- Intentional sustainable communities and sustainable development goals: from micro-scale implementation to scalability of innovative practicesPublication . Nogueira, Carla; Marques, João Filipe; Pinto, HugoIntentional sustainable communities (ISCs) are commonly described as micro-based community initiatives that seek to develop sustainable lifestyles with low environmental impact. More recently, they have been analyzed as laboratories for the emergence of innovation, namely social innovation, and as actors that can contribute to sustainable transitions. This reinforces their role as pressure agents and as microscale communities of practice. Theoretically, it is argued that this scalability of innovation dynamics requires a multi-level and multi-actor perspective, mechanisms of reciprocity and that actors are not isolated and atomized. These mechanisms, such as networks, are crucial for the dissemination of sustainability practices and for increasing their potential impact. This article argues that these communities can also be important micro agents in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to mainstream the importance of scaling their innovation practices. To this end, the study uses quantitative data from a survey applied to the ISCs in Europe. The data corroborates the communities’ contribution to the SDGs, namely to SDG12, SDG13 and SDG16 and presents the collaboration network structure established within these communities.
- Determinants of readiness for strategic value co-creation in hospitality and tourism organisationsPublication . Cloarec, David; Ribeiro, Manuel Alector; Font, XavierThis paper examines how servant leadership influences an organisation’s readiness for strategic value co-creation through service climate, innovation climate, locus of control and self-efficacy. A model that draws on servant leadership and social cognitive theories is tested by surveying 222 hospitality and tourism business managers operating in France and the UK, and the data is analysed with structural equation modelling and ordinary least squares. The study contributes to personality research showing that servant leadership practices influence a manager’s internal locus of control and self-efficacy. We demonstrate that service climate and innovation climate mediate between servant leadership and readiness for strategic value co-creation, and moderate between a manager’s beliefs and the firm’s readiness for strategic value co-creation. The findings show that servant leadership has a stronger effect on innovation climate than on service climate, and that innovation climate has more influence on readiness for strategic value co-creation than on service climate.
- Rural residents’ social distance with tourists: an affective interpretationPublication . Woosnam, Kyle Maurice; Joo, Dongoh; Ribeiro, Manuel Alector; Gaither, Cassandra Johnson; Sánchez, José J.; Brooks, RobertThis study examined the role of basic (i.e. positive and negative) and complex (i.e. emotional solidarity) emotions in explaining residents’ preference for both intimate and casual social encounters (i.e. social distance) with tourists. Considering a burgeoning rural destination in the U.S., known for its natural and cultural amenities, data were collected on-site and online from 511 residents. A two-step sequence of analysis (i.e. confirmatory factor analysis followed by structural equation modelling) was undertaken to test 12 hypotheses within a proposed conceptual model. Eight hypotheses were supported; three of those not supported involved negative emotions as antecedents to emotional solidarity. A high degree of variance was explained in emotional solidarity and social distance. Implications and recommendations are also discussed.
- Storytelling in heritage tourism: an exploration of co-creative experiences from a tourist perspectivePublication . Campos, Ana Cláudia; Martins Guerreiro, Maria Manuela; Beevor, Meghan C.Storytelling has been posited as a co-creative tool to increase visitor engagement and experience memorability. However, a lack of knowledge exists regarding its role, implementation and impact in museum and heritage tourism settings. This exploratory work investigates how it applies in these settings. A storytelling tour was implemented at the Islamic Museum of Tavira, Portugal. Methodologically, this study adopted a qualitative approach, using the focus groups method. Three groups of participants were invited to participate and then data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Results show the impact of storytelling on visitors’ emotional engagement, imagination and memorability. From this study’s findings, a conceptual model of the heritage experience integrating storytelling is proposed to support the design of heritage experiences at museums. Moreover, future research is recommended on digital technology and multi-media application in the heritage experience, and also on causal relationships between storytelling and other elements of heritage experiences.
