The connection between cultural tourism and VFR tourism from immigrant hosts’ perspectives
Cultural tourism study flourished after World War II (Richards, 2018) and Visiting friends and relatives (VFR) tourism drew considerable attention in academia since 1990 (Yousuf & Baker, 2015). The former involves both physical aspects (e.g. heritage sites, monuments and so on) and social aspects (e.g. the way of life of people) of the destination’s culture. Here, the motivation for tourists is the culture or the elements of culture (Cohen, 1972) where the tourists may explore the heritage sites (Ashworth & Turnbridge, 1990) or specific attractions (Richards, 1996). The …

Exposure-Investment-Return Continuum In Agritourism, Nicole L. Vaugeois
Exposure-Investment-Return Continuum In Agritourism, Nicole L. Vaugeois
TTRA Canada 2019 Conference
Farm diversification through agri-tourism requires that farmers understand and make complex decisions about the extent of exposure to tourism that they want their farm operation to have and the potential return on investment. To date, the academic literature has provided limited assistance to aid in navigating these decisions. While studies have reported that investments in agri-tourism are correlated to increased revenue potential there is limited evidence of differentiated returns depending on the type of exposure that a farm provides to visitors. This paper introduces an exposure-investment continuum that will allow for future testing by researchers to determine the trade-offs in …

Motives To Take A Gamified Trip: An Interpretative Study Using Q Method, Ye (Sandy) Shen, Marion Joppe, Hwan-Suk Chris Choi, Sunghwan Yi
Motives To Take A Gamified Trip: An Interpretative Study Using Q Method, Ye (Sandy) Shen, Marion Joppe, Hwan-Suk Chris Choi, Sunghwan Yi
TTRA Canada 2019 Conference
Destinations have initiated different gamification practices in the last 10 years. However, there is a lack of understanding of what constitutes gamified trips as well as tourists’ motives to take such a trip. Knowing why tourists would like to engage in a gamified context can help designers create valuable games and offer more memorable experiences. This research sheds light upon the concept and categorization of gamified trips, expands the use of Q method to examine travel motives, and proposes six types of players of gamified trips. Additionally, it provides implications for DMOs on how to apply gamification to attract potential …

Residents As Destination Advocates: A Netnographic Exploration Of Resident-Generated Advocacy Through A Facebook Travel Group, Michael Lever, Dr. Statia Elliot
TTRA Canada 2019 Conference
Like many destinations, Canada began this year with an increase in international visitors (Destination Canada, 2019). An attributing factor to this growth is the phenomenon of social media and, more specifically, social networking sites (SNS) such as Facebook, which emphasize a user’s relationships, as supported by their conversations, identity, reputation, and presence (Kietzmann, Hermkens, McCarthy, & Silvestre, 2011; Kim & Fesenmaier, 2017). SNS are now deeply ingrained in our social and economic lives (Usui, Wei, & Funck, 2018; Zeng & Gerritsen, 2014), even surpassing traditional marketing channels in terms of importance and effectiveness (Burgess, Sellitto, Cox, & Buultjens, 2009; O’Connor, …

Profiling The Emotional Peaks And Valleys In Stories Of Cross-Border Shopping, Michael S. Mulvey, Charles E. Gengler
TTRA Canada 2019 Conference
The stories that travellers tell provide valuable insight to tourism managers responsible for shaping travel experiences. Access to consumer stories has never been greater due to the rise of online forums, reviews, and blogs (Gretzel, Fesenmaier, Lee, & Tussyadiah, 2010). Yet, researchers’ ability to make sense of these stories is limited by current theoretical and methodological approaches. We contend that there is an opportunity to develop new approaches to measure customer experience using advanced text analysis and sentiment indices. Specifically, we use narrative theory to explain the importance of emotional peaks and valleys in stories and propose a natural language …
Tourism Operators On Trial: Pushing The Animal Justice Agenda Forward In Tourism In Spite Of Theory, David Fennell, Val Sheppard
Tourism Operators On Trial: Pushing The Animal Justice Agenda Forward In Tourism In Spite Of Theory, David Fennell, Val Sheppard
TTRA Canada 2019 Conference
Abstract:
Justice tourism is emerging to be a topic of considerable interest as scholars strive to emphasise several important themes around the fair distribution of resources and benefits between and within societies (Mihalic & Fennell, 2014; Smith & Duffy, 2003). There is the belief that tourism must be ethical, share equity, underscore solidarity between hosts and guests, and place emphasis on respect, self-determination, as well as benefits on many different social, economic, and cultural levels (Scheyvens, 2002). An example of this type of research comes from Jamal and Camargo (2014), who discuss how limited distributive justice can be within destinations …

The Role Of Sustainable Local Food Among Tourism Stakeholders: A Comparative Study In Vancouver, Canada And Christchurch, New Zealand, Hiran Roy, C.Michael Hall, Paul W. Ballantine
TTRA Canada 2019 Conference
Local food is increasingly regarded as an element of sustainable tourism and hospitality. This study examines restaurant and chefs’ (tourism stakeholders) perceptions, motivations, and constraints in buying local food ingredients from local farmers’ market vendors on a study conducted in Vancouver, Canada and Christchurch, New Zealand. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with restaurants and chefs. The study identified that restaurants and chefs are most interested in perceived tangible benefit such as freshness, as well as more intangible motivations such as supporting local farmers and the local economy/community/businesses. However, they experienced challenges with purchasing. Based on the findings, strategies are posited for …
