“…The term Generation Z, which is often contracts to Gen Z refers to that demographic cohort that was born in the period between 1996 and 2012 (Bhore & Tapas, 2023). Generation Z who are also known as Gen Zers (Vacalares et al, 2023) are those individuals who were born in the era that witnessed different bad and good occurrences (Le & Arcodia, 2021) e.g. economic, environmental and political problems, increased rates of joblessness, as well as the emergence of modern features of technology e.g.…”

Attracting a varied array of tourists through adopting convenient marketing tools is considered an effective way to achieve success for the tourism industry. Generation Z is one of the most important categories of tourists at the present time and in the forthcoming years. This research seeks to comprehend factors influencing the digital tourism marketing of Generation Z tourists "applied to the Egyptian tourist destination". The research depended on primary data through addressing a questionnaire form to a number of (435) Generation Z tourists; from April, 2023 to November, 2023. The research also depended on utilising different sources of secondary data related to its subject. The findings have revealed that Generation Z tourists depend regularly on modern technological applications of tourism e.g. online travel agencies, tourism social media platforms and websites, and they are fond of new technological trends in tourism e.g. virtual tourism. However, the digital tourism marketing practices in Egypt face some challenges and it is not perfectly implemented to target younger generations of tourists e.g. Generation Z. Therefore, the research recommends enhancing and increasing the adoption of digital marketing practices in the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, as well as in Egyptian travel agencies to effectively market the Egyptian tourist destination for Generation Z tourists.

Purpose This study aims to empower cruise academia to assert their role as enablers, and potentially drivers, of sustainable, responsible and resilient cruise futures. Design/methodology/approach This contribution represents a synthesis and a critical reflection of cruise-related research-review literature over the last four decades, assessing its impact and potential in terms of influencing the evolution and future developments of cruise tourism. Findings Cruise research between the 1980s and the first decade of this century could be characterised as “ship-centric” and managerially focused. Over the last decade and up to the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, cruise research has become increasingly “cruise-destination centric”, with sustainability emerging as a dominant theme. Diverging somewhat from the public and media emphasis on environmental concerns and risks, academic research tends to focus on the economic aspects of sustainability. Nonetheless, and despite aiming for practical relevance, cruise research tends to remain reactive and lags behind industry trends. Research limitations/implications This paper proposes a shift from a “applied” to an “applicable” research paradigm, inspiring researchers to proactively shape the industry‘s future by embracing “what-ifs” in their thematic scope. Such a paradigm calls for a normativity-enriched methodological diversity, as well as the inclusion of transformational relevance as an indicator of research impact. Originality/value Public perceptions of cruise tourism have changed over the years, evolving from that of a promising holiday niche to a symbol of unsustainable mass tourism. In this context, cruise scholars are offered guidance for transcending the polarising debate of growth versus de-growth/limits while increasing the relevance and transformational impact of cruise scholarship.
