While previous tourism studies on the visual have tended to focus on the analysis of photos, only recently videos have received more attention by tourism scholars.

Tourism research in non-English-speaking academic systems
While tourism knowledge is expanding, the scholarly production of tourism academicians working outside English-speaking systems still remains partly unexplored. This paper is an attempt to address this gap in knowledge as it aims to compare the scholarly production of English-speaking and non-English-speaking systems. More specifically, this article reviews the published academic work produced in English-speaking and three non-English-speaking sy…
Interethnic bridging social capital and the significance of ethnocentric interethnic interaction within Malaysian universities
This article explores the possible theoretical relationships of ethnocentrism (independent variable) and interethnic interaction (mediating variable) with interethnic bridging social capital (IBSC) (dependent variable). Interethnic bridging social capital is extremely noticeable that there is a lack of such investigation in specifically Malaysian public universities. In an attempt to clarify the current situation, a survey questionnaire was condu…
