    Psychological Antecedents of Intentions to Participate in Last Chance Tourism: Considering Complementary Theories
    SAGE Publications ; 2022

    Abstract: Last chance tourism (LCT) has received significant attention within the academic literature and popular press because of its controversial nature of bringing travelers to threatened places. However, little theory has been applied to understand why travelers gravitate toward this controversial type of tourism. Hence, this work combines the value–belief–norm (VBN) model and theory of planned behavior (TPB) framework to explain intentions to participate in LCT. Survey data were collected from a national panel ( n = 436) of US travelers in 2019. A two-step modeling approach (confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling) was followed to examine psychometrics and hypothesized relationships between VBN constructs, TPB constructs, and intentions to participate in LCT. Of the 11 hypotheses examined, nine were supported, with both theories combining to explain 61% of the variance in travelers’ intentions. The TPB construct of “social norms” was the best predictor of LCT intentions, emphasizing the conspicuous nature of LCT’s influence on demand.

    Modeling Residents’ Attitudes toward Short-term Vacation Rentals
    SAGE Publications ; 2020
    In:  Journal of Travel Research Vol. 59, No. 6 ( 2020-07), p. 955-974
    Details
    In: Journal of Travel Research, SAGE Publications, Vol. 59, No. 6 ( 2020-07), p. 955-974
    Abstract: Researchers have recently begun to explore residents’ perceptions of short-term vacation rental (STVR) from both qualitative and quantitative approaches, but there is still a need for strong theoretical underpinnings to support this growing body of research. This study addresses this gap through applying a theoretical perspective that combines Social Exchange Theory and Weber’s Theory of Formal and Substantive Rationality to assess residents’ attitudes toward STVRs in the US city of Savannah, Georgia. Results from 384 resident surveys revealed that support for STVRs was a function of both the costs and benefits associated with STVRs, as well as perceived social and psychological empowerment from STVR development. These findings highlight the need for regulatory approaches that ensure STVRs do not infringe on residents’ sense of community and that STVR activity reflects the values and norms of residents so that STVR visits induce resident’ pride in their neighborhoods.

    Going Global or Going Local? Why Travelers Choose Franchise and Independent Accommodations

    In: Journal of Travel Research, SAGE Publications, Vol. 60, No. 2 ( 2021-02), p. 354-369
    Abstract: While there is agreement over the pivotal role accommodations have in the tourist experience, little is known about why tourists gravitate toward franchise or independent accommodations. This article compares US tourists’ perceptions of the performance of franchise and independent accommodations on a range of functional, experiential, and symbolic attributes, and subsequently tests to see if there are separate reasons for why tourists choose the two lodging options and share word of mouth (WOM) and electronic WOM (e-WOM). Results reveal that franchise accommodations consistently outperform independent accommodations on “Service Quality” and “Utilitarian Quality.” However, independent accommodations were found to outperform franchise accommodations in “Experiential Quality” and “Symbolic Quality.” Modeling results reveal tourists choose the two accommodation options for separate reasons with Service Quality being important to both, but with Symbolic Quality also being important to choosing independent accommodations. Likelihood to share WOM and e-WOM were more a function of Experiential Quality and Symbolic Quality than Service Quality for both lodging types.

    Animosity, Social Return, and Intent to Travel: Social Return’s Dissipating Influence Over Animosity
    SAGE Publications ; 2023
    In:  Journal of Travel Research
    Details
    In: Journal of Travel Research, SAGE Publications
    Abstract: While many have noted how country-level animosity negatively influences destination choice, little is known about factors that may dissipate animosity’s pervasive influence over destination choice. This paper uses Cognitive Dissonance Theory as the theoretical backing to investigate how social return, a consonant cognition focused on the anticipated positive responses from posting travel photos on social media, mediates the negative influence of animosity, a dissonant cognition, has on intent to travel. One thousand six hundred fifty-three respondents from the United States’ top five international markets (Canada, China, Japan, Mexico, and the U.K.) were surveyed with results showing social return partially mediating the relationship between animosity and intent to travel. These findings suggest target markets with high levels of animosity should not be entirely abandoned because there are psychological mechanisms to help dissipate or alleviate the negative effects of animosity.

    Resident Empowerment and Support for Gaming Tourism: Comparisons of Resident Attitudes Pre- and Amid-Covid-19 Pandemic
    SAGE Publications ; 2022
    In:  Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Research
    Details
    In: Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Research, SAGE Publications
    Abstract: Grounded in Weber’s theory of formal and substantive rationality, this study aims to examine the influences of economic and noneconomic factors, namely resident empowerment and trust, on resident support for gaming tourism, a controversial type of tourism development. In particular, with data collected before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, the study also examines how resident perceptions of economic and noneconomic benefits of tourism have changed as a result of the pandemic. Findings show that perceived economic benefits and trust in government were significant determinants before and during the pandemic; however, the effects of empowerment seem to be mixed, depending on how controversial gaming tourism was at the time of data collection. Results suggest gaming tourism is viewed more critically during periods of high volume and that when gaming tourism dries up, residents start to become more supportive and to see the economic and noneconomic benefits in a different light.

