Pets, generally, and dogs have become an essential part of families. This situation implies that people consider their dogs when planning family holidays, excluding moving to a second home. This study aims to investigate the perceptions of dog owners according to the demand for tourist establishments where they can stay with their pets. A total of 1391 dog owners’ surveys were collected and analyzed, and various covariance-based structural equation modelling (CB-SEM) was developed to determine the suitability of the measurement model, the second-order factors, and the relationships between the different constructs. The main results of this research show that the motivations for traveling with the dog, the limitations this encounters, and, above all, the attachment that the family has with its pet significantly influence the choice of accommodation. The findings of this research will help hotel managers with the design of policies that meet the needs of families travelling with their dogs. The analysis of dog owners’ motivations for choosing tourist accommodation due to their attachment and the limitations for travelling allows us to obtain more accurate information.

In recent decades, the surge in new content platforms and formats has led to an 85% increase in mobile TV and video consumption since 2010. Concurrently, audiovisual content such as films and series has become pivotal in boosting the popularity of destinations and influencing tourists' travel decisions. Consumers increasingly seek products and services that offer added value, including symbolic elements and distinctive experiences. Film tourism has experienced significant growth, driven by enhanced travel accessibility and the democratisation of tourism globally. This study employs a literature review and empirical analysis to examine how place attachment, attitudes, and satisfaction mediate the relationship between perceived value and loyalty towards cinematic tourism destinations. By integrating cognitive and emotional constructs, the study proposes a comprehensive model that advances the understanding of tourist behaviour in the context of film-induced tourism. The results confirm that both emotional connection and satisfaction significantly affect destination loyalty. The findings provide valuable insights for destination managers to effectively leverage film tourism trends and foster sustainable tourism development through more emotionally engaging and memorable experiences.

The aim of the present research was to present the typologies of foreign tourists in the city of Granada, Spain, based on their emotional perception and interest in culture using different fieldwork methods. The main obtained results determine four segments of tourists: cultural, alternative, heritage, and emotional. The results also show that, in addition to cultural reasons, tourists presented other types of attractions that encouraged them to visit the city. Regarding the satisfaction variable, the obtained results show that satisfaction increased when cultural reasons had a strong influence on the tourists’ choice of destination. This research contributes to identifying the characteristics of the different visitor segments, with the aim of designing tourist and cultural products that can more efficiently satisfy their needs. This will have a positive impact on the economic development of the city of Granada with an increase in tourist spending, which will lead to an increase in employment and urban development.
