Den hårdnande konkurrensen emellan städer för att attrahera turister, nya invånare, investerare och företagsetableringar skapar ett klimat där destinationsmarknadsföring inte bara är nödvändigt utan kan bestämma platsers framtid. Destinationsmarknadsföring bedrivs fördelaktigt i samordnade former vilket är upptakten till Örebrokompaniet, Örebro stads marknadsföringsbolag. Studien har sin förankring i destinationsmarknadsföring med integrerad marknadskommunikation, image, destinationsutveckling, nätverk och värdeskapande som underordnade teorier. Dessa sammanfattar Örebrokompaniets arbete med att marknadsföra staden. Uppsatsen som är en fallstudie bygger på en intervjuundersökning där flera betydelsefulla aktörer inom både kommunen och näringslivet finns representerade.Studiens resultat pekar på att Örebro kan vinna stora fördelar gentemot andra städer i form av Örebrokompaniets samordnade marknadsföring.

In many of the world's countries, there is a national organization responsible for marketingthat country as a tourist destination. Through their offices, these organizations work towardsthe creation of effective strategies and a deeper understanding of local markets. Usingqualitative methods such as interviews, observations, and thematic analysis, we managed toinvestigate how the Czech and the German national tourist offices operate, and whatstrategies they are implementing to increase the volume of tourism. The study focused on theanalysis and comparison of the organizations' goals and communication channels.The results show that the investigated tourist boards operate in a similar manner with smalldifferences concerning choice of strategies and communication channels. These discrepanciescan be partly explained by differences in the organization's ownership forms and theconsequences that follow that fact.

Sexturismär ett brett begrepp som mestadels förknippas med västerländska äldre män som reser till utvecklingsländer för att köpa sex. Detta har uppmärksammats sedan början av 1970-talet men på senare år har den kvinnliga sexturismen uppmärksammats allt mer i den svenska media. Studien redogör för den svenska kvinnliga sexturismen utomlands, med Gambia som fallstudie. När svensk media talar om fenomenet används förskönande beskrivningar, där kvinnornas beteender omantiseras i jämförelse med männens sexturism. Problematiseringen med detta är att två lika handlingar med samma syfte, beskrivs på två olika vis, beroende på kön.

Titel Göteborg - småstadskänsla & storstadsutbud- En kvalitativ undersökning om unga vuxnasuppfattning om Göteborg som stad.Författare Sofie Nyckelgård & Nina Raun StenbergKurs Examensarbete i Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap.Institutionen för journalistik, medier och kommunikation,Göteborgs Universitet.Handledare Jan StridKursansvarig Malin SveningssonTermin Vårterminen 2014Sidantal 32 sidorAntal ord 15 100 ordSyfte Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vad det är som gör Göteborg till en attraktiv stad enligt unga vuxna.Metod Kvalitativ intervjustudieMaterial 12 invånare i Göteborg i åldrarna 18-25Huvudresultat I denna studie kom vi fram till att det finns ett gap mellan den image unga vuxna göteborgare har av Göteborg och den profil Göteborg & Co förmedlar. Vad som gör Göteborg attraktiv som stad för en ung vuxen skiljer sig alltså från den mer generella och breda bild som nu kommuniceras ut. Ur ett ungt perspektiv karaktäriseras Göteborg som den lilla storstaden, musikstaden, naturstaden och sommarstaden. Vidare ser vi tydliga mönster i att unga vuxna föredrar områden med gemytlig och historisk karaktär där många andra unga vuxna rör sig. Göteborg uppskattas för sin varma, välkomnande och sprudlande atmosfär med ett rikt utbud av aktiviteter, socialt uteliv, hav och natur som attraherar en ung vuxen..

The research in this paper aims to producing a home version machine thatcan dry and make biological waste into compact pellets. This product ismade primarily for those who want to improve the environment and reducethe energy consuming process of separating the biological leftovers fromother waste in the large processing plants and save money due to reducedpickups of waste. Since there is no commercially available product thatdoes what we want to achieve we had to start from the beginning with boththe design and the mechanical aspects. The result is a machine, that fits inour homes, and in an easy and inexpensive way reduces the amount ofbiological waste that needs to be collected by the public wastetransportation system. This is done without reducing any of the energy inthe waste and it can still be used to compost or by large-scale plants that usethe waste to make electricity.
