Although the impacts of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on different aspects of the hospitality industry have been studied, none analyzes the effects of EPU on the hotel room rates. To close this gap, using the monthly data from January 2008 to November 2019, this paper investigates the influences of Singapore’s EPU (hereafter domestic EPU) on the hotel room rates of two types of hotels, luxury and economy, in Singapore with cointegration technique and error correction model. Although prior research findings suggest that economic and disease crises, and EPU have negative effects on the dependent variable of interest, the results of this study do not always support this. The findings of this study show domestic EPU has a negative impact on the room rates of economy hotels, but no impact on the room rates of luxury hotels; and Global Financial Crisis has a negative effect on the room rates of luxury hotels, but no effect on the room rate of economy hotels. To avoid the omission of important independent variables, domestic economic condition and inbound tourism are included as other independent variables.

The overall aim of this article is to construct and empirically validate a theoretical model about how network interaction utility based on user-generated content in virtual tourism communities influences tourism destination image perception with susceptibility to interpersonal influence as a moderating variable. Seventeen hypotheses are proposed after theoretical deduction and tested. A pre-survey with 63 valid questionnaires and a formal survey with 432 valid questionnaires are conducted. Then the researchers use reliability analysis, factor analysis, correlation analysis, structural equation modeling and hierarchical regression. The results show that susceptibility to informational interpersonal influence plays a significantly negative moderating role in the relationship between instrumental utility and cognitive image perception, psychological utility and cognitive or affective image perception. Susceptibility to normative interpersonal influence significantly negatively moderates the relationship between psychological utility and cognitive or affective image perception. The findings and marketing implications helps destination marketing organizations reasonably plan tourism resources utilization and tourism product development to build or maintain a sustainable destination.

This article investigates the drivers of outbound tourism. The originality of our approach is that it integrates socio-environmental aspects in the demand for international tourism. This study provides an empirical analysis for panel data of 82 economies from 2002 to 2016. Several estimates for panel data are applied. The results are robust and consistent. Beyond the classical economic drivers of tourism, socioeconomic factors, including urbanization, unemployment, vulnerable employment, and particularly aging population, are shown to play an important role in international tourism departures and international tourism expenditure. One of the notable findings is that environmental factors, including CO2 emissions (positive) and forest area (negative), have a significant effect on international tourism. The results also show a stronger influence of economic, social, and environmental determinants of outbound tourism in higher-income economies in the period after 2008.

This study develops a five-dimension customer satisfaction scale for the Internet-famous drink industry and investigates the asymmetric impact of different dimension combinations on customer satisfaction. Through a content analysis of 24,581 online reviews, we identify 22 items across five dimensions describing the unique features of this industry. Then, a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis method was performed to analyze the responses from an offline survey of 1,012 consumers. Findings show that, as a dissatisfier, environmental quality is mainly responsible for customer dissatisfaction. Combined with environmental quality or service quality, as a satisfier, customer engagement in social media played a prominent role in improving customer satisfaction. Additionally, service quality is not essential when brand and culture, drink attributes, environmental quality, and customer engagement in social media are performed well. Our findings advance current theorizations on customer satisfaction in the food and beverage sector and offer managerial implications for managers of Internet-famous tea shops.

Brand Concept Mapping (BCM) is a mind-mapping method researchers use to explore brand association and brand image but applications of BCM are rare in tourism research. The aim of the study is to assess usefulness of BCM for developing destination brand association networks and destination brand image in a domestic (Bolu in Turkiye) and an international (Bali in Indonesia) tourism destination. Destination brand associations are generated through interviewing 40 participants, and two destination BCMs are developed through aggregating individual BCMs from 250 respondents. The findings of the study suggest that BCM is effective for determining the most salient destination brand features and destination brand association networks. The study recommends both destinations to broaden their appeal to a wider range of tourist segments; the domestic tourism destination to target international travelers who are interested in skiing, wellness and sports, and the international tourism destination to target older tourists based on its shopping and beach elements.

Although influencer marketing is deemed as the panacea to marketing issues and the solution to success for many tourism businesses, this research highlights some of the challenges and threats associated with its practice. Based on the literature available on the topic and some of the latest evidence from a variety of locations, we examine the phenomenon from a range of perspectives including audiences; policy and regulatory; influencers; destination management organisations as well as tourism organisations. This study highlights that more attention should be paid to vulnerable groups such as young audiences and local communities. This study concluds with implications for theory and practices and future research avenues for influencer marketing in tourism.

In this paper, we examine the relationship between inbound tourism and exports in Singapore. We address whether there is a long-run relationship between exports and tourism and the direction of causality between these two variables. Our findings suggest a long-run relation between Singapore’s exports and inbound tourism and that the causation is bidirectional. This implies that inbound tourism in Singapore results in a higher demand for its domestic products. This increased demand for Singaporean products, in turn, acting as a positive advertising campaign in favour of Singapore, promotes inbound tourism to this country. The policy implication of these findings is twofold: first, inbound tourism in Singapore not only contributes directly to GDP, employment and the current account via tourism revenues but also by stimulating exports, it improves further the current account of Singapore. Secondly, the stimulation of exports induced by inbound tourism creates favorable sustainability conditions for the entire tourism sector. However, one should be cautious that this effect is taking more than nine months to materialize and that inbound tourism may initially have a negative impact effect on Singapore’s exports as the overtime effect of tourism on exports exhibits a j-curve behaviour.

This article suggests that studying wine culture may help to further understand wine tourism. The broader culture of wine consumption has an influence on the motivation and interest that people have for visiting a wine region or a winery. This study takes an anthropological approach to wine consumption culture and identifies specific topics of interest that connoisseurs find in wine and that may be relevant to wine tourism. The study is based on fieldwork and interviews with wine connoisseurs from Montreal (Canada). It identifies four main dimensions through which people engage with wine. The first factor concerns the formal discoveries offered by wine, the second, its social and cultural significance, the third, its producers and their values, and the fourth, the experimentation of theoretical knowledge in the context of wine regions. Each of these four dimensions offers a means for better understanding the visitor experience at wineries.

The intention of this research note is to explore two essential elements of a winery's cellar door tasting room environment: first, the skills, knowledge, and personal attributes required by tasting room representatives, and second, how to develop meaningful social experiences for the wine tourist within the service environment of the cellar door tasting room. This note offers a discourse concerning the blend of these two elements, which proposes a new "-scape," the cellardoorscape, a microfocus on a particular service environment within a specific winery's winescape. To acknowledge an additional distinguishable "-scape" within the winescape provides some advantages. An analysis of what composes a beneficial and operational cellardoorscape could assist in developing a framework to provide management direction to winery owners and companies on the vital infrastructure and human resource practices to improve circumstances for success.

The concept of terroir has an extensive history in France linking a multitude of agricultural products to climate, soil, and local knowledge. More recently, terroir is used in viticulture to emphasize the distinctiveness of wine with respect to regional natural and cultural resources and in so doing has become important to tourism. This article addresses terroir by pointing to its substantial virtues while unveiling its potential for mystification. In the age of mass production, terroir offers distinction, an essential attribute for touristic appeal. However, in its emphasis on climate and soil in the viticultural domain, terroir conceals important historical processes that in the end speak as much, if not more, to how we rank and regard wine. Moreover, the focus on natural conditions rather than those that are social also masks social relations that are embedded in class privilege and thus give the impression that wine has a life of its own independent of its historical and social contexts.
