The existence of homestays in rural areas has yet to receive substantial welcome from certain visitors, emphasis is placed on the values offered. This study explored the drivers (i.e., functional value, social value, emotional value, trust, and cleanliness) for rural homestay accommodations and their impacts on intentions to stay through voluntary responses gathered from actual and potential homestay guests. 292 valid responses were used to discover homestay guests’ intentions to stay at rural homestay. A partial least squares-structural equation modelling and multi-group analysis were employed for preliminary and comparative analyses. Last but not least, the constructs that were assessed were visually presented in the path models. The results determine five established clusters of research, commonly applying the theory of planned behaviour. Interestingly, this study discovered that cleanliness was perceived as a determinant on intention to stay at rural homestays for both actual and potential homestay guests. Some of the determinants were perceived differently according to group of guests. Despite numerous studies have been conducted in Malaysia to identify the different elements influencing the intention of Malaysian individuals to stay at rural homestay, however, there is no known study has been conducted by looking into the list of proposed independent variables namely functional value, social value, emotional value, trust, and cleanliness in a single framework. This study is considerably one of the first to employ a technique of multi-group analysis, where the insights from two different types of travellers; that is actual and potential guests of rural homestays in Sarawak.

This study explores how a crucial measure can contribute to tourism impact research on residents and understand the standpoints among different resident groups. A stakeholder perspective demonstrates how residents in the public and private tourism sectors consider economic and environmental impacts. It probes differences in perceptions towards tourism impacts between these two stakeholder groups. Data are gathered among residents working in Macao’s private and public sectors. A semi-structured interview is used to collect data, with 14 interviews conducted. After the data analysis, significant differences are not found in residents’ opinions of both groups regarding economic and environmental impacts. Furthermore, the findings do not indicate the perceptions of negative environmental impacts can be mitigated if the number of tourists declines. The study contributes to the literature by adding the importance of residents’ perceptions of tourism impacts on the tourist destination and pursuing sustainable tourism planning and development. Findings are also relevant to Macao, using the traditional measures of residents’ perceptions, which may help raise support among residents of tourist destinations for future tourism development. Then, it can further help improve the sustainable tourism management of tourist destinations.

While the conceptually related fields of sustainability and psychological well-being have been informed by extensive research in recent years, efforts to integrate these fields are yet to be systematically advanced. This lack of integration has left the nexus between sustainability and well-being largely underexplored and conceptually underdeveloped. Tourism offers a novel context within which to explore the intersection. Consequently, this paper critically assesses the relationship between sustainability-related decisions and tourist well-being. It is informed by the analysis of thirty semi-structured in-depth interviews that critically explored the holiday experiences of tourists while travelling internationally. Analysis revealed that both responsible and irresponsible tourist behaviours are interconnected with tourists’ psychological well-being and are influenced by external barriers and internal conflicts. Responsible behaviours were found to contribute to eudaimonic well-being through a heightened sense of perceived integrity. Conversely, irresponsible behaviours trigger negative self-appraisals, enacting coping mechanisms and generating guilt. This manuscript presents the triple helix model detailing the complex and interconnected relationship between (ir)responsible behaviour and psychological well-being in tourism experiences. Future research should consider the intricate connections between tourists’ sustainability-related decisions and psychological well-being as central to the developing sustainable tourism research agendas.

Ethical and responsible tourism managing sustainability in local tourism destinations to explore new tourism destinations regarding situations related to responsible tourism and sustainability based on sustainability management in local destinations. The basic aim of studying this theme is to expolarize several diverse situations related to ethical and responsible tourism based on the concept of how we manage sustainability in local tourism destinations, both methodologies, and practices that can be used to maintain environmental sustainability in local communities that are still vulnerable while gaining benefits from ecological, cultural, cultural heritage and adventure tourism activities at an economic level. This has an impact on local tourism operational processes which demonstrate responsible and sustainable destination management as well as maximizing socio-economic benefits and minimizing negative impacts and maximizing benefits for the community, visitors, and cultural heritage. This review is a critique of Ethical and Responsible Tourism in Managing Sustainability in Local Tourism Destinations Second Edition by Marko Koščak and Tony O’Rourke. Koščak and O’Rourke explained that the sustainability of ethical and responsible tourism management is considered important which includes three main themes that can be measured and planned to utilize tourism destination management, starting from environmental and social aspects to creating ethical sustainable development, and the impact of business tourism. This review will evaluate ethical and responsible tourism management approaches on the sustainability of their impact on tourism development in local tourism destinations relating to the important balance between socio-economic objectives that provide benefits to local communities in the short to medium term.

