The economic implications of AI in tourism and hospitality: A research agenda that meets the moment
Tourism development in the context of ecological transformation: The role of governments’ environmental protection attention
In the context of ecological transformation, governments that pay high attention to environmental protection tend to strengthen governance measures to improve environmental quality, which may attract tourists and promote tourism development. Therefore, this paper takes the Chinese tourism market as an example to explore the influence of governments’ environmental protection attention on tourism development by constructing a multidimensional atten…
Measuring Tourism Uncertainty ( TUI )
The tourism sector is highly susceptible to uncertainties due to its complex economic, social, environmental, and geopolitical structure. This fragility necessitates strengthening this sector's long‐term planning capacity to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Currently, however, there is no single composite metric that exists to measure and evaluate these tourism‐related uncertainties. To this aim, this study, for the first time, d…
Building Resilience in Global Tourism: A Theoretical and Empirical Analysis of Indicators for Sustainable Development
The primary perspective of this study is the global tourism industry (GTI) as an interconnected supply chain network, encompassing both tourism firms (e.g., hotels, airlines, and operators) and destinations (e.g., local communities and ecosystems). This industry‐level focus allows for analyzing resilience indicators that bridge firm‐specific capabilities with destination‐wide vulnerabilities, rather than isolating one over the other. Using a mixe…
Macroeconomic conditions, cash holdings, and financial constraints in restaurant firms
Firms with higher cash holding levels can undertake investment projects and pay off their obligations without any financial difficulties. However, unused excess cash could be detrimental to firm value because unutilized cash value could significantly depreciate over time. Thus, this paper aims to examine the extent to which macroeconomic factors affect restaurant firms’ cash holdings. We further examine the extent to which the level of financial …
Guiding the path to sustainable tourism development: Investigating the role of tour guides within a social exchange theory paradigm
Generative Artificial Intelligence in the Hospitality and Tourism Industry: Developing a Framework for Future Research
Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) offers important opportunities for the hospitality and tourism (HT) industry in the context of operations, design, marketing, destination management, human resources, revenue management, accounting and finance, strategic management, and beyond. However, the implementation of GAI in HT contexts comes with ethical, legal, social, and economic considerations that require careful reflection by HT firms. The pu…
The Nexus between tourism-energy-environmental degradation: Does financial development matter in GCC countries
Environmental sustainability, energy consumption, and tourism are the most discussed topics in the literature. However, limited studies have catered to the relationship among these variables. From this perspective: the current study aims to find the nexus between tourism, energy alternatives, financial development, and pollution emissions by targeting the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) economies. We employ the data of six GCC economies for the ye…
The implications of generative artificial intelligence in academic research and higher education in tourism and hospitality
The purpose of this study is to critically review the effect of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) tools on higher education and research in the tourism and hospitality (TH) field. This manuscript identifies capabilities and implications of these GAI applications through a theoretical lens. GAI adoption in TH education can facilitate personalized learning experiences, enhance the technological competence of students, and foster a more diver…
Developing and testing the efficacy of a novel forecasting methodology: Theory and evidence from China
Numerous methodologies have been offered to forecast tourism demand; however, accurate forecasting has been a major challenge for policymakers despite its critical importance for tourism planning. Therefore, we propose and test a novel forecasting methodology that combines principal component analysis (PCA) and long short-term memory (LSTM) network, along with the Baidu index, to forecast daily tourist arrivals for a popular tourist attraction in…
Is Authenticity the New Luxury? Examining the Components and Dynamics of the Luxury Accommodation Experience
The nature of luxury experiences has been evolving, with the focus shifting from objective criteria of luxury to understanding customers’ perceptions of luxury experiences. Moreover, in the context of an emerging homesharing sector, there remains a gap in our understanding of what comprises the luxury accommodation experience. The present study develops a model to capture the components and dynamics of the evolving nature of luxury in the accommo…
Saving Local Restaurants: The Impact of Altruism, Self-Enhancement, and Affiliation on Restaurant Customers’ Ewom Behavior
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many restaurants faced a shift from a dine-in based service model to a takeout-based model. As a result of the qualitative differences between dine-in and take-out experiences, there was a corresponding change in customers’ electronic word of mouth (EWOM) behavior. While pre-pandemic EWOM behavior relied on dine-in specific factors such as décor, lighting, and employee interactions, take-out dining relies less on the…

Event motivation, subjective well-being, and revisit intentions during the second wave of the pandemic: Moderating effect of affective risk about Covid-19 and perceived trust
This study examines the moderating effects of trust and perceived affective risk on the relationship between event motivations (socializing, novelty, nostalgia, emotion regulation, and loneliness), subjective-wellbeing and revisit intentions. We tested the proposed conceptual model via a convenient sample of 287 participants visiting an exhibition at the international contemporary art gallery in Istanbul, Turkey, during the second COVID-19 pandem…
The economic implications of the Covid-19 outbreak on tourism industry: Empirical evidence from Turkey
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has caused tremendous fear and uncertainty and affected health, economy, and social life in an unprecedented form worldwide. Yet, the level of knowledge on its economic implications is very limited. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to explain the health, social, and economic impacts of COVID-19. Because the tourism is one of the most affected industries by the pandemic, this study aims to explain …
The contagion effect of Covid-19-induced uncertainty on US tourism sector: Evidence from time-varying granger causality test
This study investigates the effect of COVID-19-induced uncertainty on the overall stock market and the stock performance of the tourism and hospitality industry and its subsectors utilizing a novel time-varying robust Granger causality test. The results show that the COVID-19 pandemic–induced uncertainty has an adverse impact on the overall economy, tourism and hospitality industry, and subsectors of tourism and hospitality. However, the impact o…
Hapless victims or empowered citizens? Understanding residents’ attitudes towards Airbnb using Weber’s Theory of Rationality and Foucauldian concepts
Airbnb has been criticized about its negative impacts on residents’ quality of life. Yet, extant research on the topic is limited, both in volume and theoretical and empirical efficacy. In light of the need to advance theory-driven research on resident attitudes in tourism, the present study develops and tests an innovative theoretical framework that combines the tenets of Weber’s Theory of Rationality and Foucauldian concepts of power, knowledge…
