“…Consequently, future studies are encouraged to test if there are any significant moderating effects of these characteristics on the relationship between gratification, social motives, financial risk, status quo, and satisfaction. Additionally, it is extremely important to investigate how children perceive luxury yachting experiences and how it can become an educational activity for them (Seraphin and Gowreesunkar, 2020; Seraphin et al ., 2022). In addition, other possible antecedents should be examined to redress the obvious gap in quantitative studies regarding luxury yachting.…”

PurposeAs a contribution to current knowledge of luxury yachting, this study applies a theoretical discussion to explain how gratification, social motives, financial risk and status quo interact to predict satisfaction and word-of-mouth intentions among luxury yachting travelers. Additionally, gender moderating effects on antecedent factors of satisfaction were examined.Design/methodology/approachA questionnaire was distributed in the United Arab Emirates, and 228 valid questionnaires were received which were analyzed with AMOS structural equation modeling.FindingsThe results of this study were analyzed using structural equation modeling. According to the results, factors such as gratification, social motives, and the status quo are significantly associated with satisfaction. The degree of satisfaction is directly related to the likelihood of spreading word of mouth. Result differences between males and females can be explained by moderating effects.Originality/valueThis is one of the first studies that examine the antecedents of luxury yachting to satisfaction and word of mouth impact.

“…The involvement of youths is indeed crucial to implementing responsible tourism, as their attitude may directly affect the development of the tourism sector (Eyisi et al, 2020). However, they are often excluded from the decision-making process (Seraphin et al, 2020) and lack the support to fully utilise their potential.…”

Global tourism trends highlight the growing tourism demand for authentic and sustainable tourism experiences. Youths are known to be natural travellers who have made travel an essential part of their lives; they are thus likely keep looking for tourism experiences as they age. In designing future-proof tourism development, however, they are commonly underrepresented or perceived as mere observers in the tourism industry. On the contrary, the heightened demand for innovative and sustainable tourism practices has magnified the potential of youths to be champions of responsible tourism. This paper presents cases of Southeast Asian youths who are engaged in promoting responsible tourism while preserving their local communities' natural, social, and cultural integrity. In particular, this study offers views on the challenges faced by youths in championing responsible tourism as well as strategies to cultivate responsible youth leaders.

“…'Quality education' is even one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), developed by UNESCO Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), and these SDGs act as a guideline to help toward the achievement of sustainability (Bradley, 2019). As for the Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME), another UN initiative, these have been put in place at a global level to promote the inclusion of sustainability in programmes in higher education institutions with the long-term objectives to have leaders who are literate in the area of sustainability (Bradley, 2019) and therefore become sustainability thinkers, actioners and transformers (Séraphin, Yallop, Seyfi & Hall, 2020).…”

The purpose of this chapter is to present secondary data around how the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) are adopted in a global context whilst making comparisons with the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index from the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report 2019. The discussion is centred around young adults (Generation Z) and their potential role and importance. In essence, we are trying to examine if tourism sustainability educational practice adopted within countries appears to transition into industry practice. For this, we consider success both from the perspective of tourism sustainability and general economic competitiveness. The findings suggest significant gaps (or current failure) between PRME delivery and achieving tourism sustainability globally, but generally highlights economic success where PRME uptake is strong. Thus, it would appear that PRME is not yet transitioning into industry practice; therefore, more needs to be done or adapted to achieve greater tourism sustainability, and we emphasise the role of Generation Z within this.
