ABSTRACT The state of Uttarakhand, India is plagued by the unique situation of “ghost villages”, where not a single resident remains in the village. Number of reasons and solutions have been ascribed to this situation. Community-based tourism (CBT) has been promoted as an option to prevent outbound migration. Thus, preventing the emergence of new ghost villages. The success of community-based tourism is predicated on its acceptance by the host village community. The present qualitative research identifies the acceptance and inhibiting factors of the host community towards the CBT. While the host community has granted cognitive & pragmatic legitimacy to the CBT phenomena and accepted the evolving social norms, the moral legitimacy for CBT is still lacking from the community elders.

ABSTRACT Destinations increasingly use chatbots in the management and communication with tourists. This study analyzes the mediating effect of chatbot usage satisfaction on forming the destination’s image. As a case study, we use the Chabot “Victoria la Malagueña,” Spain. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equations were necessary to identify the relationships between the constructs. The results show that informativeness and empathy are the main attributes that influence user satisfaction and mediate forming a destination image. The study has managerial implications and provides destination management organizations with practical information for creating chatbots.

ABSTRACT Culinary or gastronomy tourism has become a rising issue nowadays. People want to discover new flavour while travelling. Food consumption is the combination of one’s cultural, social, psychological and sensory acceptance factors and it is a very complex decision-making process. Food consumption is also associated with motivational factors which are mood, health, sensory appeal, familiarity, convenience, price and natural content. The antecedents of tourist food consumption and food choice motives of foreign tourists in Istanbul were examined. The results show that sensory appeal, mood, natural content, health content and convenience had positive and direct connection with tourist food consumption intentions. There is no statistically significant evidence to support the associations of familiarity and price with the tourist food consumption intentions.

Ferry services are crucial in transporting passengers to many tourism Islands. However, poor quality services and safety issues are the leading issues among water transportation businesses (Cheunkamon et al., 2022; Nguyen-Phuoc et al., 2021; Rather & Camilleri, 2019; Sumaedi et al., 2014). Moreover, even though water transportation is a vital element of the Island’s sustainability (Efthymiou & Papatheodorou, 2015), there has been a lack of studies investigating ferry services’ perceived safety and security, and service quality, especially in less developed countries (Van Lierop et al., 2018; Zhang et al., 2019). With the opening of social activities post-pandemic, there is a sudden increase in demand for water transportation services among travellers (Ayub et al., 2018). Abukhalifeh and Chandran (2020) state that passenger ships in operation today are subject to additional COVID-19 standard operating procedures (SOPs). Such strict SOPs could significantly affect usage intention and satisfaction (Friman et al., 2020; Zhang et al., 2019). This would eventually affect customers’ experience and substantially impact their future behaviour. This short research allows ferry operators to understand better how passengers perceive the ferry service quality and safety and security, especially during the post-pandemic realm. With such understanding, they can re-strategise their offerings and improve their services to meet the need and expectations of the passenger. The study findings also contributed to the literature on water transportation services by empirically integrating the factors affecting the image of ferry services and satisfaction among post-pandemic travellers.
渡轮服务在将乘客运送到许多旅游岛屿方面至关重要。然而,服务质量差和安全问题是水运企业面临的主要问题(Cheunkamon et al., 2022;Nguyen-Phuoc等,2021;Rather & Camilleri, 2019;Sumaedi et al., 2014)。此外,尽管水上运输是岛屿可持续性的重要组成部分(Efthymiou & Papatheodorou, 2015),但缺乏调查渡轮服务感知安全性和服务质量的研究,特别是在欠发达国家(Van Lierop等人,2018;Zhang等人,2019)。随着大流行后社会活动的开放,旅行者对水运服务的需求突然增加(Ayub等人,2018年)。Abukhalifeh和Chandran(2020)指出,目前运营的客船需要遵守额外的COVID-19标准操作程序(sop)。如此严格的sop会显著影响使用意愿和满意度(Friman et al., 2020;Zhang等人,2019)。这最终会影响客户的体验,并对他们未来的行为产生重大影响。这项简短的研究使渡轮运营商能够更好地了解乘客对渡轮服务质量和安全性的看法,特别是在大流行后的时期。有了这样的了解,他们就可以重新制定服务策略,改善服务,以满足乘客的需求和期望。研究结果还通过实证整合影响渡轮服务形象和大流行后旅行者满意度的因素,为水上运输服务的文献做出了贡献。

ABSTRACT Destination collaboration is deemed critical for tourism recovery, particularly after periods of crisis like COVID-19. This paper explores destination-based tactics and collaborations when pursuing air services. An online database and interviews with industry practitioners reveals that “market research and intelligence”, “collaboration and relationship building”, and “administrative support and regulatory compliance guidance” are practiced but not documented in the extant literature. Destination organizations including airports, government agencies, tourism authorities, and travel trade businesses make distinctive contributions, and smaller airports engage closely with the travel trade. Our findings extend the application of stakeholder theory to the field with more empirical evidence and address shortcomings in air service development interpretations. A more comprehensive definition of air service development has also been proposed.

ABSTRACT The coronavirus pandemic had a tremendous impact on the hotel industry worldwide. The present study highlights strategic directions for quality improvements and customer satisfaction enhancement in Wuhan hotels by applying Multiple Criteria Satisfaction Analysis to online user-generated satisfaction ratings. In total, 21.247 guest satisfaction ratings on four aspects of hotel stay (location, cleanliness, value for money and service) as well as on overall satisfaction for the 406 hotels listed for Wuhan on TripAdvisor were retrieved. The analysis revealed that convenient location is the most important satisfaction criterion for hotel guests’ satisfaction and that hotels perform well regarding this criterion. Also, cleanliness, value for moneyand service can be potential threats for customer satisfaction.

