This thesis argues that while analysing markets and developing strategies to exploit the external market place and to attract tourists remains a central focus for tourism marketers, it is not enough on its own to achieve sustainable tourism destination development. The researcher substantiates this argument by exploring the 'participatory tourism planning' concept in detail. Based on this approach, the community is identified as a primary customer for whom tourism marketers have ignored involving in their marketing attention, messages and programmes. The fundamental concept - marketing orientation and customer orientation - combined with emerging marketing theories were reviewed in order to help examine how destination marketing, a community-driven approach, should be implemented within a destination area. This examination of marketing and community based tourism planning set a platform for this research. This analysis examines relevance, applicability and potential for an integration of these two pervasive approaches for tourism planning. Guided by the theoretical examination, an integrated community-based tourism planning and marketing model was proposed. In order to explore gaps between the proposed model and its practicality, three destination areas (Phuket, Samui and Songkla-Hatyai) in Thailand were studied and evaluated. At this pragmatic level, this thesis identified impediments confronting national and local tourism organisations. The findings of this study draw a particular attention to institutional challenges which require clear identification of responsibilities and coordination of all actors involved in the planning and marketing process. These selected case studies have not only provided critical commentaries to assist tourism planners improve strategically their marketing approaches within community tourism planning, but they also have helped provide avenues for future research.

El objetivo de la Tesis Doctoral es estudiar la imagen de destino turístico y el proceso global de satisfacción del turista mediante la adopción de un enfoque integrador. En particular, se trata de analizar la influencia que tiene la imagen disponible del destino turístico en las distintas etapas del proceso global de satisfacción del turista, la naturaleza y los factores que participan en la formación de la imagen de destino turístico y los factores que contribuyen a la generación de las expectativas del turista de un futuro encuentro en el destino vacacional. Con objeto de cubrir estos objetivos, en la Tesis Doctoral se revisa la literatura sobre la imagen de destino turístico, la satisfacción del consumidor y, dentro de este último campo de investigación, las expectativas. A partir de esta revisión se defiende la naturaleza cognitiva-afectiva de la imagen, se propone un modelo teórico que integra la imagen de destino turístico en las distintas etapas del proceso global de satisfacción del turista y se formulan las hipótesis relativas a los factores que participan en la formación de la imagen y la generación de las expectativas del turista. Para contrastar el conjunto de hipótesis se realiza una investigación tanto cualitativa como cuantitativa. Tras el análisis de resultados se evidencia empíricamente la estructura cognitiva-afectiva de la imagen de destino o la importancia de la imagen y las emociones del turista en el proceso global de satisfacción, entre otros aspectos de interés.

La tesi es centra en una anàlisi prèvia de les implicacions de la teoria del cicle de vida aplicada a les destinacions turístiques pel geògraf canadenc Richard W. Butler (1982) i en un estudi del significat de l'aparició del postmodernisme i les seves repercussions en el turisme, a la vegada que es resegueix la història que ha fet possible l'aparició del turisme massificat de sol i platja.Tot això és la base teòrica imprescindible per poder estudiar empíricament les destinacions de Saltburn (Regne Unit), l'Estartit (Costa Brava) i Cayo Coco (Cuba), utilitzant el cicle de vida per escriure la seva història i veure les polítiques de desenvolupament i regeneració turística que s'han seguit i si aquestes es poden qualificar de postfordistes. La principal conclusió és que el concepte del cicle de vida es limita a ser una eina de diagnòstic a posteriori. El cicle de vida, com a instrument prescriptiu, no serveix. Es específic per a cada destinació, amb unes etapes i punts d'inflexió que només es poden establir en restrospectiva. El cicle de vida és una eina descriptiva molt útil per entendre l'evolució de les destinacions turístiques i els seus mercats, però vigilant de no caure en falses exploracions o perillosos determinismes. / This thesis is based on an analysis of the implications of the life-cycle theory on tourist destinations by the Canadian geographer Richard W. Butler (1982); and on a study of what the emergence of postmodernim and its repercussions on tourism have meant. At the same time, the history that has made the appearance of mass sun and beach tourism possible is reviewed.All this is the theoretical basis for the empirical study of the tourist destinations of Saltburn (United Kingdom), l'Estartit (Costa Brava) and Cayo Coco (Cuba). Life cycle is used as the instrument for writing their history and seeing what development and tourist regeneration policies they have followed and whether they can be defined as post-Fordist policies.In conclusion, current tourist models, more inauthentic, diverse and customised, place a question-mark over the Fordist tourist practices of previous decades, although there are still more elements of continuity than of change. The idea now is to make the Fordist tourist model feasible, by using postmodernism as an instrument to give a theoretical and ideological gloss to the model that can be still called Fordist, but that has been adapted to new times and settings.

The theoretical part of the thesis was divided into five chapters in which the theory of turism and marketing were explored and described. The tourist trade was defined with the help of the specific literature, also destinations, particular types of turism and, of yourse, cultural tourism. The practical part of the thesis deals with the area of Jindřichův Hradec. The synthesis of information gained from the situational analysis and questionnaire research served as a base for creating the SWOT analysis of tourism in the JH area. There is nothing like a ?service package? for cooperation and communication of cultural and tourism facilities in the area. Therefore the author suggested such a product package which should be used as a means for tourists to visit all technical museums in the area and which should be also helpful for the people to stay longer in the destination.

Gramado-RS tem a imagem de “destino turístico modelo” para o Ministério do Turismo e outras instituições da área, outros destinos brasileiros e internacionais, e turistas. Partindo dessa assertiva e considerando a imagem de marca como um conceito relacionado com o receptor, enquanto a identidade de marca como um conceito associado ao emissor, esta pesquisa tem como questão-problema: Como é construída a identidade de marca de Gramado, para gerar a imagem de “destino turístico modelo”? No referencial teórico, encontram-se estudos sobre identidade de marca geral e de destinações turísticas. Dentre os modelos teóricos abordados nesses estudos, foi selecionado o modelo de Hankinson (2004), intitulado “A rede relacional da marca”, para se chegar ao objetivo desta pesquisa: caracterizar a identidade de marca de Gramado construída para gerar a imagem de “destino turístico modelo”. Os procedimentos organizativos e analíticos dos dados discursivos pautaram-se por supostos e técnicas da análise de conteúdo. Integraram o universo da pesquisa sujeitos do Poder Público, da iniciativa privada, dos trabalhadores e da comunidade local de Gramado, totalizando 21 entrevistados. Além de entrevistas, como um estudo de caso, também foram consultados livros sobre a história do turismo em Gramado; dissertações do Mestrado em Turismo e Hospitalidade da UCS, em que essa destinação é o cenário de estudo; e reportagens afetas à pesquisa. Dentre os resultados está que os atributos, com maior ocorrência nas respostas dos entrevistados, foram os simbólicos e os funcionais, destacando-se atrativos/eventos turísticos, como aquilo que diferencia Gramado de seus concorrentes. O relacionamento entre a marca e os turistas baseia-se mais em essa destinação ser considerada propícia ao lazer, atrativa, inovadora e de credibilidade. Também foi constatada a falta de um planejamento estratégico com a participação ativa dos stakeholders internos. Quanto aos relacionamentos com outros stakeholders, foi verificado que, praticamente, não se utiliza publicidade paga. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2015-10-20T12:11:13Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Vanessa Acosta de Azambuja.pdf: 2241216 bytes, checksum: c036b024ea417a28efb27f27ff52210c (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2015-10-20T12:11:13Z (GMT).
