Making tourism smart in the age of artificial intelligence
The development and application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the major socio-economic, political and environmental issues facing the world today. It has also become a major issue in tourism. This editorial posits that tourism research needs to engage with AI and related new technologies at more than the level of business applicability and consumer perception and use, as important as they are. Rather we argue that different orders of …
Trust as a mediator of pro-environmental knowledge transfer and behaviour in small and medium-sized tourism enterprises
Studies into tourism enterprises acknowledge the importance of trust in facilitating effective pro-environmental knowledge transfer and action. Yet empirical support remains inconclusive. Firstly, this research tests the validity of a model proposing four antecedents of trust-based decisions in tourism enterprises; self-efficacy, social norms, social capital, and credibility. Secondly, we deconstruct the knowledge transfer process, focusing on th…
Stakeholder assemblages of destination climate adaptation
This paper examines local perceptions of climate adaptation. We develop climate scenarios using the Tourism Climate Index (TCI) to determine the type of tourism that future climate resources will support. Using the case study of Croatia, our findings suggest the possibility of season extension, but also problematic snow cover for winter sports resorts. We design our study using assemblage theory, enabling us to examine local perceptions to climat…
Tourism Climate Change Adaptation
This monography is a result of the national research project “V7-2128 Climate change and sustainable tourism development in Slovenia”. It prepares the groundwork for adaptation within the tourism sector in Slovenia, assesses the risks and vulnerabilities of Slovenian tourism to climate change, and identifies possible adaptation options of Slovenian tourism. The analysis uses past climate data and three scenarios of climate change until the end of…
The geopolitics and challenges of current issues in tourism
The tourism industry, destinations, and the wider tourism community and stakeholders face several significant short and long-term challenges that will substantially affect the future direction of tourism. Issues of social, economic, and environmental change are further complicated by current geopolitical conflicts and competition. These issues raise important questions with respect to the role of academic journals in capacity building as well as …
Conceptualising trust as a mediator of pro-environmental tacit knowledge transfer in small and medium sized tourism enterprises
This conceptual paper adds to the theoretical exploration of inter-organisational pro-environmental knowledge transfer in small and medium sized tourism enterprises (SMTEs). It does so by focusing on the role of trust, a concept which has received only scant attention in this context. Drawing on theoretical and empirical research, we argue that the willingness of SMTE managers to engage in the transference of pro-environmental tacit knowledge is …

The use of tourism as a social intervention in indigenous communities to support the conservation of natural protected areas in Mexico
Tourism has been considered a tool for sustainable development (SD) of rural/indigenous communities living within natural protected areas (NPAs) since the 1980s. This article examines the use of tourism as a SD intervention in the management of NPAs. Based on the theory of social change and on the realist methodological approach to social research, the study focuses on the case of Mexico. It seeks to establish causal chains to identify mechanisms…

Asking More of Qualitative Synthesis
We continue the conversation initiated by Sally Thorne’s observations about “metasynthetic madness.” We note that the variety of labels used to describe qualitative syntheses often reflect authors’ disciplines and geographical locations. The purpose of systematic literature searching is to redress authors’ lack of citation of relevant earlier work and to reassure policy makers that qualitative syntheses are systematic and transparent. There is cl…
Translating an early childhood obesity prevention program for local community implementation
Policy makers, researchers and practitioners have important and complementary roles to play in supporting the translation of effective research interventions into practice. New avenues need to be explored to strengthen partnerships between researchers and end users to support the integration of effective public health research interventions into practice
Climate change knowledge and organizational adaptation
This paper reports on an exploratory empirical study that examined the extent of organizational adaptation of a destination to climate change. Utilizing a case study of a UK island destination, the paper focuses specifically on the way the destination management organization (DMO) acquires climate change knowledge and how it translates this knowledge into organizational learning and destination adaptation. The study identified a number of challen…
Meta-Study as Diagnostic
Having previously conducted qualitative syntheses of the diabetes literature, we wanted to explore the changes in theoretical approaches, methodological practices, and the construction of substantive knowledge which have recently been presented in the qualitative diabetes literature. The aim of this research was to explore the feasibility of synthesizing existing qualitative syntheses of patient perspectives of diabetes using meta-study methodolo…
Providing effective and preferred care closer to home
Intermediate care is one of the number of service delivery models intended to integrate care and provide enhanced health and social care services closer to home, especially to reduce reliance on acute care hospital beds. In order for health and social care practitioners, service managers and commissioners to make informed decisions, it is vital to understand how to implement the admission avoidance and early supported discharge components of inte…
Managing tourism knowledge
Knowledge management is an established academic subject area but tourism has come to this subject late. Knowledge management can provide tourism organizations and destinations with significant benefits in terms of innovation and competitiveness. The paper provides an overview of knowledge management and in particular a model of knowledge stocks and flows, emphasising the imperative of knowledge transfer and exchange as a competitive tool. The pap…
We have to cut our coat according to our cloth’
This article seeks to reassess the decision-making processes of the first stages of British rearmament in the early 1930s. In particular, it re-evaluates the role of Douglas Hogg, Viscount Hailsham, Secretary of State for War (1931–5), and his efforts to combat the determination of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Neville Chamberlain, to limit expenditure and resist preparing the Army for continental warfare. Hailsham is presented as the first Br…
The Politics of Empire
While the majority of high-profile imperialists were excluded from Britain's National Government during the 1930s, at least one leading imperialist of the era, Douglas Hogg, first Viscount Hailsham (1872–1950), was at the heart of British policy-making. Although historians have largely overlooked the multifaceted contribution of this leading Conservative to inter-imperial affairs, as a senior cabinet minister he made significant interventions in …

