Tourism, ethics, and consumer politics
Whose tensions? Mapping stakeholder conflict perceptions in rural destinations
Rural tourism can support livelihood diversification, yet conflicting stakeholder interests often limit its benefits. Drawing on conflict theory, this study uses Q methodology to examine how stakeholders in Iranian rural destinations perceive such conflicts. Findings reveal four distinct patterns: local communities and managers stress cultural, environmental, and economic tensions; tourists and business owners highlight socio-cultural and governa…
Travel boycotts and symbolic rebordering
Borders in tourism are commonly understood through territorial control and state regulation, yet contemporary mobility is increasingly shaped through non-state forms of power. This paper develops a conceptual framework that explains how travel boycotts operate as practices of symbolic rebordering within tourism. Drawing on border studies, Foucauldian governmentality, and Bourdieu’s theory of practice and concept of symbolic power, the study shows…
The justice–empowerment nexus
As the pursuit of sustainability increasingly calls for social inclusion and equity, this study examines how social justice shapes community empowerment in tourism destinations. Although justice is central to sustainable development discourse, limited empirical understanding exists of how its dimensions collectively influence empowerment. Focusing on the tourism across three major tourism destinations, Australia, the UK, and the USA, the research…
What counts as grounded theory in tourism research
Phygital Arctic – rethinking Arctic tourism through digitalization
Arctic tourism is increasingly shaped by Arctification, a process through which stereotypical representations of the Arctic as a remote, snow-covered wilderness are attached through tourism and related imaginaries, practices, and products to places that were not previously considered as being Arctic. These representations can contribute to homogenization, and constrained development pathways. While sustainability needs have been widely examined i…
Negotiating Ethics
Research on Gen Z often presents them as ethically conscious consumers, yet little is known about how moral intentions translate into practice under real constraints. Existing studies seldom address how economic limits, emotional strain, and social expectations shape the contradictions of ethical and political consumption among this cohort. This study examines these issues through semi‐structured interviews with a sample of Gen Z tourists in a de…
Women entrepreneurs as cultural custodians in tourism
This study, grounded in social feminism theory, examines how women entrepreneurs in Cyprus use tourism enterprises to preserve and transmit cultural knowledge. Drawing on 26 semi-structured interviews, the research examines how participants balance economic goals with cultural responsibilities. The analysis identifies five interrelated themes, cultural identity, integration, advocacy, collaboration, and resilience, that inform a conceptual framew…
Unpacking women's tourism work in a sanctioned destination
This study examines how international economic sanctions reshape women's work and livelihoods in Iran's tourism sector through the theoretical lens of feminist political economy. Drawing on interviews conducted in two phases around 2018 and again in 2024, the study unveils how sanction pressures operate across macro, meso , and micro levels, giving rise to three interrelated processes: gendered economic scarring , whereby sanctions deepen women's…
Theorizing wounded destinations
Proposes the concept of wounded destinations to rethink tourism-related harms • Shows how tourism creates material , affective , and mnemonic forms of woundedness • Illustrates how acknowledging woundedness can reshape tourism toward fairness and care • Outlines rules against “ wound-washing ” to link recognition with real material repair
The role of inferred motive in shaping tourists’ reactions to intentional failures
Intentional failures, which refer to purposeful transgressions by the organisation or its employees against customers, are common across different industries including tourism, yet there is a lack of research on tourists’ perceptions and reactions to such failures. Using an experimental approach, we find that compared with unintentional failures, tourists are more sensitive to intentional failures as they lead to significantly higher electronic n…
Enhancing Sustainable Rural Tourism Through Memorable Experiences
The preservation of natural and cultural assets in rural destinations, while providing memorable experiences to tourists, has become a crucial concern for policymakers and destination management organizations. This study employed a means‐end chain (MEC) approach to explore how tourists' memorable experiences align with the core principles of sustainable tourism development in rural destinations. The analysis of the collected data from multiple ca…
From the “University of Travel” to the “University of Hosting”
Existing tourism research often centers on active travelers, overlooking those who participate through hosting, especially in contexts where international mobility is restricted. This study draws on bottom‐up spillover and vicarious experience theories to examine the experiences of Iranian Couchsurfing hosts whose ability to travel abroad is constrained by gendered restrictions, passport limitations, flight bans, and sanctions. Based on in‐depth …
Bridging the Green Marketing Communication Gap
This study investigates the gap between how hotels present their sustainability efforts (projected green image) and how guests perceive them (perceived green image). Drawing on signaling theory and using a multiple‐case approach, we combined content and sentiment analysis to examine communication strategies and guest responses. The findings reveal frequent misalignments: some practices are promoted but not noticed (greenwashing risk), while other…
Moral and Non‐Moral Drivers of Tourists' Pro‐Environmental Behaviour Toward Captive Wildlife
Animals are frequently overexploited in ecotourism, reflecting tension between economic gain and animal welfare. Research has largely centered on tourists' pro‐environmental behaviour, with limited attention to its impact on wildlife. This study addresses that gap by applying the norm activation model and the theory of interpersonal behaviour, incorporating interpretation as an added variable to explain human‐animal interactions. A quantitative s…
Travel Virtual Assistant or Untrusted Advisor? Developing a Typology of Resistance to AI ‐Generated Travel Advice
Many travelers remain hesitant to rely on generative AI for travel planning, despite its growing presence in tourism services. While most existing studies emphasize adoption, this study shifts attention to the relatively underexplored issue of resistance. Drawing on Innovation Resistance Theory (IRT) and qualitative data from a developing country, we identify five core barriers to AI‐generated travel advice: usage, value, risk, image, and traditi…
Emotional Values and Environmentally Responsible Travel Among Generation Z
This study examines how Generation Z's terminal and instrumental values, shaped by emotional attachment to nature, influence their environmentally responsible travel behaviors (ERTB) in India. Drawing on the Value‐Belief‐Norm (VBN) theory and employing the Rokeach Value Survey, the research examines how value orientations and emotional factors, particularly love for nature, motivate sustainable travel choices. Data were collected through an onlin…
Exploring the dynamics of tourist travel intention before and during the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted travel intentions and behaviour, prompting a reevaluation of existing theories and frameworks in the tourism field, but there is currently no comprehensive synthesis of the factors influencing travel intention before and during the pandemic. To close this research gap, this scoping review explores various factors affecting travel intention both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, shedding light o…
Surviving crisis
Research on gender-related challenges within tourism entrepreneurship is expanding; however, scant attention has been paid to how women entrepreneurs build resilience during sustained periods of politico-economic crisis. This knowledge gap is particularly salient in developing countries, like Iran, which have endured prolonged international sanctions and subsequent economic hardship, where women also contend with the distinct obstacles of a ‘reli…
Exploring the role of religious belief and digital marketing on Gen Z tourists' boycott behaviour
Tourism, consent, and resistance
This study examines how hegemonic ideologies shape women's participation in tourism in a theocracy. Applying Gramsci's theory of hegemony and a critical poststructural feminist lens, it analyses how Iran's politico-religious structures influence women's roles, employment, and mobility in tourism. Qualitative findings reveal strategies of compliance, negotiation, and resistance expressed through entrepreneurship, networking, and workplace practice…
Tourism SMEs’ resilience strategies amidst the Covid-19 crisis
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), play a crucial role in the economy of every destination, particularly in developing countries. However, due to their size, limited resources, cash flow, and restricted access to risk-management tools, SMEs are often significantly impacted by crises. Therefore, gaining a deeper understanding of the resilience strategies they employ during and after a crisis is of paramount significance. The purpose of this stud…
Exploring parental risk perceptions in family travel in rural destinations
Family travel can offer an enjoyable and enriching experience for both parents and children, but it also comes with potential risks. Children's vulnerability is a significant concern during family trips, making it imperative for parents to address these risks.

