Maritime tourism in its numerous forms (rapidly developing in the world) has direct impacts on coastal formation and development. As such it has become one of the most important areas of investigation. Among the many varieties of maritime tourism, due to its increasing availability and popularity, nautical tourism, which has recently had a strong i...

... It is both a social and environmental problem (Perreault et al. 2015; Román Nuñez and Cuesta Moreno 2016) that affects the ecosystem, reduce the attractiveness of the landmark (Rodríguez -Rodríguez 2012; Williams et al. 2016) and creates infection outbreaks with their consequent health and security preoccupations (Schultz et al. 2013). The conservation of the environment is not only vital for the equilibrium of the ecosystems, but also to maintain the tourism flow and assurance their continuity (Sunlu 2003;Bal and Czalczynska -Podolska 2019;Gedik and Mugan -Ertugral, 2019). Because of this, it is common that the management of these locations make use of the persuasive and prohibitive communications in the design of visual messages (Perreault et al. 2015); the former pretends a voluntary attitude change, while the latter try to do so through prohibition or coercion (Ajzen 1992;Murray et al. 1998). ...
... The effectivity of visual messages is determined by different variables such as: the place, the extent of the message, the importance attributed to it by the visitor, the presentation of the information or the language (Ajzen 1992;Winter 2006). A message is effective if it manages to influence the cognitive structure (Ajzen 1992) and is able to have a positive influence in the attitude, intention or behaviour (Ballantyne and Hughes 2003;Ballantyne et al. 2007;Powell and Ham 2008;Hughes et al. 2009;Brown et al. 2010;McNamara and Prideaux 2010;Ballantyne et al. 2011;Xu et al. 2013), in this specific case the behaviour towards the environment and its conservation (Roman and Cuesta 2016). Nevertheless, to achieve the change in attitude or behaviour the essential criteria is the acceptance of the content (Greenwald 1968). ...
Visual messages are widely used to positively influence in conservation attitudes of visitors in tourist destinations, these are usually persuasive or prohibitive. According to the literature, attitudes are classified as explicit (conscious) or implicit (beyond conscious control) and there may be differences between them towards the same attitude object. This paper aim to presents the analysis of said attitudes towards prohibitive and persuasive visual messages focused on the correct disposal of garbage in a tourist attraction. A structured questionnaire was used for explicit measurement and the Implicit Association Test for implicit measurement, these were applied in two sun and beach destinations in the Mexican Caribbean. After the tests carried out, it is established that both messages (persuasive and prohibitive) are effective at an explicit level; however, at an implicit level, the persuasive message produces more favorable attitudes, thus is a better opportunity to positively influence conservationist attitudes.
... forms of technical and technological processes, hence it is exposed to certain risks (Kasum et al., 2018). Nautical tourism is a relevant category of maritime tourism, since it generates direct impacts on coastal development and destination promotion and has become one of the most important areas of research (Bal and Czalczynska-Podolska, 2019). As highlighted by Vázquez (2020), nautical tourism in the Mediterranean Sea is greatly dynamic and developed. ...
Nautical tourism is a tourist product with great development in the European space and a lot of potential to promote and develop tourist destinations. Considering the dynamics of nautical tourism management and the importance of meeting the specificities of this market niche, the objective of this study was to analyse the strategic alliances for the development of the offer of nautical tourism products, namely the strategic goals and sustainable environmental practices adopted by their actors which integrated the strategic alliances in order to certificate a plethora of nautical stations in Portugal. Between September and December 2021, 17 Portuguese nautical stations' application forms were collected. Content analysis using Nvivo software was the technique used for data analysis. The results showed a multiplicity of strategic objectives associated with the strategic alliance established between the nautical stations. The strategic vision of nautical stations for the development of strategic alliances is built, firstly, on the objective of structuring the tourism offer, followed by increasing governance and promoting and marketing nautical tourism using the image of the destination. Based on these results, it is possible to infer the importance of nautical stations in destination competitiveness and the role of strategic alliances in facilitating penetration in the nautical tourism market. The managers of nautical stations should consider the use of strategic alliances to make a cooperative marketing in order to improve the experience of the clients. Regarding environmental sustainability practices, the results exposed the prominence of environmental education actions in contrast to the reduced number of nautical stations developing actions for the adoption of sustainable transport. This study contributes to a better understanding of nautical tourism and Portuguese nautical stations, a project of strategic investment in sport and tourism, inferring on the objectives underlying the formation of strategic alliances and on the adopted environmental sustainability practices. The conclusions of this study point to the need for future scientific research on the actual operationalization of the objectives underlying the formation of strategic alliances, as well as the environmental practices developed by nautical stations.
... Nautical tourism is defined as part of the general tourism phenomenon that has significantly changed the structure and characteristics of the tourism industry [19,20] It is a type of tourism within general maritime tourism that generates direct impacts on coastal formation and development and that due to its relevance has become one of the most important research areas and has been treated in multiple studies [23] According to these definitions, the authors state that nautical tourism is a variant of tourism where the sea is the most important feature and the presence of marinas is a differentiating that meets the complex and growing demand of nautical tourists [24]. Nautical tourism can appear in many different fields of research. ...
Tourism related to the sea and boating activities is becoming increasingly popular and revolves around a range of leisure, water sports, nautical or other maritime activities. This article studies the main scientific contributions in this area, bearing in mind the complexity of finding a suitable definition of this concept. Hence, the aim of this paper is to analyze the scientific production from 1986 to 2020 in impact journals of the terms “nautical tourism”, “maritime tourism” and “marine tourism” considering the following variables: number of documents, number of articles, period being studied, Hirsch citations and index. The results show an increasing trend in terms of both the number of published articles and citations publications from 2007 onwards and the review of the literature raises the need to define a new concept: “blue tourism”. Future trends in research include terms such as tourist ports, quality of websites and blue economy.
