Abstract

Higher Education (HE) plays a key role in disseminating knowledge to the research community and society at large. In Africa, production of research output is a challenge.  Past scholars have highlighted that collaboration in terms of co-authorship is needed to increase the research output. To expand literature on collaboration among scholars from different disciplines, this paper’s main objective was to explore collaborative research in HE focusing on the benefits for scholars. Specifically, this paper explores multidisciplinary collaborative research in HE with a focus on the benefits for scholars in tourism. The research methodology applied in this paper is a Scholarly Personal Narrative (SPN) method to avail experiences of collaborative research from the perspective of an African tourism scholar. Content analysis was used to provide relevant themes that address the objective of this paper. Findings reveal that multidisciplinary collaborative research in HE has benefits. Some of the benefits include “networking”, “sharing workload’, “integrating research skills” and “supporting team”. The outcome implies that HE institutions in Africa should encourage multidisciplinary collaborative research as a way of increasing knowledge production to benefit the academic community and non-academic community for the development of Africa.

Abstract

Fermented Coconut Oil (FCO) stands out as a unique form of pure coconut oil, processed through fermentation with a starter culture. Primarily composed of medium-chain saturated fatty acids, it inherits the biological properties of coconut oil, extensively studied for its remarkable antibacterial potential. The high concentration of medium-chain fatty acids, particularly lauric acid and its monoglyceride derivative, monolaurin. endows FCO with potent antibacterial properties. This enables FCO to combat a range of pathogenic microorganisms effectively. This study investigated the antibacterial activity of FCO against cultured pathogens, including Listeria monocitogenes, Bacillus cereus and Salmonella typhimurium. The results revealed the ability of FCO to inhibit the growth of these pathogens. Regarding in vivo testing with mice, parameters such as weight gain, blood sugar, cholesterol. and triglyceride levels were assessed in blood serum. Histopathological examination of the spleen, liver, kidneys, and intestines did not reveal any adverse changes. However, mice infected with Escherichia coli and simultaneously given FCO showed focal necrosis in the liver due to E. coli infection. Observation of kidney tissue showed glomerular swelling and renal tubular epithelial necrosis in some groups, but did not appear in the control group. In particular, the group infected with E. coli and given FCO showed glomerular swelling and renal tubular epithelial cell necrosis. This shows the potential of FCO in reducing bacterial infections and highlights its impact on kidney health by preventing inflammation and necrosis in the kidneys.

Abstract

Past scholars noted that one of the challenges is education in relation to tourism particularly the aspects of training and curriculum design. Existing literature has explored challenges of customer services education in tourism and suggest measures such as retraining and improving the curricula as a remedy to match the skills needed in the post pandemic for the hospitality and tourism industry. Conversely, there is less attention on other forms of tourism like astro-tourism. Hence, this paper’s aim is to expand literature on education in tourism with the main objective of exploring astro-tourism and education in tourism. Guided by the behaviorist learning theory, the specific objective is to explore the forms of astro-tourism and training programs from the perspective of Kenya and Tanzania. A systematic literature review supplemented by integrative literature review is deployed as a research methodology. A total of 16 papers from journals, conferences and newsflash deemed sufficient for descriptive statistics and literature analysis to avail findings. The findings indicate that although various forms of astro-tourism exist, these are not fully complemented with training programs. Very few public institutions or private enterprises offer astro-tourism programs like astro tour guide. The findings suggest that both higher education institutions and the private sector should continue promoting tourism education that includes training programs aligned with the growing trends in astro-tourism.

Abstract

Astro-tourism has potential globally including Tanzania. For example, the skyline over Tanzania is filled with abundant astronomical objects like stars at night whereas on land, there is the famous Kimondo meteorite in Mbozi area. However, there is still challenge in tourism development particularly product diversification and marketing in the post-pandemic. Additionally, there are limited studies that connect visiting national parks and astro-tourism as co-activities that tourists can enjoy in protected areas. Therefore, the motive for this paper on astro-tourism is specifically to explore advertising of national parks and astro-tourism activities in Tanzania with a reactive marketing overview. An integrative literature review as a methodology approach is deployed in this study. Content analysis assisted to provide themes. The findings reveal that there are efforts made by the government and the private sector in advertising tourism including national parks. Also, the Royal Tour Film is one example of reactive marketing in the context of Tanzania as a way of advertising national parks. Findings also show that there is less advertising which connects national parks and astro-tourism within spaces of protected areas. The practical implication from this study is that the Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs) and tourism stakeholders to engage more advertising that links national park activities and astro-tourism.

