New realities: a systematic literature review on virtual reality and augmented reality in tourism research

The purpose of this article is to analyze the effect of hotel innovations on firm value. Specifically, this study fills a research gap in the previous literature by examining this effect through market value and by distinguishing the potentially different impacts of distinct innovation types: product, process, organization and marketing. This research contributes to consolidating the empirical evidence of hotel innovation and performance by analyzing whether distinct types of innovation lead to different levels of results. The findings show that innovations are perceived to have a positive impact on the future sales of the company: in a four-day period (0,+3), there is an increase in stock exchange returns of 1.53%. In terms of innovation types, process and marketing innovations are found to have a higher positive effect on hotel market value than product and organization innovations; which is explained by potential cost differences among innovations.

The effect of innovation on hotel market value [Summary]

Knowledge agents as drivers of environmental sustainability and business performance in the hospitality sector

Innovativeness in companies in the tourism sector can reasonably be considered to be one of the most important factors of performance. This paper highlights the importance of two determinants of tourism firms’ innovativeness – namely, market and entrepreneurial orientation – focusing on the tourism sector. A conceptual model was developed and empirically tested based on 91 Slovenian tourism SMEs. The results of the study reveal the positive impact of a market and entrepreneurial orientation on innovativeness, the positive relationship of innovativeness with firm performance, and the importance of antecedents of innovativeness and their impacts on performance. Thus, tourism firms should be encouraged to introduce more entrepreneurial and marketing activities to increase innovativeness, which fosters better firm performance. On this basis, a greater competitive advantage can be reached.

Facial attractiveness and stereotypes of hotel guests: An experimental research

Th e aim of this paper is to present the benefi ts and problems when introducing e-learning in study processes, to present and analyse several dimensions of students’ satisfaction with online learning and to contribute to a clear overview of this topic. Many academics in the fi elds of tourism are not very favourable disposed to introduce online learning into their courses and modules. With this paper we would like to encourage them, as students are mostly satisfi ed with the use of virtual environment for their lessons. Th e primary question is ‘‘what are the factors that infl uence the students’ satisfaction with learning in the online environment?’’ In this study, the explored factors were (1) Personality of students, (2) E-learning properties, and (3) E-classroom properties. A survey methodology was used and validated items from previous relevant research work were adopted. First, the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed, and second the results of the EFA were confi rmed by CFA, using a structural equation modelling. We empirically developed and tested a new model, which identifi es predictors of students’ satisfaction with online learning. Th ese results signify a valuable feedback to institutions off ering online classes and to educators evaluating satisfaction of their students and help them to planning to off er an effi cient and fl exible online education courses. Identifying the most relevant factors of students’ satisfaction entails important issues for educators.

Traditional music in tourists’ eyes – the case of Slovene Istria

The article focuses on work motivation of Slovenian front-line employees working in tourism. The motivation is analyzed using a Herzberg’s Two Factor Theory of work motivation, which is based on two factor groups of work motivation – growth factors that motivate, and hygiene factors that do not motivate, yet their absence causes work dissatisfaction. The empirical research results indicated that growth factors (e.g. recognition and responsibility) have a major impact on work motivation, while hygiene factors (e.g. salary) did not show statistically significant impact. The findings of the research could be useful for management in tourism industry, who should give more attention to growth factors or strengthen their meaning by increasing front-line employees’ responsibilities, recognition, enabling additional trainings and giving adequate information as these factor have a pivotal meaning for employees’ work motivation.