OP37 Psychological Consequences of False-Positive Screening Mammograms in the UK
Background In the UK women aged 47–73 are invited for screening by mammography every three years. In 2009–10 more than 2.24 million women in this age group in England were invited to take part in the programme, of these 73% attended a screening clinic. Of these 64,104 were recalled for assessment. Of those recalled 81% did not have breast cancer, these women had a false-positive mammogram. The aim of this systematic review was to identify the psy…

The Relationship Between Tourism Education and The Tourism Industry
The relationship between tourism education and the tourism industry is historically a complex one which has been characterised by a lack of trust. Increasingly, however, both education and industry are recognising the mutual benefits of developing a more co-operative relationship and the importance of narrowing the divide which has traditionally existed between them. The need to satisfy both academic and the industry stakeholders does have specia…
Human Resource Issues in a Small Island Setting The Case of the Maldivian Tourism Industry
This paper analyses the development of the tourism industry in the small island nation of the Republic of Maldives, highlighting the role of expatriate and local employment within the Maldivian tourism industry. It is argued that in order for tourism to be sustainable, the prevailing focus on tourism development needs to be changed with more prominence given to human resource development—the core of the tourism industry

Applying a Knowledge Management Framework to Tourism Research
Increasingly it is being recognised that a nation's competitiveness in the global marketplace depends on its ability to capitalise on its intellectual and knowledge-based assets, as opposed to the more traditional commodities. As a consequence, the diffusion and commercialisation of research and intellectual property has emerged as a key issue for governments, higher education institutions, research centres and private enterprise. These are recen…
The Impact of Globalisation on Human Resource Management in the Tourism Sector
Globalisation is having a significant impact upon human resource management in tourism. To cope with the international intensity of competition brought about by globalisation, a knowledge-based economy has emerged to replace the previously dominant ‘Fordist’ mode of production. This knowledge-based economy utilises the skills of the workforce to the full, so creating a new way of thinking about human resource management and demanding a response o…

Little Local Difficulties Revisited
This article re-assesses the resignation of Chancellor of the Exchequer, Peter Thorneycroft, and his two junior ministers in January 1958 in terms of the importance of this event in the pre-history of Thatcherism. It does so by considering Thorneycroft's political career as a whole, arguing that, throughout his time in public life, he showed characteristics that were more in tune with the New Right Conservatism of the 1980s than with the One Nati…

The pattern of educational visits in England
Educational visits are an integral part of school life and an important source of visitors to tourist attractions yet virtually no research exists as to the significance, or pattern of these visits. This paper analyses the structure, nature and issues of educational visits in England. In the mid 1980s there were over 12 million educational visits to attractions annually. There are distinctive spatial variations of visits and their timing peaks in…

Innovations in Tourism Education and Training
Implicit in the nature of tourism as a diverse and complex activity is the notion of a variety of stakeholders. For education and training, this means that development and delivery of courses is complicated by the need to take these groups into account. A consequence of this is the way that the views, actions and influence of these stakeholders have a varied impact upon tourism education and training. This paper provides an analysis of the variou…
