Let residents interpret the artwork: Connecting art and local communities by sharing local knowledge at rural art festivals
Despite experiencing a recent boom, rural art festivals still struggle to bridge the gap between the art displayed and the local community as a means to promote sociocultural benefits. In our study, we examined whether having residents interpret artwork can bridge that gap, especially by sharing local knowledge. Based on a yearlong qualitative case study on Art Field Nanhai in China, we developed a process model of residents’ transformation throu…
Understanding Events as Socialized Media: A New Perspective of Urban Destination Enhancement
Events are integral components of urban tourism and bring vitality to destinations. While the benefits have been confirmed, the complex relationality between events and destinations needs further exploration. This study proposes a media perspective to reveal how events are embedded into urban destinations. By viewing them as socialized media, three passages have been proposed and highlighted to uncover the relational value and transformative forc…

Night-time destinations increasingly rely on digital spectacle, yet a clear model of how technology and place-based narratives fuse into a marketable place image remains elusive. Adopting a culture – technology coupling lens, this single-case study traces the co-evolution of nostalgia and enchantment in Xi’an’s Great Tang Sleepless City, a large, government-led heritage nightscape, and triangulates evidence from Weibo and TikTok posts, space synt…

Understanding the online restaurant rating bias induced by air pollution and the underlying spatial and temporal effects
Using unique restaurant review data in the urban tourism system combined with air quality data in the Chinese context, we confirmed the air pollution-induced mood misattribution in terms of negative online restaurant rating bias. Further heterogeneity analyses grounded in expectancy-disconfirmation theory were conducted. Tests regarding air quality differences across geography (i.e. the spatial effect) show that good air quality in the city where…

Chinese travellers’ mobility decision-making processes during public health crisis situations: A Bayesian network model
Travellers’ mobility decisions are fraught with uncertainty and instability during public health crises. However, existing studies have not revealed the internal mechanism of travellers’ mobility changes in a public health crisis. This paper established and trained a Bayesian network model from multiple data to analyse Chinese travellers’ mobility decision-making processes under COVID-19 and simulated the changes in mobility decisions in differen…
Exploring the Efficiency of Digital Running Devices on Habitual Running: A Mixed Methods Study
This study seeks to answer whether digital devices influence habitual running and explores the kinds of conditions in which these devices are effective, as well as the underlying reasons. A mixed methods approach was used to collect and analyze the data. The quantitative research investigated the moderating effect of digital running device usage on the relationship between running involvement and commitment. A qualitative study was conducted to b…
Green innovation in events: The Role of Institutional Pressures, Future Orientation, and Past Experience
Green innovation is pivotal to events. However, little is known about how exhibitors manage the challenge of adopting green innovation in the fast-paced and short-oriented events. Drawing upon institutional theory and organisational learning perspective, this study investigates how institutional pressures are linked to exhibitors’ willingness to adopt (WTA) eco-exhibiting via two temporal variables: future orientation (mediator) and past experien…
‘Right here, right now!’: Embodied experiences of pop concert participants
Despite the proliferation of high-quality recorded live pop concerts in today’s digitalized world, the demand for live pop performances remains strong. Through a case study of Mayday, a popular Chinese- Taiwanese band, this paper conducted qualitative research and collected multiple sources of data through netnography, participant-observation, semi-structured interviews and secondary data to reveal the embodied experience of young participants tr…
External pressures or internal motives? Investigating the determinants of exhibitors’ willingness to adopt eco-exhibiting
Corporates commonly adopt green practices when propelled by external pressures or internal considerations. However, the relative performance of external and internal motives in promoting exhibitors to conduct such behaviours remains uncharted. This paper applied the institutional theory (IT) and diffusion of innovations theory (DIT) as representatives of external and internal motives respectively and compared their power in explaining exhibitors’…

The Authenticity of Heritage Sites, Tourists’ Quest for Existential Authenticity, and Destination Loyalty
The aim of this study was to empirically explore existential authenticity from the perspectives of visitors. Given that existentialism invites people to examine the authenticity of their personal lives and their society, an attempt was made in this study to examine the authenticity of visitors’ personal lives and their environments by conducting an empirical study concerning the Kaiping watchtowers site, a well-known Chinese heritage site. Two di…

Identity Construction in a Travel-related Virtual Community: A Case Study on a Guangzhou Couch-surfing Community
This research aims to explore the process, characteristics, and factors of constructing self- and group identity in the couch-surfing community and the similarities and differences between the mechanisms involved in young people’s identity construction, online and offline. As most members in the community are young people, this study was based on Grotevant’s conceptual model of adolescent identity construction. The research applied content analys…

Empirical Validation and Applicability of the BG/NBD Model in the Exhibition Industry: Example of Clock and Watch Exhibitors at the Canton Fair
Because exhibition organizers face a stochastic environment, they find it difficult to predict exhibitors' future purchases of exhibition booths. With competition increasingly cutthroat and customer churn problems on the rise, many exhibition organizers now recognize the importance of customer relationship management and regard the efficacy of transaction forecasting as the basis for such management. This article examines the beta-geometric/negat…
