Since the early 1900s, Mexico’s northern border towns became important tourism destinations, receiving more foreign tourists than any other areas of Mexico. Historically, postcards followed the development of tourism in the borderlands, depicting unique border-oriented tourismscapes and life in general, and establishing an iconic image of the border as a rowdy, promiscuous and decadent location where Americans could spend their holidays abroad and participate in tourisms of vice. Until the 2000s, tourism in the US-Mexico border zone was overwhelmingly leisure oriented, and the proliferation of postcards illustrated that fact. Today, there are few postcards left and the ones that do remain are less focused on the border itself, as they once were; instead, they focus on the broader community with less emphasis on the borderline. Changes in border tourism from leisure pursuits to medical tourism and alcohol consumption, growing security concerns, and the proliferation of mobile phones and social media have almost entirely eliminated postcard use as a souvenir and marker of regional tourism identity in the US-Mexico borderlands.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, tourism had permeated all spaces of experience, reaching nearly every country, region, community, and corner of the globe. In recent decades, the meanings, implications, and roles of tourism have also expanded significantly. This article focuses on unconventional tourism mobilities, including same-day visits, which are an important but often neglected part of the tourism system, constantly challenging both scholars and tourism industry stakeholders. Unconventional tourism is an umbrella term that covers most kinds of unregistered or unaccounted tourist mobilities, some of which might not appear to be ‘tourism’ but should be in certain localities and under certain conditions. Given the growth of unregistered tourist flows and unaccounted leisure (or utilitarian) mobilities, there is a need in tourism studies to apply innovative research methods and to reconceptualize the meanings of tourism in different geographical and social contexts. It is expected that people’s desire to travel in the post-pandemic era will educe new spatial and temporal travel experiences and behaviours in which unconventional tourisms will play an important role. To better understand this phenomenon and to evaluate the development of new approaches to travel and behavioural spatialities, new ways of thinking, new theoretical constructs, and new methodologies are needed. This article seeks to explore certain hidden or invisible tourism mobilities, focusing on the geographical patterns, processes, and hidden aspects of unconventional tourism.

Purpose Cheeses convey the identity of a region. The origin of milk, the pastures, the land, the cheesemakers and the traditional recipes transmit the ways a cheese is produced and consumed. This background links to food tourism practices, particularly to cheese-oriented tourism. In this sense, people can buy cheese at a range of selling points, and markets are being one of the most appreciated social, leisure and experience spaces. From a tourist and marketing perspective, the purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between cheese consumption and place identity, drawing from a study into the cheeses sold in a medium-sized European city. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on 17 semi-structured interviews with cheese vendors in markets and specialist food shops, the provenances of cheeses sold in the city of Reus – south-eastern Catalonia, northeastern Spain – were studied. Findings Local, national and international cheeses were analysed. Results show the type of identity that derives from cheese offer and its opportunities for food tourism planning and development. Practical implications Outcomes of this paper may lead cheese producers to explore new arenas of cheesemaking and cheese distribution. Also, the results inform food tourism stakeholders of what consumers – both locals and tourists – gather when they buy cheese in a medium-sized European city. Originality/value This research offers an innovative approach to the study of the links between food and place. Based on the understanding of the origin of products, this paper leads to further comprehension of specialist food tourisms from the offer perspective, which may also drive to the development of a more robust destination gastronomic identity – in this case, through the particular provision of cheeses.

The tourism market in Ukraine is facing a significant imbalance in the distribution of tourist flows in different regions, due to different climatic conditions, traditions and customs, the presence of historical, cultural and architectural monuments, different priorities in the regional strategic economic development. All this determines the differentiation of the developing tourist activities by the reason and purpose of a tourist’s journey. The topic being high on the agenda, the article examines the current state and trends in the development of tourism types in Ukraine by the purpose of a tourist’s journey. In particular, grounding on the statistics of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the author has assessed the dynamics of distributing tourists served by tour operators, travel agents who are legal entities, and travel agents who are individual entrepreneurs, by purpose of a tourist’s journey and by tourism types for the period 2011-2020. Taking research by domestic and foreign scientists on the tourism issue, the theoretical approaches are highlighted to classifying types of tourism and interpreting such types as business, educational, health, and sports tourism. Having analyzed the peculiarities of the tourism sector development in Ukraine in 2011–2020 as for the tourism types identified by the purpose of a tourist’s journey, the author has come to conclusion that most tourists prefer journeys organized for leisure and recreation. Regional distribution of tourists served by tour operators and travel agents who traveled for leisure and recreation during 2019-2020 is analyzed, and the regions of Ukraine that are characterized by the highest percentage of tourists traveling for leisure and recreation are identified. A study of the tourism development trends in view of tourism types by the purpose of a tourist’s journey will help to identify priority areas, strengths and weaknesses of the tourism market, problems, threats, and barriers to tourism development, as well as potential opportunities that will effectively position Ukraine in the tourism market.

