Wine tourism, as a model of sustainable economic development in certain areas, is able to boost the competitiveness of a territory, improve wine production, respect the environment, and improve the living conditions of citizens. In this sense, this work will present an overview of this type of tourism worldwide and nationally, focusing on the province of Malaga. The diversification of the tourist industry has promoted the appearance, or extension, of new tourist activities beyond the typical activities associated with beach or cultural tourism. This has resulted in new job creation and new income generation options. Wine tourism promises and delivers a complete sensory experience, as tourists experience the consumption of wine from all senses: taste, smell, touch, sight, and sound. This experience is not limited to the consumption of the wine, but also includes the experience of a visit to wineries or vineyards, together with the necessary lodging, depending on location. In this way, the grouping of activities and the development of tourist routes stimulate cooperation between different companies in rural areas. Thus, we propose that tourism is a means by which economic and social development can be achieved in these areas and regeneration strategies can be implemented.

Este trabalho realizou uma análise sobre a prática do turismo no semiárido nordestino, mais precisamente na região vinícola localizada nos estados de Pernambuco e Bahia. O que preexistiu por décadas foi uma apropriação do espaço pela agricultura de subsistência. A partir da prática da agricultura moderna e de atividades não agrícolas, o meio rural brasileiro tem sofrido transformações, envolvendo atividades do setor de serviços, inclusive o turismo, que oferece possibilidades de melhoria de vida, ao oferecer renda complementar às atividades primárias como agricultura, pecuária e extrativismo. Esses serviços instalam-se no meio rural, estabelecendo novas relações, tornando-o diferenciado. Objetivou-se analisar as dinâmicas do turismo no Vale do São Francisco, observando novas práticas, fluxos e ocupação do espaço rural, com implantação de novas estruturas turísticas. A pesquisa possui abordagem qualitativa e foi realizada por meio de levantamento e análise bibliográfica, além do trabalho de campo desenvolvido pela técnica da observação participante junto aos empresários, agentes de governos e instituições ligadas à vinicultura e ao turismo. O Vale desenvolve agricultura irrigada para mercados nacionais e internacionais, possui característica climática peculiar, pois necessita de irrigação devido ao baixo índice pluviométrico. Assim, torna-se possível programar colheitas e obter 2,5 safras ao ano. Impulsionada pelos projetos de agronegócio, a região atrai investimentos de vinícolas internacionais, gerando euforia pouco comum em cidades do sertão, normalmente marcadas pela seca e baixo índice de desenvolvimento humano. Apostando na produção de vinhos, poder público e empresários voltam-se para estruturação do enoturismo. Destacam-se cinco vinícolas que, aliadas à tecnologia, possuem vinhos premiados internacionalmente. Com visitas agendadas, turistas podem conhecer sistema de produção e fazer degustações. O turismo valorizou o espaço local, contudo ainda se apresenta de forma singular em vias de consolidação. Reveste-se de forte refinamento, recriando o espaço a partir de ações cada vez mais artificiais para realizar desejos dos visitantes. Embora grandes proprietários estejam se unindo em torno da atividade e se beneficiando mais diretamente das políticas de fomento, esta não é a realidade vivenciada pelos pequenos produtores, empregados e artesãos locais. Portanto, o mundo rural possui um expressivo dinamismo e é, cada vez mais, heterogêneo. Deve ser compreendido como elo essencial entre o rural e a dinâmica urbana, integrando o meio rural ao conjunto da sociedade com objetivo de assegurar os contatos sociais. Essa multifuncionalidade e diversificação do meio rural constituem uma nova forma de organização dessas atividades agrícolas aliadas à prática do turismo. Multifunctionality in rural Brazilian: the tourism in wine region of the São Francisco Valley ABSTRACT This paper conducted an analysis of the practice of tourism in the northeast semiarid, specifically in the wine region in the states of Pernambuco and Bahia. For decades there was an appropriation of space for subsistence agriculture. Through the practice of modern agriculture and/or non-agricultural activities, the rural areas in Brazil have undergone transformations, including services like tourism that enables an improvement in life conditions when providing complementary income to the primary activities such as agriculture, livestock and extractivism. These services emerge in rural areas, establishing relations, changing its characteristics. São Francisco Valley develops irrigated agriculture seeking the aiming the national and international market, it has a peculiar climate since it needs to be irrigated due to the low rainfall. This way, it is possible to schedule and obtain 2,5 harvests a year. Stimulated by the agribusiness projects, the regions attract investments from international wineries, changing the dynamic of hinterland cities usually characterized by drought and low human development index. Relying on wine production, the government and businessmen focus on the organization of wine tourism. The aim is to analyze the tourist dynamic in the São Francisco Valley, studying new practices, flows and occupation in rural areas with the implementation of new tourist facilities. The research has a qualitative approached and was conducted through bibliographical analysis and field research developed by the participant observation technique with entrepreneurs, government and institutions related to wineries and tourism. Due to the tourism, the space has been recreated to fulfill the visitors’ needs and expectation, however it is still in the process of consolidation. Although the landowners are involved in the activity and getting benefits directly from development policies, these benefits are not experienced by the small producers, employees and local artisans. Therefore, the rural areas have an expressive dynamism and it is increasingly heterogeneous. This multifunctionality and diversification of rural areas constitute a new form of organization of these agricultural activities together with tourism.

