Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the metaverse platform in a social context to better understand the future of this tool in tourism cities and how this can help to improve the well-being of residents in both digital and physical scenarios.

Design/methodology/approach

In this paper, the current and probable developments in the metaverse, and its use in tourism cities and companies have been investigated. Moreover, this study develops, collects and examines the main metaverse definitions by expert authors and organizations as a methodology to ensure the transparency and credibility of the metaverse analysis.

Findings

Findings suggest that the fusion of the metaverse and tourism cities must create residents’ services and experiences in the new MetaTourPolis to help interact and connect citizens with the city’s institutions and companies, as well as make tourism cities more attractive, innovative, environmentally friendly and healthier places to live. Metaverse will bring new changes for residents and tourists, in fact, this virtual platform is already changing and improving the residents’ quality of life and people with disabilities in tourism cities. For instance, the metaverse platform has been implemented in Seoul, Santa Monica and Dubai MetaTourPolis to interact with their residents, including people with disabilities, to resolve bureaucratic and administrative problems, avoiding this group and the rest of the residents travelling by bus or car to the city’s institutions. In addition, several metaverse applications based on softbot tutors or metaverse virtual social centres have been developed to improve blind and impaired people, and elderly people’ quality of life, respectively.

Originality/value

A new concept called “MetaTourPolis” has been included to stage the relationship between tourism cities and the metaverse platform, where the fusion of metaverse and the new tourism polis of the 21st century will be at the service of citizens, tourists and companies, to create more sustainable, efficient, quantitative and environmental tourism cities.

目的本文旨在分析社会背景下的元宇宙平台,以更好地了解这一工具在旅游城市中的未来,以及如何在数字和物理场景中帮助改善居民的福祉。设计/方法/途径本文调查了元宇宙当前和可能的发展,及其在旅游城市和公司中的应用。研究结果研究结果表明,元海外与旅游城市的融合必须在新的元旅游城市(MetaTourPolis)中创造居民服务和体验,以帮助市民与城市机构和公司之间的互动和联系,并使旅游城市成为更具吸引力、创新性、环保和更健康的生活场所。Metaverse 将为居民和游客带来新的变化,事实上,这个虚拟平台已经在改变和提高旅游城市居民和残疾人的生活质量。例如,首尔、圣莫尼卡和迪拜 MetaTourPolis 都已实施了元网络平台,与包括残疾人在内的居民互动,解决官僚和行政问题,避免了这一群体和其他居民乘坐公共汽车或汽车前往城市机构。此外,还开发了一些基于软机器人辅导员或元数据虚拟社交中心的元数据应用,以分别改善盲人、残障人士和老年人的生活质量。 原创性/价值 一个名为 "元旅游城市"(MetaTourPolis)的新概念将旅游城市与元数据平台联系在一起,元数据与 21 世纪新旅游城市的融合将为市民、游客和企业服务,以创建更加可持续、高效、定量和环保的旅游城市。

Purpose

This paper aims to explore the opinions of business owners in an industrial area of Abu Dhabi that could be potentially turned into an art tourism destination.

Design/methodology/approach

By mobilizing the concept of “gentrification aesthetics,” the authors use a recall technique to explore support toward art from business owners, regression analyses to understand how the type and content of art predicts gentrification support and chi-square to research the differences between respondents who support the area to become a creative place and those who do not.

Findings

A model that explains the connection between gentrification aesthetics and art tourism is presented.

Research limitations/implications

The authors’ proposed model results from testing the possibilities for expanding art tourism specifically and may not apply to other types of tourism. Future research is needed to understand whether and how the model can be applied to other forms of tourist consumption.

Practical implications

The current research presents a case study on how tourism can be strategically expanded into more rural places in a city.

Social implications

The authors found significant differences between respondents who would like to see Mussafah becoming a creative place in five years and those who believe Mussafah needs to be(come) something else.

Originality/value

While work on tourism gentrification has been conducted, the nexus between gentrification aesthetics and art tourism cannot be found. Their relation can help to expend (art) tourism from busy cultural attractions to industrial areas. The present research fills this gap.