- Visual imagery and storytelling on social media platforms: the case of VanlifePublication . Muhs, Christina Susanne; Agapito, Dora Lúcia Miguel; Nobre Pereira, LuisPurpose – This study aims to produce insights into understanding the growing travel phenomenon Vanlife by examining user-generated content (UGC). The study strives to acknowledge the increasing number of Vanlife visitors, describe the essential aspects of the experience and develop typologies based on analysed social media. The study also proposes a Vanlife life cycle that illustrates the online and offline behaviours of Vanlifer’s journey stages. Design/methodology/approach – With a definition of Vanlife from a tourism perspective only being coined in 2024, there is still a lack of understanding of the travel type, its segments and their lifestyle executions. This research presents a counter-narrative to studies concentrating on Instagram’s highly curated, picturesque Vanlife content. The research applies a netnographic approach by analysing UGC through images and stories shared under #Vanlife on Facebook, YouTube and Reddit. A selection of online traces, images, visuals and videos are qualitatively analysed by applying the netnographic movements immersion and investigation. Visual and text-based data is coded in two steps: to recognise emerging thematic and narrative themes. Findings – The netnographic analysis highlights the Vanlife themes shared on Facebook, YouTube and Reddit and provides a different narrative to the often-picture-perfect portrayed Instagram image. The uncovered themes informed the development of typologies per social media and a suggested Vanlife life cycle. Research limitations/implications – Due to the exploratory nature of the analysis, the results may be used as a first insight into the various types of Vanlife practitioners. Further study is needed to probe the findings in an offline setting. Furthermore, investigating short-term Vanlife travellers is advised as little UGC content produced by short-term Van travellers was identified in this study. Practical implications – The findings may be suitable markers for academic inquiry on Vanlife from a tourism perspective. Furthermore, they may benefit destinations frequented by this traveller type to curate their tourism offer by tailoring overnight parking locations to meet Vanlifer’s needs. The results may guide decision-makers in implementing solutions to address issues reported by Vanlife practitioners on social media platforms, thereby improving the reputation of the tourism destination. Originality/value – This innovative study provides insights into the visual representations of Vanlifers by analysing UGC posted on dominant but under-researched social media sites. Studying online traces generated by Vanlifers, excluding promotional or paid travel influencer content, enables a better understanding of the ever-growing travel phenomenon. In turn, this will enable tourism destinations and organisations frequented by or attracting Vanlifers to adjust their offer to cater to such travellers better.
- Decentralizing sport management: a conceptual model for utilizing decentralized autonomous organizations in sports clubsPublication . Principe, Vitor; Ribeiro, Tiago; Santo, Wescisley Ribeiro do Espírito; Vale, Rodrigo Gomes de Souza; Nunes, Rodoldo de Alkmim MoreiraThis study examines the innovative application of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) within the sports management sector, leveraging blockchain technology to enable more transparent and inclusive governance. This paper explores how DAOs can disrupt traditional governance structures through the democratic participation of fans and stakeholders. It emphasizes the potential of DAOs to facilitate collaborative governance in line with the four modes of governance framework: chief, clan, custodian, and consortium. By dissecting decentralized governance models, the paper discusses how DAOs can transform traditional structures, enabling more democratic fan participation in sport club decisions. The research highlights such innovations’ economic, social, and environmental benefits with real-world examples of DAO implementations in sports organizations. Additionally, the study proposes a conceptual model for integrating DAOs into sports clubs, optimizing resource management, enhancing fan engagement, and aligning club operations with the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria. This conceptual model is a foundation for future research and practical applications in the sports management field.
