“…These extend beyond the chastely intellectual motives of cultural consumption and include more social and self-fulfilling desires, such as visiting cultural sites 'to relax' and have a 'good time with friends' (Kolar and Žabkar, 2010). Cultural travel can bolster identity and reinforce religious beliefs, expose unfamiliar ways of life, or offer something different and unusual (Collins-Kreiner, 2010;Zhang et al, 2016). Cultural motivation thus influences object-based and existential authenticity through its ability to deliver the 'push-or-pull' factors which stimulate travel (Zhou et al, 2013).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to develop and validate a scale for host sincerity. Design/methodology/approachThe 10-item host sincerity scale was developed by following a multi-stage scale development procedure (Delphi technique, qualitative interviews, and surveys). FindingsThe findings reveal that host sincerity is a second-order construct with two underlying dimensions: 'sincere social interaction' and 'sincere emotional response'. By incorporating host sincerity into the consumer-based model of authenticity, the findings established significant relationships among all constructs, confirming the predictive validity of the host sincerity construct. Research limitationsData was gathered from visitors to troglodyte heritage sites (Kandovan and Cappadocia). Future studies should test the newly formed sincerity scale at other cultural destinations in order to further explore the generalisability of the scale. Further, data was gathered from tourists. Future studies should consider host sincerity from a host perspective. Practical implicationsCultural destination managers and local hosts can use this instrument as a supplementary tool in order to evaluate how sincere their hospitality offering appears to tourists. Originality/valueThis paper develops a host sincerity scale in order to explore the importance of sincere hostguest interactions, and tourists' emotional response to these interactions. It extends the consumer-based model of authenticity by drawing further attention to the importance and impact of host sincerity in stimulating memorable tourism experiences.

“…Did then, the recapturing of Diana as a princess at the very moment she meets her death contribute to the "resurgence of moral vitality" as Stone (2009, p. 60) suggested? Again, one goes back to the issue of tourists' motivations and affective experiences (Miles, 2014;Gola nska, 2015;Zhang et al, 2016). The first Dismaland visitors were most likely surprised, perhaps even shocked, by the staging of Princess Diana's death in the guise of Cinderella.…”

Dystopian dark tourism: affective experiences in Dismaland

In dark tourism affects are generated in a relational manner by the tourists and the locations visited by them. Exploring affective meanings of Banksy's Dismaland via socio-spatial theories of emotion and affect is a way to contribute to the understanding of dystopian tourism. The dystopian touristic experience of Dismaland evolves from the interaction of a dystopian atmosphere, a displacement strategy and productive negative intensities. Whilst the affects produced vary according to the artist's intentions, through innovative and politicised forms of dystopian dark tourism, Banksy creates atmospheres where productive negative intensities are able to be developed. In spite of the shades of dystopia and darkness in the artist's work, a hopeful form of tourism could be generated. The implications are that affect in the dark tourism context has different layers of meaning where the materialising dystopian experiences, as simulacra, range from pure attraction to social change. Dismaland's dark tourism experience reveals the role that political and ethical matters play in socio-affective encounters as exemplified by the commodification of the tourism industry, the Mediterranean refugee crisis and the glorified/sorrowful death of Diana, princess of Wales.

“…尽管传统伦理道德忌讳公开谈论 "死亡" 和 "悲剧" ，但人们总是有意或无意地关注和寻找与死亡、灾难或悲剧相关的事件和景点 [1] 。随着现代社会对 "传统" 的解禁和反思，造访反人类罪行遗址地、自然灾害纪念地、已故名人安葬地等曾被认为是 "越轨" 的活动，已成为现代社会广泛存在的 "休闲活动 (Leisure Activity)" [2] 。据统计， 2016 年访问波兰奥斯维辛集中营的游客高达 205.3 万人次 1) ；而庞贝古城每年接待游客数量超过 250 万人次，成为意大利最受欢迎的旅游景点之一 2) 。为了识别这种 "到与死亡、灾难、悲剧等相关地方的参观游览" ，学术界提出了 "黑色旅游" (Dark Tourism)一词，并对其进行了持续深入的研究 [3,4] 。作为学术 "标签" (Label) ， "黑色旅游" 广受学界和大众关注，并在和平学、社会心理重构等相关理论框架建构和知识扩散中发挥了重要作用。近年来，相关研究成果不断涌现，黑色旅游研究正成为一个不断发展演进的知识领域 [5,6] [9][10][11] 。在旅游学界，越来越多的学者开始关注知识图谱，并对诸多分支领域的知识谱系进行了分析和刻画 [12][13][14][15]…”

In recent years, "dark tourism", defined as the act of travel to destinations historically associated with death and tragedy, has attracted extensive attention from scholars. A large number of relevant research literatures have emerged, highlighting a constantly evolving field of knowledge. Using the Web of Science Core Collection as the data source and the CiteSpace tool, this study mapped the current knowledge domain of international dark tourism research. The following results are derived: (1) The number of international dark tourism research articles shows a steadily increasing trend, with a large body of literature appearing after 2008; (2) The majority of papers were published in prestigious journals of tourism, such as Annals of Tourism Research and Tourism Management; (3) Most authors originate from Europe, America and East Asia, but these researchers seldom collaborate with each other; (4) Seventeen publications can be identified as the most influential in the development of the knowledge base and network evolution in this domain; (5) The studies focus primarily on the supply-side of dark tourism, while studies on demand-side are lacking. Through the analysis of both the development of international dark tourism and the present circumstances, this paper proposes that future developments in domestic dark tourism should center on the construction of the theoretical system, the innovation in research methods, as well as the communication and cooperation of researchers. The results of this review on international dark tourism research provide strategies to guide Chinese research and practice.
