The present research seeks to fill knowledge and empirical gaps in the field of wellness tourism and address theoretical inconsistencies by examining the key constructs that constitute memorable wellness tourism experiences (MWTE). An exploratory qualitative investigation was conducted to identify specific dimensions of MWTE. Data were gathered from international primary wellness tourists, selected through criterion-based snowball sampling, during October – December 2022, employing semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis was performed based on grounded theory approach, using NVivo software for data analysis. Findings revealed ten dimensions; professionalism, meaningfulness, environmental aesthetics, refreshment, hedonism, hospitality, involvement, novelty, value for money, and authenticity with respective indicators (40). Opposing prior studies, study outcomes acknowledged professionalism and value for money as crucial MWTE determinants while revealing a new and intriguing determinant: environmental aesthetics. Identifying MWTE constructs fosters more in-depth insights into the aspects that constitute and reinforce wellness travel experiences. This profound knowledge may establish evidence-based decisions, policies, and practises that strengthen wellness tourists’ overall well-being and contentment.","PeriodicalId":47333,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Research","volume":"58 25","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138946366","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}

Holmes","doi":"10.1177/14673584231221967","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/14673584231221967","url":null,"abstract":"Does a person’s everyday behavior at home influence their desire to travel sustainably and pay for it? Testing the Holmes, Dodds and Frochot (HDF) model, this research sought to understand the influence that daily behavior – measured by frugality, altruism, and pro-environmental behavior – has on both sustainable travel behavior and a traveler’s propensity to pay. This paper augments the HDF model in that it finds sustainable travel behavior to be not just a single construct, but rather influenced separately by sociocultural, environmental and local consumption behaviors. Second, this study also examines how these differences in sustainable travel influence the traveler’s propensity to pay. The findings of this study explain that day-to-day behavior at home does explain a traveler’s propensity to pay for sustainability efforts when traveling. Those who are more altruistic are more likely to be more environmentally friendly and more likely to look for local experiences when traveling. Those who are more environmentally minded at home are also more likely to seek out cultural, environmentally friendly and local experiences when traveling. In contrast, those who are more frugal are less likely to be environmentally friendly when traveling.","PeriodicalId":47333,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Research","volume":"54 30","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138995413","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 part of this study, 22 interviews were conducted with homestay owners to explore the benefits and challenges of women’s involvement in this type of tourism. The findings show that homestay tourism program has helped women to generate extra income, strengthen family ties, and increase their social influence while reducing domestic violence. However, cultural expectations and gender roles continue to pose challenges. This study underscores the importance of women’s participation in homestay tourism program and provides suggestions for promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment in tourism development. The study highlights the potential of women’s involvement in creating a sustainable and inclusive tourism industry and calls for further research and action to promote gender equality and women’s rights in tourism. The findings have practical implications for policymakers and practitioners in the tourism sector.","PeriodicalId":47333,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Research","volume":"103 3‐5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138976933","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 such, they are an important but under-researched hotel operation. They range in size and star rating and can be boutique and/or upscale luxury hotels, independently owned and operated or managed by one of the large international hotel chains. There are three types of heritage hotels: original, simulated, and converted. The first are hotels whose purpose has remained unchanged since their inception and, despite modernization, retain their originality. The second are simulated heritage hotels, which are associated with symbolic heritage elements. The third are historic structures (castles, cathedrals, palaces, etc.) that have been repurposed and converted into hotels, imbuing them with new symbolic and economic meanings. This research note investigates the third type of heritage hotels. These are buildings rich in history, a sense of place and hold cultural meanings for their localities and communities. The note employs an exploratory, qualitative research strategy and reports data from semi-structured in-depth interviews with 16 customer-facing employees and managers in three independently owned and operated United Kingdom (UK) rural boutique heritage hotels. This qualitative approach provided an opportunity to attain depth in revealing the participants’ service experiences and encounters. The research note advances extant scholarship, which has examined employee interactions in small heritage accommodations as emotional and individualised guest experiences. It suggests that historic sites repurposed as heritage hotels have distinctive qualities, setting them apart from other hotels as hospitality environments. As such, their staff regard themselves as stewards and storytellers of local culture as much as receptionists, servers, etc. It concludes by advancing possibilities for further research on this conceptualization of heritage hotel employees.","PeriodicalId":47333,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Research","volume":"58 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136346812","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 