目的本文旨在探讨阿布扎比工业区企业主的意见,该工业区有可能被打造成艺术旅游目的地。设计/方法/方法通过调动 "城市化美学 "概念,作者使用回忆技术来探讨企业主对艺术的支持,使用回归分析来了解艺术的类型和内容如何预测对城市化的支持,使用卡方来研究支持该地区成为创意之地的受访者与不支持的受访者之间的差异。研究限制/意义作者提出的模型是专门测试扩大艺术旅游的可能性的结果,可能不适用于其他类型的旅游。社会影响作者发现,希望看到穆萨法在五年内成为一个创意之地的受访者与认为穆萨法需要成为其他地方的受访者之间存在显著差异。原创性/价值虽然已经开展了有关旅游城市化的工作,但尚未发现城市化美学与艺术旅游之间的联系。它们之间的关系有助于将(艺术)旅游从繁华的文化景点转移到工业区。本研究填补了这一空白。

Purpose

Social sciences have discussed the host–guest relation from many theoretical lenses and perspectives. Violence as well as local crime has been studied as one of the major risks concerning tourism security. Anyway, less attention was given to homeless people and their interaction with foreign or local tourists. The purpose of this paper is oriented to explain how globalization has winners and losers, in which case, as noted, thousands of persons are excluded from the formal labor marketplace or the economic system year by year.

Design/methodology/approach

This is a conceptual paper that discusses critically not only the recent advances of sociology in urban tourism but also the connection between homeless people and tourists.

Findings

There is an urban underclass formed by those who have been excluded from the economic system. What is more important, such an underclass situates nearby luxury hotels and tourist destinations creating serious contradictions or zones of disputes. These contradictions have been approached by different sociologists since the turn of the 20th century.

Research limitations/implications

The question of sustainability, as well as the idea of liveable cities, and the efficient organization of the city, have occupied a central position in the academic debate, above all after the COVID-19 pandemic. In the present paper, the authors put in dialogue the contributions of Marc Auge with Zyggy Bauman toward a new understanding of this postmodern phenomenon.

Originality/value

Based on the metaphor of vagabonds and tourists, we give a snapshot of the problem of homelessness in Buenos Aires city and its effects on the tourism industry. Unlike other English-speaking countries where the cities are actively organized by the state, Buenos Aires city lacks a planned program to regulate and relocate homeless people. They dwell in nonplaces nearby tourists sleeping in the streets near luxury hotels (but for sure escaping any planning or governmental control).

目的社会科学从许多理论角度和视角讨论了东道主与游客的关系。暴力和当地犯罪被视为旅游安全的主要风险之一。然而,人们较少关注无家可归者及其与外国或本地游客的互动。本文旨在解释全球化是如何产生赢家和输家的,在这种情况下,如前所述,每年都有成千上万的人被排除在正规劳动力市场或经济体系之外。更重要的是,这一底层群体位于豪华酒店和旅游景点附近,造成了严重的矛盾或纠纷。自 20 世纪初以来,不同的社会学家已经对这些矛盾进行了研究。研究局限性/影响可持续发展问题以及宜居城市和城市有效组织的理念在学术讨论中占据了中心位置,尤其是在 COVID-19 大流行之后。在本文中,作者与马克-奥格(Marc Auge)和齐吉-鲍曼(Zyggy Bauman)进行了对话,以期对这一后现代现象有新的理解。原创性/价值基于流浪者和游客的隐喻,我们对布宜诺斯艾利斯市的无家可归问题及其对旅游业的影响进行了简要分析。与其他英语国家的城市由国家积极组织不同,布宜诺斯艾利斯市缺乏一个有计划的方案来管理和安置无家可归者。他们居住在游客附近的非场所,睡在豪华酒店附近的街道上(但肯定逃脱了任何规划或政府控制)。

Purpose

By analyzing tourist choices in Side and Alanya, well-known destinations for tourists in Türkiye’s thriving urban tourism sector, this study aims to fill a crucial vacuum in the body of knowledge about urban tourism. The study examines the changing dynamics of consumer preferences for advertisements and closely examines the underlying factors that influence these preferences, both pre and post-influential COVID-19 period.

