This paper seeks to determine whether approximations can be found between tourists’ destination image and van Gogh’s The Starry Night which may suggest this artwork’s influence on visitors’ image of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where it was painted. A novel approach, comparing a semiotic analysis of the artwork with a content analysis of visitors’ answers to a survey (N=205), is used to identify approximations and divergences between artwork and image…
Word-of-art
Destination image is a prominent topic in tourism research. While art’s importance in marketing has been highlighted by some authors ever since Gartner (1994) included it in his taxonomy of image formation agents, a systematic literature review on the relationship between art and destination image is still lacking. This paper thus explores this relationship through a qualitative systematic literature review of Scopus-indexed research published be…
Souvenirs in Tourism Studies
Among the most common cultural tourism consumption practices is the purchase of products as souvenirs, frequently acquired as symbols of local heritage and extension of memorable tourist experiences, and sometimes as gifts permitting a sharing of those experiences. These items are complex, diverse, and multidimensional in their nature, format, and meanings. This article contributes to the debate of the role of souvenirs within tourism, through a …
Co-creation of food tourism experiences
Gastronomy has become a distinctive tourism product with the potential of contributing to visitors’ engaged immersion in destinations. Few studies have reflected on visitors’ perceptions of participation in food tour experiences, and research on co-creation in food tours is even more scarce. This study analyses co-creative tourism experience dimensions, previously identified in the literature, through a passive netnography, involving 658 online t…
Co-creative tourism experiences – a conceptual framework and its application to food & wine tourism
Travel has become a synonym of living memorable and enjoyable experiences. Co-creation centralizes tourists’ role in the creation of value that results from the interaction with other destination stakeholders and the physical environment. Within the wider destination experience, the growing interest tourists show regarding the food and wine experience is notorious, due to its distinctive, multisensory and engaging nature. However, conceptual and …
Enhancing Competences For Co-Creating Appealing and Meaningful Cultural Heritage Experiences in Tourism
Co-creation in tourism is a powerful way of developing involving and meaningful experiences of services, places, and cultures that tourists have contact with when traveling. Cultural heritage should thus not only attract the passive “tourist gaze” but rather stimulate the curious visitor to engage creatively with this heritage in ways that cultural heritage providers may creatively imagine. This is easier to say than do. This article discusses th…
Place attachment through sensory-rich, emotion-generating place experiences in rural tourism
Sub-national consumer ethnocentrism and the importance of the origin of food products
Purpose This study's main objective is to analyse the role of the consumer's ethnocentrism as a potential segmentation basis and to detect product origin-sensitive groups. The relationship between the consumer's regional ethnocentrism, local and regional identity and corresponding valuation and purchase of food products from a region is also examined. Design/methodology/approach The responses of 358 consumers residing in two Spanish regions are a…
Spatiotemporal tourist behaviour in urban destinations
Empirical research focusing on time–space tourist activity has increased in recent years, since new technological tools make it possible as never before to accurately track tourists' movements. Nonetheless, the published studies are inconsistent when assessing spatiotemporal tourist behaviour (STTB), hindering the development of a solid research base that permits replication of and comparison amongst studies. The incipient conceptualization of ST…

Rural tourism
This paper charts the evolution of rural tourism in the developed world as an alternative tourism form, popular since the 1970s with the market and with policy makers as a rural regeneration and conservation tool. It outlines parallels with the Butler tourism area life cycle: emergence; volume growth, complexity and geographical spread; followed by problems arising from increasing competition, lack of governance and leadership, societal change an…
Social tourism programmes for the senior market
The senior market has gained increasing interest from the tourism industry, mainly because of its considerable size and time flexibility. However, seniors are also a group facing many constraints to participating in tourism, which has led some countries to promote social tourism programmes for this market. However, little is known about the success of these programmes, while research showing the benefits derived by participants would be useful to…
Contributions of tourism to social inclusion of persons with disability
Tourism, although a relevant part of the modern lifestyle in economically more developed countries, is even in these countries not accessible to all, with particular barriers existing for persons with disabilities. These barriers are not only physical, but also internal, cultural and social. Tourism and leisure have revealed many benefits for individuals with a disability, enhancing personal development, quality of life, recovery and contribution…
