Abstract

The paper is empirical in the course of methodological contributions and policy implications. It studies the quantity of tourism infrastructure obtainable for destinations in the Kashmir Valley. For analysis, quantitative data were collected from the head offices of numerous departments facilitating infrastructure facilities. The Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir is widely famous for its tourism potentials. Nevertheless, it needs to catch up in tourism infrastructure. The low quantity is visible in components and needs a comprehensive measurement to identify lags. Subsequently, identifying the significant areas of weakness required a scientific mechanism and an approach to remove such bottlenecks. Therefore, measurement of Infrastructure based on scientific methods is indispensable to identify the areas of inadequate facilities and to remove obstructions. Subsequently, composite index based analyses were adopted to compare and rank the quantity of Infrastructure of five popular tourism destinations. Tourism Infrastructure Index exposed disparity by dimensions and among the destinations. It is revealed that a low amount of Infrastructure is evident for most destinations and, therefore, affects the development of tourist places. So, the provision of sufficient quantity is recommended and depends upon the geospatial characteristics, nature and necessities of the destinations.

Abstract

Travellers prefer to rely on peers’ recommendations and review websites to look for reliable and unbiased information. Trustworthy communicators are more influential than the untrustworthy one. Trustworthy content is need of the hour in specific to post COVID19 travel. This research is analysing what propels a traveller towards destinations and empirically verify the valences of trustworthiness on TripAdvisor reviews.  Content analysis of TripAdvisor reviews (153799 numbers) on South Asian destinations are captured, modelled, and analysed using Descriptive statistics, Regression Analysis and Structural Equation Modelling. Positive reviews are more trustworthy than the negative reviews and are helpful to potential tourist who seeks ‘real’ or ‘genuine’ reviews. There is no moderating effect of negative sentiments on Trustworthiness. Our research results find that valences of TripAdvisor review are useful to potential tourists for their travel planning and actions. Practitioners should listen to TripAdvisor review valences and keep up with the value chain, make the destinations more tourist friendly and evolve new themes. Tourism ecosystem should use modicum of digital opportunities emanating from sentiments and apply appropriate strategies to develop their destinations. This way, tourists will develop brand equity. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on polarity analysis in TripAdvisor reviews and investigated the relationship between positive and negative valences with trustworthiness.

Abstract

The global cruise tourism industry has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, it is important to understand the factors that affect tourists' decision to purchase cruise holidays after the pandemic. To accomplish this, a conceptual model based on the perceived value theory and incorporating concepts such as destination image, perceived risk, and purchase intention is proposed. This framework can be utilized to investigate tourists' purchase intention for cruise holidays and assist the cruise tourism industry in devising appropriate policies and designing cruise tourism products. This study is the first to develop a model for tourists' purchase intentions for cruise holidays after the COVID-19 outbreak.

Abstract

The study uses an indicator approach to assess the socioeconomic impact on tourism in developing countries, using Sri Lanka as a case. Tourism is a flourishing sector in Sri Lanka that was affected by different aspects such as pandemics, terrorism, and economic, social, and political instabilities. Though the effects of these events have been studied separately, studies done to assess the socio-economic impact of tourism in Sri Lanka using an indicator approach are scarce; hence the study aims to fill this prevailing knowledge gap. Based on data availability, the study uses secondary data from Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority and Central Bank reports of Sri Lanka from 2010 to 2019. The socio-economic impact of tourism is measured using integral indicators calculated using the coefficients and weights of the data collected. The study concludes that tourism in Sri Lanka has had a positive socioeconomic impact and has increased continuously since 2010 except in 2019, due to the aftermath of the Easter Sunday attacks in April 2019. This study indeed provides a stepping stone to study the Sri Lankan Tourism Sector which is currently going through political and economic turmoil.

Abstract

This paper is a literature review, aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the collaboration between the hospitality higher educational sector and the industry to prepare work-ready graduates. A scoping review of 111 research papers published between April 2000 and September 2021 in reputable hospitality and tourism journals was conducted. Research revealed different perceptions between industry employers, educators, and students about competencies required of entry-level hospitality employees. Previous studies confirmed the positive impact of the industry-university collaboration on enhancing hospitality graduates’ employability. The work-integrated model has been widely implemented to develop hospitality students’ skill sets. Thus, hospitality higher education institutions need to adapt to the constantly changing business environment and present graduates with sufficient industry knowledge and skills. This study adds to the current literature on hospitality competencies expected from tertiary education graduates and highlights the appropriate methods to ensure effective industry-academia partnership. Generally, hospitality students and educators place more value on industry knowledge and technical skills. Hospitality tertiary educators should, thus, seek industry inputs more proactively to redesign their education programs, and industry professionals should engage and offer more support to higher education institutions to raise the quality of potential candidates.
