Tourism Analysis (TA) Peer Review Policy
Tourism Analysis (TA) employs a double blind review process.
Submitted manuscripts are reviewed by the editorial office for format, content requirements, and authors contact information. The editor-in-chief (EIC) then reviews the manuscript for its methodology, grammar, and language use and decides whether it deserves to move to the next level. If the manuscript is found to not meet minimum quality standards the EIC will desk-reject the manuscript.
If the manuscript is written following TA guidelines and meets minimum standards, the EIC invites four to five reviewers from a mixture of the review board members, past reviewers within the database, or new recruits depending upon the need of the expertise area. Typically, the reviewers are given four to nine weeks to review the manuscript and provide feedback.
The EIC needs at least two reports by the reviewers to make a preliminary judgement regarding the manuscript: accept, revise per review comments and resubmit, or reject. Manuscripts can go through several rounds of review based on needed revisions and report of the reviewers. The EIC can ask for additional work (e.g., language, cross-referencing of citations, adjustments to tables and figures) to be done before final acceptance.
If a manuscript is deemed to be a significant work but has not met the requirements to be published as a full article, the EIC can ask the authors to resubmit their work as a Research Note after revisions have been made per reviewer comments. The same reviewers may be recruited again to review the research note on a more lenient basis.
Invited manuscripts do not go through a rigorous peer review process but one or two reviewers are still recruited to help the submitting author make needed adjustments to enhance the manuscript.
As a reviewer for Tourism Analysis you can take advantage of the following incentive:
If you review three papers for one of the Cognizant journals (Tourism Review International, Tourism Analysis, Event Management, Tourism Culture and Communication, Tourism in Marine Environments, and Gastronomy and Tourism) within a one-year period, you will qualify for a free OPEN ACCESS article in one of the above journals.

Delighting consumers has been one of the most important goals for marketing stakeholders but the effect of historical nostalgia on tourists’ delight at the world cultural heritage sites has rarely been examined. This study examines the impact of historical nostalgia on the heritage tourists’ delight, their satisfaction, and destination loyalty intention. The survey for the study was conducted at the world cultural heritage site of Mahabalipuram, India. The hypotheses were tested through the structural equation modeling technique. The results indicated positive and significant effect of historical nostalgia on tourists’ delight, satisfaction, and destination loyalty intention. The study makes contribution to the tourism studies by examining the role of historical nostalgia in delighting the tourists at the cultural heritage sites and instructs the managers to evoke such experiences to keep the heritage tourists delighted and thereby enhance their loyalty.
Key words: Historical nostalgia; Tourists’ delight; Satisfaction; Destination loyalty intention

Sharing photos on social media has become a vital tourist behavior during a journey. However, gratifications behind such sharing in tourists’ minds is not yet fully clarified in tourism literature. Therefore, based on uses and gratifications (U&G) theory, this study develops and validates a scale measuring gratifications of travel photo sharing (GTPS) on social media. In Study 1, we conducted an exploratory factor analysis with responses from 200 tourists (47.50% individualistic culture and 52.50% collectivistic culture). In Study 2, we implemented confirmatory factor analysis with responses from 300 tourists (100% collectivistic culture). In Study 3, using samples from 200 tourists (50% individualistic culture and 50% collectivistic culture), we examined the relationships between GTPS dimensions and mobile phone involvement. Finally, we developed a 13-item GTPS with four dimensions: social attraction, mental accomplishment, self-disclosure, and habitual pastime.

Despite research on predicting tourist behavioral intention, the existing research lacks a holistic understanding of the interrelationships among the determinants (i.e., a continuous mechanism from pretrip to posttrip). This article develops an integrated model to test the effects of motivation (pretrip), tourist activity participation and perceived value (on-site), and satisfaction (posttrip) on behavioral intention to help explain this mechanism. This article first establishes a five-factor structure of motivation and then examines the causal relationships among research constructs using structural equation modeling (SEM). Results show that motivation directly and significantly affects all other constructs and has strong total effects on satisfaction and behavioral intention. Tourist activity participation predicts satisfaction but not the behavioral intention. The relationships among perceived value, satisfaction, and behavioral intention are consistent with the literature. Regarding the total effects on behavioral intention, satisfaction is the strongest predictor, followed by perceived value and motivation. Also, this study is among only a few attempts to explore the Canadian domestic tourism market and provides marketing insights into destination marketing organizations (DMOs).

The present study investigates the role of international tourist arrivals, structural change, consumption of energy, international trade, and economic growth on CO2 emissions in Pakistan over a period of 1980–2017. The study employed ARDL model, which revealed that there is a strong positive long-run association between CO2 emission and its determinants except for structural changes and trade that have no significant impact on CO2 emissions. Results reveal that tourism activities in Pakistan are environment friendly and it can add to preserve the scenic areas and major visitors’ spots in the country to attract more visitors to increase the revenue of the country. The study further applied Granger causality test and ratifies unidirectional causality from structural change, international tourist arrivals, and consumption of energy towards CO2 except from international trade. Moreover, this study employed DOLS technique to get long-run robust estimates.

This study uses as a case the dilapidated neighborhood of Lakkos in the city of Heraklion, Crete, Greece, to broaden the conventional view of traveling artists, as creative producers of artistic spaces with tourism potential. Through the use of secondary sources, observations, and asynchronous in-depth email interviewing having as a sample 24 traveling artists who voluntary devote their time and effort to an art project outside their original countries, this study found that the traveling artists under study place emphasis on long-term travel schedules that allow them to perform three roles while visiting Lakkos: those of tourists, artists, and volunteers. These attributes distinguish them not only from mainstream tourists visiting the city of Heaklion and the island of Crete, but also from cultural, art, and creative tourists. The findings of the study are discussed in relation to the methodology of asynchronous email interviewing and the findings of past research.