AbstractThe paper connects culture, tourism and rural development. It tries to make an overview of various forms of cultural tourism in Czechia. Attractions of cultural tourism are identified and ranked according to their cognitive function. Their list includes cultural heritage in spheres of archaeological sites, architecture, arts, folklore, pilgrimages, technical works, cultural events or protected landscape areas. The culture of wine in Southern Moravia has been chosen as an example. Its analysis was elaborated using the Importance/Performance Analysis. Czechia has great potential for the cultural tourism development in rural areas but it seems to demand a great deal of work when one needs to be constantly reconciling the changing interests of tourists with the potential of the regions. One of the important goals is to attract tourists into rural areas and thus limit their concentration in the most attractive places. Rural cultural tourism seems to be a significant aspect in this respect. The part of the study is the example of the adaptation of the current situation with COVID-19 to properly support the development and cultural potential of domestic tourism in South Moravian region in relation to the economic impacts on international tourism.

Purpose. Assessing agro-climatic conditions for wine growing in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship and presenting selected conditions for the development of wine tourism. Methods. The main factors influencing the possibilities of wine tourism development were identified on the basis of existing data on the climate of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, tourist traffic statistics and applicable formal and legal conditions related to viticulture as well as wine production and sales in Poland. Findings. Potential areas with agroclimatic conditions that are favourable for viticulture were identified in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, and the areas that are most predestined for the development of wine tourism were selected in the region due to the analysed factors. Research and conclusions limitations. The limited number of meteorological stations and their uneven distribution in the voivodeship prevented the separation of additional sub-areas of viticulture due to varied physiographic conditions. The considerations were based on existing archival data and legal acts. So far, no empirical research has been conducted among winemakers in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship. The next stage of research should involve confronting the presented applications with the experience of vineyard owners in the field of their business Practical implications. The presented considerations and conclusions may encourage farmers and investors to establish new vine plantations, as well as contribute to raising the local and regional authorities’ awareness of the fact that wine tourism can be a factor positively affecting residents’ standard of living. Originality. The West Pomeranian Voivodeship is one of the most visited regions in Poland, however, tourist traffic is concentrated in a narrow coastal zone. The vast majority of publications on tourism development problems relate to this area, and only a few deal with the lake zone. Furthermore, arable lands are treated marginally in tourism-related research. Type of paper. The article is based on archival data and a review of literature.

From the beginning of the 21st century, interest in vineyards and the production of wine from own grapes has increased in Poland, both from the demand and supply side. For many vineyard owners, this is a hobby that is unrelated to the professional work. The aim of this study is to identify the most important determinants that are beneficial to the development of wine-making and wine tourism in Poland. The analysis of secondary sources was used, including data collected by the Polish Agricultural Market Agency (since 2018 National Support Centre for Agriculture), the International Organization of Vine and Wine (OiV) and the Institute for Market Research GfK Polonia. It was found that the most important factors favouring the development of vines and vineyards in Poland are: global warming; production of more resistant vine strains; increased experience and skills of vineyard owners in the area of viticulture and wine production; activities of non-profit organizations related to vineyards; inclusion of Poland into the EU zone as a country with wine potential; legislative changes; promotion of Polish viticulture; increased wine consumption and the search for innovative and profitable forms of agriculture in rural areas.

Tourism has become a priority in national and regional development policies and is considered a source of economic growth, particularly in rural areas. Nowadays, wine tourism is an important form of tourism and has become a local development tool for rural areas. Regional tourism development studies based on wine tourism have a long history in several countries such as the US and Australia, but are more recent in Europe. Although Spain is a leading country in the tourism industry, with an enormous wine-growing tradition, the literature examining the economic impact of wine tourism in Spanish economy is scarce. In an attempt to fill this gap, the main objective of this paper is to analyze the impact of wine tourism on economic growth and employment in Spain. More specifically, by applying panel data techniques, we study the economic impact of tourism in nine Spanish wine routes in the period from 2008 to 2018. Our results suggest that tourism in these wine routes had a positive effect on economic growth. However, we do not find clear evidence of a positive effect on employment generation.

Questionnaire-based surveys are among the most widespread data collection methods in tourism research. However, the special features of rural tourism, with frequently spontaneous, non-massive visitation patterns and sparse visitor numbers, pose challenges to onsite questionnaire administration. Researchers must address these problems to make sample recruitment easier and more effective, while maintaining the goals of representativeness of population and data validity. Using the rural wine tourism context, this article identifies the major challenges for questionnaire-based onsite surveys and suggests best practice procedures. Challenges are discussed using three complementary perspectives: of the supply agents, of the research subjects (the visitors) and of the researchers. The article presents the theory and case study-inspired reflection on the potential strategies of overcoming these challenges and guaranteeing the largest possible number of visitors surveyed in contexts where visitors are few. The discussion includes the questionnaire’s characteristics; the physical setting of its administration; the researchers involved; the visitors approached; the social interactions and influences occurring during the process. Issues with the future use of alternative online forums are also discussed.

Both the European and the Hungarian rural areas suffer multi dimensional problems. Beside infrastructural under development the most important difficulty is employment. Unemployment is significant in the rural areas, while other structural characteristics like education, profession, work circumstances and seasonality worsen this unfavourable situation. It can be stated that the challenge with the highest priority in rural and spatialdevelopment is to create jobs and to strengthen local employment. The authors examine the job generating possibilities of energetic biomass of agricultural origin in a structural point of view. The aim is to develop spatial biomass product line models that permanently support the raise of employment by utilizing the possibilities of the European Union support policy and the popularity of this branch.
