“…Yet, one important group of guests, in terms of economic liquidity, is winter cruise tourists. This is a type of tourism that challenges the owners' eco-centric values, as it is questionable whether it contributes to well-being for all or instead limits the reciprocity of soil and society (Weaver, 2005; Rhama, 2019). Therefore, TT has been working strategically to develop activities in other markets to become less dependent on mass tourism.…”

PurposeThe study aims to investigate how tourism actors' methodologies fuel the development of regenerative activities anchored in the reciprocity of nature and humans directed at bringing well-being for all living beings.Design/methodology/approachTo shed light on micro-scale regenerative creation processes in tourism, the authors engage in co-creative case study research with the owners of a small value-driven tourism firm in Arctic Norway in their creation of activities that strengthen the human–nature relation.FindingsThe authors found that the values of the tourism firm's owners constitute the soul creating regenerative activities based on the reciprocity of soil and society. Thus, the authors posit that soil, soul and society are at the core of developing regenerative tourism activities. A key finding identified is that it is challenging for small eco-centric driven firms to co-create regenerative tourism activities within a capitalocentric system. For regenerative activities to become regenerative tourism practices, multiple actors across levels of operations must act as responsible gardeners.Originality/valueThe study extends current literature on regenerative tourism by providing in-depth insights into the methodology, illustrated through soil, soul and society, guiding one small tourism firm's development of regenerative tourism activities and what drives these processes. The study also contributes knowledge that broadens the use of well-being in tourism to better address current capitalocentric challenges limiting the development of regenerative practices.

“…In addition to monetary cost represented by money expenditure, nonmonetary cost mainly includes energy cost and psychological cost. Energy cost includes time cost, mental cost and physical cost [42]. Psychological cost refers to the psychological 'unhappiness' that customers feel in the process of consumption, including risk cost, switching cost and situational cost [43].…”

Regional tourism with urban agglomeration as the spatial carrier has become one of the flow characteristics of many tourists. Tourists visiting multiple cities at one time will certainly gain more value than visiting one city, but they will also pay more costs, thus affecting their emotions and willingness to travel. But the mechanism and theoretical boundaries have not been clarified. Based on the cognitive–affective–behavioral attitude model and the customer-delivered-value model, this paper takes the tourism destination tourists of the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area urban agglomeration as samples to explore the influence mechanism of tourists’ perceived functional value, social value and knowledge value on positive emotion and travel intention, and to test the moderating mediating effect of monetary cost, energy cost and psychological cost on positive emotion. Social value and knowledge value positively affect travel intention. Functional value, knowledge value and social value positively affect positive emotion, and positive emotion positively affect travel intention. Positive emotion plays a complete mediating role between functional value, social value and travel intention, and plays a partial mediating role between knowledge value and travel intention. Monetary cost, energy cost and psychological cost respectively moderate the mediating effect of positive emotion between functional value and travel intention. Psychological cost moderates the mediating effect of positive emotion between social value and travel intention. Monetary cost and psychological cost respectively moderate the mediating effect of positive emotion between knowledge value and travel intention. Differences in the impact of consumers’ perceived value at different levels on positive emotion and travel intentions. It opens up the differences in the effects of the interaction of different levels of perceived value and different types of perceived cost on positive emotion. From an empirical point of view, it is proved that the tourism boutique line design based on multicity destination combination in China is feasible as a method to promote tourism integration and regional tourism brand building. It also puts forward the management enlightenment of regional tourism integration and regional tourism brand building from the perspectives of enterprises, front-line service personnel, residents and government.

“…With the increase in tourists in ancient villages, environmental damage, e.g., air and water pollution, is inevitable [18,26,28,47]. Rhama (2019) [70] suggested that tourism development may bring many environment problems to the community, such as noise, vandalism, and queues. With the development of tourism, an increasing number of tourists have begun to visit WAV.…”

“…More seriously, the existing tourist infrastructure, e.g., tourist toilets and rubbish bins, was unable to meet the needs of high-quality tourism service (M = 4.03). Previous studies have proven that environmental pollution due to increased tourism, such as littering and noise, is a significant impact that affects PCTC2 [17,48,70]. Rising environment costs have significantly increased pressure on residents [70], which may cause further resentment among them.…”

As increasing numbers of tourists have begun to visit ancient villages, conflicts between tourism development and residents have become one of the main challenges to the sustainable development of the tourism community. This research explores the relationship between community participation and residents’ support for tourism development in an ancient village. This study surveyed 249 indigenous residents living in Whampoa Village, Guangzhou, China. The findings show that community participation in tourism development has a positive influence on residents’ support for tourism development, and this relationship is mediated by the perceptions of conflicts in the tourism community. This study contributes a new theoretical perspective and practical implications for the sustainable development of ancient villages.
