Comprehensive Study

Purpose: This study aims to assess the economic impact for the economy of the Principality of Asturias, of the World Climbing Championship held in Gijon in 2014.Design/methodology/approach: Various instruments are available to assess the economic impact of a sporting event in a city or region. Among them is the Input-Output (I-O) analysis, which is used in this study.Findings: We analyse the economic impacts of the expenditure by non-residents in the Principality of Asturias in a comprehensive study that categorises the individuals attending the Championship according to their accommodation choice and to different visitor categories (i.e. athletes, technicians, managers, etc.). The study also takes into account the expenditure on infrastructure and organization incurred by the organizer of the competition: the City Council of Gijon. The economic impact on the economy of Asturias of the 2014 World Climbing Championship held in Gijón is calculated in terms of the Gross Value Added (GVA).Originality/value: When a public institution organizes an activity, an assessment of whether the expenditure has an economic return or leads to an unjustifiable expenditure of public money, is required.

Impacto Económico

Los mega-eventos deportivos crean una nueva imagen del país anfitrión, atrae a espectadores y a los medios de comunicación (Santo, 2005; Cornelissen y Swart, 2006). El impacto económico de un evento puede definirse como el cambio económico neto en el país anfitrión que deriva del gasto atribuido al evento (Crompton, 1995). Ya que uno de los beneficios más importantes son los beneficios permanentes en la ciudad (Witt, 1988) como la mejora de las instalaciones o la imagen del país. En relación al turismo de un gran evento hay un moderado incremento del turismo interno de negocios en una ciudad durante el desarrollo del evento (OECD, 2012). Por lo tanto, la ciudad aumenta su potencial de inversión y actividad comercial (Avison Young, 2003) El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar el impacto económico generado por los asistentes en la ciudad de Granada durante la Universiada Granada 2015. Mega-sport events create a new image of the host country, attracting viewers and the media (Santo, 2005; Cornelissen and Swart, 2006). The economic impact of an event can be defined as the net economic change in the host country that derives from the expenditure attributed to the event (Crompton, 1995). Since one of the most important benefits are the permanent benefits in the city (Witt, 1988) as the improvement of the facilities or the image of the country. In relation to the tourism of a big event there is a moderate increase of the internal business tourism in a city during the development of the event (OECD, 2012). Thus, the city increases its investment potential and commercial activity (Avison Young, 2003). The objective of the present study was to analyze the economic impact generated by the attendees in the city of Granada during the Universiade Granada 2015.

PurposeIn Quebec, where a large majority of public libraries are municipal departments, the mission of the libraries must be defined in collaboration with city councillors and acknowledged by them. The purpose of this paper is to understand the views of city councillors in Quebec on the mission of public libraries, and to compare them to actual library practices.Design/methodology/approachThe research strategy adopted is a multiple case study. Interviews were conducted with 12 city councillors who represent their library on the city council. These interviews and the municipal cultural policies were subjected to a discourse analysis. The interviews with the directors of the public libraries and some documents were subjected to content analysis.FindingsA conceptual framework based on the theory of social construction of reality is proposed to study the discourses of city councillors in their textual dimension, to contextualise them and to analyse them in comparison with library practices.Originality/valueThere is no homogeneous view among city councillors in Quebec on the mission of public libraries. However, a model of the discourse of city councillors does emerge. It is less developed than current literature. It presents a passive image of the library in which the tradition continues, ignoring the Information Society. The analysis also revealed that the views of city councillors are based on their own convictions as individuals, on their role in the management of the municipality as elected officials, and on the image they have of the users of public libraries.

  El turismo a nivel mundial históricamente ha logrado un crecimiento importante, siendo considerado como una de las principales fuentes de ingresos de los países. Ecuador a raíz de la declaratoria mundial del COVID-19 experimentó una disminución en los ingresos del sector turístico, siendo Manta una de las ciudades con mayor impacto especialmente en el sector hotelero. Mediante la presente investigación, se busca conocer la incidencia económica generada por el COVID-19 sobre el sector hotelero de Manta, y determinar las alternativas de reactivación para este sector, considerando la capacidad de las empresas hoteleras para enfrentar dicha crisis. A través de un estudio descriptivo de enfoque cualitativo y cuantitativo, se realizaron encuestas a los turistas de la ciudad de Manta, cuyos resultados permitieron conocer que sin lugar a dudas el COVID-19 ha desencadenado la desaceleración económica en el sector hotelero local, por la disminución de la demanda de estos servicios.   Palabras clave: Covid-19; impacto económico; turismo; sector hotelero, pymes.   ABSTRACT Tourism worldwide has historically achieved significant growth, being considered one of the main sources of income for countries. Ecuador, as a result of the world declaration of COVID-19, experienced a decrease in income from the tourism sector, with Manta being one of the cities with the greatest impact, especially in the hotel sector. Through this research, we seek to know the economic impact generated by COVID-19 on the hotel sector of Manta, and determine the reactivation alternatives for this sector, considering the capacity of hotel companies to face this crisis. Through a descriptive study with a qualitative and quantitative approach, surveys were conducted with tourists in the city of Manta, the results of which revealed that without a doubt COVID-19 has triggered the economic slowdown in the local hotel sector, due to the decreased demand for these services.   Keywords: Covid-19; economic impact; tourism; hotel sector, smes.

