| Abstract: | Individuals might have different views about the benefits and the costs of privatizing a cultural event. On the one hand, privatization may increase the quality of the event due to expanding investments. On the other hand, it may lead to the dissipation of important cultural and traditional connotations. Since benefits and costs are uncertain, we frame an individual's choice regarding privatization as a lottery choice, where risk aversion and other individual traits play a role. We empirically investigate attendees' preferences for privatizing a mass gathering festival in Italy. The festival is attended by almost 100,000 tourists each year. Over a three-year period, we collected a large dataset of survey questions. We find that willingness to accept privatization is decreasing in tourists' risk aversion, while it is increasing in their sensitivity to the festival's quality. Cultural tourists perceive a higher risk of commodification in the case of privatization. Authenticity-seeking tourists act as gatekeepers of the genuine roots of local traditions. They demand original values, ultimately contributing to the festival's cultural sustainability. The purpose of attracting visitors is in fact commonly assumed to alter local culture, resulting in a staged authenticity; and privatization of cultural goods is often associated with commodification. |

| Abstract: | Both domestically and internationally, tourist destinations are under great pressure to make their attractiveness more effective and their performance more sustainable. This is all the more true since the current context is more marked by the crisis in the tourism sector, increased competition and profound changes in tourism supply and demand. As a result, each tourist territory has an obvious challenge in terms of competitiveness, as tourism professionals must develop strategies capable of building and maintaining profitable positions (Bartikowski, 2008). This requires a reinvented piloting of its permanence, here approached by the touristic nature of their area of competence. Thus, the current problem for destinations is no longer to respond to the market but to do better than the competition. Indeed, tourism must be analysed in terms of the relationship between competitiveness and the supply of tourist attractions, but also in terms of the relationship between competitiveness and the ability of stakeholders in the destination territory to cooperate. |
| Abstract: | Tant au niveau interne qu'international, les destinations touristiques sont soumises à de grandes pressions quant à l'efficacité de leur attractivité et à la durabilité de leur performance. Ceci est d'autant plus vrai que le contexte actuel est davantage marqué par la crise du secteur touristique, l'accentuation de la concurrence et les profondes mutations de l'offre et de la demande touristiques. En conséquence, chaque territoire touristique a un défi évident à relever en termes de compétitivité, les professionnels du tourisme se devant de développer des stratégies capables de construire et de maintenir des positions profitables (Bartikowski, 2008). Ce qui nécessite un pilotage réinventé de sa permanence, ici approchée par la touristicité de leur territoire de compétence. C'est ainsi que la problématique actuelle des destinations n'est plus tant de répondre au marché que de faire mieux que la concurrence. En effet, la touristicité doit s'analyser en terme certes de relation entre compétitivité et dotation en attractions touristiques, mais aussi de relation entre compétitivité et aptitude des parties prenantes du territoire-destination à coopérer. |

| Abstract: | This paper studies the economic effects of news-coverage of violent events. To do so, we combine monthly aggregated and anonymized credit card data on tourism spending from 114 origin countries and 5 tourist destinations (Turkey, Egypt,Tunisia,Israel and Morocco) with a large corpus of more than 446 thousand newspaper articles covering news on the 5 destination countries from a subset of 57 tourist origin countries. We document that violent events in a destination are followed by sharp spikes in negative reporting at origin and contractions in tourist activity. Media coverage of violence has a large independent effect on tourist spending beyond what can be accounted for by controlling for the incidence of violence. We develop a model in which tourist beliefs, actual violence and media reporting are modelled together. This model allows us to quantify the effect of violent events and reporting. |
