“…Qualitative research was adopted in this study as it is oriented to collect data that provide contextual information and contribute towards creating a deeper understanding of a phenomena in its natural setting (Sanders et al, 2013). It is interested in understanding how people make sense of the world and how they experience events (Wilson et al, 2020). This method of research enabled the exploration of the complexity of the tourism employer's perceptions of VBM and how this may build into recruitment, hiring and employment practices.…”

This study investigates the relationship between tourism and hospitality manager's perceptions of visible body modification (VBM) and recruitment and operational practices. It examines how managers evaluate, recruit and manage the appearance of employees with VBM. Qualitative research was undertaken, consisting of 14 semi-structured interviews with tourism managers in the North East of England. The interviews were thematically coded and analysed. It is demonstrated that managers recognize VBM as expressions of socio-cultural trends, however their personal experiences, values, expectations, knowledge and attitudes towards VBM may influence hiring practices. Organizations must continue to review their recruitment and operational policies to reflect the evolving socio-cultural values in contemporary society to be more inclusive and provide guidance and clarity concerning VBM. This study offers some important insights into the phenomena by developing an understanding of employees with VBM from the employer's lens, exploring employers' perceptions through their personal emotions, assumptions, misconceptions and societal expectations of the modern world.

“…(Domingo-Carrillo et al, 2019;Mudarra-Fernández et al, 2019). Concerning science mapping, we also find qualitative studies to map research topics (Weiermair & Bieger, 2005;Wilson et al, 2019), usually analysing the best quartile of journals' topics, titles, abstracts and keywords. Also, to measure text similarity, Takano and Kajikawa (2018) used keywords analysis.…”

Topic prominence is regarded as a recent indicator that reveals the present momentum of a certain topic by considering the citations, views, and CiteScore thresholds. Topic prominence has been examined in prior research within different contexts, however, there is no known study exploring this trend within tourism and hospitality literature. Therefore, this study aims to analyse and map the topic prominence of Tourism, Leisure and Hospitality Management (TLHM) research by focusing on Switzerland as a case study. The collected data included 337 articles published in 46 journals indexed in Scopus under the subject category of TLHM. The findings concluded that topic prominence is an important indicator for measuring scientific research productivity, including peer-reviewed articles. More particularly, it is revealed that the investigation of topic prominence provides an overall clearer picture of Swiss TLHM research. This study contributes to tourism studies by discussing the usage of the topic prominence

“…When applied to bibliometric studies, content analysis allows for a clear view of the evolution of the literature on a given topic [20] through the mapping of its scientific production [19]. Within the present study, following the example of previous bibliometric studies on tourism [31], quantitative and qualitative content analysis methods were combined through a mix of three bibliometric analysis techniques, which allowed for the mapping of the scientific production on SPTH. Figure 1 summarizes the data collection and systematization procedures.…”

Sustainability Perceptions in Tourism and Hospitality: A Mixed-Method Bibliometric Approach

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the post-Covid-19 era, tourism impacts and the role played by sustainable planning on the long-term success of destinations have gained renewed importance. Understanding the image and perceptions tourists hold of a destination is vital for tourism planning, as they play a key role in tourists’ decisions. Considering the importance of these two key concepts (perceptions and sustainability), the present paper contributes to the advancement of knowledge on sustainable tourism by characterizing the state of the art of Sustainability Perceptions in Tourism and Hospitality (SPTH). To this end, the scientific literature on the topic was mapped through a combination of three bibliometric analysis techniques, namely: evaluative, relational, and systematic bibliometric analysis. These were based on productivity and impact indicators, including SciVal topic prominence. The results reveal that sustainability perceptions in SPTH focus on tourists’, stakeholders’, and residents’ perceptions. These findings highlight the need for involving local communities in the destination planning process to align the outcomes of tourism development with their expectations. Finally, this paper presents an original methodological contribution, as it is the first to apply the SciVal topic prominence analysis to SPTH.
