The research adopted a bottom-up approach, inviting stakeholder participation in six focus groups, two expert panels, a pilot study and three main studies to examine Araluen Botanic Park, Western Australia as well as its Chilli Festival and Tulip Festival. A total of 878 completed surveys were collected. The personality attributes of t…
The effectiveness of a marketing virtual reality learning simulation
Virtual reality (VR) technology has been shown to be a promising teaching method in STEM subjects. Extending these findings, the current study is the first to develop and examine the feasibility of using a VR simulation in marketing (ie, a non‐STEM subject). Specifically, the levels of immersion and three learning outcomes (learning attitude, enjoyment and performance) were compared between the marketing students who learned the same content thro…
Drivers and barriers toward reducing meat consumption
Food, Wine and China
The Chinese market has become increasingly important for the tourism industry in New Zealand. Recent research suggests that there is scope to attract a greater proportion of high-spending Chinese holidaymakers, increase their length of stay and regional spread, and improve the quality of their experiences in the country. While the tourism industry works to improve the quality of the Chinese visitor experience, one option may be to encourage holid…
Exploring the effects of a ‘new’ listing of a Unesco World Heritage Site
This study examines how the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization World Heritage Site (WHS) listing impacts on push-pull factors, satisfaction and revisit intention.

The pre-listing and post-listing samples were compared and results revealed significant differences between the samples. Differences were observed f…
Incorporating the winescape into the theory of planned behaviour
Engaging in digital piracy of movies

It will also determine via a proxy measurement, if individuals’ intentions to engage in digital piracy will translate into actual engagement in digital piracy of movies. Design/methodology/approach – In all, 404 students at a large Western Australian University were surve…
Does gender matter? A review of work‐related gender commonalities

Allocentrism and Consumer Ethnocentrism
In this article the authors examine the effects of allocentrism and consumer ethnocentrism (CET) on intentions to purchase domestic versus imported products, focusing on the current phenomenon of the “Korean Wave” in Taiwan. Results based on data collected from 433 mall intercept interviews in Taiwan indicate that there is a strong positive relationship between allocentrism toward parents and CET. However, a significantly negative relationship be…
