Many hosts utilize an LSE Online Platform (LSEOP) company such as Airbnb or Vacation Rentals by Owner (VRBO) to rent out a host’s property to a guest and receive payments from the guest including sales and lodging taxes, and they also remit payments to hosts and government agencies. Governmental agencies receive taxes from LSEOPs and distribute taxes to appropriate government accounts. The governmental agencies also enact laws and legislation to govern the activities of guests, hosts, and LSEOPs. This complex process serves the interests of each party involved but at times these diverse interests interfere with another party’s concerns resulting in conflicts, lawsuits, and public policy. This article addresses only regulations within the United States. Using a content analysis design, it provides a summary of LSE regulations for each state, thus allowing comparisons in determining highly taxed versus lesser taxed properties and highly regulated environments versus laissez-faire destinations. Although LSE companies typically transact the financial aspects of the stay, hosts are ultimately responsible for complying with other public policy regulations such as parking, noise, trash, and traffic laws. This study analyzed the most recent court cases among LSEOPs and government entities that illustrate some of the push and pull of public policy decisions on short-term rentals across the United States.","PeriodicalId":47888,"journal":{"name":"Cornell Hospitality Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41988292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the hospitality industry has taken major steps toward net carbon zero and even net positive business, we argue that it has another significant advance to make. The United Nations has dedicated 2021–2030 as the decade of ecosystem restoration, and along with it, several other organizations offer guidance on how businesses should approach the natural environment. Considering the role of hospitality as a consumer of nature, we call for the industry to implement these principles in practice through nature-based solutions and restorative and regenerative hospitality. To strengthen this transformation, we urge hospitality management education to include the basic concepts of ecology, biodiversity, and environmental science, along with their application, in curricula. By doing this, education can advance from presenting sustainability actions as a necessity into illustrating and justifying their need on a planetary scale. The change will facilitate the next step the hospitality industry must take in transforming its relationship with the natural environment.","PeriodicalId":47888,"journal":{"name":"Cornell Hospitality Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42316145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Overbooking helps address travel uncertainty by accepting reservations beyond available rooms but may result in walk or re-accommodation costs if all (most) of these reservations materialize. Walk costs are not homogeneous across all customer types, with costs potentially different for loyal (branded, direct) versus non/less-loyal (third-party-intermediated) guests. We formulate an optimal overbooking model with class-dependent walk-out costs for a hotel with two classes of reservations—loyal members with higher walk-out costs, and nonmembers with lower walk-out costs, but with each class at the same room rate. We embed a dynamic walk-out model, one where guests may be proactively walked, that is, walked while rooms still available, into an overbooking model. The joint model determines optimal walk-out decisions to minimize expected walk-out costs while also determining optimal overbooking levels. We investigate how class-dependent no-show rates and walk-out costs impact optimal walk-out decisions and optimal overbooking levels. We find that changes in the no-show rates for a customer class only impact the overbooking levels of the related class whereas changes in class-specific walk-out costs impact all customer class overbooking levels. We offer managerial insight into a proactive and strategic walk-out policy for the lodging industry, aiming to achieve optimal overbooking levels.","PeriodicalId":47888,"journal":{"name":"Cornell Hospitality Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42053422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A multilevel path analysis is conducted using a data set comprising 62 managers, 269 employees, and 681 customers from a South Korean restaurant chain. The findings show that transformational leadership in restaurants increases organizational innovativeness, which indirectly influences creative customer behavior through customer engagement and depletion. An innovative climate also moderates these causal relationships. This study integrates the service-dominant logic framework into research on innovation and creativity to better understand the role and impact of customers in cultivating innovation and creativity.","PeriodicalId":47888,"journal":{"name":"Cornell Hospitality Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49665679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Survey data from 450 international tourists from the United States were collected through mTurk and analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS 3.0. The results suggest that tourists’ self-protective behavior is directly influenced by their perception of threats and the appraisal of coping mechanisms, but not by trust in the destination government. However, trust in the destination government has an indirect effect on self-protective behavior mediated by threat appraisal and coping appraisal. Thus, tourism stakeholders must focus on building and maintaining trust in government to encourage compliance and self-protective behavior of tourists. Limitations, implications, and suggestions for future research are further discussed.","PeriodicalId":47888,"journal":{"name":"Cornell Hospitality Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48114191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is an extensive research that examines the connection between tourism activities and QoL. Although the existing studies converge in that QoL and well-being should be incorporated and made a central aspect of tourism policies and strategies, the current literature lacks an integrated comprehensive approach to how QoL can be incorporated into tourism decision-making. Tourism decision-making organizations have yet to integrate QoL into the assessment of important strategy-related benchmarks (e.g., performance, tourism satellite accounts, demand, and resource integration). Thus, the objective of this article is to offer a conceptual framework integrating QoL and tourism public policy. The suggested model provides guidelines regarding the implementation of QoL at different stages of policy development. The framework will provide a guide for tourism destinations in formulating and implementing policies with a focus on improving the community’s QoL.","PeriodicalId":47888,"journal":{"name":"Cornell Hospitality Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45672445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected through on-site and online surveys of 391 tourists who visited religious destinations and analyzed using partial least squares (PLS)-structural equation modeling. The results confirmed the relationships between tourists’ values, beliefs, and personal norms that predicted PEB. This study also found that religious beliefs strengthen the effect of personal norms on PEB. This research contributes to improving the understanding of religious tourists’ PEB and offers suggestions for destination management organizations (DMOs), religious center authorities, and policymakers to encourage the PEB of tourists in religious destinations.","PeriodicalId":47888,"journal":{"name":"Cornell Hospitality Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42464330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
