“…Selfies are a way of touristic looking directed at the self and are an increasingly important part of tourism for many tourists (Dinhopl & Gretzel, 2016). With such developments the relative importance of the self versus the tourist attraction reverses and tourists become more central than the tourist attraction in the photograph (Dinhopl & Gretzel, 2016). Where tourist's once went on holiday to see and photograph sites, they now go to photograph themselves with sites as backdrops (Lyu, 2016).…”

“…"Rather than the camera extending outward to capture a destination, the camera is now not only more often pointed at the self than before, but often pointed at the self by the self" (Dinhopl & Gretzel, 2016, p. 131). Thus, the extraordinary nature of tourist destinations that tourists seek to visually consume and photograph is now in large part provided by tourists themselves (Dinhopl & Gretzel, 2016).…”

“…Its contents may not be as narcissistic as can initially appear. The pouting "duckface" seen so often in selfies for instance, is arguably often a self-conscious, ironic and self-parodying pose appropriate to the medium (Dinhopl & Gretzel, 2016). Selfies are arguably not considered portraits, but rather portraits of the self in the act of portrayal (Levin, 2014).…”

“…There is evidence that people posting selfies are aware of their audience and adjust behaviour in order to gain positive reaction and avoid censure (Hogan, 2010;Marwick & Boyd, 2010). Social media is used for image management as photographs fit into narratives of the self and the quest for identity management (Dinhopl & Gretzel, 2016). These are kept in mind by the tourist throughout a trip with satisfactory photographs deliberately posted on social media in order to convey desirable impressions to others (Lo & McKercher, 2015).…”

“…There is some evidence to suggest that tourism is likewise becoming more narcissistic. We are arguably witnessing a growth of tourist self-objectification (see Dinhopl & Gretzel, 2016), such as travel being undertaken for purposes of self-presentation via social media (i.e. Lo & McKercher, 2015;Lo, McKercher, Lo, Cheung, & Law, 2011).…”

Narcissism normalisation: tourism influences and sustainability implications

The concept of narcissism normalisation suggests that individuals and societies are becoming more narcissistic due to various cultural influences. Tourism is reviewed here as one such possible influence. Exploitative, entitled and exhibitionistic tendencies associated with narcissism are wellestablished in tourism. Yet tourism is also an intimate, communal and satisfying activity which may counteract narcissism. Increases in narcissism have significant implications from a sustainable tourism perspective. Narcissism is associated with exploitative and entitled behaviours that over time cause significant harm to those people and landscapes that come into contact with. Narcissism appears to be incompatible with principles of sustainability and the challenges this poses for the industry are reviewed, while the opportunities are also explored. There are signs that narcissism, particularly those aspects relating to exhibitionism, can be co-opted to benefit sustainable development.

This research introduces and tests the concept of image‐generated word‐of‐mouth (iWOM), extending the scope of visual rhetoric and emotional contagion theories. Using collected paired data and PLS‐based structural equation modeling, this study examines the role of sojourners as adept visual influencers and of their images as critical marketing vehicles in VFR tourism. The findings demonstrate that sojourner iWOM influences the overall impression of receiving friends and relatives, a key mechanism that facilitates an intention to visit/engage in VFR tourism. Additionally, this study clarifies the intervening role of tie strength in the consumption of iWOM between two subgroups (friends/relatives), where tie strength is only found to strengthen the effectiveness of iWOM in shaping the perceptions and subsequently, visit intentions of the friends subgroup. Collectively, the findings provide initial insights into using online initiatives in marketing to target the difficult‐to‐reach VFR segment—a key segment in post‐crisis recovery.

E-Tourism Research, Cultural Understanding, and Netnography

For well over a decade, e-tourism researchers have been using netnography. Yet despite this use, netnography has thus far been under-utilized. Big data methods still predominate as a way to understand social media content, obscuring the potential for a more humanistic and meaning-rich understanding. This chapter is about netnography, a way to research social media that is flexible, contextualized, and enthusiastically agnostic about the type of data. Netnography has been developed as a way to study social media that maintains the cultural complexities of people's experiences. This chapter introduces the reader to the rigorous practice of netnography as it exists today. Then, it contrasts netnographic methods and insights with those provided by big data analysis approaches. Finally, it uses examples and illustration to explore key territories and implications of R. V. Kozinets () Jayne and Hans Hufschmid Professor of Strategic Public Relations and Business Communication,
