Four scenario-based experiments were conducted online, using various experimental stimuli. This study verified the matching effect between destination story type (factual vs. fictional), destination gender (feminine vs. masculine), and destination type (hedonic vs. utilitarian). Specifically, factual stories are more effective for masculine destinations, while fictional stories better suit feminine destinations. The results also indicate that fictional stories are more suitable for hedonic destinations, whereas factual stories are preferable for utilitarian ones. Additionally, the mediating effects of imagination proclivity and emotional arousal were examined. Overall, this study provides valuable practical insights into the design and promotion of tourist destinations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management","volume":"60 ","pages":"Pages 393-404"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142148980","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}

Previous studies on family travel with aging parents focused on adult children's perceptions of conflicts during travel, neglecting the influences of daily intergenerational relationships on pre-travel and post-travel behaviors. This study builds upon the solidarity-conflict model to investigate the effects of daily intergenerational relationships on pre-travel (e.g., travel motivation) and post-travel behaviors (e.g., satisfaction and well-being) of family tourists who have engaged in adult child-parent travel. Empirical findings reveal that solidarity is crucial in determining travel motivation, satisfaction, and subjective well-being, while conflict only significantly influences travel motivation. Further comparisons between the views of adult children and parents disclose differing effects of conflict on travel motivation and satisfaction, as well as how the influence of solidarity on satisfaction varies by generation. This study enhances our understanding of the spillover effect of daily intergenerational solidarity and conflict on family travel behavior and offers practical insights.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management","volume":"60 ","pages":"Pages 405-415"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142161598","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}

By integrating the power perspective with the theory of interactive ritual chains, this study applies the experiential focus group observation method to track the decision-making process. The analysis produces six models of that process, which show how different power structures and leadership influence the joint focus of attention, shared mood and behavioral co-presence in reaching a decision. In summary, leader democracy and effective equality can create a rewarding situation, influencer dominance creates a paradoxical situation, while, multiple leadership, ineffective equality and leader dominance lead to a ritualistic punishment situation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management","volume":"60 ","pages":"Pages 373-383"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142087984","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}

The framework is validated using data from 14 U.S. cities of varying sizes, encompassing 122,005 Airbnb listings and 113,169 POIs. Although the results reveal a notable proximity of Airbnb listings to POIs, the degree of spatial dependency varies across cities and property types. Notably, several frequently overlooked POIs, such as schools, post boxes, bakeries, and bicycle rental stations, demonstrate significant relationships with Airbnb listings. This research advances the literature on shared accommodations by elucidating the spatial relationship between Airbnb and POIs, introducing new location factors, and providing a robust analytical framework.
