The focus on supporting conservation and encouraging related behaviours is changing the emotional experiences of zoos and related moral positions towards animal tourism. Drawing on Haidt's moral emotions and theories of moral judgement, we interpret depth-interviews with zoo stakeholders to theorise four moral positions: the renunciation of captivity to protect animal rights; acts of propitiation that gesture towards a nature that has been harmed; the vindication of animal captivity through arguments about education and species preservation; and valediction through visits to endangered species and habitats as inspiration for conservation. These positions highlight the need for zoos to consider a moral emotion-behaviour gap as part of their conservation work.

This ethnographic study explores how digital nomads' engagement with a destination reshapes the traditional tourist gaze. This study uses Chiang Mai, Thailand, as a research case, through ethnographic observations and interviews with digital nomads and locals. The results show that the digital nomads' way of gazing includes the perception and anticipation of a destination as work- and productivity-friendly with required infrastructure, likeminded community with an exotic locale as a background and potential for recreational cultural activities. The study uncovers the paradox of the digital nomad gaze—although digital nomads seek deeper cultural involvement, their focus on productivity often hinders genuine engagement with the local environment.

This study investigates how sensory perception shapes memorable tourism experiences by analyzing 284,587 user-generated texts. We developed a nine-dimensional framework that incorporates interoception, proprioception, kinesthesia, and thermoception, beyond the traditional five senses, as well as a semantic analysis protocol for identifying memorable tourism experiences. The results revealed: (1) Nine senses exhibit varying magnitudes on memorable tourism experiences; (2) sensory intensity and diversity respectively demonstrate a saturation effect and inverted U-shaped influence with memorable tourism experiences; (3) visual-auditory-kinesthetic and visual-kinesthetic-thermoceptive combination significantly enhance memorable tourism experiences. This study advances the theoretical understanding of tourism experiences by quantifying extended sensory dimensions and memorable tourism experiences while providing novel empirical evidence for the relationships between nine senses and memorable tourism experiences.

This study advances theoretical understanding of social innovation in tourism and hospitality by conceptualising inclusive social innovation as a dynamic, embedded process. Drawing on 23 multi-stakeholder interviews and participatory observations within a disability-inclusive social enterprise employing people with disability, Hotel Etico, the study applies embeddedness as a theoretical lens to examine how inclusive social innovation is initiated and sustained for equitable and inclusive distribution of social value. Findings identify six mechanisms and four pathways through which actors co-create inclusive social value. By theorising embeddedness as processual and multi-dimensional, this research extends current frameworks of social innovation and offers a novel perspective on how inclusive social innovation can be embedded in hospitality social enterprise to drive systemic change.

Eco-gamified donation provides a bottom-up alternative to traditional environmental philanthropy and supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in public-goods provision. However, the prevalence of its utilitarian designs may exacerbate the gap between environmental intention and actual behavior. Drawing on psychological ownership theory, five experiments (including eye-tracking) test two non-utilitarian elements: challenge and moral cues. Presenting a challenge or increasing its difficulty enhances psychological ownership of the environmental project and increases donation amounts; this effect is stronger when moralization activates both internal and external ethical drivers. This research extends psychological ownership theory to the public-goods domain and offers actionable digital incentive strategies for environmental philanthropy.

Lifestyle mobilities refers to ways of life oriented around ongoing geographic mobility. This article first provides a history of lifestyle mobilities and how it is analytically distinct. We turn to the state-of-the-art in lifestyle mobilities research through a focus on digital nomadism. Our emphasis is on lifestyle mobilities' relevance for tourism, its infrastructure and politicisation – via geopolitics, geoarbitrage and gentrification, and the need for greater research diversity. We map a future research agenda centred on tensions of transitioning out, precarity and emplacement. The article also launches the Annals of Tourism Research Curated Collection on lifestyle mobilities. The Collection contains all past articles published in Annals of Tourism Research on the topic, and continues to grow as new articles are added.

A better understanding of how consumption emotions influence memories is critical for tourism practitioners to promote tourists' actions. This study, featuring a neuroscience approach (event-related potentials), examines the impacts of consumption emotions (positive vs. negative vs. neutral) on memory (implicit vs. explicit) in two hotel contexts (luxury vs. budget). Results show that consumption emotional stimuli have a greater enhancement effect on implicit and explicit memory than neutral stimuli, reflected by a smaller N400 and a larger P600 amplitude. In addition, hotel contexts interact with consumption emotions: positive emotions have a greater enhancement effect on implicit memory while negative emotions on explicit memory. These outcomes apply to luxury hotels but not to budget hotels, offering insightful theoretical and managerial implications.

While prior studies on destination image congruence have mainly focused on the tourist–supplier perspective and assumed linear effects, this study extends the scope by incorporating inter-tourist alignment and examining its asymmetric influence on tourists' emotional evaluations. Tourist reviews and promotional messages from TripAdvisor were analyzed using a pretrained transformer model to compute semantic similarity across diverse tourist attractions. Regression models tested the nonlinear effects of both congruence types. The results show an inverted U-shaped relationship for tourist–supplier congruence and a consistently positive convex relationship for inter-tourist congruence. The effect of inter-tourist congruence is further strengthened by review recency. The study provides practical implications for strategically managing user-generated content and optimizing destination marketing strategies.
