- Beyond the rhetoric of “sustainable aviation”: a counterfactual confrontationPublication . Gössling, Stefan; Hopkins, Debbie; Schweiggart, Nadja; Cohen, Scott; Cocolas, Nicole; Higham, JamesAmid evidence of rising emissions, the aviation industry continues to promote demand growth while offering long-term sustainability reassurances communicated as “facts.” Using counterfactual analysis, this paper examines how industry rhetoric constructs and defends these discursive strategies. Drawing on a content analysis of 211 sources – including airline websites, industry reports, and manufacturer statements – the study identifies seven discursive strategies. The findings reveal a novel theoretical mechanism, “future soothing”: projecting technological salvation into a perpetually deferred future to ease public concern and postpone regulation. By transforming delay into the illusion of progress, discourses operate as rhetorical governance, sustaining growth under the guise of climate responsibility. The paper contributes to scholarship on the temporal politics of sustainability, showing how appeals to the future enable inaction in the present and illustrating how rhetoric, temporality, and power intertwine in shaping societal responses to climate change. Breaking aviation’s “cycle of blame” requires policymaker action.
- A bibliometric analysis on designing urban green and blue spaces related to environmental and public health benefitsPublication . de Sousa Silva, Catarina; Bell, Simon; Lackóová, Lenka; Panagopoulos, ThomasAbstract: Humans and nature have always been connected. Meanwhile, with the industrial revolution, landscapes have become more artificial, reducing the human–nature relationship. Urban design should follow biophilic principles to reconnect people with nature, mitigate climate change, improve air quality, restore biodiversity loss, and solve social problems. Poor air quality affects people’s health, and vegetation plays a crucial role in purifying the air. Similarly, contact with nature benefits physical and mental health and well-being. However, there is no consensus on how urban design can be beneficial for improving air quality and human health. This review paper aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of evidence linking nature-based solutions (NBSs), air quality, carbon neutrality, and human health and well-being. Five hundred articles published between 2000 and 2024 were analysed. A number of publications studied the benefits of green infrastructure in improving air quality, carbon sequestration, or the influence of green spaces on human health. The topic of NBSs has recently emerged related to air quality, health, and promoting physical activity, as has accessibility to green spaces and mental health, also associated with blue spaces and residential gardens. The results revealed the gaps in the literature on how to design green and blue spaces to tackle environmental and public health crises simultaneously.
- Cognitive, affective and behavioural repercussions of perceived quality in tourism vocational education: insights from self-determination theoryPublication . Silva, Rejane Santana da; Quiroga Souki, Gustavo; Oliveira, Alessandro Silva de; Vieira, Luís Sérgio; Dionísio Serra, Manuel AntónioPurpose – This study aimed to investigate the influence of the perceived quality by students regarding their experiences in vocational schools in tourism, hospitality and food service on cognitive and affective responses (satisfaction, self-efficacy expectations and self-regulation strategies of motivation for learning - SRSML) and commitment (behavioural response). Design/methodology/approach – A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 454 students from twelve Turismo de Portugal IP-affiliated schools. The theoretical framework was rooted in Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and PLS-SEM, using ADANCO 2.3 software to test the proposed model. Findings – Perceived quality by students concerning their school experiences are socio-contextual factors that directly influence their satisfaction and self-efficacy expectations (cognitive and affective responses). Satisfaction and self-efficacy expectations positively affected SRSML. Finally, satisfaction and the SRSML positively impacted the students` commitment to schools (behavioural response). Originality/value – This study contributes to academia by comprehensively addressing 16 perceived quality dimensions within vocational education. It aligns with SDT, revealing that socio-contextual factors affect students’ cognitive, affective, and behavioural responses. Additionally, it demonstrates positive relationships between student satisfaction, self-efficacy expectations, SRSML, and students’ commitment to vocational education institutions. This study emphasises the multidimensional nature of perceived quality, urging educational institutions to address tangible and intangible dimensions to develop strategies to provide high-quality experiences, increasing students` satisfaction, self-efficacy expectations, motivation, and commitment.