Design/methodology/approach

This study clarifies the complex interplay between tourism marketing and prospective tourists’ decision-making processes through a thorough examination. This research greatly improves our understanding of urban tourism marketing strategies by examining the varying effects of advertising channels and comparing the persuasive power of emotional versus numerical advertising messages.

Findings

This study’s findings significantly advance our understanding of urban tourism. Examining how visitors react to advertisements in the various urban environments of Side and Alanya offers insightful information on how marketing strategies and visitor preferences correlate. This research also reveals the subtleties of efficient communication techniques, providing a practical basis for improving urban tourism experiences.

Originality/value

Being the first study of its sort, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this research’s originality is supported by its insights into how advertising, consumer preferences and the urban tourism environment interact. The significant contribution to knowledge highlights the implications for those involved in urban tourism and provides practical advice for improving advertising tactics in the post-COVID-19 age.

目的 通过分析图尔基耶城市旅游业蓬勃发展的著名旅游目的地 Side 和 Alanya 的游客选择,本研究旨在填补城市旅游业知识体系中的一个重要真空。本研究探讨了消费者对广告偏好的动态变化,并仔细研究了影响这些偏好的潜在因素,包括 COVID-19 影响前后的情况。本研究通过考察广告渠道的不同效果以及比较情感广告信息与数字广告信息的说服力,极大地增进了我们对城市旅游营销策略的理解。通过研究游客在锡德和阿拉尼亚的不同城市环境中对广告的反应,我们可以深入了解营销策略与游客偏好之间的关联。本研究还揭示了高效沟通技巧的精妙之处,为改善城市旅游体验提供了实用的依据。原创性/价值据作者所知,本研究是同类研究中的首例,其原创性体现在对广告、消费者偏好和城市旅游环境如何相互作用的深入了解。这项研究对知识的重大贡献强调了对城市旅游从业人员的影响,并为在后 COVID-19 时代改进广告策略提供了实用建议。

Purpose

This paper aims to check if destinations with powerful similarities also show similar tourism/overtourism effects that differentiate them from other destinations. This paper gathers and compares data on overtourism in European historic cities already presented in the existing literature and points out features and problems typical for these destinations.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper was based on the systematic literature review method, which allowed the author to indicate the most commonly studied European historic cities and the characteristics of overtourism problems.

Findings

The results of this study reveal that several European historic cities share similar tourism development patterns and the overtourism problems manifest numerous similarities. Significantly, these problems are characteristic of historic cities only and partially different from those observed in European urban destinations such as metropolises.

Research limitations/implications

This study enhances a proper understanding of overtourism and the contradictory results published in the existing literature. This study is the first step in building a more situational approach to overtourism and adjusting the theory to particular destinations' features.

Practical implications

The outcome of this study offers local policymakers several hints regarding effectively facing the overtourism problems. Historic cities require special attention when actions toward lowering extreme tourism pressure in monumental zones are implemented and residents' concerns about the spread of tourism, including short-term listings, to residential quarters need to be addressed.

Originality/value

To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first study based on a comparison of similar destinations aimed to develop theory and practical implications devoted purely to a limited number of destinations sharing numerous similarities. The set of coherent theoretical and practical implications designed for a narrow group of cities is to be an essential contribution to the development of research and practice in urban tourism.

目的 本文旨在检验具有强大相似性的旅游目的地是否也表现出与其他旅游目的地不同的类似旅游/过度旅游效应。本文收集并比较了现有文献中关于欧洲历史名城过度旅游的数据,指出了这些目的地的典型特征和问题。研究结果研究结果表明,一些欧洲历史名城有着相似的旅游发展模式,过度旅游问题也有许多相似之处。值得注意的是,这些问题只具有历史名城的特征,与在欧洲城市目的地(如大都市)观察到的问题存在部分差异。本研究为建立一种更加因地制宜的过度旅游方法以及根据特定旅游目的地的特点调整理论迈出了第一步。历史名城在实施降低古迹区极端旅游压力的行动时需要受到特别关注,居民对旅游业(包括短期旅游)向居民区蔓延的担忧也需要得到解决。原创性/价值据作者所知,这是第一项基于相似旅游目的地比较的研究,旨在发展纯粹针对具有众多相似性的少数旅游目的地的理论和实践意义。这套针对少数城市的连贯的理论和实践意义,是对城市旅游研究和实践发展的重要贡献。

Purpose

This paper seeks to revisit the interrelationship among tourists’ perceived value of the destination, tourist satisfaction and destination loyalty in the heritage tourism site of Hoi An. In addition, the moderating role of tourists’ perceived crowding, which has become remarkably common at the site, in such a triangle relationship will also be explored. In other words, this study aims to validate an extended model of perceived value – tourist satisfaction – destination loyalty – perceived crowding.

