Showing papers in "Annals of Tourism Research in 2016"

TL;DR: This article used a grounded theory approach based on 38 interviews with users of online consumer reviews (OCRs) and found that consumers primarily use cues related to message content and style and review extremity and valence to assess trustworthiness.

TL;DR: The authors explored the effect of sharing economy penetration at a macro-economic level and revealed both positive and negative effect of Airbnb on tourism employment in Idaho State, and collected 657 Airbnb houses and industry data of 44 counties of Idaho State.

TL;DR: This article evaluated bibliometric studies in tourism, depicts emerging themes, and offers critical discussions for theory development and future research, concluding that paucity still exists, particularly in relational bibliometrics in tourism.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the underlying dimensions of co-creation of an experience in the context of tourism and its effects on behavioral consequences such as tourists' satisfaction with the cocreation of the experience, subjective well-being, and loyalty to the service provider.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors draw on contemporary psychology to develop the destination content model, comprising three informational components held in individuals' minds about destinations, and further outline preferable methods and measures for each component, thus aiding researchers to investigate mental destination representations.

TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual study of the ontology of tourism is presented, which addresses the significant need for every mature field of knowledge to understand itself and the challenges and consequences that the knowledge system reveals for tourism and its research.

TL;DR: This article provided a quantitative assessment of tourism organizational resilience and compared organizational resilience within three tourism sub-sectors in a post-disaster context, and evaluated the resilience of tourism organizations.

TL;DR: This article found that respondents tend to respond in a socially desirable way, thus artificially inflating the occurrence of environmentally sustainable tourist behaviour by as much as 74 per cent, and that the variation is explained by defined tourist behaviour including intent to protect the environment and the use of either unprompted open-ended or prompted closed questions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the role of tourism development in reducing regional income inequality in China and proposed a spatiotemporal autoregressive model to capture spatial and temporal dependence as well as spatial heterogeneity.

TL;DR: In this article, the tourist gaze is reconceptualized as facilitated by smart phones and social media, with a focus on selfies, and tourists become the objects of the self-directed tourist gaze.

TL;DR: In this article, an economic model that builds on evidence that tourism involves the meeting of two populations is presented, which causes structural changes in individual preferences that affect residents' perceptions of tourism and tourists' willingness to pay.

TL;DR: The ability of 10 Google Analytics website traffic indicators from the Viennese DMO website to predict actual tourist arrivals to Vienna is investigated, and combined forecasts based on Bates–Granger weights, on forecast encompassing tests, and on a novel fusion of these two perform best.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of women owner-managers of small tourism firms (STFs) as social entrepreneurs is analyzed through a qualitative analysis of STF owners, and evidence of how women integrate social transformational and commercial goals in their business strategies, while serving defined communities around the tourism sector.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate spillover effects from sentiment and mood shocks on US outbound tourism demand from 1996 until 2013, using the Index of Consumer Sentiment and Economic Policy Uncertainty Index as proxies for sentiment and the S&P500 as a proxy for mood.

TL;DR: • Sharing economy start-ups and regulatory authorities have not aligned well with each other as mentioned in this paper, and they need to work together to improve the sharing economy startups' trustworthiness.

TL;DR: The authors argue that authenticity is not an empty concept, rather, like all fantasies authenticity does important work, particularly in tourism marketing and touristic motivation and experience, and that authenticity can be achieved, albeit only in the liminal moments of tourism experiences.

TL;DR: In this paper, the current and potential role of empathy in tourism encounters and tourism studies is explored, highlighting the importance of examining empathy's limitations and risks and arguing that important differences lay between an unquestioned or non-reflective empathy and a more "unsettled" empathy, which is reflective and renders possible a productive sense of shame.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an article in the journal "The Annals of Tourism Research" which is published in the year 2016: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.annals.2016.05.011

TL;DR: The authors found that acceptance of responsibility to be more sustainable depends on one's level of empathy with, and attachment to, sustainability, explained by a beneficiary focus (personal norms that drive one to act to help oneself or others) and a cultural focus (acting in response to individualistic or collectivistic social norms).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors re-theorize tourism from a practice-based perspective by introducing the notion of "tourism as practice" and advocate that tourism is a set of organizing practices wherein concepts such as "home" and "away" may not be seen as dualisms but as part of a plenum.

TL;DR: In this article, a price competitiveness index (PCI) is developed and used as a proxy for prices in a model of outbound tourism from Australia, and the results obtained show that PCI outperforms REX as the preferred price variable in modelling outbound demand on both theoretic and empirical grounds.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate processes of tourism-linked empowerment in four communities outside Cuzco, Peru and identify potential factors influencing these processes, pointing to practical ways community-based tourism can better foster generative rather than merely sustainable (i.e., zero-sum) forms of empowerment.

TL;DR: In this article, a system of simultaneous equations is estimated using the 3SLS method, distinguishing between tourism expenditure at the origin and at the destination, and the results for the case of Canary Islands show that the hypothesis holds for most tourist profiles, with savings-transfer ratios that range between 10.3% and 46.1%.

TL;DR: In this paper, a research model examining the antecedents and outcomes of online tourism information confusion faced by consumers has been proposed, which provides important managerial implications for online tourism marketers.
