Theorizing leisure speech communities from the serious leisure and social worlds perspectives
Serious leisure and sociolinguistics: English-speaking homebrewers in South Korea and their leisure speech community
Increasing global mobilities bring more non-native speakers into new countries where they face obstacles in establishing successful acculturation and leisure lifestyles. Leisure and acculturation are attracting limited research interest, but serious leisure's role in assisting new arrivals in overcoming social and language challenges when they establish amateur, hobby or volunteer careers is unknown. This study explores that research gap by exami…

Using qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews this paper explores how serious leisure homebrewing helped 18 long-stay non-native professionals in South Korea nurture leisure sociability among fellow brewers and Korean family, co-workers, and the broader community. Findings point out they made friendships by involving interested social contacts in brewing techniques and sharing beers at home, and by volunteering for brewing classes, bot…
Higher skilled working tourists and their leisure lifestyles: A qualitative study of guest language instructors in South Korea
Using interviews conducted with 24 higher skilled working tourists employed as guest language instructors in the Republic of Korea, this paper explores how working tourists could secure an optimal leisure lifestyle in their host countries. Three key findings emerged. First, the respondents were seeking casual, touristic, amateur, hobby and volunteer leisure with their colleagues and with their host community members. But, the rewards and episodic…
The Role of Identity Salience in the Leisure Behavior of Film Festival Participants: The Case of the Busan International Film Festival
This paper examines several central constructs regarding leisure behaviors and the dynamic relationships among these key variables to develop a social psychological model that explains participation at the Busan International Film Festival. Moreover, by examining identity salience (IS), this study develops a comprehensive socio-psychological model for film festival participation. Using data from the Busan International Film Festival participants,…
A Buddhist Temple and Its Users: The Case of Bulguksa in South Korea
Buddhist temples are emblematic of many Asian countries in their tourism promotions, but little is known about how monks, laypeople, guides, and local or foreign tourists experience these religious heritage sites. In late developed and developing Asian countries these Buddhist sites fulfil complex social and symbolic roles involving differing functions and expectations. But how these temples can fulfil these complex demands and avoid becoming sim…
The impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions for 2009 H1N1 influenza on travel intentions: A model of goal-directed behavior
Thanatourism or peace tourism: Perceived value at a North Korean resort from an indigenous perspective
This paper examines the underlying factors that affected perceived value among South Korean tourists who visited the North Korean Mt Kumgang resort. Results identified emotional, functional and economic values as core elements that directly affected guest satisfaction, which influenced intentions to recommend and revisit. Seen as a peace tourism site when the Sunshine Policy of rapprochement guided inter‐Korean strategy, we argue that the resort …
The centrality of service organizations and their leisure networks
This study examines a network of community groups and the civic, commercial, and educational organizations involved with amateur artists in a regional Australian city. Social network analysis using measures for density, centrality, centralization, and cliques revealed that the groups and the organizations formed several clusters around types of creative artists and that service organizations were the communication hubs in the network. Recommendat…
The Impact of Visa-free Entry on Outbound Tourism: A Case Study of South Korean Travellers Visiting Japan
Although visa-free entry is important to tourism flows across borders there has been limited academic research into the effects of this arrangement on international tourism demand. Using the ARIMA, the ARIMA intervention, Winters Exponential Smoothing and the Stepwise Autoregressive models, this study examined the effect of visa-free entry on tourism demand between South Korea and Japan, and estimated the impact of this visa-free travel on touris…
Mixed Serious Leisure and Grassroots Organizational Capacity: A Study of Amateur Artist Groups in a Regional Australian City
This exploratory research used qualitative data from semi-structured interviews conducted with spokespeople from grassroots associations of artists who described their role, personal rewards and costs involved from fulfilling a leadership role within their group. By becoming leaders in their groups, they enjoyed community and individual benefits, accepted costs on their time and finances and persevered with demands based on their people skills. B…
Network Density, Centrality, and Communication in a Serious Leisure Social World
Little is known about the network structures formed by grassroots associations and allied organisations involved in serious leisure social worlds. Generally, research into serious leisure has focused upon the individual, mainly in amateur sports, some hobbies, and a few career volunteer activities. This paper reports a structural view of a social world network of 49 social actors comprised of the grassroots associations and allied organisations e…