This study sought to contribute to this extant knowledge gap by enhancing our understanding of the nature of cultural tourism experiences and the process by which they are formed. Through in-depth face-to-face interviews with 29 tourists in the cultura…
Covid-19 and international travel restrictions
In an effort to contain the advancement of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, many states have introduced unprecedented peacetime measures ranging from border closures and travel bans to the suspension of visa exemptions, as well as internal mobility restrictions, including full lockdowns and quarantine for incoming passengers. Nevertheless, coercive measures such as sanctions continue to be applied during the COVID-19 outbreak and have l…
Sanctions and tourism
Despite the growing use of sanctions as a post-Cold War foreign policy instrument, there is limited research on sanctions in a tourism context despite their substantial impact on destinations and tourist flows. Although there is significant research on sanctions in political science, international relations, economics, and public policy, very few studies explicitly examine the effect of sanctions on tourism. This study therefore examines the intr…
Determinants of generation Z pro-environmental travel behaviour
Generation Z (Gen Z) is widely considered the most eco-conscious generation. Nonetheless, there is a dearth of empirical research on this generation’s pro-environmental travel behaviour. To address this gap, the present research aims to investigate the interplay of values (egoistic, biospheric, altruistic) and ascribed responsibility in driving the pro-environmental travel behaviour of Gen Z through the moderating role of green consumption values…
Exploring the drivers of Gen Z tourists’ buycott behaviour
Generation Z (Gen Z) is the largest cohort of generational consumers worldwide and is perceived to show greater connectivity with political consumerism compared to older age cohorts. Nonetheless, there is a notable absence of empirical knowledge on key antecedents of Gen Z's engagement in tourism-related buycotting. Grounded in political and ethical consumerism literature and guided by lifestyle politics theory, this study aims to illuminate the …

Gen Z – pioneers or paradox in sustainable tourism
Frequently labeled the "greenest generation," research often portrays Generation Z (Gen Z) as a generation with strong pro-sustainability sensibilities. However, closer scrutiny exposes a disconnect between their stated intentions and actual behavior. This editorial reflection draws on the contributions to the Special Issue "Gen Z: The Sustainable Tourism Generation?" and a critical scoping review to question whether Gen Z can genuinely support a…
Breaking boundaries
While there's growing interest in gender and employment issues in tourism studies, a gap exists when examining the obstacles women face in career pursuits, especially in theocratic societies. Drawing on Risman's gender structure theory, this qualitative study investigates how Iranian women perceive the impact of gender power dynamics on their careers and those of their peers. The findings reveal inhibitory factors affecting women's quest for equa…

Tourism, peace and sustainability in sanctions-ridden destinations
Despite the widespread use of sanctions as a foreign policy tool in the absence of armed intervention and as a means to promote peace, there is notable absence of research on the effects of sanctions on the peacebuilding capacity of tourism and their relationship to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This situation is surprising given that both sanctions and tourism are promoted as a force for peace and reconciliation processes. Drawing up…
The gendered effects of statecraft on women in tourism
Despite sanctions being one of the most common and far-reaching forms of economic statecraft, there is a notable absence of research on the gendered effects of economic sanctions on women’s empowerment in general, and more particularly in relation to tourism. This is surprising given that the burden of economic sanctions is overwhelmingly felt by women due to their vulnerable socio-economic and political status in targeted countries. Drawing upon…
