An Analysis of Information Discrepancies Between Visitors’ Needs and Destination Websites Provisions and What Destination Management Can Do About It
Self‐interest, ethical and environmental considerations of air traveler weight policies
There is ongoing debate about whether airlines should charge passengers based on their weight. This study examines the ethics of three policies by surveying 1012 US air travelers: A Standard policy with a uniform price irrespective of the weight. A Threshold policy with a penalty if the body weight exceeds 160 pounds (72.6 kg). And a Unit‐of‐Body‐Weight policy with an individual price based on body and baggage weight. The study demonstrates level…
Making Sense of Fengshui and Customers’ Experiences of Hotel Room Stays
Despite the well-documented cultural importance of fengshui, little research has been carried out to provide a theoretically complex view of its impacts on customers’ experiences of hotel stays. This study explores customers’ perceptions of hotel rooms’ fengshui and seeks to make sense of links between the environment, fengshui beliefs and hotel-staying experiences. Under a qualitative paradigm, a vignette-induced interview approach was employed …
The Concept of Leisure among Chinese Older Adults
This study sought to explore what leisure means to some Chinese older adults using Chinese painting as a means of facilitating data collection. Thirty volunteer Chinese older adults were invited to participate in graphic-elicited interviews using Chinese paintings. The paintings presented or alluded to leisure through representations of connection to nature, social relationships, social prosperity, personal auspiciousness, and personal morality. …
Impacts of mobile payment‐related attributes on consumers' repurchase intention
Although website functionality and usability have gained much attention of previous research, along with the recent development of mobile payment, payment behavior of travelers has been gradually changed. Nevertheless, limited studies have investigated the impact of mobile payment‐related functionality and usability on consumers' hotel repurchase intention. Hence, this study developed a new research framework based on the website evaluation conce…
Are neighbour tourists more sensitive to crowding? The impact of distance on the crowding-out effect in tourism
The roles of social media in tourists’ choices of travel components
Social media are acknowledged as an important information source that influences tourists’ travel choices. However, qualitative studies that take an inductive approach to identify the roles of social media by investigating how social media affect travel choices are limited. By interviewing 21 tourists who had recently taken trips, this article aimed to identify the roles that social media played in the tourists’ choices of six travel components (…

The co-creation of host–guest relationships via couchsurfing
Online hospitality and traveller platforms have spawned novel formulas of hospitality for new networks of hosts and guests, including couchsurfers, who, while staying in the private homes of hosts, explore destinations while living as and with locals. As a growing phenomenon in the non-traditional accommodation sector, couchsurfing has attracted sustained attention in tourism, since, unlike traditional hospitality formulas and even non-traditiona…
A Retrospective Analysis and Future Trends of E-tourism Research in China

This study reviews 57 articles published in six leading international tourism journals, focusing on information and communications technology adoption in the tourism sector in China. Utilizing content and authorship analysis, we analyze the research trends and institutional …

Insights into Suspicious Online Ratings
Online ratings and online reputation management are becoming increasingly popular and important. With this increasing importance, attempts to manipulate online reviews through fake reviews have become more prevalent. Suspicious online reviews (ratings) exist on many e-commerce platforms, but these reviews have rarely been observed and reported as manipulation in academic studies using different test methods. In our research, we examine empirical …
Online Feedback and Attraction Management
The objective of this study was to identify the critical factors about which future visitors to attractions want information, based on online reviews. An NVivo-based content analysis was conducted using 4831 traveler reviews posted on Tripadvisor.com. In total, seven critical factors were identified: environment (e.g. hygiene and cleanliness); experience (e.g. being in good order, overcrowding); location and/or transportation (e.g. subways); pric…
Empire and Romance
Recent literature discusses movies and television as determinants of destinations' image formation influencing tourists' travel decisions. However, there still exists a lack of knowledge regarding the details of such screen-related influences on travel behaviour. This study attempts to shed light on these screen-related aspects and their role in influencing travel decisions and travel behaviour at the destination. In particular, it examines the r…
Destination Development and the Tourist Life-cycle
The so called 'new age of tourism' influenced the entrepreneurial paradigm considerably. The traditional model of mass tourism changed into a 'new tourism' which is presumably characterized by quality seeking customers with multi-optional needs, new production factors (such as information technologies), new business models and new management processes. The aim of this paper is to investigate the relvance of the tourist life-cycle model in derivin…
