While significant, these approaches assume a singular, holistic view of culture that is at odds with recent approaches in the sociology of culture that stress the domain-specific, situational, and flexible nature of cultural scripts. Using fresh empirical evidence of Chinese tourists to non-mainstream destinations, this article demonstrates that tourism frequently disembeds tourists from traditional sources of cultural authority. I suggest viewing culture in tourism as a contextual set of repertoires used to (1) draw symbolic boundaries, (2) perform situational, diverse scripts, and (3) self-reflect on personal and collective identities. These results counter the idea that Chinese tourists have internalised one master set of cultural responses.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48452,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Tourism Research","volume":"108 ","pages":"Article 103803"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141607242","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}

Six concepts of value for research into dark events are identified: commercialisation; approaches; public sphere; deviant behaviour; experiences; presence of death. The conceptual framework establishes a coherent conceptual footing for dark event research, and highlights links to established theories and methods that can be of value to future researchers in this novel area.

This research context features a quasi-experimental setting and a regression-discontinuity design to infer the causal effects of incentives on reviewing behavior. Regarding effort management, the results reveal that tourists manage their effort to earn rewards more quickly at the review-length cutoff.

Based on this research gap, we explore the matching effect between emojis and travel experience sharing. We found that (1) in desirability (feasibility) sharing, the use of emotional (semantic) emojis increased the perceived usefulness of travel posts more, with emotional arousal (processing fluency) playing a mediating role; (2) emoji replications had a significant moderating effect; and (3) in desirability-emotional emoji matching, with the increase in the number of replications, the perceived usefulness increased in an inverted U shape.

We found that uncertainty tends to increase prices as destinations pass uncertainty to consumers. However, in order to minimize the negative effect of higher prices in their bookings, destinations tend to intensify their promotion efforts. Altogether, uncertainty typically affects more consumers than destinations, which in most cases see their profits increase because of the increase in prices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48452,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Tourism Research","volume":"107 ","pages":"Article 103795"},"PeriodicalIF":13.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160738324000720/pdfft?md5=cb0102ee8347340ecb74f95284649312&pid=1-s2.0-S0160738324000720-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141264258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
