ABSTRACTThis study investigates how tourists engage with heritage at contemporary experiential sites that have become popular amongst visitors and vital ambassadors of a destination’s heritage. Grounded in the theoretical concept of engagement from an andragogical standpoint, the study utilizes and critically examines reviews from a specific interactive and technologically- advanced whisky experience in Edinburgh, Scotland, namely the Scotch Whisky Experience. Findings expose strong heritage appreciation among visitors, yet challenges exist in engagement despite the optimization of sine qua non human and technologically advanced means. A conceptual diagram of heritage engagement for academic and tourism stakeholders’ consideration is provided, re-enforcing its applicability in contexts beyond the heritage sphere.

Small-scale heritage towns usually face fierce competition from surrounding destinations, particularly in peripheral rural areas where tourism holds important possibilities for regional development. This study examines on-site smart tourism technology as a tool to increase attractiveness and differentiation of heritage destinations using examples of Hungarian destinations. The research seeks to answer the question whether a small-scale heritage destination can become a more attractive destination due to technology from the perspective of potential tourists. The paper analyzes quantitative data collected from 537 potential tourists. Principal component analysis was used to identify the factors considering attractive and differential on-site technologies. A regression model was created to examine how these factors affect the potential tourist's decision-making: whether heritage towns with smart on-site tools are too similar to towns that do not use such technologies. Three factors of on-site technologies have been identified: digital sightseeing, smart attractions, and smart infrastructure. According to the regression model, digital sightseeing is the key pull factor, but smart attractions and smart infrastructure also have a positive effect in small towns. The study presents the first empirical research on the effect of smart technology on positioning small-size heritage towns based on demand-side research.

ABSTRACTA UNESCO World Heritage site designation is seen as a pathway to developing sustainable tourism and increasing opportunities to receive funding for the maintenance and management of the site. However, the designation of sites is often highly political with criticisms raised regarding the processes used by UNESCO. The inflexibility of selection criteria and the demand for tangible evidence of authenticity are inevitably jeopardising the selection of important heritage sites that need to be preserved. Outsider interference, distortion of historical facts, staging, and the Disneyfication of heritage are other contentions raised over how applications are manipulated to achieve a UNESCO designation. Through a qualitative narrative analysis and site visits, this paper examines the case of Hidden Christian Sites in the Nagasaki Region of Japan to examine how the intervention of ICOMOS significantly altered its application for World Heritage site designation and the resulting challenges the applicants faced in satisfying the selection criteria, thereby staging their heritage for tourism in the process. Greater recognition of local voices and alternative narratives is critical in the designation process to be true to history in an age dominated by heritage.KEYWORDS: UNESCO World Heritage sitesICOMOSNagasaki Hidden ChristiandistortionDisneyficationtourism Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsAtsuko HashimotoAtsuko Hashimoto is Professor in the Department of Geography and Tourism Studies at Brock University, Canada.

联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录被视为发展可持续旅游业和增加获得维护和管理遗产资金机会的途径。然而，指定遗产地往往具有高度的政治性，对教科文组织使用的程序提出了批评。选择标准的缺乏灵活性和对实物证据真实性的要求不可避免地危及需要保护的重要遗产的选择。外界的干涉、历史事实的歪曲、表演和遗产的迪斯尼化是关于如何操纵申请以获得联合国教科文组织指定的其他争议。本文通过定性叙事分析和实地考察，以日本长崎地区的隐藏基督教遗址为例，研究ICOMOS的干预如何显著改变了其申请世界遗产的申请，以及申请人在满足选择标准方面面临的挑战，从而在此过程中将其遗产用于旅游。在一个以遗产为主导的时代，在指定过程中，对当地声音和另类叙述的更多认可是忠于历史的关键。关键词:联合国教科文组织世界遗产地、icomosnasaki隐藏的基督教扭曲、迪斯尼化、旅游披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。本文作者桥本敦子是加拿大布鲁克大学地理与旅游研究系的教授。她的研究领域包括日本农村的绿色旅游、旅游中的社会文化问题、烹饪旅游、遗产旅游和旅游中的社会正义。David J.

