Intricate interactions among commensal bacteria, dietary substrates and immune responses are central to defining microbiome community composition, which plays a key role in preventing enteric pathogen infection, a dynamic phenomenon referred to as colonisation resistance. However, the impact of diet on sculpting microbiota membership, and ultimately colonisation resistance has been overlooked. Furthermore, pathogens have evolved strategies to evade colonisation resistance and outcompete commensal microbiota by using unique nutrient utilisation pathways, by exploiting microbial metabolites as nutrient sources or by environmental cues to induce virulence gene expression. In this review, we will discuss the interplay between diet, microbiota and their associated metabolites, and how these can contribute to or preclude pathogen survival.

ABSTRACT As nature attracts most travellers to Iceland, nature conservation is central in sustainable tourism development in the destination. A competent guide can turn a tour into an enjoyable, engaging and educational nature experience, whereas a less competent guide may simply execute the logistics of taking tourists from one point of interest to another. This is a mixed-method study where data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews and desk research. Our findings were that nature conservation was not a theme the guiding, informing and managing of tour groups observed. Nature conservation was not a topic present in the information tour companies supply the guides with, and it was not a prominent theme in the curricula of guide education. Guiding on nature phenomena consisted mainly of information about geology and geoformations. Guiding was mostly verbal, without much attention to experience design. Our conclusions are that more emphasis should be placed on facilitating experience and that an important opportunity for promoting tourism sustainability is missed as nature conservation is neglected. The implication is that these topics should be emphasized more in professional guide education, in the professional community of guides and by tour operators.

ABSTRACT Wilderness is an important resource for tourism but it is very sensitive to overuse. In order to maintain their attraction, wilderness destinations need to be planned and managed carefully. For that purpose, several models have been developed, one of which is the so-called purism scale model. It is used for segmenting visitors based on their preferences and attitudes towards wilderness destinations. Visitors are asked to rank particular items relating to the management and qualities of wilderness areas along a purism scale and are given a score describing their attitudes. A few studies have used quantitative methods with the aim of improving purism scales. The novelty of this study is adopting a qualitative approach to explore the practicality of purism scales for managing wilderness destinations. It is based on semi-structured interviews in a wilderness area in Iceland, Landmannalaugar, with the aim of investigating the reasoning that visitors have for ranking purism items. The results highlight which purism items are useful to divide visitors into different segments and which ones are not. The study identifies several aspects which question the practicality of purism scales, including differences in the perceived meaning of items and the perspective adopted when ranking the items.

ABSTRACT Drawing upon ethical climate theory and conservation of resource theory, this study provides a theoretical model to explain the effect of a perceived caring climate in the workplace on the employees’ turnover intention through the serial multiple mediation of workplace incivility (caused by coworkers) and employees’ emotional exhaustion. A total of 291 frontline employees from the service industry in Norway participated in this study, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data. The findings indicated that a caring climate has a significant negative effect on turnover intention. The mediating effect of coworker incivility was not supported in the multiple mediation model; however, it was supported if it was considered as the only mediator in the relationship between caring climate and turnover intention. Moreover, emotional exhaustion mediated the relationship between caring climate and turnover intention. The serial mediation effect of coworker incivility and emotional exhaustion was also supported in the relationship between caring climate and turnover intention. The results of this study enable managers to create a caring climate in the workplace and minimize the detrimental effects of incivility and turnover intention in the service industry.

ABSTRACT This paper elucidates, does revenue per available room respond asymmetrically to the occupancy rate? The two-step nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag model is used on a Swedish dataset with monthly observations spreading over March 2008 to February 2020 to address this research question. Results of empirical analysis offer corroborative evidence that revenue per available room is asymmetrically related to the occupancy rate. Our results show that revenue per available room responds marginally more strongly to a decrease in occupancy rate than to the rise in occupancy rate. The paper ends with plausible implications for effective revenue management.

ABSTRACT This study’s purpose is to conceptualise the relationship between resilience and sustainability from a learning perspective. It asks how a community’s first reactions to a crisis can indicate the possible future development of a destination’s sustainability, and examines the resilience properties of elasticity, hysteresis and malleability in relation to single- and multiple-loop learning. Empirically, this study explores public discussions about tourism in northern Norway immediately before, and during the first months of, the COVID-19 crisis. Such discussions are investigated through a qualitative content analysis of articles from the regional newspaper. The findings identify a variety of perspectives among the participants to the discussions reported in the newspaper, including the coexistence of different views on tourism and sustainability and on responses to a crisis. This study frames the discussions in terms of elastic, hysteretic and malleable reactions, and illustrates three learning paths towards alternative weak and strong sustainable futures in a conceptual model. The originality of this study concerns a conceptualisation of the resilience – sustainability relationship as a set of learning paths that emphasises the dynamic and non-deterministic aspects of tourism development, aiming to evoke a sense of both responsibility and empowerment.

ABSTRACT Young people have rarely been studied in the field of second-home research as active subjects, although they play an influential part in contemporary second-home tourism. Based on semi-structured interviews, this study seeks to address the scholarly gap in the existing literature by analysing the experiences of, and attitudes towards, second-home living among 12- to 17-year-old second-home dwellers vacationing in Mäntyharju, Finland. The study focuses on the second-home environment as a hybrid space enabling young cottagers to combine elements of a traditionalist lifestyle, outdoor recreation, and late modern technoscape in pursuit of pleasurable and restorative leisure. The findings suggest that young second-home dwellers see outdoor activities and rich natural surroundings, as well as intense familial communality and selected aspects of simple living, as the basis of an enjoyable second-home experience. At the same time, they complement these elements with the active use of mobile and entertainment technology, seeking a satisfying balance between the exotic and the ordinary. The results show that studying young second-home dwellers offers fresh new perspectives not only on second-home tourism and its ongoing changes but also on the leisure preferences of late modern youth in general.

