Promoting sustainable tourism with a decision support system during cost-of-living crises
The cost-of-living crisis directly affects eco-conscious tourists’ behaviors, leading to reduced consumption of green products and services. In response to these crises, tourists may have to prioritise more affordable, non-green alternatives. Economic crises are recurrent, disrupting the sustainability agenda for decision makers, businesses and tourists. To address this challenge, this study proposes a multicriteria decision-making framework for …
Halal Tourism and Global Consumer Culture: A New Model of Cultural Transformation
The present study discusses the interplay between local and global consumer cultures (GCC) in the context of changing travel behavior in Muslim communities. It evaluates the occurrence of halal tourism and articulates a cultural transformation process specific to the halal tourism ecosystem through the lens of acculturation theory. Existing literature on acculturation theory, GCC, and halal tourism is critically assessed, with a cross‐evaluation …
The impact of online atmosphere on virtual visit experience, healing effects and mental well-being: A mixed methods approach
Purpose Virtual exploration has emerged as a promising option to enhance individuals' mental well-being amid growing mental health challenges. This article tests a conceptual model that examines the effects of virtual exploration's online atmosphere (OA) on users' mental well-being. It also investigates changes in users' perceptions and behavioral intentions associated with well-being improvement. Design/methodology/approach This article adopts a…
Promoting sustainable events engagement: A cross-country analysis
Echoes of tragedy: How negative social media shapes tourist emotions and avoidance intensions? A multi-methods approach
Medical tourism index and travel willingness via travel anxiety: PLS-NCA approach
This empirical research developed a conceptual model to predict medical tourists' willingness to travel in the post-pandemic era. The paper employed complexity theory to assess the complex role of medical tourism index (MTI) dimensions on tourist willingness through travel anxiety. Data were gathered using a questionnaire-based survey and analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) and necessary condition analysis…
Travel market maven in a traditional marketplace
Market mavenism enhances the economic impacts of tourism. Using a convergent parallel mixed‐methods design, first, a quantitative study tests a conceptual model supported by goal‐setting theory to stimulate market mavenism in the traditional marketplace. Quantitative data are used to apply structural equation modeling and analysis of necessity to assess the sufficiency and necessity of market maven antecedents, respectively. The effect of nationa…
Unpacking the complexity of cultural distance in inbound and outbound tourism: A case‐oriented approach
Due to limitations in mainstream symmetric methodologies, the linkages between cultural dimensions and tourism demand have yet to be fully understood. Drawing on Hofstede's theory of national culture and adopting the asymmetric and case‐oriented fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis method, this investigation explored configuration models of cultural distance between 65 countries in relation to China's inbound and outbound tourism flows. Usi…
Consumer emotions and behaviors: Double moderation of sign value and source market
Purpose The contribution of this study is two-fold. First, we draw on attribution theory to develop a model for predicting how the knowledge, emotions, and satisfaction that consumers have regarding halal cosmetics can influence their willingness to pay more and recommend the products to others. Design/methodology/approach Survey data from 278 Indonesian and 163 Malaysian female consumers were analyzed by means of structural equation modeling. Se…
An integrative framework to evaluate impacts of complex tourism change initiatives
How do prosperity and aspiration underlie leisure tourism expenditure patterns
This research advances the current knowledge of tourism expenditure by adapting a new analytical approach to understand expenditure differentials along their conditional distributions, based on multiple segmentation criteria. Using data from survey and secondary sources, we approximate tourists’ required utilities via prosperity at their countries of residence, a macro-level criterion, and individual-travel aspirations, a micro-level criterion. S…
Towards advancing theory and methods on tourism development from residents’ perspectives: Developing a framework on the pathway to impact
This study argues that method should work hand-in-hand with theory to be able to generate impactful outcomes. This study provides three methodological, theoretical and practical contributions to the current body of knowledge on tourism development from residents’ perspective. First, five analytical approaches—namely, covariance based-structural equation modelling (CB-SEM), partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM), multiple re…
Climate change and pro-sustainable behaviors: Application of Nudge Theory
This empirical study uses nudge theory to develop conceptual models to predict the pro-sustainable behaviors of visitors. Two sets of antecedents, including the destination level (i.e. destination social responsibility [DSR]) and the individual level (climate change perception), were used as configurations to stimulate the pro-sustainable behavioral intentions of visitors in terms of willingness to sacrifice, eco-behaviors, and localism. The prop…
Sustainable intelligence and cultural worldview as triggers to preserve heritage tourism resources
This empirical study examines residents' decision-making process in preserving Jeju Batdam as a World Agricultural Heritage Site. Accordingly, it extends the model of goal-directed behavior (MGB) by including cultural worldview and sustainable intelligence as triggers of desire and behavioral intentions of residents to preserve the agricultural heritage tourism resources. This study collected 368 valid responses from residents using quota samplin…

Sexual harassment, psychological well-being, and job satisfaction of female tour guides: The effects of social and organizational support
Drawing on the Conservation of Resources Theory (COR), and a gender perspective, this study proposes and tests a conceptual model postulating relationships between sexual harassment, burnout, perceived social and organizational support, psychological well-being, and job satisfaction. A survey of Turkish female tour guides resulted in 221 valid questionnaires. The results reveal that female tour guides’ sexual harassment experience has a negative …

Airbnb and taxation: Developing a seasonal tax system
This study applies tax planning theory to develop a seasonal tax strategy as an alternative to a fixed tax rate for shared lodging platforms such as Airbnb, to increase hosts’ revenue and to address seasonality in tourism. The annual revenue of the various types of accommodation is used to calculate a seasonality index by the moving average method, which is incorporated as a corrected coefficient in a seasonal tax formula. The sample includes dat…
Hotels’ sustainability practices and guests’ familiarity, attitudes and behaviours
This study investigates the effects of hotel’s sustainability practices in three areas of sustainability and familiarity with those practices on hotel guest satisfaction and loyalty in the Kazakhstan hotel industry. Using a structural equation modelling (SEM) and fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA), findings reveal that social and environmental dimensions play positive roles on guests’ satisfaction and loyalty while the economic di…

Tourism climate insurance: Implications and prospects
This paper investigates the intentions of tourists to purchase climate insurance as part of their holiday packages. A research model, based on Bagozzi’s reformulation of attitude theory designed to examine the relationships between climate expectation-disconfirmation and the behavioral intentions of tourists in purchasing tourism climate insurance, with destination loyalty as an outcome. The model hypothesizes and tests whether expectation-discon…

Configurational Models to Predict Residents’ Support for Tourism Development
This empirical study developed and tested configural models for predicting residents’ support for tourism development (RSTD). The main contributions of this study are to propose a new analytical method for modeling the complex interactions of RSTD indicators, advancing the necessary theory to support both the ordinary and heterogonous relationships of RSTD and its antecedents, providing managerial guidelines for both promoting RSTD and controllin…
