- Super typhoon vs. earthquake as driving force of forest succession in a subtropical tectonically active regionPublication . DOI, Ryoichi; Panagopoulos, ThomasThis study compared the effects of super typhoons and earthquakes on forest succession at the slopes of the Rokko Mountains in Japan. According to changes in the enhanced vegetation index (EVI), the super typhoon in 1991 caused severe, widespread damage to topographically distinct forest stands across the mountains. A major earthquake in 1995 with a magnitude of Mj = 7.2 caused moderate effects on the EVI. The 1994 super typhoon and the 1995 major earthquake exhibited similar spatial damage patterns, with impacts concentrated on the northern slopes. Although the 2018 super typhoon recorded higher wind speeds, there was no reduction in forest stands across the mountains, indicating an increase in forest resilience. Nevertheless, detailed observations revealed localized, patchy impacts in 2018, specifically the death of some evergreen trees on the northern slopes. The 1991 typhoon diminished up to 14% (conf. int. 95%: ±3%) of the pre-typhoon EVI values for the most negatively affected forest stands. Hence, the typhoons were thought to be the primary driving force that accelerated the forest succession by eliminating vulnerable trees. This elimination enhanced the increasing dominance of broadleaved evergreen laurel tree species, which are known to have stronger root systems than the vulnerable conifers. In addition, it was revealed for the first time that multiple vegetation types on slopes under the same topographical conditions were commonly damaged by multiple super typhoons within a 27-year period, during which typhoon-enhanced forest succession was strongly pronounced. The findings offer beneficial prospects for proactive climate-resilient forest management and disaster mitigation strategies tailored to slope-specific vulnerabilities. This study is the first to compare the effects of super typhoons and a major earthquake on forest stands.
- Adaptation and validation of the bern illegitimate tasks scale (BITS) in the context of a portuguese public universityPublication . Vieira dos Santos, Joana; Marques, Mariana; Sousa, Cátia; Gomes, Alexandra; Lopes, Luis FelipeIllegitimate tasks are assignments that threaten professional identity by not being related to the intrinsic quality or morality of the main profession. This concept has gained attention within the Stress as Offense to Self (SOS) theory, which emphasizes the impact of selfesteem in stressful situations, particularly in the workplace. The SOS theory suggests that self-esteem plays a critical role in how individuals respond to stress: when self-esteem is threatened, it triggers adverse reactions affecting mental, physical, and behavioral dimensions; conversely, strengthening self-esteem promotes well-being. Illegitimate tasks are perceived as unnecessary or unreasonable, varying by profession and non-voluntary in nature, leading to a lack of purpose and meaning for the employee. The Bern Illegitimate Tasks Scale (BITS) was created to assess and quantify these tasks, demonstrating robust psychometric properties across different languages and cultural contexts, including Spanish, Swedish, and Portuguese adaptations. This study aims to translate and adapt the BITS for a public university context characterized by bureaucratic culture. The sample comprises 601 participants from a Portuguese public higher education institution. The translation process followed rigorous procedures to ensure equivalence between the original and Portuguese versions. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and internal consistency analysis, revealing satisfactory fit indices and high reliability. Despite contextual limitations, the findings affirm the reliability of the adapted scale for application in similar contexts. Future research should aim for more representative samples to enhance generalizability.
- Sentiments and flavors: An approach to gastronomic innovation in the AlgarvePublication . Ramos, Celia; Dionísio Serra, Manuel António; Rodrigues Gonçalves, AlexandraThis study explores how the Mediterranean Diet, recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage, can be leveraged innovatively to enhance the sustainability of the Algarve as a tourism destination. The objective is to identify and valorize local resources aligned with the Mediterranean dietary pattern to create new gastronomic experiences that appeal to tourists and support regional development. METHODOLOGY: A mixed-methods approach was adopted. Sentiment analysis was conducted on enogastronomic experiences shared on social media to understand tourists’ perceptions and preferences. This was complemented by a Delphi-based focus group with regional experts to co-create and evaluate innovative culinary proposals. Finally, a gastronomic experience was implemented in a local restaurant to test the developed products. FINDINGS: The sentiment analysis revealed key emotional and experiential factors that shape tourist satisfaction. Based on these insights, five innovative appetizers were developed and tested, demonstrating above-average levels of appreciation and potential for economic valorization. IMPLICATIONS: The study contributes to the theoretical understanding of how intangible cultural heritage can be operationalized in tourism innovation. Practically, it offers an exploratory framework for integrating local gastronomy into sustainable tourism strategies, which requires further validation in larger-scale settings. ORIGINALITY AND VALUE: This research uniquely combines digital sentiment analysis with participatory culinary innovation, offering a novel interdisciplinary approach to enhancing gastronomic tourism through the Mediterranean Diet. The findings should be interpreted as exploratory and hypothesis-generating rather than definitive.

