“…However, even the political will to make invisible tourism visible has failed to produce tangible results. The UNWTO and the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) estimate that domestic tourism is several times larger than international demand but, due to data collection gaps, few numbers are available for scientific analysis of this segment [14].…”

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, tourism had permeated all spaces of experience, reaching nearly every country, region, community, and corner of the globe. In recent decades, the meanings, implications, and roles of tourism have also expanded significantly. This article focuses on unconventional tourism mobilities, including same-day visits, which are an important but often neglected part of the tourism system, constantly challenging both scholars and tourism industry stakeholders. Unconventional tourism is an umbrella term that covers most kinds of unregistered or unaccounted tourist mobilities, some of which might not appear to be ‘tourism’ but should be in certain localities and under certain conditions. Given the growth of unregistered tourist flows and unaccounted leisure (or utilitarian) mobilities, there is a need in tourism studies to apply innovative research methods and to reconceptualize the meanings of tourism in different geographical and social contexts. It is expected that people’s desire to travel in the post-pandemic era will educe new spatial and temporal travel experiences and behaviours in which unconventional tourisms will play an important role. To better understand this phenomenon and to evaluate the development of new approaches to travel and behavioural spatialities, new ways of thinking, new theoretical constructs, and new methodologies are needed. This article seeks to explore certain hidden or invisible tourism mobilities, focusing on the geographical patterns, processes, and hidden aspects of unconventional tourism.

Face is an indigenous cultural concept deeply rooted in Chinese society. It is believed that face plays a profound role in influencing Chinese people's social behaviors, but little research has been conducted to investigate its impacts in relation to outbound travel behaviors among Chinese Gen Y tourists. This study collected 350 usable responses via online self-administered surveys, and examined the moderating effect of face gaining in the theory of reasoned action (TRA) model. Contrary to the extant literature, the present research indicates a negative moderating effect of face gaining on the positive relationship between attitude and outbound travel intention in a Chinese context. Through analysis and discussion, some theoretical and managerial implications are presented, which facilitates our understanding of face culture and Chinese Gen Y tourists. Additionally, limitations and future research directions are provided.
