Future Visions of the Tourism Products
- 2007
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper discuss new expressions like Experience Economy and Dream Society, both both expressions imply that the society are now facing other demands from customers concerning tourism products. In many ways we are talking about progression ofeconomic values from teh tourist's point of view as well as from the view of the producers. In the future the producers have to focus more on making and deliver an experience for individuals then today and in older days.In the future producers have to deliver much more complex product offers then before, the complexity of the tourism product will increase and tohandle that requires a lot of knowledge as well as well trainedemployees. We will try to find out what the next step will be, from Experience Economy or Dream Society offering complexproducts - to, maybe, transformation which is an offering to the individual that he or she can be guided, the customer will be the product.To summing up the future will focus much more on individual, tailor made products and edutainment.

Quality and Safety - Two Sides of the Same Coin in Hospitality and Tourism
- 2009
-
Ingår i: Journal of Tourism and Hospitality Management. - 1330-7533. ; 15:2, s. 193-204
-
Recension (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper will discuss some methodical aspects in doing research in the field of hospitality and tourism. Quality aspects have been dominant subjects for a long time in the industry, safety and security aspects were more or less not on the agenda in the early 90-ies. According to how society has developed, the experience of risk and danger has changed in the society over time and nowadays both safety and security as well as quality aspects has become important elements in the tourism products. The question is, if those two different approaches can be used as mutual methods.

The impact of carbon discharge legislation on future development of maritime tourism and cruising
- 2011

Ingår i: Tourismos. - 1790-8418 .- 1792-6521. ; 6:2, s. 53-64

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In 2008 the U.N. International Maritime Organisation set up new rules for sulphurous content in maritime fuel. That decision will also have consequences for shipping and trade in, inter alias, the Baltic Sea. From the 1st of July 2010, ships sailing in the Baltic Sea are allowed to have only 1, 5 % sulphurous content in the fuel of the ships and only 0, 1 % in 2015-01-01. Is this a threat to the tourism industry? Will there be fewer cruising ships in the Baltic Sea? Will the ferry traffic between the harbours in the Baltic Sea decrease due to higher fuel price, because of less sulphurous content in the fuel?

Tourism education in Sweden : Past, Present and Future
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Journal of Applied Economics and Business Research. - Burnaby. - 1927-033X. ; 2:3, s. 147-154

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Thisarsociety looked at this article will describe how tourism education started in Sweden for about 33 years ago, at university level. The article gives some hints about how three dedicated young teachers take some initiatives at different collegesmore or less at the same time. It is description of how the established university system changed a lot and became a much more modern and streamlined one. The article ends up with some desires like what Swedish tourism programs in the near future need, is increased funding for research and more international contacts and collaborationwith other teachers and students!

Turism : Om att sälja drömmar
- 2013. - 1
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- Turism handlar om att få en upplevelse av annorlunda karaktär. Turist är man på sin fritid, efter det att man utfört alla de uppgifter man har i form av arbete - avlönat eller av ideell karaktär. En del av denna fritid kan användas för att göra en semesterresa. Man kanske reser till någon annan plats i det egna landet, eller till någon plats i ett annat land.----De teman som diskuteras är fritid och rekreation, upplevelseturism, resandets determinanter samt köpprocessen, kvalitetsutveckling och hållbarhetsaspekter med utgångspunkt i turismindustrin.Framtiden är svår att sia om, men boken gör avslutningsvis ett försök att belysa en trolig utveckling inom turismindustrin. Studier påområdet pekar generellt sett påen ljus framtid, både för nationella och internationella aktörer. Men hållbarhetsaspekter kommer att kräva ökad hänsyn.

