“…This is in line with previous studies' definition of mindfulness, which generally refers to a state of mind which allows to actively process available information within the surrounding environment (Frauman & Norman, 2004) as both, a state of mind and response to surrounding environments (Langer & Moldoveanu, 2000). Mindfulness has generally been positively related to superior tourist experiences in previous studies (Chan, 2019;Frauman & Norman, 2004;Van Winkle & Backman, 2008;Taylor & Norman, 2019). From the interviews it results that, when one isn't distracted by mobile devices, one can "focus more on the surroundings" and this is what drove respondents to opt for DFT.…”

“…In the field of parks, recreation, and tourism, this measure of mindfulness has become particularly notable, given that it was a measure of mindfulness specific to this field. Subsequently, research has been conducted using the same type of measurement of mindfulness at various sites of interest (Barber & Deale, 2014;Frauman & Norman, 2003, 2004Ganesan et al, 2014;Taylor & Norman, 2019;Van Winkle & Backman, 2008;Ying et al, 2020). Moscardo (1992) created a measure of mindfulness on-site to explore mindfulness in museum settings.…”

Socio-cognitive mindfulness has been applied extensively in recreation, parks, and tourism research. Moscardo first applied Langer’s conception of mindfulness in the field and devised a mindfulness measure that has been subsequently used over the past three decades. This research note describes how this mindfulness measure has been employed in applied research in recreation, parks, and tourism. Other measures of mindfulness as a state of consciousness used in this field and information about scales to measure dispositional mindfulness are likewise addressed. Suggested future use and exploration of Moscardo’s mindfulness measure are also described.

“…The topic of mindfulness has become an increasingly popular research domain over its 30+ year history (Dutt and Ninov, 2015, 2016; Taylor and Norman, 2019), with increasing consideration in tourism literature covering museums (Moscardo, 1991; Ying et al , 2020), heritage centres and visitors (Tan et al , 2019), national parks (Frauman and Norman, 2003, 2004), to whole destinations (Dutt and Ninov, 2015, 2016; Moscardo, 1996). Mindfulness is a state in which individuals can be encouraged to remember and understand their experiences more while encouraging greater satisfaction (Dutt and Ninov, 2015, 2016; Moscardo, 1991, 1996, 2009; Rubin et al , 2016; Tan et al , 2019).…”

Purpose Airlines play a significant role in the international tourism system, yet research on airlines, notably air crew, is scant. Given the frequency with which air crew travel to destinations, understanding of their memories and experiences can have significant insights for destination marketing and management. Destination marketers could look at using air crew as marketing mediums or as potential customers. This study aims to understand the memories and experiences of air crew in destinations and the factors that influence them. Design/methodology/approach A mixed methods survey was designed and distributed to 236 air crew of a Middle Eastern airline to explore what they remembered of destinations they visited what helped and hindered their ability to remember. The survey also assessed participants self-reported degree of mindfulness. Findings Results suggested that air crew determined themselves as mindful and had strong memories of the destination. Several notable hindrances were reported relating to their job; fatigue, short layovers and number of flights. Research limitations/implications The main limitation of the study is the relatively limited depth with which participants described their experiences. The results from the study add insight to tourism businesses and governments for considering air crew or leveraging air crew as marketing mediums. The generalisability and applicability of mindfulness in other contexts have been offered. Originality/value Little research has explored the experiences or memories of air crew nor the relation of mindfulness to service providers. This research is among the first to address this gap to add theoretical and practical insight to this area.
