This study aims to identify the key themes featuring tour guides who promote their services through the sharing economy landscape. A content analysis approach was applied to 229 online reviews posted on Tours by Locals by tourists who bought tours in Istanbul. Findings reveal two key themes that summarize how tourists view local tour guides in the sharing economy. These were labelled as interpersonal skills (e.g., good communication, helpfulness) and competence (e.g., knowledge about the history and culture of the attractions). The proposed themes can be useful for both service providers and destination management organizations.

Destination Management During The Health Emergency: A Bibliometric Analysis, Valentina Della Corte, Giovanna Del Gaudio, Giuliana Nevola, Erico Di Taranto, Simone Luongo
University of South Florida (USF) M3 Publishing
The pandemic emergency has shifted the attention from a tourism focused on economic growth to a tourism focused on social wellbeing (Everingham & Chassagne, 2020). Destinations are required to answer new emerging needs in terms of health and safety without precluding the emotional side of the leisure travel experience. One of the ways destinations are rethinking their management is the introduction of innovation in terms of sharing knowledge, creation of new ideas and engagement of stakeholders (Pillmayer, Scherle & Volchek, 2021). Destinations need to strengthen their own networking of operators and relations to reduce risk perception and to ensure security …

Social Media Framework For Businesses, Nawel Amrouche
University of South Florida (USF) M3 Publishing
Social media is gaining popularity and many studies are investigating the topic by providing contradictory conclusions about its effectiveness. To scrutinize this incongruence, we first differentiate social media from other communication tools and describe its challenges. Next, based on an extensive literature review collecting research papers from 2004 to 2016, we propose a structural framework explaining the role of managerial, individual, and contextual variables that affect the social media value chain. We find that social media has a controversial effect on businesses’ objectives depending on the context of studies. We also find that social media’s objectives could be classified into …

Visual learners found the use of VAT moderately easy when performing simple tasks such playing music, asking about the weather, and asking questions. Auditory learners exhibited stronger sentiment scores as well as willingness to use VAT for tasks that are more complex. Practitioners should focus on improvements in other aspects of modality to strengthen visual learners’ involvement with VAT devices.

Novelty And Success Of Healthcare Service Innovation: A Comparison Between China And The Netherlands, Yu Mu, Rujun Wang, Ying Huang
University of South Florida (USF) M3 Publishing
Service innovation has been a hot research topic in general and also in the specific healthcare context. In the literature empirical evidence about the impact of novelty of service innovation on its success is inconclusive. A plausible explanation is that the used analytical frameworks do not fully capture the complexity of service innovation. This study employs a four-dimension framework of novelty and posits that the success of service innovation does not depend on individual dimensions. Based on the set-membership theory with a configurational analysis, as well as a comparison between Chinese and Dutch healthcare systems, this study puts forward propositions …
