The Role of Well‐Being and Quality of Life in Shaping Chinese Residents' Support for Rural Tourism
Grounded in positive psychology, this study integrates Social Exchange Theory (SET) with well‐being and quality of life (QOL) perspectives to examine the mechanisms shaping Chinese rural residents' support for tourism development. A cross‐sectional survey was conducted across five rural regions in China, yielding 879 completed responses that were analyzed using structural equation modelling (SEM). The findings reveal that community attachment, in…

This research focuses on understanding the attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control of hotel managers’ intentions regarding future crisis planning. To enhance the TPB model, the study incorporates two additional variables: perceived ris…
Hitting the jackpot
Forecasting casino hotel stock prices are strategically important to key stakeholders making investment decisions. However, there is a paucity of studies that have examined the impact of macro-economic variables, sector-specific variables and firm-specific variables on casino stock returns. This research fills a research gap by examining the predictability of Australian casino hotel stock returns. The forecasting of casino hotel stock prices was …
Transforming Hospitality Workforces Through Adaptive Human Resource Management
A complex adaptive system analysis of emerging tourism work paradigms
This conceptual paper offers a novel conceptual analysis of emerging work paradigms that have the potential to reshape the tourism professions, underscoring the need for a comprehensive perspective. It emphasises the necessity of examining the increasingly complex tourism professions through the lens of Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS). Additionally, we examine how a CAS analysis of tourism work paradigms can be effectively conducted. First, five f…
Preparing tourism, hospitality and events graduates to be industry ready
Authentic learning is a critical pedagogy and curriculum requirement in higher education to better prepare students for future workforce requirements. As such, educators adopt a range of authentic learning tasks such as work-integrated learning, industry reports, and field trips to enable student engagement in current industry issues. Although such actions are practical and have valuable impact on students, there has been little effort to narrow …
Showcasing Leximancer in tourism and hospitality research
This study showcases how the Leximancer program can be used to review Leximancer-based research published in tourism and hospitality journals during 2014-2020. Along with a Leximancer-generated concept map, a new tags' association visual analysis was also performed. This innovative method of analysis is a key contribution, as past Leximancer studies in hospitality and tourism have predominantly relied on thematic analysis only. An Insight Dashboa…
Integrating authentic assessment tasks in work integrated learning hospitality internships
Internship as part of work-integrated learning (WIL) is a critical curriculum component in higher education to better prepare for the future workforce. To assess WIL, educators typically select authentic assessments such as reflective journals and managerial reports to solve existing workplace problems. Despite the academic discourse supporting the use of internships, a paucity of studies has investigated the role of formal assessments embedded i…
Walking Off-Trail in National Parks
This study extended the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to embrace the pro-environmental construct in predicting visitor off-trail behavioral intentions at national parks. Quantitative questionnaire items were developed through an elicitation study and empirically tested among 325 respondents. Empirical results revealed overall predictive variance of 21.7 percent (R2) in predicting visitor off-trail intentions. Behavioral beliefs predicted most …
Lessons from the Departed
Traveling to die in another country is a morbid, but pertinent, topic that remains underresearched in tourism. This project aims to address this research gap by examining the underlying motivations of actual individual travelers who have travelled to Switzerland as their final life destination to commit physician-assisted suicide (PAS). Using documentaries from major news channels, content analysis was conducted to systematically examine intervie…

Design/methodology/approach Using in-depth personal interviews with 26 F&B managers, this study employed the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) to explain F&B managers' intentions towards implementing food wastage initiatives. Fi…
Rethinking game consumption in tourism
© 2020, © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. This opinion piece highlights a lethal connection between novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) and wildlife consumption in tourism. While NCP continues to make headlines in the mainstream media, little academic research has considered this illness, especially through the lens of food neophilic tourism. Yet this research stream requires attention, particularly because food is a key…
Personal norms and the adoption of pro-environmental binning behaviour in national parks
A pro-environmental behaviour to solve the problem of litter management in the national parks is binning. This study is the first to explore the factors affecting an individual’s binning behaviour in the context of a national park. Drawing on theories with self-interest (i.e. theory of planned behaviour) and other-interest/pro-social (i.e. norm-activation model) motives, an integrated structural model of binning behaviour (IMB) was developed. Our…
Effects of perceived constraints and negotiation on learned helplessness
Breaking the rules to venture off-trail at national parks
This research unpacked the salient beliefs towards the problematic behaviour of breaking the rules and walking off-trail at national parks. A systematic elicitation study was conducted through qualitative interviews (n = 27) comprising of 22 visitors, and five park administrators at the Blue Mountains National Park, NSW, Australia. Grounded on the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) as the theoretical lens, the interviews elicited five behavioural …
Physician-assisted suicide travel constraints
Constraints to participating in leisure activities have been studied extensively. Yet given the sensitive nature of death and death-related topics, little effort has been invested in understanding travel constraints that limit people’s decisions to engage in physician-assisted suicide travel. As this form of travel is a relatively new area of interest in the tourism literature, this study investigates the public’s perceptions of physician-assiste…
Travel constraint perceptions of people with mobility disability
This research examines how different socio-demographic and travel characteristics influence the perceptions of travel constraints of people with mobility disability. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research conducted a questionnaire survey with 157 Sichuan Earthquake survivors who suffer from different levels of mobility disability, supplemented by 22 semi-structured interviews. Findings revealed that age, education, income, and marital statu…
Non-compliance in national parks
Environmental knowledge and behavioural outcomes of tourism students in Australia
Our study examines the environmental knowledge (EK) and behavioural outcomes of students studying ecotourism in Sydney, Australia. Three competing models were tested to examine the relationships between EK, participation intention (PI) in ecotourism programs, landscape likeability (LL) and social interactions (SI); and the study also tested the moderated mediation influence of gender differences and relationship length on mediators. Partial least…
The United States in Asia
As the focus of U.S. military attention shifts away from the Middle East and Central Asia, Washington's geopolitical weathervane appears now to point firmly towards East Asia. Given the Obama administration's recent high-profile political ‘pivot back’ to the region, and against the context of the upcoming Presidential campaign, the two books under review here shed helpful light on American concerns and raise urgent questions about U.S. strategy i…
Institutions and the great power bargain in East Asia
This article argues that in the post-Cold War strategic transition in East Asia, ASEAN has helped to create a minimalist normative bargain among the great powers in the region. The regional norms propagated through the ‘ASEAN way’, emphasizing sovereignty, non-intervention, consensus, inclusion, and informality were extremely important in the initial stages of bringing the great powers – especially China and the United States – to the table in th…
Hierarchy and the role of the United States in the East Asian security order
To construct a coherent account of East Asia's evolving security order, this article treats the United States not as an extra-regional actor, but as the central force in constituting regional stability and order. It proposes that there is a layered regional hierarchy in East Asia, led by the United States, with China, Japan, and India constituting layers underneath its dominance. The major patterns of equilibrium and turbulence in the region sinc…
