“…The research provides a understanding of how destination attachment shapes tourists' perceptions and behaviors, representing a substantial contribution to the literature on potential tourist behaviors and a more sophisticated method for examining advocacy intentions in scenic Emotional solidarity and tourists' nostalgia destinations (Barcus and Shugatai, 2021;Cho, 2021;Dwyer et al, 2019;Ganji et al, 2021). This understanding aids in developing strategic approaches for destination marketers to tap into the power of nostalgia, thus increasing tourists' intentions to advocate for the destination.…”

PurposeExamining emotional solidarity that drives tourists’ nostalgia has received significant attention, offering valuable insights that can aid in the selection of a travel destination. However, tourists’ nostalgia, along with its antecedents—perceived safety risk and emotional solidarity, has gained less attention within the setting of Pakistan. Therefore, this research has been carried out and validated a research framework using the stimulus-organism-response model to investigate the links between perceived safety risk, emotional solidarity—welcoming nature, emotional closeness, sympathetic understanding, perceived nostalgia, and destination advocacy intentions. In addition, this model employed destination attachment—place identity and place dependence—as a boundary condition on the relationships between emotional solidarity and advocacy intentions.Design/methodology/approachThis study collected 545 responses through two methods: offline distribution of print copies of the questionnaire and online surveys from domestic tourists who visited scenic destinations last year. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was performed using AMOS 26, and the PROCESS macro was conducted using IBM SPSS 28.FindingsThe findings highlighted that perceived safety risk negatively influences emotional solidarity—welcoming nature, emotional closeness, sympathetic understanding—, resulting in a positive effect on perceived nostalgia. Furthermore, tourists’ perceived nostalgia positively triggers advocacy intentions. The findings also confirmed the boundary conditions of destination attachment—place identity and place dependence—on the association between emotional solidarity and perceived nostalgia.Practical implicationsThree major practical implications of these findings: First, ensuring visitor safety with smart security measures, digital tools for quick response, and local community involvement. Second, highlighting local markets, art, and architecture to enrich cultural experiences and promote accessibility and diversity. Finally, using marketing to generate nostalgic experiences through local collaborations, professional storytelling, and engaging social media content to build emotional ties and curiosity.Originality/valueIn terms of originality, this is pioneering research intended at developing and validating the model in the context of Pakistani destinations. Furthermore, this marks the initial step in examining the proposed relationships between perceived safety risk and emotional solidarity in fostering tourists' perceived nostalgia, ultimately leading to a strong desire to advocate for the destination.

“…Indeed, homeland tourism is often strongly supported through visiting friends and relatives (VFR) travel (Butler, 2003;King and Dwyer, 2015;Wagner, 2015;Rogerson, 2017), as well as heritage and roots tourism (Reed, 2013(Reed, , 2015Pelliccia, 2016). These connections are further reinforced through business relations and investment by diasporas in their home country (Elo and Riddle, 2016;Tichaawa, 2017;Williams, 2018;Rabbiosi et al, 2019), remittances to the homeland (Leblang, 2016;Busumtwi-Sam, 2019;Galstyan and Ambrosini, 2022), the development and maintenance of social capital and community networks (Peck, 2020;Li, 2020;Adinolfi, 2019), and place attachment (Otoo et al, 2021;Barcus and Shugatai, 2022;Diener and Hagen, 2022).…”

The vast territorial expansion of Portugal during the colonial era resulted in a significant global diaspora network, with one such community situated in South Africa. Multiple waves of immigration from Portugal, its autonomous regions, and former African colonies have given rise to an established diasporic community in South Africa. Acting as a vital communication channel, the O Século de Joanesburgo newspaper played a crucial role in keeping the South African Portuguese diaspora informed about the broader Portuguese community both locally and abroad, thereby fostering connections between the community and their homeland. Throughout the years, the newspaper extensively featured travel-related content, employing various strategies to encourage travel to the homeland. This paper investigates how travel was depicted and promoted to the South African Portuguese diaspora through the newspaper. Using archival material from the newspaper, significant themes can be identified related to travel within the community. These encompass journeys to the homeland, encouragement for seaside property investments in Portugal, and indications of domestic tourism within South Africa. Overall, this research contributes to the broader discourse on the development of diasporic communities and emphasizes the integral role of travel in their existence.

“…In geographical terms, the attachment to often marginalized geo-locales (pre-national tribal areas or neighborhoods) abet both processes of definition-the external and the internal. In the contemporary migration and diaspora literature, ethnic communities are prominently defined in terms of members' collective attachments to their "place of origin", such as those represented by nostalgia for cities of origin and neighborhoods and even streets and households in their pre-migration homelands [4,5]. Nonetheless, moving beyond the perception of migration as a unidirectional, bipolar movement from a homogenous, "sending" country to a hegemonic, "host" country, various spatial metaphors have helped to emphasize the role of social action dynamics and multifocal definitions of ethnic space in contemporary migration literature ([4], p. 28).…”

Repositioning Ethnicity and Transnationalism: Community Resilience Strategies among the Non-Migratory Segment of Turkish Jewry

The methods that communities exploit to cope with national hegemonies that dispossess and exclude them have attracted the interest of migration scholars who emphasize the development of transnational strategies as community-building vehicles. Some scholars focus on migrant communities, whereas other studies analyze the “stayers”—those who remain in the countries of origin—in their analyses of the impacts of transnational trends on these groups. Yet how such transnational dynamics influence the “stayers” among ethnonational communities whose members rapidly “repatriate” en masse to their perceived nation-state, such as the migration of Middle Eastern Jews to Israel in the era of regional decolonization and nationalization, remain understudied. This article focuses on the community of “stayers” among Turkish Jews, whose leaders sought methods to cope with the effects of rising nationalism on their community structure and the intensity of an emigration crisis that engulfed them due to the vacuum they faced after losing 40 percent of their members in 1948–1949 to Israel. We analyze Şalom, the most important newspaper that Turkish Jewry continued to publish well after 1948. To escape marginalization and to re-establish their base in Turkey, one of Şalom’s main strategies, we find, is conveying to its readership in Turkey the advantage of connecting and twinning the two national centers that had become the focal points of most of the community by 1950—the Turkish Republic and the State of Israel.
