“…While ethnocentrism has received little attention in a tourism context, it has important implications for tourism behaviors. Indeed, Kock, Josiassen, Assaf, Karpen, and Farrelly (2019, pp. 427-28) found a link between tourism ethnocentrism (defined as “an individual's prescriptive beliefs and felt moral obligation to support the domestic tourism economy”) and willingness to engage in domestic tourism and support for tourism development.…”

“…This measure has been confirmed in various seminal disease-related studies as a proxy for a perceived pathogen threat, and thus activation of the behavioral immune system. We adopted the measures of tourist xenophobia ( Kock, Josiassen, & Assaf, 2019 ) and tourism ethnocentrism ( Kock et al, 2019 ). In a pre-study, we had also included tourism xenophilia ( Nørfelt et al, 2019 ) but decided to drop it due to the high shared covariance with xenophobia.…”

Studies across the social sciences are making increasing use of an evolutionary perspective. Yet, despite its potential, the application of evolutionary psychology in tourism research is scant. Evolutionary psychology is arguably one of the most useful approaches to understanding the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic on the tourist's psyche. This research highlights, explains, and empirically demonstrates the vast untapped potential of this perspective for post-COVID-19 tourism research. The authors develop an Evolutionary Tourism Paradigm , which is based on biological epistemology and theory to address questions in post-COVID-19 tourism research. This paradigm is brought to life through a developed ocean and islands model, and its utility for future research endeavors on the Coronavirus pandemic is empirically demonstrated in two studies.

The Influence of Islamic Religiosity on the Perceived Socio-Cultural Impact of Sustainable Tourism Development in Pakistan: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach

et al. 2019

Typically, residents play a role in developing strategies and innovations in tourism. However, few studies have sought to understand the role of Islamic religiosity on the perceived socio-cultural impacts of sustainable tourism development in Pakistan. Previous studies focusing on socio-cultural impacts as perceived by local communities have applied various techniques to explain the relationships between selected variables. Circumstantially, the structural equation modeling (SEM) technique has gained little attention for measuring the religiosity factors affecting the perceived socio-cultural impacts of sustainable tourism. This investigation aims to address such limitations in this area of scientific knowledge by applying Smart PLS-SEM, developing an empirical approach, and implementing Smart-PLS software V-3.2.8. The proposed tourism model predicts the effects of the religiosity level on the perceived socio-cultural impacts of sustainable tourism development. In this study, we examine the relationships among religious commitments, religious practice, and religious belief and the socio-cultural effects of sustainable tourism. Our research identifies influential factors through an extensive literature review on communities’ religiosity and the socio-cultural impacts of developing sustainable tourism. We examine and analyze data based on 508 residents’ responses. The findings reveal an R² value of 0.841, suggesting three exogenous latent constructs, which collectively elucidate 84.10% of the variance in the perceived socio-cultural impact of sustainable tourism. The findings reveal that religious respondents with a higher religiosity level have a positive attitude towards developing sustainable tourism. These findings are helpful to understand the dynamics of communities’ perceptions, behaviors, quality of life, cultural aspects, and religiosity factors affecting sustainable tourism in Pakistan. This study is novel in the context of Pakistani cultural and social norms, and this study’s implications may provide further direction for researching and developing sustainable tourism in the northern regions of Pakistan.

“…First, tourism crisis research should consider the emotional and cognitive impacts of crises on tourists beyond risk perception theorising. Such acknowledgement should be shared by destination planners who need to adapt their marketing campaigns and destination branding efforts in acknowledgement of the needs and motives of various tourist segments including risk-sensitive and risk-taking travellers; thereby, identifying those segments that may be more appropriate for recovering destinations such as domestic tourists ( Kock et al, 2019 ). Second, given the complexity characterising post-crisis travel behaviour, studies could look beyond travel resumption behaviour into travel group composition, group size and expenditure data whilst employing appropriate theories for revealing non-linear relations ( Zenker & Kock, 2020 ).…”

Memory and forgetfulness in tourism crisis research

Even though academic attention has been paid on the tourism-memory nexus, the concept of forgetfulness in tourism has been largely overlooked and remains unexplored. The aim of this research note is to introduce the concept of forgetfulness alongside memory within tourism scholarship to discuss the way in which it may be integrated with future research. In so doing, the discussion focused on a tourist crisis context as tourists’ post-crisis behaviour often reflects forgetfulness as evidenced by their travel resumption patterns. Overall, by linking the concepts of forgetfulness and tourism, this research note contributes to knowledge advancement on tourism crises by shifting attention away from risk perceptions towards an understanding of the cognitive and emotional processes influencing tourist behaviour. The research note also illuminates understanding of how crises are forgotten; hence, contributes to the improvement of crisis management strategies. The research note concludes by proposing an agenda for future research.
