The purpose of this research is to assess what factors influence the likelihood of Emirati tourism students considering this vocation. A model that incorporates Career Decision-Making Profile and Arabian Gulf Social Contract dimensions was developed. Survey results ( n = 186) show that the nature of the job is considered attractive and, traits like ‘willingness to compromise’ and ‘independent decision making’, increased the likelihood of choosing the profession. Yet, “classic public sector” job preferences and perceptions on societal sentiment toward the ‘appropriacy’ of nonconventional vocations acted as deterrents. Recommendations are to make higher education internship programs more tailored to the individual student and modify the remit of the tour guide role at government-owned sites and venues.","PeriodicalId":47333,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142224248","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}

Environmental perception negatively impacts tourism effects and resident attitudes, while the industry convergence path has not significantly impacted resident attitudes. The tourism industry convergence path impacts resident attitudes by the full mediator convergence effects and environmental perceptions, where environmental perceptions have a negative impact and convergence effects have a positive influence. The demographic characteristics of residents appeared to have various environmental perceptions and attitudes to the tourism industry convergence.

This study examines viable strategies for revitalizing hotel operations in the post-pandemic context, focusing on Medellín, Colombia. Using the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) technique, we evaluate the relative importance of different strategies and their applicability in different scenarios. The study identifies five key strategies, prioritized as follows: differentiation, service development, market penetration, liquidation, and backward integration. Our findings show that while traditional strategies such as differentiation remain highly valued, their implementation during the pandemic is challenging. The inclusion of liquidation among the top strategies indicates the severe impact of the crisis. The proposed model allows for a comprehensive assessment of strategic approaches and emphasizes the importance of adaptability in responding to unprecedented challenges. This research contributes new insights to the evaluation of competitive strategies in the context of a global crisis and provides a methodological framework that can inform strategic decision-making in the hotel industry as it copes with recovery and future uncertainties.","PeriodicalId":47333,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185241","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 examines the CFTE triggers and possible outcomes and also investigates the role of brand equity. It also incorporates staff cohesion as a personal environmental component and ties the balance theory to the brand experience theory by examining brand equity as a distinct outcome of CFTE. The results of a study conducted on 574 food tourists in authentic Egyptian fine dining establishments show that sensory and personal environment elements have a large and favourable impact on consumers’ CFTE, with restaurant atmosphere having the greatest influence. The results suggest that CFTE influences brand awareness, brand image, and perceived quality. Remarkably, brand trust moderates the relationship between perceived quality and brand loyalty but not the one between brand awareness, brand image, and brand loyalty. The study provided a significant contribution to restaurateurs.","PeriodicalId":47333,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185242","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}

Specifically, the participants’ perceived impacts and their views regarding the medium- and long-term future of their business following COVID-19 and the recent volcanic eruption were gathered. The study used an inductive approach through semi-structured, in-depth, open-ended interviews, complemented with on-site observations and note-taking. The analysis reveals the significance of seven dimensions. For instance, the financial loss/gain, the turmoil, and dejection dimensions help deepen the understanding of the crises’ impacts. The tailoring and buoyancy dimensions underscore adaptiveness and optimism in responding to unprecedented crises, while the despondency and prudence dimensions indicate pessimism and caution. A developed framework highlights the dimensions’ contribution and theoretical and practical implications for communities facing extreme disruptive challenges.","PeriodicalId":47333,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142224154","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}

Specifically, this research looks at the effect of thematic tour group offerings on consumers’ travel intentions. It explores whether giving consumers the option of a thematic tour group might lower risk perceptions, enticing them to travel.

The aim of this study is to shed light on the mechanisms that foster hotel innovations (differentiating between service, process, and organizational innovation) to improve their competitive advantage in terms of cost and differentiation. Based on a sample of 212 Spanish hotels, our empirical results find a positive and chain-moderated influence of dynamic capabilities (sensing, seizing, and reconfiguring) on different types of hotel innovations. Furthermore, while service, process, and organizational innovation are positively related to the improvement of differentiation competitive advantage, only process innovation is significantly related to cost competitive advantage. This research makes a useful contribution to both academic literature and professional hotel managers, who should be attentive to the microfoundations of dynamic capabilities and hotel innovation.","PeriodicalId":47333,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141797351","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 aims to refine the analysis of tourists’ engagement in rural tourism dimensions by leveraging perceived value theory. Focusing on the rural tourism unit of Zhengzhou, this paper employs a four-dimensional approach encompassing service perception, ecological perception, product perception, and tourists’ participation. Utilizing a Likert five-level scale questionnaire distributed in June to July 2023 and employing structural equation modelling (SEM), the study examines the interplay between tourists’ perceptions and their contribution to rural tourism participation. Findings underscore the importance of integrating perceived value theory into rural tourism analysis, enhancing understanding of key influencing factors. Notably, tourists exhibit a heightened perception of environmental quality, with service perception significantly influencing participation. Conversely, while a positive correlation exists between product and ecological perceptions, its impact on participation is comparatively weaker. These insights carry practical implications for enhancing rural tourism services and fostering greater tourist participation, thus bolstering rural revitalization efforts. This study addresses a gap in prior research by developing and validating a comprehensive model that explores the perception-participation dynamics in rural tourism contexts.","PeriodicalId":47333,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141737148","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}

Through qualitative analysis, key decision-makers articulate their nuanced viewpoints, concerns, and aspirations regarding TikTok integration into branding strategies. The findings reveal that luxury hotel managers perceive TikTok’s universal appeal, positive user engagement, and cost-effectiveness as advantageous for reaching diverse audiences. However, they also recognize the challenge of maintaining consistent brand representation and controlling negative impacts due to the platform’s potential for virality. Creativity and novelty emerge as crucial elements for effective brand communication, highlighting the importance of innovative storytelling and visually captivating presentations. Moreover, targeted engagement and brand affinity are emphasized, underscoring the significance of tailored messaging and loyalty-building initiatives. Nevertheless, challenges arise in aligning luxury with TikTok’s perceived mass-market association, necessitating finesse to navigate the tension between accessibility and exclusivity. Overall, this study sheds light on the complex process of cultivating upscale vibes on TikTok and the strategic shift required to redefine luxury narratives on a platform known for its broad user base. The practical insights offered here are valuable for luxury hotel managers, marketers, and researchers seeking to understand TikTok’s role in luxury brand communication.","PeriodicalId":47333,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141737147","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}

At the same time, hospitality firms show an increasing concern with environmental practices, in line with customers’ changes of attitude and awareness of their environmental footprint. This paper analyses the content of reviews posted on TripAdvisor by guests staying in a large sample of environmentally certified hotels. The objective is to find out if sustainability concerns are present in guests’ reviews and identify the most important sustainability attributes. Using the Maxqda and Leximancer software, 1748 reviews from 95 Portuguese hotels were analysed; the content analysis evidences that guests’ predominant themes regarding their experiences are mostly common and independent of the category, average review, or type of travel. Eco-issues are primarily absent from the reviews. Although all analysed hotels are ‘eco-certified’, that label does not seem to be associated with guests’ attitudes and concerns. The results have relevant implications for hospitality managers.","PeriodicalId":47333,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141509221","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}
