ABSTRACTMemorial spaces have received increasing attention as dark tourism destinations over the last two decades. Based on the stimulus-organism-response theory and the theory of planned behavior, this study proposes a model to measure the influence of environmental stimuli on tourists’ behavioral intentions regarding memorial spaces. It also examines the mediating roles of behavioral attitudes, subjective norms, perceptual (perceived) behavioral control, and affective responses. The results show that environmental stimuli have a direct and indirect effect on tourists’ behavioral intentions through the four individual state dimensions, providing both theoretical and practical implications for memorial space design and dark tourism marketing.KEYWORDS: Dark tourismmemorial spacesbehavioral intentionsenvironmental stimulistimulus-organism-response theorytheory of planned behavior Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the National Social Science Fund of China under Grant [number 20BG127]; the National Museum of China under Grant [number GBKX2021Z10]; and Jiangsu Province University Philosophy Social Science Fund under Grant [number 2022SJYB1842].

ABSTRACTThis study aimed to bring self-congruity theory into film tourism and examine how film tourists’ self-congruity with three film elements (celebrities, film plot, and destination) affects their film tourism experience, satisfaction, and word-of-mouth. The survey results from 334 Chinese film tourists in Macao indicated that celebrity-tourist congruence, film-tourist congruence, and destination-tourist congruence have different levels of impact on the three dimensions of the film tourism experience, which further influence tourists’ satisfaction and word-of-mouth intention. This study revealed the influence mechanism of film elements on the film tourism experience. It provides implications for destination marketers to promote film tourism.KEYWORDS: Film tourismself-congruityfilm tourism experiencesatisfactionword-of-mouth Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACTTo empirically examine the influencing mechanism and boundary conditions of tourism recovery experiences on knowledge workers' creativity, 837 valid samples were used. The results show that: (a) The tourism recovery experiences (compatibility, extent, away, fascination) could effectively stimulate the creativity of knowledge workers; (b) the perceived recovery level mediates the relationship between tourism recovery experiences and knowledge workers' creativity; (c) the travel companion intimacy has a positive moderating effect between compatibility, extent, away and perceived recovery level. The present research results provide another view of how knowledge workers' creativity is formed and expressed, but also provide practical guidance for “destination-tourist-enterprise government” to create value and achieve mutual benefit.KEYWORDS: Tourism recovery experiencesperceived recovery levelcreativitytravel companion intimacyknowledge workers Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis research was supported by the following agencies: Humanities and Social Science Foundation of Ministry of Education of China (grant number: 22YJC860003); 2022 project of Guangzhou Philosophy and Social Sciences Planning (grant number: 2022GZGJ80).

ABSTRACTThis study examines college youth travellers’ food choices using a market segmentation-based latent class modelling approach. A D-efficient stated-preference experiment was conducted in four Chinese cities, identifying two tourist market segments with different preferences. Key factors influencing food choices include cost, taste, waiting time, service responsiveness and noise levels. Elasticities, first differences and willingness-to-pay values are estimated, providing insights for effectively targeting the youth tourism market. Results suggest that improving service quality and reducing noise levels can significantly enhance food appeal, while higher quality yields marginal returns. These findings can assist tourism and catering agencies in devising efficient strategies to attract youth travellers.KEYWORDS: Food choice modellingyouth tourismdestination fooddiscrete choice experimentwillingness-to-payfirst difference Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACT Based on a series of film motivations, this research aims to identify different dimensions associated with film tourism and analyse how each of these dimensions influences loyalty towards a cinematographic destination, following factorial analysis method. Also, confirm authenticity’s existential or constructive influence on loyalty towards a film destination through software that uses the partial least squares methodology to test the hypotheses raised around the motivational dimensions and authenticity regarding loyalty towards a film destiny. The main results identify four motivational dimensions, a positive influence of experiential motivations on loyalty to a film destination, and the predominance of existential authenticity over constructivist authenticity in generating the same impact on loyalty. This work will allow public authorities and private companies managing film destinations to establish strategies that dynamise the area where the tourist activity takes place and increase the income of both the companies and the local community.

