Full textAbstract:
Package tours encourage the development of destinations by increasing their attractiveness to global visitors. This study examines the benefits of package tour designs that allow tourists to leverage multiple features to create their own destination experiences. It uses conjoint analysis, applied to package tours, to determine the relative importance of package tour attributes as perceived by Taiwanese tourists. The most important attributes that Taiwanese tourists consider when choosing package tours in Japan are ‘attraction’, followed by ‘accommodation’, ‘length of stay’, ‘price’, ‘cuisine’, ‘transport’, and ‘season’. By reflecting tourists’ preferences for certain attributes, tourism managers can expand their international tourism, improve resource utilization, enhance tourists’ experiences, and strengthen destination development.

Full textAbstract:
Chinese inbound tourism constitutes Australia’s fastest growing and largest international tourist market. Currently, most of this travel is conducted via group package tours (GPTs). While there is anecdotal evidence of dissatisfaction with some aspects of Chinese tourists’ service experience such as commission-based shopping, little empirical evidence is available about the salient dimensions of service quality or their respective performance. The aim of this study is to identify the core service components offered by Chinese GPTs and to examine any service shortfalls. Findings from a survey of 520 tourists revealed three dimensions of Chinese package tour service: attractions, tour leader and food and accommodation. The study identified significant gaps between expectation and performance across all dimensions. Theoretical and service quality implications for researchers, tour operators and policymakers are presented and discussed.

Future studies may involve samples from various age cohorts. Practical implications The findings offer new insights and directions for GPT operators and tour guides to improve tourism management and tourist experiences. Social implications This study contributes to tourism literature about customer-to-customer interaction by identifying the major categories of other customers’ characteristics or behaviors that may positively or negatively influence a GPT tourist’s travel experience. Originality/value This study enriches the existing literature by investigating the attributes of other group members that may affect the travel experiences of a domestic GPT participant. Tourism firms can formulate better strategies and staff training to enhance tourists’ travel experiences.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine Chinese tourists’ experience of Britain based on a conceptual model of tourist satisfaction and destination loyalty, and to identify key issues that tourism organisations could address to provide an excellent experience for Chinese tourists. Design/methodology/approach – Data were collected in collaboration with a tour operator; and 275 valid responses were received. Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling was used for data analysis. Findings – The key destination attributes of Britain such as heritage sites, natural scenery and customer service provide an excellent experience for Chinese tourists. Other British destination attributes such as shopping facilities, food, accommodation, entertainment and night life are less impressive. Research limitations/implications – The sample was drawn from Chinese tourists visiting Britain on package tours, which limits the generalisation of results to other Chinese tourists and other European/Mediterranean destinations. Practical implications – There are two key challenges for British destination tourism managers: first, to maintain the current quality levels in the attributes that generate tourist satisfaction; and second, to concentrate on improving attributes with low performance ratings such as shopping, food and drink, accommodation, entertainment and night life. As the characteristics of Chinese tourists are culture-specific rather than destination-specific, tourism managers in other European destinations may find these recommendations useful too. Originality/value – This is one of the first studies to examine Chinese tourists’ experience of a European destination. The results reveal unique characteristics of Chinese tourist requirements, which provide useful implications for tourism organisations to adapt their service strategies to better cater to this growing group of travellers.

Full textAbstract:
Since package tourism began on a small scale at the start of the 20th century, tourism and travel to Bali have gone through a series of overlapping and interlocking phases. By the 1930s the destruction of ‘authenticity’ and the process of transformation were already apparent to some. Tourism expanded and diversified. In the 1970s world travellers, and later ‘surfies’, contributed to the distinctiveness of Kuta, a way station on the Asian overland trail. Kuta grew, drew vibrant commerce, package tours, and a new youth scene, displacing world travellers to the periphery—the ‘interior’ or ‘up country’—in search of elusive authenticity. Tourism became introspective, as the gaze of mass tourists and chic tourists focused on hotels, resorts, and each other; international, as world consumer goods displaced local products; and youthful, with the emergence of specialised package holidays, centred on action and consumption. Resort cycles were grafted onto each other in an unwieldy social and geographical synthesis, as Bali, increasingly diverse yet inconspicuous, became ‘whatever you want it to be’.

