Its potential impacts have increasingly attracted attention, thereby relating to the development quality of the sizable senior tourist market. This study first employed grounded theory to construct a framework of senior tourists' perceived equity in smart technology use, which comprises subjective self (I)-perceived equity (including perceived equity of the technological environment and the technological interaction) and objective self (ME)-perceived equity (including perceived equity of the technological functions and the technological security), it represents two distinct self-cognitive and evaluative perspectives formed by individuals based on internal subjective experiences, external role requirements and norms. Furthermore, quantitative analysis was conducted to examine their effects on memorable tourism experiences. The results indicate that all four dimensions of perceived equity significantly enhance seniors’ memorable tourism experiences, with perceived equity of the technological environment exerting the most pronounced influence. This study extends the application of perceived equity theory to the domain of smart tourism, offering a theoretical foundation and practical guidance for tourism service providers in designing age-friendly smart tourism products and capturing the senior tourist market.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article 101415"},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147351225","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}

Based upon qualitative inquiries into the subjective experiences of Chinese adult children, this study finds that the frequency, intensity, and valence of intergenerational interactions increase during travel; moreover, intergenerational conflicts may arise in some families due to limited empathy and communication skills. Based on family systems theory, four interrelated factors leading to these changes are also discussed. External stimuli and co-presence interaction pattern work as external and internal triggers, respectively, which together amplify intergenerational differences in conceptions and adaptability. These differences influence family role identification and foster changes in interaction behaviors across generations. The study expands theory on family tourism by exploring the dynamic characteristics of interactions between Chinese adult children and their parents. It also provides valuable practical implications for tourism product development and marketing management fostering positive intergenerational interactions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article 101385"},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145884718","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}

Nevertheless, single-use container waste remains a persistent challenge, even as the potential to reshape sustainable consumption behaviors continues to grow. Guided by the diffusion of innovation theory, we conducted focus group interviews with participants who used reusable containers and in-depth interviews with those who never used them. We methodologically combined traditional qualitative analysis with ChatGPT verification. Human-coded analysis was primarily employed, while AI-coded analysis served as an additional analytic resource, supporting triangulation rather than substituting human interpretation. Qualitative analysis using NVivo identified factors influencing the adoption of reusable containers, including innovation attributes, the social system, the efforts of agents, and consumers’ decision-making processes. This study contributes to the hospitality literature on sustainable consumption and green innovation by examining the behavioral, psychological, and infrastructural factors that shape pro-environmental practices. The findings offer practical insights for hospitality managers seeking to reduce plastic waste, enhance customer engagement with sustainability practices, and strengthen their organizational commitment to environmentally responsible service delivery.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article 101413"},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146209262","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}

Drawing on the stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) model, this study conceptualizes food quality, food preparation and presentation, and food authenticity as key stimuli that influence emotional responses (gastro-nostalgia) and subsequent tourist behaviors (revisit and recommendation intentions). A three-wave, time-lagged survey design was employed to mitigate common method bias (CMB), capturing data from 556 tourists across three sequential stages. Covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) was used to assess main (direct), mediating (indirect), and moderating (conditional) effects while artificial neural network (ANN) analysis complemented by identifying the most influential food attributes across predictive models. CB-SEM results revealed that all three food attributes positively influence revisit and recommendation intentions, with gastro-nostalgia operating as a (partial) mediator, while cultural familiarity serves as a moderator by amplifying the effects of food attributes on gastro-nostalgia and behavioral intentions among culturally familiar tourists. ANN results validated the importance of food preparation and presentation as well as food authenticity as key predictors across all outcome variables. When taken collectively, these insights provide a comprehensive understanding of how sensory and emotional experiences in gastronomy can be leveraged to improve tourism strategies and foster tourist loyalty.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article 101412"},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146160344","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}

This study redefines local destinations as micro-scale, place-based units integrating locality, placeness, and community-based tourism. It examines their role in sustainable local revitalization amid population decline and metropolitan concentration. Using a Delphi–AHP approach with tourism experts, it identifies and prioritizes key determinants of local destination competitiveness. The framework conceptualizes local destinations as lived spaces where cultural authenticity arises through residents' and stakeholders’ everyday participation rather than staged performances. The results indicate that resource utilization and infrastructure development are the most critical factors. At the same time, stakeholder groups show divergent priorities, underscoring the need for coordinated governance to address potential misalignment risks. Theoretically, this research advances destination competitiveness studies by shifting the analytical focus to the micro-scale and demonstrating that competitiveness depends on the hierarchical structuring and sequencing of factors rather than on their relative importance. By emphasizing dependency-aware implementation that secures community foundations before advancing market-facing strategies, the study provides practical guidance for communities seeking to design tourism strategies that revitalize rather than displace local life.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article 101403"},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146014266","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}