    Resident Perceptions of the Economic Benefits of Tourism: Toward a Common Measure
    SAGE Publications ; 2018
    In:  Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Research Vol. 42, No. 8 ( 2018-11), p. 1295-1314

    In: Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Research, SAGE Publications, Vol. 42, No. 8 ( 2018-11), p. 1295-1314
    Abstract: At the core of the resident attitude literature is the general understanding that the more residents economically benefit from tourism, the more they support tourism. While a central tenet, previous research has measured resident perceptions of economically benefiting from tourism somewhat haphazardly, using four disparate directions without a common cross-culturally reliable and valid scale. To bring clarity to the literature, this study develops and presents the Economic Benefit from Tourism Scale as a reliable and valid measure for the resident attitude literature to embrace. The scale’s development follows Churchill’s recommendations and uses three separate data collections across the United States of America and Poland to purify the scale and demonstrate its validity within an international context. Both samples prove the scale to be construct valid with maximum weight alphas in the .85 to .90 range, standard factor loadings all above 0.60, and average variance extracted estimates between 57% and 69%.

    Competitive synergy through practicing triple bottom line sustainability: Evidence from three hospitality case studies

    In: Tourism and Hospitality Research, SAGE Publications, Vol. 13, No. 4 ( 2013-10), p. 226-238
    Abstract: This study advances the discussion of sustainability within the hospitality literature through the introduction of the concept of triple bottom line (TBL) sustainability and the potential synergistic benefits to competitiveness hospitality firms can achieve from practicing it. TBL sustainability transitions a firm’s attention away from solely focusing on short-term profits to a concentration on the firm’s long-term environmental, social, and economic performance. The study suggests that this transition to practicing TBL sustainability can result in “competitive synergy” for hospitality firms. The term “competitive synergy” is used to describe the phenomenon of when the anticipated benefits (e.g. reduced energy costs) from focusing on sustainability coalesce with the unanticipated benefits (e.g. increased employee job satisfaction) to make hospitality firms more competitive. One interviewee describes this synergy as a “resonant harmonic” because of the multiple benefits gained that were not part of the original motivations for engaging in sustainability. In an attempt to demonstrate industry examples of competitive synergy, three hospitality case studies practicing TBL sustainability are presented. These cases studies range from a small boutique hotel in Floyd, VA (Hotel Floyd), to a Caribbean resort in the Dominican Republic (Puntacana), and even to one of the world’s largest hotel groups (InterContinental). Findings from the interviews highlight the many tangential benefits discovered from implementing sustainable initiatives aimed at environmental, social, and economic sustainability.

    Abstract: Geotourism is tourism that sustains or enhances the geographical character of a place, including its environment, culture, aesthetics, heritage, and the well-being of its residents. The purpose of this study was to develop and test a scale measuring geotraveler tendencies (GTS). The GTS consists of 35 items across eight subscales measuring both attitudes and behaviors of travelers. Confirmatory factor analysis tested each scale for construct validity, convergent validity, discriminant validity, and nomological validity, and demonstrated that all eight scales of the GTS were valid and reliable measures of the dimensions of geotourism. Standardized factor loadings ranged from .52 to .92 and construct reliability scores ranged from .72 to .94 for the eight attitudinal and behavioral scales. For destinations interested in promoting geotourism, the GTS provides a tool to determine if visitors traveling to their area embrace geotourism values of sustaining and enhancing the geographical character of place.

    Predictors of Intention to Travel to Cuba across Three Time Horizons: An Application of the Theory of Planned Behavior

    Abstract: As the relationship between Cuba and the United States evolves, many Americans are entertaining the idea of travel to Cuba. This study used the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to examine predictors of US residents’ intentions to travel to Cuba across three time horizons: 1 year, 5 years, and 10 years. TPB constructs were administered to a cross-sectional panel of US residents. Results varied by time horizon, with US residents’ negative attitudes toward Cuba having a positive and significant influence on their intention to visit Cuba within one year. This finding suggests that some US residents match Plog’s Allocentric profile of tourists and that the current “rough edges” of Cuba are what attract them to travel in the short rather than long term. Findings from this study provide baseline data that is valuable for Cuban and American tourism organizations, should the US market become more accessible.
