“…A delicate balance must be maintained between mobility (Brabandt and Mau, 2013a) and the travel flows on which tourism is heavily based. Tourism's economic contribution is undeniable, but some formalities that regulate travelsuch as the cost of getting a visa and the associated procedures and requirementsare often dictated by tough laws that can significantly influence destination choice (Louisville, 2013).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate eVisa applications. eVisa is a service that falls under eTourism, whose growing use can be attributed to its ability to simplify the process of obtaining a visa. The objectives of this study were twofold: to explore the eVisa experience of tourists who have previously visited Turkey by using the service and to analyse the perceptions of stakeholders who have contributed to eVisa. Design/methodology/approach The present research has utilised two methodologies within the context of qualitative research methods. Data were gathered from tourists by using reviews (n = 1690) and in-depth interviews key actors (n = 4), which represent consumers and contributors’ perspectives on the eVisa system, respectively. While consumers dictate the demand of the service, contributors control its supply. The contributors referenced herein are relevant eVisa stakeholders in Antalya. Findings The research findings revealed eVisa facilitation’s positive effects on a destination’s image and tourists’ intentions to revisit destinations compared to when they use traditional visa-obtaining processes. The research findings then present suitable data for destination managers and policymakers regarding eVisa facilitation, followed by this study’s conclusions and implications. Research limitations/implications eVisa facilitation can foster demand for travel and tourism while maintaining bureaucratic elements of the traditional visa procedure. From a psychological perspective, eVisa facilitation can positively affect travel motivation to certain destinations where eVisas are applicable, as well as positively influence intentions to revisit tourist destinations. Originality/value The originality and uniqueness of the present study lies in its contribution to the increasing recognition of the significance and positive impacts of eVisa facilitation on travel and tourism demand.

“…In the post-9/11 era, 'degree of security risk' (Kyriakides and Torres, 2015) has infiltrated migration reception categories such that persons who are citizens of, or long-term resident in, designated high risk third countries are subject to greater regulation and restriction (Brabandt and Mau, 2013). Since 1998 the EU has operated a 'black/negative' high risk list of 135 countries and a 'white/positive' low risk list of 60 countries, where the populations of the former are subject to tighter visa restrictions (Van Houtum, 2010: 964).…”

Words don’t come easy: Al Jazeera’s migrant–refugee distinction and the European culture of (mis)trust

Al Jazeera’s August 2015 editorial decision to substitute ‘refugee’ for ‘economic migrant’ in its coverage of ‘the Mediterranean Migration Crisis’ provides an opportunity to re-frame the relationship between the politics of race, immigration and media representations of refugees. Situating the broadcaster’s publicly announced rationale for the decision within a critique of the migrant–refugee dichotomy enforced by European public policy, this article, first, demonstrates that the policy couplet mobilizes oppositional yet interdependent identities. The discursive distancing of ‘migrant’ from ‘refugee’ in news content does not dislodge their mutually reinforcing power to define the parameters of ‘inclusion’. Second, the article examines how the policy onus placed on refugees to justify their claim as ‘victims’ reproduces racialized codes of belonging that perpetuate the denial of autonomy. Persons seeking refuge in Europe must sustain an identity of ‘non-threatening victim’ if they are to gain recognition in a securitized culture of (mis)trust. Al Jazeera’s intervention strengthens the media representation of refugees as human beings without choice; yet, the broadcaster’s decision to ‘give voice’ by ‘challenging racism’ does not break the European political consensus on immigration and asylum that positions ‘non-Western’ peoples as victim/pariah, to be ‘saved’ and ‘suspected’. The media–policy–migration nexus ensures that refugee exclusion is always possible.

Visa regime policies are continuously changing worldwide to mirror the fluctuating political and commercial relations between different countries. Some countries impose substantial visa restrictions on developing countries. Other countries enhance visa facilitation to increase tourist flows from certain countries. These varying visa regimes can have important consequences in policy terms for tourism management. Some scholars in fact consider visas as a competitive advantage or disadvantage a destination can have in comparison with its competitors. While general opinion agrees that visa restrictions reduce the flow of tourists, it remains an empirical question to evaluate the actual impact. This paper examines the impact of the current visa regime policies of certain countries on the travel decisions of Egyptian outbound tourists. The research attempts to understand how visa restrictions or facilitation can impact the travel decision of international Egyptian tourists. Data was collected through a field survey conducted among Egyptian outbound tourists to realize the