- Creating new opportunities for tourism development through cross-border collaboration: shedding light on overlooked destinationsPublication . Pardo, Maria Carmen; Almeida, Sofia; Campos, Ana CláudiaPurpose – The aim of this investigation is to explore opportunities for advancing cross-border tourism in the Iberian Peninsula. Methodology/Design/Approach – In this study, focus groups and in-depth interviews were conducted to both public and private stakeholders in the cross-border regions. Findings – Findings indicate that the cross-border areas in Portugal and Spain are perceived by stakeholders from both countries as familiar territories and also that there are signs of transnational cooperation. This indicates there is significant potential for the advancement of cross-border tourism in the Iberian Peninsula. Nonetheless, the study concludes that more initiatives are required, beginning with the creation of an adequate organization to build the cross-border destination. Originality of the research – The research delivers managerial insights to assist public and private actors in developing this cross-border destination, such as the need to curtail contextual expenses or accentuate the public sector’s role in stimulating private sector’s involvement in the process.
- Customer destination-based experience and loyalty: exploring the role of tourists’ emotionsPublication . Piedade, David; Martins Guerreiro, Maria Manuela; Pinto, PatríciaPurpose – Following an experiential marketing approach, this study addresses whether customer destination-based experiences (CDBE) affect tourists’ loyalty and emotions and if positive and negative emotions mediate this relationship. Hence, this study aims to verify the role positive and negative emotions play in the link between CDBE and tourists’ loyalty in a safe and joyful tourism destination in Europe. Design/methodology/approach – A conceptual model was tested using data collected from tourists visiting the Algarve region, a mature seaside tourism destination in southern Portugal. The relationships implicit in the model were tested through the partial least squares structural equation modelling method. Findings – The findings highlight that positive and negative tourist’s emotional responses mediate the relationship between CDBE and loyalty. Moreover, tourists’ experience and loyalty are influenced by their positive and negative emotions. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed. Originality/value – Leveraged on extant research gaps, this study contributes to deepening the existing tourism literature by discussing whether CDBE affect tourists’ loyalty and emotions and whether these positive and negative emotions mediate that relationship in the context of a highly appraised touristic destination in Europe.
- Destination marketing organisations: envisioning a regenerative tourism operating modelPublication . Crabolu, Gloria; Torres-Delgado, Anna; Ribeiro, Manuel AlectorThis study critically evaluates Destination marketing organisations (DMOs) within the paradigm of regenerative tourism, shifting from conventional operating models primarily centred on marketing and economic growth to a regenerative-oriented framework. Building on the scarce tourism transition literature, this study integrates participatory normative scenario-building with the Three-Horizons framework in workshops with 26 DMO managers. It examines current DMO activities, identifies key operating characteristics, and explores how these align with either traditional or regenerative approaches. The findings highlight a need for DMOs to broaden their activities beyond traditional promotion, to include stewardship, management and regenerative marketing. Theoretically, this study contributes to advancing the understanding of regenerative tourism within DMOs, helping bridge the gap between its theoretical foundations and real-world practice. Methodologically, it provides a replicable and adaptable tool for participatory foresight in tourism governance. It contributes a manifesto offering actionable pathways to guide policymakers and DMOs in transitioning towards regenerative tourism futures.
- Editorial 49Publication . Baião Gato, Maria Assunção; Cruz, Ana RitaIssue 49 of CIDADES, Comunidades e Territórios (CITIES, Communities and Territories) features a thematic dossier titled “Between the digital and the urban: readings of the changing space” coordinated by Isabel Carvalho, Sílvia Leiria Viegas, Adriana Nascimento, and Tamara Egler. Digital media are increasingly reshaping how urban life is experienced, represented, and studied. This dossier offers a glimpse into these transformations through 6 articles, 2 essays, and 3 additional contributions exploring the relationship between technology, art and politics. Overall, the authors reflect on how technopower and polarization dynamics take place, namely with reference to a few case studies, while discussing how urban resistance and reconfiguration can be organized around collective initiatives and social movements. These contributions underscore how digital media can enable new forms of knowledge production and civic engagement, inviting researchers to reconsider the boundaries between analysis, intervention, and collaboration in contemporary urban studies.
