| Abstract: | This paper aims to fill this gap by examining the impact of tourism on urban transformation using a dataset of hotel openings in Madrid from 2001-2010. I show that hotel openings positively impact the number of establishments and employment by using the number of protected buildings as an instrumental variable to account for the non-random distribution of hotel openings. Interestingly, hotel openings contribute to changes in the composition of the economic activities and the business structures, enhancing tourist-oriented corporate-owned businesses over other individualowned companies. Finally, economic effects extend to the real estate market, increasing rental prices and residential investment. |

| Abstract: | In this paper, we assess the impact of a fare-free public transport policy for overnight guests on travel mode choice to a Swiss tourism destination. The policy directly targets domestic transport to and from a destination, the substantial contributor to the CO2 emissions of overnight trips. Based on a survey sample, we identify the effect with the help of the random element that the information on the offer from a hotelier to the guest varies in day-to-day business. We estimate a shift from private cars to public transport due to the policy of, on average, 16.9 and 11.6 percentage points, depending on the application of propensity score matching and causal forest. This knowledge is relevant for policy-makers to design future offers that include more sustainable travels to a destination. Overall, our paper exemplifies how such an effect of comparable natural experiments in the travel and tourism industry can be properly identified with a causal framework and underlying assumptions. |

| Abstract: | While players in the tourism sector have demonstrated a growing interest in cryptocurrencies, only 8% of French people declared having already invested in cryptocurrencies in 2021. This research focuses on the determinants of the adoption of new cryptocurrency technology in the case of hotel room reservations on online platforms offer payment in Bitcoin by adapting the UTAUT model. A quantitative study carried out with 189 respondents residing in France shows that perceived usefulness, ease of use and perceived risk are major determinants of the intention to use cryptocurrencies. More surprisingly, the attitude towards new technologies does not have a significant effect on the intention to adopt this means of payment. These results highlight consumer gaps in understanding cryptocurrencies and specifically blockchain, the infrastructure that should negate the usefulness of cryptocurrencies to consumers as well as reduce their perceived risk. This research shows that tourism stakeholders who wish to democratize the use of crypto-assets must set up awareness-raising actions with travelers by insisting on the usefulness and security provided by this technology. |

| Abstract: | Everyone has the right to legal protection in various activities of his life, including between producers and consumers. This article aims to discuss the prospects of sharia tourism in Gorontalo City and consumer legal protection of culinary products in realizing sharia tourism in Gorontalo City. This research is a field research with an empirical juridical approach. Data collection is in the form of literature, observation, questionnaires, and interviews. Furthermore, the collected data is analyzed with qualitative description. This qualitative descriptive uses a data display with 3 activity paths, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing and verification. The results showed that: first, the prospect of sharia tourism development in Gorontalo City is very promising, both in terms of geography and demographics; second, legal protection for consumers of culinary products by restaurants and food stalls in Gorontalo City is in principle by consumer protection laws, but on the one hand related to halal certification of the business they do is still low and still it needs to be improved based on the Tourism Law and the Halal Product Guarantee Act. |
