Abstract
When people are treated as refugees, they feel like refugees, but when they are treated as tourists they feel like tourists. This study contributes to knowledge on solidarity tourism by introducing the concept of ‘hospidarity’ (merging the theoretical readings of hospitality and solidarity) and identifying it as a driving force in the creation of a caring environment. Safe transitional spaces facilitate individuals' role transition from that of refugee to a (formerly enjoyed) tourist role. Results from field research and interviews carried out in a spa-town close to a war-torn country, both with tourism stakeholders and refugees/guests, helped us to elaborate the concept of hospidarity. Tourism stakeholders are encouraged to adopt the hospidarity procedure as an action protocol in long-drawn-out crises.
期刊介绍：
The Annals of Tourism Research is a scholarly journal that focuses on academic perspectives related to tourism. The journal defines tourism as a global economic activity that involves travel behavior, management and marketing activities of service industries catering to consumer demand, the effects of tourism on communities, and policy and governance at local, national, and international levels. While the journal aims to strike a balance between theory and application, its primary focus is on developing theoretical constructs that bridge the gap between business and the social and behavioral sciences. The disciplinary areas covered in the journal include, but are not limited to, service industries management, marketing science, consumer marketing, decision-making and behavior, business ethics, economics and forecasting, environment, geography and development, education and knowledge development, political science and administration, consumer-focused psychology, and anthropology and sociology.
