“…However, this definition can be seen just as a novel paradigm for further categorisation of tourist typologies, allowing for building appropriate consumer profiles. From a mindful tourist perspective, providing mindfulness services in the tourism domain can be seen as a genuine gesture of sincere care for consumer wellbeing which respects contemporary consumers' needs, compliments the etiquette of services in the tourism industry, and creates space for improving consumer loyalty (Stankov & Filimonau, 2019a). At the same time, mindful consumers could become more aware of the social contacts (Kang & Gretzel, 2012) which would prompt them to provide more genuine and sincere feedback on tourist services received (Stankov et al, 2020) The effects of the adoption of mindfulness practice in the tourism domain would go beyond the intra-and interpersonal levels.…”

Many see the COVID-19 pandemic as a turning point for tourism, a chance to reflect on the pressing environmental and socio-economic concerns of the industry, and an opportunity to pinpoint a more desirable direction. However, for tourism to revive as a less impactful and more meaningful industry, more mindful consumers are needed to take factual benefits from the gravity of the current situation. Mindfulness as a practice of bringing a certain quality of attention to moment-by-moment experiences has become an important asset for individuals to cope with the problems of modern life. It is even seen as a significant driver of lifestyle change in Western societies, resulting in an increasing number of more conscious consumers and mindfulness-driven products and services. The COVID-19 pandemic is a wake-up call and opportunity for the tourism industry to embrace the mindfulness movement, trusting in its capacity to reflect on the current problems and to pave a new way forward towards more compassionate and meaningful tourism for both hosts and guests.

Information Technology & Tourism, 23, 97-120. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40558-019-00161-2 (Stankov and Filimonau, 2019), the present findings suggest that destinations can enrich their offer of leisure activities by creating online content about routes, trails and paths, which can be uploaded to the most popular apps. Another option is for destinations to facilitate interactions between residents who do sport and sport tourists so that they can together generate content or exchange information about their routes, circuits or routines.…”

Wearable devices and mobile applications (hereafter referred to as apps) used in sport and physical activity have widely changed the way sport is practised. However, experts still understand little about the antecedents of tourists' sport apps use. Drawing on the theory of reasoned action, this study examined attitudinal and norm-based factors that influence users' continuance intention towards sport apps as predictors of use in trips. A questionnaire was designed based on the existing literature in order to collect the relevant data from centres and places for doing sport. The final sample consisted of 362 sport practitioners and users of sport apps, whose responses were used to test the model. The results indicate that all attitudinal factors (i.e. performance expectancy, effort expectancy, perceived satisfaction, perceived enjoyment and perceived gamification) and norm-based factors (i.e. social influences) affect users' continuance intention towards Smart Internet of Things sport apps. In addition, the respondents' continuance intention towards these apps affects their sport apps use in trips. Theoretical and managerial implications for the tourism industry are discussed.

“…The answer lies in recognizing the relationship between notions of work-life balance and a desire to disconnect [98], without eschewing the possibility of "e-mindfulness" by engaging in technology-assisted experiences [99][100][101]. No doubt, there is a digital ecosystem at a destination where the stakeholders come up with constant innovation in the form of e-commerce offers, co-creation activities, augmented reality, and so forth that are worth experiencing for the tourist [102].…”

This paper aims to analyze the external and objective barriers of the digital difference between being at home and being on holiday, and the intrinsic and subjective inhibitors to remaining online once at a destination. In this study, the literature is thoroughly reviewed, going beyond the traditional economic and technological explanations, along with those related to skill, to consider those rooted in well-being and psychology. Hence, a more integrative and exhaustive framework deals with how tourists approach their perceived hazardous and oversaturating digital environment. Finally, the role played by sociodemographics is studied by profiling those who are predisposed toward disconnecting in order to preserve their wellness. In total, 346 tourists were surveyed at random, with proportional stratification, on the island of Gran Canaria. The measuring instrument comprised a questionnaire whose scales gathered information about more than eighteen devices, twenty-eight social media platforms, and sixteen device and social media barriers. The obtained evidence demonstrates how crucial “detox” motivations are when trying to elucidate the differences in digital behavior between their home and holiday destination. Similarly, the evidence highlights that while gender, age, nationality, and income are associated with these differences, education is not. This study pioneers an analysis of the detox barrier regarding staying connected while on holiday and provides insight into how this intrinsic and subjective inhibitor interacts with other external hindrances to people’s health, both where they live and where they travel.