argument relies on Jackson and Mazzei’s (2013, 2018, 2022) “plugging in” notion of thinking with theory to simultaneously consider power as described by Foucault using the role theory of Merton and linking them with Lukes’ three dimensions of power. Through the progression of thinking/interpreting with each theoretical perspective while being conscious of the others, we provide a conceptualization of the impact discourse choices have on roles and power structures that emerge in tourism and hospitality businesses. This new view of the service encounter explains tourist dominance where the host willingly takes a compliance role due to discourse choices.","PeriodicalId":47333,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Research","volume":" 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135241700","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 COVID-19 pandemic forced researchers into isolation and resulted in the cancellation of face-to-face academic seminars, conferences, and events. To continue academic knowledge transfer and research collaborations, an online seminar series called Iso-CHATS was created. The design of Iso-CHATS was theoretically informed by the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM), a framework focusing on maximising the uptake of messages through communication. The series became very popular and extended to a 2-year period throughout 2020 and 2021, attracting over 400 participants from 15 countries. This paper reports on the design of Iso-CHATS through the application of the ELM for academic knowledge transfer. The leaders of Iso-CHATS prioritised four factors for enhancing the uptake of messages: information quality, source credibility, interaction, and accessibility. This research challenges existing conceptions of the ELM, showing how messages are received and understood by participants in an online seminar environment. This study is important because it highlights how to design research events to enhance knowledge transfer outcomes and support wellbeing through collegial online connections.","PeriodicalId":47333,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Research","volume":" 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135193000","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 target population of the study was customers who had previous food delivery mobile application experience within the 12 months period. An online survey was conducted to collect the data and analyzed by the means of structural equation modeling. Ubiquitous connectivity, contextual offer, transaction accuracy, and content quality had significant positive impacts on customer satisfaction with food delivery mobile commerce application (MCA). The results also supported moderating effect of perceived risk on the relationship between customer satisfaction and repeat usage intentions. The study adds empirial evidence on the relationships between MCA quality components customer satisfaction. In addition, this study exaines the moderating role of perceived risk in the relationship between customer satisfaction and repeat usage intentions for food delivery mobile applications. The study can assist practitioners and MCA providers involved in the restaurant industry by showing how to configure quality components to satisfy customers and make them more willing to use food delivery mobile applications in casual dining restaurants.","PeriodicalId":47333,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Research","volume":"5 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135480529","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}

Kastamonu University Scientific Research Projects Coordination Department has supported this research. In this context, the service robot was leased. The service robot has been shown to customers in the lobbies, restaurants, rest areas, and cafes of accommodation establishments. Customers were enabled to interact with the robot. The participant observation method was adopted in the study. Unstructured interviews were conducted. The data divided into categories from the perspective of the Technology Acceptance Model were processed using the MAXQDA analysis tool. The density map was drawn from the “Document Portfolio.” The data were obtained as a result of participant observation. It is divided into two categories. These; are “Behavioral Responses” and “Cognitive and Emotional Responses.” The most prominent themes within the categories are video/photo taking, speaking, touching (behavioral), excitement, liking, and having fun (cognitive and emotional). The user rate of these reactions is 7/10 on average. It was observed that the participants enjoyed, were satisfied, and wanted to interact with the service robot. These findings reveal that behavioral intentions related to technology acceptance may occur against service robots.","PeriodicalId":47333,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Research","volume":"58 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135726131","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 paper presents a systematic literature review of peer-reviewed articles on tourism’s environmental stimuli using three main search streams: atmospherics; servicescape; and experiencescape. Scopus and Web of Science databases were searched, and 66 papers referring to the stimuli elements in the tourism setting were identified and classified into three dimensions: physical; social; and experience. The results indicate that environmental psychology is complemented by marketing to explain the servicescape from the experience economy perspective. Based on the topic’s gaps and trends, the authors propose the novel construct of a “holisticscape” as an extension of the servicescape to influence tourists’ holistic health (body, mind, and spirit). Furthermore, a research agenda with three propositions is proposed to deepen the knowledge on holisticscape. The systematisation of the setting stimuli developed in this study can guide researchers and practitioners to design and operationalise the experiences for positive post-consumption behaviour.","PeriodicalId":47333,"journal":{"name":"Tourism and Hospitality Research","volume":"224 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135876323","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}
