Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Studying valuation, motivations and satisfaction allows a better understanding of the expectations, needs and objectives of tourists, which are essential inputs for the design of marketing strategies. Despite this, few works study segmentation and valuation based on the most relevant motivations of tourists, especially in countries such as Ecuador. Therefore, the main goal of this research is to characterize the profiles of the tourists who visit Manta, metropolitan area of Manabí, Ecuador, through a quantitative approach and the application of a survey that weighs their motivations, travel behavior, product or service purchased, and their evaluation and satisfaction towards the destination. The results lead to conclude that the main practical implication of this research is to understand the motivations, valuation and satisfaction of the identified segments in order to contribute to improving key action strategies within the framework of the complementarity between cultural heritage and sun-and-beach tourism in Manta.
