“…The broaden-and-build theory in the field of positive psychology argues that positive emotions broaden individuals' cognitive scope alongside building individuals' physical, intellectual, social, and psychological resources (Fredrickson, 2001). Existing shreds of evidence demonstrate that the broaden-and-build theory has been applied to research on tourist wellbeing (Sirgy, 2019), value co-creation (Lin et al, 2017), and social media sharing behavior (Chen et al, 2021). Tourists with positive emotions are more open-minded, flexible to adopt changes, and able to generate more creative ideas, which can promote tourist self-efficacy to overcome destination challenges (Chen et al, 2021).…”

The tourist experience is a core indicator of destination management for the comprehensive evaluation of destination value. Tourist experience and tourist inspiration are important concepts in the stream of research on destination marketing and management. However, these relationships remained under-explored in the extant literature. This study examined the impact of tourist experience on tourist inspiration under the moderating impact of destination familiarity. To achieve the objective of this study, data were collected online from 622 Chinese tourists. We employed partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to statistically analyze the gathered data. Findings show that four types of tourist experiences, namely education, esthetics, entertainment, and escapism, significantly and positively influenced the inspired-by state of tourist inspiration, which further influenced the inspired-to-state of tourist inspiration. Destination familiarity exerted a significantly negative moderating impact on the relationship between education experience and inspired-by state of tourist inspiration. Sensitivity analysis presents that education experience was the strongest predictor of the inspired-by state followed by aesthetics, escapism, and entertainment facets of the tourist experience. Findings contribute to the theory and practice of tourism management with a robust interpretation of tourist experience, tourist inspiration, and destination familiarity to solidify the effective management of tourist destinations. Limitations and future research directions are noted.

“…Risk perception theory and tourism happiness theory are two theories with low correlation. However, the SPPI discussed in this paper can be classified as psychological risk in the risk perception theory, while the TH in this paper belongs to the positive emotion in the tourism happiness theory [105][106][107]. Therefore, risk perception theory and subjective wellbeing theory are suitable for use in explaining the influencing mechanism of SPPI on TH.…”

Due to the continuous advancement of smart tourism and the improvement of tourists’ security perception of personal information (SPPI), SPPI has become an important factor affecting tourist happiness (TH). However, few studies have been conducted on the influencing mechanism via which SPPI affects TH. According to the risk perception theory and subjective wellbeing theory, the following conclusions were drawn from mixed methods research: (1) SPPI has a significant direct effect on TH; (2) SPPI has a significant indirect effect on TH through the perception of smart tourism application (PSTA); (3) the perception of smart tourism technology (PSTT) does not have a significant moderating effect between SPPI and PSTA or between PSTA and TH, but has a significant moderating effect between SPPI and TH. The discussion of this mechanism can not only promote the combined development of the two theories but also remind destinations or scenic spots to focus on improving tourists’ SPPI when developing smart tourism.

“…SM allowed the relationship between customers and tourism organizations, to exist despite the restrictions and protocols brought by the pandemic (Yost et al , 2021). Destinations promoted through SM are said to influence future travel intentions and behavior of tourists (Bhati et al , 2021; Chen et al , 2021). The benefits of SM as a marketing tool was never popular before the pandemic (Aydin, 2020).…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the elements of luxury travel found in YouTube video advertisements uploaded by various National Tourism Offices from 19 selected Asian countries at the onset of Covid-19 pandemic. Design/methodology/approach The researchers used content analysis to systematically analyze the themes among the Asian tourism video advertisements through the lens of the hierarchy of luxury travel needs. Findings Thailand and the Philippines showcase the most elements of luxury travel needs (LTNs), featuring five out of the seven components. In fact, Thailand has the highest aggregate featured LTN elements among all countries, with 164 coded references across five components. Exclusivity is the most featured element of the LTN by all Asian countries, except for South Korea and Bhutan whose focus is on authentic experience. Interestingly, product quality standards were not seen in any videos. Practical implications Tourism industry decision-makers can use this study in evaluating their promotional plans, developing promotional strategies, crafting future video advertisements and exploring future research in the field of social media, videos and luxury. Originality/value The study provides insights and understanding of the current priorities of tourism advertisements. This study’s use of the hierarchy of LTNs provides a novel contribution within the studies in luxury travel, post-pandemic travel and tourism advertisement.
