In this sense, tour guides as tourism providers cocreate experiences and play an essential role in tourists’ encounters through heritage interpretation.\u0000 Among tourism providers, tour guides, through guided tours, can be considered a facilitator and a mediator of cocreative experiences. Therefore, this study explores ways to offer cocreative heritage tourism experiences through interpretation, highlighting their function as brokers within the\u0000 framework of Weiler and Black’s Experience Broker Theory. The methodology employed combined in-depth semi-structured interviews with 10 tour guides, and direct observation of 10 guided tours at the Royal Mosque of Isfahan. The study underscores the role of tour guides in creating a profound\u0000 spiritual experience for tourists. This research demonstrates the importance of tailored interpretive strategies in enhancing tourists’ cognitive and emotional experiences, reinforcing the guides’ role as empathy brokers within the cocreation paradigm. Tour guides progressed through\u0000 stages of brokering, from accommodating cultural backgrounds to explaining rituals and mystical concepts, culminating in a profound empathetic experience during the call to prayer. This process allowed tourists to deeply connect with the cultural and spiritual elements of the tour.","PeriodicalId":46032,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Review International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141653014","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}

Film tourism involves different actors with various interests, often making collaboration challenging. This study aims to understand how film tourism can succeed\u0000 within complex processes involving multiple actors by using in-depth semistructured interviews. Using actor-network theory and emphasizing the relational network in the case study of film location bus tours, it shows that human and nonhuman actors, the tourism and film industries, film commissions,\u0000 advertising agencies, residents, tourists, ports, and buses interact to create film tourism. This study shows that film tourism networks that were formed successfully are disbanded because of the changing relations between human and nonhuman actors in film tourism. The analysis reveals that\u0000 power lies in the network created by collaboration among all actors, and the future of film tourism development relies on how heterogeneity is processed. It critically examines the binary of host and guest in tourism and attempts to transcend it constructively. Theoretically, it extends the\u0000 context of how different actors’ interests are effectively processed. This study contributes toward enhancing sustainable tourism by reflecting the nature unique to the region, integrating with films shot in a destination to revitalize the regional economy.","PeriodicalId":46032,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Review International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140370890","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}

Despite that Chinese tourists’ behaviors have been researched extensively, limited attention has been given to understanding their travel intention towards Thailand, a popular destination in Southeast Asia. This\u0000 study proposes a theoretical framework via extended theory of planned behavior (TPB) model to ascertain factors influencing Chinese tourists’ travel intention to Thailand. With 261 data collected online, the study carried out analysis by using partial least squares structural equation\u0000 modeling (PLS-SEM) and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). The results revealed that the predictability of the extended TPB model was improved, highlighted tourists’ attitudes and destination attachments played pivotal roles in determining tourists’ travel intentions,\u0000 and perceived behavioral control positively affected attitude. Moreover, tourists’ attitudes and subjective norm significantly influenced destination attachment. The mediation analysis revealed that the effects of attitude and subjective norm on travel intention were transferred through\u0000 their attachments. The fsQCA analysis identified four heterogenous configurations to generate tourists’ travel intention. Methodologically, the study advanced the theoretical understanding of extended TPB model via a mixed approach of PLS-SEM and fsQCA, and obtained a unique perspective\u0000 of interdependencies among various factors that influence tourists’ travel intention and behaviors. Managerial implications are provided to comparable tourism destinations across Asia to appeal prospective tourists.","PeriodicalId":46032,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Review International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140370065","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}

Using consumer risk theory and protection motivation theory as a framework, this study explores the relationships between international\u0000 travel plans in 2023 and 2024–2025 and the likelihood of purchasing travel insurance (i. e., cancellation/interruption, emergency medical, baggage) with a sample of 1,264 US residents. Travel companion(s) and household income are examined as potential moderators and travel risk and sufficient\u0000 household income as mediators. Results reveal a likelihood to purchase all three travel insurance types, and travelers are twice as likely to buy insurance for international travel for 2024–2025 compared to 2023. Likelihood to purchase travel insurance is also influenced by travel risk\u0000 and having sufficient financial resources where sufficient financial resources partially mediates the relationships in question. Results suggest a new era of travel where risk is inherent and if travelers have sufficient financial resources, they will purchase travel insurance to mitigate\u0000 risks of potentially suffering financial losses. This is a new finding with implications for the travel insurance industry, which should find ways to partner with travel providers, such as wholesalers and group tours, to offer insurance to international travelers. Although COVID-19 has been\u0000 downgraded, other diseases are surfacing (e. g., monkeypox), leaving public health an important consideration. This and subsequent research will remain important to monitor how other outbreaks and risks impact the travel industry and travelers' methods to protect themselves.","PeriodicalId":46032,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Review International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49360697","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, little is known about how this segment of\u0000 travelers behaves in destinations from a space–time perspective. The purpose of this study is to examine the relevance of the order and visit length on backpackers' space–time behavior in an urban world heritage destination. Using geographic information system (GIS) software, the\u0000 sequence and the length of the visit were identified. To analyze the order of the places visited, we used the ordered logit method and to study the duration dimension a multivariate equation, estimated by OLS with heteroskedasticity robust errors, was selected. The results showed that no variable\u0000 in particular influences the order of the places visited in any of the parishes simultaneously, reinforcing the underlying randomness in relation to the order in which destination parishes are visited. Length of stay is mostly influenced by factors related to mobility conditions as well as\u0000 factors exogenous to tourists' decision-making capacity.","PeriodicalId":46032,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Review International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43736373","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}
