We investigate tourism-led Dutch Disease in the selected South Asian countries with data covering from 1980 to 2018 as no studies have been done from the South Asian perspective. We use recently developed robust panel econometric methods for this empirical analysis. Our results reveal that concerning variables have long-run cointegrating relationship given their stationarity property and cross-sectional dependency. The ARDL (PMG) and the panel DOLS show that tourism and economy are positively associated in the long-run (0.17 and 0.12). We further reveal that increase in tourism activities reduce manufacturing competitiveness in the long-run (-0.19 and -0.11), which is a symptom of tourism-led Dutch Disease. Our results also confirm that the presence of Dutch Disease persists for a long time. Therefore, we suggest that policymakers can utilize a part of the tourism-generated revenue for the mutual development of both the sectors to alleviate Dutch Disease in South Asia.

Online communication (Web 2.0) is an important tool that can assist consumers in choosing a service and/or buying a product and, if used effectively, can help businesses to improve organizational performance. This is a study of the websites of a sample of 4,080 Italian agritourism farms, which focuses on the construction, utility, and relative maturity of these businesses. The study entails an exploration of how and where the organization of websites is effective for the promotion of the features of agritourism farms and is, therefore, essential for providing recommendations for decision-makers in the Italian agritourism sector. To test the study hypotheses, an extended Model of Internet Commerce Adoption (eMICA) is used, which is adapted to include the information reported on each agritourism farm website. Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detection (CHAID) helps to analyze the differences in website design and vacation types on offer at the provincial level. The eMICA highlights the utility of using interactivity to measure the relative maturity of agritourism farm websites. In contrast, the CHAID decision tree shows how the diversification of vacation types is an important strategy for selling local agri-food products, especially to farm accommodation guests.

Using an organizational learning lens, this article examines how Thailand as a destination has learned lessons from the Covid-19 crisis. Two levels of learning are identified: a first level of learning, in which the destination learns directly from the crisis (i.e., from managing the pandemic) and a second level of learning, which is disconnected from the initial subject of the crisis (i.e., overtourism and sustainability). The data shows that this double-level learning was possible due to an intermediate step that helps making the link between the management of the crisis and the management of sustainability. The article suggests that the Covid-19 crisis has given opportunities for tourism actors to draw lessons on the management of overtourism and sustainability, even though the initial crisis was a health crisis and not an ecological one.

Following the growing popularity of Airbnb, much research has been conducted, while limited attention has been devoted to the spatial patterns of Airbnb, which can provide insights into the geographic logistics of Airbnb supply. To fill this gap, this study investigates the spatial patterns of Airbnb supply in the city of Los Angeles during the years 2014 to 2019. This study integrates Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA) and explores the determinants of spatial patterns of Airbnb supply in 2019 with spatial regression models. The results of the spatial autocorrelation analysis show that the spatial distribution of Airbnb supply in Los Angeles is positively clustered and shows a geographical logistical trend over time. The distribution of Airbnb supply has a clear center-periphery pattern. The high-high (HH) clusters are concentrated in the central areas of Los Angeles, while low-low (LL) clusters predominate in the peripheral areas. In addition, with spatial regression analysis, several determinants affecting the spatial distribution of Airbnb supply are identified such as resident population, housing units, income, rent, point of interest (POI), and the distance to Hollywood. Further implications of the findings are discussed below.

This study investigates the professional experiences of executives in gambling and hospitality organizations from jurisdictions around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic. This qualitative research uses semi-structured interviews centering around three phases of crisis management: preparedness, in terms of crisis/disaster plans before COVID-19; response, addressing topics such as current COVID-19 crisis management, employment conditions, and marketing strategies; and future, concerning future plans for investments and expected changes in customers’ behaviors. Leaders’ predictions of customers’ behaviors, especially with regard to the use of online platforms, can help set the foundation for future technology-based service interactions. Moreover, this analysis investigates how the COVID-19 crisis can represent an opportunity for innovation and diversification, especially in terms of new technologies and corporate social responsibility. Future research opportunities in crisis management in hospitality are discussed.

This study explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic upon the performance of the U.S. travel and leisure stock, using daily data sets from December 31, 2019, to December 2, 2020. Applying the multifactor model, which is an extension of the capital asset pricing model, the study examines how governmental announcements and policy measures to contain the pandemic situation impact the stock prices controlling for confirmed cases, growth rates, and death rates owing to the pandemic. Further, to reduce the potential bias in heterogeneity, crucial macroeconomic regressors such as oil prices, exchange rates, and a volatility index are included. The study obtains a heterogeneous impact across quantiles. Government stringency measures negatively impact the travel and leisure stock prices, while the announcement of economic support programs positively impacts the stocks, particularly at the high-end quantiles. We advocate that the introduction of asset-light and fee-based strategies will enable the firms to overcome the adverse implications of the pandemic in the long run. This study offers major insights for protecting and developing the recovery of the travel and leisure stock market by considering the importance of government interventions and their effective implementation.

In the hospitality sector, while close and high quality of relationships between the customers and employees may develop a long-lasting bilateral bond, the opposite may create customer losts. By following a customer-oriented approach, this study aims to examine the influence of the customer-employee bond on hotel customers’ satisfaction, perceived value, and behavioural intention. For achieving this purpose, a survey was conducted with the participation of British tourists staying in hotels located in Fethiye, Turkey. Results of the structural equation modeling showed that the customer-employee bond significantly and positively impacts all variables. In addition, customer satisfaction has a significant influence on behavioural intention, whereas perceived value affects customer satisfaction and behavioural intention. The findings of the study stress the importance of hotel employees in creating good and long-term relationships with the customers.

The present study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the journal Tourism Analysis. Publication and citation structure and keyword analysis have been used to trace the growth and contributions of the journal spanning from 2001 to 2020. The data depicted a declining trend in the year-wise number of publications. The study found that studies related to tourist destinations are the most consistently researched topic in the journal. As evidenced by the data, the journal maintains the pace with global trends, and a few other contemporary issues have been suggested to enhance its influence and readership.

The COVID-19 pandemic has devastated the ecosystem of tourism businesses. This study aimed to assess the effect of the pandemic on consumers’ intentions to choose sharing economy products and services. A series of five experimental designs was conducted using online panel data. Consumers were found to be less likely to choose sharing economy products under pandemic conditions. During the pandemic, cleanliness is considered more important than location when people choose Airbnb accommodation. The results of this study contribute to a better understanding of the underlying psychological mechanisms that are driving consumers’ decisions in the current environment of market uncertainty, and offer evidence of the effects of the global health crisis on people’s decisions to use sharing economy products in the tourism industry.

Religious tourism represents a significant market segment of the tourism industry with dynamic growth of billions of dollars. However, natural disasters in religious destinations can incur great loss to such a vibrant industry. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to study the behaviour patterns of religious tourists relating to revisit intentions to disaster affected religious destinations. Considering the lack of research in this area, this study investigated the revisit intentions of religious tourists to natural disaster-affected religious destinations using the push-pull motive theoretical framework. The results from the data collected on revisit intentions confirmed religious faith, gratitude, and peace and relaxation as main push factors responsible for religious tourists revisiting disaster-affected religious destinations. Subsequently, disaster awareness through media and personal safety were found as key pull factors that significantly moderated the relationship between peace and relaxation and revisit intentions. Findings indicate that religious tourists who are driven by religious faith and gratitude are not significantly impacted by external pull factors compared with those who visit for seeking peace and relaxation.
