When virality meets vulnerability
Viral overtourism driven by short-video platforms has rapidly transformed many urban destinations, yet its relationship with ecological resilience (ER) remains insufficiently understood. This is particularly relevant for China’s Internet-famous cities (IFCs), whose ecosystems were not originally designed to accommodate large-scale tourism flows. This study examines the nonlinear correlation of tourism disturbances on ER in IFCs using an explainab…
Between authenticity and innovation
Against the global shift toward high-quality tourism development, the coordinated evolution between high-quality development of ethnic tourism (HQDET) and digital innovation (DI) is increasingly critical for regional development. This study examines the spatio-temporal evolution patterns and coordination states of HQDET and DI in representative ethnic regions of western China from 2013 to 2022. This study employs the Super-SBM DEA, TOPSIS, and Co…
Advancing SDGs 2 and 8 Through Tourism
Tourism market participation (TMP) is increasingly promoted as a pathway for sustainable rural development, yet evidence on its nutritional benefits and the institutional conditions shaping these outcomes remains limited. This study investigates the association between TMP and household nutritional intake among rural households in Ghana and tests whether government support moderates this link, drawing on institutional theory. Using household surv…
Sustainable Tourism Development Through Clean Energy Access
Sustainable tourism development in Asia Pacific developing economies increasingly depends on reliable and inclusive access to modern energy, yet the extent to which clean energy access (CEA) translates into tourism growth may depend on the quality of governance. This study investigates how governance, captured by six institutional quality indicators, conditions the relationship between CEA, proxied by clean cooking fuels and technologies (CCT) an…
A Gateway to SDG‐3
This study, motivated by Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 3) to ensure healthy lives for all age groups, examines the moderating effect of institutional quality (characterized by rule of law, control of corruption, government effectiveness, voice and accountability, political stability, and regulatory quality) in the tourism development‐life expectancy relationship across five BRICS countries from 1996 to 2023. Using fixed effects with Driscoll–…
Travel by Chinese
This paper applies Generational Cohort Theory to gain a deeper understanding of attitudes towards, importance of and actual travel patterns displayed by four generations of people who live in central China. Travel was not part of the value set of the Republican and Lost Generations and as such they travel rarely and continue to see travel as unimportant. Values began to change in the Transition Generation, where members of this cohort begin to ga…
The metaphor of sadness
This paper presents a sensory ethnography of an ethnic Hakka specialty known as 'Luodai Bean Jelly' (or the Sad Bean Jelly) in Luodai Ancient Town in the suburban area to the east of Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China. From the perspectives of objectivity, historicity, modernity and sociality, the metaphorical meanings of the Sad Bean Jelly as an ethnic food used for the transformation of a place through tourism are explored. Individual feelings an…
