The introduction of the sharing economy has revolutionized resident-tourist relationships and provides further implications of destination sustainability. Built on several well-established theories, this conceptual study intends to develop a new and holistic framework to examine destination sustainability, focusing on the change of resident-tourist relationships. The framework is first guided by the stakeholder theory to identify the four key stakeholders in the new sharing economy context: residents, tourists, governments, and the sharing economy platform. With the collaboration theory and resource theory as a foundation, the framework then describes each stakeholder’s specific needs and resources. The service-dominant logic further supports service exchanges and value co-creation among stakeholders. The framework then adopts the capital theory approach to conceptualize destination sustainability in terms of human, social, natural and manufactured capital. Finally, three propositions are developed to justify the new peer-to-peer collaboration paradigm that leads to destination sustainability. The proposed framework is aligned with the six-pillar transformation in e-Tourism research and serves as an intelligent solution to destination sustainable development in the sharing economy context.

The aim of the paper is to provide information based on data collected from the review of different reports about tourism, a fast moving and competitive industry, an ongoing challenge for the future when travelling is easier and the tourist has more choices and is more aspirational. We value the tourism of experience and that of niche, as the consumers are more cultivated and selective, traveling for self-discovery. New groups of consumers are willing to spend their hard- earned money for authentic travel adventure. Each experience is different and has psychological impacts, the authentic experience being obtained through identifying some new interactions of the tourist with the respective destination. Within this segment regarding the emotional impact we value the satisfaction of the tourists that is being influenced by some factors depending on the locations they had chosen. Luxury, culture, authenticity, experiences will shape the future in tourism. The digital technologies have become imperative in this competitive world and are shaping the traveler’s experiences as they provide valuable information. Our longing for journeys will always make us spend more money due to the higher level of living and this will go on as the number of tourists is increasing as well as the countries that invest in tourism.

Background: Despite the increase in tourism revenues, management in the hospitality industry faces constant challenges for profit maximization. In this way, the aim of this study is to analyze management accounting (MA) research applied to the Portuguese hospitality industry, identifying all the practices mentioned by authors studying the same theme in the rest of the world. Methods: fifty-two studies were obtained and used between 2010 and 2021 for data assessment through bibliometric review, which involved both quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis. To achieve the objectives, studies were selected according to the MA practices identified by several authors for the global hospitality industry. Results: the results highlight the importance of increasing research on MA practices in the hospitality industry to empower management and smooth out the differences between their use. Currently, the emphasis is on hotel ratios and indicators, budgeting, and benchmarking. Conclusions: The adoption of MA practices is decisive for the success of hotel companies. This study evidenced the increasing use of some hotel MA practices over the years and made it possible to assess the development of these practices in Portugal, since to date no other author has produced a bibliometric review on this topic.
