“…The pleasure of anticipation is regarded as a pivotal aspect of holiday travel (Parrinello, 1993) and the present study brings to mind a comparable feature: the pleasure of recollection -reviving holiday experiences after returning home (Schade & Hahn, 1969). Also, several other scholars have mentioned the importance of the after-life of tourism (Haldrup & Larsen, 2010) or what Jafari (1987) characterises as the incorporation component of tourism. Creating, uploading, evaluating and sharing digitised content about holiday tours in social media is an active way to bring to life and expand memories of non-ordinary travel experiences into everyday life.…”

While utilisation of electronic social media is increasingly relevant as tourism practices, there is still a deficiency of empirical research on tourists' creation and use of various types of online content. This study maps and explores Scandinavian tourists' perceptions of Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 information sources and scrutinises influence of electronic social media on holidaymakers' information sharing, based on a summer season survey in the mature and well-known destination of Mallorca, Spain. Empirical evidence is presented on perceived trustworthiness of social media platforms and other Internet-based information. The study also examines tourists' involvement in developing and sharing of virtual content. It critically analyses technological mediation through electronic wordof-mouth and involvement factors related to virtual dissemination of travel narratives. Moreover, the paper discusses information intensity, hedonic aspects and utilitarian values of tourist information in relation to interaction aspects of social media, in a context of holiday choices and online booking.

“…Attitudes to golf, particularly when players consider themselves fanatical or 'serious' about the sport (Siegenthaler & O'Dell, 2003;Stebbins, 2006), influence the player's behaviour and expectations, shaping golf course choice. Both fanatical golfers and those driven by a desire for fun and enjoyment aim to avoid boredom (Hill & Perkins, 1985;Jafari, 1987). Boredom occurs when perceived ability exceeds perceived challenge (Danish, Petotpas, & Hale, 2007).…”

The findings propose a model which explains the relationship between golf tourist behaviours and destination selection. This identifies six strands which determine the relationship between the golf tourist, golf behaviours and destination selection (constructing the golf holiday, emotional rewards of taking a trip, total trip spend, amenities and support facilities, course characteristics and reputation of the destination). Furthermore it illuminates the complexity of these relationships through recognition of four spheres of influence (group dynamics, competition and ability, golfing capital and intermediaries).Discussion elucidates how this increased understanding of the golf tourist behaviours and destination selection might be applied to other sports, with conclusions exploring implications for the sports tourism industry and destinations.

defined, and what implications can be drawn from in relation to sustainability (see Figure 1). 23Tourism culture can be seen as a product of the melange of host and guest cultures that 24 occurs in a destination, resulting in a new and distinctive emergent culture, in turn shaped by 25 2 and shaping the local tourism context. The aim of this paper is to present an overview of host-26 guest interactions and the outputs to emerge from these, using tourism culture as a lens to do 27 so. It is proposed that this alternative perspective might synthesise and complement various 28 conceptual narratives within the tourism literature, and can be used to encourage a more 29 holistic, nuanced and potentially positive evaluation of tourism outputs. 30It appears that both hosts and guests are mutually affected by their tourism 31 involvements. Tourism is widely associated with cultural influence upon and at times fusion in the industry (Sindga, 1996). With these recognised as factors in more sustainable forms of Tourism Culture Nexus 81Tourism culture may best be seen as a nexus between host culture and guest culture (see 82 Figure 3). On the one hand host culture is that which is indigenous to a locale: its particular 83 arts and crafts, language, traditional roles, festivals, and ways of doing things (Tsartas, 1992; 84 Simpson, 1993;Tapper, 2001;Smith, 2009). In the case of small islands, these often host 85 unusually rich and distinctive cultures due to their relative isolation. This must be adapted to 103It is the interplay between these two cultures which could be seen as the creation, (Picard, 1997;. 109Tourism potentially becomes over time a part of everyday life (Sindiga, 1996), an authentic 110 demonstration (Cohen, 1988) and integral part of local landscapes and identity (Lim and Evans, 1975, cited in Smith, 1976 for example, defines the potential for tourism stimulated 137 interactions to enrich the knowledge of hosts and guests about each other. Outputs such as 138 higher levels of economic entrepreneurship may be stimulated as a result (see Boissevain, 139 1979;Brown, 1998; Brown and Hall, 2000). Lastly, the potential of tourism to revitalise, reinterpret, recreate and create meaning is 158 raised. Alongside a demonstration effect, what could be described as an 'attention effect' may 159 be stimulated, whereby indigenous communities are motivated by outsider interest to explore, 160 revive and reinterpret traditional aspects of local identity (i.e. Stronza and Gordillo, 2008).