Abstract

The ‘Big Five’ are considered to be the Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Buffalo and Elephant which have become synonymous with Africa’s safaris in the national parks. Guided by the Butler’s TALC model, this paper aims to compare national parks development focusing on the ‘Big Nine’ in Kenya and Tanzania. Specifically, this paper explores national parks conservation and management in relation to the ‘Big Nine’. The method used is the Systematic Literature Review (SLR), whereby 16 journal articles were found to be relevant for the study were analyzed. The finding shows that for the future generations, the ‘Big Five’ requires protection and conservation in the national parks, other wild animals like Zebras and Warthogs included. The outcome of this paper advocates for other diverse wild animals in Kenya and Tanzania that could fascinate tourists be included in the “Big Five” to have either the ‘Big Seven’ or ‘Big Nine’. Future studies may opt for quantitative and qualitative approaches as mixed methods to further explore national parks and wild animals in Kenya and Tanzania as well as other African countries in the post-colonial era.

Abstract

Tourism studies in Africa are increasing in order to provide information and guide the sector. On 5 May 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 as no longer a pandemic. Therefore, it is crucial for more research after the pandemic to reflect the effects of the pandemic in the post period particularly advertising as more nations need to attract as many tourists as possible to visit their destinations. This paper is motivated to explore tourism studies in Africa. The main objective is to explore post-pandemic advertising and tourism studies in Africa. The methodology deployed for this paper is the systematic literature review method. To address the main objective, this study poses the question “What are the post-pandemic types of advertising and topics of tourism studies in Africa?” The findings indicate that there are few studies in the post-pandemic addressing advertising and topics of tourism studies. The few existing studies have shown that social media advertising, internet advertising and exhibition are being used in the post-pandemic and topics such as promotion strategies and travel information have been covered but areas of artificial intelligence needs research to further understand its impact on advertising in the tourism industry within Africa.

Abstract

Trends in accommodation are a part of the traveler's lifestyle, seeking valuable experiences during their stay. The phenomenon of theme hotels has become a trend in Malaysian accommodation. Unique physical architecture design made a special accommodation in a theme hotel. Physical environment quality is an important attribute that influences guest satisfaction by meeting their needs and expectations. Two primary dimensions, i.e., surrounding indoor and guestroom, were identified for the physical environment quality. Data were obtained from a questionnaire distributed randomly to 400 respondents in five selected theme hotels, and 375 completed questionnaires were returned. However, 360 were appropriate for further analysis. This study was analyzed using Exploratory Factor Analysis and multiple regression analysis. The results show that hotel ambiance and facility aesthetics significantly influence indoor dimensions. The guestroom's cleanliness significantly influenced guest satisfaction with the guestroom dimensions. Findings could assist the management of theme hotels and employees in improving their physical environment quality to ensure guests’ satisfaction. Limitations and future research recommendations are presented.

Abstract

Covid-19 pandemic has impacted tourism sector terribly due to travel restrictions. Various methods have been implemented by the government to reinstate the confidence of society towards tourism destinations’ safety. East Java is one of the provinces becoming the government’s main focus for tourism recovery, and when people finally return, accommodation service is becoming necessity. Hotel’s management and staff need to perform numbers of adjustments to regain its visitors’ confidence and convenience upon using provided products and services. Hotel’s employees are expected to provide excellent service and performance. Thus, every member of the property is expected to possess positive psychological condition in order to be able to process and proceed with necessary operational changes on the place. This positive psychological state is often called as psychological capital (psycap). Employees with a higher psycap should have a higher readiness for change, which leads to a better job performance. Data collection through online questionnaires survey, with purposive sampling from 385 respondents. Quantitative data analysis using Partial Least Square (PLS) SEM. The findings show that psycap has a positive and significant impact on both readiness for change and job performance. Additionally, readiness for change positively and significantly influences job performance and serves as a mediating variable between psycap and job performance. This research aids management in understanding the connection between psycap, readiness for change, and job performance, particularly in the hotel industry.