Vaping (also known as electronic cigarettes) has taken the world by storm and is now a multi-million-dollar global industry. Yet, government policies and regulations do not keep pace with the segment’s explosive growth. Some countries have banned the sale of such products outright, though others have enforced rules surrounding its circulation. Nevertheless, vaping products appear easily accessible through online sales channels and often fall into the hands of a younger market segment. Vaping is considered a national issue among many countries, due to rising rates of youth adoption and addiction. The rise of vaping can be explained by its framing as a more desirable alternative to traditional tobacco products, as well as its range of flavours to suit different peer, and subculture groups. Nonetheless, this viewpoint traces the development of vaping in several Southeast Asian countries and the development of several government policies and regulations. Related to responsible tourism, this viewpoint explores the scenarios of vaping-induced tourism and support for or against such a development. Framed through the lens of a narcotics-induced tourism lens, this viewpoint argues how vaping can be classified as a form of irresponsible leisure in tourism, drawing upon its social and environmental negative outcomes. Future strategies and actions are proposed to help countries stem the tide of vaping, especially from an inbound tourism perspective.

Manual coffee brewing is the preferred method owing to its capacity to produce a more delicate and diverse range of flavors. While extensive research has been conducted on the process of coffee brewing, there has been limited discourse on the impact of agitation techniques on the quality of the steeping phase. The primary objective of this study is to explore the influence of agitation methods, specifically V60 and Kalita, on the quality of the steeping process. A survey-based investigation was conducted, analyzing sensory attributes such as flavor, aftertaste, acidity, body, balance, sweetness, overall flavor, acid intensity, and body level. A panel of twenty skilled baristas participated as evaluators. The findings of this research demonstrate that agitation plays a crucial role in achieving optimal extraction during the coffee brewing procedure. The particular agitation method employed distinguishes the brewing process and the final steeping outcome. Notably, the use of stirred agitation in the V60 method results in a well-balanced steeping flavor characterized by an acidic orange aroma and a subtle undertone of brown sugar, all without leaving a lingering, cloying aftertaste. The brewed coffee produced using this method exhibits a moderate level of acidity and body, alongside a subtly sweet flavor profile that contributes to an enhanced overall taste experience.

As the global tourism industry attempts to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, small-scale, community-based regenerative tourism is bringing a creative transformation to declining neighborhoods and areas struggling to attract visitors. This case study focuses on a tour project that aims at regenerating a degraded suburban landscape in Hiroshima, Japan, and turning it into a location for Creative Tourism in cooperation with the local community. The study connects Regenerative Tourism and Creative Tourism, revealing that creative tourism serves as a catalyst for community revitalization. The research methods involve participant observation, interviews with tour operators and tourists, and secondary data analysis, with thematic analysis revealing insights into sustainable tourism, community engagement, and the company’s efforts to preserve and promote local culture and nature. The case study suggests that the growing demand emerging after the pandemic also creates new opportunities for transformation through small-scale regenerative and Creative Tourism that is respectful of local culture and creates revitalization opportunities with residents. The growing demand emerging after the pandemic also creates new opportunities and transformation through small-scale regenerative and Creative Tourism that is respectful of local culture and creates revitalization opportunities with residents. The study argues that the combination of Creative Tourism and a regenerative framework results in a mutually beneficial relationship. Although regenerative creative tourism products are more difficult to design and manage, it is a more responsible approach. This case shows that Regenerative Creative Tourism promotes local well-being and long-term sustainability, emphasizing the necessity of a holistic, creative, and regenerative approach in the changing global tourism landscape, especially for community and environmental regeneration.

This study investigates how green-slow mobility services can contribute to sustainable urban tourism development. It first reviews the literature related to green-slow mobility and sustainable urban tourism to identify a research gap. It then discusses how green-slow mobility services can nurture the atmosphere of slow tourism in urban areas based on the case of the Ikebus, a green-slow mobility service in Ikebukuro, Japan. The case of the Ikebus is described based on secondary data, mainly from Toshima City in Tokyo, Japan. Based on the Ikebus case, this study proposes that green-slow mobility can enhance the slow tourism atmosphere in a destination through the destination’s residents and workers. The case demonstrates that, with strategic planning and implementation, green-slow mobility can lead local residents and workers to feel a greater attachment to the city. As the symbol of Ikebukuro, the Ikebus will signal to tourists and visitors that residents and workers in Toshima City are supportive of providing tourists and visitors with local tourism experiences. This study proposes a preliminary new idea that green-slow mobility can serve as a catalyst to realize slow tourism in urban destinations.