Desire to work from home : Results of an Irish study
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Journal of Transport Geography. - : Elsevier. - 0966-6923 .- 1873-1236. ; 104
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Large levels of working from home (WfH) were induced by social distancing and viral control measures undertaken to mitigate the Covid-19 pandemic. Representing an unpredicted change in the way large amounts of people undertake their day to day work, it is expected that the legacy of this event, in terms of significant alterations to work and commuting patterns will have wide-ranging and long-lasting results. However, how persistent the current trends will be, remains an open question. Therefore, there is a need for a well-represented study of employees' preferences for the post-pandemic future and focus on white-collar workers and their well-established attitudes considering their flexibility in terms of workplace arrangements. This paper presents the results of a survey undertaken in Ireland in the summer of 2021 gauging the desire of office workers to WfH, the format that most appeals to them, the consideration of home relocation based on the ability to WfH, and the factors that may explain such preferences. Results indicate high levels of desire to WfH, either full time or partially, with increased desire to WfH positively correlated to pre-pandemic commute length, and to a perceived increase in work productivity and quality of non-work life as a result of time spent WfH. Additionally, a number of workers state that they may consider home relocation based upon the ability to WfH. These results should be interpreted as the desire to WfH or total addressable market that exists, rather than the likely levels of WfH that will be observed post-Covid.

Examining the long-term reduction in commuting emissions from working from home
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Transportation Research Part D. - : Elsevier. - 1361-9209 .- 1879-2340. ; 127
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- To develop effective climate strategies, it is necessary to model the long-term impacts of combined policy measures. This study examines how an increase in working-from-home (WFH) practices, coupled with higher private car fleet penetration of electric vehicles (EVs), could change commuting patterns and associated emissions. Simulations for the Dublin Region show that if half of white-collar workers were WFH and EVs made up one-third of the fleet as forecasted for 2030, emissions from travel activities could be reduced by up to 35% for carbon dioxide (CO2) and 25% for particulate matter (PM). However, transitioning from a moderate to a high WFH scenario may not deliver significant benefits in terms of travel length, modal shift, and emissions reduction. In addition, a decrease in commuter trips can lead to an increase in other trips. This suggests that there is a need for additional measures to discourage car usage when commuter trips decline.

Social sustainability of regional transportation : An assessment framework with application to EU road transport
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Socio-Economic Planning Sciences. - : Elsevier. - 0038-0121 .- 1873-6041. ; 78
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The assessment of transportation social sustainability appeals to many scholars as an essential issue but imposes a risk of selecting inadequate factors and methods to measure social phenomena. In this study, based on an extensive review, we identify the measurable key social indicators (instead of the economic or environmental factors commonly used) and propose a comprehensive evaluation framework for relative performance analysis of social sustainability in the regional context. This work is the first attempt to assess regional social sustainability of transport explicitly utilizing a multi-output performance measure. We use Shannon entropy to combine the results of selected data envelopment analysis (DEA) models into a unified social sustainability performance score. The method is applied to regional road transport in the European Union (EU) member states for the period 2004–2017. The empirical section explores individual profiles of EU countries, compares the states grouped into two clusters of old (EU-15) and new (EU-13) EU members, and examines their social sustainability performance over time. The analysis suggests that considering only social factors in the measurement eliminates the bias resulting from the inclusion of economic factors. As a result, our method prevents inaccurate inflation of the scores of more economically advanced countries. The findings also draw attention to the car dependence problem associated with high motorization rates in affluent EU-15 states. The study confirms the capacity of the proposed DEA-based framework to serve as an adequate tool for measuring the social sustainability of transport, which can support policymakers by providing useful benchmarks employing social factors.

"Vem är min nästa?" : bilden av islam och muslimer i den kristna nyhetstidningen Världen idag
- 2010
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This is a case study on the construction of Islam and Muslims in sixty editorials 2006 in a Swedish Evangelical newspaper, Världen idag (“The World Today”). The paper was founded in 2001 and is offfijicially independent and non-denominational. In reality, it is fijinancially and ideologically dependent on the radical faith movement. Its circulation is about 8,500. The main theme in the selected editorials is “Muslim threat,” in some cases combined with “Western retreat” and “Islam’s incompatibility with democracy.” Islam and Muslims are consistently described as causing these problems. However, terms denoting Muslims are rarely derogatory, instead Muslims are depicted in terms of broad denotation, like “Muslims” or “the Muslim world.” These labels are often combined with a stark derogatory complement . Aggressive acts like “demanding” and “murdering” or “mass-murdering” are the most common ones associated with Muslims. Good Muslim behavior is constantly disregarded; bad behavior reflects true character. Muslims are depicted as one homogeneous stereotypical and static group.
