This study employs spatial analysis to thoroughly examine the spatial distribution of shared accommodations within urban locales and their impact on the housing market. Specifically, it explores the multifaceted influence of shared accommodations on three distinct segments of the lodging market: long-term rentals, residential housing, and star hotels. The results unveil a noteworthy and affirmative correlation between shared accommodations and housing prices. In contrast, the discernible effect on star hotel room prices is minimal, though spatially varied patterns emerge. Furthermore, this inquiry illuminates salient geographical determinants that influence the supply of shared accommodations. These findings offer valuable insights into the intricate interplay between shared accommodations and urban housing markets, underscoring the critical role of geographical heterogeneity in shaping these dynamics.

In the realm of digital consumer behavior, there is a growing interest in audio content marketing, which has significant implications for the tourism industry. Destination marketing is pivotal in shaping a destination's image, making it essential to understand the role of tourism podcasts in marketing efforts. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of podcasts operated by destination marketing organizations on the perceived destination image and travel intentions of podcast listeners. Quantitative data was collected through an online questionnaire (n = 413). Participants rated the destination on image and travel intention, listened to a podcast stimulus, and then rated the destination on image and travel intention a second time. The findings reveal that participants had a better perceived image of the destination after listening to the podcast than before, and this positively influenced their travel intentions. The paper discusses the practical implications of utilizing destination podcasts as an effective addition to a destination's marketing strategy, alongside a critical evaluation of the operational effort required.

The phenomenon of homogeneity in tourism communication is becoming evident, adversely affecting tourists' experiences. However, the academic community has largely overlooked this issue. Based on the Stimulus-Organism-Response theory, this study constructs a causal relationship model involving perceived homogeneity, psychological fatigue, and intentional avoidance in the context of tourism live streaming. Using the PLS-SEM method, survey data from 306 tourists who watch tourism livestreams every day were analyzed. The analysis identified two factors that contribute to tourists' psychological fatigue: perceived information homogeneity and perceived e-servicescape homogeneity. Tourists' reactions to homogeneity include an internal processing organism, encompassing three dimensions of psychological fatigue: cognitive, emotional, and motivational. The ultimate behavioral response to these fatigues is intentional avoidance. This study advances the online tourism marketing and virtual tourism literature by developing and empirically testing a comprehensive model and provides practical guidance for tourism marketers and live streaming organizers by revealing the dual nature of live streaming in tourism.

This study proposes a theoretical framework for dynamic destination competitiveness (DD-TDC) by integrating digital empowerment and dynamic governance mechanisms. Using data on the competitiveness of 119 destinations from the World Economic Forum (2018–2023), the Interpretable Random Forest Model and SHapley Additive exPlanations analysis was conducted to explore the drivers of competitiveness during crisis and non-crisis periods. The findings reveal that (1) Policy factors exhibit a short-term dominant effect on competitiveness through dynamic governance mechanisms during the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) in the long term, infrastructure is the most significant driver of competitiveness, followed by tourism resources and the business environment, while policy and sustainability contribute relatively less; and (3) the long-term impact of COVID-19 on destination competitiveness is limited. This study validates the dynamic adaptability of the DD-TDC model and provides methodological insights for destination managers to address crises and build sustainable competitiveness. The results have valuable implications for both academic research and practical destination management strategies.

The objective of this explanatory mixed method study was to examine the factors contributing to make a destination perform successfully. The quantitative phase was represented by a survey of 624 tourists, conducted in the Italian city of Naples. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to determine a prioritization of attributes. The qualitative phase involved an analysis of user-generated content (81 reviews) from Tripadvisor and the Leximancer program was used for this purpose. The results confirmed many of the findings of the SEM, including the importance of appearance, aligned with several of the 13As attributes identified, and supported the managerial recommendations. Assessing the success of tourism destinations is essential for policymakers, destination managers, researchers, and companies.
The main findings of the study show practical benefits for destinations and individuals in charge of tourism planning, development, and marketing as they provide explicit metrics for assessing performance.

