“…This research extends the understanding of the tourist gaze (Urry & Larsen, 2011) by including travel companions as objects of the gaze, revealing a dynamic process in which positive emotions are transmitted between travel companions through shared interactions. Emergent findings respond to postulations evident in prior research which predominantly focus on tourists' interactions with providers and hosts, thereby neglecting travel companions (Li et al, 2023). Analysis revealed interactions with travel companions have demonstrated capacity to enhance bonds between family members, partners and friends.…”

Research on positive psychological outcomes of tourism has experienced exponential growth. However, a critical dimension of tourist wellbeing, affiliation, remains underexplored and conceptually underdeveloped. This study draws on 26 in‐depth interviews with international tourists to Fiji to explore the influence of affiliation with nature and social connectedness on tourist wellbeing. Findings demonstrate the integral role of travel companionship, tourist affiliation with nature and connection with local people as critical determinants of positive psychological outcomes. An integrative model across the domains of gaze, practice and reflection is developed to demonstrate how affiliation with nature and social connectedness influence tourist wellbeing. Future research should explore the multi‐sensual character and the therapeutic potential of tourist social encounters and interactions with nature and subsequent implications for tourist wellbeing.

“…Additionally, they create interactions with other museum visitors, ultimately making the museum atmosphere enjoyable, lively, and engaging rather than mundane (Chomchoei, 2014;Daria & Andrzej, 2018). Furthermore, places where positive interactions between tourists can contribute to experiences and provide a competitive advantage for destinations (Li et al, 2023). From research studies conducted by Chomchoei (2014), Conti and Pencarelli (2017), Daria and Andrzej (2018), Manna and Palumbo (2018), Sanguankeo (2014), it was found that significant variables related to activities include: (i) a variety of activities, (ii) enjoyable activities, (iii) activities that promote participation, and (iv) extra or special activities.…”

Generation Y visitors, the largest portion of the population, are now passionate about traveling to an attractive destination and are open to new experiences. Museums, which traditionally attracted older visitors, are beginning to adapt and evolve to better connect with younger visitors, especially Generation Y, who have different desires and expectations. This quantitative research examines the museum management factors influencing Generation Y visitors’ decision-making to visit museums. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 400 Generation Y Thai museum visitors. The data were analyzed using binary logistic regression. The results reveal four factors affecting Generation Y visitors’ decision-making to visit museums—facilities, interpretation, technology/innovation, and activities—with a statistical significance of 0.05. The museum focusing on Generation Y visitors should provide facilities, interpretation, activities, technology, and innovation, as this study recommends. Therefore, the museum management focusing on Generation Y visitors should strive to create new experiences through interactive and innovative activities, aligning with technology to satisfy, excite and engage this generation.

“…Empirical evidence suggests that compared to other leisure activities, family tourism fosters a greater intention to interact between individuals and their family members [22], and people are willing to exert greater efforts to maintain a positive interaction with their family members during family tourism than their daily lives [40]. Differing from tourist-to-tourist interactions among unfamiliar tourists, where much of the existing research focuses [41], tourist-to-tourist interactions among family members are acquaintance interactions, and many of them are direct interactions involving activities such as cooperative preparation [42] and experience sharing [43], which has been proven to yield positive effects in many cases [40,41,44,45]. Therefore, this study proposes the following hypotheses: Hypotheses H1a.…”

Adult children accompanying their parents on trips is a particular form of family tourism. During family travel, adult children assume two roles: as tourists, they pursue personal hedonic experiences, while as children, they also bear the responsibility of showing filial piety towards their parents. These two roles entail inherent contradictions. How this conflict influences the formation of family tourism values between adult children and their parents, and ultimately impacts adult children’s intention to accompany their parents on future trips (re-travel intention), requires further in-depth analysis. Based on the perspective of tourist-to-tourist interaction and role conflict theory, this study applied a “value–attitude–behavior” model to empirically analyze the relationship between the interactions of adult children and parents during the tourism and their re-travel intention. An empirical investigation was conducted with 566 adult children from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. The result of the structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis indicates that both positive interactions and role conflict have significant impacts on the formation of family tourism values, and these impacts are moderated by self-efficacy. Furthermore, these two variables influence attitude through the values of filial piety and family connection, which, in turn, affect the re-travel intentions of adult children. This study confirmed that the higher the self-efficacy of adult children, the better effect the positive interaction has and the less impact the role conflict has, which ultimately affects adult children’s re-travel intention. At the theoretical level, this study reveals the process of the formation of “adult children–parents” family tourism values, and provides practical insights for family tourism marketing.
