This research aims to fill this gap by examining how the alignment and variations between these two types of content influence booking intentions. Analysis of large-scale real-world data from Airbnb revealed that booking intentions increase when (1) hosts’ descriptions share more common themes with guest reviews, (2) these shared themes carry similar sentiment between hosts and guests, and (3) interestingly, some variations in how hosts and guests emphasise different themes can actually boost booking intentions, particularly for higher-priced properties. These findings help hosts craft more effective property descriptions and guide platforms in developing content strategies that better connect host offerings with guest expectations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48469,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Management","volume":"109 ","pages":"Article 105134"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142988705","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}

We used a mixed-methods design that included two scenario-based experimental studies and a two-wave survey study to evaluate the proposed theoretical model. Results indicated that supervisory mentoring and peer coaching positively affected hotel newcomers' job crafting. Furthermore, hotel newcomers’ perceived insider status and elevation mediated the effects of supervisory mentoring and peer coaching on their job crafting. Additionally, the promotion focus of the hotel newcomers amplified the positive effects of elevation and PIS on job crafting, whereas the prevention focus mitigated these positive effects. We discussed the implications of hotels tailoring differentiated onboarding programs to facilitate newcomers in proactively crafting their jobs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48469,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Management","volume":"108 ","pages":"Article 105130"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142967745","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}

We conceptualize restaurant coolness and identify its constituent features empirically. We find that cool restaurants are original, authentic, welcoming, purposeful, and communal. We develop a parsimonious and reliable measure of restaurant coolness and show that restaurant coolness significantly influences relevant downstream variables related to consumers' attitudes and intentions (i.e., self-restaurant connection, trust, and emotional attachment). Furthermore, we experimentally demonstrate that restaurant coolness can enhance restaurants’ service failure recovery, including attribution, failure management perception, recovery satisfaction, and forgiveness.
