The study will discuss how to manage offerings/activities in a tourism destination to engage guests in all dimensions included in the four experience realms of Pine and Gilmore (1999). The paper will mainly focus on preferences of Cameroon leisure tourists towards improving their experiences while at the Ndawara estate by incorporating the four experience realms in offerings to provide a memorable experience while at same time, suggesting two innovative tourism offerings (cultural activities and opening a mini museum) that will go a long way to improve the tourism experience of the destination. A case study of an agro-tourism destination will be introduced in this paper to illustrate how the four experience realms are applied to engage tourists/guests in four dimension. Experiences is a fo...

Forløbet var en del af ’Creative Learning Camp’, som var en integreret del af 8. semester på kandidatuddannelsen. I forløbet blev de studerende stillet over for en opgave sat af en amerikansk NGO om bæredygtig turisme i Viñales, Cu-ba, som de skulle løse, og som de skulle levere til organisationen efter deres feltarbejde. Vi diskuterer i denne artikel, hvordan det at tage de studerende ud af undervisningslokalet til en for dem ukendt kontekst kan gøre deres læring anderledes og relevant for et senere arbejdsliv, da de skulle løse en opgave ’fra det virkelige liv’ kombineret med det at skulle begå sig i en helt ny kontekst. Vi er inspireret af Kolbs læringscirkel (2014), og vi diskuterer både peer learning og læring i grupper inden for denne teoretiske ramme. Vores antagelse er, at læringsprocesserne styrkes inden for PBL, hvis man inddrager en erfaringsbaseret og eksperimenterende læring i e...

It challenges one of the taken for granted assumptions about the collaborative economy that it creates a more equal society with a fairer, more inclusive economic model (Botsman and Rogers, 2010). The chapter argues that the collaborative economy is underpinned by fundamentally different rationales and structures in Latin America compared to Western-oriented societies. The chapter's Latin American perspective suggests limitations in existing conceptualizations of the collaborative economy. In Latin American societies, digital collaborative economy is adopted into a sociocultural, political and economic context and has become an extension of well-established and social embedded historical practices of collaborative production and consumption. It has often replicated old patterns of privileged access for some and denial for others. Even though the digital collaborative economy has increased significantly, and Latin America is characterized by a solid information technology, it becomes clear that the informal sector keeps playing a pivotal role in the understanding of practices related to collaborative economy.

We find inspiration in Kolb’s learning Circle (1984; 2014) and draw on literature, which develops arguments based on experiential learning (Dewey 1938). When students are learning outside the classroom the notion of ‘context’ is crucial, in this case, we brought learning processes to a small town in Cuba. We draw from a case with a group of students going to the field and unfold how their learning process is inspired by the field, setting the field, and how learning is a process where students gradually break free from classroom thinking. Furthermore, students start to develop their own research process, inspired by the context in which they are situated. We use Kolb’s Learning Circle to discuss peer learning and shared learning and co-creation of knowledge by arguing that learning is not only an individual process. We argue that deep, and shared, learning ...

Este concepto busca analizar el uso de la noche como un espacio público que generar una oferta turís-tica y revaloriza un lugar o actividad. Para realizar este análisis utilizaremos el concepto de economía de la experiencia ínti-ma nocturna, lo que nos permitirá entender y dar propuestas de planeación para la generación de valor mediante la insti-tucionalización y conceptualización que tienen el uso noctur-no de los lugares, las prácticas, los símbolos y las relaciones. El trabajo concluye con una serie de recomendaciones para la urbanización, planeación y seguridad en los espectáculos nocturnos. Palabras clave: Turismo, noche, economía de la experien-cia intima, lugares. RESUMEN

Narrativas varias constituye un esfuerzo colectivo resultado de la investigación conjunta realizada por un amplio grupo de académicos provenientes de diversas Instituciones de Educación Superior que integran la red de investigación “Ciudad, Turismo e Imaginarios”. El punto de mira común en este esfuerzo y en los tejidos conceptuales que hilvanan el capitulado de la obra, se centran en los denominados “Pueblos Mágicos”, entornos socioespaciales en los que opera el programa llamado de esta forma, derivado de la política federal de turismo.
