This study promotes the role of urban cultural attractions as an additional significant resource category for destination development. Through the arrival of new and diversified cultural experiences, destinations such as Australia can improve their existing tourism portfolios. The study is concerned with qualitative aspects of the cultural economy, namely the subjective experiences and expectations of past, existing, and potential tourists. It offers recommendations and comments on the use of alternative cultural attractions in national tourism campaigns.","PeriodicalId":422970,"journal":{"name":"Delivering Tourism Intelligence","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129204929","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}

However, the effect of exhibitor experience on the international trade show processes has not been addressed in the literature. This chapter fills the gap by examining the moderating role of exhibitors’ trust, commitment, and satisfaction at World Travel Mart London 2017. The purposes are to identify the concepts of experiential marketing, to develop a conceptual framework, and to propose a new perspective on exhibitors’ performance at such events. Using survey data, structural equation modeling was applied to test the theoretical links and assess the value of competing explanations.","PeriodicalId":422970,"journal":{"name":"Delivering Tourism Intelligence","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122681883","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}

Practical viewpoints, including strategic planning guidelines, operational documents, and event design philosophies shed light on professional conference management.

The research, based on a quantitative method, identifies five motivational factors which affect the satisfaction of tourists. The findings improve our understanding of people who choose coffee plantations for their holidays and offer opportunities to maintain and enhance the current situation for this type of agritourism site.","PeriodicalId":422970,"journal":{"name":"Delivering Tourism Intelligence","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130043806","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}

Adapting to these new challenges, and especially the global spread of food-borne diseases, requires an understanding of the cabin crew role as food handlers and the risks associated with this task. This chapter outlines the key factors that determine the safe delivery of in-flight food services, highlights the benefits of best practice to airline operators, passengers, and tourism boards, and addresses the policy implications for airline regulators and national health authorities.","PeriodicalId":422970,"journal":{"name":"Delivering Tourism Intelligence","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133438015","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}

Such joint promotional processes were particularly apparent in 2018, the European Year of Cultural Heritage. This chapter argues for forms of rural development through cultural tourism where these options also preserve cultural heritage and local traditions. Communities are often the core to national identity by preserving the authentic traditions and customs of its culture. Developing this community base for local well-being provides the generic core of this chapter. To illustrate the relevance of local community destination management, two cases are presented, an archaeological site in Spain and a natural and historic site in Belgium.","PeriodicalId":422970,"journal":{"name":"Delivering Tourism Intelligence","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132903853","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}

It also supports the theory’s applicability toward explaining the nature of tourism as a complex adaptive system, and reveals that Mount Rigi’s development did not occur in isolation, but involved various interdependent tourism components and external factors at both the macro and micro levels.","PeriodicalId":422970,"journal":{"name":"Delivering Tourism Intelligence","volume":"123 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133596656","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}

As a leading mass destination in Spain, they receive more than 14 million tourists annually. Focusing on this region, multiple cases are explored as a collaborative learning tool. The consideration of such cases can stimulate discussion, closely examine issues, and encourage consensual decisions. Taken together, the cases assist in providing information about local business realities; they help entrepreneurs know more about regional business challenges and remain up to date with new developments. By focusing on cases, professionals and entrepreneurs can be mutually supportive in the teaching-learning process and in shaping change. Multiple stakeholders can learn to identify problems, evaluate situations, and make decisions using examples from other entrepreneurs.","PeriodicalId":422970,"journal":{"name":"Delivering Tourism Intelligence","volume":"20 Suppl 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123580783","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}
