TL;DR: In this article, the authors test the relationship between tourism motivations and tourist satisfaction, and test how "Religion" moderates the relationship and find that tourism motivations are significantly and positively related to tourist satisfaction.
Abstract: The objectives of this study are to test the relationship between tourism motivations and tourist satisfaction, and to test how ‘Religion’ moderates the relationship. The variable ‘Religion’ is represented by the availability of Islamic norms and practices relevant to tourism at the destination. The results of the partial least square indicate that tourism motivations are significantly and positively related to tourist satisfaction. The results also showed that Religion significantly moderates the relationship between pull motivation and tourist satisfaction. However, the moderating effect of Religion on the relationship between push motivation and tourist satisfaction was not supported.

TL;DR: The integrative approach helps in prioritizing and formulating the funding requests to combine airspace, environmental, and procedures development and delivers optimum benefits for the air traffic and carrier community.
Abstract: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), with its NextGen Air Transportation System (NextGen) and Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) initiatives, is moving towards a concept of integrated procedures implementation. Performance-Based Navigation initiatives include implementing Area Navigation (RNAV) and Required Navigation Performance (RNP) routes and procedures. The integrative concept of implementation of these procedures would mean a migration away from site by site (or runway by runway) procedure implementation process towards a NextGen readiness concept. This concept will include development of an integrated system of PBN routes and procedures by geographic area (incorporating metro areas and outlying airports). This concept delivers optimum benefits for the air traffic and carrier community. In addition, the integrative approach helps in prioritizing and formulating the funding requests to combine airspace, environmental, and procedures development. This paper discusses different aspects of this integrative approach.
