Aims & Scope
Established in 1996, Tourism Analysis is an interdisciplinary journal that provides a platform for exchanging ideas and research in tourism and related fields. The journal aims to publish articles that explore a broad range of research subjects, including, but not limited to, the social, economic, cultural, environmental, and psychological aspects of tourism, consumer behavior in tourism, sustainable and responsible tourism, and effective operations, marketing, and management.
Tourism Analysis focuses on both theoretical and applied research and strives to promote innovative approaches to understanding the complex and dynamic nature of tourism, its stakeholders, businesses, and its effects on society. The journal welcomes articles on innovative research topics and methodologies beyond the traditional theory-testing sciences, such as robotics, computational sciences, and data analytics.
Our primary goal is to contribute to the development and advancement of new knowledge in tourism while fostering critical reflections and debates on the radical changes and evolution in tourism among scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and other stakeholders.

Tourism Analysis Special Issue – Tourism’s Great Correction: Searching for Sustainability Post-Pandemic
SPECIAL ISSUE ON TOURISM SUSTAINABILITY POST-PANDEMIC
Guest Editors:
Dr. HS Chris Choi and Dr. Statia Elliot, School of Hospitality, Food and Tourism Management, University of Guelph, Canada
AIM AND SCOPE OF SPECIAL ISSUE:
The COVID-19 pandemic caused major disruption not only to travel and tourism operations, but to the sector’s pre-pandemic drive to improve economic and environmental sustainability. Much research in the 2020-2022 pandemic period has focused on the COVID-19 impact to the tourism economy and travel behaviour, with some threads emerging to guide sector recovery post-pandemic (Walters & McKercher, 2021; Gursoy & Chi, 2020). Early indications are that returning to full operations, while a goal for many businesses, is challenged by current realities of limited financial and human resources. Hotels and restaurants, for example, are faced with staff shortages and investment disparities, limiting their capacity to return to pre-pandemic levels of operation, and forcing a re-prioritization of traditional business approaches. Could this be the beginnings of a great correction in travel and tourism? The nexus of market realities upward pressure on price and downward pressure on capacity has potential to reduce travel’s environmental footprint and shift tourism toward more sustainable operating models.
This special issue invites contributions that provide new insights and future-focused analysis and understanding of tourism sustainability post-pandemic both from a theoretical and an applied perspective.
The key themes for the proposed special edition of the journal include (but are not limited to):
- Management and/or marketing implications for sustainable tourism post-pandemic.
- The role of responsible travel, resiliency, community engagement, capacity management, digital efficiencies, etc. post-pandemic.
- Tourist experiences and behaviour at destinations post-pandemic.
- Profiling of the tourist for a post-pandemic travel context.
- Insights for more sustainable tourism policy and practise.
- Theoretical contributions for future-focused sustainable tourism research.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

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.
If you are interested in becoming a reviewer for TA, please contact the Editor in Chief: Ercan Sirakaya-Türk, Professor, College of Hospitality, Retail and Sport Management, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, USA – Email: ercan@hrsm.sc.edu

Many African states are relying on or have identified tourism to accelerate their growth and the continent has become the world’s second fastest growing tourist industry. However, African states have also not been spared by increasing terrorism attacks during the past decades, probably hindering the growth of this sector to a certain extent. This study examines the relationship between terrorism and tourism for a sample of selected African countries over the period 1995 to 2017. Given the dynamic nature of tourism demand and the possibility of endogenous relationships in the terrorism–tourism nexus, dynamic panel data analysis, namely a Panel vector error correction model (PVECM), is employed. The results confirm that terrorism negatively affects tourism demand in Africa and this can be explained by the reactive psychology of tourists to the various aggravated terrorist attacks in the countries. Moreover, the findings show that an increase in tourism may have resulted in an increase in terrorist attacks, hence confirming a bi directional causality between tourism and terrorism.

This study aims to examine memorable tourism experiences and their role in subsequent well-being. To achieve this, we carried out longitudinal surveys during the winter vacation period, recruiting participants via an online marketing research company. A total of 230 participants completed questionnaires comprising questions seeking demographic information and psychological scales at four time points so that the changes in their well-being could be assessed. Our findings indicate that having a memorable experience during a vacation had positive influences not only on the recovery experience at that time, but also on the recovery experience during subsequent daily life. Although the recovery experience during and after the vacation was profoundly involved, it should be noted that only the recovery experience after returning to everyday life was further associated with individuals’ wellbeing. The results demonstrate new findings on how extraordinary experiences during vacations influence commonplace activities.

Stakeholder tourism development has revolved around the sustainable branding concept and brand engagement challenges. Addressing concerns on branding and sustainability, this study aims to investigate the stakeholder destination image (socioenvironment, infrastructure, natural and cultural resources, and pleasant atmosphere) impact on destination brand (brand meaning, presented brand, brand awareness, and brand equity) with the mediating role of stakeholder brand engagement (behavioral, affective and cognitive). We draw on the self-congruity theory to develop hypotheses and collect data from different stakeholder groups (local people, visitors, and entrepreneurs) (N = 350). Structural equation modeling with second-order analysis was undertaken using SmartPLS 3.3.9. Our results show the significance of stakeholder destination image in positively building destination brand. The results also showed that stakeholder brand engagement partially mediates between destination image and destination brand. Our study provides implications for theory and practice.

