The Sufi sheikhs' perceptions towards visitors at their sacred sites remain underresearched. This is despite the fact that Sufi religious sites exist throughout a number of African and Asian countries, providing pilgrimage sites and retreat centers for both Muslim visitors and those of other faiths. Although a number of academic studies examine the host/guest relationship at different sacred sites of various religions, minimal academic research has been conducted on how tourism and tourists are perceived in an Islamic, particularly a Sufi Islamic, context. This research note aims to demonstrate and raise awareness concerning the lack of research of tourism at Sufi Islamic sites, and specifically research exploring the perspectives of Sufi host communities. How Sufi sheikhs perceive tourism development and how they cope with challenges created by visitors at their sacred sites are necessary questions for researchers and tourism planners in the Muslim world to consider in the future.","PeriodicalId":46032,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Review International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2020-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3727/154427219x15773977783056","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47709930","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}

The article begins with an analytical examination of the different elements, processes, and relationships involved in evaluating the slow philosophy as a worthwhile approach towards destination marketing and the sustainable tourism agenda in Pacific small islands. The academic discourse on the Cittaslow movement unquestionably offers an open discussion, but it has yet to address the application of this concept in small islands in the Pacific. Much of the current literature on the Cittaslow approach has focused on a European context, while some researchers have paid attention to the growing number of Cittaslow destinations in the Asia Pacific region. Following a review, this article seeks to fill the gap in the literature by not only emphasizing the importance of the movement, but it also examines the view that, the growing number of communities around the world adopting the slow philosophy, gives credibility to the adaptability of the movement in a variety of geographical areas. In doing so, this article contributes to the body of tourism management, marketing, and branding scholarship. This article also incorporates the varied and varying understandings about slow living, Slow Tourism, as well as sustainable tourism that are useful to develop models for marketing/branding places with specific potentialities and attributes such as small island destinations.","PeriodicalId":46032,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Review International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2020-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46324977","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}

Tourist guidebooks have long been used to sell regions and attractions to prospective tourists. Narratives in these guides often shift to reflect the changing economics, politics, and culture of a region or city. More recently, the rise of entrepreneurial urbanism has been one of those factors that have impacted tourist guidebooks. The (re)construction of a place image through entrepreneurial policies results in the promotion of a select package of facilities or highlighting specific attributes associated with that place. This article illustrates how entrepreneurial urban projects and policies can directly shape a city's tourist promotions. I use Oklahoma City as a case study to explore these impacts and examine more than 30 years of tourist guidebooks to understand the changing narratives of the city in light of entrepreneurial urban policies. More specifically, I show that Oklahoma City officials shifted tourist narratives from overt Old West constructs to constructs rooted in cosmopolitanism in light of entrepreneurial agendas, like the Metropolitan Area Projects and business improvement districts.","PeriodicalId":46032,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Review International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2020-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42105685","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}

The research was conducted using 356 international tourists visiting destination sites in Cape Coast who answered questions regarding tour services: accommodation, food services, tour guide performance, souvenir shopping, and community interaction. Structural equation modeling was used to test the six proposed hypotheses based on validated survey data from the tourists. The data revealed that community interactions, souvenir shopping, and accommodation had positive effects while food services and tour guide performance negatively influenced international tourist satisfaction. Additionally, tourist satisfaction had a positive effect on tourist loyalty. The results suggest that effective tour services encounter and tourist satisfaction can promote local city economies at destination via recommendations or revisitation of international tourists due to their memorable and unforgettable experiences. Again, the outcome of this research validates the usefulness of the transaction-specific customer satisfaction theory within city tourism literature and will help tourism officials, city managers, city developers, businesses, and tourism practitioners to have a better understanding of the studied core tour services within context.","PeriodicalId":46032,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Review International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2020-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3727/154427219x15741004672666","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44400702","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}