This article deals with willingness to pay (WTP) for nature as a public good. The study addresses the relationships between motivation for nature-based experiences, environmental engagement, involvement with nature experiences, relationship with nature, preferred degree of adaptation of nature and consumers’ WTP. The aim was to identify factors that influence WTP for nature-based tourist experiences. The study relies on quantitative survey data from 1,634 respondents in Norway. The data were analyzed using SPSS. WTP varies according to factors such as escape, recognition, active achievement, esthetics, social and environmental concern, preference for adaptation, and type of natural surroundings. Tourists who place importance on, for example, peer recognition and escape, have a higher WTP for nature that is not overcrowded and with little or no adaptation for tourism purposes. The article discusses practical issues such as how WTP should affect management decisions about the pricing of nature tourism, and presents the theoretical and practical implications of the results.
Key words: Willingness to pay; Nature-based tourist experiences; Access; Sustainable tourism development
Sensing, Seizing, and Reconfiguring: Understanding Wine Tourism Development in Emerging Economies Through the Dynamic Capabilities Approach – 333

In exploring three wine regions located in emerging economies through the lens of the dynamic capabilities framework, this study contributes theoretically and empirically to the wine tourism and wine entrepreneurship literature. Unstructured, face-to-face interviews conducted among 32 Argentinian and Chilean wineries revealed the effects of and the potential to be gained from infrastructure, socioeconomic, and visitor demographic changes. Moreover, sensing and seizing upon potential opportunities was strongly associated with the above changes. More importantly, preparing for the future through reconfiguration or continuous renewal was illustrated—for instance, through a desire for highly personalized winery experiences. With the increasing globalization of the wine industry and resulting wine tourism alternatives/substitutes, developing dynamic capabilities becomes crucial for the sustainability of wineries and wine regions. A proposed model based on the research enables understanding and appreciating opportunities and challenges in a dynamic wine tourism environment.

In this study, the researchers explore the antecedents of tourists’ intention to recommend a destination using an extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Two personal values (i.e., prosocial and maturity) and two personality traits (i.e., extraversion and agreeableness), which are rarely studied but important elements for marketers to better understand the market (e.g., segment the market), are examined. To test the extended model of TPB, a survey (n = 312) was conducted with tourists in Portugal. The researchers find support for the hypothesis that tourists with higher prosocial values, maturity values, and extraversion personality traits are more likely to have a favorable attitude toward a destination and a tendency to recommend the destination. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.

This study aims to examine the relationships between souvenir authenticity and its antecedents, as well as its consequences, using a consumer-based model of authenticity. A quantitative survey was conducted with tourists visiting Macao, and a valid sample of 275 tourists was used for data analysis. Empirical results indicate that there is a positive relationship between souvenir authenticity and its antecedents, namely souvenir-purchasing motivations. In addition, souvenir authenticity is positively related to its consequences, including existential authenticity, cultural destination image, and destination loyalty. While the results lend support to the consumer-based model of authenticity in the context of souvenirs, the findings also offer some practical implications for souvenir retailers as well as destination marketers.

The effects of stock market wealth and housing wealth on the demand for outbound tourism by the residents of Singapore, while controlling for other important determinants for outbound tourism, are investigated. From the empirical results, the author concludes that there is weak evidence to support the presence of stock market wealth effect and strong evidence to support the presence of housing wealth effect on outbound tourism. Weak evidence of stock market wealth effect is observed because the model derived from Akaikeinformation criterion does not find significant effect of stock market wealth, but the model derived from Schwartz criterion shows that positive stock market wealth effect is present. Strong evidence of housing wealth effect is observed because the models estimated with both criteria show that housing wealth has negative effect on such consumption. The importance of the government intervention in the public housing of Singapore that leads to such negative housing wealth effect is explained in the conclusion.

Researchers have identified the impact of crime rates on tourism development, and in this study we intend to look into the possible social causes behind those impacts. In this pursuit, we analyze the moderating role of social determinants of crime in shaping the association between tourism development and governance for 30 Asia-Pacific countries over 1990–2017. In methodological terms, we have employed principal component analysis (PCA) for index building and generalized method of moments (GMM) for the estimation of long run elasticities. Using PCA, we have built separate indices for tourism development and social indicators. Results of GMM indicate that incidents of unemployment and increase in refugee population can diminish the positive impact of education on the association between tourism development and governance. The policymakers need to focus more on capacity building and job creation for internalizing the social imbalances, which might hamper the governance quality for fostering the development of the tourism sector.

Airbnb Plus is an upscale lodging service offered by the Airbnb platform. The Airbnb Plus business has become a noteworthy marketing phenomenon and the customer behavior of Airbnb Plus necessitates academic attention. Drawing on the theory of planned behavior, a conceptual model is established and tested to provide insights into the consumer’s motivation and intention to adopt an upscale marketing offering of the accommodation sharing economy system. A total of 342 valid responses were collected through an online survey. The results show that economic benefits, home benefits, authenticity, hedonism, and quality each positively influence the consumer’s intention to adopt Airbnb Plus. In addition, hedonism emerges as the strongest predictor of the intention to choose Airbnb Plus homes. Neither social interaction nor social status has a significant effect on the intention to use Airbnb Plus. Theoretical contributions and practical implications of this study are discussed.
Key words: Airbnb Plus; Motivation; Behavioral intention; Hedonism
