explored within this topic, especially concerning DY processing. More specifically, the way external stimuli are processed...

Events containing a high transverse momentum (pT) prompt photon offer a useful way to study the dynamics of the hot, dense medium produced in heavy ion collisions. Because photons do not carry color charge, they are unaffected by the medium, and thus provide information about the momentum, direction, and flavor (quark or gluon) of the asso- ciated...
