  • Analyzing the suitability of the strategic economic leverage developed in non‐nega‐sport tourism events to the spectator profile
    Publication . Mascarenhas, Margarida; Carvalho, Henrique; Pereira, Elsa; Martins, Rute
    To maximize the economic benefits, a priori, the destination’s strategic objectives must be defined, and the design of actions to achieve them through the event must be planned, implemented, and analyzed. Therefore, this investigation aimed to analyze the strategic economic leverage developed for two international open water events considering the profile of their nonresident spectators (NRS). This study adopted a mixed research methodology, performing a qualitative and quantitative analysis. Data collection combined documental research, direct observation, semistructured interviews, and questionnaires. The actions implemented in the events covered the short- and long-term economic strategic objectives. Yet, none of the events’ attributes was associated with NRS’ city recommendation. Additionally, accommodation and food/beverage categories concentrated most of NRS’ expenditures. To activate NRS’ spending in entertainment and local commerce, more creativity is needed than the simple distribution of tourist services information. Also, strategic economic leverage should design actions to increase local companies networking, and develop programs to extend the spectators’ stay through a bundling approach, amplifying the activation of the local resources. This study combined the organizational perspective of strategic economic leverage and the profile of NRS, allowing a more comprehensive knowledge to create strategies consistent with the specificities of NRS’ consumption.

  • Beyond the rhetoric of “sustainable aviation”: a counterfactual confrontation
    Publication . Gössling, Stefan; Hopkins, Debbie; Schweiggart, Nadja; Cohen, Scott; Cocolas, Nicole; Higham, James
    Amid 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: wine tourism in the sector
    Publication . Gómez-Carmona, Diego; Marín-Dueñas, Pedro Pablo; Correia, Marisol B.; Escobar, Marta Toribio; de Matos, Nelson Manuel da Silva; Cruces-Montes, Serafín Jesús
    The term “wine tourism” was first used in 90’s from Australia. The definition of ecotourism has been studied by many academics throughout its history, reaching the conclusion that it is the activities carried out by people outside their usual environment in a given period of time related to the viticulture of the environment and wine. This study aims to enhance knowledge in the wine tourism field by employing bibliometric methods to quantitatively analyze its evolution over the past two decades. This analysis shows that from 2019 onwards, publications increased considerably, reaching a peak in 2020, mostly (linking with COVID-19 lockdown). In the areas of geography and economics, as research in the area of tourism is still very recent. The conceptual analysis shows the variety of terms used by researchers and how they have evolved over time, the most commonly used being "touristic" and "vineyard", with others appearing such as "meal" connected to "winery waste" or "tourism development", which are more akin to current management.

  • Broadening tourism experience and destination image
    Publication . Martins Guerreiro, Maria Manuela; Pinto, Patrícia; Bagheri, Fatemeh; de Matos, Nelson Manuel da Silva
    Although previous studies deal with tourism experience, destination image and related outcomes, this study innovates by elaborating on a more comprehensive view of the tourism experience and destination image. Guided by suggestions for more research in the relevant literature, this study examines the correlation between tourism experience, experiential destination image, tourism memory, satisfaction and loyalty and explores domestic and international tourists. The data were collected from tourists visiting the Algarve, Portugal, in 2021. A multi-group analysis determined the main differences between domestic and international tourists. The results show that the tourist experience has five dimensions: active learning, emotional engagement, passive entertainment, immersive escape, and aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, tourism experiences of both domestic and international tourists positively affect the cognitive image of the Algarve. There is a significant difference among domestic and international tourists regarding the impact of tourism memory on tourists' loyalty. Theoretical and managerial implications, limitations, and potential directions for future research are discussed.

  • Certification, maintenance and decertification of standardised innovation management systems: Motivations, barriers and benefits
    Publication . Mendes de Saboya , Liana; Candido, Carlos Joaquim Farias; Cesário, Marisa
    The 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.

  • Challenges for tourism-related lifestyle migrant entrepreneurship in rural areas of the Algarve, Portugal
    Publication . Torkington, Kate; Eimermann, Marco; Perdigão Alexandre Ribeiro, Filipa; Conceição, Susana
    Many rural areas in southern Europe have long suffered from outward migration but have recently been attracting new types of in-migration. This includes lifestyle migrant entrepreneurs (LMEs) seeking ways of improving their own quality of life and, at the same time, bringing new projects which aim to build on the potential and resources for rural tourism in their chosen destination place. Drawing on data from in-depth research interviews with LMEs and other stakeholders, this article stems from a research project focused on exploring tourism-related entrepreneurial lifestyle migration in the rural Algarve, in southern Portugal. Although this type of migration has often been identified as a potential driver for the sustainable development of both tourism activities and rural areas, this study focuses on the challenges identified, principally by the LMEs themselves, as regards the setting up, operationalisation and continuing activities of tourism-related businesses in rural areas of the Algarve. A variety of challenges were detected, at the micro-, meso- and macro-levels of the entrepreneurial migration process. The most recurrent problem faced is the level of bureaucracy and the difficulties encountered in legal processes. Although this is sometimes due to the language barrier, it is also related to the lack of clear information on procedures and the lack of specialised support. This finding points to the need for a greater level of cooperation and communication among the various stakeholders to ensure a more sustainable development of tourism in these rural areas.

  • Culture to commitment: hr blueprint for sustainable hospitality-tourism academia growth
    Publication . Sahoo, Debasis; Sinha, Satyajit; Ghaderi, Zahed; Bagheri, Fatemeh
    This study examines the relationship between organizational culture (OCu), job satisfaction (JBS), and organizational commitment (OCo) in Indian hospitality and tourism higher education institutions (HEIs) using the OCTAPACE framework. Grounded in Social Exchange, Organizational Support, and OCu theories, it assesses cultural influences on commitment directly and via JBS. Data from 386 teaching and non-teaching staff were collected through stratified purposive sampling, using validated scales and acknowledging limitations from the lack of a central database. Analysis employed Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). Results show that OCu significantly enhances JBS and commitment, with JBS partially mediating this link. Findings offer actionable insights for HR policy, leadership strategies, and employee retention in service-oriented academic contexts.

  • Customer destination-based experience and loyalty: exploring the role of tourists’ emotions
    Publication . Piedade, David; Martins Guerreiro, Maria Manuela; Pinto, Patrícia
    Purpose – 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 model
    Publication . Crabolu, Gloria; Torres-Delgado, Anna; Ribeiro, Manuel Alector
    This 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.
