“…In most cases, the views of difficult trails are due to exhaustion and rest deficiency. Perhaps, senior visitors or visitors with disabilities are more helpless in this situation given their physical health conditions (Tao, Goh & Huang, 2019;Wen, Yu, Huang & Goh, 2020). Therefore, walkers may grow into desperation and choose to accelerate their outdoor expedition by swaying from the designated pathways in pursuit of unconventional 'easier' trails.…”

This study extended the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to embrace the pro-environmental construct in predicting visitor off-trail behavioral intentions at national parks. Quantitative questionnaire items were developed through an elicitation study and empirically tested among 325 respondents. Empirical results revealed overall predictive variance of 21.7 percent (R 2) in predicting visitor off-trail intentions. Behavioral beliefs predicted most of behavioral intentions followed by normative beliefs. The contribution of control beliefs and proenvironmental values had the weakest predictive power. Among the behavioral beliefs, visitors had the strongest belief that walking off the trails would lead to a shorter route. Friends as a reference group were the strongest normative belief that influenced off-trail intentions. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

“…Given the applicability of constraints to travel behavior, several studies have applied constraint models to tourism (e.g., Gao & Kerstetter, 2016;Hung & Petrick, 2010;Kazeminia, Del Chiappa, & Jafari, 2015). The efficacy of the HCM, as the most widely used model of its kind, has been tested in numerous tourism settings including cruise tourism (Hung & Petrick, 2010), nature-oriented tourism (Fredman & Heberlein, 2005;Nyaupane & Andereck, 2008), event tourism (Kim & Chalip, 2004), dark tourism (Zhang, Yang, Zheng, & Zhang, 2016), and with travelers with disabilities (Tao, Goh & Huang, 2019).…”

PurposeThe relationship between sex and tourism remains ambiguous in the tourism literature. Few studies have examined the underlying motivations behind sex-driven travel, and little is known about factors inhibiting tourists' procurement of commercial sex when traveling. Therefore, this study explored male Chinese tourists' perceived constraints during decision-making and developed a comprehensive scale to assess constraints to commercial sex consumption overseas.Design/methodology/approachData were obtained from male Chinese tourists purchasing commercial sex while traveling overseas. This study involved a four-stage process as recommended by Churchill (1979) for scale development research. In Stage 1, preliminary items were generated through a comprehensive review of the constraints literature and in-depth interviews with 16 sex tourists, which generated an initial 26 items. During the second stage to purify the measurement items, six items were eliminated, resulting in 20 items. Stage 3 involved exploratory factor analysis (N = 275) to extract the scale's underlying factor structure. Results revealed a five-factor structure with sufficient evidence of internal reliability given Cronbach's alpha coefficients between 0.722 and 0.843. The final stage included confirmatory factor analysis (N = 259) to verify the scale's reliability and validity.FindingsUltimately, 20 items were developed to measure sex tourists' perceived constraints toward engaging in commercial sex services overseas based on five factors: structural constraints, intrapersonal constraints, interpersonal constraints, value conflicts and service supply–related constraints.Originality/valueThis study advances the scope of sex tourism research by verifying how these five constraints are independent, generalized and can influence the procurement of sexual services overseas. This study is the first in sex tourism research to explore the difficulties facing sex tourists. Results offer marketers important insight on how to better address these constraints while providing a safe and legal sex tourism experience.

“…Previous studies by [26,27] show that travelers with disabilities evaluate sites according to a different set of criteria, including a number of independent and overlapping factors that are not present for their counterparts without disabilities. Experiences for these kinds of consumers may also be influenced by the opinions of third parties such as caregivers and companions [28]. The result of the experience may be satisfactory or unsatisfactory and will affect the customer's behavior, generating memories that will determine their loyalty or degree of recommendation [29].…”

“…However, they can try to know their visitors, and design and manage interaction points to influence perceptions, thus increasing interest, involvement, satisfaction, loyalty, and support [35]. Indeed [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] all point out the importance of identifying environments that produce different touchpoints and generate customer experience.…”

In the field of cultural tourism, museums have been pioneers in focusing on visitors with disabilities. They have used inclusive orientation to offer the kind of memorable and satisfying experiences that are so beneficial to a group at constant risk of social exclusion. Their task is made more difficult, however, by visitors’ perception of barriers to inclusion, and identification therefore becomes a priority at the strategic level. Based on this idea, the present study analyzes experiences from two tours of the CosmoCaixa Barcelona museum by 32 people with disabilities (PwD). The use of ethnographic techniques and post-experience interviews shows how, despite the legal framework in relation to people with disabilities, hospitality managers find it difficult to put this framework into practice and cater to the needs of this segment of the population. Two factors become particularly clear: the difficulties experienced by museum staff in identifying people with disability, and museum managers’ lack of training and knowledge of the wants and needs of people with disabilities. Academic and strategic recommendations for museum managers are provided at the end of the article.
