“…The hospitality and tourism literature suggests that if the perceived benefit of welcoming Muslim customers outweighs the cost of welcoming them, then owners will be willing to welcome Muslim customers. In line with previous empirical studies (Al-Ansi & Han, 2019; Egresi & Kara, 2018; Han et al, 2019), the perceived benefit from international Muslim customers (BI) is assumed to induce the satisfaction of local restaurant owners (SAT), which triggers willingness to welcome (WTW). Notably, hospitality scholars must provide theoretical and empirical pieces of evidence during hypothesis development.…”

Partial least squares path modeling (PLS-PM) and generalized structured component analysis (GSCA) are two key estimators derived from a full-fledged composite-based structural equation modeling (SEM). The analyses of PLS-PM and GSCA have been recently extended to mimic factor-based SEM, and the extended approaches are called PLSC and GSCAM, respectively. Simulation studies have confirmed that the relative performance of PLS-PM is comparable with that of GSCA. Similarly, GSCAM, PLSC, and the traditional factor-based SEM perform equally well in parameter recovery. Although composite-based SEM perfectly fits into the current research landscape that focuses on a prediction-oriented approach, empirical research in the hospitality context that uses PLS-PM, GSCA, PLSC, and GSCAM estimators is extremely rare. To encourage hospitality researchers to adopt these methodologies, we demonstrate an illustrative example using PLS-PM, GSCA, PLSC, and GSCAM based on the confirmatory composite analysis (CCA) procedure. Measurement and structural invariances, applications of model fit, PLSpredict, and importance-performance map analysis are incorporated into our example. Finally, practical management in the hospitality field based on this methodology is discussed.

“…However, the majority of previous studies are primarily focused on residents' ATT (Woosnam, 2011;Monterrubio, 2016). To the best of our knowledge, few studies have been undertaken on residents' ATTT (Palmer et al, 2013;Monterrubio, 2016;Chen et al, 2018;Egresi and Kara, 2018;Joo et al, 2018;Martín et al, 2018), and no research has simultaneously explored the relationship between residents' ATT and ATTT. With 39 semi-structured interviews with Hong Kong residents, Chen et al (2018) found that residents' unfavourable attitudes to Mainland Chinese tourists exceeded neutral or positive ATT.…”

“…Following the "perceptionsattitudes-behaviours" sequence, Martín et al (2018) found that residents' perception of tourism impacts was the main factor affecting their ATT and ATTT, in turn influencing residents' behavioural support for tourism in host communities. With a sample of 583 residents from Istanbul, Turkey, Egresi and Kara (2018) found that local communities were supportive of tourists, although different demographics, cultural backgrounds and the number of tourists would also change their attitudes. In 27 indepth interviews with Cancun residents (Mexico), Monterrubio (2016) found that realistic threats and intergroup anxiety were the main predictors of residents' pre-judicial ATTT.…”

How Residents' Attitudes to Tourists and Tourism Affect Their Pro-tourism Behaviours: The Moderating Role of Chinese Traditionality

2022

Although sufficient attention has been paid to residents' attitudes to tourism in previous studies, few studies have used residents' attitudes to tourists and tourism simultaneously to explain their support for tourism. This study fills this gap by examining the effect of place image and host–tourist interactions on residents' attitudes to tourists and tourism, respectively, and their consequent reactions by considering the moderating effect of Chinese traditionality. The proposed model is tested using data from 357 residents living in Huangshan, a fifth-tier city in China. Results demonstrate that attitudes to tourism and host-tourists interaction positively affect their pro-tourism behaviours. Moreover, attitudes to tourism mediate place the image's, host–tourists interaction's and attitudes to tourists' respective relationships with pro-tourism behaviours. Furthermore, the higher the Chinese traditionality of residents, the stronger the influence of their attitudes to tourism on pro-tourism behaviours. However, the relationship of place image and attitudes of residents towards tourists with pro-tourism behaviours are not supported. Findings offer critical implications for planners, practitioners and interested researchers.

Given the rising Muslim travel market and the scarcity of research on Muslim inbound market, it is important to elucidate how international Muslim travelers are perceived through the lens of residents in non-Islamic countries. This study provided an insight into how value cocreation is created through emotional solidarity and attitudes in the context of the Muslim travel market. Results of the structural model for American residents were comparatively similar to those of their Korean counterparts, which is indicative of both countries’ acceptance and tolerance of international Muslim travelers. In particular, residents’ openness to experience and the perceived benefit of international Muslim travelers for development of the tourist destination were significant predictors of emotional solidarity. Residents’ emotional solidarity subsequently explained their attitude toward international Muslim travelers. Attitude toward international Muslim travelers would lead to a positive attitude toward Muslim tourism, which in turn, triggered value cocreation behavior with international Muslim travelers.
