The role of moral emotions in intergroup conflicts in tourism
Purpose This study aims to contribute to the knowledge of intergroup conflicts in tourism by exploring tourists’ moral emotions in response to residents’ unfriendly attitudes, thereby furthering our understanding of emotional dynamics involved in tourist–resident conflicts. Design/methodology/approach Following the 2019/20 Hong Kong protests, this study conducted 22 in-depth interviews with Mainland Chinese tourists who travelled to Hong Kong dur…
Developing the digital-free tourist identity
How individuals consume or resist technologies is by social identity; therefore, not using or not wanting to use digital devices plays a role in the development of tourist identity. To explore the dynamics of digital-free tourist identity development, 35 narratives were analyzed. Five trajectory patterns were identified from individual plots. Concepts dominating each narrative phase revealed that progressive social comparisons promoted the develo…
Tourists' regret as moral emotional experience
National Identity and Attachment Among Overseas Chinese Children
Immigrants’ national identities in relation to their homelands have received considerable academic attention. Although childhood plays a substantial part in national identity, studies on diaspora tourism and immigrants have often overlooked children’s experiences. Ethnic and cultural symbols are embedded in place and contribute to one’s attachment to a territory for identity development. This study explores the nexus between diaspora tourism, nat…
Intergroup Identity Conflict in Tourism
Over the last decade, political tensions between Hong Kong and mainland China over the territory’s status, culminating with the 2019/20 pro-democracy demonstrations, spilled over into tourism, with rising antagonism among “HongKongers” toward Chinese tourists. Central to these strained relationships are complex identity tensions that position HongKongers as distinct from mainland Chinese, despite being essentially “compatriots.” The sense of belo…
Should I Travel? Moral Motivation During Crises
While our travel decisions involve many decisions related to the right or wrong way to behave, our understanding of morality in tourism is largely underdeveloped. Currently, we are hoping for a more responsible and sustainable future after the pandemic. However, we still lack understanding of how moral motivations influence people's travel behavior during a crisis for better crisis management. Against the background of COVID-19, this study develo…

The influence of consumers' implicit self‐theories on homestay accommodation selection
In this study we aim to investigate whether entity and incremental theorists' decision to choose/not choose homestay accommodation can be explained by their implicit self‐theories. Drawing on data solicited from in‐depth interviews with 44 travellers, we found entity theorists chose homestays because homestays align with their personal traits and offer outcomes they desired. Incremental theorists chose homestays since they perceived the act affir…
A review of early Covid-19 research in tourism
When Hosts Trust Guests and Sharing Platforms
The peer-to-peer accommodation business has become an important topic in tourism. While the sharing economy relies heavily on peer-to-peer interactions, understanding of this new form of business from the host perspective is still developing. Further, the study argues that the majority of existing studies have often primarily concentrated on Airbnb and therefore limit our understanding of the sharing economy. This study employs a sociological per…
Non-interaction and identity change in Covid-19 tourism
Guanxi influences on women intrapreneurship
Existentially understanding tourism in locale
Ontological mingling and mapping
Within tourism studies, the 'critical turn' has evoked growing reflective and critical perspectives on the role of the researcher in producing knowledge. This has also led to calls for building an inclusive research community, particularly through including non-Western and non-positivist methodologies. While it is noted that non-Western scholarship has gained more visibility in the international tourism research community through publications in …

Feeling superior? National identity and humour in British castles
This study explores how humour in tourism can communicate facets of national identity. In particular, the paper focuses on the presentation by guides of two English and two Scottish castles. Drawing on multiple sources, including an analysis of promotional materials, the text of the guide’s narratives, on-site observation, and TripAdvisor comments from tourists, it was revealed that the guides repeatedly jokes to create clear boundaries between b…
Politics of memories
Experiencing Englishness
This study develops a small but growing cadre of work seeking to reveal how humour is used in tourism. It focuses on the presentation of three sites in southern England where guides use humour to enhance the presentation of the country’s distinctive history. The study has two aims: to understand how tourists react to the guides’ humour and, second, to identify how the humour works to portray a sense of Englishness. Using multiple sources of infor…
