The everyday cost of paradise: Seasonal grocery inflation as a tourism-led externality
Google Trends and Baidu index data in tourism demand forecasting: A critical assessment of recent applications
Large language models in tourism research: Support, substitution, or something else
The hidden geography of tourism firm spending: Tracking economic leakages with firm-to-firm transactions
Assessing a Model of Customer Rage: Does Customer Entitlement Moderate Relationships Between Rage Emotions, Expressions and Behaviors
Across travel and tourism services research, studies investigating “customer rage” typically prioritize the direct point-of-consumption, often within airport, airline, or hotel contexts. However, the sector is awash with intermediaries (e.g., travel agencies, insurance brokers, booking platforms), which serve as primary points-of-contact capable of shaping customer expectations. Accordingly, the consequences of service failure therein are nuanced…
Choosing the right fit: A practical guide to selecting measurement models for tourism constructs
Tourism boom, housing doom: Excessive tourism and international emigration
Antecedents and moderators of positive word of mouth communication among tourist destination residents during the Covid-19 pandemic
Word of mouth (WOM) communication has been recognized for a long time as an activity to improve the efficiency and success of communication efforts. The purpose of this paper is to examine potential antecedents and moderators of positive WOM of tourist destination residents during the COVID-19 pandemic. Three WOM predictors are examined, i.e. trustworthiness in communication of authorities, destination reputation, and prevention measures, whereas…
Spatial spillovers of tourism activity on housing prices: The case of Croatia
The tourism effects on housing prices within cities and regions have been analyzed in the literature, but there is a lack of evidence on the spatial effects of these processes. In areas hit by overtourism, house price hikes have the potential of spillovers to adjacent cities and towns as well as across wider space. Our study widens existing knowledge on the tourism-housing relationship by exploring the existence and extent of spatial spillovers f…
Expatriate Adjustment and Engagement with Host Country Gastronomy: Investigating The Role of Identity Projects
Research on expatriate consumer behavior suggests that expatriates can be attracted to host country gastronomy, but sometimes they also suppress themselves from engaging with it. To shed light on these inconsistencies, this study draws on cross-cultural adjustment literature and social identity theory to explore under what circumstances expatriates increase their tendency to visit restaurants offering host country cuisine. To test the proposed mo…
Understanding prevention measures and tourist behavior in Croatia during the Covid-19 pandemic. A mixed-method approach
This study investigates the adoption of prevention measures in Croatia during the COVID-19 pandemic and its relationship with tourist behavior. The research adopts a mixed-method approach as it examines both practitioners’ and tourists’ viewpoints. A qualitative study was conducted with eight destination service providers, while the quantitative study took place among 333 international tourists during their stay in the country. Results from the q…
Travel intentions in pandemic circumstances – the case of Balkan tourists
Examination of tourist behaviour during and after the crisis is of great importance for understanding and coping with the harmful effects of the crisis. The study aims to discover the impact of perceived risks, health status, and travel experience on proximal travel intentions during the Covid-19 outbreak. Perceived risks that coronavirus brought reshaped the collective awareness and altered typical travel habits. The research involved 1109 respo…
Fallacy of higher-order reflective constructs
High season, low growth: The impact of tourism seasonality and vulnerability to tourism on the emergence of high-growth firms
On the validity and meaningfulness of higher-order reflective constructs: A rejoinder
The Factor Structure of Medical Tourist Satisfaction: Exploring Key Drivers of Choice, Delight, and Frustration
The current study intends to contribute to a better understanding of the medical tourism experience. In particular, this study uses data from a survey-based study conducted on a sample of 1,209 medical tourists in Croatia. On the one hand, this study aims to explore and shed light on the decision-making process of medical tourists, and, on the other hand, to reveal which elements of both the medical institution and the destination where it is loc…
The Mediating Role of Major Sport Events in Visitors’ Satisfaction, Dissatisfaction, and Intention to Revisit a Destination
Sport events represent a popular motive for travel and can bring a huge influx of visitors with multiple benefits for a destination. The purpose of this article is to analyze the effect of previous experience with the destination on future behavior in the form of intention to visit/revisit it and to shed more light on the relationship between visitors’ satisfaction and their future revisit intentions depending on their previous experience with th…
The effect of tourism activity on housing affordability
Although researchers have confirmed the impact of tourism on housing prices in many destinations affected with overtourism, they do not consider housing affordability in relation to the population's income levels. This study explores the relationship between tourism activity and housing affordability, using a sample of Croatian municipalities. Specifically, the study investigates how tourist accommodation, concentration, seasonality and overall v…
