Preregistration is not a panacea, but why? A rejoinder to “infusing preregistration into tourism research”
Beware of framework bias
Thriving for workers with disability in tourism
This manuscript challenges conventional workplace norms in tourism that continue to marginalise people with disability. Grounded in emancipatory and social justice perspectives, we apply a visual-based participatory method to critically explore how people with disability understand thriving and what enables them to thrive in the tourism workforce. Findings reveal that vitality, learning and dignity are three key dimensions of thriving at work. Co…

Early community recommendations for sustainable mega-events
Recommendations are a high form of community consultation, but rarely solicited in surveys of resident attitudes despite their potential to better inform planning and foster stronger event loyalty in an era of mega-event crisis. This paper innovates by identifying and structuring open-ended recommendations for the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games from host region residents 10 years prior to that mega-event. From an online survey of 897 respondents, 94…
Towards a typology of virtual tourists
Virtual tourism is rapidly emerging in prominence in contemporary tourism research. Previous studies tend to consider the virtual tourism population as a homogeneous entity, resulting in unintended consequences. Despite the ocular-centric nature within virtual environments, existing eye tracking studies have rarely classified virtual tourists into benefit-based segments, discounting the critical role of pre-existing visual patterns and associated…

Are water-centric themes in sustainable tourism research congruent with the UN Sustainable Development Goals
Although tourism is considered a vehicle for achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to eradicate poverty, protect the environment and facilitate social inclusion, limited empirical work has assessed the engagement of tourism literature with the associated 2030 Agenda. Water, both fresh and salt, is directly or indirectly implicated throughout the SDGs, and tourism both depends on clean water and exacerbates water problems. However,…
Towards a typology of virtual events
Despite the mounting prominence of COVID-induced virtual substitutes to face-to-face events, the boundaries and terminology between different types of virtual events have not been clearly defined. Theoretical misconceptions exist surrounding the diffusion of virtual reality and existing virtual events into the tourism, hospitality and events sectors, with conceptual ambiguity generating contention. Consequently, this paper develops a typology of …
Beyond Dutch Disease
In recent years, significant work has emerged exploring the relationship between tourism and mining. Generally, the relationship is considered to be negative, the result of crowding out of tourism during mining booms. However, the relationship is likely to be more complicated with mining affecting tourism both directly and indirectly. The indirect effects arise from the mediation role played by foreign direct investment (FDI), governance quality,…
Are we really progressing sustainable tourism research? A bibliometric analysis
Periodic assessment of the ‘state of play’ in research outputs is an essential process for gauging academic progress and latent trends within a field of study. Bibliometric analysis of 839 sustainable tourism-related papers over a thirty-year period (1987–2017), extracted from a selection of the top ranked tourism journals confirmed a lack of reticulation and integration among individual contributions, in part due to an exponential increase in ou…
Virtual reality and mixed reality for second chance tourism
Movement in tourism
The increasing reliance on data driven analytics is critiqued. • We know what tourists do, how long they spend doing things, but we do not know why. • Big data studies in tourism do not pay enough attention to the individual tourist. • We advocate for greater insights into the reasons for tourist decision making

Cognitive psychology and tourism research
Purpose This review aims to discuss concepts and theories from cognitive psychology, identifies tourism studies applying them and discusses key areas for future research. The paper aims to demonstrate the usefulness of cognitive psychology for understanding why tourists and particularly pleasure travellers demonstrate the behaviour they exhibit. Design/methodology/approach The paper reviews 165 papers from the cognitive psychology and literature …
Shaping destination image and identity
Purpose - This paper aims to explore how destination image can be shaped, created and crafted, from an induced-source, supply-side perspective to better cater to Arab visitors, drawing on empirical research conducted on the Gold Coast, Australia. Design/methodology/approach - Two sequential stages of research were implemented. The first stage conducted an analysis of websites to compare and contrast the image of the Gold Coast projected with the …
Costs and Perseverance in Serious Leisure Careers
Few studies have explored the impacts of costs on serious leisure careers. This article presents a case study of amateur athletes encountering a significant cost—cancellation of the 2012 Ironman New Zealand triathlon—and how they persevered despite this cost. Through a phenomenological research design incorporating qualitative interviews with 14 amateur triathletes, grounded theory analysis revealed that despite encountering a significant cost, a…
Constraint Negotiation in Serious Leisure
This paper explores strategies employed by amateur triathletes engaged in serious leisure to negotiate leisure constraints. In-depth interviews were conducted with 21 Australian triathletes, revealing a range of negotiation strategies used to adapt to or alleviate constraints. In particular, triathletes accepted the likelihood of opportunity costs, were pragmatic about their performance and used a self-determined hierarchy of importance to make l…