- Human branding in political marketing: a systematic literature review and agenda for future researchPublication . Soares, Vitor Reis; Rodriguez y Rodriguez, Martius Vicente; Montalvão, Sérgio de Sousa; Martins Rodrigues, Maria Carolina; Oliveira, Antonio Batista da SilvaWhen Speed, Butler, and Collins introduced the theory of human brands into the field of political marketing, the topic garnered increasing interest from researchers. As a result of this growing academic attention, it became essential to update key concepts and clarify emerging terminologies in order to advance the conceptual and theoretical understanding of this evolving literature. To address this need, we conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) to identify the theories, research contexts, characteristics, and methodological approaches explored within the domain. Through this review, we modernized fundamental concepts such as authority, authenticity, humanization, and positioning. Furthermore, building on the theory of political brands and contributions related to human brands, we propose a basic definition of the human brand in politics. As the first SLR in this area, this paper serves as both a guide for marketing professionals developing human brands and a resource for researchers. It provides guidance on conducting an SLR and highlights future research directions, presenting a forward-looking agenda with 16 potential avenues for addressing existing gaps in the field.
- Transformative blockchain technological approaches to sports eventsPublication . Principe, Vitor; Ribeiro, Tiago; López-Carril, SamuelThe integration of blockchain technology in sports event management represents a significant shift towards more decentralized and efficient governance structures, particularly relevant to small and medium-sized events. Despite growing interest, its practical implementation remains limited and lacks comprehensive theoretical guidance. This study addresses this gap by proposing an integrated theoretical framework, combining the Dynamic Capabilities Framework (DCF), Collaborative Governance Theory (CGT), and the Four Modes of Governance (FMG), to systematically explore blockchain’s application within sports event management. Our analysis reveals that blockchain technology can effectively foster transparency, efficiency, and enhanced stakeholder participation through Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs). These advantages are realized through key mechanisms of access, control, and incentives, which interact across external environments, governance structures, and blockchain core infrastructure. Furthermore, the study identifies critical managerial implications necessary for successful blockchain implementation, emphasizing strategic infrastructure assessments, stakeholder engagement, and risk management protocols. Ultimately, this research contributes both theoretical insights and practical guidelines, addressing existing knowledge gaps and providing a structured framework for leveraging blockchain in managing small to mediumsized sports events.
- Hosting eSports events: the quality-response-behavioural intentions relationship of eSports fansPublication . Cerqueira, Luís; Ribeiro, Tiago; Almeida, Victor Manoel Cunha deIntroduction: The current study aims to explore how the physical environment of eSports events can influence fan affective responses and their future behavioral intentions. Following the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) model, affective response (pleasure) is conceptualized as the organism (mediator) between the physical environment (stimulus) and behavioral intentions (response). Method: The dependent variables were revisit intention and word-of mouth, while demographic factors including age, education level, nationality, and event attendance to describe the sample and examine their potential influence. Data collection was carried out at a “Lisboa Games Week” event (n = 328) by using a self-administered questionnaire. A Confirmatory Factor Analysis analyzed the psychometric properties of the constructs and a subsequent Structural Equation Modelling examined the substantive hypotheses tested. Results: Results indicate that the physical environment quality positively influences the affective responses of fans, which motivates them to follow eSports events. Furthermore, fans affectively attached to an eSports event are more intent on revisiting it and making word-of-mouth recommendations about it. Discussion: A high standard service quality is a critical issue for event managers, marketeers, and publishers due to its impact on the behavioral and affective value creation towards the event.
- Cocreation of the tourism experience at international sport tourism eventsPublication . Mascarenhas, Margarida; Alves, Joana; Pereira, Elsa; Martins, RuteThe cocreation of the tourist experience in sporting events has received little scientific attention. This study aimed to analyze the influence of cocreation of the tourist experience on the memorability of the experience through the attention and involvement of sporting event tourists, and to verify whether this influence changes with the type of experience (i.e., active participant vs. spectator). A total of 356 questionnaires was collected at two international cycling events held in Portugal in 2021. The data were analyzed with structural equation analysis and a Mann–Whitney test. Cocreation influences attention and involvement, which, in turn, help to explain the relationship between cocreation and memorability, highlighting differences between the two types of experience. For the first time, the on-site cocreation model was applied to sport tourism events. In this touristic context, experiences must be developed through a customized approach based on the creation of hedonic and eudaimonic experiences.
