The Global Review of Tourism and Social Sciences (3064-1780) is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal committed to advancing research that contributes to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and promotes inclusive development across global and local contexts. The journal welcomes high-quality original research from diverse fields — including tourism and hospitality, business and management, economics and finance, and cultural studies — as long as the work provides meaningful insights into how these disciplines can help build a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable future. We are especially interested in topics such as: Sustainable tourism and responsible travel Inclusive business models and ethical leadership Financial strategies that promote equity and development Cultural heritage, identity, and social cohesion Policy and innovation for sustainable economic growth By emphasizing the intersection of scholarly inquiry and real-world impact, the journal aims to support evidence-based dialogue among academics, practitioners, and policymakers worldwide. Published three times a year (February, June, and October), the journal fosters cross-disciplinary understanding of today’s most urgent development challenges.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosure, green-certification disclosure, and financial performance among U.S.-listed hospitality and tourism firms, including whether pre-pandemic disclosure predicted resilience during COVID-19. The unbalanced panel comprises 41 firms and 481 firm-years (2014–2025), spanning lodging, gaming resorts, cruises, timeshares, online travel, leisure, and lodging real estate investment trusts. Financial variables were obtained from SEC EDGAR XBRL filings; a nine-item ESG Disclosure Index (EDI) and green-certification disclosure indicator were coded from 10-K text. Two-way fixed-effects models, an intensity difference-in-differences specification, an event study, and cross-sectional shock regressions were estimated. Mean EDI rose from 0.09 to a peak of 0.35. Within firms, EDI showed no statistically significant association with return on assets (β = 0.016, p = .59). Green-certification disclosure was associated with approximately 1.4 percentage points lower return on assets (p = .04), but the estimate was sensitive to alternative specifications. The models did not detect significantly smaller pandemic-era losses or faster recovery among firms with higher pre-pandemic disclosure. These results concern disclosed information rather than verified sustainability outcomes and do not establish that substantive ESG practices lack financial value.

Abstract

Global tourism equities may respond differently to public-health, geopolitical, and digital infrastructure shocks because operating models transmit disruption through distinct channels. This paper presents a prespecified, cross-market event-study protocol covering airlines, hotel groups, cruise operators, and online travel intermediaries around four information milestones: the WHO emergency declaration in January 2020, the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the Israel–Gaza conflict outbreak in October 2023, and the global IT outage in July 2024. The proposed analysis uses publicly accessible daily security prices, local-market benchmarks, exchange-specific event timing, market-model abnormal returns, and dependence-aware inference. It also specifies subsector and regional contrasts, falsification tests, and source-audit procedures. The contribution is a transparent business-model exposure–transmission framework and a reproducibility-oriented research design, not an estimate of completed crisis effects. As no audited price panel or calculated abnormal returns accompany the manuscript, empirical results and tests of the hypotheses remain pending. The paper must therefore be assessed as a research protocol rather than a completed empirical event study.

Abstract

Automated hospitality services raise questions about transparency when guests first encounter artificial intelligence (AI) and when systems cannot resolve their requests. This structured evidence review examines AI disclosure, human escalation, trust, and organizational accountability. An access-limited synthesis mapped 19 empirical reports published between 2019 and July 2026, supplemented by relevant reviews and conceptual studies. Diverse methods, incomplete full-text access, and the absence of independent screening precluded meta-analysis and a comprehensive risk-of-bias assessment. The available evidence suggests that disclosure effects depend on service criticality and failure conditions, while recovery evaluations vary with problem severity, agent capabilities, and guest preferences. Responsibility assigned to a robot also differs from that attributed to its service organization. We develop a proposed executable transparency framework linking identity and capability information, accessible human assistance, information continuity, and clearly assigned recovery authority. Five propositions specify how these features could be examined in future research. The framework is conceptual and has not been tested as an integrated model. Because the evidence search and appraisal were incomplete, the findings constitute a bounded synthesis rather than definitive systematic-review conclusions.

Abstract

Tourism dependence is often assumed to magnify pandemic losses, but it is uncertain whether it predicts the percentage collapse in tourism receipts or the importance of lost tourism receipts within pre-pandemic exports. Using World Development Indicators for 125 countries and economies, this study distinguishes the proportional decline in international tourism receipts from the same loss normalized by pre-pandemic exports. Cross-sectional regression models use 2019 dependence, baseline receipts and prior revenue growth, with heteroskedasticity-robust inference and pre-period sensitivity checks. Average tourism-receipts losses in 2020 reached 63.8%. Dependence was not a statistically reliable predictor of proportional losses in the preferred model (β = 0.079, SE = 0.066, p = .227), a result robust to alternative measures and sample restrictions. In contrast, median foregone tourism receipts were equivalent to 1.98% of 2019 exports in the lowest-dependence quartile and 31.06% in the highest, an accounting difference, not a causal effect. The study advances tourism-vulnerability measurement by separating sector-specific shock severity from structural export exposure and identifies the limits of treating tourism reliance as a direct predictor of relative shock intensity.

Abstract

Visitor arrivals dominate tourism performance reporting, yet tourism receipts need not expand proportionately with recorded trips. This study tests the arrivals–receipts relationship using 2,751 country-year observations from 189 countries and economies during 2002–2019, assembled from World Development Indicators tourism series. Pooled regressions are compared with country and year fixed effects, consecutive-year first differences, and sensitivity analyses involving long-reporting panels, outlier trimming, transport receipts and country-specific trends. The pooled arrivals elasticity is 0.954, but the preferred two-way fixed-effects estimate is 0.593 (95% CI 0.465–0.720); the annual first-difference estimate is 0.355. The proportional elasticity benchmark of one is rejected in the preferred model. A pre-period tourism-export-dependence interaction is not statistically distinguishable from zero. These results show that the positive cross-country association overstates the conditional within-country correspondence between arrival growth and nominal tourism receipts. The paper advances measurement-focused tourism economics by separating tourism volume from recorded monetary performance, and cautions against treating arrivals, nominal revenue, visitor expenditure, domestic value added and welfare as interchangeable outcomes. Destinations should evaluate visitor targets alongside harmonized receipt measures and direct indicators of locally retained value.