ABSTRACT Objective: To explore the influence of leisure sports tourism activities on the health of elderly tourists. Methods: Through investigating the leisure sports tourism activities of some elderly tourists who participated in travel agencies, the health status and quality of life of elderly tourists who participated in leisure sports tourism activities for a long time (exercising group) were compared with those who did not or occasionally participated in physical exercise (non-exercising group), to understand the influence of leisure sports tourism activities on the health of elderly tourists. Results: Regarding the attitude of participating in sports leisure tourism activities, the survey results show that the elderly tourists reached a basic consensus about participating in sports leisure tourism activities. Different types of landscapes have significant differences in improving tourists’ anxiety. The proportion of “very satisfied” in the exercise group was significantly higher than that in the non-exercise group. The duration of the trip has a significant impact on improving tourists’ anxiety. Conclusion: We should strengthen the advertising of leisure sport tourism activities, let more elderly tourists participate in leisure sport tourism activities, strengthen the behavioral guidance of elderly tourists in leisure sport tourism activities, and help them improve their health. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.

This paper analyzes leisure tourism in Bhedetar, eastern Nepal. Leisure tourists usually enjoy beauty, nice hotels and resorts, and the atmosphere of natural and cultural heritage. The most popular activities of leisure tourism include social tours, cultural tours, religious tours, family tours, recreational tours, sports tours, and medical tours. Bhedetar lies at the confluence of two different geographical environments: the hills and Tarai. The geographical situation of Bhedetar plays an important role in the development of tourist destinations. Its exquisite scenic beauty, natural environment, and cultural heritage provide a reliable source of pleasure and refreshment for leisure tourists. This paper is based on both primary and secondary data sources. Primary data were collected from field observation, interaction with local people, hotel service providers, and tourists using checklists, questionnaires, and personal interviews. Secondary data were collected from books, journals, and e-resources. Tables, charts, and diagrams are used for data analysis. The findings revealed that the increasing number of hotels and lodges at Bhedetar indicated an internal market for leisure tourism. However, there are a lot of hurdles and barriers hindering the promotion of leisure tourism in this area. This paper suggests that the tourism promotion authorities should initiate action to address these barriers for the development of Bhedetar as a chosen leisure tourist destination.

As a promising IoT application, the rural leisure tourism industry can promote the reconstruction of industrial structure in rural areas and realize a sustainable, rapid, and healthy development of rural economy. This paper takes the rural leisure tourism industry in China as an example and aims at building an intelligent and integrated modern IoT use case. Based on the traditional rural leisure tourism, we improve the system by adding the data analysis over a mobile cloud IoT computing platform. In particular, this work investigates the characteristics of the national tourism market under the security requirements from governmental cloud data management policy. Our study shows that the geographical concentration index G of tourists in the Chinese market continues to increase. With the booming of IoT applications in rural leisure tourism, intelligent and integrated tourism guidance and optimized decision-making will provide tourists with better information and thus make rapid improvement of geographical concentration index.

Revisit intention is considered one of the key subjects in the current tourism industry. This paper examines the influence of the service quality of a leisure center on future intention to revisit Orlando city, as influenced by overall tourist satisfaction and destination image. Data was collected from 313 visitors of Orlando city, United States. The results indicated that leisure service quality positively affected the overall tourist satisfaction with the city and destination image. Additionally, tourist satisfaction and positive destination image positively impacted tourists’ intention to revisit the city. Moreover, tourist satisfaction and destination image fully mediated the linkage between service quality and tourist intention to revisit the destination in the model with two parallel mediators. Received results indicate that leisure service quality plays a vital role in tourist satisfaction. High quality service will positively affect the travel intentions of leisure center tourists, inclining them revisit the city. Thus, leisure centers and the leisure tourism industry should better understand the expectations and demands of tourists.

This article explores the demand side of beer tourism, in particular the characteristics of travelers motivated by beer experiences using a survey of American leisure travelers (N = 562). Travelers motivated by beer (called "beer tourists" or "beer travelers") can be considered a distinct market segment. They take part in both food tourism (e. g., taking a food or beverage tour) and many general tourism activities (e. g., attending major events, attending performing arts events) at a higher rate than other leisure travelers. This fits within cultural omnivore theory, and beer tourists can be considered "cultural omnivores" participating in activities not solely related with their primary travel motivation. While traveling, beer tourists also reported spending 42% more per day on food and beverage than other leisure travelers, indicating their value to destinations. Practical implications for destinations include cross-marketing and promotion, as beer-motivated tourists spend money across a wide variety of experiences. Theoretical implications are also discussed.

