This manuscript challenges conventional workplace norms in tourism that continue to marginalise people with disability. Grounded in emancipatory and social justice perspectives, we apply a visual-based participatory method to critically explore how people with disability understand thriving and what enables them to thrive in the tourism workforce. Findings reveal that vitality, learning and dignity are three key dimensions of thriving at work. Contextual determinants, including the genuine engagement of supervisors, are critical in activating the capabilities of people with disability, enhancing their potential to thrive in the workplace. A conceptual model is presented, articulating the underlying determinants of thriving for workers with disability in tourism. Future research should critically explore alternative solutions that normalise disability as part of workplace diversity.

Energy barriers -organisational inertia, staff resistance, employees' disengagement and lack of environmental awareness- often hinder hotels' green and prosocial initiatives. This paper explores the ways that can reinvigorate hotels' green programs and the managerial impulses that are essential for the long-term implementation. Using mixed methodology approach in our 18-month evidence-based action research, we investigate hotel guests' actual behaviour, explore how green programs can be maintained, and identify the actions affecting the uptake of the program to forgo daily room cleaning. Drawing upon warm glow and transition state theories, we determine when and how long-term green programs should be given ‘energy boosts’. We contribute to tourism research in showcasing how committed leadership and employees can take specific actions to overcome the energy barriers that can cause a green program to fail, and it also underscores the implications for situations in which management goals regularly face ‘energy barriers’ that must be overcome.

Places and stories shared by the taxi driver while moving through the city, ‘thicken’ places adding meaning and authenticity. We propose that this thickening is a kind of ‘placemaking from below’, and as such, our work is critical of an orthodoxy in tourism which privileges the ‘thin’ authorised tourism discourse of official destination management efforts, social media gloss and brochure narratives. Our research focuses on taxi drivers' local knowledge and histories. We show how they and other tourism workers offer a source of meanings emanating from local and lived narratives otherwise inaccessible to tourists in enclavic destination zones. We thus encourage a celebration of the marginalised voices of myriad service workers, and their important contribution to authentic tourism and placefulness.

Social media has become a vital external driver of tourism demand, yet prior studies have largely overlooked its dynamic, nonlinear effects and the mechanisms by which online information shapes offline behavior. Using data from blogs, image-and-text platforms, and short-video platforms, this study applies transfer entropy to construct platform-specific Social Media Communication Conversion Indices that capture the directional and lagged causal influence of digital content on tourist behavior. To model the complex temporal dynamics of these indices, we propose a deep learning–based ensemble forecasting framework. Empirical results based on daily city- and attraction-level demand data show that our model consistently outperforms seven benchmark methods. This study advances theoretical understanding and offers a robust methodological foundation for tourism forecasting.

This research explores Social Mobility Beliefs in service failure responses within hospitality. Across three studies, findings show that high-Social Mobility Beliefs customers blame employees more, leading to harsher evaluations, while low-Social Mobility Beliefs customers are more forgiving. Study 1 establishes this link, Study 2 tests causality, and Study 3 examines attribution processes as a mediator. Extending Attribution Theory, this research identifies Social Mobility Beliefs as a key cultural and socioeconomic factor. Practically, it underscores the need for culturally adaptive service recovery strategies, suggesting that shifting blame away from employees can reduce negative evaluations. By integrating socioeconomic perceptions, this study fills a gap in hospitality research and enhances service management strategies.

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has shown efficiency in creating novel images. However, limited studies have undertaken further questions, to what extent should generative AI created images be used, and do they surpass the effect of real ones? Based on hedonic adaptation theory, two experimental studies were conducted to determine the satiation effect of generative AI and real images. Study 1 found that generative AI images evoked a high level of inspiration in the beginning, which then steadily declined and showed the returning phase to the initial level. Study 2, which provided empirical evidence of the satiation effect, obtained identical results. However, mixed images showed lower inspirational levels in most repetition sets. Theoretical and practical implications are indicated.

This study examines how hegemonic ideologies shape women's participation in tourism in a theocracy. Applying Gramsci's theory of hegemony and a critical poststructural feminist lens, it analyses how Iran's politico-religious structures influence women's roles, employment, and mobility in tourism. Qualitative findings reveal strategies of compliance, negotiation, and resistance expressed through entrepreneurship, networking, and workplace practices. Concepts of ‘war of position’ and ‘passive revolution’ explain how women create space for agency without direct confrontation, reshaping visibility and legitimacy incrementally. The study advances tourism scholarship by situating women's agency within hegemonic structures of theocratic governance and extending Gramscian theory to show how gendered consent and resistance operate in tourism, while calling for gender-transformative policies that address inequality and support women's situated agency.
