From Concern to Actions
Drawing on Social Exchange Theory (SET), this study examines the relationships among the factors influencing residents' exchange ideology and pro‐environmental intentions in tourism destinations (cultural involvement, responsibility practice, hedonic motivation, and psychological well‐being). Using purposive sampling, this study collected data from residents of tourist destinations in Bangladesh. A total of 490 responses were analyzed from a coll…
Driving Sustainability and Sustainable Developmental Goals in Hospitality
Environmental sustainability is highly dependent on the employees' pro‐environmental behaviour (PEB) particularly in the hospitality industry context, yet there is still a gap of explanation on mechanisms that systematically improve employees' PEB. Based on Social Identity Theory, this study attempts to examine how green human resource management (GHRM) practices influence employees' PEB in two paths, directly and indirectly, through dual mediati…
Impact of Green Technology Features on Environmental Sustainability
This study examines how specific features influence the adoption of green technology to attain corporate environmental sustainability. Data were collected from 273 managers at five‐star hotels in Turkey over 2 months (March–April 2025). The model was analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) in SmartPLS, and the sample size was deemed sufficient. The results demonstrate that technical efficacy, innovative design and methods, and lifecycle…
Diving into the ocean
This study on underwater tourism (UT) delves into the push, pull, and mooring factors influencing travellers’ intention to participate (TIP). It also investigates how TIP affects actual behaviour (AB). The findings, based on a robust dataset gathered from 358 individuals interested in UT, provide practical insights into the field. Using configurational modelling, we found that the push factors are negative, while pull and mooring factors positive…
World uncertainty and international tourist arrivals
World uncertainty has been rising steadily over the past two decades. While uncertainty affects all sectors negatively, tourism is much more vulnerable to shocks. Therefore, it is critical to explain what kind of environment is necessary for tourism resilience against global shocks. To this end, this paper examines the relationship between world uncertainty, governance, and tourism using the panel data method. According to the findings, while wor…
Is there a nexus between tourism development and energy transition in Asia-Pacific countries
This paper examines the impact of tourism development on energy intensity and clean energy in 23 Asia-Pacific countries from 2000 to 2019. To ensure robust findings, both ordinary least squares (OLS) and quantile regression were applied. The findings reveal a long-term equilibrium relationship between tourism development, urbanisation, income, industrialisation, and energy transition. OLS results indicate that tourism contributes to energy effici…
The Effect of Self‐Service Technology Quality on Novelty‐Seeking and Revisit Intention in Restaurant Settings
This study explores how self‐service technologies (SSTs) quality in restaurants influences customers' novelty‐seeking behavior and their intention to revisit. Data were collected through surveys distributed via Amazon Mechanical Turk, comprising responses from 498 participants. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used for data analysis to assess the relationships between perceived SST quality, novelty‐seeking, and revisit intentions. The study…
Exploring the impact of environmental management on sustainable concerns in restaurants
Purpose This study examines how environmental concerns promote sustainable development in restaurants, emphasizing environmentally friendly practices. Design/methodology/approach We collected 340 valid responses from restaurant employees across the United States. Subsequently, the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method was utilized to assess both the measurement and structural models. Findings The results show that en…
Smart Service Interactional Experience for Family Travelers
This study explores the key features of the smart service interactional experience (SSIE) and develops and validates a scale based on the perspectives of family travelers. Through multiple stages of qualitative and quantitative investigations using U.S. and U.K. samples, this study identified eight distinct features of SSIE: efficiency, ease of use, learning, socialization, newness, safety, flow, and seamlessness. The study findings also validate…
Tourism Products and Sentiment Analysis
OVERVIEW\nAdvancements in communication have led to relationship era of marketing from production era.

Hospitality and Tourism Information Technology
Preface\nTechnology has redefined how we experience hospitality. From the front of the house to the back, technology has allowed hospitality businesses to provide a faster, better, and more personalized service. Such benefits may be achieved by relying on the systems that remember all customer preferences, by bringing guests the speed and convenience of self-check-in, and employing robots that may attend to customer requests around the clock. How…
Loss of profit in the hotel industry of the United States due to climate change
Tourism has been identified as a key economic sector vulnerable to climate change, yet direct empirical evidence is still lacking on the economic gain and loss of the tourism industry due to climate change. Here we find that temperature significantly affects the profits of the hotel industry with both spatial and seasonal heterogeneity. By using a rich dataset of the monthly financial records of more than 1700 hotels in 50 US states during 2016–2…
