Abstract: This study and its conceptual framework are motivated by the awareness of the positive impacts of social tourism on social inclusion. The aim of the research is to explore the potential of social tourism for creating an inclusive tourism form through investigating alternative camp in Turkey. The camp was examined as an ethnographic case study with qualitative research methods. Data were gathered by conducting semi-structured interviews and participant observations lasting over a year. In addition, the secondary data were collected in the form of organizational and other types of documents. As a result, the study develops an inclusive social tourism management model that proposes three components: (1) sustainable financial support, (2) a strong volunteer structure, (3) an aspirational goal.

Mesana and Allan B. de Guzman, p. 362- 374]
Abstract: Festivals have long been recognized by scholars for boosting the local economy through tourist visits. However, the shortage of theory-building studies in festival studies need to be addressed empirically. This study aims to conceptualize a model that describes how visitors have become loyal to grand festivals in the Philippines. Following the Glaserian grounded theory, 24 repeat Filipino festival-goers were invited for a semi-structured interview. Field texts were analysed via open, selective, and theoretical coding procedures to emerge a theoretical model. Interestingly, this study afforded the development of Repeat Visitors’ Festival Loyalty Theory. The emerged theory consists of four unique but interlocking phases of victimization, vitalization, valuation, and volition. Implications of the study’s findings and recommendations were also discussed.

Abstract: The main purpose of this study is to estimate the preservation value of the Confucianism symbol tree at Jeonju Hyanggyo, a traditional Confucian school in Korea during the Joseon Dynasty (1392–1910), using the contingent valuation method (CVM). CVM is widely used to estimate the economic value of non-market goods in the form of willingness-to-pay (WTP). The secondary purpose is to investigate whether perceived value is statistically related to WTP. A two-step approach is applied to reduce hypothetical bias. The results show that respondents are willing to pay 5,163 KRW (=4.57 USD) to preserve the Jeonju Hyanggyo tree. Further, respondents who perceive higher functional value are more likely to pay more.

Abstract: The horizon of heritage tourism research has been expanding in tandem with the rapidly growing heritage tourism industry. The paper aims to accentuate the innovative concepts, patterns of scientific contribution, and emerging research arena using knowledge domain visualization software—CiteSpace. Analysis of the data set revealed seven active clusters. The sub-areas lately in focus are sustainable tourism activities, integration of heritage in urban planning, and local communities’ perspectives. Future research may be conducted in evolving areas like heritage tourism around volcanic regions, analyzing indigenous people’s psychological constructs towards involvement in heritage tourism, and promoting international festivals in heritage places.

Abstract: The objectives of the present study are: i) to identify the segments of tourism demand, based on gastronomic motivations in coastal destinations, and ii) to find the relationship between demand segments and satisfaction and service variables. The investigation was carried out in General Villamil Playas city, a renowned coastal destination in Ecuador. Factor analysis and the K-means clustering method were used to analyze the data. The findings show three segments: “Enjoyers,” highly motivated to eat typical seafood dishes on the beach. “Survivors,” with low motivations for all variables, and who consider local gastronomy only a means to satisfy a physiological need. The third “Experimenters,” have high motivations for all motivational variables and believe that gastronomy, in general, is very important.

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the economic consequences of political violence on hotels operating in Hawassa city and assess their response strategies to deal with the crisis. A qualitative approach involving semi-structured interviews with 13 hotel general managers in Hawassa city was employed, and data from interviews were analysed using thematic analysis. Study findings uncovered that political violence inflicted significant economic costs on hotels operating in the city. To deal with the effects of political violence, hotels put in place temporary but creatively crafted tools that resorted to cost reduction and marketing strategies. The study could help to better understand the vulnerability and resilience of tourism to political violence in the context of small-city hotels.

