Grounded on the concept of ethnicity, this paper explores the travel consumption and decision-making behaviors of ethnic minority travelers through the lens of psychological empowerment. Employing a quantitative-dominant concurrent nested mixed-methods approach, 951 surveys (404 white and 547 ethnic minority participants), 6 focus groups, and 10 semi-structured interviews (with ethnic minority travelers) were conducted in the UK. The findings reveal the existence of prejudices and discrimination experienced by ethnic minorities during international and domestic travel, with ethnicity being a key factor. The paper identifies the need to adopt a multi-level empowerment approach, where psychological empowerment is found to be key to understanding how negative experiences and perceived risks are accepted, feared, and/or transformed into sources of interactional and intrapersonal empowerment. This has significant positive impacts on international and domestic travel intentions of ethnic minorities. The theoretical, methodological, and management implications of the study are discussed.

Underpinned by framing theory, this study examines how the mainstream news media constructs the war and tourism narratives. Using frame analysis and Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), this paper systematically unpacks the intertwined relationship between war and tourism in constructing its narratives during the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Three main frames were identified, including “impact,” “response” and “status,” which encompass eight specific issues. Results of Qualitative Comparative Analysis show that there are three influential narrative patterns associated with negative emotional frames: dashed hopes in tourism destinations, debates over travel bans versus human rights principles, and pessimism and uncertainty in the tourism industry. This research advances tourism literature by providing a new interpretative and analytical lens to the intricate interplay between war and tourism, serving as an important reference for future frame analysis research in tourism.

Effective strategies for managerial responses to guest reviews on peer-to-peer rental platforms remain undefined. This study utilizes symbolic interaction theory to explain the effect of hosts’ response positivity on guests’ review-posting intention. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining econometric modeling with experiment, to empirically examine the effects of response positivity and the underlying mechanism. The econometric findings indicate a “positivity paradox” in that overly positive responses reduce review-posting intention. This reduction is more pronounced for hosts who have made fewer responses to reviews and those without “Superhost” status. The results of the experiment reveal that this effect is largely driven by guests’ perceptions of the hosts’ authenticity, with overly positive responses often being interpreted as inauthentic. Our findings provide both theoretical and practical implications for stakeholders on peer-to-peer rental platforms. (Also available in Chinese)

This study inductively applies the Feedback Intervention Theory by empirically demonstrating the effectiveness of continuous, real-time eco-feedback and its interaction with motivational factors in modifying showering behavior. We conducted a covert true experiment across six tourist accommodations in Denmark, Spain, and the UK, where we deployed smart technology, in the form of a timer to provide the eco-feedback, coupled with persuasive messages. Data from over 17,500 showers showed that continuous, real-time eco-feedback reduced water runtime by 25.79% ( CI = 8.24%; 39.98%). When the eco-feedback was paired with the most effective message—priming pro-environmental values and requiring a high effort to comply—water runtime was reduced by 23.55% ( CI = 17.53%; 29.13%). The study’s robust experimental design, and its emphasis on actual behavior measurement, highlight the potential of smart technology to facilitate resource conservation.

Space tourists’ decision-making would be far more complicated than general tourism, but limited research has investigated the process. This research explored potential space tourists’ decision-making process, grounded in the constraint–effects–mitigation (CEM) model. Through in-depth interviews with 10 individuals who experienced extensive space tourism activities, the grounded theory approach revealed four underlying themes of motivations, constraints, negotiation, and future intention along with nine macro themes, identifying relevant tourism-based theories (e.g., leisure constraints, push-pull motivation). Negotiation was further found to be a complicated process, including appraisal, involvement, and strategies. Furthermore, future intentions ranged from abstract to concrete, as depicted by construal level theory. Lastly, an extended CEM model was developed with a compelling description of the decision-making process, theoretically enhancing the ability to explain each variable in detail. Space tourism companies are suggested to consider the key attributes and their relationships in developing marketing strategies and training programs.
太空游客的决策会比一般旅游复杂得多，但对这一过程的研究却很有限。本研究以约束-影响-缓解（CEM）模型为基础，探讨了潜在太空游客的决策过程。通过对 10 名经历过大量太空旅游活动的个人进行深入访谈，基础理论方法揭示了动机、制约因素、协商和未来意向四个基本主题以及九个宏观主题，并确定了相关的旅游基础理论（如休闲制约因素、推拉式动机）。研究进一步发现，协商是一个复杂的过程，包括评估、参与和策略。此外，未来意向从抽象到具体不等，正如构思水平理论所描述的那样。最后，通过对决策过程的有力描述，建立了一个扩展的 CEM 模型，从理论上提高了详细解释每个变量的能力。建议太空旅游公司在制定营销战略和培训计划时考虑关键属性及其关系。

