The application of the Signalling Theory to the case of the tourism standards of quality are established. An empirical research study on the performance of a wide range of hotels that have evolved from not possessing certification to being accredited by some form of quality standard (regional, national or international) during a period of seven years. The results provide evidence on the usefulness of quality certifications as signals to the market to achieve increases in sales, gains in market share, increased occupancy and average room price, and therefore an improvement in profitability per room and overall profit for the hotels.

This study analyses the impacts of environmental amenities associated with agricultural and silvicultural land use on the price of rural tourism accommodation in Asturias (Spain). A hedonic price model that relates the price of rural accommodation to environmental amenities as well as equipment, services offered, and the locational characteristics of the accommodation is estimated. The rural accommodations in the study are the self-catering cottages, the intrinsic features of which promote the development of rural tourism sustainability. Geographic information systems (GIS) data are used to measure the location and the proximity to amenities of these self-catering cottages. The main results indicate that agricultural land use has an important impact on the price of accommodation in self-catering cottages. Specifically, a high percentage of grassland in the municipality where the self-catering cottage is sited has a positive effect on rental prices, while a high percentage of arable crops has the opposite effect. The analysis is interesting for decision-making in the context of environmental policies, land use conflict resolution, and rural tourism sustainability.

Motorways of the sea (MoS) came into being in order to offer a competitive alternative to the transport of goods by road, with the aim of relieving the congestion of land routes and promoting sustainable mobility. However, the numbers of passengers who use them for leisure purposes to move from one destination to another highlights their potential use for tourism. Thus, the objective of this study is to investigate the economic importance of this transport mode in terms of tourism development. To that end, discrete choice models are estimated with censored data, allowing identification of the factors that positively or negatively affect the total expenditure of tourists using the MoS. Finally, through an input–output model, the economic impact generated in a region is estimated. The results show a total economic impact in the region of Asturias equal to 50 % of the government subsidies received in Spain for the MoS project in 2013.
