This study presents a novel forecasting framework for panel tourism demand, utilizing a machine learning approach with mixed-frequency panel data—the first in tourism forecasting. The empirical results indicate that (a) our proposed approach, which leverages mixed-frequency panel data, significantly outperforms benchmark models in forecasting tourism demand by effectively capturing high-frequency consumer behavior information; (b) the successful capture of common information in panel data can offset the deviations brought about by individual countries' heterogeneity and improve the average accuracy of tourism demand forecasting; and (c) the machine learning approach through sparse-group least absolute shrinkage and selection operator addresses the collinearity issue in dynamic panel tourism demand forecasting and facilitates the identification of the time lag structure of influential variables.

Tourist–resident encounters shape the social dynamics of contemporary cities. This study presents a novel approach exploring how tourist–resident encounters influence both visitors' experiences and residents' lives by analysing social contact as co-creation practices. Qualitative data from Copenhagen's urban cycling practices identifies three main social contact practices: communal, collaborative and adversarial. The findings unfold multiple practice bundles that are identified in different tourist-resident encounters contexts. It illustrates how the materials, meanings and competences in urban cycling practices trigger tourist–resident social contact, shaping value co-creation practices. These dynamics affect both conviviality and the overall travel experience. The study discusses the proposed framework to examine social contact and co-creation practices and offers practical suggestions to promote sustainable tourist–resident relationships.

This study, from a technology acceptance perspective using innovation diffusion theory and a mixed-method approach, explores how digital resurrection technology influences destination word of mouth. Grounded theory and experimental results show: First, for non-serious destinations, adopting digital resurrection technology enhances word of mouth, while for serious destinations, not adopting it leads to better word of mouth. Second, in non-serious destinations, perceived compatibility mediates the positive effect of adoption, while in serious destinations, adoption weakens word of mouth through moral disgust. Third, in non-serious destinations, resurrection image with high appearance realism enhances perceived compatibility, thus improving word of mouth; in serious destinations, low appearance realism evokes greater moral disgust, reducing word of mouth. Fourth, Tourists' openness to experience moderates these mediating effects.

We explore the dynamic, oscillating nature of communities' temporalities in disaster recovery, using social practice theory to analyze the role of communities'-led tsunami museums in Sri Lanka. By examining the intertwined elements of meanings, materials, and competences, we uncover how daily rituals, tangible artifacts, and communities' interactions produce collective memory and resilience. Employing a qualitative methodology that includes witnessing and conversations with local residents, our research emphasizes the non-linear, complex trajectories of healing post-disaster. This research contributes to the broader discourse on disaster and communities' resilience, providing a nuanced understanding of how embodied experiences and social practices influence long-term recovery processes in tourism. These enhancements help better understand and leverage the local context in disaster tourism settings.

Researchers are making increasing use of an evolutionary perspective to understand the behaviors of tourists and residents, yet the implications of our evolved psychological mechanisms for classrooms and education remain underexplored. The purpose of this research is therefore to highlight and analyze the vast untapped potential of evolutionary psychology for tourism and hospitality education. The authors provide researchers and educators with a guide to evolutionary psychology as well as demonstrate the utility of an evolutionary perspective through three education cases. These three applications are complemented by a process model that illustrates how to use and test evolutionary theory in tourism and hospitality education empirically. We conclude by providing future research avenues with the aim to advance tourism and hospitality education.

Tourism in rural contexts is often approached from a perspective that situates the tourist as a customer but not as an active part of the community. This generates the feeling that the loss of social cohesion, one of the great problems affecting the rural world, can only be tackled by those who reside permanently in the villages. Our research proposes a broader view of the issue through the concept of homecoming tourism, a phenomenon whereby emigrants return to visit their place of origin, becoming tourists while also being part of the community. Through an ethnographic case study in Extremadura (Spain) we analyse the implications of homecoming tourism for the rural crisis and its capacity to generate community social capital.

Hybridity is the combination of different belief systems (institutional logics) that guide organisational practice. We analyse 32 decarbonisation business plans of tour operators to study the interplay between the market logic (incumbent) that supports the pursuit of continuous economic expansion, and the post-growth logic (challenger) that rejects the idea of unbridled growth. Through a mixed-method approach that combines content analysis and regression modelling, we find that the configurations of hybridity (i.e., the exact ways in which logics are combined) influence organisations' abilities to adopt science-based decarbonisation. We identify eight distinct transition patterns in the embedding of post-growth thinking into business plans that support a new theorisation of post-growth as a process of hybridisation.

The prior research on unearned preferential treatment has merely focused on its impact on consumer reactions or firms' performance (e.g., customer satisfaction, repurchase intention), with its sustainable consequences underexplored. In addition, holding the resource abundance account, past work on promotion tools (e.g., price discounts) has mainly examined positive social outcomes. Through a series of studies (N = 8402), combining field and experimental data with actual behavior measures (e.g., actual towel usage, click-through rate), this research demonstrates that, due to its unique exclusive nature, receiving unearned preferential treatment can situationally enhance consumers' psychological entitlement, which, in turn, renders consumers' decreased sustainable behavior. Intriguingly, marketers can reverse this negative effect by strategically harnessing a status-signaling appeal of sustainable behavior.

Once indigenous villages are designated as World Heritage Sites, they no longer belong exclusively to local residents. The political, cultural, and tourism-related values of these sites are overemphasized, often undermining the subjectivity of local residents. This transformation in spatial attributes of the villages constitutes “structural violence” against local communities. Existing literature still lacks direct research attention on this issue. This study uses the Fujian Tulou villages in China as case sites, employing a “material-social-cultural” three-dimensional framework to summarize three forms of structural violence: resource deprivation, imbalanced interest structure, and discourse erosion, rooted in spatial transformation, and further explores their underlying causes. The findings deepen insight into the tensions between World Heritage practices, tourism, and sustainable community development.