ABSTRACT As gender equity is crucial to tourism sustainability, this paper examines how tourism and other socioeconomic factors affect gender inequality in East Asia Pacific and South Asia countries. First, by dividing the countries into two regions, we could study the relationship between the variables for countries with different geographic locations and socioeconomic cultures and see how it varies. Second, it examines the nonlinear nexus of tourism growth and gender inequality by fitting curved lines for each quantile using a D-vine copula-based quantile regression approach which improved the accuracy of estimated relationships. Finally, the nonlinear analysis revealed that the relations between gender inequality and tourism is not unidirectional; it changes direction depending on the region's level of tourism development and socio-economic-geographic characteristics.

ABSTRACT This study explores how the fear of missing out (FOMO) affects the flow experience, festival satisfaction, and revisitation intention of attendees at a country music festival. Based on the cognitive appraisal theory, the study surveyed 317 participants and found that several factors contribute to the flow experience, which in turn impacts festival satisfaction and revisitation intention. The results reveal that participants with higher FOMO levels have a higher intention to revisit, with festival satisfaction mediating the relationship. This research repositions FOMO as the fear of missing out on the same event that individuals are attending. By highlighting this alternative understanding, the study suggests that FOMO can be leveraged as a resource for event organizers, potentially providing opportunities for engagement and enhancing attendee experiences. The proposed conceptual model and the insights gained from this research offer valuable contributions to the field and provide a foundation for further investigation and theoretical development.
摘要本研究探讨错过恐惧(fear of missing out, FOMO)对乡村音乐节参与者的心流体验、音乐节满意度和再访意向的影响。基于认知评价理论，本研究对317名参与者进行了调查，发现有几个因素影响着心流体验，而心流体验反过来又影响着节日满意度和重游意愿。结果显示，FOMO水平越高的被试有越高的重游意愿，节日满意度在其中起中介作用。这项研究将FOMO重新定位为害怕错过个人正在参加的同一事件。通过强调这种替代理解，研究表明FOMO可以作为活动组织者的一种资源，潜在地提供参与机会并增强与会者的体验。提出的概念模型和从本研究中获得的见解为该领域提供了宝贵的贡献，并为进一步的研究和理论发展奠定了基础。

ABSTRACT This study develops a theoretical model to investigate the impact of smart tourism technologies (STTs) on visitors' revisit intention using the stimulus-organism-response theory. Moreover, the moderating effects of technology readiness on the relationships among STTs, visitor engagement and memorable tourism experiences (MTEs) are further examined. The results revealed that visitor engagement and MTEs significantly mediate the relationship between STTs and visitors' revisit intention. Moreover, negative technology readiness negatively moderates the relationship between STTs and visitor engagement. The findings suggest that to enhance tourists' MTEs and revisit rate, destination marketers should reduce travelers' discomfort with and insecurity about STTs.

ABSTRACT The study of public transport and tourism, especially domestic tourism, is relatively under-researched, particularly in relation to emerging transport technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), and environmental, social, and governance (ESG). To bridge this gap, an integrated research model is created and tested with ESG, air quality, climate change, and AI, applying multi-analysis methods of partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM), multi-group analysis (MGA), and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) in an Asian context. The three methods provide a well-rounded perspective of the factors that influence tourists’ public transport use. Symmetric methods of SEM and MGA identifies key variables and their relationships, while the fsQCA reveals complex combinations of conditions. Results reveal that environmental and social ESG as well as climate change mitigation and sustainable mobility are significant for use of public transport by domestic tourists. High and low AI knowledge groups also have distinctive public transport use characteristics.

ABSTRACT Drawing on the appraisal theory of emotions and based on an online Qualtrics survey conducted among members of the Australian consumer panel (n = 357), this study examined destination equity considering the changing travel preferences in the post COVID-19 pandemic era. The findings empirically support that in addition to conventional destination equity drivers, tourists in the post-pandemic era consider the internal environment when deciding on a travel destination. Peace of mind was identified as a key manoeuvring factor influencing tourists’ behaviours such as higher payment and share-of-wallet. Theoretical and managerial implications of the findings are presented.