ABSTRACT The shifting nature of backpacking and its increasing heterogeneity hinder attempts at deeper understandings required to keep pace with this dynamic phenomenon. The aim of this paper is to understand what is distinctive about the backpacker experience via a review of the backpacker literature and outline an agenda for future research. The unique contribution of the review is the insight into the backpacker experience, characterised by the pursuit of existential authenticity and freedom and manifested through social interactions within the backpacker culture. The review provided a meta-perspective of backpacking in which the search for experiences enabling existential authenticity and freedom remain consistent despite significant demographic, social, cultural and behavioural variation among backpackers. This relationship with experiences distinguishes backpacking from other forms of tourism. The paper highlights backpacker understandings of freedom to mean being free of temporal, spatial and social limitations imposed by their home societies. Backpackers experienced existential authenticity as involvement in the pursuit of self-development and self-identity. Heidegger’s “spielraum” (“playspace”) was applied to explain the ability of backpackers to experience this authenticity and to engage with the “other” including other backpackers in a safe manner.

ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to explore the sustainability values that tourism companies communicate to stakeholders. The following two research questions are addressed: What sustainability value (economic, social, or environmental) do tourism companies focus on and communicate in their sustainability information? Do different types of tourism companies provide different sustainability communications to stakeholders to gain legitimacy? A case study was conducted of 30 Swedish-based tourism companies. Written documents that were available online concerning sustainability information from these companies were analysed using the GRI model. The results show that tourism companies work to create value with the help of sustainability. The results also indicate that the context and prerequisites for each type of tourism company govern what they work with in order to meet the demands of stakeholders. The study's theoretical contribution is that sustainability communication to stakeholders can be of value to tourism companies. Its practical contribution is that, in addition to pursuing sustainability, tourism companies should communicate their sustainability work to their stakeholders in order to create value.

This special issue collects research on how actors in the tourism and hospitality supply chain can be encouraged towards sustainable behaviour by connecting to their values. In line with Schwartz’s (2012) value theory, values are interpreted as guiding principles in life. Recognising the need for a coordinated effort among different constituencies in the transition toward a more sustainable future, the call was not limited to actors at the organisational level but wished to include those at the societal level, such as policy makers, and at the individual level, such as tourists and guests (Cavagnaro & Curiel, 2012), as well. The tourism and hospitality sector’s future greatly depends on its capacity to meet a growing demand without increasing its environmental footprint or its pressure on the destination communities (UNWTO and UNDP, 2017). In other words, tourism needs to develop sustainably. Although the debate about what sustainable development means is still ongoing, there is increasing consensus that it requires value creation on a social, environmental, and economic dimension. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) represent the most recent operationalisation of sustainable development. The SDGs were established by the United Nations in 2015 as a new global sustainable development agenda for 2030. Gradually but steadily, the UNSDGs have since been embraced by governments and organisations alike and have become the reference point for all actors in the sustainability discourse. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted on the achievement of the UNSDGs and has dramatically highlighted the need for a global coordinated effort (UNWTO, 2018). Considering the impact that tourism and hospitality have on both the socio-economic and the environmental aspects of sustainability, it is no surprise that each of the 17 UNSDGs can be related to the sector. Pre-COVID tourism, for example, accounted for 8 to 12% of worldwide carbon emissions (UNWTO, 2018). Most emissions were related to transport and the goods used in the service, particularly food. Tourism and hospitality, therefore, have a direct impact on goals 12 (sustainable consumption) and 13 (climate change). Providers and consumers have the option of choosing forms of transport with a smaller carbon footprint and goods that are both healthy for people and for the planet. It is also hoped that tourism’s post-pandemic recovery will see a change towards local tourism (thus reducing long-haul flights) and an increased focus on the well-being of people at the destination (Tomassini & Cavagnaro, 2020). Changes of such a magnitude, however, do not happen automatically, but must be purposively designed and managed. The aim of this special issue is to highlight the fact that it is essential to include tools in the design process that encourage people to show more sustainable behaviour, and to support them in doing so. The UNSDGs clearly encompass environmental, social and economic goal

Although the debate about what sustainable development means is still ongoing, there is increasing consensus that it requires value creation on a social, environmental, and economic dimension. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) represent the most recent operationalisation of sustainable development. The SDGs were established by the United Nations in 2015 as a new global sustainable development agenda for 2030. Gradually but steadily, the UNSDGs have since been embraced by governments and organisations alike and have become the reference point for all actors in the sustainability discourse. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted on the achievement of the UNSDGs and has dramatically highlighted the need for a global coordinated effort (UNWTO, 2018). Considering the impact that tourism and hospitality have on both the socio-economic and the environmental aspects of sustainability, it is no surprise that each of the 17 UNSDGs can be related to the sector. Pre-COVID tourism, for example, accounted for 8 to 12% of worldwide carbon emissions (UNWTO, 2018). Most emissions were related to transport and the goods used in the service, particularly food. Tourism and hospitality, therefore, have a direct impact on goals 12 (sustainable consumption) and 13 (climate change). Providers and consumers have the option of choosing forms of transport with a smaller carbon footprint and goods that are both healthy for people and for the planet. It is also hoped that tourism’s post-pandemic recovery will see a change towards local tourism (thus reducing long-haul flights) and an increased focus on the well-being of people at the destination (Tomassini & Cavagnaro, 2020). Changes of such a magnitude, however, do not happen automatically, but must be purposively designed and managed. The aim of this special issue is to highlight the fact that it is essential to include tools in the design process that encourage people to show more sustainable behaviour, and to support them in doing so.