Tour operators' performance and recent changes in air inclusive tours (AITs) are traced. The difficulties tour operators face are identified in the light of economic factors influencing demand and supply. Attention is concentrated on the impact of economies and diseconomies of scale, concentration, integration, legal liabilities, technological change and the general economic climate. Discussion of trends indicates that in the face of increasing competition, continuing excess capacity and market instability, tour operators are confronted by varying and challenging prospects into the next century.

Abstract This article is an attempt to open up the study of pilgrimage and tourism by concentrating on the role of travel agencies in developing Hindu pilgrimage in India. Identifying two limitations in the ongoing debate, it makes use of less-explored themes and concepts including travel menus, package tours, itineraries, day tours, circuits, and scheduling. Surveying 46 travel brochures and popular tours promoted by travel agencies in Delhi, Haridwar, and Vrindavan, it investigates how travel agencies repackage the sacred geography of Hinduism, tying it up with the broader tourist geography of India. Turning to the varied motivations of participants in day tours to pilgrimage sites, I present my analysis of the overarching developments in what I call pilgrimage-related travel. Crucially, visits to pilgrimage sites are increasingly framed as darshan tours reflecting how increased scheduling privileges darshan and donation as the principal religious act.

The aim of this study is to identify the salient attributes of one-day cultural tours provided by ground operators. The research is based on the netnography approach, using as a main data source user-generated content (UGC) on TripAdvisor. A total of 233 reviews were processed applying thematic analysis through the R package for Qualitative Data Analysis (RQDA). Following an open coding procedure, five dimensions of service experience, possibly connected to tourist satisfaction were identified – the quality of tour guiding, the overall organization of the trip, sites visited, comfort of transport vehicles, and value for money. In practical terms, the findings will be of use to tour operators for designing a competitive product. As research on customer satisfaction regarding organized tours is limited, especially when one-day tours are concerned, this paper contributes to better understanding of the factors that affect it. The study complements existing knowledge of tourist satisfaction by providing insight and a model specifically tailored to one-day cultural tours, which are a growing segment in tour operator activities. The main limitation of the study is connected to the method used – it identifies salient attributes and prioritizes them, but cannot describe the nature and strength of the impact.

This study aims to investigate Iranian tourists’ travel motivations to Turkey and their satisfaction level with all-inclusive package tours to this country. Based on an in-depth literature review, a questionnaire was developed and data were collected from 383 Iranian tourists who stayed in resort hotels in Antalya, Turkey. The research findings reveal that entertainment, being a family friendly destination, weather, cultural resources and quality of resort hotels were the main motivational factors among Iranian tourists for visiting Turkey. Main reasons for the participants for selecting all-inclusive package tours include predetermined schedules, service quality, set price and elimination of extra spending. The research findings show a high level of satisfaction with all-inclusive package tours. However, there were differences among respondents based on gender and age. The study concludes with offering specific theoretical and practical implications. Suggestions for future research are also provided.

We employ an integrated model to decide the location of the most optimum harbor infrastructure of tourism in determining the tourism attractiveness for destinations. This study identifies the factors that influence the tourists’ choice for destination and evaluates the tourists’ preference for destinations. A 4-level AHP model, consisting of 22 attributes on the 4th level, developed by Tzu-Kuang Hsu, was proposed and tested using data collected from tourists who visited Bali to establish the relative importance of pre-selected factors (criteria). By using fuzzy set theory and TOPSIS, the preference of 47 given destinations corresponding to each criterion can be evaluated and their final rankings can also be defined. Based on the results of this preference, ten alternative port locations were evaluated using Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) models to find the travel package tours with a minimum duration that can be visited with a long period of time. The TSP model implemented in this study is expected to be able to integrate tourist destinations and transportation systems. The results of computation using the TSP model revealed that Benoa Harbor is the best place to dock for cruise ships based on the number and rank of the tourist preference for destinations that can be visited.

Abstract Issues concerning seniors’ participation in tourism have been of increasing interest to many researchers. This results from their dynamic growth in the world’s most developed societies which, together with cultural changes, contributes to greater participation in various forms of tourism. So far, this phenomenon has been examined by applying quantitative methods, surveys being the most common. Some researchers state that qualitative methods may also be of great use in the analysis of tourist behaviour. Therefore, this article aims at presenting the methodological conditions of participant observation as a qualitative method for analysing such behaviour. Its use is exemplified by research findings on Polish seniors conducted among participants of package tours to various European countries. It presents observations concerning their behaviour in both time and space. Special attention was paid to seniors’ motives and the forms of tourism those motives led to.

