The research reveals that historical storytelling significantly enhances tour guide interactions and perceptions of authentic places, with tour guide interaction partially mediating this effect. Moreover, tour guide interaction positively influences perceived educational, entertainment, experiential, and emotional values. Authentic places primarily amplify educational value, serving as a partial mediator between tour guide interaction and perceived education, and as a full mediator between tour guide interaction and perceived entertainment, experiential, and emotional values. These findings bridge knowledge gaps and provide valuable insights for tour guide training programs and tourism management strategies to elevate tourist engagement and satisfaction in historical sites.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48141,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Management Perspectives","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2023-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211973623001265/pdfft?md5=9e85b496cc0d57fe40c20bb1436b6ba3&pid=1-s2.0-S2211973623001265-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138289565","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}

Using over 97,000 online reviews, including 172 cruise ships across 16 brands, the current study applies sentiment analysis to explore how tourists express their sentiments about elements and attributes of the cruise experience and differences in market positioning. The results show that among 10 attributes and over 50 elements, attributes of enrichment activities, service, fitness, and recreation are the most pivotal antecedents of positive sentimental expression. Service, lecture, steward, show, snorkelling, spa, music, balcony, and the beach have shown high positive sentimental intensity. For negative sentimental expression, embarkation attributes, including elements of embarkation, debarkation, and disembarkation, are the dominant attribute. When tourists express negative sentiments, elements of the bed, casino, buffet, food, and staff are also exhibited higher intensity. As such, how other cruise attributes and elements stimulate the formation of tourists' sentiments is explored. Additionally, differences in tourists' sentiment expression in market positioning are identified, bringing a new research agenda to cruise brand positioning. This study provides a sentiment basis for a deep understanding of tourists' sentiment preference at cruise attribute and element levels to improve tourists' cruise experience. This study also exhibits a paradigm shift in sentiment research by establishing relationships between cruise attributes/elements and sentiment words.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48141,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Management Perspectives","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71417496","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}

Our article reviews the empirical studies on frontline employees' turnover intention in tourism and hospitality and proposes a research agenda for future research. Through a systematic and rigorous selection process, we obtained a sample of 72 empirical studies. By analyzing and synthesizing the research results from these studies, we found that: (a) studies on frontline employees' turnover intention in tourism and hospitality are mainly anchored in conservation of resources theory, social exchange theory, and the job demands-resources model; (b) turnover intention of frontline employees has been investigated in different cultural contexts mainly using quantitative methods; (c) various scales were utilized to measure turnover intention; and (d) antecedents, mediators, and moderators of frontline employees' turnover intention in a variety of tourism and hospitality contexts have been identified.

Based on complexity theory, this research examines the factors that stimulate solo travelers' purchase intentions when using AI chatbots, particularly covering the three main aspects of marketing efforts, communication quality, and affective characteristics. Drawing from a sample of 281 solo travelers, partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) are used to examine the proposed relationships. The PLS-SEM results illustrate that interaction, entertainment, trendiness, communication competence, and satisfaction have significant direct effects on purchase intentions. The fsQCA results further revealed four solutions exhibiting high purchase intentions among solo travelers. Different core, peripheral, and necessary causal conditions in each configuration path were identified. The findings enrich the AI chatbot literature by examining the underlying reasons why solo travelers react differently to this emerging technology and produce practical recommendations for designing AI chatbot systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48141,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Management Perspectives","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71416814","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}
