To consider locally varying relationships, we developed an integrated framework and model, employing spatial path analysis to address spatial interactions at the community level between tourism sectors, community resilience, and community quality of life. The proposed model was applied to Florida, a US state heavily reliant on tourism and regularly affected by natural hazards. Findings indicate that community resilience spatially mediates the positive and/or negative effects of two tourism sectors on community quality of life: Accommodation and Amusement/Gambling/Recreation, leading to spatially varying positive/negative relationships between tourism and community quality of life across communities. This study demonstrates that the accuracy of community-level measurements of tourism and qualty of life can be improved by acknowledging spatial interactions and the resilience status of each community.

The results indicate that the emotional richness of virtual streamers increases the viewer's perception of the streamer's attractiveness.

This paper addresses this gap with an in-depth study of tourism transitions in such a Danish peri-urban region. The analysis is based on observation, interview and documentary data collected over three years in one macro-case region and two micro-case destinations within that region. Drawing on the concept of robust action, the paper seeks a better understanding of what is termed complex challenges, associated with tourism transitions, and how specific destination development efforts can mitigate these. Four such challenges are identified relating to a lack of respectively investment, star attractions, access and accommodation. The two micro-cases illustrate how destinations can address such complex challenges through what we term robust destination development. The paper also develops a robust destination development framework and confirms its utility in a peri-urban tourism context. This framework enables destinations to cope with complex challenges and researchers to understand how they may do so.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48021,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Destination Marketing & Management","volume":"33 ","pages":"Article 100905"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212571X24000532/pdfft?md5=6d468a8b6a8ee5fcf5df6a1edffb2764&pid=1-s2.0-S2212571X24000532-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141607529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings reveal that an individual's positive emotion and emotional solidarity as a tourist significantly and positively impact their corresponding emotion and emotional solidarity when acting as a resident.

Firstly, this paper utilizes deep learning techniques to perceive images from three perspectives: image scene, visual aesthetics and emotional experience, based on photos of inbound tourists in Beijing on the Flickr website. Secondly, spatial visualization analysis of the perceived image is carried out with the help of tourism resource distribution to provide suggestions for tourism planning. The results show that: (1) Beijing's inbound tourism cognitive images can be categorized as food, culture, people, architecture, recreation, natural scenery, city life, animals and infrastructure.
