While posting travel selfies on social media, many tourists strategically attempt to adjust them to better portray their images by excluding destination attributes, thus manifesting narcissism. Following the inductive research approach, based on in-depth interviews conducted with 27 tourists, this paper explores how travel selfies and tourists' desire for narcissism create challenges to destination marketing. The findings indicate a growing tendency among tourists to capture themselves in travel selfies while excluding unique and attractive destination attributes or shifting them to the side of the photograph, thus diluting the attention toward tourist destinations. This paper suggests several managerial implications for tourism practitioners on strategically marketing tourist destinations using tourists' selfie posting behaviour.
The effects of free choice feeding of bone meal (BM) of different particle sizes on performance and egg quality traits of layer chickens were assessed. A total of 128 Hy-line White layers (56 wks old, BW ± SD: 1500 ± 18 g) were assigned randomly into 16 cages of 8 birds each. Four dietary treatments based on BM particle sizes (Layer Diet/Control; Layer diet + 1-2 mm BM; Layer diet + 2-3 mm BM; Layer diet + 3-4 mm BM) were choice fed for five weeks. Dry matter (DM), calcium (Ca), total phosphorus (TP), ash content, particle size distribution and in vitro solubility of BM were tested. The birds' performance and external and inernal egg quality traits were examined over a 5 wk period. The DM, Ca, TP and ash content of BM were 893, 79, 44 and 476 g/kg, respectively. The geometric mean diameter (GMD) and the geometric standard deviation (GSD) of BM were 1.7 and 1.6 mm, respectively. In vitro solubility of 1-2 mm, 2-3 mm and 3-4 mm BM particles were 56.3, 47.5 and 39.8%, respectively. Bone meal, when choice fed, increased BM intake, Ca intake, and laying percentage, and reduced damaged egg percentage. Birds fed with BM having 2-3 mm particles performed best in improving the performance and egg quality. Bone meal significantly (p < 0.05) improved the egg shell thickness with maximum thickness recorded from birds fed with BM of 2-3 mm particle size. BM with 2-3 and 3-4 mm particles improved (p < 0.05) shell ratio and unit surface shell weight. The present study concluded that feeding with BM with 2-3 mm particle size is the best to improve the overall performance and egg quality traits of layer chickens.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