The article is aimed at analyzing the tourist flow in Ukraine. An analysis of the UNWTO research shows that in the period up to 2030 an increase of the tourism profits by almost 2 times compared to 2010 is forecast. At the same time, there is a tendency of an increase in the interest of Ukrainians in holidays abroad, despite a number of political and economic reasons. It should be noted that the number of tourism activities entities operating in Kharkiv region occupy 6.2% of the total number of such entities in Ukraine. Analyzing the statistics, it should be noted that of the top 10 countries that Ukrainians chose for travel, 9 are countries focused on swimming and beach holidays, as well as those that are the leaders of package tours from the tour operators of Ukraine. The first place was taken by Egypt as an all-year-round tourist destination. For this country, tour operators put charter programs throughout the year, offering three main resorts: Sharm El Sheikh, Hurghada and Marsa Alam. The second place is taken by Turkey , the leading country for choosing a vacation among Ukrainians. It is worth noting that in addition to traditional Antalya, also the resorts such as Dalaman, Bodrum and Izmir are gaining popularity in Kharkiv region. Spain and the UAE have significantly increased volumes, Greece received a traditionally high percentage. Upon the carried out analysis, it is possible to state the dynamics of growth of the number of Ukrainians traveling abroad. This is facilitated by such factors as the introduction of a visa-free regime and the arrival of low-cost airlines in the Ukrainian market. For the development of domestic tourism, a positive point is the opening of direct air communication between the cities of Ukraine. Thus, the introduction of seasonal regional routes, for example, Kharkiv – Odesa or Kharkiv – Lviv allows generating the flow of domestic tourists to the main tourist destinations of the country, and Ukrainians get the opportunity to travel around Ukraine quickly and at competitive prices.

Our paper tackles the novel issues of the economic impacts and innovations in tourism marketing in the 21st century. The paper examines the economic impact of tourism and its influence on the economy and the tourism industry in general from the angle of innovations in the tourism marketing and the new challenges for the tourism industry brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic that disrupted international tourism and caused major economic losses to the industry. We analyse the changes that the coronavirus pandemic made to the tourism industry and focus on the novel trends in tourism marketing that embeds the new informational technologies such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), online Zoom tours, and other novelties that emerged after the lockdowns and social distancing imposed in the first half of 2020 in order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus infection. Our results show that tourism marketing in the 21st century should be based on sustainable management and provide the right answers to questions about the impacts of tourism on the economy without sacrificing positive economic growth. We also show that information technologies might offer viable alternatives to massive international over-tourism and package tours ensuring both the safety of travel and deeper immersion into the travel experience before, during, and after the trip. Our outcomes might be useful for tourism scholars, policymakers, as well as stakeholders specializing in international tourism marketing.

The development of the collaborative consumption also determines a restructuring of the tourist market and imposes changes in the demand for tourist product. A result of the opportunities it offers is the emergence of unpredictability at the consumer’s behavior- tourists are looking for a new type of product to be created for their individual needs. Improving the link between the client and the others, involved at the creation of a tourist package, as well as offering new and diverse tourist products are presented as a way to respond to the current demand changes. Outlined are trends in the formation of a new tourist product, adapted to the contemporary consumer’s needs. The paper analyzes the impact of the sharing economy on indicators, measuring changes of the attitude of tourists, connected to the preferred ways of travelling. Relatively to the examined subject, it is also researched the behavior of the Bulgarian tour operators, aimed at preserving and expanding their market positions. It is proved the need to adapt the product policy of the travel agencies to the outlined economic situation, in order to achieve sustainable development and competitiveness.

Full textAbstract:
This paper focuses on the role of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the sustainable independent tourism and hospitality. Moreover, it attempts to identify emerging trends in tourism of the 21st century. Nowadays, tourism has become more independent on large travel agencies and package tours and this transition has been caused by the development of Internet and information technologies. Most recently, the rise of the sharing economy had an array of important implications for the tourism sector with such digital platforms as Uber, Airbnb, Gett, Lyft, TripAdvisor, Expedia or Booking.com replacing the traditional ways to travel. Surely, independent tourism is not for everyone and might be restricted to small groups of people. However, it is crucial for sustainable development in tourism and hospitality sector due to the fact that it can replace massive tourism and limit the extent of overtourism in many popular destinations.