In 1990, the countries of the V4 were the dominant sending countries to Bulgaria, which is why Bulgarians thought of targeting the sending market from these countries, not only with the product of mass tourism, but with a unique, four-season offer. In 1990, Hungary was Bulgaria’s third largest sending market; therefore, leisure trend studies are important as they can help to satisfy the needs of Hungarian tourists and attract them to the destination and increase their visitor satisfaction. The aim of our study is to examine the leisure time patterns and leisure preference system of Hungarian tourists, which is evident during their travels. This study examines the willingness of Hungarian tourists to travel to Bulgaria. According to the results of the secondary and primary research, the vast majority of Hungarian tourists travel to Bulgaria mainly for beach holidays, but, in addition to mass tourism, the country’s culture, history, ecotourism, health tourism, wine and gastronomy may represent further travel potential for Hungarian tourists. Having examined the attitudes of Hungarian tourists (n = 952), the study offers useful recommendations for Bulgarian tourism organizations and Bulgarian and Hungarian tour operators, as factor analysis is used to create groups belonging to factors that can be included as key target groups in publications promoting Bulgaria. Another aim of our study is to add new content to the traditional Bulgarian–Hungarian tourism relations.

Post-disaster research relating to tourism tends to focus on broad economic measures that can miss local-scale actors and contemporaneous impressions by tourists and tourism-based business owners in places undergoing recovery from a disaster. Hurricane Harvey, a Category 4 storm, swept across coastal Texas in August 2017. Many of the communities affected by Harvey have economies largely based on family recreation. Interviews in Rockport–Fulton, Texas, with tourism-oriented business owners, staff, and tourists during the Independence holiday provide qualitatively robust accounts of the community’s first major summer event following Harvey and highlight the importance of social networks and place attachment to bringing tourists to the recovering area. Furthermore, we discuss the chain tourist’s role in the recovery of affected locations and consider strategies to draw on these social networks to increase the number of tourists visiting the recovering communities.

The aim of this study is to investigate the determinants of behavioral intention to visit a historical city in the context of cultural heritage tourism from a marketing experiential perspective. Specifically, the main objective is to investigate the relative influence of the three experiential constructs identified as service experience, novelty experience, and leisure experience towards the tourist’s intention to recommend and return to the historical city of Malacca. To the best knowledge of the researcher, this study is the first to incorporate all three variables together in a single research model. A total of 300 respondents consists of both local and foreign tourists were involved in this study. Data were collected around the historical city of Malacca, a popular UNESCO World Heritage Site in Malaysia. To qualify as the respondents of this study, the so-called cultural tourists must have been visiting the historical city for at least 2 days. Multiple Regression Analysis was employed to test all hypotheses developed in this study. The results showed that two of the independent variables namely leisure experience and service experience were found to have positive relationships with behavioral intention. Interestingly, this study found no evidence to support the relationship between novelty experience and behavioral intention in the context of cultural heritage tourism. Undeniably, the novelty of the cultural heritage tourism products is not the core determinant of tourist’s revisit intention as well as favourable word-of-mouth as these products are considered as distinctive in nature and standing on their own.

This study analyzes the economic impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on leisure tourism in Peru, in terms of tourist services such as means of transportation, accommodation, city tours and restaurants. The analysis is based on the application of a survey. The cross-sectional analytical study evaluated 2,443 potential tourists of legal age from the 25 regions of Peru who intended to engage in leisure tourism during the quarantine period. Likewise, potential tourists who intended to make a trip culminating the quarantine (in the remaining time of the year 2020) were evaluated. Based on the study of people who were going to carry out local leisure tourism until the end of 2020, the estimated losses in tourist services amounted to approximately $203 dollars millions (based on a budget less than or equal to $83.00, the amount that most respondents were willing to pay for tourist services). An increase in the demand for domestic leisure tourism is expected associated with the reduction in prices of each tourist service in order to reactivate this sector economically.

Leisure and tourism spaces are shared by both residents and tourists seeking a higher quality of life. Most of the literature focuses only on the study of a particular type of leisure or tourism space in cities and lacks an overall exploration of the distribution patterns of urban leisure and tourism formats. Based on the leisure and tourism point of interest (POI) data of 11 districts in Xi’an, this paper uses geospatial analysis to examine the spatial patterns of leisure and tourism facilities and their influencing factors in Xi’an. It is found in this study that the distributions overall and the various types of leisure and tourism spaces in Xi’an show the characteristics of central urban agglomeration and sparse dispersion in the surrounding urban areas. Different types of leisure and tourism patterns have obvious spatial scale dependence, but there are differences in the scope of spatial selection. In general, the core agglomeration area has limited radiation and driving effects on the peripheral areas, and there is a prominent phenomenon of imbalance in the distribution of leisure and tourism facilities following a single industrial structure. The formation of the spatial patterns of leisure and tourism is the result of a combination of dominant factors, driving factors, safeguarding factors, and other triggering factors. Urban leisure and tourism spaces are intertwined, and the spatial balance and industrial diversification of leisure and tourism can be promoted through scientific spatial planning. This study aims to provide services for urban land planning and policy-making by revealing the spatial distribution principles of leisure and tourism sites in tourist cities as represented by Xi’an.

