New realities: a systematic literature review on virtual reality and augmented reality in tourism research

A systematic literature review of risk and gender research in tourism

The existing literature mapping the state of mixed methods research in tourism does not provide in-depth information concerning the number and type of mixed methods studies published in tourism, or the paradigmatic beliefs informing the mix of quantitative and qualitative studies in the same project. By conducting a systematic review of articles published between 2005 and 2016 in tourism journals, this work seeks to answer four main research questions: (1) how have different tourism scholars employed mixed methods in their studies?; (2) what approaches have been utilised in mixed methods studies?; (3) how are paradigm(s) conceptualised in mixed method designs?; and (4) how is reflexivity operationalised in mixed method designs? Overall, the findings show that the majority of mixed methods tourism studies have not declared their epistemological, ontological and axiological stances. Also, the studies tended to privilege sequential mixes over concurrent approaches, and reflexivity was rarely contemplated.

A thematic analysis was used in order to identify emergent themes from the dataset, which were explored and discussed in relation to the existing literature on complaining behavior as well as the aims of the study. The six phases of analysis outlined in the relevant literature was used to guide data analysis.Findings – Analysis of the 320 scripts produced a total of 1,453 different incidents.

Air the anger: investigating online complaints on luxury hotels

Vacation needs and the family decision-making processes are well researched in tourism. However, the role and influence of young children on parents’ hotel choice remains sparsely researched in the context of Asian families. This study, hence, examines parents’ choice criteria of resort hotels when holidaying with young children. Fifteen in-depth interviews with parents in Malaysia revealed five main themes: travel distance, quality of interactions, child-friendly amenities, safety, and family-oriented programs. Findings point to the importance of providing specific hotel amenities and services such as baby toilet seats and bottle warmers to create a satisfactory holiday experience. Findings also demonstrate how resorts can add to family quality-of-life by encouraging parent–child interactions through family-oriented activities. In this way, resort hotels are building social capital. Marketing and managerial implications for family-oriented resorts in Malaysia are offered.
