ABSTRACT COVID-19 may have left scars and negatives on our society, environment and industries. However, it can’t be denied silver linings emerged and may be a much-needed paradigm shift academia has been lacking. This case study utilized feedback from university students enrolled in a course new to the synchronous format. It revealed students’ perceived benefits of synchronous learning environments to include mental health benefits, flexibility, positive academic performance and more. The findings showcase elements for successful online learning vs remote learning and suggest a sector of university students have found positive benefits in these changing academic times.

ABSTRACT Given the growing importance of social media (SM) for tourism promotions, the present study examined a destination image model that includes SM as image formation agents (IFAs) (autonomous, induced, and organic), cognitive image (attractions and support), affective image, and social distance as a moderator, grounded in construal level theory. With the sample of tourists (N = 699), structural equation modeling revealed that each IFA group had different patterns of effects in shaping cognitive image, which in turn influenced affective image. Latent moderated structural equation modeling analysis showed that social distance had a negative interacting effect with each of the IFA groups in forming the attractions image, highlighting the significant moderating role of social distance in the process. This study enriches an understanding on the crucial roles of IFAs and social distance in the image formation process within the SM context.

ABSTRACT This case study demonstrates the successful application of online learning theories and principles during the COVID-19 pandemic which was the world’s largest experiment in remote learning. It examines the challenges, opportunities, and constraints to effective teaching and learning during this unprecedented time from the perspective of the educators and students, as well as the lessons learned. The case study is of a Tourism Management course that necessarily had to be taught asynchronously in 21 countries representing 10 different time zones. The primary Civic Competency assignment formerly designed locally had to pivot to being completed globally due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The case study illustrates the importance of innovation, resilience, risk-taking, and supporting resources in navigating a crisis and the opportunity to increase the global awareness of students.

ABSTRACT This article presents a qualitative phenomenological study designed to explore Black consumer behavior, namely motivation to visit a contemporary dark tourism site in urban America. This aspect of Black consumer behavior was examined to fill a gap in the literature regarding what motivates Black people to visit places where death and suffering have famously occurred, especially in contemporary contexts. This project was significant because it better explained an under-represented aspect of dark tourism, namely the Black dark tourism experience which has largely been unaddressed. Theme analysis and multiple in-depth interviews were conducted to execute the study’s phenomenological design. The results of the study suggested that Blacks who partake in dark tourism at sites with contemporary significance to the community are motivated to do so by a desire to share, to pay respects, and to better understand issues currently affecting the community.

ABSTRACT With the rapid development of internet finance, building a “tourism + finance” ecosystem is gradually becoming a theme of reform in the tourism industry. In this study, the technology acceptance model (TAM) is used to explore which factors, in addition to perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, influence consumers’ intentions to purchase tourism financial products. The study conducts a questionnaire survey including basic questions and a Likert scale with 19 indicators covering 5 dimensions. The results are drawn from a structural equation model that supports five out of six proposed hypotheses. The findings suggest that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, trust, and perceived risk significantly influence purchase intentions. Additionally, perceived ease of use has a significant impact on perceived usefulness. Suggestions regarding future tourism financial products development are made, and the study’s limitations are discussed.

ABSTRACT This case study aims to provide higher education instructors a template to design service-learning courses that wish to not only further transformative pedagogy in tourism education, but also inform the development of students’ self-efficacy in critically examining social equity and justice at a personal and community level. The case illustrates transformative field experiences, both in person and virtual, in two undergraduate courses at two separate universities in the Southeast United States of America. Each course included a project consisting of collaboration with a local community partner to further the education, development, marketing, and promotion of African American and Black heritage tourism in their respective communities.

ABSTRACT This case study illustrates the challenges and strategies adopted by the instructor and the Tour Dure producer in designing a tourism geography service-learning course during the COVID-19 pandemic. It focuses on a teaching experience in a course titled “Tourism Place Management Project” which involved collaboration with Tour Dure businesses in Goesan County of South Korea. In so doing, the initial course objectives and the activities based on the experiential learning theory adopted for the course are illustrated. Then challenges and the adjusted measures to cope with the pandemic are explained. The main challenges were caused by limited opportunities for offline activities including fieldwork and the students’ group meetings. Strategies adopted to cope with the challenges included providing small-group sessions for the students, including the fieldwork and online sessions with the instructor and the Tour Dure producer. Also, the instructor, the Tour Dure producer, the businesses, and the students were encouraged to share diverse materials among themselves. As a result, the students acknowledged the importance of the service-learning experience despite the limitations caused by the pandemic. This case study provides implications on how service-learning can be conducted when offline learning experiences are limited.

ABSTRACT This paper investigates the key elements of a rural idyll constructed collaboratively by YouTube influencer Li Ziqi and her global audience in order to provide insights on how the imaginaries of a virtual destination help viewers to experience a rural idyll through watching YouTube videos and its implications for rural tourism. We employed grounded theory analysis in analyzing viewer comments to identify several groups of themes that are linked to the theories of Shi Wai Tao Yuan and rural idyll. The paper discusses a rural idyll constructed online and its potential for developing the current system of rural tourism management.

ABSTRACT The levels of complexity and the changing environment in which the tourism industry operates, require critical and reflective tourism practitioners. Consequently, and considering the need for students to develop analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, this article explores the research experiences of undergraduate students, focusing on the process of developing an independent, inquiry-based project. This paper describes a research project developed by two classes of undergraduate students majoring in tourism, providing an overview of the implementation of the project and of students’ perceptions on this experience. Results suggest that adopting a research-based learning approach promotes students’ engagement with research practices and increases intellectual capacity, which may prove useful to other tourism educators in developing competence-based courses.

ABSTRACT Several studies suggest that graduates lack the critical thinking skills required for problem-solving and effective financial decision-making in the hospitality industry. Since higher education may not be able to meet all the demands and needs of the hospitality industry; such institutions struggle to provide students with the necessary critical thinking skills. Authentic assessment is one possible strategy, which is recognized, to develop critical thinking skills amongst hospitality graduates. Hence, the purpose of this research is to explore to what extent authentic assessment enables critical thinking skills amongst first-year students in hospitality financial management. This article employed a qualitative case study research design within an interpretative lens. Twenty-four, first-year, hospitality financial management students, were purposively engaged in online reflections and semi-structured interviews. The findings of the study presented three themes that resonate with the critical thinking frameworks.