Design/methodology/approach

The study collects data from 403 tourists who visited Hoi An during peak season through an online questionnaire. The data were later analysed using AMOS and Warp partial least squares.

Findings

The results validate the significant and positive correlation among perceived value, customer satisfaction and destination loyalty. Also, perceived crowding was confirmed to affect the relationship among these three variables negatively. In terms of academic contributions, this paper empirically proved that low levels of tourist satisfaction and destination loyalty among tourists who highly value their visiting experience at World Heritage Sites (WHS) can be caused by perceived crowding.

Originality/value

So far, current literature has investigated the direct (either positive or negative) relationship between perceived crowding and post-visit behaviours of tourists (Nie et al., 2022; Papadopoulou, Ribeiro, & Prayag, 2023; Stemmer, Gjerald, & Øgaard, 2022). Broadening this area of research, the authors of this paper used the social interference theory and the stimulus-overload theory to explain the low level of tourist satisfaction and destination loyalty among tourists who highly value their visiting experience at WHS.

本文旨在重新审视会安遗产旅游地游客对目的地的感知价值、游客满意度和目的地忠诚度之间的相互关系。此外,本研究还将探讨游客感知到的拥挤程度在这一三角关系中的调节作用。换句话说,本研究旨在验证感知价值-游客满意度-目的地忠诚度-感知拥挤度的扩展模型。研究结果验证了感知价值、顾客满意度和目的地忠诚度之间存在显著的正相关关系。同时,感知到的拥挤程度也被证实会对这三个变量之间的关系产生负面影响。在学术贡献方面,本文通过实证研究证明,在高度重视世界遗产地(WHS)游览体验的游客中,游客满意度和目的地忠诚度较低的原因可能是感知到的拥挤。原创性/价值迄今为止,已有文献研究了感知到的拥挤与游客游览后行为之间的直接(正面或负面)关系(Nie 等人,2022;Papadopoulou, Ribeiro, & Prayag, 2023;Stemmer, Gjerald, & Øgaard, 2022)。本文作者拓宽了这一研究领域,使用社会干扰理论和刺激超载理论来解释高度重视世界遗产中心游览体验的游客满意度和目的地忠诚度较低的原因。

Purpose

This study aims to examine the impact of the structural linkages between memorable tourism experiences, destination attachment, tourists’ satisfaction and customer-based destination brand-equity on tourists’ storytelling intentions.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors proposed a conceptual model that examines how memorable experiences contribute to tourists’ sense of attachment to a destination, which can lead to their willingness to share their trip stories. Using partial least square estimation, the authors analysed the conceptual model through data generated by a survey of 448 Indian domestic tourists.

Findings

Study confirms the validity and usefulness of the conceptualized model, as it shows significant correlations between the key variables. Specifically, the authors found that positive and memorable tourism experiences significantly affect tourists’ attachment and their satisfaction with destinations. As a result, tourists who form a strong customer-based destination brand equity are more likely to develop storytelling intentions.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, current study is the earliest to explore the association between memorable tourism experiences, tourist satisfaction, attachment, customer-based brand equity and how they impact storytelling intentions of tourists.

目的 本研究旨在探讨难忘的旅游体验、目的地依恋感、游客满意度和基于顾客的目的地品牌价值之间的结构性联系对游客讲故事意愿的影响。作者提出了一个概念模型,探讨难忘的旅游体验如何促进游客对目的地的依恋感,从而使他们愿意分享自己的旅行故事。研究结果研究证实了概念模型的有效性和实用性,因为它显示了关键变量之间的显著相关性。具体而言,作者发现,积极和难忘的旅游体验会极大地影响游客对旅游目的地的依恋和满意度。据作者所知,目前的研究首次探讨了难忘的旅游体验、游客满意度、依恋、基于顾客的品牌资产之间的关联,以及它们如何影响游客讲故事的意愿。

Purpose

This study aims to investigate multilingual representation on public signs in the High City tourist destination in Abha, Saudi Arabia. It also reveals the linguistic strategies used in such representation.