COVID-19 has impacted global tourism, with international arrivals dropping from nearly 1.5 billion in 2019 to only 381 million in 2020 (UNWTO, 2021). Destinations more reliant on international tourism have been the most affected, and the Spanish tourism industry is among the hardest hit by the pandemic (Duro et al., 2021). According to the Spanish Statistical Office (INE, n.d.), Spain had 55.98 million international hotel guests in 2019. This figure represented a historical record, and the culmination of a decade characterized by a sustained growth trend since the financial crisis of 2009. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic broke this growing trend, and the number of international guests dropped drastically to only 10.8 million in 2020 (INE, n.d.). Decision-makers are aware of the devastating effects of the pandemic and anxious to design policies and business strategies that mitigate them. However, planning and implementing effective measures require precise information about the pandemic’s economic impact on tourism. A better understanding of the pandemic’s economic consequences will allow decision-makers to determine an optimal framework for action. In response to this informational requirement, numerous descriptive studies aimed at explaining the immediate general consequences of the pandemic are ongoing. However, these studies are of limited use because they only corroborate what is evident: The pandemic is ruining the tourism industry worldwide (Kock et al., 2020). In general, there is a lack of empirical studies that analyse the magnitude of the pandemic’s negative consequences on tourism that can guide decision-making (Wickramasinghe & Ratnasiri, 2021). The main goal of the present research is to fulfil decision-makers’ informational requirement. Specifically, the aim is to assess the impact of COVID-19 on international tourism in Spain in 2020. In particular, the most recent official data available from the INE is used to perform a counterfactual analysis based on the predictions of an optimal seasonal autoregressive moving average (SARIMA) model. These forecasts allow simulating a hypothetical scenario of international tourism to Spain in 2020 had the pandemic never occurred.
2019冠状病毒病影响了全球旅游业,国际游客人数从2019年的近15亿下降到2020年的3.81亿(联合国世界旅游组织,2021年)。更依赖国际旅游的目的地受到的影响最大,西班牙旅游业是受疫情打击最严重的地区之一(Duro等人,2021年)。根据西班牙统计局(INE, n.d)的数据,2019年西班牙有5598万国际酒店客人。这一数字创下了历史新高,也是自2009年金融危机以来持续增长的十年的高潮。COVID-19大流行的爆发打破了这一增长趋势,2020年国际游客数量急剧下降,仅为1080万(INE, n.d)。决策者意识到大流行病的破坏性影响,并急于制定减轻这些影响的政策和商业战略。然而,规划和实施有效措施需要有关大流行对旅游业经济影响的准确信息。更好地了解大流行的经济后果将使决策者能够确定最佳的行动框架。为了满足这一信息需求,正在进行许多描述性研究,旨在解释这一流行病的直接一般后果。然而,这些研究的用途有限,因为它们只证实了显而易见的事实:大流行正在破坏全球旅游业(Kock et al., 2020)。总的来说,缺乏实证研究来分析大流行对旅游业的负面影响程度,从而指导决策(Wickramasinghe & Ratnasiri, 2021)。本研究的主要目标是满足决策者的信息需求。具体而言,目的是评估2019冠状病毒病对2020年西班牙国际旅游业的影响。特别是,从INE获得的最新官方数据用于基于最优季节性自回归移动平均(SARIMA)模型的预测进行反事实分析。这些预测可以模拟2020年从未发生大流行的情况下西班牙国际旅游的假设情景。

ABSTRACT While many studies neglect to assess villager readiness for tourism-based village development, this present study addresses this issue by providing a quantitative measurement to evaluate villager readiness towards tourism programmes. Using Balesari village -an emerging tourism village in Indonesia- as a case, the level of readiness was measured. To better capture the actual condition, the present study applied Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to weigh each dimension based on stakeholders’ priority. Drawing from the key stakeholders’ dimension weighting and field survey of 187 respondents, we can quantify the readiness level and provide detailed descriptions of villager readiness in a tourism development project. The result of this study may inform policymakers in assessing rural tourism development projects from the villagers’ perspective.

ABSTRACT Tourism in many developing countries is viewed as a strategic industry for socio-economic development. Therefore, competitive strategies are prevalent in marketing key anchor products like sea, sun, sand, and wildlife. The competitiveness of tourism destinations depends on how it is viewed. Formed images, about a place, determine whether to buy or not the product “destination”. This paper examines how destination branding can gain competitive advantage by modelling a factorial analysis to check interactions between elements. Study findings indicate a statistically significant association between destination branding and competitive advantage.

ABSTRACT This paper reviews the literature on distance decay in urban and rural tourism. Through a systematic literature review, this paper aims to understand the current state of knowledge regarding distance decay in tourism including (1) reveal the main topics and domains, (2) variables applied in past studies, while simultaneously distinguishing them in the form of urban and rural tourism as well as (3) identify potential areas and gaps for future studies. The findings indicate a growing interest among tourism researchers to examine distance decay, with studies predominantly focusing more on urban tourism than rural tourism.

Through a systematic literature review, this paper aims to understand the current state of knowledge regarding distance decay in tourism including (1) reveal the main topics and domains, (2) variables applied in past studies, while simultaneously distinguishing them in the form of urban and rural tourism as well as (3) identify potential areas and gaps for future studies. The findings indicate a growing interest among tourism researchers to examine distance decay, with studies predominantly focusing more on urban tourism than rural tourism. Additionally, this review recommends future studies to investigate distance decay in crisis and disaster management for future study regardless of urban or rural tourism settings.","PeriodicalId":87219,"journal":{"name":"Anatolia sport research","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82665645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