- The representation of Luxury Wine Hotels on the social network FacebookPublication . Cabeça, Diana; Afonso, Carlos; Dionísio Serra, Manuel António; Ramos, CeliaSocial networks are now integral to corporate strategy and daily social life. They enable the rapid and extensive dissemination of information, proving highly effective for promoting hotel marketing content. Consequently, they facilitate interaction and engagement between hotels and their customers, serving both advertising and evaluation purposes. This study aims to analyse the use of the Facebook social network by luxury wine hotels located in countries associated with the Mediterranean Diet. An analytical model examining the variables of content, interactivity, and visibility was employed. A total of 17 luxury hotel pages were analysed, with data collected using the Karma Fanpage platform, an online tool for social media analysis and monitoring. The findings indicate that the majority of profile posts were photographs, and that this format generated the highest number of user reactions. It is recommended that hotels publish more photographic content to foster greater engagement and conduct further analysis of the specific types of posts that elicit the most reactions.
- Review of the well-being agenda in small island states: challenges to measuring tourism employee well-beingPublication . Puig-Cabrera, Miguel; Movono, Apisalome; Scheyvens, ReginaA holistic agenda for sustainable human development of tourism is lacking in Small Island States (SIS). The main goal of this research is to provide an integrative framework for measuring employee well-being in tourism-dependent SIS. The first part of this research is based on a review of the literature on employee well-being measurement in the tourism sector. Then we present a multi-level model of sustainable human development in tourism, distinguishing three levels of employee well-being. The second part of this article focuses on the fieldwork and expertise of the authors on well-being measurement in five SIS during 2019-2022. Thus, we provide a framework for measuring employee well-being in SIS by conducting a comprehensive diagnosis of islanders’ workplace conditions and well-being.
- Digital intimacies in motion: redefining sex in tourismPublication . Qiu, XuDong (Oliver); Cohen, Scott; Skinner, JonathanThis paper redefines sex in tourism by introducing cyber-sexual leisure - digitally mediated and emotionally ambivalent erotic engagements that unfold through platforms like Grindr during travel. Drawing on interviews with queer male tourists, we examine how fragmented, gamified, and affectively ambivalent interactions produce symbolic erotic pleasure, even in the absence of physical sex. Moving beyond outcome-oriented and corporeal understandings, sexual experience is conceptualised as a processual continuum encompassing anticipation, interaction, and emotional aftermath. A recursive model is proposed comprising four stages: digital engagement, affective and erotic investment, emotional and/or physical outcomes, and re-engagement or withdrawal. These dynamics are intensified by tourism conditions - mobility, anonymity, novelty, and compressed time - while also shaped by inequalities structuring visibility, desirability, and vulnerability in contemporary tourism.
- 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.
- Integrating traditional knowledge into tourism climate policy: exploring feasibility and benefits in Iran’s world heritage sitesPublication . Esfehani, Minoo; Ghaderi, Zahed; Bagheri, Fatemeh; Hatamifar, PezhmanTraditional knowledge, despite its recognized socio-ecological value, is often underestimated or excluded from climate policies, particularly within tourism contexts. Using qualitative research, this study employed purposive sampling to interview 16 participants to explore (a) the feasibility of integrating traditional knowledge into tourism climate policy in World Heritage Sites and (b) the potential benefits of such integration. Findings show that traditional knowledge can strengthen site resilience, support participatory management, and enhance climate capacity in both theory and practice, though several challenges remain. Theoretically, and grounded in environmental sociology, the study advances the current understanding of the sociocultural dimensions of tourism climate governance and advocates for epistemological pluralism and more inclusive policies that incorporate diverse knowledge systems. Practically, the evidence-based findings suggest that tourism policy should prioritize the application of community-rooted knowledge and practices, develop context-sensitive guidelines to integrate multiple knowledge systems into tourism climate actions, and disseminate effective methodologies and practices.
- Holisticscape dimensions of the tourism experience in wellness spas: Evidence from PortugalPublication . Valente Pedro, Cristina; de Matos, Nelson Manuel da Silva; Pinto, PatríciaThe present study examines how tourists’ experiences in wellness spas promote holistic health through the Holisticscape framework from both tourists’ and other stakeholders’ perspectives, an extension of the servicescape that encompasses the ambience, social, activity, body, mind, and spirit dimensions. An ex-ploratory, multi-stakeholder qualitative design was employed, with 20 in-depth interviews conducted inwellness spas in Portugal. Thematic analysis revealed that ambience, social relations, activity, body, mind, and spiritual stimuli support tourists’ holistic health. These findings extend existing research on servicescape and experiencescape by demonstrating how multidimensional experiential stimuli interact to produce holistic health in wellness spa settings. The study offers practical implications for designing immersive and health-oriented environments, enhancing service customisation, and integrating cultural and natural resources intowellness spa offerings. Given its exploratory and context-bound nature, it is recommended that further research be conducted to validate Holisticscape dimensions across a range of wellness spas at distinct destinations. Furthermore, the development of measurement tools for future quantitative investigations is recommended.