- The effect of pre-trip virtual reality and on-site smart device use on accessible tourism experiencesPublication . Chan, Chung-Shing; Wong, Shing Yan; Agapito, Dora Lúcia Miguel; Tam, VeledaThis study investigates the contribution of pre-visit virtual reality (VR) experiences and the use of smart devices (SDs) in enhancing accessible tourism for visitors with hearing loss at Yim Tin Tsai Island, a rural destination in Hong Kong. A total of 163 participants, including 78 individuals with varying degrees of hearing impairment and 85 persons without reported disabilities, participated in a self-guided visit. They were randomly assigned to four groups based on whether a VR experience was provided before the visit and whether SDs were used during the visit. Post-visit focus group discussions explored challenges faced, solutions proposed, and perceptions of VR and SD applications. The findings suggest that while VR and SDs offer practical and emotional benefits, visitors with hearing loss do not perceive them as particularly effective in overcoming barriers or significantly enhancing their experiences on the island. Recommendations proposed to improve tourism experiences of visitors with hearing loss include the provision of a multi-sensory environment and information supplementing the visit in VR experiences, as well as adopting a non-intrusive and intuitive approach in presenting information on smart devices.
- Factors shaping spectators’ consumption patterns: controversial arisings from an international sport tourism eventPublication . Mascarenhas, Margarida; Vieira, Henrique; Martins, RutePurpose – Sport events’ contribution to the destinations’ local economy implies in-depth knowledge of the economic benefits generated by non-resident spectators (NRS). Thus, this study aims to answer: What is the profile and shaping factors of the consumption patterns of the several types of NRS in international surf tourism events? Design/methodology/approach – A total of 263 questionnaires applied to the NRS of an international surf event were collected and analysed. The identification of the NRS profile and the predictive factors of their total expenditure were performed through the correlation of factors and multiple linear regression, respectively. Findings – Mostly, the event attracted generation Y NRS, with a high level of education and regular sport practice. The results showed differences among the NRS: the ‘‘casuals’’ included more women than men; the ‘‘extensioners’’ integrated the NRS whose surfing practice is higher; the ‘‘event visitors’’/’’time switchers’’ mostly integrated the domestic tourism flows; the ‘‘casuals’’ and ‘‘extensioners’’ spent the most at the destination, and those whose intention to recommend/revisit the destination, respectively, was higher; and the shaping factor that most influenced the increase in NRS expenditure was the overnight stay, added by older age, higher education level and foreign origin. Originality/value – Regardless of the initial motivation that led to the trip to the destination, the results verified that the event’s attributes are capable of contributing to the recommendation/visitation of the destination. Consequently, the study of economic benefits (tangible and intangible) provided by sport events in destinations should be guided by an integrative analysis of NRS.
- From destination attributes to tourist satisfaction: novelty-seeking as a bridge between liminality and place attachmentPublication . Lança, Milene; Nobre Pereira, Luis; Silva, joão; Andraz, Jorge; Cunha Sousa Nunes, Rui JoséThis study analyses how destination attributes influence tourist satisfaction via perceived quality, price, and safety, and how these relationships differ by novelty-seeking orientation. Framed at the intersection of liminality and place attachment, novelty-seeking is conceptualised as the behavioural mechanism linking extraordinary experiences to emotional bonds with place, offering the first empirical integration of these frameworks in tourism research. Using data from 1,488 tourists visiting the Algarve (Portugal) in 2022–2023 and Partial Least Squares Multigroup Analysis (PLS-MGA), the results show that for conservative tourists, destination attributes enhance perceived quality, lower perceived prices and safety concerns, and increase satisfaction. For adventurous tourists, satisfaction is driven mainly by perceived price and is negatively affected by in situ safety concerns, indicating that novelty-seekers do not uniformly discount risk. The findings highlight how novelty-seeking conditions cognitive pathways to satisfaction and inform market segmentation strategies aligned with distinct motivational orientations.