This paper proposes the rising popularity of paranormal investigations on YouTube as a new form of armchair travel, namely virtual dark tourism. To support this discovery, this study gathered statistics on this new genre of virtual dark tourism on YouTube; uncovered the most common types of dark tourism sites visited by paranormal investigators; and details the typical paranormal investigation genre conventions in the method of storytelling used on Sam and Colby's (2014, YouTube [YouTube Channel]. YouTube. Retrieved 31 March 2023 https://www.youtube.com/c/samandcolby/about) which arguably led to its high-level of success on YouTube. The study highlights some of the dangers, risks, and ethical considerations for future tour guides and researchers for this type of dark tourism. It also summarises the methods of income generated by YouTubers conducting paranormal investigation tours, which can be informative for future businesses and content creators. This study was investigated using digital ethnography, and distant and close reading of 60 YouTube channels which focus specifically on the niche of paranormal investigations (i.e. ghost hunting).

Host-tourist interaction is a core attraction of ethnic tourism. Yet both parties may confront challenges in such interactions because of different cultural backgrounds. This study aims to investigate host-tourist interaction issues in Vietnam’s Central Highlands by adopting a qualitative approach wherein 31 semi-structured interviews were conducted with villagers. Results find that villagers interacted with domestic tourists mostly in private houses, tourist attractions and facilities, and on tours. In such settings, the content of interactions varied from low to high intensity. Derived from the Coordinated Management of Meaning (CMM) theory [Pearce, W. B., & Cronen, V. E. (1980). Communication action and meaning. Praeger], verbal (language) and non-verbal behaviour and cultural patterns were the greatest interaction difficulties. While interaction difficulties occurred across different settings, higher intensity interactions resulted in more positive outcomes. This study enriches the existing knowledge on interaction between ethnic hosts and domestic tourists in the intra-national context. The interpretive theoretical and methodological utility of CMM provided insight into interaction difficulties, and opportunities to facilitate positive interactions in ethnic tourism development. Further implications for villagers, tourists, local policymakers, and tour operators were suggested to build long-term sustainability of the host-tourist relationship in the Central Highlands.
主客互动是民族旅游的核心吸引力。然而，由于文化背景的不同，双方在这种互动中都可能面临挑战。本研究旨在通过采用定性方法调查越南中部高地的主人-游客互动问题，其中与村民进行了31次半结构化访谈。结果发现，村民与国内游客的互动主要集中在私人住宅、旅游景点和设施以及旅游中。在这种情况下，相互作用的内容从低强度到高强度不等。源自意义协调管理(CMM)理论[Pearce, W. B.， & Cronen, V. E.(1980)]。沟通的行动和意义。，语言(语言)和非语言行为以及文化模式是最大的互动困难。虽然互动困难发生在不同的环境中，但高强度的互动会产生更积极的结果。本研究丰富了国内背景下民族东道主与国内游客互动的现有知识。CMM的解释性理论和方法论效用提供了对互动困难的洞察，以及促进民族旅游发展中积极互动的机会。对村民、游客、当地政策制定者和旅游经营者的进一步建议是在中部高地建立长期可持续的东道主-游客关系。

ABSTRACTThis study aims to examine the interplay between heritage tourists’ experiences and their emotional responses, and to identify the mediating effect of Memorable Tourism Experiences (MTE), drawing upon the stimulus–organism–response (SOR) theory. The study was conducted in Pingyao, a UNESCO-listed heritage city. Employing a convergent concurrent mixed-methods approach, this study combines quantitative (questionnaire) and qualitative (interview) methods to collect data. The results identified the positive effects of authenticity, nostalgia, and sacredness on MTE. Additionally, the study demonstrated that under the mediating effect of MTE, authenticity, nostalgia, and sacredness directly and indirectly affect subjective well-being and destination image. Although the direct impact of sacredness on destination image has not been definitively identified, the indirect impact mediated by MTE is positive and significant. This paper contributes to the research on tourist emotions and offers practical suggestions for the development of cultural heritage sites.KEYWORDS: Cultural heritage tourismmemorable tourism experiences (MTE)subjective well-beingdestination imagedestination experience Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsS.

Employing a convergent concurrent mixed-methods approach, this study combines quantitative (questionnaire) and qualitative (interview) methods to collect data. The results identified the positive effects of authenticity, nostalgia, and sacredness on MTE. Additionally, the study demonstrated that under the mediating effect of MTE, authenticity, nostalgia, and sacredness directly and indirectly affect subjective well-being and destination image. Although the direct impact of sacredness on destination image has not been definitively identified, the indirect impact mediated by MTE is positive and significant. This paper contributes to the research on tourist emotions and offers practical suggestions for the development of cultural heritage sites.KEYWORDS: Cultural heritage tourismmemorable tourism experiences (MTE)subjective well-beingdestination imagedestination experience Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsS.
