“…But this tech-mediated experience might only affects the overall cognitive and affective experience of age specific tourist cluster. This demonstrates tourist heterogeneity of expected destination emotional experience need to be considered by destination management organisation in developing experience co-creation environment within the destination, as discussed by Bohlin and Brandt (Bohlin & Brandt, 2014).…”

Millennial is known to be the generations that strongly empowered by technologies that apparently had altered the pattern of their consumption habits to shape a new form of tourist market. The great incursion of technology on Millennial does not only mediates the experience formation at destination, instead provide added value and emotional impact through its cognitive stimulation and experience co-creation possibilities. As the key instrument for experience enhancement, mobile technologies support users' needs of on-site information, virtually connect tourism providers and consumers, and unfold destination uniqueness. These in turn allow co-creation of tourist experience through satisfaction of Millennial's addiction of connectivity. Virtual connectivity seems to create new form of affective attachment, through which Millennial are emotionally bonded to the place due to the intensity of technological engagement. Consequently, instead of tourist-destination encounter per se, technological experience is potentially classified as the third aspects that dictate experience development, especially among Millennial travellers. Existing literatures indicates that Millennial strong engagement with virtual platform is capable to manipulate their on-site emotional experience, which apparently changing the conventional way of tourist experiencing the destination. Nevertheless, the significant of Millennial's technological engagement towards their destination emotional experience is still open for debates. Pertaining to this situation, this conceptual paper is attempted to understand the influence of technology in the enhancement of emotional experience, specifically among Millennial travellers, in better understanding the evolving demand of the new generations tourist from psychological perspective.

“…As O'Toole (1992,2007) notes, visitors, like communities, are assumed to be incapable of developing their own understandings of the heritage without the guidance of "experts." Recent research into the use of new mobile technologies and social media by visitors to create their own interpretation in tourist settings (cf., Bohlin and Brandt, 2014) indicates that the power balance between interpreters and visitors may be changing.…”

Abstract Purpose -This paper aims to address the question -is heritage interpretation an effective tool in tourism?Design/methodology/approach -The author takes a critical stance seeking to identify and evaluate key assumptions and questions about the nature and effectiveness of heritage interpretation as a tourism management tool. Findings -There are significant gaps in the available research into interpretation and in those areas that have been studied, there is only limited evidence that interpretation is effective. There are few important findings in this area and even where there are some sound and useful conclusions, they still do not address some of the more fundamental concerns about interpretation more broadly. Research limitations/implications -The paper identifies a set of topics for future research based on the outcomes of the review and consideration of the critiques of interpretation that could be used to improve and extend interpretation in tourism.Originality/value -By taking a critical perspective on interpretation and questioning the untested and implicit assumptions about the nature and role of this activity within tourism, the paper identifies issues relevant to the conduct of tourism research more generally that have been given little attention in the academic literature to date.

“…GIS technology as both an enhancer of tourist experiences (e.g. mobile phone apps and heritage site guides) and as a means of tracking tourists' movements and behaviors (Bohlin & Brandt, 2014;Shoval, Isaacson, & Chhetri, 2013) has recently become a prominent domain of geography-inspired research.…”
