ABSTRACT This study attempts to explore the impact of the visual similarity between domestic lookalike attractions (DLA) and foreign famous attractions (FFA) and the spillover effect of DLA that is, how visual similarity enhances tourists’ travel intention. This study also uses novelty categorization theory and construal level theory to explore the mediating roles of curiosity and psychological distance. The results of the two quantitative studies show that regardless of how visual similarity is communicated between DLA and FFA – by text or by picture – they both enhance tourists’ travel intention toward the DLA through the mediating effects of curiosity and psychological distance.

ABSTRACT This paper explores tourists’ perceptions of English as a lingua franca (ELF) to understand the ELF phenomenon in tourist destinations by analyzing in-depth interviews with 15 Korean tourists from a phenomenological approach. The findings show that participants had awareness of the growing role of ELF in tourism and perceived English use in destinations as an opportunity for selfdevelopment and the index of social development while the dominance of English was recognized as unequal linguistic power relations such as linguistic imperialism. This study provides implications for tourist destination management and marketing on language-related issues to satisfy and attract more tourists.

ABSTRACT The topic of tourism and climate change is a highly promising area. This paper attempts to review the relevant research and identify prospective opportunities. On the basis of 1,274 records in the Web of Science from 1998–2021, this paper develops visual maps of co-authorship networks and strategic diagrams using VOSviewer and SciMAT. Results indicate that the cooperation among different authors has accelerated the knowledge output. Panel data, ski tourism, outdoor recreation, national parks, pro-environmental behavior, and error correction are the current research priorities. On the basis of the strategic diagrams, the paper discovers future research trends.

ABSTRACT By collecting the daily visit data of each 5A scenic spot in China from January 1 to March 31, 2020, this paper adopted a two-way fixed-effects model to calibrate the effects of government restriction and risk perception during the pandemic. Results show that a 1% increase in government restriction level led to a 0.806% decrease in daily tourist attraction demand, while a 1% rise in individuals’ risk perception resulted in a 0.084% decline. The extent of these declines moderated by factors such as GDP, population density, urbanization rate, and attraction type. The implications of these findings are discussed.

ABSTRACT Tourist scams have long been a challenge for tourist security and destination management. Understanding the tourist decision-making process can improve scam prevention. Through a quasi-experiment, 609 participants made, and documented reasons for, decisions after viewing animated scam videos. Thematic analysis was conducted to explore the external (operational) cues and internal (respondent-related) references, and revealed two categories of cues, namely scam-covering and scam-revealing cues. Three internal references—emotions, knowledge and needs—exerted a crucial impact. Multiple heuristics strategies were identified, and a model was made to illustrate the decision-making process. Theoretic and pragmatic implications are discussed for communicating scam detection.

ABSTRACT This study explores the mechanism of visual attention attraction effect of profile pictures on the review helpfulness. Firstly, it proposes two detailed influence mechanisms of visual attention in the tourism context to sharpen the theory of selective exposure and visual selective attention. Secondly, it identifies a new factor influencing the helpfulness of tourism reviews. Thirdly, this research presents insights regarding the heterogeneous impact of different profile pictures. The findings of this study provide an effective method to make the reviews more attractive and helpful. Our research provides implications for various groups in the tourism industry.

ABSTRACT This study examines six antecedent constructs affecting potential Australian tourists’ destination image of Fiji. Data were collected from 416 respondents and analysed using covariance-based structural equation modelling. Results revealed that five constructs – impressions of Fiji, trust in the Fijian government, crisis management, solidarity, and COVID-19 mitigation practices – were positively associated with respondents’ cognitive and affective destination image formation. Xenophobia also moderates the positive association between cognitive and conative images. These findings contribute theoretically to understanding salient constructs contributing to destination image formation amidst the pandemic. Study insights will be useful to practitioners in developing effective marketing strategies and tourism recovery.

ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of tourists' perceived COVID-19-induced discrimination on negative emotional responses and identity management strategies. Data were collected from 431 Fijians who had recently travelled internationally. Covariance-based structural equation modelling analysis revealed that perceived COVID-19-induced discrimination significantly explained two negative emotional responses—anger and disappointment. Anger positively affected identity management strategies, revealing and avoidance, while disappointment positively affected passing and avoidance. The model explained the following variances: revealing (51%); passing (48%); and avoidance (42%). This study contributes to understanding post-pandemic travel behaviour related to COVID-19-induced discrimination against tourists and better management in response to the pandemic.

ABSTRACT This paper proposes a network analysis framework for rural tourism flows based on the digital footprint data of Ctrip visitors, and studies network the spatial characteristics and spatial development patterns of rural tourism flows. Research results show the following: (1)rural tourism flow is characterized by large-scale flows between nodes with superior resource endowment conditions and convenient transportation. (2) The overall network structure of rural tourism flow has a low density, and the centrality of rural tourism nodes has an obvious hierarchical structure, and obvious structural hole phenomenon. (3) Rural tourism flow has a significant core-edge structure. (4) The internal space of rural tourism flow exists in several modes, such as core node development, axis development “along traffic arteries” and domain development “clustering groups.” This study addresses the regional imbalance of rural tourism resources and with the intent of boosting the high-quality development of rural tourism destinations.

ABSTRACT Based on two experimental studies, this paper explores the effect of different types of destination social responsibility on tourists’ pro-environmental behavior. In our theoretical framework, we test the mediating effect of place identity and the moderating effect of nature empathy. The results show that: (1) active destination social responsibility exerts greater power to stimulate tourists’ pro-environmental behavior; (2) place identity plays a mediating role between destination social responsibility and pro-environmental behavior; (3) nature empathy positively moderates the impact of destination social responsibility on place identity, but does not moderate the impact of destination social responsibility on pro-environmental behavior.
