Attitudes and preferences for tourism in protected areas – Empirical insights
Tourism development in protected areas often generates public debate, yet the social drivers of community acceptance remain underexplored. Using survey data from 1000 Australians and a latent-class choice model, this study examines how trust in institutions, perceptions of distributional fairness, and emotional responses shape support for tourism development. Trust, driven by confidence in governance and procedural fairness, along with perception…
How do members of the public feel about novel ecosystem interventions? A longitudinal study of emotional responses to restoration and adaptation in the Great Barrier Reef
Climate-responsive ecosystem interventions are increasingly proposed to support coral reef futures, yet the emotional dimensions of public responses remain poorly understood. Drawing on three large-scale surveys of Australians conducted in 2018, 2022, and 2024 ( n = 8460), this study examines longitudinal shifts in emotional responses to six novel restoration and adaptation strategies in the Great Barrier Reef. Across all waves, positive emotions…
Building dynamic capabilities in tourism organisations for disaster management: Enablers and barriers
Dynamic capabilities enable tourism organisations to manage crises and disasters, yet many do not possess these competencies. This paper investigates the factors that enable or impede the development of dynamic capabilities in tourism organisations that help them to survive and thrive in crises or disaster environments. These enablers and barriers to build dynamic capabilities are compared across tourism organisations considering their age, size,…
Understanding tourists’ attitudes toward interventions for the Great Barrier Reef: An extension of the norm activation model
Coral reefs provide important ecosystem services as well as economic and cultural benefits to society. Yet they are under significant threat from anthropogenic and natural threats, including climate change. Australia’s Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is one such reef undergoing significant change. More radical interventions that go beyond traditional forms of management are being considered to help repair and restore the GBR. These are based on science …
Beyond cost–benefit analysis: Resident emotions, appraisals and support toward tourism performing arts developments
Abundant literature has examined resident reactions to tourism by their perceptions of perceived impacts, overlooking individual emotional responses that might be elicited by psychological causes toward specific types of tourism. This paper employs cognitive appraisal theory to explore the existence and causes of resident emotional responses to tourism performing arts developments. A survey of 438 residents was conducted in Hangzhou, China. Findi…

Which types of product attributes lead to aviation voluntary carbon offsetting among air passengers
Tourism contributes 8% to global carbon emissions. Yet, only 10% of air passengers purchase voluntary carbon offsets. We test the effectiveness of different communication messages to increase voluntary purchasing of carbon offsets by air passengers. Results of a discrete choice experiment indicate that air passengers prefer carbon offset schemes that fund local programs (as opposed to international programs), that are effective in mitigating emis…

Residents ’ social dilemma in sustainable heritage tourism: The role of social emotion, efficacy beliefs and temporal concerns
Increasingly, residents in world heritage sites (WHS) are facing dilemmas by choosing between the short-term self-interests and long-term collective benefits associated with heritage tourism development. Through the lens of social dilemma theory, this study investigated the role of social emotions in affecting resident dilemma considerations related to supporting sustainable heritage tourism development. Employing a mixed-methods approach, 402 re…

Beyond the glamour: Resident perceptions of olympic legacies and volunteering intentions
This study examines factors that influence residents’ volunteering behaviours post-completion of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It posits that residents’ interactions with the event over time and their perceptions of event legacies are likely to exert influence on volunteering. Data were collected in two phases between January 2013 and April 2016 amongst residents living in the borough of Weymouth and Portland. The borough is in th…

Building tourism organizational resilience to crises and disasters: A dynamic capabilities view
The importance of resilience for tourism organizations facing crises and disasters is indisputable. Yet little is known about how these organizations become resilient. This paper proposes that dynamic capabilities provide a mechanism that enables tourism organizations to respond to disruptive environmental changes through a process of routine transformation, resource allocation, and utilization. The resulting theoretical framework takes a process…

Tourism Disaster Planning and Management: From Response and Recovery to Reduction and Readiness
Despite the growing number of natural hazards and disasters little research has been conducted on tourism disaster management and planning. Although there have been a growing number of studies in the tourism field on tourism disaster management, most have highlighted, and indeed researched, reactive response and recovery efforts of the tourism industry at the expense of reduction and readiness strategies and initiatives. This paper integrates haz…

Investigating the Role of Prior Knowledge in Tourist Decision Making: A Structural Equation Model of Risk Perceptions and Information Search
To date, limited research has investigated the effects of tourist prior knowledge as a multidimensional construct on their perceived risk. This research is one of the first studies to investigate the relationships among tourists’ risk perceptions and various types of their prior knowledge, namely subjective knowledge, objective knowledge, prior visitation, and past international travel experience. The research also investigates the nature of the …
