In the last few years the economic model of the islands of Cape Verde has undergone a significant change. This paper analyses Cape Verde's economic transformation over the last decade, which is mainly attributable to tourism. For this analysis, the results of fieldwork carried out in the three islands in the archipelago are presented, in which foreign tourists' perceptions and opinions are examined. The results show the high level of tourist satisfaction, the need to reinforce links between the tourism sector and the local community and tourists' high evaluation of the beaches, restaurants and hospitality.

This article analyses the link between bullfighting and tourism, and the motivations and satisfaction of the attendees. It carries out a comparative analysis of tourist profiles and their motives for attending or not a bullfight. The aim is to analyse the variables influencing the satisfaction of attendees at bullfights. The results reveal significant differences between residents and tourists on the level of satisfaction, with higher levels for higher-income attendees, and in demographic variables, the motivation for attending bullfights and feelings about the life of the animal. Se analiza el vínculo entre la tauromaquia y el turismo, las motivaciones y la satisfacción de los asistentes. Se realiza un análisis comparativo de los perfiles de los turistas y sus motivos para asistir o no a una corrida de toros. El objetivo es analizar las variables que influyen en la satisfacción de los asistentes a las corridas. Los resultados revelan diferencias significativas entre residentes y turistas en el nivel de satisfacción, siendo más alto para los de mayor renta, y en las variables demográficas, la motivación y los sentimientos sobre la vida del animal.

Participation in running events has expanded worldwide, consolidating itself as a form of active leisure and a driver of social and tourism engagement. Although runners’ motivations have been extensively studied, perceived inclusivity, understood as motivation derived from the event’s promotion of equitable participation across gender, age and functional ability, has rarely been examined as a distinct motivational dimension within structural models. This study analyses the motivational structure of participants in the Elche Half Marathon (Spain) and assesses the incremental contribution of inclusivity to traditional motivational frameworks. Based on a sample of 1053 valid responses, a two-stage psychometric and segmentation approach was applied. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses (EFA and CFA) were conducted to compare a four-factor model (sport-related hedonism, competition, socialization and digital socialization) with an extended five-factor model incorporating inclusivity. Subsequently, cluster analyses were performed using factor scores derived from each model. The results show that the inclusion of inclusivity improves model fit and increases explained variance, while also generating a more differentiated segmentation structure. The extended model revealed six motivational profiles, some of which displayed continuity with the classical solution, while others were reconfigured when inclusivity was introduced. Overall, the findings indicate that inclusivity functions as a complementary and context-dependent motivational dimension that refines the understanding of participation heterogeneity in running events. Rather than replacing traditional motives, inclusivity contributes incremental explanatory value and enhances the identification of motivational profiles, offering relevant insights for the design and management of mass-participation sporting events.

This study examines residents’ perceptions of the impacts of a small-scale urban running event in Córdoba, Spain, oriented primarily toward women and linked to the visibility of women in sport. The research addresses whether gender bias exists in impact perception, whether a differentiated inclusive-sporting dimension emerges alongside the traditional economic, social, and environmental dimensions, whether the structure of perceived impacts and support is compatible with Social Exchange Theory, and whether different resident segments can be identified in line with Social Representations Theory. Data were collected from 536 residents during the event and in the following week. The analysis combined item-level gender comparisons, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and cluster analysis. The results identified four perceived impact dimensions: inclusive-sporting, economic, social, and environmental, together with a differentiated support construct. Women reported more positive perceptions than men in the inclusive-sporting, economic, and social dimensions, whereas no significant gender differences emerged in environmental inconveniences. Three resident segments were identified: Enthusiasts, Supporters, and Detractors. Overall, the findings suggest that women-oriented small-scale sporting events are evaluated not only through economic, social, and environmental impacts, but also through their perceived contribution to inclusion, city image, and gender equality.

Introducción: Esta investigación analiza a la tuna universitaria como símbolo cultural y el papel que supone en el fortalecimiento de la identidad y la imagen de las universidades. El objetivo principal es investigar las motivaciones para formar parte de una tuna, así como la percepción tanto interna como externa de esta tradición. Metodología: Mediante un trabajo de campo, se han podido recopilar 2.486 cuestionarios válidos realizados a miembros de tunas en diferentes países. Resultados: El análisis desarrollado reveló que las motivaciones y la imagen de la tuna, ejercen un efecto positivo y significativo sobre su reconocimiento como marca, destacando así el valor de la tuna en la promoción de la cultura. Discusión: Se destaca que la tuna no sólo es una agrupación musical, sino también una unión social y cultural, que conecta valores como el compañerismo, la tradición y el patrimonio. Conclusiones: El reconocimiento de la tuna con la Declaración de Manifestación Representativa del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de España, como fase previa a la consecución por la UNESCO de la declaración de Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad ayudará a enriquecer la imagen universitaria y a conservar la tradición universitaria española exportada a toda Iberoamérica.

En este artículo se plantea como principal objetivo de investigación conocer el perfil sociodemográfico, la motivación y la lealtad del turista idiomático en una ciudad Patrimonio de la Humanidad, la ciudad de Santo Domingo de Guzmán (República Dominicana). Así, nos centraremos en el estudio de este tipo de turista en la ciudad y en la posible relación entre sus características sociodemográficas, su motivación y lealtad. La metodología utilizada ha consistido en la realización de un trabajo de campo basado en encuestas a los turistas.
