Tension between nature conservation, green grabbing, land acquisition for tourism, and value grabbing highlight a significant yet understudied area: the underlying land rent mechanisms and the state's role in driving green land acquisition for tourism. Using Marxian land rent theory, we explored how ‘state monopoly rent’ is produced by tourism-induced green land acquisition and the consequent displacement and resettlement of communities in and around the Wulingyuan World Heritage. State actors actively acquired land and land use rights for tourism development to maximise the rent gap despite, and perhaps because of, national nature conservation priorities and restrictions. State actors are a key player in the political economy of tourism by directly capitalizing on potential land rent in China.

In three studies (a lab experiment, a field experiment, and a qualitative study), this research investigates memories formed by tourism brand experiences in virtual reality. Specifically, this work establishes to what extent episodic and semantic memories from virtual reality tourism brand experiences are formed and retained, and what mechanisms underscore this process. Moreover, using a bespoke virtual environment and adopting a longitudinal approach, this research demonstrates how accuracy and confidence in episodic and semantic memories of a tourism brand formed in virtual reality evolve over time. We discuss how virtual reality tourism brand experience can spur memory pre-, during and post-tourist visit. Theoretical and managerial implications are considered.

To ignite a theoretical progression for business travel and work-nonwork management research, this study constructed a framework to understand the work-leisure interference process in business travel. The dual lens of resource reservoirs and resource caravan passageways is useful to explain how functional and hedonic travel benefits influence work and leisure outcomes via work-leisure conflict. A mixed methods approach combining survey and experimental design was employed. It was found that functional and hedonic benefits significantly influence revisit intention, destination attachment, job satisfaction, and work vigor through reduced work-leisure conflict. Perceived control moderates the effect of functional or hedonic travel benefits on work-leisure conflict. The study contributes to a systematic understanding of business travel's dual aspects based on two empirical investigations.

Online travel agencies commonly utilize 5-point and 10-point scales to display hotel ratings. When processing and comparing hotel ratings on different numerical scales (e.g., 4.1/5 vs. 8.4/10), what method(s) do consumers use? Through nine studies, this research shows that consumers tend to employ absolute differences (e.g., 5–4.1 vs. 10–8.4) or relative differences (e.g., 4.1 ÷ 5 vs. 8.4 ÷ 10) when making comparative judgments. Notably, the choice of method can lead to preference reversals. We further reveal that higher numeracy leads to greater reliance on relative differences. However, such an impact is attenuated under a utilitarian motive. Additionally, a greater promotion focus leads to greater reliance on absolute differences. The findings contribute to a more nuanced understanding of how consumers process hotel ratings.

User-generated content has become an invaluable resource for researchers in hospitality and tourism, especially regarding sales and demand forecasting. Some scholars have analyzed textual data and sentiment information; however, few studies have addressed roles of user-generated photos in hotel demand prediction. This study fills this void by examining the effectiveness of various photo features (i.e., topics and sentiments) for hotel demand forecasting. Results demonstrate the superiority of photo topic features over sentiment features in enhancing demand prediction. Forecasting accuracy is further improved after integrating a combination of photo topic and sentiment features. Moreover, user-generated photos elevate the accuracy of daily demand forecasting for different hotels. This study contributes to the literature on hotel demand forecasting using Internet multimodal data.

Stag party tourism is a highly ritualized contemporary rite of passage that is associated with drunken excess and norm-breaking toxic masculinity. Despite contravening societal rules and encouraging deviant behaviour, stag parties are generally tolerated. This paper explores how stag tourism is a constructed rite of passage and a scripted liminality, packaged by destination marketers, staged by service providers, and performed enthusiastically by participants. Analysis of interview and observational data suggests that the bachelor movie genre is the inspiration which informs expectations and experience. Indeed, the degree of inter-textuality between on-screen (reel life) and off-screen (real life) performances confirms that this is a scripted liminality, informed not by elders or peers, but by Hollywood film makers. We conclude with a discussion of a series of contributions and implications for practice.

Do destinations really matter in domestic tourism when markets as a whole are considered? This study applies push-pull theory to assess destination choice among domestic Australian tourists. Two types of analyses are undertaken. The first compares push factors and pull features across a range of destination classes, while the second conducts a paired-destination analysis investigating differences between like destinations. The study determined that few real differences exist in push factors by either destination class or paired destination set, while virtually no differences were observed in the pull features of individual destinations. The study concludes that many domestic destinations are highly substitutable, creating a challenge for destination marketing organisations.

This study investigates tourism social enterprises' challenges, strategies, and opportunities for regenerative tourism. Social movement theory was used to analyze fifty-seven social entrepreneur interviews. Three stages were identified: Inspiration – factors driving the creation and innovation of these enterprises; Sustaining – obstacles and strategies for long-term success; Exploring and participating in regenerative tourism – obstacles and strategies for engagement. The Systems Thinking and Feedback Loop created by regenerative tourism was illuminated by the study participants. Theoretical implications include the first use of social movement theory, systems thinking, and feedback loop together as a framework named the Regenerative Tourism Social Movement Theory Model. Practical recommendations include strategies for selecting like-minded business partners and ways to educate tourists (both overt and covert) about the benefits of a regenerative mindset.

Drawing on the upper echelons theory and the attention theory, this study investigates the influence of a chief executive officer's political beliefs on the market value generated by corporate social responsibility investments. The empirical analysis on U.S. hotel companies over a 25-year period (1998–2022) reveals that greater misalignment between a chief executive officer's ideology and the national political climate leads to a weaker impact of corporate social responsibility-related activities on the market value. This result is significant because it suggests that chief executive officers' actions are not solely determined by their ideological stance—as the upper echelons theory predicts—but rather by the conflict they experience when the external environment contradicts their ideological beliefs, which is a theoretical extension.
