“…On the contrary, the quantity of time spent planning a trip usually decreases if the person has already a certain familiarity with the destination or if the planning activity is entrusted to a travel agent [4], [5], [6]. Other user-related variables influencing itinerary planning are the traveller's age, income, motivations, educational level [7], and the word of mouth, i.e. the opinions of other users [8], [9].…”

Planning an itinerary is a complex activity, which includes the choice of a few places to see, coupled with information on timing, transferring methods and related activities. Intelligent tools such as recommender systems have been used in order to support these activities. While decisions regarding the type of trip to undertake are strongly influenced by tourists' personalities, currently only a few recommenders exploit information about this aspect. Our aim is to provide itinerary recommender system designers with some guidance on the integration of knowledge on personality traits and itinerary factors in a recommender. To do so, first we modeled the most important aspects of an itinerary, starting from the state-of-the-art literature on recommender systems for tourism. We identified thirteen factors, from the variety (in type and topic) of Points-of-Interest (POIs) to the expected duration of transfer times, grouped into three broader dimensions (POIs, time and choice modality). Then, we carried out a survey-based study on Generation Z (namely, the generation of people born between 1996/1997 and 2012) to investigate if the Big Five personality traits can affect the user's decision-making process when planning an itinerary, and, in particular if they are related to user preferences for the itinerary factors in our model. Finally, we used our findings to define some guidelines for the design of advanced itinerary recommender systems.

Purpose This study aims to introduce a dynamic perspective of tourism resilience by analyzing tourism demand in Spain during the 2020 and 2021 summers in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Design/methodology/approach This study uses regression and Lasso-type methods to demonstrate a great explanatory capacity of past determinants to explain the tourism demand of the Spanish provinces. Findings Results show how the previous specialization of the domestic market, the density and the geographic location related to the type of product are behind the bulk of the territorial differences in demand resilience, although in 2021 there has been a process of adaptation to the new context. Research limitations/implications This study contributes to the theoretical understanding of tourist behavior and tourism destination management by introducing the concept of resilience dynamics of destinations. Practical implications The results are useful, on the one hand, for tourist destinations to understand the different stages of recovery from a shock, and on the other hand, to go in deep in consumer behavior after a shock. Originality/value These findings represent a paradigm shift in the static conception of resilience in tourism.
