Understanding Formation and Impact of Tourism Affinity on Destination Perceptions Using Construal Level Theory and the Medusa Effect
This study investigates the formation and impact of tourist affinity on destination perceptions, employing construal level theory (CLT) and the Medusa effect (ME), a psychological concept in visual communication. Focusing on Japanese affinity towards Taiwan and the United States, the research explores how familiarity and perceived closeness shape affinity and influence tourists' intention to visit. Studies 1–2 reveal the intricate interplay betwe…
Guiding pro-environmental behaviour
Food consumption represents a substantial share of tourism’s global CO2 emissions. Yet, experimental research on reducing high-emission food choices among tourists is scarce. This study explores how cognitive and behavioural interventions affect the likelihood of choosing vegetarian dishes in hotel restaurants. The authors conducted covert field experiments using theory-informed menu designs to encourage vegetarian food choices. In two hotels, 64…
Darwin in the classroom
Researchers are making increasing use of an evolutionary perspective to understand the behaviors of tourists and residents, yet the implications of our evolved psychological mechanisms for classrooms and education remain underexplored. The purpose of this research is therefore to highlight and analyze the vast untapped potential of evolutionary psychology for tourism and hospitality education. The authors provide researchers and educators with a …
Does the travel career pattern model work for repeat tourists
Tourism researchers and practitioners have an interest in understanding tourists’ travel patterns, and one of the most used models applied to reach this goal is the seminal Travel Career Pattern (TCP) model. However, repeat tourism is underexplored and in the present research, the authors provide an initial investigation of repeat tourists using the TCP model. Based on survey data from 500 international tourists in India the present research foun…
Understanding and Employing Formative Constructs
While tourism researchers devote large efforts to justify and test the theoretical relationships between constructs, the links between items and their respective constructs receive very little deliberate attention. This is because the relationship between construct and item is, often incorrectly, assumed to be reflective, meaning that the measurement items reflect the construct. In contrast to reflective constructs, for formative constructs, meas…
Developing innovation capability in the hotel industry, who and what is important? A mixed methods approach
This study employs a sequential mixed methods design to examine the dynamic roles of leadership, customer orientation, and customer collaboration on the innovation capability and performance of Malaysian hotels. An exploratory qualitative assessment based on semi-structured interviews was conducted to provide a comprehensive understanding of the contextual environment and establish a robust conceptual framework. A confirmatory survey among Malays…
Place solidarity
Perceptions of institutional warmth and competence strongly associated with place solidarity. • Assumption that more positive predispositions lead to approach tendencies challenged. • Underscores importance of place solidarity in understanding tourism after natural disasters
The role of affinity and animosity on solidarity with Ukraine and hospitality outcomes
In times of war
A Bayesian non-parametric stochastic frontier model
Understanding the Covid-19 tourist psyche
Cultural heritage authenticity
The xenophobic tourist
On the origin of tourist behavior
Destination characteristics that drive hotel performance
Advancing destination image
Look at me—I am flying
Identifying and Ranking the Determinants of Tourism Performance
After a prolonged period of growth, driven, in part, by an increasing number of affluent consumers, the international tourism industry is now suffering the effects of a weaker world economy. These tougher market conditions have, in turn, led to increasing competition. As a result, countries, their tourism industries, and tourism businesses seek to improve the performance of the tourism industry and its constituents by vigorously promoting themsel…
