“…The lack of conclusive findings in related academic fields can be attributed to the scarcity of studies exploring the factors that significantly influence the acceptance intention of airport biometric systems although a few exist (e.g., [10,13,21,22]). Also, travel behaviors have undergone significant changes in response to COVID-19 [23][24][25]. As we prepare for the post-pandemic era, it is important to establish precise strategies by identifying the factors that influence the adoption of airport biometric systems.…”

After the pandemic, there has been an increasing emphasis on customer convenience, with biometrics emerging as a key solution. This study empirically investigates the intention of Korean travelers to use airport biometric systems. The technology acceptance model (TAM) was employed to explore users’ perceptions of the system’s functional aspects, while technology familiarity, social influence, and trust in information protection were integrated into the model to understand users’ psychological aspects. The results reveal that perceived usefulness and ease of use have a positive relationship with the intention to use the biometric system and that perceived ease of use positively influences perceived usefulness. The impact of social influence and technology familiarity was not statistically significant but trust emerged as the most influential factor determining the intention to use the system. Furthermore, the study identified that gender moderates the effect of trust on the intention to use. This study contributes by identifying key determinants for airport biometric system adoption and by investigating the moderating influence of gender. As a primary result, airport biometric systems must have effective functionality and a user-friendly passenger environment while ensuring confidence in system security. These findings have significant implications for the sustainable implementation of airport biometric systems.

The main goal of this study is to analyse the types of hackers and cyberattacks in the aviation industry, to enhance cybersecurity in the air sector. This manuscript has identified 12 different typologies of hackers in the aviation context. First, those hackers who exercise responsibility in proper, effective, ethical, and good practices to improve the safety of citizens and organizations, such as white unicorns, red, blue, green, and nation sponsored hackers. And second, those hackers that are developing and using cyberattacks with bad practices to provoke serious material damage to public and private organizations, consumers, or even terrorist acts to kill people, including black, nation-state, cyberterrorist, whistle-blower, hacktivist, script kiddie, and gray hackers. Furthermore, findings reveal 54 cyberattacks documented in the period analysed (2000 – January 2024). Of the total cyberattacks in the period analysed, 35 were perpetrated at airports (65%) and 19 by airlines (35%). This study also suggests some lines of action to ensure and guarantee the security of data and private information for business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) and their transactions in the aviation industry.

The Priority of Water Consumption in the Spanish Tourism Industry: A Dilemma for Residents and Researchers

Spain is one of the most water-stressed countries in the world. Regional governments face the challenge of ensuring long-term water security for residents and tourists. In 2024, Catalonia declared a state of emergency to tackle the problem of a lack of water. Catalonia and Andalusia regions imposed water restrictions, prohibiting residents from washing the exterior of their houses and cars or filling their swimming pools to guarantee tourism activities in hotels and other tourism companies. The research objective of the present study is to tackle the priority of water consumption in the Spanish tourism industry so that the availability of water is guaranteed for residents, without constraints on the supply. This research uses qualitative and quantitative methods to obtain a comprehensive view of the water consumption in Spain’s territory and the main zones of water scarcity that are affecting residents and the tourism industry. In addition, this study uses the Web of Science (WoS) database to analyse the bibliometrics on the topic of water consumption in the tourism industry from 2000 to 2023, as well as quantify the number of articles published by researchers. Findings reveal that although the tourism industry is the economic engine of Spain, water consumption by tourists is above the level of consumption of residents, and this asymmetrical situation should be reversed in favour of the welfare of Spanish citizens. It is noteworthy that the water scarcity in Spain and its continuing restrictions in the Andalusian and Catalonian regions have caused huge problems with drinking water supply in the last few years. Indeed, local and regional Spanish governments cannot demand that a resident consume 133 L per day, while a tourist is allowed to consume between 400 and 1000 L per day. For this reason, water availability must be a priority for residents, and after that, the tourism industry. Economic interests cannot override citizens’ needs and well-being. This research has helped us better understand the complex relationships between the use of water in the tourism industry and by residents in the context of climate change.
