Advances in visitor attraction research
The altered perceptions of visitors to national parks
The heightened valuation of natural resources and conservation by visitors in the post-COVID-19 period calls for policymakers to implement measures that ensure natural areas are maintained with adequate service and facility provisions. While previous research on national parks (NPs) has focused on visitor satisfaction and return visit intentions, no studies to date have explored the differences in visitor perceptions of park conservation efforts …
Measuring the perceived impacts of tourism
Tourism brings with it several positive and negative impacts on destination communities. However, the real impacts of tourism are different from residents’ perspectives, which are shaped by multiple factors. The literature asserted a need for a more resident-oriented evaluation of tourism impacts, and this study aimed to develop and validate a scale to measure residents’ perceptions of tourism impacts following the inductive scale development pro…
The well-being impacts of tourism
Well-being is considered one of the highest values in human life. Although previous studies have discussed the tourists’ well-being outcomes, the impact of tourism on residents’ happiness has received less empirical attention in tourism research. This study aims to explore the effects of tourism development on residents’ happiness in a group of countries by using panel data analysis. The results demonstrate that tourism arrivals negatively influe…
Leveraging accessible tourism development through mega-events, and the disability-attitude gap
Able-bodied, and increasingly people with disabilities, represent a key audience for mega-events; occasions that act as crucibles where social problems endemic to host destinations can be exposed and tackled through targeted social policy. Drawing on the social model of disability, the paper examines how Japan utilised Tokyo 2020 as a field configuring event to disrupt systems of ableist thinking and tackle physical and attitudinal barriers restr…
A framework to identify destination vulnerability to hazards
We posit that destination vulnerability is the result of chronic conditions whose root causes lie dormant in plain sight, yet rear their ugly head during every crisis. This interdisciplinary review is motivated by the central research question: why do some destinations suffer more acute impacts in the same or similar crises than other destinations? While the paper falls short of providing a satisfactory answer, it reviews concepts such as resilie…

Social representations of space travel
Using Social Representations Theory, the current study modeled different information sources, “anchoring” of space travel, “objectification” of space travel and their influences on attitude towards, support for, and attractiveness of space travel using data from 474 respondents. PLS‐SEM revealed that negative anchors related to space travel influence negative attitude while the objectification of SpaceX, Virgin Galactic, and Tesla influence the p…
The role of occupational therapy in accessible tourism
From Online Community to Offline Travel Companions
This article explores how cycling tourists build trust in the process of transition from online community to offline travel companions. It uses data collected from participant observation and interviews of a cycling tourist group in China. The findings indicate that after building a social circle in an online community, the members of the “community” build trust by: identifying travel companions’ attitudes, values, knowledge, and experiences to b…

Co-Creation and Well-Being in Tourism
Case study
This article examines the scope of well-being as a focus for tourism and its potential as a tool for small business development, particularly the opportunities for tourism entrepreneurs in coastal resorts. The study reports an example of public engagement by a research team and the co-creation of research knowledge with businesses to assist in business development by adapting many existing features of tourist resorts and extending their offer to …
Progress in tourism and destination wellbeing research
A proliferation of research in recent years has revealed a myriad of relationships between tourism and the concept of wellbeing. These include health benefits of visiting tourist destinations, a product focus on wellness and maintaining good health. Broader interpretations emphasize the complex ways in which tourism can influence the emotional, psychological, cognitive and spiritual dimensions of wellbeing, both for tourists and for destination c…

It assesses sports events through the lens of both sports participants and spectators, based on three primary themes: impacts, experiences and identities. The first section of the book contributes to the future development of knowledge by analyzing the impact of sport events and their legacies from economic, environm…

International Perspectives of Festivals and Events
Events have always enjoyed a special role in the celebration and demarcation of local and national cultures. More recently, with contemporary increases in leisure time and discretionary spending, governments and tourism organisations have adopted events as strategic means to international marketing and the promotion of a particular image. Events have also become an increasingly important aspect of a destination’s tourism product, acting as an add…

Managing World Heritage Sites
The aim of this chapter is to explore the complex relationship between World Heritage Sites (WHS) and temporary festivals and events, analysing some of the impacts and implications of staging ‘ephemeral’ arts projects in the context of ‘timeless’ heritage environments. While the physical impacts of visitation to both World Heritage Sites and festivals have been well documented in recent years, this chapter also seeks to consider some of the more …

Heritage Visitor Attractions
Heritage visitor attractions represent an integral component of the tourism product in many countries. This is particularly so in Scotland, where visitor attractions of a heritage genre continue to attract more visitors than others. However, with varying types of ownership, funding and organisational objectives, many unrelated to tourism, the management of heritage visitor attractions is particularly challenging. Based on a recent primary researc…
Researching the Management of Visitor Attractions
The paucity of literature in the field of visitor attractions, combined with the virtual vacuum of literature on international comparative research methodologies in tourism generally, and more specifically within the visitor attractions sector, together serve as the catalytic focus for this paper. Where studies have been completed on visitor attractions in the international arena, they have often been practitioner-led and lack the depth of analys…
