Cultural communication in museums: A perspective of the visitors experience

“…Research data indicate that if visitors can harvest positive emotions and physical experiences during their exhibition process, their museum satisfaction, practical happiness, and dissemination willingness will significantly increase. This viewpoint aligns with the results of Jin & Zhang’s study, suggesting a positive relationship between the process of meaning construction by museum visitors and their sense of happiness [ 81 ]. In other words, the "meaning-imbuing" capacity created by museum spaces and artifacts can interact and jointly influence visitors’ experiences, further impacting museum development and its cultural communication effectiveness.…”

Using travel blogs to explore the image of Romania as an emerging tourism destination

“…Since then, "the popularity of blogs has grown substantially over the past few years as advancements in communication technology have become more accessible, thereby enabling people to engage more easily in social commentaries" (Banyai & Glover 2012, p. 265). Over the last decade, many scholars have acknowledged the importance of travel blogs: they are considered rich and meaningful data sources which give insights, especially into tourists' perceptions, thoughts, and opinions (for examples, see in chronological order: Carson, 2008;Pühringer & Taylor, 2008;Wenger, 2008;Banyai, 2010;Banyai & Glover, 2012;Çakmak & Isaac, 2012;Ayeh et al, 2013;Jin et al 2020;Jin & Zhang, 2022).
