“…According to Chen and Fu (2018), the metacognitive construct of CI is an individual's intellectual process which enables him/her to acquire and interpret knowledge about other cultures. Such cultural knowledge provides a better understanding of tourists' needs and perceptions easily (Triandis, 2006;You, Chen & Su, 2019).…”

This paper focuses on investigating the influence of tourist guides' Cultural Intelligence (CI) on their perceived performance and to examine the relationship between this performance and tourists' satisfaction. The study adopted the deductive approach by carrying out a survey using self-administrated questionnaires that were distributed to 382 inbound tourists in Petra city-Jordan, who were selected conveniently. 290 questionnaires were collected with an achieved response rate of 76.1%. Collected data were analyzed using statistical techniques including standard multiple regression and Pearson correlation. Findings showed that CI has a positive effect on local tourist guides' performance, which in turn has a significant positive correlation with the level of tourist satisfaction. Based on these findings, official training programs that include CI courses was recommended for local tourist guides in Petra city.

“…Complex formalities are likely to discourage tourists from choosing group package tours. Nevertheless, group tours generally include sightseeing guides, travel and accommodation packages, and catering services, which are prearranged by travel agencies (You et al, 2019). Therefore, travel agencies and tour leaders must have the necessary skills to liaison with vendors from various industries (Wong and Wang, 2009).…”

With the growing demand for experience, technologies such as augmented reality (AR) have been widely adopted across fields to increase individuals’ interactive experiences. In tourism, group package tours have become a common touring approach; however, research in investigating tourists’ journey experiences facilitated by modern technologies such as AR remains rare. This study aims to examine factors affecting tourists’ behavioral intentions to choose group package tours. An extended theory of the planned behavior model with three antecedents—destination image, perceived certainty, and experiential value— is posited to evaluate the potential influence of AR. Using data of 557 survey respondents, the structural equation modeling shows a good fit for the empirical results. The findings reveal that AR gives tourists access to more explicit destination images, increases the certainty of group package tours, and creates experiential value during a trip, thereby enhancing behavioral intentions to opt for a group package tour. The study concludes with theoretical and empirical implications for tourism and related industries.

“…The utilization of social media data offers the possibility of personalized and dynamic tourism path planning. Data mining techniques are used in tourism path planning by analyzing tourists' comments and feedback to understand their satisfaction with specific attractions, identifying attractions in photos uploaded by users, analyzing popular attractions and hidden treasures, and analyzing popular tourist routes and trends using location data [10][11][12].…”

In recent years, along with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, big data and social media, informatization in the tourism industry also shows an explosive trend. This paper constructs a tourism path planning system based on data mining technology and the selection method of the optimal path. The GS algorithm is used to optimize the SVM algorithm to form the GS-SVM fusion algorithm, which makes the tourism path planning and predicts the optimal path according to the specific conditions of the journey, the characteristics of the scenic spot itself, and the tourists’ needs. After testing, this system has a good prediction performance on the traffic accessibility, attraction congestion and crowd change of scenic tour path. It is found that the transportation accessibility of scenic tour paths is positively correlated with tourists’ experience. In addition, in the experiment on the advantages and disadvantages of tourism paths, the passage time of paths 14, 15 and 16 is more than 3 minutes. Still, the actual length of these three paths is not more than 350m, which indicates that there are things for tourists to visit and experience on the passage paths, thus lengthening the passage time. This shows that the system provides real-time and reference paths for tourists by mining social media sharing data.
