Author(s): Velina Ivancheva Kazandjieva,Hristina Plamenova Filipova / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

Tourism industry is undеrgоing а tеchnоlоgy-drivеn trаnsfоrmаtiоn. The efficiency and purposefulness of implementing each new technology depends on the perception and the decision of end users - tourists to accept and use it.The purpose of the article is to assess customer’s perception of tech-related innovations in tourism. A questionnaire was designed to survey the perceptions and attitudes of Bulgarians about the use of innovative technologies in travel and tourism. The results show that Bulgarian respondents are not yet very familiar with the use of tech-related innovations in travel and tourism, but are gradually starting to accept them. However for some specific operations they prefer to communicate with a human employee. Exploring customer’s attitude and perception of technological innovations is crucial for their acceptance and implementation in tourism. The fact that usershave limited experience in these innovations shows that, at this stage, a combined service of technologies and humans is the ideal solution for satisfying the customer’s needs and providing a better travel experience.

Author(s): Andrzej Matczak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2019

The article is an attempt to verify the hypothesis that the tourist function in Polish health resorts is becoming increasingly diversified. It presents data concerning the capacity and type of accommodation in three Kujawy health resorts, as well as their amenities. The data was provided by the Local Data Bank at the Central Statistical Office (GUS), and refers to the period between 1995 and 2018. The study findings point to the increasingly diversification of the tourist function in Kujawy health resorts. The greatest changes have been identified at Ciechocinek which can currently be defined as a tourism and health resort. Less advanced changes have been found in Inowrocław, while Wieniec-Zdrój still remains a typical spa with a marginal share of other functions. Based on official statistics, the author has identified general trends taking place in health resort infrastructure. Only a limited quantitative analysis of the relationship between the health and tourist functions of Kujawy health resorts has been made, mostly due to the incompleteness of the statistical data.

IMPACTS OF HIGH SPEED RAILWAY ON TOURISM & TRAVEL INDUSTRIES IN EUROPE: POSSIBLE OUTCOMES FOR RAIL BALTICA

Author(s): Olga Piterina / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2019

In the course of the development of European high speed railways (HSR) the assessment of their impact on the development of tourism and related industries has changed from the overoptimistic to a controversial one and even to the one raising concern.In connection with the construction of a new high-speed railway Rail Baltica, which should connect Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania with the rest of Europe, the issue of planning the passenger traffic along the new corridor route should include the testing of provisional theories regarding the impact of new railway on the development of Tourism&Travel Industries.Since the methodology of cost benefit analysis does not entail the above mentioned assessment, it is necessary to study the experience of other countries in this field in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes in the provisional assessment of HSR’s impact on Tourism&Travel Industries.The aim of the article: to organize and structure the available research dedicated to the quantitative assessment of the impact of European HSRs on tourism; to identify effective and negative types of the aforementioned impact; to make known this information to the interested parties of the Rail Baltica project, as well as to the officials, responsible for determining the policy in the field of tourism and transportation in the Baltic countries. In the given research the author makes use of the methods of systematic approach, cluster analysis, comparative analysis of scientific literature and empirical studies, based on PRISMA Statement, as well as statistical methods.Results: in the course of the analysis the author has found out that there might be the following impact of Rail Baltica on the development of tourism in the project’s region: 1) redistribution of tourism markets among the member countries of the cross-border project; 2) the increase in the spatial competition in the Tourism&Travel Industries of the region; 3) the volume of induced passengers trips can exceed the forecast of investment assessments by at least three times.Conclusions: the necessary methodological basis for the organisation of passenger traffic along the Rail Baltica route can be created only by studying the existing realities of the exploitation of HSRs in different regions. Due to the lack of research in this field, the given paper can comprise a source of information for the interested governmental institutions of the RB project’s member countries, which might be useful for further detailed research. For example, it can concern the determination of cross-effects between the seasonality of tourism in the region and the organization of passenger traffic along the new railway corridor.

The study covered 10 out of 72 small towns in Lower Silesia. The study was based on data from 2014 to 2017. The authors use a two-dimensional indicator of the tourist function, they construct a synthetic indicator of tourist attractiveness, and then they compare obtained results for the analyzed small towns. The study demonstrates that tourist attractiveness of a small town depends on tourist values which were studied, but not just. According to the authors, the level of tourist flows is influenced additionally by: the attractiveness of the environment, tourists’ habits, information and marketing activities of specific towns and enterprises offering tourist-recreation accommodation and other tourist attractions, the state of the transport infrastructure and the quality of public transport links.
