Advancements in spatiotemporal modeling have emerged as invaluable tools, offering unprecedented insights into the complex patterns of tourist behavior. However, existing spatiotemporal models rely on spatial dependencies captured at a single period and do not sufficiently account for spatial heterogeneity. Therefore, this study introduces a multi-period adaptive spatiotemporal convolutional network. The model applies the Fast Fourier Transform and a spatiotemporal graph attention mechanism to detect major periods and capture multi-level spatial patterns and spatial heterogeneity. Experiments on two datasets with varied time resolutions and geographical areas show the model's superiority over baseline approaches. The results confirm that integrating multi-period spatial dependencies and heterogeneity greatly improves forecasting accuracy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48452,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Tourism Research","volume":"119 ","pages":"Article 104233"},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148566000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Findings reveal a shift from eco-social aims toward a green growth agenda, prioritizing competitiveness over redistribution or ecological limits. Despite growing public demand for tourism degrowth and justice, governance structures marginalize civic influence. The study highlights how sustainability language is co-opted to legitimize expansion, raising concerns about greenwashing. We argue for redesigning tourism taxes with participatory governance, progressive criteria, and sufficiency-based goals.

Furthermore, income inequalities drive communities to strive for front-stage status, risking homogenization. Important manifestations of symbiotic relationships within heritage communities are multistage structures, which represent an adaptive community-developed system to address tourism impacts.

However, the gradual learning process in general educational contexts struggles to explain the abrupt transformative processes triggered by red tourism. Based on experiential learning theory, through two experimental studies, this study constructs a model for adolescents' internalization of red spirit using the Laval nozzle structure from fluid mechanics and validates the mechanism and effects of red spirit internalization. Taking Red flag Canal and Luding Bridge as the experimental scenario respectively, Study 1 examines the distribution characteristics of metamorphosis, internalization mechanisms, and the psychological result of internalization. Study 2 further revalidates the distribution characteristics and mechanisms of metamorphosis and examines the behavioral results of internalization. Results show that red tourism is more effective than formal education in facilitating metamorphosis among adolescents, which is not continuous but abrupt. Adolescents achieve metamorphosis through resonance and understanding during red activities, which are key mechanisms for internalization. The outcomes of internalization manifest at both psychological and behavioral levels, namely, the assimilation and practice of red spirit. This study empirically validates the mechanism of adolescents' internalization of red spirit and constructs a structural model of transformative internalization, providing practical insights for the inheritance of red spirit.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48452,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Tourism Research","volume":"117 ","pages":"Article 104118"},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146189499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
