“…More specifically, from the economic and socio-cultural points of view, tourism should be able to contribute to better living conditions for the residents as well as to the preservation of their cultural tourism (Amerta et al, 2018). Many scholars have studied sustainable tourism from different disciplines, such as geographic information systems and natural resource management in communities (Ramaano, 2022), water-centric themes (Moyle et al, 2022), and gender intersectionality (Chambers, 2022), and focusing on residents and industries (Weaver et al, 2022). In addition, the research on the pattern of sustainable tourism development has attracted scholars’ attention.…”

This study highlights the role of a high-speed railway system in driving the tourism industry, as the tourism market prepares to achieve sustainable development after the COVID-19 pandemic. Considering the example of southwestern China, this study summarizes the configuration patterns of sustainable tourism development based on the fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis method, and subsequently uses the gravity model to express its core factor based on the ArcGIS platform. The study found that the tourism development pattern in this area was not homogenous, but rather a combination of six equivalent patterns (namely configured pattern). Tourism Economic Connection was the core variable to promote tourism development. Therefore, based on the configurational theory, each city should determine its own pattern and accordingly develop strengths as well as complement weaknesses. Furthermore, determined by the complexity theory, cities should capitalize on the strength of the high-speed railway system and learn from the accomplishments realized in other cities.

“…BAME). The consequence of tokenism creates additional stress and increased pressures of performance (Young and James 2001), particularly for women of color in tourism, who often suffer from a double form of discrimination caused by both sexism and racism (Chambers 2021). Airlines should consider lending greater recognition to the representation of marginalized and disadvantaged groups in their operations and their Instagram postings in order to challenge broader normative perceptions regarding who belongs in aviation employment.…”

Air transport and tourism are interdependent systems wherein idealized gender performances are shaped by organizational cultures and particular commercial interests that have implications for gendered representations. Organizations use social media spaces to influence public perceptions, yet in doing so they may (re)construct hegemonic notions pertaining to images of masculinity and femininity. This paper utilizes a feminist poststructuralist approach to deconstruct normative gendered assumptions that exist within the aviation sector's use of Instagram. Netnography is used to uncover the dominant discourses, as well as the complex representations of gender as represented by airlines on Instagram. Findings reveal that despite a minority of images that defy stereotypes, the airlines consistently construct and distribute playful imagery that objectifies female staff and hyper-feminizes the cabin space. In uncovering how airline organizational images may portray employees in gendered ways, this paper contributes to the achievement of SDG 5 i.e. gender equality in tourism. The paper recommends that the industry incorporates more diverse performances across all aviation occupational roles so that images that challenge stereotypes become part of the everyday.

“…For instance, in the 1980s, Kimberle Crenshaw (1989) introduced the concept of intersectionality, which proposes that an individual's identity is because of multiple, intersecting identities that give rise to specific individual experiences. Tourism scholars associated with studies on gender have applied this theoretical lens in recent times (Chambers, 2021). Other theoretical developments associated with critical race theory include QuantCrit and CritQuant that are both approaches based on the principle that numbers are not neutral or given and race is central to examining the issue at hand (Gillborn et al, 2018; Sullivan et al, 2010).…”

Discrimination and technologies in tourism: Applying critical race theory to future studies

Technology has been intertwined with hospitality and tourism from the 1940s. Current conversations on technology design, racial politics and ethics are almost absent from the tourism literature although wider technology literature focuses on this. Moreover, these technologies are still associated with the tourism industry and affect the business of practitioners and lives of tourists. This research note proposes the application of critical race theory to unravel these industry occurrences. As a result, technologies in tourism studies will not only focus on efficiency and empowerment but also inclusion, which can further enable an investigation into concepts of justice, equality and equity.
