Captivity denotes a condition in which freedom is constrained, and this experience can arise when tourists are unable to leave a destination during periods of armed conflict. In 2026, airspace restrictions across the Middle East immobilised Dubai, abruptly turning a hyper-mobile transit hub into a setting of enforced immobility.

Caring wings of hospidarity: Creating safe transitional spaces through hospitality alliances

Not being able to travel an unprecedented condition for many. This paper focuses on the sense of being trapped in lockdown and having to adapt to new – non-tourist – roles. The aim is to conceptualize the lockdown captivity phenomenon and to propose this concept as measurable, and relevant to tourism. Using an adapted role captivity scale, we provide empirical findings on the impact on individuals of losing their tourist role. This study is part …

The multidimensional realities of mediatized places: The transformative role of tour guides
Tour guides can transform tourist experiences. This is particularly evident in TV-series themed tours where tourists’ expectations are more likely to be met if a guide leads them into different dimensions of space and time. Here, we develop a model of the multidimensional realities of mediatized places by applying grounded theory, capturing how the transformative role of tour guides is key to the creation of memorable experiences. We illustrate h…