It seems that people’s quality of life can be positively influenced through bicycle tourism. Bicycle tourism can be an effective measure to enhance serious leisure, tourism satisfaction, and quality of life. To verify this empirically, a survey was conducted of bicycle tourists who visited Qinghai Lake in China during an international road bike race. The purpose of the present research is to prove the association between latent variables related to bicycle tourism through statistical analysis. For this, hypothetical relationships based on tourism motivation, serious leisure, tourism satisfaction, and quality of life were presented as research models. As a result of empirical analysis, it was analyzed that friends and nature had an effect on serious leisure among the motivation of bicycle tourism. In addition, it was found that the level of serious leisure for bicycle tourism exerted a positive influence on the satisfaction and quality of life. This suggests that bicycle tourism can improve the quality of life during travel to Qinghai lake by bicycle and revealed the crucial role in relationships is serious leisure.

China’s leisure diving tourism has made gratifying achievements in the past years. It is necessary to evaluate the leisure diving tourism’s development level, and then the disadvantages of the leisure diving tourism can be found and the effective measures can be taken to develop the leisure diving tourism in China. A fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model based on the bat algorithm is proposed to solve the shortcomings of the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method, which lacks a theoretical basis and completely depends on experience. Firstly, the basic conception of leisure diving tourism is discussed. Also, the main affecting factors of leisure diving tourism are analyzed. The evaluation model of leisure diving tourism developing level is constructed based on the fuzzy comprehensive method. The weight of the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is optimized by the bat algorithm to realize the optimal selection of weight. The fuzzy evaluation matrix is used to construct the judgment matrix to determine the weight of each evaluation index, and the bat algorithm is used to adaptively select the weight of the judgment matrix. Finally, three diving clubs are used as research objects to carry out evaluation analysis The results show that the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method can effectively obtain the developing level of leisure diving tourism.

Purpose By adopting retrospective evaluation theories, this study aims to explain how innovations provided by separate suppliers in the tourism value chain influence tourist’s perceived value of the overall experience and further uncover which innovative product attributes are more effective in improving tourist perceptions of the overall value. Design/methodology/approach A survey yielded 584 valid responses from tourists who had experienced specific tourist product innovations during their travels. Structural equation modelling was used to test the proposed theoretical model. Findings The results reveal that tourists evaluate overall travelling experience value either by recalling an intense, impressive moment (i.e. a heuristic approach) or through an evaluation of the overall utility gained from the whole trip (i.e. a normative approach). Furthermore, innovations that are perceived as increasing convenience and enabling learning contribute to tourists’ overall value perception through both normative and heuristic approaches, while immersion resulting from innovation only contributes to overall perceived value through the heuristic approach. Practical implications Given the complex service ecosystem of tourism destinations, each tourism service provider should consider how innovations contribute to the experience of the whole trip and which attributes of innovations increase tourists’ overall perceived experience value. Originality/value This study complements existing knowledge by revealing the relationship between product innovation in tourism sectors and tourists’ perceived value of the whole trip. Moreover, it offers a theoretical framework for further investigation into service product innovation in hospitality and tourism industry.

Purpose Fishing village tourism is a form of tourism that has been newly started according to the economic revitalization of underdeveloped fishing villages, the increase in leisure time and income of tourists, and the diversification of tourism needs. In order to maintain sustainable fishing village tourism, it is necessary to identify what motives tourists participate in fishing village tourism and to empirically study the effects of these motivation factors on destination image and tourist satisfaction and loyalty.
Methods A survey was conducted on tourists who visited Daeyado, Yongshin, and Gagyeongju fishing villages located in Taean, which are representative tourist destinations in the west coast, and 176 questionnaires were used for empirical analysis.
Results As a result of factor analysis, motivation for fishing village tourism was classified into five factors: nature appreciation, eating and purchasing marine products, family relations and rest, fishing village experience, and marine leisure sports experience, and destination image and traveler satisfaction and loyalty were each classified as a single dimension. As a result of the hypothesis verification, among the motives for fishing village tourism, factors such as family relations and rest, eating and purchasing marine products, nature appreciation, and marine leisure sports experience had a significant effect on the destination image, and fishing village experience, nature appreciation, and marine leisure sports experience factors had a significant effect on traveler satisfaction. It was verified that the destination image had a significant effect on traveler satisfaction and loyalty, and traveler satisfaction had a significant effect on loyalty.
Conclusion In the end, it was studied that a good destination image can be planted according to the motive of fishing village tourism, and the loyalty of revisit, word of mouth, and recommendation can be increased by increasing the satisfaction of travelers.

Spice Tourism is an emerging sector in tourism majorly focusing on the impact of spices on tourism choices, growth, and distinctiveness. Because of the fascinating role of spices in tourism growth and diversification in new emerging economies, there is an increased demand for the promotion and growth of spice tourism in many developing economies like India and Sri Lanka. However, a comprehensive investigation is lacking pertaining to spice tourism. In this situation, the present research attempts to bring together and discuss the role of spices as an instrument to entice foreign tourists visiting India. A structured survey instrument in the form of a questionnaire was used for data collection from 400 inbound foreign tourists at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, New Delhi. This study has provided directions to the practitioners and academicians in uncovering a diversity of perspectives on the emerging spice tourism market. It also suggests the role of spices as a tactical tool to recreate the destination image of India as a spice tourism destination. The research can also be utilized to examine the foreign tourist’s spice preferences in India, which can be used by stakeholders and practitioners to entice and enhance their revisit to India.

