Drawing on the stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) model, a three-wave time-lagged study was con…

Dark tourism through the lens of attachment theory and domestic tourists
This study explores the factors that affect domestic tourist attachment to dark tourism destinations by developing a hybrid model using several methods, including structural equation modeling (SEM) and fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP), predicated on attachment theory. The study collected data from 60 tourism experts and 622 domestic tourists. The study found that tourist motivation, national identity, tourism impacts, and destination att…
Digital transformation, online advertising, and consumer behaviour

This study examines the antecedents of …
Persistence of financial efficiency in tourism and hospitality firms

Efficiency scores and the degree of persistence of firm efficiency are estimated using data envelopment analysis and dynamic panel regression, respectively. The results confirm significant and positive persistence of the financial efficiency of sample firms over 9 years, and support the ‘performance‐persistence’ t…
