About ATR

期刊簡介

Annals of Tourism Research is a social sciences journal focusing upon academic perspectives on tourism. For the purposes of determining areas of interest, tourism is defined as a global economic activity comprising travel behaviour, the management and marketing activities of service industries that arise to meet consumer demand, the effects of tourism activities on communities and policy and governance at local, national and international levels. While striving for a balance of theory and application, Annals is ultimately dedicated to developing theoretical constructs that span business and the social and behavioural sciences. Disciplinary areas include, but are not limited to: service industries management, marketing science, consumer marketing, decision-making and behaviour, business ethics, economics and forecasting, environment, geography and development, education and knowledge development, political science and administration, consumer-focused psychology, and anthropology and sociology. Its strategies are to invite and encourage offerings from various disciplines; to serve as a forum through which these may interact; and thus to expand frontiers of knowledge in and contribute to the literature on tourism social science from a multidisciplinary perspective.

Annals of Tourism Research為雙月刊，其最新一期(Volume 117 March 2026)開設“Commentary”“Articles”“Research Notes and Reports”三個欄目，共計8篇文章，詳情如下。

Commentary

Validating tourism modeling with real data

Massimiliano Ferrara, Wassili Lasarov, Giampaolo Viglia

The framework recently proposed by Nieto-García et al. (2023) presents a provocative critique of tourism research, identifying “researcher myopia” as a systematic failure to measure actual behavior. This commentary, through empirical validation with a large-scale tourism monitoring project, reveals the limitations of stated intentions, and highlights the necessity of behavioral measurement (i.e., Real Data) as a foundation for effective tourism policy. As McCabe (2024) argues, advancing theory in tourism requires grounding conceptual frameworks in rigorous empirical observation rather than relying solely on theoretical abstraction.

Articles

Portals and pixels: The embodied enchantment of virtual reality

Chloe Preece, Pilar Rojas-Gaviria, Laryssa Whittaker

Tourist experiences of fictional places and the role of imaginaries in mediatised travel have received significant attention. This paper examines how virtual reality stimulates imagination through agentic creativity, as users shape, interpret and co-construct virtual space and time through their bodies. Using magical realism as a lens, where the ordinary is infused with the extraordinary, we show how virtual reality transports users from domestic routines into imaginative elsewheres that both disorient and enchant. Unlike prior studies framing virtual reality as a sustainable substitute for visiting destinations, we argue that it expands what counts as tourism and what it means to travel. We conceptualise virtual lieux d'imagination as portals to elsewhere-ness, realised through a widened, decentred tourist gaze and fostering reflexivity.

The impact of user-generated images on subsequent ratings: Evidence from a quasi-experimental design

Tian-Yu Han, Zi-Han Wei, Jian-Wu Bi, Fei-Yu Wei

This study aims to examine the impact of user-generated images on subsequent ratings in the context of online travel agency platforms. Using over 700,000 TripAdvisor reviews and a multi-period difference-in-differences design, we identify causal effects. Results show user-generated images generally raise later ratings, but the effect varies by image quality. High-quality images exhibit negligible effects, suggesting the two effects may offset each other. Low-quality images exert a stronger influence, indicating that at least one of these mechanisms dominates. Under low-quality conditions, fewer images drive greater rating changes, highlighting the dominant role of expectation disconfirmation. Our findings provide valuable implications for optimizing online travel agency platform design, refining product marketing strategies, and enhancing customer satisfaction.

Being there as artist-researcher in creative tourism

Vanessa ágata de Abreu Santos

This paper advances the critical turn in tourism studies by examining creative tourism through an embodied, reflexive approach informed by Heidegger's notion of “being there in the world.” Using the researcher's body as a tool of inquiry, it shows how identity and intersectionality shape tourism encounters and knowledge production, urging attention to lived complexity and critical engagement. A multi-case study of five UNESCO Creative Cities in Portugal combines critical discourse analysis with a design-based autoethnographic method, User Experience in Real Life. Findings reveal a gap between branding and lived reality, exposing postcolonial entanglements, gender inequalities, tokenization of artists, precarity of creative labor, and tensions between heritage preservation and commercialization, while embodied participation identifies concrete service design gaps.

Tourist expression heterogeneity in multimodal sentiment

Jing Zhang, Jun Li, Jie Mu, Jian Xu, Hengyun Li

Multimodal sentiment analysis has captivated substantial interest in tourism and hospitality. However, extant research overlooks that travelers exhibit diverse preferences in sentiment expression across image, text, and rating modalities. To surmount the limitation, we innovatively present an indicator-based multimodal interactive fusion network. It extracts indicators from online reviews to precisely gauge heterogeneity in sentiment expression. Moreover, we formulate an indicator-based attention mechanism that dynamically assigns weights to modalities in sentiment prediction according to the relative contributions of different modalities to sentiment expression. Additionally, we explore sentiment expression differences across tourism scenarios by integrating travel type heterogeneity and destination category heterogeneity. Experimental findings show that the proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art methods, offering deeper insights into multimodal sentiment analysis in tourism.

Research Notes and Reports

Can the 2025 Nobel prizes in physics and economics inspire a “quantum” turn in tourism research?

Waqas Ali

Tourism research increasingly recognises that behaviour and system change are complex, adaptive, and uncertain. Recent theoretical advances such as entropy reduction in tourism (Li et al., 2025) and renewed calls for stronger theoretical integration across disciplines (McCabe, 2024) have encouraged scholars to move beyond metaphorical borrowing and toward theory building that explains the distinctive features of tourism. Tourism studies have also long drawn on ideas from economics and psychology to capture complexity in choice and behaviour, for example through discrete choice models inspired by McFadden's work on choice behaviour (McFadden, 2001). Responding to this trajectory, this paper proposes a quantum perspective that connects developments in physics and economics with behavioural and systemic theories of tourism.

Arctic science and tourism in Svalbard - two sides of the same coin?

Jundan Jasmine Zhang, Roger Norum, René van der Wal

How independent is science from tourism? How come that they are often found alongside each other in many parts of the world, and what does this mean? We look at this in High Arctic Svalbard, a clear hotspot for science and tourism. We find that what drives both enterprises to the archipelago is the desire for exploration and experience. By presenting how science and tourism co-evolve throughout time, and how large-scale factors keep them together, we argue that science and tourism are deeply intertwined and can potentially be seen as two sides of the same coin. We therefore call for recognition of their interdependence when working towards sustainable Arctic futures.

Inflation expectations and international travel demand

Puneet Vatsa

This note incorporates household inflation expectations, which are central to consumption theory but overlooked in tourism economics, into models of international travel demand. Using monthly data on U.S. visitor arrivals to Canada, I find that a 1 % increase in household inflation expectations is associated with a 0.42 % rise in tourist arrivals by air. Land-based tourist arrivals also exhibit a positive association, although the evidence is weaker. No significant effects are detected for same-day travel. Gasoline prices, income, and exchange rates are statistically insignificant. The findings highlight the importance of considering inflation expectations for understanding international travel behavior.
