In contrast, the discernible effect on star hotel room prices is minimal, though spatially varied patterns emerge. Furthermore, this inquiry illuminates salient geographical determinants that influence the supply of shared accommodations.

Destination marketing is pivotal in shaping a destination's image, making it essential to understand the role of tourism podcasts in marketing efforts. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of podcasts operated by destination marketing organizations on the perceived destination image and travel intentions of podcast listeners. Quantitative data was collected through an online questionnaire (n = 413). Participants rated the destination on image and travel intention, listened to a podcast stimulus, and then rated the destination on image and travel intention a second time. The findings reveal that participants had a better perceived image of the destination after listening to the podcast than before, and this positively influenced their travel intentions. The paper discusses the practical implications of utilizing destination podcasts as an effective addition to a destination's marketing strategy, alongside a critical evaluation of the operational effort required.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48021,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Destination Marketing & Management","volume":"37 ","pages":"Article 101022"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144089486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the academic community has largely overlooked this issue. Based on the Stimulus-Organism-Response theory, this study constructs a causal relationship model involving perceived homogeneity, psychological fatigue, and intentional avoidance in the context of tourism live streaming. Using the PLS-SEM method, survey data from 306 tourists who watch tourism livestreams every day were analyzed. The analysis identified two factors that contribute to tourists' psychological fatigue: perceived information homogeneity and perceived e-servicescape homogeneity. Tourists' reactions to homogeneity include an internal processing organism, encompassing three dimensions of psychological fatigue: cognitive, emotional, and motivational. The ultimate behavioral response to these fatigues is intentional avoidance. This study advances the online tourism marketing and virtual tourism literature by developing and empirically testing a comprehensive model and provides practical guidance for tourism marketers and live streaming organizers by revealing the dual nature of live streaming in tourism.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48021,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Destination Marketing & Management","volume":"37 ","pages":"Article 101024"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144068442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results found residents to be generally apathetic towards empowerment, with psychological, social, political, and economic empowerment all falling in the “Low Priority” quadrant when using a scale-centered approach. However, when using a data-centered technique, “Economic Empowerment” and “Political Empowerment” fell into the “Concentrate Here” quadrant. However, “Social Empowerment” landed in the “Possible Overkill” quadrant, and “Psychological Empowerment” landed in the “Keep up the Good Work” quadrant. Results suggest that tourism managers within Brevard should focus on coordinated efforts to improve resident involvement and access to decision-making, and better distribute or highlight the economic benefits tourism brings to the county. If researchers and practitioners really care about empowering residents, more research is needed to identify residents’ empowerment priorities and benchmark how well destinations are performing on those priorities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48021,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Destination Marketing & Management","volume":"37 ","pages":"Article 101017"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143799554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experiment 2 expanded upon this by gathering data from 165 tourists observing Shaanxi’s linguistic landscape through eye-tracking devices and electromyography. The results reveal a transformation process–from visual stimulation to experiencing emotional engagement. This transformation is mediated by aesthetic experience for emotional pleasure and perceptual fluency for emotional arousal. This study underscores the complexity of the tourist gaze, emphasizing the necessity for individual cognitive processing and recognition.

In general, China's cruise market offers only a small number of cruises and similar types of cruise itinerary products. As such, additional options are urgently needed to meet the growing demand. In this paper, we use a choice experiment (CE) approach to investigate Chinese tourists' preferences for exploring cruise itinerary attributes via a marginal willingness to pay (MWTP). To identify the relevant aspects of the itinerary at cruisers' own valuation, the existing literatures, products on sale, and expert interviews were used as key guidelines. Adopting the orthogonal design allowed for the creation of a subset of the possible choice to investigate tourists' preferences. Finally, the study obtained 935 responses from Chinese tourists for conducting logit analysis and generating the best cruise itineraries profile. Findings indicated that duration and final destination were the most influential attributes of cruise passengers, followed by the ship size, cabin, price, and travel time.
