ABSTRACT Visitor dispersal is critical in spreading tourism benefits to peripheral regions, with imbalances of visitors a problem for many tourism organisations that warrants better tools for analysis. Gini decomposition of the length of stay and expenditures was used to measure visitor dispersal based on survey data of international visitors (n = 819) departing from Brisbane International Airport. Biplot visualisation and stacked contribution bar charts revealed multiple dimensions of visitor traits influencing dispersal across eight subregions in Queensland and their complex offsetting or compounding dispersion/concentration effects. Our results suggest that including expenditure provides a more comprehensive understanding of dispersal, highlighting “high spend, short stay” visitors.

ABSTRACT Industrial tourism has achieved great development. The diversification of tourism demand has led to higher requirements for the innovation of industrial tourism products. Based on theory of tourists’ spatial–temporal behavior and experience economy, this study takes Shanghai M50 park to study the impact of gamification innovation of industrial tourism products. There are few studies on tourists’ internal response and external behavior response. This study confirms for the first time that gamification innovation can extend the travel time and travel distance, improve the travel experience, and enhance tourists’ willingness to revisit and recommend. This study shows gamification innovation improves tourists’ experience.

ABSTRACT Rural summer health tourism for the urban elderly (RSHTUE) is developing in China. RSHTUE tourists are predominantly urban elderly who stay in the countryside for a long time during the summer. This study first obtained the initial dimensions and item lists of the RSHTUE tourist well-being scale from the literature and interview data. Then, the expert panel method was applied to determine the initial scale. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted to obtain an 8D 28-item RSHTUE tourist well-being scale. This scale can be used to support subsequent theoretical studies and guide the RSHTUE's development practice.

ABSTRACT This study examined the relationship between the characteristics of YouTube tourism content and user satisfaction. In addition, this study investigated the effect of user satisfaction on intention to visit and share information with the moderating role of word-of-mouth information acceptance. Data from 244 viewers of YouTube tourism content was analyzed and it was found that two dimensions of the characteristics of YouTube, such as usefulness and fun had a positive effect on user satisfaction. Furthermore, user satisfaction had a positive impact on intention to visit and share information, and intention to visit had a positive impact on intention to share information. Finally, word-of-mouth information acceptance played a moderating role in the relationship between user satisfaction and intention to share information.

ABSTRACT This study examines the dynamic between organisational culture and effectiveness within World-Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) Australia as a case study in ecotourism. It extends current understanding of the intricate relationships among key stakeholders within ecotourism. Taking the interpretivist approach where reality is a composite of multiple perspectives, qualitative data was collected from a sample of 22 key stakeholders in WWOOF Australia through semi-structured interviews. The results indicate that WWOOF Australia operates using a clan culture and that this cultural typology generates efficacious outcomes for all stakeholders to differing degrees while simultaneously enabling environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive operations. The study findings make theoretical contributions to better understand the complex dynamics of relationships between key stakeholders in a non-traditional organisational culture, and practical implications for the successful operation of ecotourism.

ABSTRACT Recent studies found that tourism can mitigate the shadow economy, but its effectiveness in a specific country remains uncertain. To fill the research gap, this study investigates the relationship between tourism and the shadow economy in China based on province level data for 2000-2016. The results reveal that the shadow economy will be adversely affected by tourism. Moreover, regional heterogeneity analysis indicates that in central and western regions of China, tourism is more effective in suppressing shadow activities. The findings contribute to a policy reference for mitigating the shadow economy and regulating tourism development.

ABSTRACT This research attempts to identify the determinants and impacts of performance on small tourism entrepreneurs’ quality of life and tourism attitudes. Consistent three-year data were collected from 198, 191, and 194 small tourism entrepreneurs in Global Geopark Yuntai Mountain, China. The results found that either entrepreneur characteristics, including business skills, locus of control, autonomy, social relations, and autonomy, or enterprise characteristics, featuring innovation, management, and policy intervention, significantly contribute to entrepreneurial performance. The model also suggests that entrepreneurial performance significantly affects QOL rather than attitudes toward tourism. Implications can be applied for policymakers to promote tourism sustainability for destinations.

ABSTRACT The relationships among inhabitants’ place image dimensions, perceived tourism impacts, quality of life, and support for sustainable tourism development were examined using a model designed for this study. The results indicate that all four place image dimensions significantly influenced perceived positive tourism impacts. None of the place image dimensions had a significant effect on perceived negative impacts. Residents’ quality of life partially mediated the relationship between perceived positive impacts and residents’ support for sustainable tourism development. Further, it is explained how planning and development initiatives for tourism might be formed theoretically and practically.

ABSTRACT Pro-Poor Tourism (PPT) is an approach to alleviate absolute poverty and has two perspectives: increasing the profit allocation to the poor and expanding the profit itself. This study focuses on the latter and investigates factors to increase people’s intention to participate in PPT. However, the participating intention was interpreted based on donation intention to absolute poverty, a global prosocial behavior, because PPT has low social recognition. The structural equation modeling suggested that donation intention was affected by Empathic Concern (EC) and Social Norms (SN). However, the donation is an actual behavior, but PPT is a concept. Therefore, the study indicated embodying the concept as products to stimulate tourists’ EC, such as optional tours which distribute preferential benefits to the poor. On the other hand, for social norms to function, the study also indicated that consensus needs to cultivate that PPT effectively alleviates absolute poverty, a global issue.

ABSTRACT Using construal level theory as a theoretical framework, this study aims to understand how online travel agencies’ logo design, a combination of shapes and colors, influences consumers’ purchasing intentions using behavioral and neuroscientific data. Three studies are conducted to obtain behavioral and neuroscientific data for analysis. The results of these three studies show that the relationship between logo design and the destination product can be managed by framing consumers’ construal level. Further, evidence of the natural mindset congruency effect and consumers’ brainwave activities while reflecting on the logo design is provided.
