The techno-tourism life brings together insights about innovative tourism and examines how travel life is influenced when social network structure like "Facebook" enters the picture. The end result is a landmark analysis of digital socialization and the knock of the internet and digital media across travel institutions. This research circumscribes the 'tourists-marketers facebook pages' of Nepal. Using archived online narratives from facebook page of travel-marketers (TMs), after the event of Nepal earthquake 2015, this study seeks to examine how techno-tourism redesigns lives through meaningful travel plus the coverage toward which event enthusiasts participate in chats of interactional causes. This study first of all dissects the intrinsic features of the facebook just like facebook pages exploitation by travel marketers during Nepal's earthquake disaster at district, zonal and state level. The study then offers some interesting insights for tourism marketers. It involves the statistical and mathematical model to observational and experimental datasets of their facebook posts and fans participation. This research drafts the importance of network science of super-connected digital voyagers, studying their sways, their point of views, their approaches of travel and their intensions for inspiring this style of travel feasible in requisites of work and money. As relationships are the foundation for social media sites; facebook is primarily used to raise awareness and create story telling. Hence this investigative study also has meaningful implications for public policy as well as super-connection as global impact. By adducing human race into one another's care, letting them to fathom commonalities, likewise endowing the resources by which they can super-connect one another, the digital media and World Wide Web chip-in greatly to the "techno-social life". This research is a great choice for general readers interested in this topic as well.
Purpose – the purpose of this research is to systematically understand the behavioral and emotional aspects of potential tourists and investigated the conceptual model in the context of the travel marketers’ (TMs) facebook fan pages.
Research methodology – the present study performed the two-step SEM approach suggested. the first step involved confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), which was used to validate scales for the measurement of specific constructs proposed in a research model and SEM followed.
Findings – the supportive part of the conceptual framework studied how the cognitive (information source, social interaction ties, design characteristics) and effective (entertainment) factors influenced attitudes.
Research limitations – the key limitation of this topic may belong to the propensity of the sample to embody the population. This also has a certain influence on SEM exploration.
Practical implications – this study provides important guidelines for fan pages’ designers and marketers in the tourism sector especially during the time of destination image crisis.
Originality/Value – this research was the earliest to relate the prototype willingness model on travel and tourism Facebook fan pages. In a sense, this research offers a basis for acclimating the prototype willingness model to the touristry social media setting.
One of the facts that are getting quite well known is the disappointing export performance of BRICS in recent years. What hasn't been appreciated is the fact that the extraordinary lengths of governments of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa have gone to boost their exports. Hence developments in BRICS trigger numerous questions as to what one should expect the new market and institutional equilibrium to look like. Indeed initiative like capital structure, funding structure, emerging optimal benchmark portfolio is taken into accounts, raising the question-on BRICS competitiveness. This paper has come up with the focuses on why the mighty BRICS matters, and the main market and policy developments that is relevant from both a BRICS financial stability and integration perspective. The present paper reflects possible market and policy developments, global alliances, implications and trade relationship solutions.
Purpose – the purpose of this paper is to investigate whether supply line engineering strategies of goods and service exports, exports transport services and export time have a significant impact on GDP growth of BIMSTEC countries or not.
Research methodology – the study employed a panel vector error correction model (VECM) instead of loose VAR to examine the short and long-run relationship among the selected indicators and GDP growth.
Findings – in the long-run, the time of export negatively and suggestively associate with GDP. Conversely, VECM based Granger causality test signposted that in short-run only unidirectional causality running from goods and service exports (GSE), trade duration like exports time (ET) toward GDP and for the rest of the variables no causality found.
Research limitations – this study is contextualized only on Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Thailand.
Practical implications – to investigate the current position of the link between supply line logistics strategies and economic growth by using annual data for the period of 1980 to 2014 and possible weaknesses and logistics presence.
Originality/Value – this paper is an attempt, first of its kind, to fill up this shortfall, to estimate the relationship of exports transport services, exports time, and goods and services exports with GDP growth of BIMSTEC countries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
