PurposeThe purpose of this study was to develop and validate a scale for host sincerity. Design/methodology/approachThe 10-item host sincerity scale was developed by following a multi-stage scale development procedure (Delphi technique, qualitative interviews, and surveys). FindingsThe findings reveal that host sincerity is a second-order construct with two underlying dimensions: 'sincere social interaction' and 'sincere emotional response'. By incorporating host sincerity into the consumer-based model of authenticity, the findings established significant relationships among all constructs, confirming the predictive validity of the host sincerity construct. Research limitationsData was gathered from visitors to troglodyte heritage sites (Kandovan and Cappadocia). Future studies should test the newly formed sincerity scale at other cultural destinations in order to further explore the generalisability of the scale. Further, data was gathered from tourists. Future studies should consider host sincerity from a host perspective. Practical implicationsCultural destination managers and local hosts can use this instrument as a supplementary tool in order to evaluate how sincere their hospitality offering appears to tourists. Originality/valueThis paper develops a host sincerity scale in order to explore the importance of sincere hostguest interactions, and tourists' emotional response to these interactions. It extends the consumer-based model of authenticity by drawing further attention to the importance and impact of host sincerity in stimulating memorable tourism experiences.

“…For example, some contemporary Muslim consumers may consume nonhalal products when travelling, either due to the unavailability of halal items or in an attempt to show open-mindedness. To this end, Taheri et al (2017) noted that presenting good manners to please others (i.e., ceremonious politeness) significantly shapes host-guest interactions within experiential hospitality contexts. Accordingly, Sharia dictates that Muslims can show flexibility when presented with circumstances likely to challenge their physical and psychological well-being.…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the combinations of religiosity, cosmopolitanism and perceived destination image leading to satisfaction and loyalty amongst Muslim consumers within the Maldivian tourism and hospitality context. Design/methodology/approach Using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), this study reveals that diverse combinations of religiosity, cosmopolitanism and destination image dimensions stimulate satisfaction and loyalty in Muslim consumers. Findings Multiple recipes can be used to design compelling destinations that balance the desire for religiosity and cosmopolitanism characteristic of contemporary Muslim consumers. The results confirm the applicability of complexity theory in explaining Muslim consumer behaviour within the Islamic destination context. Practical implications Several implications for the hospitality and tourism industry are drawn from the results, with suggestions for future research provided. Each fsQCA recipe identifies distinct suggestions to shape the design of destination attributes and hospitality offerings to stimulate consumer satisfaction and loyalty. Originality/value Complexity theory was applied to assess the complex causal relationships among Muslim consumers’ religiosity, perceived destination image, cosmopolitanism, satisfaction and loyalty.

“…There is potential for conflict, however, as hosts may feel exploited by visitors primarily motivated by vacation, with the costs and burden of domestic chores unacknowledged (Backer, 2019;Shani & Uriely, 2012). Further, the lack of control in the home can lead to challenging situations of (not-so) subtle negotiation (Taheri et al, 2017). In addition, the sense of obligation to host, and high expectations of some guests in terms of trip length and provision of hospitality, have been found to have an overall detrimental impact on immigrants' capacities (Sch€ anzel et al, 2014).…”

The hosting of friends and relatives is an important and common experience. Hosting gives reason and opportunity for residents to explore their community while spending time with guests. For newcomers, hosting brings additional significance due to their relative isolation from traditional social networks and comparative unfamiliarity with the community. This narrative inquiry examines immigrants' experiences of hosting friends and relatives using Bourdieu's theories of social and cultural capital. Findings suggest that hosting creates a context where relationships are refreshed, resources exchanged, and capitals that enhance hosts' habitus in the new social field are developed. This impacts personal identity, sense of accomplishments, and increases familiarity with the new culture that may further integration. Application of both social and cultural capital demonstrates the opportunities and dilemmas for immigrant hosts interacting in dual social fields. A theoretical model delineates processes and implications for capital development laying foundations for future research and practitioner guidance.
