“…The results of the narrative review on antecedents revealed that studies on tourism expenditure need to use new theories, pragmatic methods, and novel analytical approaches within various data scales obtained from different geographical contexts in order to explain the complexities of the tourism expenditure phenomena (Brida & Scuderi, 2013;Dolnicar et al, 2008;Lin et al, 2015;Olya & Mehran, 2017;Wang & Davidson, 2010b).…”

“…Nevertheless, the incremental growth rate of OTE publications has been steady since 2015. Similarly, Kim et al (2018) found that the number of overall review studies in a tourism and hospitality context had (Lin, Shanshan, Mao, & Song, 2015), while at the macro level, there were few studies indicating that economic factors were not associated with OTE (Olya & Mehran, 2017). Income is one the most commonly used predictors of expenditure and the most important antecedent in indicating purchasing behaviour, but it is used in OTE modelling as a positive significant regressor (Brida & Scuderi, 2013;Dogru et al, 2017).…”

“…For example, Eugenio-Martin and Campos-Soria (2011) revealed that general managers and self-employed professionals are more likely to travel, which is in contrast to unemployed, manual workers and business owners who might have less inclination to travel. On the other hand, Kim et al (2011) indicated that professional workers spend less on transportation and sightseeing, and Lin et al (2015) reported that there are studies which found no relationship between occupation and tourist expenditure.…”

This study aims to identify how the paradigm of outbound tourism expenditure (OTE) research transforms from economic to social concern. It also explicates the evolution of OTE from an advocacy platform to a sustainability platform. This study adopts a hybrid of narrative and systematic reviews to study OTE as a complex social phenomenon. This hybrid review is complemented by a thematic review and semantic network analysis on gaps and future directions of relevant studies. The results reveal that the paradigm of OTE research is directed from economic toward social thinking. This study proposes an application of socially related antecedent configurations, social theories, pragmatic methods, and various scales of study contexts as promising solutions to address the complexity and heterogeneity of OTE. The study concludes that the conceptual structure of OTE is premised on a sustainability platform, which is influenced by socio-cultural, environmental, economic, and political issues. This study provides a road map that enlightens the current state of OTE, prevailing topics, and pathways for further research.

“…With the development of social economy and the improvement of people's living standard, more public holidays, faster transportation (e.g., convenient air networks and highspeed railways), and greater openness toward the world, China's domestic and outbound demand for tourism have grown unprecedentedly since the 2000s [1]. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the number of domestic tourists reached 3,611 million in 2014.…”

“…There is a substantial body of literature discussing different research methods applied to evaluation and choice of tourism destination. These methods include (1) Multinomial Logit Model (MNL) [4][5][6][7]; (2) Binary Regression Model [8][9][10][11]; (3) Multinomial Probit Model [12]; (4) Scobit Based Discrete-Continuous Choice Model [13]; (5) Structural Equation Model [14][15][16][17][18][19]; (6) Meta-analysis [20]; (7) Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) [21][22][23][24]; (8) Principal Component Analysis [25][26][27][28][29][30]; and (9) Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) [31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. Some of the methods may have already been known to the public.…”

The decision-making process of choosing an ideal tourism destination is influenced by a number of psychological and nonpsychological variables. Tourists need a method to quickly and easily select a suitable destination. Driven by this practical decision issue, a novel approach of tourist destination evaluation, grey relation analysis (GRA), is developed and applied to the ranking evaluation of Taiwan tourism destinations in China. In the evaluating process, we apply entropy to calculate the weight of each index, which is a more objective method of calculating weights. The results of the study indicate that although the same size is small and the distribution of data is unknown, GRA can still be successfully used in evaluating tourist destinations. In addition, we compare the GRA results with the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) and show that more accurate ranking results can be obtained.

The paper analyses how the bettering in the living standard affects Chinese households' decision-making process regarding tourism. The first novelty of this study relays on the role that living standard, proxy by happiness, Internet use and social connection spending, has on the tourism participation and how it impacts tourism expenditures. We estimate hurdle models and calculate income elasticity with respect to living condition; this is the second main novelty of this study. Empirical results show that living standard is associated with likelihood of participating in tourism and is an essential determinant for tourism consumption behaviour. Some recommendations are finally proposed.
