We examine internal and external factors that build or thwart the career adaptability resources of migrant hotel workers. Drawing on qualitative data at two points in time over a 12-month period during COVID-19, results show that while some migrant workers changed roles and exited hotels, for most, job changes were a shorter-term, separation phenomenon, with migrants transitioning back to their employer within a year. Psychological, social, and human capital resources facilitated career adaptability, while psychoemotional support from managers and peers fostered the confidence of temporary migrants, and facilitated positive affect, which was integral to their openness to exploring alternate hospitality careers. Inhibitors to career adaptability included a lack of agency among temporary migrants, and career entrenchment of mid-career permanent migrants. Our model provides a fine-grained, holistic understanding of the antecedents of career adaptability, enriching career construction theory by clarifying the contexts that drive career adaptability in the evolving, COVID-19 context.

The studies presented in this special edition show the importance of sustainable tourist destinations in Spain, Italy, and the Dominican Republic, ending with the presentation of a bibliometric analysis of the state of the art of rural tourism worldwide. It is pointless to cite unsustainable examples that only seek short-term profitability since these destinations will be unsustainable in the medium term.

As the luxury market and associated experiential consumption continues to rise, the hospitality management literature lags somewhat behind practice in examining luxury experiences. This research presents an exploratory analysis of luxury hotel experiences via the approach of topic modeling and emotion detection in online luxury hotel reviews. Results demonstrate that “people” and “product—activity & wellness” aspects of luxury hotel experiences tend to be positively associated with online review ratings. The “product—food & beverage” and “physical evidence and place” aspects may produce mixed effects on rating levels. Finally, the “process” and “price and promotion” aspects tend to be negatively associated with online review ratings. Findings further reveal that such effects function via the mediation paths of various categories of discrete emotions. These results offer enriching insight for hospitality management research and practice regarding luxury hotel experiences.

The outcome of this process is that the observed concrete events are reconstructed to be represented at higher-order and more abstract construal level for a conceptual understanding of the concrete phenomena. In the pursuit of kernel theorizing, we encourage researchers to be paradigmatic and intentional in connecting dots with potential theoretical perspectives as well as connecting studies through a synthesis of knowledge that is beyond a defined context (Young et al., 2021). We are looking for articles that are willing to step away from the narrow empiricism to take a creative leap that produces larger scale insights.

This research aims to examine the role of menu messaging (implicit vs. explicit) used to disclose the healthy food item in shifting diner perceptions and purchase intentions. Drawing on a consumer experiment, the results establish a menu messaging effect on diners’ purchase intentions of healthy items and the underlying mechanism via psychological reactance and perceived attractiveness. Explicit (vs. implicit) messaging negatively affects consumer purchase intentions, which is due to 1) increased psychological reactance (i.e., perceived threat of freedom and counterarguing) and 2) decreased perceived attractiveness. The menu messaging effect is further conditioned by diners’ goal orientation (pleasure vs. goal). Under a goal-driven mindset, the messaging effect is more pronounced compared to a pleasure-driven mindset. This research is among the first to establish a significant role of menu messaging in healthy item communication at restaurants. Theoretical and managerial are further elaborated.

Contactless hospitality services are an expensive endeavor with an uncertain return on investment. This study explores these services from the perspective of hotel guests’ willingness to pay (WTP). To this end, 10 discrete choice experiments were conducted on 1,939 Chinese hotel guests to test a hybrid choice model. The findings indicate that hotel guests’ WTP is influenced by hotel attributes, hotel scale, customer demographics, travel-related variables, technology readiness, and health concerns. Generally, there is significant heterogeneity in the WTP for different contactless amenities, such as for contactless room entrance, contactless payment system, contactless elevator service, robotic services, a smart room, and contactless front desk services. This study contributes to the knowledge on technology implementation in the hospitality industry and the WTP for hotel amenities. Furthermore, it guides hotel practitioners to invest smartly and rationally in contactless services.

Dark rides are archetypal theme park attractions that provide compelling experiences through carefully structured experience designs. In a literature review, we follow and slightly modify Langhof and Güldenberg’s conceptualization of the dark ride experience (DRE) and suggest that the DRE mostly consists of narrative transportation, presence, flow, and emotions. However, to what extent these conceptualizations match actual dark ride supply remains unexamined. Therefore, we evaluate 238 dark rides in the EMEA region on product determinants of the DRE and compare literature-based conceptualizations of the DRE against actual dark ride supply. Findings indicate that dark rides highly vary in terms of storytelling, theming, and pervasive interactivity, thus questioning whether all components of the DRE always apply to the full dark ride spectrum. Proposing the Dark Ride Cube as a dark ride typology, Langhof and Güldenberg’s conceptualization of the DRE is largely confirmed, as well as the currently suggested modifications.

With empirical insights gained across a series of studies, the current research examines the technology-facilitated preservice tipping encounter. Drawing on the tip-enhancing literature and the spatial crowding theory, this research reveals the divergent impacts of tip suggestion on consumers’ tipping behaviors and their satisfaction with the digital payment experience. Our findings show that, while effective in elevating tipping amount, the presence of tip suggestion can frustrate consumers and impose a detrimental impact on their satisfaction with the online payment experience. Particularly, this effect is contingent on the design of the digital payment page: The negative effect of tip suggestion on satisfaction with the payment experience is more profound when the digital payment page follows a crowded layout but mitigated when the layout is spacious. Findings from the current research offer timely contributions to theory and practice with an evolving perspective on the technology-facilitated preservice tipping encounter.

Hotel performance is one of the core concerns for managers and investors. However, a clear pathway from investment in branding to hotel performance is scarce. To fill this research gap, the study aims to explore the effects of brand identity, physical facility quality, and brand equity on hotel performance; and to examine the moderating effect of social capital in the brand–performance transformation model in both international and domestic brand hotel settings. Data were collected from 1,201 hotel managers in China, with 757 from international and 444 from domestic brand hotels. Theoretically, this study represents a first attempt to reveal the indirect roles that social capital plays in the hotel financial performance formation. The identified brand–performance pathway also provides implications for hotel practitioners regarding how to boost desirable hotel performance through both internal and external resources.