In recent years, tourism has emerged as a key driver of economic growth, as countries are increasingly proactive in improving governance standards to enhance tourism competitiveness in attracting foreign tourists. This article explores the nexus between good governance and international tourism in the US during 2008–2019 using the continuous wavelet transform method and maximal overlap discrete wavelet transform method to examine the comovement and lead-lag relationships in the time–frequency domains. We find significant interrelatedness between good governance indicators and international inbound tourism indicators in the medium- and long-run frequency domains as the governance indicators like control of corruption, regulatory quality, the rule of law, and voice & accountability substantially affect tourist arrivals. As a robustness measure, we provide additional evidence using Indian data. Overall, our results provide strong evidence that good governance matters for foreign tourist inflows, thereby enhancing the tourism competitiveness of the host country. The policy implication is that countries must enhance their good governance to boost sustainable tourism competitiveness in attracting tourist inflows.

The literature investigating the role emotions play on patrons’ casino gambling behavior within the theory of planned behavior (TPB) framework have primarily focused on anticipated emotions. However, anticipated emotions are more unstable compared to experienced emotions with predicting responses to behaviors that have a high degree of uncertainty in the outcomes such as casino gambling. This study investigates the role of experienced emotions within the TPB framework for predicting casino visitation intentions and attitudes via covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM). The results show that positive experienced emotions along with subjective norms and attitudes significantly influenced the casino visitation intentions. Additionally, while positive emotions significantly influenced casino visitation attitudes, negative emotions did not. Alternatively, negative emotions were positively correlated with casino visitation intentions. Moreover, the analysis also revealed that respondents from diverse backgrounds varied greatly in their responses of how their experienced emotions and cognitive determinants influenced their casino visitation intentions. Casino marketers can utilize the results to fine-tune their marketing initiatives for eliciting increased visitation among their patron databases.

We investigate tourism-led Dutch Disease in the selected South Asian countries with data covering from 1980 to 2018 as no studies have been done from the South Asian perspective. We use recently developed robust panel econometric methods for this empirical analysis. Our results reveal that concerning variables have long-run cointegrating relationship given their stationarity property and cross-sectional dependency. The ARDL (PMG) and the panel DOLS show that tourism and economy are positively associated in the long run (0.17 and 0.12). We further reveal that increase in tourism activities reduce manufacturing competitiveness in the long run (−0.19 and −0.11), which is a symptom of tourism-led Dutch Disease. Our results also confirm that the presence of Dutch Disease persists for a long time. Therefore, we suggest that policymakers can utilize a part of the tourism-generated revenue for the mutual development of both the sectors to alleviate Dutch Disease in South Asia.

Tourism is an important socioeconomic sector for many countries worldwide. The perishable nature of this industry requires highly accurate forecasts to support decision-makers with their strategies and planning. This study explores the relationship between time series data characteristics and the forecasting performance of the cutting edge Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network, along with benchmark methods. Such analyses are important to provide practical recommendations based on empirical evidence to support the development of more accurate forecasts. We analyze the case of inbound tourism in Australia from several country sources, including developed and developing economies from five continents. Findings from this study reveal that the LSTM deep learning approach achieves superior performance in most cases. However, we find that data characteristics, mainly unit root and structural breaks, are related to poor performance of LSTM forecasting model and, in such cases, the deep learning method is not recommended. The results reveal insights that can lead to a forecasting error reduction of around 40% in some cases. Further, more accurate results are found using univariate time series compared to models that employ regressor variables.

The COVID-19 outbreak posed severe challenges to tourism and hospitality. The volume of COVID-19-pertinent research has remarkably grown. This study conducted a systematic review of initial COVID-19 research in tourism and hospitality using a mixed-method approach to enable researchers to understand the state-of-the-art knowledge. Content analysis and bibliometric analysis were conducted. At the initial research stage, research themes of more than 70% of related articles focused on the theme of responses to COVID-19. Additional findings were provided in the study. This study provides an overview of the research in its initial stage to gain academics’ attention to the COVID-19 research in tourism and hospitality. In the future, a periodical review of this realm is necessary to reflect the changes in research focus.

Many people recognize companion animals as their friends, partners, and family members, and an increasing number of them are observed traveling with companion animals. To enhance tourists’ experience of traveling with companion animals, protect companion animals’ welfare, and facilitate a healthy development of this niche market, it is worthy and necessary to understand the constraints in traveling with companion animals and how people negotiate them. This study did a Husserlian phenomenology inquiry based on data collected from a virtual community where users could raise and answer questions. This study reveals that most public transportation, hotels, and tourist attractions in China are very hostile to companion animals, and coping with these constraints is a primary experience of traveling with companion animals. Tourists negotiate constraints by driving personal cars, lying, hiding, and sneaking in, leaving companion animals alone, and being mindful and responsible.
Key words: Traveling with companion animals; Constraints; Negotiating; Phenomenological inquiry

This research note reports on the preliminary findings of tourism entrepreneurs’ mental health and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mental health and well-being have ramifications for entrepreneurial motivations and actions, as well as impacting the economic and social environment at a tourism destination. The study examines the extent to which tourism entrepreneurs’ “human capital”—education, prior start-up experience, and entrepreneurship training and qualifications—can support mental health and well-being. Responses from a survey of 138 homestay business operators in Wuyuan, China reveal that prior start-up experience has a significant positive effect on well-being, whereas entrepreneurship specific training or qualifications have a significant effect on supporting mental health. Findings also suggest gender is a discriminating variable with female business owners rating their mental health and well-being significantly worse than male business owners’ ratings. The findings present insights for policy makers in supporting the capabilities and resilience of tourism entrepreneurs and for the sustainability of tourism destinations.
