Com números bastante expressivos, o carnaval vem se consolidando cada vez mais como um importante setor para a economia brasileira e, um de seus principais destinos, o Rio de Janeiro, não foge a esta realidade. O presente trabalho visou verificar a motivação dos turistas, que frequentam blocos de rua da cidade, em escolher o seu meio de hospedagem e quais são as tipologias mais utilizadas por eles. Para tanto, foi necessário analisar se a hospitalidade, tanto pública como comercial, é um diferencial do Rio de Janeiro para com os turistas. Para isso, foram aplicados 101 formulários, durante três dias do carnaval de rua da cidade, no ano de 2014. Os resultados obtidos deixam de forma explícita que o turista que frequenta o carnaval de rua do Rio de Janeiro é um híbrido do turista de experiência e do pós-turista, é exigente e possui uma clara preferência em se hospedar em hotéis - a tipologia mais tradicional da hotelaria, mesmo com outros meios de hospedagem até mais baratos, os quais a cidade oferta. / The carnival is considered, besides the most celebration in the whole country, a great showcase and a great moment to the Brazilian's tourism. With very expressive numbers, carnival has been increasing as great factor to Brazilian's economy and one of its main destinations, Rio de Janeiro, is no exception to this reality. This present work attempted to check the motivation of these tourists, who attend the block of the city's street, in choosing the hosting and which are the most used typologies by them. For such, it was necessary to analyze if the hospitality, both public and commercial, is a differencial in Rio de Janeiro to other tourists. Thereunto, 101 forms were applied for three days of the city's carnival's street in the year of 2014. The results collected show it explicitly that the tourist that attends the carnival's street in Rio de Janeiro is a hybrid of the tourist of experience and the demanding tourist, has an evident preference in staying in hotels-the most traditional typology of hospitality, even with other cheapest means, which are offered by the city.

The objective of this thesis is to proof possibilities to use data from the electronic revenue records to measure the visit rate and process recommendations for the use in tourism. The thesis focuses on the tourism sector. Concepts and related terminology are explained. Described in this thesis are sources of the information about visitors, profiles of visitors, decision-making process about visits, and selected technologies used to measure the visit rate. Reasons, problems and classification related to measurements of the visit rate are included in the thesis as well. The practical part examines the use of information from electronic revenue records for the purpose of measuring the number of visitors based on the calculation of Pearson's correlation coefficients. The principal how EET functions is explained in the thesis. Significant part of the work is the analysis of daily and monthly revenues of electronic records in the sector of lodging in regions of the Czech Republic. Based on this analysis, 6 groups are determined in which the development of daily seasonality takes place in a specific way. An important part is also the calculation of average cost of accommodation in regions, which identifies certain economic impacts of tourism. Part of the thesis are summarized recommendations for the use of data from EET.

Mineral springs were a popular aspect of American culture prior to World War II. In conjunction with the rest of the United States, Texas offered visitors numerous locations for people to “take the waters.” Unfortunately, for various reasons, the springs fell out of favor and the buildings associated with them were largely abandoned. I briefly discuss the history of the springs through the ages and then move onto a discussion of the different styles of architecture associated with the springs in the United States and how these styles differed in Texas. Due to the loss of architecture associated with the mineral springs in Texas, this paper uses Heath, Oc, and Tiesdell’s five forms of obsolescence to analyze the reasons for failures in adaptive reuse, discusses the successes, and presents some extant buildings where futures are undetermined. In order to answer these questions, I gathered a collection of case studies, focusing on locations in Texas, but including several from the United States and Europe. I analyzed these case studies and gathered information from the result of the studies to deduce why the forms of obsolescence could not be overcome, and how some sites differed and successfully surmounted these difficulties. / text
