“…The social impact of tourism pertains to changes in the quality of life of tourist destination residents, which can be favourable or unfavourable (Fredline, 2005). In addition to the tourism experience, the social impact on local communities and their involvement has become crucial in tourism (De Bernardi & Arenas, 2022).…”

The tourism industry has encountered various sustainable development functionalities, and nations seek to develop tourism while conserving nature and its resources. Agritourism strengthens a region’s competitive, cultural, and transformational resources while helping the rural community, economy, and society thrive sustainably. However, few studies have evaluated community attention toward agritourism in developing countries. This study bridges this gap using community attachment through agritourism-based resident perceptions of the economic, social, cultural, and environmental impacts of tourism support and its contributions to resident communities. A partial least squares method under structural equation modelling (SEM) was employed using SmartPLS 3.0. Results reveal that community attachment is significantly correlated with economic, social, cultural, and environmental impacts, which are also significantly associated with tourism support. These impacts were mainly related to contributions to the community, thus confirming all hypotheses except for the cultural implications, which were found to be insignificant. This study will help marketers, professionals, and decision-makers understand and predict the economic, social, cultural, and environmental impacts of agritourism and formulate policies to contribute to its development.

“…Tourism is considered a sector with great potential worldwide (Kyrylov et al, 2023), and service quality is perceived as a key strategy for its sustainable development (Alhazmi, 2018). Published studies by authors De Bernardi and Arenas (2022) and Gburová et al, (2023) have demonstrated that countries in developing regions (Hronec et al, 2022), such as the Visegrad Group countries, need an effective business environment for the growth of their economies and achieving positive economic indicators (De Bernardi and Arenas, 2022;Gburová et al, 2023). According to research from the World Bank Group (2022), components of an effective business environment include stable political and legal conditions, a friendly business environment, and access to financing.…”

Tourism is a very dynamic industry and can change rapidly under the influence of various factors. This causes pressure for flexible solutions in terms of managing tourism at the national level and ensuring its quality, and thus its sustainable attractiveness for both domestic and foreign tourism. Tourism performance has changed significantly under the influence of the Covid-19 pandemic, and based on this, the aim of this paper was to analytically evaluate the development of tourism performance in the Visegrad Four countries. Based on the use of the approximation method and the regression method, it evaluates the performance in the period 2013-2021 (latest available data) with the TTCI and TTDI Indexes and predicts the possible performance for the next year 2023 under the influence of the aforementioned pandemic. The results of the study point to different performance within the four countries. The country with the most stable tourism management potential and potentially the best performance appears to be the Czech Republic, and the worst performing is the Slovak Republic.

“…For tourists, experiencing authentic objects during travel leads to existential authenticity (Kolar & Zabkar, 2010; Li, Tian, et al, 2021; Yi et al, 2018), satisfaction (Domínguez-Quintero et al, 2020; Park et al, 2019), and well-being (Yi et al, 2022). From the perspective of providers, authenticity is related to behavior intention (Ramkissoon & Uysal, 2011; Stepchenkova & Belyaeva, 2021), organizational identity (De Bernardi & Arenas, 2022), perceived quality (Akhoondnejad, 2015; Domínguez-Quintero et al, 2020), and customer loyalty (Kolar & Zabkar, 2010; Lin & Liu, 2018; Li, Tian, et al, 2021; Park et al, 2019).…”

This study sheds new light on the importance of perceived object-related authenticity for a positive tourism experience. We used a novel method of categorizing tourists based on their objective and constructive authenticity perceptions. The authors hypothesized that authenticity perception type would affect tourists’ positive experiences more than other factors. Specifically, differences among authenticity perception types in existential authenticity, satisfaction, and memorability scores were investigated using on-site surveys. The effect was empirically tested in settings with conflicting characteristics: original and re-created heritage sites in South Korea. The results suggest that tourists had more existentially authentic, satisfactory, and memorable experiences when they perceived the site as more objectively authentic. This had a greater impact on positive experience than setting and authenticity orientations. This study makes theoretical contributions by uncovering the relationality of objective and constructive authenticities, which also has implications for practitioners, as it significantly and positively contributes to tourists’ experiences.