 El desarrollo del turismo en las ciudades plantea dos aspectos de importancia. En primer lugar, es su objetivo que el turismo impacte en el desarrollo local y, en segundo lugar, que la oferta turística se diversifique y se complemente. En esta coyuntura, la ciudad de Quito apostó por el apoyo a un evento deportivo, de gran envergadura, para el mes de noviembre del 2019. De esta propuesta surgió la necesidad de medir el impacto del evento deportivo en la ciudad y al mismo tiempo identificar la demanda real de turistas nacionales e internacionales. Para ello se aplicó un cuestionario con 23 ítems que fueron agrupados en 2 grupos de factores: la determinación del perfil del consumidor y el consumo turístico realizado. Posteriormente se obtuvieron datos de Quito Turismo sobre el media value del evento, con el cual se estructuró una base de datos para una interpretación integral. Los resultados obtenidos fortalecen la estrategia para que Quito albergue varios eventos de importancia, en diversos aspectos, a más de lo deportivo. La derrama económica en los negocios locales fue significativa y se registró un impacto importante en el posicionamiento de la ciudad como destino turístico.  Abstract. The development of urban tourism raises two important aspects. In the first place, tourism must have an impact on local development and, secondly, that the tourism offer should be diversified and complemented. At this juncture, the city of Quito opted to support a large-scale sporting event for the month of November 2019. From this proposal arose the need to measure the impact of the sporting event in the city and at the same time identify the real demand of national and international tourists. For this, surveys were conducted with 23 items that were grouped into 2 groups of factors: the determination of the consumer profile and the tourist economic consumption. Afterwards, data was obtained from Quito Tourism on the average media value of the event, with which a database was structured for a comprehensive interpretation. The results obtained strengthen the strategy for Quito to host several important events, in various aspects, in addition to sports. The economic impact on local businesses was significant and there was an important impact on the positioning of the city as a tourist destination.

Place branding is a network of associations in the consumer’s mind, based on the visual, verbal, and behavioral expression of a place. Food can be an important tool to summarize it as it is part of the culture of a city and its symbolic capital. Food is imaginary, a ritual and a social construction. This paper aims to explore a ritual that has turned into one of the brands of Lisbon in the past few years. The fresh sardines barbecued out of doors, during Saint Anthony’s festival, has become a symbol that can be found on t-shirts, magnets and all kinds of souvenirs. Over the year, tourists can buy sardine shaped objects in very cheap stores to luxurious shops. There is even a whole boutique dedicated to the fish: “The Fantastic World of Portuguese Sardines” and an annual competition promoted by the city council to choose the five most emblematic designs of sardines. In order to analyze the Sardine phenomenon from a city branding point of view, the objective of this paper is to comprehend what associations are made by foreigners when they are outside of Lisbon. As a methodological procedure five design sardines, were used of last year to questioning to which city they relate them in interviews carried in Madrid, Lyon, Rome and London. Upon completion of the analysis, the results of the city branding strategy adopted by the city council to promote the sardines as the official symbol of Lisbon is seen as a Folkmarketing action. The effects are positive, but still quite local. On the other hand, significant participation of the Lisbon´s dwellers in the Sardine Contest was observed, which seems to be a good way to promote the city identity and pride in their best ambassador: the citizens.

How did Edinburgh become ‘festival city’? Despite appearances, it was not always so, and it acquired the accolade by happenstance; in the view of one observer, a ‘strange amalgam of cultural banditry, civic enterprise and idealism’. The official Festival's survival was down to the City Council, and it was funded almost entirely by public bodies. This was the central structure around which The Fringe developed, and The Traverse prospered, along with smaller festivals and events to become Festival City. The story sheds considerable light on how Edinburgh ‘works’, its strengths and weaknesses combined.