Purpose This paper aims to examine the impact of other group members on the travel experiences of Chinese tourists participating in domestic package tours. Design/methodology/approach Based on the critical incident technique, usable responses were obtained from 253 tourists regarding the influence of other group members on their travel experiences in the same group package tour (GPT). Findings The results show that the travel experiences of Chinese tourists on a domestic package tour are affected by three general factors, namely, appearance, behaviors, and language of other group members. Research limitations/implications This research mainly involves samples of young tourists. The findings may not be able to generalize to elderly tourists. Future studies may involve samples from various age cohorts. Practical implications The findings offer new insights and directions for GPT operators and tour guides to improve tourism management and tourist experiences. Social implications This study contributes to tourism literature about customer-to-customer interaction by identifying the major categories of other customers’ characteristics or behaviors that may positively or negatively influence a GPT tourist’s travel experience. Originality/value This study enriches the existing literature by investigating the attributes of other group members that may affect the travel experiences of a domestic GPT participant. Tourism firms can formulate better strategies and staff training to enhance tourists’ travel experiences.

Work, leisure and sleep are the three core cyclical activities in our society. In the past work was distinct from non-work time, in fact ‘the 8-hour work, 8-hour leisure, 8-hour sleep day’ was at the very heart of past worker movements. So, the blur between work and leisure is a postmodern trend which has impacted the way we travel. This change is mainly due to the advances of technology, which have made work outside the workplace a reality even during holiday. Consequently, a hybrid tourism product called workcation has emerged and challenges the traditional concept of tourism. Both the theory and the practice of this phenomenon are in the focus of this research. Due to the lack of the tourism-focused theorization, the related literature is multidisciplinary and eclectic; therefore, this study takes a similar approach while embedding the topic into the tourism theory. The starting point is the change in work and leisure relationship, followed by the impact of technological advances on the work. Then I also formulate a tourism-focused workcation concept. For the empirical research an online survey was conducted with 340 participants. Based on the multidisciplinary literature and the result of my empirical research six types of workcation tourists were identified and described. Finally, a specific segment of workcation tourists is singled out as an attractive market for strategists and marketers planning sustainable tourism.

In recent years the Stołowe Mountains National Park has become an increasingly popular destination for the purposes of mountain tourism. Such tourism takes different forms throughout the year, but the most common is hiking. Its continuing popularity results from the close contact with nature it provides, along with the possibility of active leisure pursuits and exploration. The aim of the study is to describe the motivations, preferences and leisure behaviours of hiking tourists who visit the Stołowe Mountains National Park, through survey-based research in 2015 and 2016. The study will highlight the relationship between the respondents’ characteristics and their motivations, preferences and behaviour, to identify the main kinds of tourists.

In recent years, the development of rural tourism in my country has been greatly improved. This is because in the context of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, science and technology have promoted the development of productive forces. People's leisure time is constantly increasing. At present, China's working class enjoys 114 days of holidays throughout the year, which means that Chinese citizens have more opportunities to travel. At the same time, some domestic scholars have proposed that China has entered the era of dual-health tourism, that is, well-off and healthy. In the well-off era, people pay more attention to the issue of healthy tourism, and health has become one of the main motivations for modern people's tourism activities.Leisure and health are closely related. Modern people's understanding of health is no longer limited to physical skills and health. Physical fitness, energy level, but also emotional health. Mental, health, mental health and social health and other health indicators, people can achieve the purpose of resting their minds and bodies in the process of leisure, relaxing their minds and keeping their bodies healthy. This improvement of health awareness is embodied in the fact that tourists expect to get physical and mental pleasure through participating in tourism activities, and they also put forward higher-level requirements for tourism environment, tourism activities, and tourism services, and rural tourism, as a kind of modern leisure tourism It is an important form that can meet tourists' needs for various functions such as pleasure, recreation, and fitness by taking short-term holidays. It is also the needs of the majority of tourists that stimulates the rapid development of China's rural tourism economy.

Abstract The purpose of the present paper is to attempt to identify relations between the changing perception of leisure and the creation of tourism and recreational spaces in urban areas. The authors focus in particular on changes associated with the so-called ‘third wave’ (Toffler 2001), time compression (Niezgoda 2017), and departure from synchronization. These considerations are illustrated by an analysis of the recreational activity of Szczecin residents and of tourists, and attempt identifying the relations between recreational space and tourism space. With the constant compression of leisure time, tourism activities become more similar to the leisure activities of residents, which means both types occur in the same environment. Urban recreational and tourism spaces overlap in a way that makes it impossible to separate them, but still allows the distinction of certain sub-spaces where either tourism or recreational behavior prevails.