This study investigates the impact of information framing (negative vs. positive) on the adoption of virtual reality (VR) tourism applications amidst various crisis events such as pandemics, natural disasters, political unrest, or terrorism. Using three experiments, we found that negatively framed information increases travel anxiety and the adoption of VR tourism more than positive framing, a pattern consistent across different crisis events. Travel anxiety, rather than perceived risk, was identified as the mediator in the relationship between information framing and VR tourism adoption. These insights are valuable for tourism marketers, policymakers, VR technology developers, and destination management organizations. They highlight the need for strategic information management during crises to influence traveler decisions and the potential of VR tourism as a tool for enhancing crisis resilience. These results also contribute to a deeper understanding of the dynamics between information framing, travel anxiety, and perceived risk in shaping tourism preferences and choices.

Although numerous benefits of family vacations have been recognized, the value of family interactions during tourism activities remains under-explored in the literature. Through a series of dual-perspective studies using both qualitative and quantitative approaches, this research developed and validated two multidimensional datasets to measure value co-creation and co-destruction from the perspectives of adult children and their parents on family vacations. The results demonstrate that interactions between adult children and their parents may lead to co-created and co-destructed value, and that children and parents perceive interactive value structures differently. The research also identified two antecedents (family role clarity and prior knowledge) and one consequence (overall experience evaluation) of value co-creation and co-destruction. By developing and validating an effective dual scale for assessing value co-creation and co-destruction through adult child-parent interactions during family vacations, this study advances research on family travel and provides practical evidence that help improve the family travel experience.

This paper provides an overview of the current state of academic research in event-tourism and its impact on the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). Through a systematic review and bibliometric analysis of 159 articles, this study reveals a moderate alignment between the literature on sustainable event tourism and the UN SDGs. However, certain SDGs, such as No Poverty, Zero Hunger, and Gender Equality, have limited research attention in this context. This study also sheds light on under-researched stakeholders including sponsors, associations, and academic institutions. Drawing on the theory of change proposed by the UN Development Group and stakeholder analysis, the findings presented in this study serve as a bridge between theoretical frameworks and real-world applications. This study provides tangible solutions and strategies for aligning event-tourism practices with the principles and targets outlined in the UN SDGs.

Social media is a particularly useful tool to promote sustainable tourism destinations. However, little is known about consumer engagement with social media communication in a destination social responsibility (DSR) context within the tourism industry. Grounded in the Stimulus-Organism-Response model, this study examines the factors that influence the intention to generate electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) on DSR issues through a specific social networking site. This research includes tourists’ social engagement, citizenship behaviors, perceived DSR, emotional responses to perceived DSR, and emotions toward a post as explanatory variables to investigate a specific behavioral intention as the outcome. The authors designed a study based on an online survey of Spanish Facebook users. Empirical testing confirmed most of the hypothesized effects except the influence of tourists’ helping behaviors on the intention to share the post.

Major tourism destinations depending on iconic resources to draw tourists are seeking to diversify their offerings. Building upon neolocalism, craft-beverage tourism has emerged as a diversification strategy. Such a strategy requires establishing a vibrant craft-beer industry that, according to the resource partitioning theory (RPT) requires applying four mechanisms (location, anti-mass production sentiment, customization, and conspicuous status). Since it is unknown how the RPT unfolds in tourism destinations, we interviewed 21 producers in Cusco (Peru), a major destination with an emerging craft-brewery industry, to identify the strategies they are utilizing to position their products when juxtaposed with tourism and neolocalism. We identified 17 actions that local craft-brewers apply and a strong tourism-neolocalism intersection, which altogether enriches the RPT. Findings suggest that craft-brewers build upon local places and culture to differentiate from, rather than fight against, their competitors. Findings can also guide agencies seeking to diversify the tourism offerings through craft-beverage tourism.
