Travel philanthropy: A multifaceted ‘exchange economy’ Annals of Tourism Research (IF 13.2) Pub Date : 2024-03-12 Amy Scarth, Marina Novelli
Travelling with a purpose and ‘helping’ the ‘suffering’ is a growing practice within the important, but under-researched travel philanthropy phenomenon. Systems theory and critical realism informed this qualitative study exploring multiple travel philanthropy contexts in rural tourism destinations in three Sub-Saharan African destinations (Uganda, Zimbabwe and Ethiopia). This paper contributes new

“If you like your history horrible”: The obscene supplementarity of thanatourism Annals of Tourism Research (IF 13.2) Pub Date : 2024-03-02 Sophie James, James Cronin, Anthony Patterson
By examining witch tourism in Lancashire, England, this paper reveals the ideological role that dark histories fulfil for consumer culture. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, we explore thanatourism as a means for ‘post-historical’ subjects to conceive of wilder, pre-liberal worlds before capitalist realism extinguished all alternatives. Nevertheless, because of how history remains subsumed and consumed

Role reversal in adult child-aging parent family travel Annals of Tourism Research (IF 13.2) Pub Date : 2024-02-27 Guangmei Jia, Ji Wen, Daisy X.F. Fan, Xin Liu
While family tourism has gained increasing attention from researchers, the relationship between adult children and their parents in family vacations remains an under-researched area. Drawing on role reversal theory and social exchange theory, this research examines the effects of role reversal on the well-being of adult children in family travels and with respect to “individual” and “relation” perspectives

Cross-border tourism and innovation system failures Annals of Tourism Research (IF 13.2) Pub Date : 2024-02-08 Teemu Makkonen, Allan M. Williams
The literature on cross-border regional innovation systems suggests that facilitating cross-border interaction and knowledge flows promotes the innovativeness of border regions. Tourism can heighten the interaction and knowledge flows between populations, businesses, and other organisations on opposing sides of the border. However, by reviewing empirical studies on the topic, the paper contends that

Subdivisions and causes of alienated travel experience Annals of Tourism Research (IF 13.2) Pub Date : 2024-02-08 Ziye Shang, Yu Pan
Although tourism is one of the most popular leisure activities in contemporary times, it is also regarded as one of the most typical alienated activities. However, few studies have extensively examined tourists' experiences of alienation. Informed by the General System Theory-based alienation model, this study endeavors to explore the subtypes and causes of alienated tourism experiences. Using critical

Security, economy, and the touristification of borders Annals of Tourism Research (IF 13.2) Pub Date : 2024-02-05 Xiaobo Su
Due to large flows of cross-border tourists and their increasing geopolitical and geoeconomic influence, borders have become increasingly touristified. Entailing at least three impulses—commodification, desecuritization, and differentiation, the touristification of borders develops a nuanced understanding of borderscapes and bordering practices. Borders obtain new meanings and functions from a touristic

Trust transfer effect: The impact of effective market order on tourists' purchase behavior Annals of Tourism Research (IF 13.2) Pub Date : 2024-01-25 Yuting Wang, Hui Li
By its nature, the tourism market is characterized by uncertainty and unfamiliarity, and so the success of market transactions depends on an effective market order. However, it is unclear how the latter affects tourists' purchase behavior, and whether tourists with different degrees of travel experience behave heterogeneously in this regard. This study innovatively employs quantitative methods to analyze

Polycrisis and the metamorphosis of tourism capitalism Annals of Tourism Research (IF 13.2) Pub Date : 2024-01-19 Raoul V. Bianchi, Claudio Milano
While the disruption caused by the COVID19 pandemic has receded, tourism capitalism continues to be imbricated in multiple and intersecting crises. This paper argues that the roots of such crises and the manner of their unfolding do not merely ‘impact’ tourism but have been incubated within and shaped by the structural dynamics of tourism capital accumulation itself. This paper draws on a historical

Stability of risk and uncertainty preferences in tourism Annals of Tourism Research (IF 13.2) Pub Date : 2024-01-20 Vladimír Baláž, Jason Li Chen, Allan M. Williams, Gang Li
This paper provides a novel longitudinal analysis of the stability of risk preferences in the travel domain, and how these are impacted by major life events during a crisis. Analysis of a four-wave survey during COVID-19 demonstrates strong inter-temporal stability of most risk preferences. It also reveals greater stability of generic risk traits and risk and uncertainty tolerance in travel compared

Theory in tourism Annals of Tourism Research (IF 13.2) Pub Date : 2024-01-16 Scott McCabe
Tourism's relationship with theory is a vexed and complex issue. Previous research has examined the status of the academic study of tourism in disciplinary terms and the epistemological basis of knowledge production, yet very little examination of the conceptual structure of tourism has been undertaken. This conceptual article examines the presence of theory of tourism. It presents evidence, via the

Post-holiday memory work: Everyday encounters with fridge magnets Annals of Tourism Research (IF 13.2) Pub Date : 2024-01-18 John Byrom, Duncan Light, Dominic Medway, Cathy Parker, Sebastian Zenker
While souvenirs have generated considerable interest within tourism research, less attention has been paid to their post-holiday ‘afterlife’. Utilising perspectives from memory research and more-than-representational theory, this paper focuses on interactions with a ubiquitous souvenir: the fridge magnet. Drawing on semi-structured interviews we illustrate how, because of their embeddedness within

Consumer hypocrisy and researcher myopia: A scrutiny of the intention-behaviour gap in sustainable tourism Annals of Tourism Research (IF 13.2) Pub Date : 2024-01-12 Marta Nieto-García, Diletta Acuti, Giampaolo Viglia
A discrepancy between tourists' intentions and behaviour threatens the effectiveness of interventions to favour sustainable choices. To reduce the gap between intentions and behaviour, one should consider both the consumer's and the researcher's shortcomings. On the one hand, consumers amplify the discrepancy between their sayings and doings through their hypocritical behaviour. On the other hand,

This edited email dialogue between a senior American social scientist, Dean MacCannell, and an early career French anthropologist, Thomas Apchain, began soon after they observed that two of the earliest contributions to tourism studies, MacCannell's and Nelson Graburn's, both claimed tourist phenomena to be underpinned by classical theories of religion. The lack of follow-up on either MacCannell's

Never look back? Revisiting the past Annals of Tourism Research (IF 13.2) Pub Date : 2024-01-12 Richard Butler
This paper reviews the arguments made in an early article in Annals of Tourism Research (Butler, 1974) and its potential implications for tourism research today. Two conclusions are drawn, one is that ignoring such early articles can lead to misinterpretations on the origin, timing, and nature of the first critical reviews of tourism, and second, that early discussions of the problems of tourism also

Self-defence against carbon footprint evidence: How employees of destination management and marketing organisations cope with conflicting environmental and economic data Annals of Tourism Research (IF 13.2) Pub Date : 2024-01-11 Anna Torres-Delgado, Xavier Font, Jordi Oliver-Solà
We use motivational theories of self-defence to explain how employees of destination management and marketing organisations experience carbon footprint data as a threat. A three-stage study, with a total of 186 employees of destination management and marketing organisations, shows few instances of consonant evaluation of sustainability data that lead to conceptual or instrumental use of indicators
