Planning as a system that can bring the suitable instruction to take the steps needed in developing tourism area. Through location clustering in one area based on the designation of facilities, ...amenities and accessibility. The Clustering concept is one of the concept that can be used in selecting and utilizing the location of tourism development in an area. Malino, as an area that has tourist attraction potential become attractiveness for the growth of the tourism business requires the right cluster design. This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive exposure system and data collection technique by using Interview, observation and literature study. The analysis technique used were emperical and theoretical descriptive analysis. Furthermore, used clustering analysis to determine the map of Malino Tourism area. The result of this study indicates that, the basis on the formation of Malino tourism area cluster consists of: geographic proximity, connecting road conditions and differentiation of tourist attractions, resulting in the attractiveness cluster of the Malino tourist area consisting of water clusters, natural clusters, artificial clusters and agro tourism clusters.
Tourism planners rely on accurate demand forecasting. However, despite numerous advancements, crucial methodological issues remain unaddressed. This study aims to further improve the modeling ...accuracy and advance the artificial intelligence (AI)-based tourism demand forecasting methods. Deep learning models that predict tourism demand are often highly complex and encounter overfitting, which is mainly caused by two underlying problems: (1) access to limited data volumes and (2) additional explanatory variable requirement. To address these issues, we use a decomposition method that achieves high accuracy in short- and long-term AI-based forecasting models. The proposed method effectively decomposes the data and increases accuracy without additional data requirement. In conclusion, this study alleviates the overfitting issue and provides a methodological contribution by proposing a highly accurate deep learning method for AI-based tourism demand modeling.
Climate change risk has gained considerable attention within the ski industry and its investors. Several past studies have overlooked the adaptive capacity of snowmaking and within-season demand ...variation and therefore overestimated climate change impacts. This study of the Austrian ski market (208 ski areas) including snowmaking found impacts are substantial and spatially highly differentiated, but nonetheless manageable (season length losses of 10–16%) for the majority of ski areas until the 2050s under a high emissions pathway (RCP 8.5) or even the 2080s in a low emission pathway (RCP 4.5). The economic impacts of reduced operations are largely concentrated in regions less dependent on tourism. Preserving this sector in high-risk areas can be considered maladaptive, but may be important to maintain demand. A sustainable end-of-century future for a high proportion of Austria's ski areas is dependent on achieving the low-emission future set out in the Paris Climate Agreement.
•The severity of projected climate change impacts depends on the ski industry performance indicators used.•The critical importance of snowmaking as a climate adaptation to reduce climate risk is demonstrated.•Projected climate change impacts are spatially highly diverse and highest in less-winter tourism dependent municipalities.•Destination competitiveness and reputation will be affected, with consequences for shareholders and public authorities.•Greater snowmaking is required to preserve ski season length and analysis of water access and storage should be a priority.
Coastal and marine space is “home” to a constantly growing number of human activities and facilities, the most important of which are those related to coastal and marine tourism. Being one of the ...largest segments of the maritime economic sectors, as well as the largest component of the tourism industry, coastal and marine tourism often raise controversy regarding the environmental impacts and the compatibilities with other human activities.
Marine Spatial Planning (MSP), is considered to be a promising procedure in tackling developmental and management issues related to the oceans and seas, and thus issues related to coastal and marine tourism. Indeed the present paper argues over the significant role of MSP in organizing and planning coastal and marine tourism activities and especially in ensuring: a) good environmental conditions for the tourism industry to prosper, b) quality of seascapes and coastal landscapes and other resources of importance to tourism, c) adaptation to climate change effects, d) spatial regulations so that coastal and marine space is not overwhelmed by tourism facilities and activities and e) wise allocation of human uses in the coastal zone so as to avoid conflicts and create synergies among sectors.
•Coastal and marine tourism is threatened by sea-uses and infrastructure downgrading seascapes and landscapes.•Coastal and marine tourism is threatened by activities downgrading the coastal and marine environmental status.•M.S.P. can mitigate conflicts and create synergies between coastal and marine tourism with other human uses.•MSP can ensure that important tourism resources are wisely managed and protected.•MSP can wise allocate all human activities so as they can both prosper and limit their environmental impacts.
