Temples as immersive experiencescapes
Contemporary tourism geographies are increasingly oriented toward experiences that are emotionally resonant, personally tailored, and meaningful. Yet, amid China’s rapidly growing temple tourism among younger and young-adult visitors, limited understanding remains of how such experiences are personalised and made immersive through the interplay between social media and temple spaces. This qualitative study explores the motivations and lived exper…

Gendering knowledge in tourism
The tourism academy is a key site through which gender is produced, reproduced and, potentially, challenged. In this paper, we draw on Acker’s (1990 Acker, J. (1990). Hierarchies, jobs, bodies: A theory of gendered organizations. Gender & Society, 4(2), 139–158.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) concept of gendered organisations to present a case study of a tourism department preparing to apply for an international gender equality…

A critical consideration of Lego(R)Serious PLAY(R)methodology for tourism studies
In recent decade tourism researches turned their attention to creative qualitative methodologies to gain the deeper understandings of tourism phenomena.

Co-creating knowledge in tourism research using the Ketso method
Tourism scholars have called for critical engagement with transformational co-creative methodologies. Within this call, there is a need for researchers to be positioned as facilitators and co-creators; rather than lone experts. We provide a critical review of the Ketso method. Ketso is a facilitated ‘workshop in a bag’; a toolkit that enables people to think and work together. Ketso can be used for data collection and as a supplementary analysis …
Femininities in the Field. Tourism and Transdisciplinary Research

The book edited by two inspirational female academics aims to present lived experiences of female researchers during the data collection phase in the field of tourism studies. “The…