This explanatory sequential mixed-methods study determined the residents' perceived tourism impacts and provided an in-depth explanation of these tourism impacts to the community. The positive tourism impacts help enhances residents' living. Conversely, the negative tourism impacts are the challenges in the destination. Residents positively perceived the environmental tourism impacts while negatively perceived the economic impacts. Generally, positive tourism impacts outweigh the negatives. From the thematic analysis, three themes emerged, namely economic tourism impact, environmental tourism impact, and sociocultural tourism impact, with sub-themes of road development as an effect of tourism, tourism as a source of residents' income, and increased land value due to tourism; landslide as destination image concern and increased garbage volume due to tourists' influx; and interaction between tourists and residents and safety and security condition in tourism destination, respectively. The findings indicate that residents recognized the positive contribution of the Waterfall Leisure Camp to the economic, environmental, and sociocultural aspects of the community, notwithstanding its negative impacts.

With the in-depth development of online tourism platforms, the online review of products in scenic spots has become an important basis for tourism consumption decisions. Through data mining and analysis of the online review of products in scenic spots, the tourism image perceived by tourists has become an important way to study the tourism image of scenic spots. Taking the Yearning Tea Plantation as an example, the word frequency and the content of tourism image attributes were analyzed by using the ROST CM6 content mining system software to comment on the online tourism platform for the sample of tourists, to understand the tourists’ perception of the tourism image of the Yearning Tea Plantation, and to provide the basis for the improvement and improvement of the tourism image of the leisure agriculture scenic spot.

Purpose This paper aims to analyse how leisure boat tourism impacts are perceived by local communities in coastal areas. For this purpose, a review of the literature on nautical and leisure boat tourism, together with residents’ attitudes, is presented. On that basis, authors consider economic, socio-cultural and environmental impacts, together with general development and future policies of nautical tourism, and cluster the coastal community according to their attitudes towards leisure boat tourism. Design/methodology/approach Primary data are collected among residents of coastal municipalities in the north part of the Adriatic Sea. Within the theoretical framework of social representation, a cluster analysis is performed on 233 valid questionnaires, collected during winter 2013. Findings Interviewed residents believe that leisure boating has a long tradition and has offered improvements to the municipalities as tourism destinations. They consider leisure boat tourism as a catalyst for tourism development and international tourists’ attraction. The cluster analysis reveals the existence of three homogeneous groups of residents labelled as supporters (51 per cent), cautious (29 per cent) and sceptics (20 per cent). Practical implications Practical implications are derived for destination managers and destination management organizations (DMOs) in addressing internal marketing and larger advertisement of the positive impacts leisure boat tourism has over the local community. Originality/value The paper enriches the discussion on residents’ perceptions on nautical tourism and specifically on leisure boat tourism in coastal areas. Limitations are linked to the exploratory nature of the research paper, the sample and the geographical connotation of the study area. Further research will enlarge the data collection to a wider number of coastal communities and integrate results with qualitative analysis.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate and compare the role of communication, structural and intangible elements on both tourists’ rational and emotional engagement across five different types of events (nature, gastronomy, religion, theatre and music). Design/methodology/approach Responses from 1,528 tourists were obtained through a face to face questionnaire in five heterogeneous events in the Spanish region of Extremadura, a well-known cultural tourism destination. Linear regressions were used to evaluate focal constructs’ contribution (emotional and rational engagement, formal and informal communication and structural and non-structural elements) on tourists’ engagement across events. Findings The results revealed that tourist’s rational and emotional engagement depends on the type of event. Non-structural elements seem to be important for rational and emotional engagement for gastronomic and cultural events. Besides the impact of structural elements on rational engagement, all other factors seem to have a mixed influence. Therefore, practitioners must select the factors to highlight according to the type of events, besides structural factors. Practical implications The current results allow tourism managers to understand the mechanisms for tourists’ engagement in a multi-event scenario to strategically select and use and communicate each type of appeal when planning and communicating events to specific target audiences. Originality/value Unlike most studies that focus on a single event or typology, this study combines a set of heterogeneous events to provide a complete picture of tourism engagement for the tourism sector.

The ability to experience distinctive adventure appears limited today in comparison to the accounts of past exploring heroes. Even with these perceived limitations, there is continued growth in remote adventure tours. Guided by a Bourdieusian lens, this article examines the negotiation of authenticity, distinction and identity in the websites and blogs of companies and tourists during the 2010 spring Mt Everest climbing season. The interpretation suggests company blogs offer tourists an experience framed in mountaineering myth. The mountaineering guides’ capital derived from skill, experience and decision making ability make this experience possible. The tourists’ blogs offer authentically, recognisable environments, practices, and emotions disguising their limited mountaineering abilities. Tourist’s existential stories seek to transcend and appropriate mountaineering capital. For the females in this study, tour experience has supported careers based on mountaineering adventurer social identities. The companies’ tourism products facilitate the professional adventure tourist’s role model claims to ‘authentic’ adventurer identities.

