ABSTRACT Attending a day camp during summer has many benefits for children and their families. When a child has special needs, challenges may be encountered. This is especially true for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Based on nine articles selected from seven databases, the objective is to shed light on the adaptations or intervention strategies as well as the support to be offered to young children with ASD in the camp setting. Two main themes emerged from the analysis regarding the impact on children with ASD: 1) the development of social skills through specialized programmes or interventions and 2) the improvement of physical literacy through camp participation. It was also noted that training for practitioners is a key to achieving these positive outcomes.

ABSTRACT Through the lens of neoliberalism, the purpose of this paper is to illustrate the techniques of responsibilization in municipal recreation access provisions. Using data from interviews with 16 municipal recreation administrators in Atlantic Canada, we trace responsibilization through fiscal policies and administration schemes characterizing four neoliberalism tenets: privatization, efficiency, individualism, and accountability. Our findings identified four techniques of responsibilization embedded in access provisions for low-income citizens: 1) privatizing recreation provisions by off-loading programming responsibility; 2) not advertising financial assistance programmes and other informal financial support; 3) assuming accessing financial assistance programs is easy, and 4) verifying low-income status. The responsibilization inherent in these access provisions cultivates relational distance, which we suggest challenges the provisions’ ‘accessible’ nature.

ABSTRACT We examined the relationship between socio-economic status (SES) and leisure preferences with Canadian secondary data collected in the 1970s. In leisure studies, there is little to no research drawing on the omnivore hypothesis to examine the relationship between SES and leisure. With the omnivore hypothesis, higher SES is expected to be associated with greater breadth of leisure activities in addition to greater investment in activities associated with higher SES. The cultural omnivore pattern has also largely been associated with a cultural shift during the 1980s with little research on the phenomena before that time period. As expected, higher SES was positively associated with breadth of leisure activities, but negatively associated with time in activities associated with lower SES. Results demonstrated the potential for the cultural omnivore hypothesis to inform our understanding of the ways SES shapes leisure consumption in a Canadian context and questions the time-limited nature of these phenomena.

ABSTRACT This study attempts to investigate tourists’ emotional well-being in routine life with travel motivations and intention during COVID-19. Based on a survey of 511 Macao outbound vacationers, this study tested the hypotheses and revealed that the push factor of ‘escape & relaxation’ and two motivational constructs of ‘ safety & convenience’ and ‘family socialization’, which much concerned tourists during COVID-19 pandemic, could significantly influence tourists’ repeat travel intention. Moreover, the results indicated that tourists’ positive emotions toward their routine life could increase their repeat travel intention and motivation of ‘safety & convenience’ but decrease the need of ‘family socialization’ for tourism consumption, while negative emotions did the opposite. This study empirically confirmed the significant effects of emotional well-being in routine life on tourists’ travel motivations and intention during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some theoretical implications for future research and managerial implications for tourism recovery were discussed.

Abstract S’il existe une littérature portant sur les loisirs dans un contexte migratoire, peu d’attention a été accordée au rôle des loisirs comme élément structurant des communautés migrantes. Cet article examine le rôle des loisirs dans le processus de développement d’une communauté migratoire en analysant l’interconnexion qui existe entre loisirs, homophilie sociale et réseaux sociaux des acteurs. L’auteure propose ici une analyse originale de la sociabilité dans un contexte migratoire, délaissant une lecture ethnique au profit d’une approche se concentrant sur le capital culturel et l’homophilie sociale des acteurs. Basée sur sur 36 entretiens semi-directifs menés avec des migrants russophones établis en Suisse, cette étude souligne le rôle des loisirs dans le développement de relations pouvant s’apparenter à une communauté. Il apparaît que les loisirs offriraient non seulement des lieux de sociabilité, mais surtout faciliteraient l’émergence de réseaux sociaux basés sur l’homophilie sociale plutôt que sur une origine commune.

