ARTICLES

Travel philanthropy: A multifaceted ‘exchange economy’

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 theoretical and conceptual understandings of the travel philanthropy phenomenon as a multifaceted and evolving exchange economy, a system characterised by a dynamic set of stakeholders’ roles and functions. Five key system perspectives are introduced outlining different purposes shaping the system. It contributes new critical understandings on why the exchange economy system exists for different actors and advances the science of open systems research applications in the travel and tourism domain.

Role reversal in adult child-aging parent family travel

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 as mediating mechanisms. A quantitative-dominant concurrent nested mixed methods approach was employed. Results show that adult children can benefit from assuming the parental role in relation to their elderly parents as this reversal in roles can promote their well-being by stimulating their commitment to parents and by reducing their perceived cost of sacrifice. These effects were also moderated by their parents' confirmation.

Community empowerment: Pro-poor tourism income distribution

Qingyun Pang, Fei Hao, Honggen Xiao, Jigang Bao

This article investigates income distribution in pro-poor tourism. Drawing on a five-year ethnography in Yuanyang, China, a three-level tourism income distribution model along with potential consequences of each mode was identified through thematic analysis of hybrid data (Study 1). Subsequently, government-led, corporation-led, and community-led mode designs were tested with a sample of 561 participants (Study 2). Results show that community-led income distribution leads to higher visit intention and willingness to pay whereas government-led and corporate-led modes have lower effects. Trust and engagement effectively mediate income distribution and behavioral intentions. This research contributes to the theoretical understanding of income distribution in rural tourism. Practically, businesses and local governments should prioritize community-led income distribution to enhance tourists' ethical behavior and promote sustainable practices.

Knowledge mobility after tourism entrepreneurial failure: Life after death?

Allan M. Williams, Isabel Rodríguez Sánchez

There has been limited conceptualization in tourism of the knowledge consequences of firm failure despite overall high failure rates. There is no simple dichotomy between the lost knowledge of failed firms and knowledge survival in successful firms. This paper therefore elaborates a three-stage conceptual model of the post-failure trajectories of knowledge. The model focusses on the distinctive combination of tacit and codified knowledge in context of impure public goods, their distribution within and beyond the firm, and their micro and macro determinants. Three main post-failure trajectories are identified: cold storage/black hole of knowledge, knowledge recovery, and knowledge recombination. A research agenda is outlined for this neglected aspect of tourism knowledge research which has significant implications for innovation.

Unintended indulgence in robotic service encounters

Sungwoo Choi, Lisa C. Wan, Anna S. Mattila

The hospitality and tourism industry is moving closer to implementing robotic service encounters as more companies use service robots in frontline service positions. However, we still lack knowledge of the unintentional effects of robotic service encounters. In three field and online experimental studies, we found that robotic service encounters unintentionally drive people to make indulgent choices because interacting with robots generates an exclusionary experience and a situational need to belong. These effects were muted when the service robot was humanlike and in the context of group consumption. This research contributes to the service robot and indulgence literature. Our findings suggest that managers should cautiously deploy service robots at their frontline, given consumers' growing interest in a healthy lifestyle.

Urban community-based tourism development: A networked social capital model

Thanakarn Bella Vongvisitsin, Wei-Jue Huang, Brian King

The rapid and uncontrolled tourism growth has impacted local livelihoods in many cities through commodification, gentrification, and expropriation. Though community-based tourism offers a prospective development alternative, the phenomenon has been underexplored in urban contexts which are more complex than their rural counterparts. The urban dwellers who are seeking to engage in collective actions need social capital. This study deploys a qualitative ethnographic approach using an in-depth interviewing technique undertaken in three historic Bangkok communities to investigate the dual nature of social capital in promoting and impeding cooperation and collaboration. The study presents six analytical themes and the networked social capital model to explain the roles of positive and negative social capital in urban community-based tourism development.

Building resilience to crisis through slack resources: A longitudinal analysis of US hotels

Linda Woo, Sung Gyun Mun, Kwanglim Seo

Building on slack resources theory and industrial characteristics, this study explores how hotels develop and deploy slack resources to achieve resilience to crisis. It conceptualizes that hotels could build various slack resources based on the flexibility of functional operations, such as rooms, food and beverage, and marketing. Using longitudinal data, we analyze the effects of slacks on resilience over long periods of time involving crisis, recovery, and post-recovery. Findings reveal the diverse impacts of slacks on resilience, suggesting that hotels should strategically use and accumulate different slacks at different times to maximize their resilience. This study contributes to tourism research on resilience and slack resource theory by providing theoretical framework and empirical evidence for the long-term process of slack utilization.

Public health emergencies and travelers' review efforts

Ziqiong Zhang, Bowen Wang, Rob Law, Yu Han

Public health emergencies have seriously affected the tourism industry. Meanwhile, one critical indicator of review quality, travelers' online review efforts, requires special research attention. This study takes the COVID-19 pandemic as an example in exploring how this crisis can influence hotel travelers' online review efforts and the underlying mechanism. Using a mixed-method design that includes secondary and experimental data analysis, the study results reveal that travelers' emotional expressions mediate the pandemic's impact on online review efforts. Specifically, the pandemic makes emotional expressions more negative, thereby reducing online review efforts. Furthermore, cognitive expressions moderate the above mediating effect such that the higher one's cognitive expression is, the weaker the mediating effect. This study also provides theoretical and practical implications.

“If you like your history horrible”: The obscene supplementarity of thanatourism

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 commercially, thanatourism works to support rather than subvert tacit endorsement of the neoliberal-capitalist present. Using Derrida and Žižek's theoretical articulations of ‘supplementarity’, we show how thanatourism and its dark historical content is made to function as an ‘obscene supplement’ to the neoliberal-capitalist present through three processes: managed metempsychosis, governed grotesquerie, and curated kitschification. Authenticity within thanatourism remains illusory, but an illusion that nonetheless perpetuates capitalist realism.

Curated Collection: Lifestyle mobilities

Digital nomadism, gender and racial power relations

Patricia Aida Linao, Bente Heimtun, Nigel Morgan

This study examines the interplay of race and gender in shaping the journeys of Asian female digital nomads who navigate the realms of travel and work simultaneously, through the lens of post-colonial feminism. Through our qualitative exploration, we contend that prevailing discourses constrain understandings of Asian women's lived experiences. While our respondents' narratives align with existing knowledge, our original contribution lies in our nuanced examination of the intersecting power dynamics of gender and race. These women's accounts highlight the pervasive influence of internalized racism, sexualized and racialized hegemonic norms, and the differential treatment of Westerners within digital nomadism. These revelations challenge idealized portrayals of digital nomadism, revealing the racial and gender-based discrimination that these Asian women confront on their journeys.

Flexwork and flextravel

Li Miao, Fiona X. Yang, Jinyoung Im, Qiao Zhang

Flexwork—flexible work arrangements that depart from the standard in-office, nine-to-five schedule—has become a staple in the post-pandemic era. The inherent flexibility of place and time in flexwork has significant implications for the travel and tourism sectors. This flexibility gives rise to adaptable travel/tourism arrangements, further blurring the boundaries between work and travel/tourism. Consequently, it creates a potential state where productivity and leisure are seamlessly interwoven. A theoretical framework is developed to encapsulate the temporality, spatiality, and liminality of this flexwork–flextravel state. This conceptualization, as a response to the increasingly indistinct demarcation of time–space dimensions and work–travel domains, carries implications for emerging travel patterns and the potential transformation of tourism landscapes and travel-related activities.