Purpose – This paper studies the problems and specific issues related to tourism and coastal urbanism, namely through an analysis of the tourist's, the resident’s and tourism management's evaluation of the elements of the tourist offer related to space, environment and sustainable development in the tourist region of Kvarner (Croatia). Design - The strategic guidelines for tourism development must be based on the principles of sustainable development, that is, on a balanced relation between the economic, physical, environmental and social factors of development. This includes the preservation of urban and spatial alignment and overall development. Methodology / Approach – Empirical research was conducted using a sophisticated questionnaire adapted to each target group (tourists, residents, tourism management), printed in Croatian, English, German and Italian. A Likert scale with both open- and closed ended questions was used, ranging from 1(worst) to 7 (best). The latter part of the questionnaire evaluated 37 tourism offer elements. The collected questionnaires were encrypted and statistically analysed. The method of one-to-one interviewing was mostly used in gathering data, although the questionnaire was self-administered by respondents in a small number of cases. Findings – It is indicative that tourists (5.79) have, on the average, rated the elements of the tourism offering with a higher score than residents (5.31), while the score given by tourism management is somewhere in between (5.61). This suggests that residents are more critical, but also more aware, of the need for improvement in all elements of the tourism offering. Priority is given to the natural factors (5.56). These results indicate that all target groups agree that natural factors - space, resources and the environment- must be protected. Originality of the research – This study provides reliable and actual basic quantitative and qualitative information about the attitudes of tourists, residents and tourism management toward the tourism offer of Kvarner and its destinations.

In recent years, under the background of the national development strategy of rural revitalization, rural tourism has become a new way of tourism. With the upsurge of rural tourism, there has also been a wave of “homestay fever” across the country. Country house tourism is a personalized rural tourism method that has emerged with the development of our country’s tourism industry in recent years. However, in the context of the surge in the number of homestays in rural tourism destinations, homogeneous competition, simple replication, low-price competition, and other quality development problems have become increasingly prominent. In order to realize the high-quality development of country houses and meet the differentiated needs of customers, it is necessary to explore the dimensions of tourists’ perceived value of country houses from the perspective of tourists, to study the gap between tourists’ expectations and actual perceptions, and from the perspective of tourists’ value perception to make suggestions for improvement. This paper takes the theory of customer perceived value as the theoretical basis, and on the basis of referring to the relevant literature, combined with the actual situation of the homestay in Luci Village, to construct an index system of the perceived value of tourists in the country house. Use IPA (Importance-Performance Analysis) to identify the difference between the actual performance and expected importance of tourists’ perceived value, use questionnaires and statistical software to analyze the difference in guest satisfaction and importance, and put forward key improvement goals to improve the quality of homestay development in the future. The effectiveness of the method proposed in this paper is verified through the case of a country house in Luci Village, Tonglu County.

This study aims to determine whether the leisure travel consumption behavior of gay tourists reflects hedonistic tendencies, as seen through the lens of the French philosopher Michel Onfray. The methodology employed in this research is a qualitative-quantitative study, which combines theoretical and empirical investigations grounded in exploratory-descriptive research, incorporating elements of Queer Theory. It provides a concise bibliometric analysis of LGBTQIA+ tourism, drawing from dissertations, proceedings of the ANPTUR Seminar, and articles in the Journal of Homosexuality. The theoretical-philosophical foundation of the study is rooted in the philosophy of hedonism, which connects the pursuit of pleasure with tourism. Empirically, it draws on three sources of data: (1) data published by Community Marketing & Insights from 2012 to 2019; (2) exploratory research carried out during the 22nd LGBTI Pride Parade in São Paulo (2018); and (3) a survey conducted with 1406 gay and bisexual male respondents. The findings revealed distinctions between the Brazilian audience and North American tourists across various dimensions, not aligning with the economic and motivational traits identified by the World Tourism Organization.

THE MYTH OF ELITISM IN QUALIFIED TOURISM.THE EXAMPLE OF THE TATRA NATIONAL PARK Qualified tourism, understood as the highest form of tourism, the most perfect kind of conscious tourism, was introduced and popularised in Poland in the 1950s by the PTTK Polish Tourism and Sightseeing Society. Combined with a knowledge of the so-called tourism culture, pursued with passion and expertise, today it concerns a relatively small, ambitious group of active tourists having very precise interests and seeking the highest form of tourist specialisation. The considerable demands for the participants means that the term “qualified tourism” is increasingly replaced with the term “active tourism” available to a broader section of society. The phenomenon is associated with socio-economic and cultural transformations, including the postmodern commercialisation of leisure time. Forms of outdoor recreation are becoming more and more accessible, while transformations of lifestyle, amount of free time and ways of spending it influence tourists’ preferences and tourist activities. What is also significant is the fashion for active leisure created in recent years by the media. Such a “simplified”, pop-cultural approach to active tourism contributes to reckless and irresponsible behaviours of tourists, as is perfectly illustrated by what happens in the Tatra National Park. Despite the fact that it is a fairly small part for European standards, it is one of the “busiest” in terms of tourist traffic. In its highest season July and August its visitors include both conscious tourists appropriately prepared for mountain hiking including qualified tourists and “casual” tourists, motivated mainly by their unreflecting need to “do” the most popular sites in Poland’s highest mountains.The authors of the article discuss the specificity of qualified tourism and refer to examples of hikers visiting the Tatra National Park in the highest summer season. They demonstrate the elitist nature of the principles of qualified tourism and thus refer to the practice, i.e. behaviour of tourists. In this they point to the lack of boundaries in the exploration of Poland’s highest mountains as well as their demystification.

