- 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.
- Business intelligence applied to tourismPublication . Ramos, CeliaBusiness intelligence is a set of tools, technologies, and operations that enable a company to collect and present valuable data for a tourism organization in dashboards or reports with insightful information, complementing data mining algorithms to produce insights about the business. This environment permits insights into customers' actual needs and preferences and contributes to offering the best tourism experience following the tourist profile and at the same time to identify and develop products and services personalized to tourism customers.
- Certification, maintenance and decertification of standardised innovation management systems: Motivations, barriers and benefitsPublication . Mendes de Saboya , Liana; Candido, Carlos Joaquim Farias; Cesário, MarisaThe role of standardised innovation management systems (SIMS) in fostering organisational innovation has been largely overlooked in the literature. This study addresses this gap by investigating the certification, maintenance, and decertification of SIMS. Using a descriptive and inductive methodology, the research analyses primary data from 94 Portuguese organisations with certified SIMS. The findings reveal a strong prevalence of internal motivations for certification, low implementation obstacles, and significant benefits, suggesting that these firms have successfully internalised the SIMS standard into their innovation management processes. Maintenance motivations are also strong, particularly internal ones, which align well with the critical success factors for sustaining certification. The benefits of maintaining SIMS are substantial, particularly internal benefits, as initial external motivations for certification often evolve into internal maintenance motivations. Decertification motivations and propensity are weak among the sample firms. Expectations of negative performance impacts following potential decertification are also low, likely because these organisations have effectively internalised the SIMS standard. This study is the first to explore the maintenance and decertification of SIMS, providing evidence that SIMS can deliver substantial benefits, be efficiently maintained, and continuously enhance innovation and competitiveness. As a result, most organisations exhibit little interest in decertification. The findings offer significant contributions to research and provide actionable insights for practitioners, suggesting that innovation management systems can indeed be standardised with considerable benefits.
- 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.
- 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.
