Approaches to personal transformation in tourism research
The study of tourism transformation is evolving with five different research streams identifiable, studying personal transformation, social transformation, transformative service design, and transformation related to destinations or tourism as a whole.

Social justice or social stigma? Hotel customers’ perception on branded hotel used as quarantine facility
This study provides evidence that hotels could reap benefits by including social justice notions of equity and fairness in their corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. The study develops a novel conceptual model for understanding perceived social justice in the context of COVID-19 quarantine hotels based on social exchange theory. Data was collected using an online survey of 465 hotel customers, with results analyzed using structural e…
Food and wine presence and pairing within traditional restaurants’ menus as regional heritage promotional behaviour: Gemeinschaft or Gesellschaft
The owners of traditional restaurants in North Portugal provide "slow" food, displaying their region's intangible cultural heritage while offering local food and wine. This research examines if community attachment (an expression of Gemeinschaft) is a mediator of the relation between the traditional restaurant owners' offerings and their intention to promote regional heritage. A mixed methodology was used, with survey responses from 309 restauran…
Augmented reality and the enhancement of memorable tourism experiences at heritage sites
Augmented reality (AR) has revolutionized the tourist experience, presenting an opportunity to generate meaningful engagement with unique culture and heritage. Despite the potential, a limited empirical inquiry has assessed the efficacy of AR for the creation of memorable heritage tourism experiences (MTEs). Consequently, this research aims to examine the efficacy of AR for enhancing the memorability of tourism experiences (MTE) at heritage sites…
Heritage hotel experiences in Nizwa, Oman
Oman is a developing tourism destination providing a range of cultural heritage experiences. The Omani Government has focused on preservation of tangible heritage such as forts, souqs and archaeology sites, where there is a separation between heritage experiences and resident's everyday life. Recently, small entrepreneurs in Nizwa, Oman have begun to reuse traditional houses as heritage accommodation and thus embedding the tourist in the social f…

Motivations include personal vegan food preferences, changing family members' attitudes toward vegan food, and visiting local attractions. The vegan packaged tour includes vegan meals an…

Findings show that human capital development in regional areas is needed to avoid tensions from top-down, elite-led development, as well as training to achieve sustainable livel…
Future research on visitors’ attitudes to tourism destinations
Novelty, unexpectedness and surprise: A conceptual clarification
This research note distinguishes between the concepts of novelty, unexpectedness and surprise applied in research on tourism experiences. In the existing tourism discourse, these concepts are used interchangeably, generating terminological ambiguity and conceptual confusion. However, in cognitive psychology, each term has a distinct and identifiable meaning. This short communication articulates and interprets each concept through the lens of feel…

Emotional responses to tourism advertisements: The application of FaceReaderTM
Traditionally, tourists’ emotional responses to advertising and associated stimuli have been assessed using self-report questionnaires. Image recognition software, such as FaceReaderTM provides a means to analyse emotional responses to stimuli, specifically the type of emotion, valence (positive/negative) and arousal (intensity) via facial expressions. This research note reports on the benefits and drawbacks of FaceReaderTM. Respondents from Iran…
Physiological and self-report methods to the measurement of emotion in tourism
There is strong growth in research on tourist emotion, with a substantial scholarly debate emerging, surrounding approaches to measurement.

Tourism research: Building from other disciplines
Tourism as a field of study is challenged to identify a theoretical core and disciplinary boundaries. While the phenomena of tourism may be considered a system of interlinked parts, the scholarly body of knowledge of tourism may be described as a mosaic of knowledge. This paper identifies a number of methodological problems that tourism research must address. We further propose that future study should focus its attention on core issues of touris…

Tourism is More Sinned Against than Sinning
ContextThe purpose of this Research Probe is to address a simple or, on reflection, perhaps simplistic question. As the editor of this journal originally asked when inviting contributions and rejoinders, is tourism a ‘sinner’ or is it unjustly ‘sinned against’? In other words, since the late nineteenth century, modem tourism has attracted criticism in one form or another, initially in the form of social comment, subsequently in both academic and …

Marketing of Tourism Experiences
This book provides a review of the current theory and practice of experiential tourism and how it is marketed. Many societies today are characterised by widespread individual wealth of an order previously confined to the elite with the consequence that ownership of 'ordinary' physical goods is no longer a distinguishing factor. Instead people are now seeking the 'extraordinary' with examples being bodies enhanced through surgery, personal fitness…

Knowledge Networks and Tourism
It is common today to consider that knowledge creation is the basis of economic growth for a firm (Nonaka and Takeuchi 1995) or that learning regions (Florida 1995) or regional innovation systems (Cooke, Gomez Uranga, and Etxebarria 1997) are the basis for regional competitiveness. This regional competitiveness is due to the synergistic interaction between individuals and resources and has been discussed in terms of geographic clusters, industria…