The purpose of this study was to find a way for modern tourists to enjoy increased well-being while being provided with high-quality information about cultural assets. In order for tourists to enjoy well-being, cultural tourism guides must provide quality services while using various storytelling techniques. As the number of tourists who are interested in cultural assets and use their leisure time for this purpose increases, quality cultural tourism commentary can be directly connected to the well-being of tourists. Modern tourists can experience richness of life and emotional stability while being provided with cultural tourism commentary services through various storytelling techniques rather than professional knowledge. In order for tourists to effectively experience well-being through cultural tourism commentary, cultural tourism guides need to implement the following effective commentary. First, culture tourism guides should try to have sense of unity with visitors. Second, they should encourage humanistic imagination through related information. Third, they should provide customized explanations for tourists’ understanding because tourists consist of various classes and ages. Cultural tourism guides who attract tourists’ interest, have appropriate wit, skillful responses to cope with unexpected situations, cheerful laughter, and a loud voice gained satisfaction from many tourists. In modern society, cultural tourism commentators are not limited to simply explaining tourist destinations, but play an important role in satisfying the well-being of modern tourists who seek leisure and emotional stability. The external environment that refers to outdoor atmospherics is also crucial as it influences visitor experiences. In museums, external physical environment factors such as architectural style, positioning of entrances, and exterior décor and signage can be a crucial facet of external ambiance affecting visitor experiences. The external environment (e.g., spacious design, pretty landscape design, outdoor natural surroundings) is a constituent of the tangibility aspect of museum performances. These external environment factors and internal factors together create perceived physical environments that visitors and staff cognitively/emotionally/physiologically respond to. The significance of this study is that various cultural storytelling activities performed by tour guides are examining the possibility of experiencing increased psychological well-being while making tourists as well as themselves aware of the happiness and joy of life.

Purpose This paper aims to explore Indian consumer behaviour towards tourism and identifies their preferences when planning leisure trips. Design/methodology/approach Based on a literature review, a questionnaire was designed giving more focus on pleasure or leisure trips. After that data were collected using an online survey method, and this yielded 165 responses that were analysed by using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Findings The findings reveal that among Indian tourists, highland locations are the most preferred location for a leisure trip. While selecting a tourist location and planning a leisure trip, Indian consumers look for security and safety followed by the available amenities, budget and weather conditions. Family and friends’ suggestions and the various activities available at the destination also have a moderate impact on the consumer’s choices. Research limitations/implications The article contributes to emerging research on the Indian tourism industry and consumer behaviour in tourism. Practical implications Research can help tourism companies and agencies to design innovative solutions to increase as well as maintain their customer base. Originality/value This article adds some value to the current literature specifically related to leisure tourism. The factors identified that impact on consumer decisions (including demographic factors) can be further investigated to provide innovative solutions.

Purpose The main purpose of the study is to determine international leisure tourist perceptions with regard to crime, to assess the influence of demographic factors and to investigate the influence of prior, during and post-visit measures on international leisure tourists’ crime perceptions. Design/methodology/approach A personal intercept interview survey was used to collect the data at popular Cape Town (CT) tourist attractions via structured questionnaires. A generalized linear model was used to statistically assess respondents’ crime-related perceptions. Qualitative data was also generated via individual in-depth interviews, which were conducted among nine international leisure tourists. Findings The study found that international leisure tourists exhibited favorable sentiments regarding crime preparations; general safety information; post-visit crime related perceptions but were less positive about security safety information during their visit. International leisure tourists maintained that crime did not inhibit their activities and was not worse than anticipated during their visit. A majority of tourists indicated that they were not deterred by crime and would revisit CT. Research limitations/implications The research was limited to a single city and to English-speaking international leisure tourists. The study was cross sectional in nature and the number of data collection sites was limited to four of the popular tourist attractions in CT. Practical implications The study showed that a relatively high number of international leisure tourists had either witnessed or experienced crime in CT. Hence, a separate South African Police Service tourism protection unit could be established to help circumvent crime in CT. Originality/value The study used both quantitative and qualitative approaches to provide a comprehensive overview of international leisure tourist crime perceptions, which included prior, during and post-visit measures, of one of the top tourist destinations in the world. Additionally, this study is one of the few recent endeavors to assess the influence of a broad range of demographic and crime-related factors on international leisure tourists’ prior, during and post-visit crime perceptions in an African developing country.
