Abstract:

This study focuses on two major areas of transformative learning and transformative tourism. The study aims to understand how transformative learning theory developed by Jack Mezirow was first introduced to the academia and then adopted in the field of tourism. Transformative travel and tourism is an emerging paradigm in the travel industry, characterized by travel experiences that lead to profound personal growth, self-discovery, and societal benefits.

Abstract:

The search for experiences that improve our quality of life is pivotal in the new post-pandemic tourism system. Transformative experiences do not only foster linkages between nature and people but also engage tourists with the physical and human values attached to the local environment. Transformative tourism is a path towards the communication of lifestyles that benefit our physical and emotional wellbeing. Drawing on an autoethnography study method, this paper narrates a retreat experienced by the researcher at a World Heritage site located in a bucolic region of La Rioja in northern Spain.

Abstract:

In travel and tourism research, ‘spirituality’ has been postulated as a major proposition to evoke an emotional valence leading to transiency. Travelling, as a mode of realization of one’s deeply embedded gnostic power, might trigger transcendental awakening that connects an individual mind with assorted level of consciousness. However, spiritual tourism has been restricted to the taxonomic notion of travelling and has frequently been explained in the context of social, historical and economic parameters. The discursive shift from a ‘religious’ to ‘spiritual’ travel needs to be addressed in th

Abstract:

Leadership development is an important issue for Qatar as it strives to achieve the ambitious goals set out in its 2030 National Vision (Ministry of Development Planning and Statistics, 2015). Various resources are being invested, but often with minimal results, forcing Qatar to continue to rely on expatriate expertise. Transformative learning experiences that change the deeply held beliefs, worldviews, and frames of reference of what it means to be a 21st century leader in Qatar are needed. This paper presents the case study of an executive leadership development programme to identify key suc

Abstract:

Colleges of agriculture in the US have been challenged to produce candidates prepared with the knowledge, skills, and disposition to engage in a global agricultural industry. Studies show that one of the most influential factors in secondary student perceptions and outlook is their secondary teachers. The adult learning theory of transformative learning by Mezirow indicates a process of making a new or revised interpretation of the meaning of an experience, which guides subsequent understanding, appreciation, and action that is anchored in life experience. To have the most impact, experiences

In the dynamic and evolving tourism industry, engaging with stakeholders is essential for fostering innovation and improving service quality. However, tourism companies often struggle to meet expectations for customer satisfaction through interactivity and real-time feedback. While new digital technologies can address the challenge of providing personalized travel experiences, they can also increase the workload for travel agencies due to the maintenance and updates required to keep travel details current.

This article explores travel as a pedagogical and aesthetic method in the field of architecture and urbanism, proposing an approach grounded in Baumgarten's aesthetic science and the experience of the Valparaíso School in Chile. By distinguishing between sensitive and intellective knowledge, Baumgarten laid the foundation for aesthetics as a science, enabling the application of its principles to diverse fields, including architecture. Through the methodological tripod – planning, action, and recording – travel is presented as a practice of sensory enjoyment, critical reflection, and the constr

Unlike conventional tourism, volunteer tourism situates participants in a space of ambiguity neither fully tourists nor integrated locals. This liminal condition fosters complex emotional and psychological responses, as individuals navigate unfamiliar cultural environments, uncertain roles, and shiftin g expectations.
