“…Considered a subset of educational tourism with distinguishable characteristics from other types of tourism [8,9], academic tourism has been primarily studied in terms of the motivations of international students (e.g., [7,[10][11][12]); their economic, social, and cultural impact on destinations; and the benefits for these students (e.g., [13][14][15][16]), or from the perspective of international students as academic tourists (e.g., [17][18][19][20][21]). Although substantive work has been conducted, this is still an under-researched academic field [15].…”

“…Furthermore, there is still ongoing debate and a lack of consensus regarding the precise terminology and classifications used [5,22]. In addition, studies focusing on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on academic institutions and destinations (e.g., [20,23,24]) are scarce [6]. Hence, it is imperative to broaden the scope of research in this domain [6], encompassing both theoretical and applied dimensions.…”

This study seeks to expand the understanding of international academic tourism by revisiting concepts and their associations with the internationalisation of higher education and analysing the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic. This research takes Portugal as a study case, drawing on secondary data. From a theoretical standpoint, this work makes a significant contribution to addressing persistent conceptual ambiguities. In managerial terms, the findings hold significance for advancing Portugal as an academic tourism destination and raising awareness among tourism and educational stakeholders about the relevance and competitive advantages of international academic tourism. Finally, we reflect upon the pandemic effects and potential repercussions of future challenges on international academic tourism globally.

Destination safety is one of the essential factors that tourists consider when making a travel decision, especially to a destination they are unfamiliar with. Many destinations' success depends on ensuring tourists feel safe and secure before and during their trips. The inherently risky nature of travel also affects tourists' pre-travel and post-travel perceptions of the destination they intend to visit. Accordingly, this study aims to measure the mediating role of local people's attitudes and behaviours toward visitors in the effect of destination safety climate elements on the general risk perception toward the destination. After reviewing existing research, we created a survey and administered it in Istanbul and Antalya, the top tourist destinations in Turkey. The survey was conducted in multiple languages, including Turkish, English, German, and Russian. After filtering out incorrect and incomplete responses, we analysed the dataset consisting of 1299 questionnaire forms. Initially, we used statistical analyses to ensure the scale's validity. We employed structural equation modelling with the AMOS software to examine the hypotheses based on the research objectives. The study found that how residents treat visitors plays a role in shaping tourists' overall perception of safety in a destination.