Abstract: Understanding perceptions of children has been attracted less attention. Issues related to data collection were noted as the main reason behind less giving voice to children in tourism studies. To fill this gap, the current study aimed to explore the tourism perceptions of children through an innovative method. A group of 30 children has been involved in the aim of this research in Şırnak, Turkey. Data were collected by drawing and open-ended questions. Results indicate that children’s perceptions of tourism are significantly positive. Findings also show that such perceptions are listed in three categories: namely, economic, socio-cultural, and environmental. The study discusses the findings through the antecedents of resident attitudes and also suggests directions for future research.

Abstract: Being highly sensitive to the climatic condition, nature-based destinations will be faced with many changes due to climate change. Given this, it is essential to assess the impacts of projected climate change on tourism development in coastal destinations. Based on the application of the Physiologically Equivalent Temperature, this study investigates climatic information for the present and predicted conditions in the future to discuss the climate change impacts on tourism development. The results show this Iranian leading destination will become too hot in summer and a more pleasant destination in autumn and winter. Increasing investment in indoor facilities may become increasingly necessary for summer, and part of the demand should be moved from summer to the rest of the year.

Abstract: The study assesses the impacts of the Tagang programme – a practice of preserving riverine fish species in the restricted area, for nature conservation and ecotourism development – on an indigenous community in Malaysia, using the empowerment framework. The data are collected from in-depth interviews with 27 key informants. Using thematic analysis, this study reveals three main themes – nature conservation, ecotourism development, and participation of local community. Through the Tagang programme, the river ecological system has improved. The village has enhanced community cohesion and collaboration, and developed new ecotourism activities for income generation. The indigenous Dayak community is empowered to lead and operate in the Tagang programme in their village which has resulted in positive economic, social, and environmental benefits.

Evidence from Europe’s top 10 Airbnb destinations / Ersin Demir and Gözde Emekli p. 470-488]
Abstract: This article contributes to the ongoing debate on the increasing professionalization and commercialization of Airbnb through multi-unit hosts who offer more than one listing. The process of professionalization brings the question of whether Airbnb is still considered as a sharing economy platform or it has already lost sharing economy ethos. To answer this question, this study focuses on Europe’s top 10 Airbnb destinations (respectively London, Paris, Rome, Copenhagen, Berlin, Lisbon, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Milan and Madrid). The descriptive analysis reveals that although Airbnb positions itself under the positive value of sharing economy, there are indications that it has become increasingly professional through commercial listings. In contrast to the original concept of sharing, the visibilities of multi-unit hosts, specialized in short-term rental business, have increased on the platform, and this situation indicates the tendency of Airbnb’s operating model from consumer-to-consumer to business-to-consumer. This change from peer producer to professional suppliers may open the door of the platform to be defined as a lodging corporation rather than a sharing economy company. This comparative study also shows that the commercialization level of Airbnb in the cities is quite different. This may be due to different regulations for the short-term rentals.

Abstract: In recent years, tourism literature has been incorporating tourist satisfaction as a determinant of competitiveness and expenditure in destinations. It was expected a direct relationship between the variables: the better the experience, the greater the expenditure. However, previous literature has not found a strong relationship between them. This study attempts to address this gap by analysing a data survey from Calp, a consolidated destination on the Spanish Mediterranean coastline, using a static comparative exercise between different tourism seasons. As a novel theoretical contribution, seasonality and the different items of expenditure are included in the analysis. In accordance with the previous literature, the result obtained does not confirm a close relationship between satisfaction and expenditure. Some managerial implications are also suggested.

Abstract: This study examines the effects of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) and tourism in Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC). It used a three-dimensional wavelet technique based on Granger causality analysis to investigate the relationship between EPU and tourism activities using the annual data between 1995 and 2018. The results show that the uncertainty about its economic policies will not only affect macroeconomic variables but also tourism. The EPU has short-run implications, as well as short-run, mid-run and long-run effects on international tourist arrivals. It can be recommended that the national security of the government and peace protocols be maintained by the government. Otherwise, the fall in tourism demand could impede the economic growth in the BRIC countries in the long-run. Link: https://doi.org/10.1080/13032917.2021.1916550
