“…Destinations could develop more cultural tourism products that help tourists acquire cultural capital, such as gaining new knowledge and skills, experiencing local culture, and demonstrating taste. Examples of such tourism products include artistic tourist attractions (e.g., architecture, graffiti, and sculptures), theaters, museums, heritage sites, cultural events and festivals (e.g., concerts and exhibitions), creative tourism sites (e.g., factories, wineries, and farms), and immersive experiences such as workshops and classes (Carvalho 2014; Quaglione et al 2020).…”

Travel bragging rights have become an important factor influencing travel decision making in the social media era, yet research on this topic remains scant in the tourism literature. The present study attempted to answer the question “What constitutes travel bragging rights?” from tourists’ perspectives using in-depth interviews and means–end analysis. A comprehensive conceptualization of travel bragging rights was provided. Specifically, we identified seven dimensions of travel bragging rights. These dimensions are located on a continuum between a focus on the self and a focus on the audience and serve several social psychological functions reflecting social media posters’ (those who post content on social media) personal values. The conceptualization of travel bragging rights highlights the perception gaps between travel posters and the audience. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.

The COVID-19 pandemic has driven the rapid evolution and digitization of different tourism sectors through Industry 4.0. However, Community-based Rural Tourism (CRT) has not experienced the same technological advancement. Thus, considering tourism as a powerful socioeconomic driver, this research is based on the relevance of the CRT for the development of rural areas through job creation, preservation of historical-cultural and architectural heritage, and appreciation of the local market. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to present a concept development model of an intelligent digital platform (IDP), where tourism products and services are visualized, articulated, and integrated with the different actors of the CRT, offering a personalized tourist experience. The concept was developed based on Business Process Management and Business Model Canvas (BMC). Thus, through meetings and interviews, it was possible to extract essential information to obtain the necessary know-how for the development of the concept. It was concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic has established a new business scenario, intensifying and accelerating the use of digital tools and ICTs in several sectors, including tourism. However, the use of ICTs in CRT is still incipient. As Peru is a country where rural tourism has a strong tradition, but there are no specific platforms for CRT, which makes the broad dissemination of rural experiences difficult, a BMC template has been developed to integrate the expected objectives, and the application of the proposed framework serves as a guide for other platforms with different niches markets in the tourism sector.

Tourism ecosystems and territories may take into account digital innovation and include smart tourism perspectives.…”

“…The influence of the Internet and ICTs on consumers and tourism operators was the focus of the Internet's and ICTs' spread in the tourism sector. The notion was that the introduction of direct online channel opportunities would help enterprises reduce their reliance on traditional middlemen, whose market strength would necessarily have a detrimental impact on both consumer prices and tourism firms' profitability (Quaglione et al, 2020).…”
