The restrictions on international travel and the social distancing measures imposed because of the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic have led to the appearance and growth of alternative in-country ways of spending one's free time. The purpose of this article is to analyse glamping-type servicesas a way of adapting to the current pandemic by the Romanian tourist sector. The attributes associated with the sustainability of the accommodation units are the most important in the minds of tourists (closeness to nature, peace and relaxation, organic environment, eco-friendly behaviour, ecological practices, ecological activities, social distancing). In Romania's case, the sustainable attributes of these locations and their high degree of safety represented the mobile for choosing them by domestic tourists. The study represents an expansion of models for the evaluation of tourist services by proposing the addition of sustainable attributes. For managerial implications, the article offers some potential development directions for glamping by rethinking the Triple Helix model.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48021,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Destination Marketing & Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212571X23000422/pdfft?md5=cf7ed8a67e3a4f0ba0260af434d45a6f&pid=1-s2.0-S2212571X23000422-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138475287","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}

It focused on verifying the mediating effect of emotional experience and the moderating effect of destination brand self-congruity.

Aiming to expand the literature on sustainable rural tourism, this study cuts from tourist satisfaction and proposes a mixed methodology to investigate insights for sustaining rural destinations from online comments. Specifically, the KMeans clustering algorithm is first utilized to discover service attributes that visitors value; then Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA), an effective satisfaction analysis tool, is adopted to understand tourist satisfaction; to develop specific sustainable strategies, using an advanced opinion extraction technique this work identified dissatisfaction factors of visitors. 5832 online comments of two adjacent rural destinations (i.e. Hongcun and Xidi) were crawled to validate the proposed methodology. Results show that five service attributes were discovered, including Natural environment, Price, Food, Hospitality, and Culture & heritage; Hongcun's Natural environment and Price require urgent measures, and its Food and Hospitality are at a competitive disadvantage compared to Xidi; detailed factors dissatisfying visitors were identified through opinion extraction technique, based on which specific sustainable strategies are generated for authorities and practitioners.
