“…According to Chaudhary and Batra (2018), in the tourism industry, knowledge can be categorized into the following seven categories: Task-specific knowledge contains the specific procedures, sequences, actions and strategies to fulfill a task.

Relevant examples of task-specific knowledge include front and back-office operations that are codified in manuals but that must be learned by training.

Purpose Considering the important role of knowledge management in the global growth of world economies, the importance of knowledge management in the tourism industry can hardly be overestimated. Knowledge management, empowering leadership and innovation can open new research prospects for online travel and tourism, thereby increasing organizational capacity. In this context, this study aims to investigate the relationship between knowledge management practices and transformational leadership, along with the mediating role in this relationship of leadership communication. Knowledge management practices are discussed through the lens of managers’/organizational perspectives working in the online travel and tourism industry. Design/methodology/approach Using a descriptive research method, the data were collected from a total of 174 managers/senior executives working in the online travel and tourism sectors. The proposed conceptual framework was evaluated using structural equation modeling through AMOS 21 and Process Macro (SPSS-Plugin). Findings The results revealed a significant increase in the adoption of knowledge management practices in the online travel and tourism sector under transformative leadership. The results also highlighted that effective communication is a vital contributor and significant complementary mediator in the relationship between transformative leadership and knowledge management practices. Practical implications The results of this study suggest that transformational leaders, who are equipped with the “high touch” nature of leadership and the “high tech” aspect of the contemporary workplace, are the best fit to manage online travel and tourism organizations. To have an adequate knowledge management system, knowledge managers should adopt a transformative leadership style and receive comprehensive training in developing leadership abilities such as effective communication competencies. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to demonstrate that, in emerging online travel and tourism sectors, organizational knowledge can be managed through effective leadership communication.

“…Turizmin bilimsel konumuna ilişkin diğer görüşler incelendiğinde, turizmin bir olgu (Butler, 2015;Wiweka ve Arcana, 2019;Solmaz, 2019), elde edilen bulgulara göre gelişmekte olan bir bilim dalı (Gülcan, 2009b;Sert ve Nalçacı İkiz, 2012), çalışma alanı (Gren ve Huijbens, 2012;Laws ve Scott, 2015;Pearce, 2004;Fennell, 2022) olduğuna ilişkin görüşlerin ortaya konduğu görülmektedir. Ayrıca disiplinsizlik (Tribe, 1997), pandisiplin (Weaver, 2022) ve postdisiplin (Hollinshead, 2010) olarak da nitelendirilen turizmin, özellikle disiplinlerarası yapısına değinen birçok görüş de bulunmaktadır (Xiao vd., 2011;Wu vd., 2012).…”

Bu araştırmanın amacı, turizmin bilimsel konumu ile ilgili makalelerin bibliyometrik özelliklerinin saptanması ve ilgili literatürdeki eğilimlerin betimleyici bir yaklaşımla belirlenmesidir. Ayrıca elde edilen bulgulara göre İngilizce makalelerin gelişiminin Türkçe makalelere olan yansımalarına ilişkin bir değerlendirmenin oluşturulması hedeflenmektedir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, Google Scholar ve DergiPark Akademik veri tabanlarında araştırmanın anahtar kelimeleri ile yapılan tarama ile belirlenen 91 makale, belirli parametrelere göre analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma neticesinde, incelenen makalelere dayalı olarak oluşan kavramsal çerçevenin akademik çalışma niteliğine sahip olduğu, İngilizce makalelerden tarihsel olarak daha eski olanlarının Türkçe makalelere temel oluşturduğu ve turizmin bilimsel konumuna ilişkin görüşlerde ise İngilizce makalelerdeki ‘çok disiplinli’ görüşe yönelik eğilimin Türkçe literatüre de yansıdığı görülmüştür.

“…Tourism translators must be bicultural and bilingual mediators to convey information and culture in a charismatic style and captivating manner that attracts visitors to destination hotspots and tourist attractions. In the same way, translators must fulfill the requirements of translation proficiency and skills to offer high-quality translation such as "rendering competence", "language-producing and stylistic competence'' in the mother tongue and the target language", "problem-solving capabilities", "knowledge acquisition proficiency", and "data analysis proficiency" (Al-Fahad, 2012;Qassem & Sahari, 2023;Fennell, 2022). In that respect, translators must preserve the marrow of the text of the source language, its gist, its use, its artistic references, and its cultural touchstone.…”