This paper examines progress in tourism planning and policy knowledge and identifies gaps and future directions for research. The study employs a post-structuralist perspective presented in two ...analytical movements: a bibliographic study of tourism policy and planning publications in Scopus and Science Direct and thematic analysis, plus an archaeological excavation. This combined approach pays attention to the disruptions, silences and diversity of knowledge in tourism policy and planning. It highlights the way tourism planning and policy has been problematized and reveals the social regularities shaping the production of tourism planning and policy knowledge. Multi-disciplinary, mainstream subjects related to destination development and management dominate while critical analysis of economic and political structures, interests and values is lagging. The results point to an urgent need to progress tourism planning and policy towards greater visibility, legitimacy and importance in tourism studies through more critical engagement with tourism public policy and planning practice.
•Progress in tourism planning and policy is assessed using a post-structural approach.•A thematic bibliographic analysis and a critical policy archaeology was used.•We reveal the constitutive grid of forces that shape policy knowledge.•Progress is shaped by problematization and social regularities.•A paradox of policy problematization is uncovered.
The impact of technology on tourist cities and destinations has led to the emergence of renewed management approaches that seek to adapt the planning processes to new challenges and opportunities ...derived from the smart scenario. The smart city and smart tourist destination approaches are aimed at improving efficiency in management, the quality of life of the residents and the tourist experiences. However, little is known about how these ideas are being translated into real policies and whether they are having a real impact. The objective of this paper is to understand how the smart approach is being deployed in the planning processes of Spanish tourist cities and destinations, and its implications in terms of the governance, sustainability and data-driven public management. The planning instruments that guide the smart strategies of different Spanish cities are identified and analysed. This is complemented with a questionnaire administered among managers of the smart city and smart destination initiatives. The findings reveal the diversity of smart initiatives, their benefits and limitations. The results contribute to generating a necessary debate on the implications of the smart discourse for urban and tourism planning and enrich the international debate around this approach.

Understanding tourist mobility patterns of demographic subgroups is vital to tourism planning and management. However, existing empirical studies used various indicators and methods to depict tourist ...mobility but reached conflicting conclusions across different regions. Existing studies mostly analyzed mobility patterns from a single aspect of mobility indicator, time, and space, which leads to a limited understanding of tourist heterogeneity. Therefore, we proposed a multidimensional framework that combined three aspects and then conducted an empirical study to explore tourist mobility differences. Based on one-month mobile phone data from Chongqing, we identified the differences in mobility indicators, temporal patterns, and spatial patterns among demographic subgroups, which exist in gender, age, and location of origin. The analysis results indicate that older tourists have the highest enthusiasm for tourism, while middle-aged tourists have the lowest. Female tourists have an earlier start time and longer duration of traveling. The spatial structure of neighboring tourists is centered around the railway station, while non-neighboring is the airport. By revealing the different tourism preferences of subgroups, our findings can provide references for tourism planning and travel service provision in rapidly developing tourist cities.
•We present a multidimensional framework to understand tourist mobility patterns.•Tourist mobility patterns are compared across different demographic subgroups from indicator, time and space aspects.•We provide some new insights into mobility patterns in terms of gender, age, and location of origin.•We discuss how the obtained insights can help the stakeholders.
Indicators are a fundamental tool for destinations in their progress towards a more sustainable tourism development. However, the lack of real progress and the accelerated technological change are ...obliging policy makers to rethink the existing indicator systems. This paper examines the relationship between smart cities and destinations and sustainable tourism indicators by analyzing proposals at different scales. It provides a critical review of international smart city standards and the role that sustainability indicators play within them. Then, it conducts a content analysis of planning instruments applied in smart strategies in Spain, focusing on how sustainability indicators are considered under the smart paradigm. At the regional-local scale, this research compares two sets of indicators and tests the scientific validity of one of them for addressing the imbalance suffered by many indicators between their usefulness for policy makers and their academic rigor. The results show that little progress has been achieved despite the appropriation of the sustainability discourse by smart city and smart destination promoters. These findings reveal the (limited) real contribution made by smart cities/destinations to sustainable tourism development and contribute to identifying weaknesses and opportunities so as to redirect smart policies and projects. A final discussion contextualizes the findings within the novel framework of smart sustainability and highlights the need to reinforce public governance of urban and tourist spaces.