ABSTRACT Natural hot springs tourism is one of the least researched areas in tourism literature. This research aims to observe tourist loyalty to natural hot springs tourism through the roles of tourist motivation, destination image, and tourist satisfaction. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to the respondents and a total of 404 valid responses were used for the analysis. The results show that all variables tested have positive and significant effects on tourist destination loyalty. Satisfaction is the most influential variable. Destination image does not directly affect loyalty, but it has a significant indirect effect through satisfaction. Tourist push motivation does not directly influence satisfaction; however, these two variables are indirectly and positively linked by destination image. These findings indicate that tourist satisfaction and the destination image are important variables that contribute to hot springs tourist destination loyalty. Therefore, destination managers should establish a higher tourist satisfaction level to sustain tourist loyalty.

ABSTRACT There are few studies that have explored music as an interpretive framework, or as a moderator of emotions, both positive and negative, for late-life individuals outside of dementia-related depression. Further understanding of negative emotions that may arise during the aging process, be those emotions self-imposed or because of one’s social environment, is warranted, particularly if those negative emotions can be dealt with constructively through leisure instead of leaving them to fester in a self-destructive manner. To do so, this manuscript explores the life of one man in his 70s, Joseph, as he navigates getting older, the demise of his third marriage, falling out with lifelong friends, and ongoing troubles with his neighbours related to noise from his musicmaking. We employ a non-traditional approach to storytelling that draws from interviews over the course of two months with Joseph filtered through a methodological and stylistic approach to writing we call ‘gonzo ethnography

ABSTRACT Community sport organizations provide youth with opportunities to engage in organized sport through the dedication of volunteers. One group important to the implementation of programs are coaches. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to explore the sacrifices of a volunteer coach at the recreational, competitive, and high-performance level in New Brunswick (NB), Canada. Interviews were the main source of data collection. This research draws on serious leisure literature to gain an understanding of the sacrifices of being a volunteer coach. The findings revealed that volunteer coaches’ sacrificial factors included time sacrifice, coach education, travel, hotel and food expenses, and missed opportunities for career earnings. Based on the findings, it is suggested that sacrifices often become inherent volunteering norms that are taken for granted, where there are no other options if the sport organizations want to ensure the programs are administered.

ABSTRACT Individuals who have an intellectual and/or developmental disability (IDD) may benefit physically and psychosocially from engaging in recreation. This qualitative description study focused on the Inclusion Resource Team programme, an inclusive municipal recreation programme for adults who have an IDD, and explored elements that may lead to optimal recreation experiences. Interviews were conducted with 4 participants, 6 caregivers, and 11 staff. Guided by the Quality Participation Framework (QPF), a thematic analysis examined factors contributing to quality experiences within the programme. All three environmental conditions (physical, social, programme) and six building blocks (autonomy, belonging, challenge, engagement, mastery, meaning) of the QPF contributed to participants’ experiences. Some participants experienced barriers to ‘belonging’ and ‘engagement’. Findings support using the QPF in inclusive recreation for adults who have an IDD. Attention must be given to fostering belonging and engagement and environmental conditions that may contribute to these building blocks are identified.

ABSTRACT Muslim health tourism poses a close proximity between religion, tourism, and health. Sharia salons and spas are currently experiencing exponential and massive growth. This study aimed to analyze the typology and archetype of Muslim health tourist behaviour based on motivation (pre-trip), activity (travel on site), and perceived benefits (post-trip) in visiting Sharia salons and spas. This research has used crosstab SPSS to analyze the primary data from 100 Muslim health tourists who visited Sharia salons and spas in Indonesia. The results revealed the archetypes of Muslim health tourists: 1) Benefit Seeker, 2) Trend Slaver, and 3) Sharia Servant. These typologies and archetypes of Muslim health tourist can be used to influence policy for the management of salons and spas Sharia are more Muslims customer-driven by arranging the right programme, product and services for each the Muslim health tourist group.