Purpose
This research explores new marketing practices within the metaverse, focusing on components and strategies that create immersive experiences. It examines the relationship between the metaverse and immersive experiences alongside Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, leading to the development of the ‘Metaverse Tourism Marketing Ecosystem’ (MTME) framework.
Design/methodology/approach
The study employs the PRISMA process for a systematic literature review (SLR), initially evaluating 4174 research articles from the Scopus database for bibliometric analysis. Thematic analysis extracts major themes in emerging tourism marketing trends within a business context, narrowing down to 41 relevant articles based on PRISMA criteria. Bibliometric analysis provides an overview of metaverse marketing, while thematic analysis identifies recurring themes in textual data, yielding valuable insights into marketing practices.
Findings
The findings reveal nine initial themes for immersive marketing in tourism. Further analysis identifies a main theme centered on three fundamental marketing components: ‘Interrelationship,’ ‘Interfunctionality,’ and ‘Interoperability,’ which serve as foundational elements for implementation. In-depth thematic analysis uncovers three primary knowledge gaps related to immersive experiences: cognitive, emotional, and virtual immersion.
Originality/value
This research significantly contributes by analyzing limitations in current studies, advancing knowledge and practices in metaverse marketing, and providing systematic insights into marketing evolution. Additionally, the study advocates for sustainable engagement in the virtual realm, aligning with SDGs. This study proposes the 'Metaverse Tourism Marketing Ecosystem,' an innovative framework for optimizing tourism marketing in immersive virtual environments. By enhancing user behavior understanding, it fosters immersive experiences and informs effective marketing strategies and policy planning.

While there is near unanimous agreement that for tourism to be considered sustainable, residents need to be empowered, few researchers have asked residents which dimensions of empowerment should be prioritized. This research seeks to fill this gap and give residents a voice in sharing their empowerment priorities by conducting an Importance Performance Analysis using the Resident Empowerment through Tourism Scale within the nature-based tourism destination of Brevard, located in Transylvania County, NC, USA. Results found residents to be generally apathetic towards empowerment, with psychological, social, political, and economic empowerment all falling in the “Low Priority” quadrant when using a scale-centered approach. However, when using a data-centered technique, “Economic Empowerment” and “Political Empowerment” fell into the “Concentrate Here” quadrant. However, “Social Empowerment” landed in the “Possible Overkill” quadrant, and “Psychological Empowerment” landed in the “Keep up the Good Work” quadrant. Results suggest that tourism managers within Brevard should focus on coordinated efforts to improve resident involvement and access to decision-making, and better distribute or highlight the economic benefits tourism brings to the county. If researchers and practitioners really care about empowering residents, more research is needed to identify residents’ empowerment priorities and benchmark how well destinations are performing on those priorities.

Emotional experience forms the core of the tourism experience, with visual and auditory senses serving as primary channels for such experiences. Despite their significance as key audio-visual stimuli, the impact of linguistic landscapes on visual attention and tourist emotions remains underexplored. Experiment 1, utilizing on-site video footage of cultural districts and eye-tracking technology, revealed a correlation–although not an equivalence–between visual attention and emotional experiences. Experiment 2 expanded upon this by gathering data from 165 tourists observing Shaanxi’s linguistic landscape through eye-tracking devices and electromyography. The results reveal a transformation process–from visual stimulation to experiencing emotional engagement. This transformation is mediated by aesthetic experience for emotional pleasure and perceptual fluency for emotional arousal. This study underscores the complexity of the tourist gaze, emphasizing the necessity for individual cognitive processing and recognition. By elucidating the emotional mechanisms underlying tourists’ observation of linguistic landscapes, this research provides actionable insights for destination landscape design and tourism experience management.

Without a standardized scale, evaluating different sport destinations and identifying contexts for improvement or growth becomes challenging. This hinders the ability of researchers and policymakers to make informed decisions and implement effective strategies for developing and promoting destinations. As far as we know, no such scale is currently available. To bridge this gap, we use a rigorous multi-step scale development procedure to create a scale focusing on destination competitiveness and attractiveness. Initially, we defined the construct's scope. Next, we created items through a literature review, semi-structured interviews, and fuzzy Delphi, followed by a content validity assessment. We then gathered data for testing, involving 237 participants in item refining, 477 in scale validation, and 355 in nomological validity assessment. The results confirmed a six-dimensional and twenty-one-item scale with acceptable reliability and validity levels. The scale offers valuable insights from theoretical, methodological, and managerial perspectives for researchers and practitioners involved in developing sport tourism destinations.
