User Interactions in Online Travel Communities
Online travel communities (OTCs) enable users to interact and share travel information voluntarily. Extant research has primarily focused on the content generated through user interactions but neglected how user interactions are structured.

Using a big data approach, 25,480 guest…

Effect of Tourism on Balanced Regional Development
This article aims to examine whether tourism can promote or hinder balanced regional development (BRD) in China. Unlike previous studies that mostly employ simple descriptive analysis, this study empirically analyzes the effects of tourism on BRD, especially on regional economic disparity within and between inland and coastal areas, by using the conditional convergence model of Barro and Sala-i-Martin. Results indicate that tourism development in…
Tourism Development and Regional Quality of Life
Although a number of studies examined local communities' perceived quality of life (QOL) related to tourism development, little research has directly investigated the objective measures of residents' QOL. This article used China as a case to examine how tourism development relates to and possibly impacts objective measures of residents' QOL at a regional level. Specifically, the study explored whether significant differences exist among the three…