Design/methodology/approach

This exploratory qualitative study used purposive sampling to analyze bottom-up public signs collected from the target tourist destination. A preliminary analysis was conducted for a more in-depth qualitative analysis of every sign. An Excel database was used to provide a general description and a preliminary reading of the strategies before using an in-depth analysis of every sign.

Findings

The study revealed that monolingualism (Arabic or English) and bilingualism (Arabic and English) represented the High City as a tourist destination where the signs served information and symbolic functions. No single multilingual sign was found. Certain linguistic strategies were used on the public signs, including politeness, transliteration, hybrid representation, personification and fragmentary. Some tourist-oriented strategies, such as the crisis communication strategy, are still missing.

Practical implications

These findings indicate that this tourist destination still targets local and regional visitors, and its linguistic landscape (LL) needs further consideration in terms of internationalization and targeting international visitors. This study implies that bilingual Arabic and English tourist destinations are potential domains for translation students and English language learners.

Originality/value

This study has focused on the LL of a newly established tourist destination in Saudi Arabia. It has shed light on the nuanced representations and strategies used through public signage. It contributes to understanding how linguistic elements can shape tourists’ perceptions and experiences.

目的本研究旨在调查沙特阿拉伯阿布哈高城旅游景点公共标识上的多语言表述。设计/方法/途径这项探索性定性研究采用目的取样法,对从目标旅游景点收集到的公共标识进行自下而上的分析。为了对每个标识进行更深入的定性分析,我们进行了初步分析。在对每个标识进行深入分析之前,我们使用 Excel 数据库对策略进行了总体描述和初步解读。 研究结果研究发现,单语(阿拉伯语或英语)和双语(阿拉伯语和英语)标识代表了作为旅游目的地的高城,这些标识具有信息和象征功能。没有发现单一的多语言标志。公共标识上使用了一些语言策略,包括礼貌、音译、混合表述、拟人和片段。这些研究结果表明,该旅游景点仍然以本地和区域游客为目标,其语言景观(LL)需要进一步考虑国际化和以国际游客为目标。本研究表明,阿拉伯语和英语双语旅游景点是翻译专业学生和英语学习者的潜在学习领域。 原创性/价值本研究重点关注沙特阿拉伯一个新建旅游景点的语言景观。它揭示了公共标识所使用的细微表述和策略。它有助于理解语言元素如何影响游客的感知和体验。

Constructing Spanish smart destinations: a new guide for the tourism industry 建设西班牙智慧旅游目的地:旅游业新指南
IF 2.6 Q2 HOSPITALITY, LEISURE, SPORT & TOURISM Pub Date : 2024-01-01 DOI: 10.1108/ijtc-09-2023-0193
Lázaro Florido-Benítez

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to analyse Benidorm, San Sebastián, Gijón, Málaga, Tenerife Island and Santander smart tourist destinations (STDs) as a touristic model and example to follow by other destinations in Spain and all over the world.

Design/methodology/approach

To fulfil the stated objective, this study follows several phases that introduce and classify a set of measures implemented by the six Spanish smart destinations to be designed as a STD.

Findings

Findings suggest that being a STD requires a high cost, and this is only accessible to big destinations with enough resources. Of the 50 Spanish provinces, eight are STDs, and these are localised in coastal areas. Obviously, this challenge is not within the reach of any Spanish city. Moreover, findings of the current study prove that the six Spanish smart destinations have a good air accessibility through their six airports, but the accessibility in a STD is not just physical; this must provide digital accessibility to tourists through destination marketing organisation’s website and app that will supply them with information on a wide range of services, including accommodations, tourist attractions, restaurants, public transport, museums and monuments’ locations, amongst many others.

