“…This article focuses on the adoption of renewable energy innovations by consumers, notably by the owners/ managers of tourist accommodation establishments. 1 Research carried out in Europe and beyond has shown that the adoption of renewable energy innovations or renewable energy technologies in hotels and other types of tourist accommodation is low, namely between 6% and 25%, and the highest rate is for solar thermal panels (Coles, Dinan and Warren, 2015;Dalton, Lockington and Baldock, 2007;Karagiorgas et al, 2006;Knezevic and Vicic, 2008;Knowles et al, 1999). A review of the literature identifies several factors that influence the uptake of renewable energy in hotels.…”

The imperative of decarbonisation represents a great challenge for the tourist accommodation sector. This article examines the adoption of renewable energy innovations in the tourist accommodation sector of Portugal. The analysis focuses on one of the most known tourist accommodation products in the Portuguese countryside: Tourism in Rural Areas (TER). Drawing from two complementary e-mail-based surveys conducted with TER owners/managers, the results of the study show that there is a substantial gap between their positive perceptions of renewables and levels of renewable energy innovations adoption. The reasons pinpointed relate to unfavourable market factors and to institutional, legal, regulatory, or administrative hurdles. In addition, except for geographical location, the characteristics of the units and respondents had no significant influence on adoption.

“…By adopting these measures, these economies can make humans and cities safer, more resilient, and more sustainable. Tourism growth can help to ensure sustainable production and consumption patterns and contest the impacts of climate change (Coles et al 2015;Danish,, and Wang, Z. 2018;Fitchett et al 2017;Gössling and Peeters 2015;Yu et al 2019).…”

We examine the impact of energy consumption and tourism growth on the ecological footprints and economic growth of 38 International Energy Agency (IEA) countries, as moderated by labor and capital, over the 1995-2018 period. We develop a comprehensive empirical analysis that applies second-generation unit root and cross-section dependence analysis. The cointegration analysis indicates long-run relationships among the variables, while the fully modified least square (FMOLS) approach specifies that energy consumption promotes economic growth and degrades environmental quality in the long run, and tourism growth improves environmental quality and stimulates economic growth in the long run. In addition, the result of a pairwise Granger causality test reveals bidirectional causality between energy consumption and economic growth and unidirectional causality from the ecological footprint to energy consumption. Policy implications for theory and practice and directions for future research in the area are presented.

“…In particular, an MMR study may simultaneously answer both qualitative and quantitative research questions. For example, Coles et al (2015) examined the relationships between hotel property age, energy use and environmental innovations, and they had two objectives. Quantitatively, they explored business owners’ perceptions of the relationship between business and the environment, their environmental practices and operating characteristics.…”

“…Many destinations are thus modernising and adapting their management systems to satisfy complex consumer demands (Mehran and Olya, 2018) and local communities’ expectations (Nunkoo et al , 2013). At the macro level, destinations are facing many global mega-trends such as climate change, rising inequality and the changing nature of work (Coles et al , 2015). These issues and challenges are complicated, interconnected and involve multiple interacting systems; they thus require methodologies that can fully appreciate and critically analyze the plurality of all positions, practices and insights.…”

Purpose This paper aims to examine mixed methods research (MMR) that appeared in eight tourism and hospitality journals (“Annals of Tourism Research”, “Tourism Management”, “Journal of Travel Research”, “Journal of Sustainable Tourism”, “International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management”, “International Journal of Hospitality Management”, “Journal of Hospitality Marketing and Management” and “Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Research”) from 1998 to 2019. Design/methodology/approach This review paper was a mixed methods design and was conducted in three phases. In the first phase, a content analysis was performed to determine if each article could be classified as non-empirical, qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods. In the second phase, descriptive statistics was used to present the number and characteristics of MMR articles. In the third phase, the contributions of MMR to addressing particular issues in tourism and hospitality studies were investigated. Findings This study identified 753 mixed methods articles, wherein 482 articles (64%) were published in the chosen tourism publication outlets and 271 (36%) in the chosen hospitality publication outlets. MMR studies having a dominant focus on specific methods (459 articles; 61%) outnumbered those having an equal focus on the qualitative and quantitative parts (294 articles; 39%). In case one method was dominant, this was typically the quantitative. Sequential data collection was prevalent in most of the cases (94.2%). The contributions of MMR to addressing generic and specific research problems were also analyzed. Originality/value This is the first comparison of MMR in major tourism and hospitality journals.
