Annals of Tourism Research

Time for something new! Annals of Tourism Research is developing the first joint article collection with a journal from another discipline: Information Processing & Management. It's a pretty natural approach given that research on #LargeLanguageModels (#LLMs) in #tourism is relevant to both disciplines. Authors can choose which journal they would rather submit to. Accepted papers will all be included in the collection Here's the call for papers: https://lnkd.in/djYW9Aui

Reaching our 4th publications in Annals of Tourism Research! Always feel like learning something new whenever working with Prof. Dr. Dr. Roman Egger😊🌱

Instincts that once helped our stone age ancestors survive are now driving our behavior. In our new research note, co-authored with dr. Marianna Strzelecka published in Annals of Tourism Research we explores why people still misbehave in nature during leisure. We suggest that ancient human instincts called evolutionary biases such as self-interest, short-sightedness, and social imitation combine with neutralization to excuse such behavior. Understanding these deep-rooted biases can help design smarter, more effective environmental interventions.

There are different types of #research. Some research discovers fundamental knowledge that does not immediately lead to impact. Some research refines methodology, thus improving our ability to create knowledge in future. And some research has immediate impact. All these contributions are important. In this new Joint Article Collection, Annals of Tourism Research and Annals of Tourism Research Empirical Insights focus specifically on work that has had a direct impact on policy, industry or society.

Conservation of Resources Theory: A new theory for the resident attitude literature By Author, B. Bynum Boley Highlights The article introduces the Conservation of Resources (COR) Theory to the literature on resident attitudes toward tourism. COR theory posits that people are fundamentally motivated to protect their current resources and to gain additional resources; when resources are threatened or lost The paper argues that while the resident-attitude literature (i.e., how residents of destination communities feel about tourism development) has often used frameworks like social exchange theory, emotional solidarity, etc., these do not deeply explain the root causes of stress or opposition among residents. The author suggests COR can provide a more foundational explanation. Link to video below: https://lnkd.in/gbd6Jg3X DOI link below: https://lnkd.in/g7PU_GwE

🌍 When Luxury Loses Its Shine: The Case of Mykonos I’m excited to share our new publication in Annals of Tourism Research! 🎉 (4* ABS) Mykonos - long celebrated as a symbol of beauty, luxury, and cosmopolitan charm - is now at a crossroads. Its global success story has also brought new challenges: managing growth, preserving authenticity, and sustaining its distinctive identity. In our recent study: “Destination in Crisis: Place Identity Degradation” — co-authored with Aikaterini Manthiou, Kafia AYADI and @Haosheng Fan (NEOMA Business School), we explore how destinations evolve under pressure and, how subtle shifts in visitors’ perceptions can gradually reshape a place’s image. Our findings shed light on the delicate balance between popularity and preservation, exclusivity and accessibility — a balance many world destinations are striving to maintain. 🔍 Beyond Mykonos, this work offers insights for any destination seeking to safeguard its long-term brand identity and visitor experience. 👉 Download the full article here – free access for 50 days! https://lnkd.in/d3haWZFY #Tourism #PlaceBranding #DestinationManagement #Sustainability #AcademicResearch   🇫🇷 Quand le luxe perd de son éclat : le cas de Mykonos Je suis ravie de vous partager notre nouvelle publication dans Annals of Tourism Research ! 🎉 (4* ABS) Mykonos - longtemps célébrée pour sa beauté, son luxe et son charme cosmopolite - se trouve aujourd’hui à un tournant.

Nos résultats mettent en lumière l’équilibre fragile entre rayonnement et préservation, exclusivité et accessibilité : défis communs à de nombreuses destinations dans le monde. 🔍 Au-delà du cas de Mykonos, cette recherche offre des enseignements précieux pour toute destination souhaitant préserver son identité de marque et la qualité de l’expérience visiteur. 👉 Téléchargez l’article complet ici – accès gratuit pendant 50 jours ! https://lnkd.in/d3haWZFY #Tourisme #Placeidentity #GestionDesDestinations #PublicationAcadémique

No thanks. #Research #metrics, including #universityrankings, have broken the higher education sector, hitting university-based research hardest. Under no circumstances will I spend my time supporting any endeaviours relating to #researchmetrics. Neither should you. Remember: If you are not enjoying the #PublishOrPerish culture, you have two options only: Fuel it or resist it. Which will you choose? https://lnkd.in/dsJy3dqJ Annals of Tourism Research

#editorobservation Readability is ease of understanding due to writing style. In 2015, 75% of articles published in Annals of Tourism Research, Tourism Management and the Journal of Travel Research were "very difficult" to read (see https://lnkd.in/ddExVTQb). I am afraid #ChatGPT and its friends are making things worse. I now routinely receive manuscripts that use so complicated language that I can only describe them as "totally unreadable". So, a new tip for authors keen to publish their work: make sure that readers understand what you are trying to say.
