Fostering engagement: How gamification affordances shape tourists’ repatronage through self-enhancement and self-transcendence

Online travel agencies (OTAs) have increasingly been embedding game design elements into their digital platforms. Yet the effectiveness of gamification and the mechanisms linking these gamification affordances to tourists’ repatronage remain underexplored in the literature. This study draws on self-determination theory and social presence theory to examine how gamification affordances (autonomy support, self-expressi

Gaze on wheels: Dynamic perception and configurational analysis of destination image based on tourist-generated photos

Cycling tourism exposes tourists to continuous visual variation as they move through a destination, yet how this variation shapes destination image remains underexplored. Drawing on time-ordered tourist-generated photos, this study examines how visual variation shapes cycling tourists’ dynamic perception of destination image and identifies the configurational pathways through which affective image is formed. The resu

Conceptualization and validation of place meaning in industrial heritage tourism destination: Q methodology and spatial analysis

Understanding how tourists construct place meaning is critical, yet existing research has largely treated place meaning as spatially uniform and analytically detached from destination environments. Hence, this study aimed to distinguish place-related concepts and to investigate the dimensions and spatial distribution of place meaning within industrial tourism. This study adopted a multi-method approach. Empirical dat

EXPRESS: The job embeddedness nomological network in tourism: A meta-analysis of antecedents, outcomes, and boundary conditions

Recent systematic reviews show that one in five job embeddedness studies were conducted in hospitality settings. This meta-analysis offers the first quantitative synthesis of job embeddedness in hospitality. Integrating 120 studies (N = 44,091), this study maps the antecedents, outcomes, and boundary conditions that explain how job embeddedness develops and what it yields in hospitality contexts. The results indicate

Idiosyncratic influences of hotel occupancy on energy consumption: Moderating effects of service style, hotel size, and hotel class

With the growing attention to sustainability and energy management, understanding the dynamics of energy consumption in hotels has become increasingly important. We confirm that the utility expenses (e.g., electricity and water expenses) of a hotel generally follow a logarithmic increase with occupancy. A hotel’s energy consumption rises rapidly when occupancy is relatively low but increases gradually once occupancy