Originality/value

From a resident point of view, a STD cannot be only focused on a technological and tourism context; a STD also requires knowing and meeting the needs of local residents and having a voice in decision-making processes. Hence, this study shows a new perspective on STDs that will benefit the literature on STDs.

目的本研究的目的是分析贝尼多姆、圣塞巴斯蒂安、希洪、马拉加、特内里费岛和桑坦德的智慧旅游目的地(STDs),作为西班牙和世界各地其他旅游目的地效仿的旅游模式和范例。设计/方法/途径为实现既定目标,本研究分为几个阶段,介绍了西班牙六个智慧旅游目的地为成为智慧旅游目的地而实施的一系列措施,并对这些措施进行了分类。研究结果研究结果表明,成为智慧旅游目的地需要高昂的成本,而这只有拥有足够资源的大型旅游目的地才能做到。在西班牙的 50 个省份中,有 8 个是 STD,这些省份都位于沿海地区。显然,西班牙任何一个城市都无法应对这一挑战。此外,目前的研究结果证明,这六个西班牙智慧旅游目的地通过其六个机场拥有良好的航空可达性,但科技旅游目的地的可达性不仅仅是物理上的,还必须通过目的地营销组织的网站和应用程序为游客提供数字可达性,这些网站和应用程序将为游客提供广泛的服务信息,包括住宿、旅游景点、餐馆、公共交通、博物馆和古迹位置等。原创性/价值从居民的角度来看,科技促进发展不能只关注技术和旅游方面;科技促进发展还需要了解和满足当地居民的需求,并在决策过程中拥有发言权。因此,本研究为科技促进发展提供了一个新的视角,将对有关科技促进发展的文献有所裨益。

Purpose

Food not only satisfies the need and nourishes positive experiences but also enhances involvement with the cultural, social and environmental attributes of a destination. As urban tourism is embracing sustainable consumption practices (SCP), this study aims to explore tourist’s responsible behaviour by embracing traditional gastronomic delicacies. More specifically, it pinpoints the driving forces behind why people choose traditional gastronomic delights.

Design/methodology/approach

The study adopted the triangulation method involving the grounded theory approach (GTA) attained through a series of focus group discussions followed by the survey method taking an emerging economy’s perspective (India and Bangladesh). This study accords equal importance to both the demand and supply perspectives of gastronomic tourism and its stakeholders.

Findings

Critical dimensions such as travel motivation, tourist expectations, socio-economic perspectives, mindful consumption, sustainable marketing efforts and community awareness were identified as major influencers towards traditional gastronomic delicacies.

Practical implications

The present study bears significance to the urban developers, policymakers, marketers, regional tourism bodies and tour operators in promoting urban gastronomic cultures through marketing traditional delicacies for sustainable development of the evolving gastronomic industry in India and Bangladesh.

Originality/value

This study makes a novel attempt in exploring critical dimensions in an evolving gastronomic industry by blending an innovative qualitative research methodology like GTA supported by the empirical validation process (quantitative). It proposes a theoretical framework for further advancement of gastronomic and urban tourism towards a SCP.

目的美食不仅能满足游客的需求,滋养积极的体验,还能提高游客对目的地文化、社会和环境属性的参与度。由于城市旅游正在接受可持续消费实践(SCP),本研究旨在探讨游客通过接受传统美食而采取的负责任行为。本研究采用了三角测量法,包括通过一系列焦点小组讨论获得的基础理论方法 (GTA),以及以新兴经济体(印度和孟加拉国)为视角的调查方法。研究结果旅游动机、游客期望、社会经济观点、注意消费、可持续营销努力和社区意识等关键因素被认为是影响传统美食的主要因素。本研究对城市开发商、政策制定者、营销人员、地区旅游机构和旅游经营者具有重要意义,他们可以通过营销传统美食来推广城市美食文化,从而促进印度和孟加拉国不断发展的美食产业的可持续发展。 原创性/价值 本研究通过将创新的定性研究方法(如 GTA)与经验验证过程(定量)相结合,在探索不断发展的美食产业的关键维度方面做出了新的尝试。它提出了一个理论框架,以进一步推动美食和城市旅游业朝着可持续消费和生产的方向发展。
