Several studies reveal that collaboration can be strongly influenced by knowledge sharing. The literature suggests that this topic is quite relevant and that there is an evident lack of empirical studies that properly investigate the relatio...
The influence of eventscape on emotions, satisfaction and loyalty: The case of ...
Carneiro, Maria João; Eusébio, Celeste; Caldeira, Ana Maria; Santos, Ana CláudiaThe popularity of re-enactment events has increased worldwide. A conceptual model is proposed, positing that the eventscape of re-enactment events has a positive effect on satisfaction and loyalty by generating emotions, and that different emotions – pleasure and arousal – have a mediating role on the influence of eventscape on satisfaction. The model is tested using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Mo...
It’s so hot: predicting climate change effects on urban tourists’ time–space ex...
Caldeira, Ana Maria; Kastenholz, ElisabethProgressive changes in mean annual temperatures are arguably the strongest evidence of ongoing climate change. In destinations with a Mediterranean climate, in contrast to the colder months, during summer, rising air temperatures are believed to inhibit tourist movements and activities, and consequently affect tourists’ evaluation of and satisfaction with their experiences. To the best of our knowledge, no prev...

Differences between first-time and repeat visitors are examined using global positioning systems technology and a post-visit survey of tourists staying at 10 different hotels in Lisbon. The impact of prior destination experience is assessed regarding...
