This research investigates the perceived risks and perceptions of visitor experiences associated with visitation to an ecological tourist destination. The research identified a significant consumption barrier which appeared to impact significantly and reflect juxtapositions with regard to tourists’ perceived (reflective) and lived (responsive) experiences with the tourist attraction. The confli...

Ž . In this paper, we present our design of a GIS Geographic Information System to provide tourist information to visitors via the WWW. The system can help a tourist, even when he is not in Hong Kong, to find information about routes, buildings, underground railways and train stations. Further, the GIS also allows a tourist to interact with the displayed map by zooming, scrolling, panning, find...

We have developed a tourist map system based on the way people create associations between colors and affective words related to tourist attractions. This study examines such associations. In the first experiment, a participant was required to choose one color from among the seven rainbow colors and one gray-scale level from among seven gray-scale levels to associate with an affective word rela...

The aim of this paper is to propose a mathematical model to determine invariant sets, set covering, orbits and, in particular, attractors in the set of tourism variables. Analysis was carried out based on a pre-designed algorithm and applying our interpretation of chaos theory developed in the context of General Systems Theory. This article sets out the causal relationships associated with tour...

Tourism is one of the largest growing industry worldwide. A tourist will naturally keep on travelling to different countries and sub-continents. Several researchers have addressed and proposed Mobile applications to facilitate Tourist and Tourismin different areas. A Mobile application to assist nightblind tourist is still one of the unaddressed issues by the researchers. This paper proposes a ...

In this paper, we propose a new image-based algorithm to identify where a tourist is when visiting unfamiliar places. When the tourist takes a photo of an unfamiliar place, our algorithm can recognize where the tourist is by retrieving similar images from an image database, where location information is associated with each image. Our method is not only fusing global and local information but u...

study was to identify factors, components and barriers to tourism development in the city as a tourist with the approach and methods of survey. the population of the study, all domestic and foreign tourists three months of the year 88 125 512 and 105 112 people respectively are included. according to cochran formula, 118 and 119 of the iranian tourists and foreign tourists as the sample size an...

INTRODUCTION With the number of tourists coming to Taiwan growing by 10-20 % since 2010, the number has increased due to an increasing number of foreign tourists, particularly after deregulation allowed admitting tourist groups, followed later on by foreign individual tourists, from mainland China. The purpose of this study is to propose a revised gap model to evaluate and improve service quali...
