Towards a framework for the global wine tourism system

Abstract

PurposeWine tourism has stood out as a very recognized and valid tourism and marketing segment, growing worldwide and urging the complex needed advances on wine tourism practices performance. This paper aims to develop a new framework strictly applied to the global wine tourism system, taking into account emerging and future constructs and dimensions that precede and consequence it.Design/methodology/approachThe systematic mapping study (SMS) was adopted as the selected research methodological approach, both to analyze and to structure a broad research field concerning methods, designs and research, focuses on the papers published in reliable academic databases such as Emerald, ProQuest, Sage, Science Direct, Scopus, Wiley, Web of Science, Taylor and Francis and Wiley were properly selected and analyzed.FindingsThe following four dimensions were found to comprise the global framework of the wine tourism system: (1) support features (governance, public policies and economic investment; supply development; physical and capacity conditions; requirements of health safety; opinion makers and leaders: managers/stakeholders/players/marketers and benchmarking and value chain); (2) innovation ecosystem (profile of the new generations of wine tourists; virtual and augmented reality: digital and hybrid wine events; smart wine tourism companies; digital channels and platforms: blogs, websites, applications; wine tourism creative activities for all [from kids to seniors] and sustainable and ecologic wine tourism practices); (3) wine tourism experience dimensions (storytelling; involvement; winescape; attachment; emotions and sensory) and (4) behavioural intentions (satisfaction; loyalty; and WoM).Research limitations/implicationsThe framework still needs to be empirically applied in wine tourism settings to enrich tourists’ robustness in cross-cultural wine tourism experiences, covering a wider spread of abroad wine tourism destinations and products.Practical implicationsThis framework is a useful tool and becomes vital to their continued success, as a key reference of wine tourism management and marketing. As a wine tourist's visitation frequency plays a role in his/her travel motives, product and service quality of tour packages must be improved and monitored.Originality/valueThis is the first research study to demonstrate the combined use of the main domains forming the wine tourism system within a global perspective, covering of the most critical aspects.

A cross-cultural analysis of the motivation factors and profitability of online wine tastings during Covid-19 pandemic

“…According to their findings, wine companies in Italy have managed to increase their economic performance after the world consumption crisis in 2007-2008. Santos et al (2021) have already predicted the innovation of the ecosystem as one of the main drivers in recent times in wine tourism. Thus, the new generations of wine tourists will be faced with digital and/or hybrid wine events and the increased usage of digital channels and platforms.…”

Mapping the Greek Wine Supply Chain: A Proposed Research Framework

“…This mapping shall identify all the stages of the supply chain and their processes, achieving an initial simplification of the supply chain. Accordingly, the second mapping objective lies in the analysis of the wine dining and tourism supply chain, illustrating the system and network of all the stakeholders concerned along with their interdependencies [19]. Given the particularities of the services supply chains and the wide range of actors and businesses involved in the wine industry, the third mapping objective is to map the wine ecosystem from a holistic sustainability perspective [40].…”

“…Thus, the environmental, social and economic sustainability of the sector, particularly in the Greek case, is inextricably linked to long-term strategic planning and management of the entire supply chain. Despite the notable progress in increasing our understanding of the wine sector supply chain [17,18] or the components of the wine tourism as a complex system [19,20], to the authors' knowledge, no recent papers have attempted to provide a thorough analysis of the intricate nature of the wine supply chain. It is upon this last point that the current paper focuses on.…”

A multicriteria model for evaluation of Brazilian wineries from a tourism destination perspective

“…Tourist satisfaction in wineries makes customers visit them more and buy products, thus creating an excellent business strategy, which is quite competitive (Santos et al, 2021). The Tourqual model is a set of indicators that can be applied to diagnose the quality of tourism services, whether in destinations, events and/or tourism equipment Mondo and Fiates, 2017;Mondo et al, 2020aMondo et al, , 2020b.…”
