Exploring the Tourist Experience: A Sequential Approach
The current study explores the central elements comprising memorable tourism experiences. It does so by adopting a sequential data collection process along three main successive travel stages: (a) pre-, (b) during, and (c) posttravel.

In doing so, the study is designed to deliver a deconstructionist reading of the current investigation on the sociocultural components of China's tourism with particular emphasis on the lack of investigation of China's tourism…

Understanding language as constitutive of social reality, this study employed techniques associated with textual analysis to examine featur…

Heritage Tourism on Route 66: Deconstructing Nostalgia
Many scholars have criticized the phenomenon of heritage tourism, arguing that it is driven by nostalgia, the desire on the part of heritage tourists to relive a glorified, misremembered version of the past; however, few studies have examined the actual experiences of heritage tourists. Employing a framework of heuristic inquiry, this study explores nine tourists' experiences traveling along the Route 66 National Historic Corridor, using methodol…
Cannabis Usage in Tourism: A Sociological Perspective
The present study aims to investigate the social forces that shape tourists’ motives in consuming cannabis while on vacation. The underlying premise of this paper is that cannabis consumption in tourism is driven and influenced by the wider process of the normalization of cannabis use in Western societies and, therefore, should be examined in this context. Using a grounded theory approach, this study suggests four umbrella groups of motivations t…
