Emotions in Tourism: Theoretical Designs, Measurements, Analytics, and Interpretations
The theorization of emotion receives considerable attention in contemporary tourism literature. Remarkably, existing studies largely ignore the operationalization of emotion in tourism research. Drawing on extant knowledge from psychology, marketing, and tourism literatures, this article describes methodological and theoretical concerns and provides guidance for selecting highly useful-for-the-context (HUFTC) emotion measures. To help researchers…

This study uses netnography to examine how foreign visitors interpret the places, people, and situations that they experience while visiting Honolulu, Hawaii. Stories offering emic interpretations about destination experiences support McKee’s (2003) proposition that ‘inciting incidents’ throwing life out-of-balance serve as powerful stories. Travel blog reports from tourists visiting Hawaii from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Germany demonstrate surpr…
