Extensive research on restoring individuals' depleted physical and mental resources stemming from escalating societal pressures emphasizes the restoring and rejuvenating effects of away-ness, without elucidating the underlying mechanisms. Using semi-structured interviews, this study illustrates being away as a form of role transition, revealing that individuals are cognizant of their roles and the transitions they undergo when traveling. Central to tourist restoration is the transformation in role responses when individuals undertake tourism, encompassing shifts in social norms, interpersonal constraints, role obligations, and avenues for self-expression. Further, the study delves into the dynamic nature of the role-transition process, which is co-determined by two distinct categories of triggers operating in both the everyday and destination environments, as well as through rites of transition.

The present study focuses on advancing the current discourse from women empowerment to ‘empowered-ness’ by conceptualising solo female vanlifers' bodies from travel reflections as a medium to redefine boundaries for socio-cultural norms. This study adopted a multi-faceted approach integrating social-networking-platform and ethnographic data to examine empowered-ness for women in prolonged mobility, and the role of empowered women's bodies in travel. 421 statements from 285 solo female vanlifers were collected through social-networking-platforms, and supplemented with synchronous longitudinal ethnographic data journalling solo female vanlife. The findings demonstrate that female empowered-ness through vanlife mobility manifests through independence from men, unconventional relationships, and risk-taking behaviour. This conceptual shift from empowerment to an ‘empowered’ framework is a contribution to solo female travel literature.

Anchored in the dwelling-mobility existential theory of well-being, this study shows how the grey nomad caravan experience in Australia leads to an identity renaissance process that increases travellers' well-being. Findings link ten dwelling and mobility themes to existential well-being, which contribute to the grey nomads' identity renaissance process. The study highlights the centrality of a balance between the dwelling and mobility dimensions – comfort vs. excitement – in the identity renaissance process. Defying negative ageing stereotypes, the study validates the dwelling-mobility synergy for well-being in retirement and emphasises the potential for positive identity renaissance and improved well-being among senior travellers. The motto ‘Adventure before dementia’ displayed on grey nomads' printed caravan stickers reflects older Australian's typically self-deprecating humour.

The COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly advanced digital technology adoption, transforming the knowledge work market and mainstreaming digital nomadism. While digital nomads often enjoy autonomy in choosing when, where, and how they perform their work, they face unique challenges in managing the intersection of work and leisure. Yet, literature on the practices digital nomads use to manage the boundaries between work and leisure is limited. This study combines the sociomaterial lens within practice theory and border theory to explore digital nomads' work-leisure management practices, analyzing 224 digital diary entries and 32 semi-structured in-depth online interviews to identify 25 practices. This study offers insights into digitally mediated work-leisure practices of digital nomads, highlighting key aspects and implications for the tourism sector.

The tourism and hospitality industry encompasses a wide range of customer segments, including a diverse representation of sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics. This study explores the experiences of LGBTIQ+ customers within servicescapes via social identity theory. Adopting a queer ethnographic approach, the study conducted in-depth interviews with twenty-seven participants identifying with non-normative sexual and gender identities within the Pan-Asian region. Through inductive thematic analysis, six key themes are identified: heteronormativity, cisnormativity, endonormativity, gender essentialism, gender patriarchy, and misandry myth. The study introduces a novel conceptualisation of sexual and gender normativities, with interdisciplinary implications, that challenge the conventional knowledge of servicescapes. Additionally, the study includes practical recommendations for businesses and policymakers to foster more inclusive societies.

This paper reorients research on the impacts of indigenous tourism from a focus on production to consumption, exploring a new phenomenon of the modern leisure consumption boom among indigenous hosts. Through a mixed-methods approach combining ethnography and Q method, the study uncovers shared consumption patterns and distinct consumption logics between indigenous people and tourists. Two key findings are highlighted. First, the leisure consumption of indigenous people, impacted by tourism, can be categorized into four types, with social interaction central. Second, indigenous hosts' leisure consumption is driven by a consumption desire rooted in reciprocity and a reflective engagement with modern consumer culture. This study explores subjectivity to offer a new understanding of the tourism demonstration effect.