The analysis results illustrate that an increase in the global and European economic policy uncertainty index affects negatively to Borsa Istanbul (BIST) tourism index in Turkey in both the short and long run. In addition, global economic policy uncertainty has a greater impact on stock returns of tourism companies in the long run than European economic policy uncertainty. The causality test results support this statement and illustrate a unidirectional causality from global economic policy uncertainty to BIST Tourism Index (XTRZM). These findings proved that Turkey is not only for Europe but also a tourism center, globally. Analysis results implied that especially global economic policy uncertainty is a factor that should be taken into account to explain tourism stock returns. This article proposes that it will be useful to use the EPU index, especially global EPU, as a determinant of tourism stock returns. This result takes the existing theoretical infrastructure one step further than traditional tourism demand models.","PeriodicalId":46032,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Review International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2020-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46598335","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 an increasing number of studies on film-induced tourism, Anglophonic literature, rather than studies on Asia, receive most focus. This article is the first such attempt at systematically reviewing the literature focusing on Asia. Moreover, previous literature on Asia lacks in comprehensively understanding film-induced tourism because it overlooks the cross-disciplinary perspective. This article fills this gap by synthesizing the existing literature from a cross-disciplinary perspective. Utilizing a systematic literature review approach, 67 articles were identified using one of the largest online databases, Web of Science. The results revealed three research trends: film tourism impact, destination image and marketing, and demand and motivation. The following gaps in the literature were also identified: film tourist experiences, the impact on host communities, tourism policy and regulation, the cultural construction of film tourism, and impact research from different stakeholders' perspectives. Moreover, studies on Asia benefit from expanding the existing concept of film-induced tourism by focusing on the contents rather than media. This study contributes by filling the gaps of film tourist experiences and cultural construction of film tourism. Furthermore, cross-fertilization of tourism and fandom studies is proposed. Finally, the practical contribution of the study is highlighted—the same contents can be used repeatedly in various formats for longevity.","PeriodicalId":46032,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Review International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69746209","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}

Quantitative data were collected from a proportionally stratified, representative sample of 207 Greek five-star hotels' senior executives and analyzed with the principal component method of extraction and structural equation modeling. This led to the creation and validation of three prototype second-order latent variable models, which highlight and depict the impact of individual variables and their importance for a reward system creating an organizational climate for or against cultural change in hotels. The originality of the article lays on both theoretical and practical levels. On a theoretical level, the article's findings manage to fill a knowledge gap through a novel modeling of a reward system on a hotel's organizational climate in times of cultural change. On a practical level, the article findings enable hotels' executives to focus on specific variables of a reward system that can enhance and/or prevent a cultural change initiative.","PeriodicalId":46032,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Review International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69745847","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}

While sunbathing and other forms of sun exposure play a major role in tourism, they have been scarcely researched, and the objective of this study is to bridge this gap in the literature. The study examines the differences between the tourism and routine sun exposure patterns, attempting to reveal when and why individuals perceive sun exposure as dangerous. For this exploratory study, in-depth, semistructured interviews (N = 31) were conducted. The findings revealed three distinct behavioral patterns under different circumstances: (1) during everyday activities, participants did not use protection, as they did not perceive this exposure as dangerous; (2) at the beach or pool during nontourist leisure pastime, exposure to the sun is perceived as dangerous and protection is routinely used; and (3) in the course of vacations abroad, participants tend to expose themselves to the sun intensively, including for tanning purposes, without proper adherence to the use sun protection measures. These findings are consistent with the view of tourist spaces serve as \"liminal zones\" that allow individuals to take risks. The study suggests that relevant stakeholders such as public health authorities, tourism marketers, and holiday destinations should act to promote responsible sun exposure in the tourist context, to prevent skin cancer and other sunrelated diseases.","PeriodicalId":46032,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Review International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69745771","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}

This study seeks to investigate the concept of microentrepreneurship in the hospitality industry by exploring its motivations, challenges, risks, benefits, and critical success factors. The current study adopted a qualitative approach and used the semistructured interview as an instrument for collecting primary data. A total of 38 semistructured interviews were conducted with owners of hospitality microbusinesses as well as with academic and official experts in the entrepreneurship field. Collected data were transcribed, translated, and then analyzed using the thematic analysis technique. The results showed that entrepreneurs were mainly driven by economic motivations to engage in hospitality microbusiness, while limited financial resources represented a serious challenge for many microventures. Appropriate income was also perceived to be a significant advantage of hospitality microentrepreneurship. The findings revealed some key success factors for hospitality microbusinesses such as innovative or novel business ventures and competence and commitment of entrepreneurs to manage the business. The study provides valuable practical implications that would help supporting hospitality microenterprises.","PeriodicalId":46032,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Review International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69745860","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}
