After interviewing 23 bleisure travelers, the study found that in the pre-travel phase, bleisure travelers had more complex planning and needed more coordination. Therefore, they were well-organized, futuristic, and competent in travel arrangements. During the travel, they sought ‘educational experiences’, ‘short-squeezed leisure plans’, ‘family and kids-oriented activities’, and preferred ‘not trying one-time events’. They used strategies such as ‘flexibility in travel arrangement’, ‘clarification of travel companions’, ‘mixing business and leisure activity’, and ‘remote work’ to balance the two travel purposes. Finally, in the post-trip phase, bleisure travelers described feeling ‘physically tired but mentally rejuvenated’ with a sense of being ‘free of the guilt’ of their absence from home.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34520,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Tourism Research Empirical Insights","volume":"5 1","pages":"Article 100115"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666957923000307/pdfft?md5=8a83ad266919fb78886290569202ba95&pid=1-s2.0-S2666957923000307-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138656410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Importantly, however, a series of deeper structural issues – most notably the structure of the labour market, the unevenness of social security coverage and pre-existing debt – greatly undermined their capacity to exercise resilience. As these findings suggest, it is necessary to look beyond individual traits and behaviours, and even community-level structures, if we are to truly understand community resilience.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34520,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Tourism Research Empirical Insights","volume":"4 2","pages":"Article 100114"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666957923000290/pdfft?md5=625e49a70974254f46bcce4f57466c2b&pid=1-s2.0-S2666957923000290-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92045619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we investigate COVID-19's impact on tourism demand in EU-27 and EFTA countries at the NUTS2 level during the pandemic's first year. Through a fractional response model we find (1) higher losses of tourism demand in urban destinations and in destinations highly dependent on foreign tourism, (2) lower losses in domestic destinations, in proximity, or that have natural assets.

These guidebooks represented poorer, more religious Muslim men as threatening to both Egyptian and Western women. Guidebooks suggested that, in response to harassment, women should alter their conduct to enhance their respectability and masculinised protections. This advice naturalised violent counterterrorism practices that protected ‘respectable’ women from poorer ‘bad’ Muslim men, positioning (white) masculinised subjects as saviours and reproducing the ‘savages-victims-saviours triad’. Guidebooks thereby functioned to obscure and legitimise Egypt's repressive crackdown on anti-government dissent and women's public activism.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34520,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Tourism Research Empirical Insights","volume":"4 2","pages":"Article 100105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49567055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
