Shan Genzhi, Yee Choy Leong, Choo Wei Chong, Ramachandran Sridar & Zhang Ping
Abstract: The paper analyzes and investigates the factors influencing the residents’ perception and support in the context of rural historical tourism destination based on a revised stakeholder theory. As a core stakeholder, residents’ reluctance and ignorance in participation in tourism have led to some deterioration and damage in historical sites. Thus, sustainable evaluation of local residents is the essential prerequisite to boost a balanced historical tourism development. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is…

Tourism Impacts on Destinations: Insights from a Systematic Review of Literature
Atchara Salee, S. Mostafa Rasoolimanesh & Camelia May Li Kusumo
Abstract: This paper aims to systematically review and analyse the current research on tourism impacts on destinations for the period 2016–2020. The study evaluated 80 published articles selected from the Scopus database to identify the types of tourism impacts and subthemes to indicate their pattern. The majority of the studies examined economic, sociocultural, and environmental dimensions, both positively and negatively. Often, the political, technological, and tourism aspects were neglected. Moreover, the most used theory to study tourism impact is Social Exchange Theory (SET). In addition, this study highlights the use of quantitative research to analyse tourist impact on destinations. Equally important, the study finds that the majority of scholars explored tourism impact based on residents’ perceptions. The findings suggest directions for future studies on tourism impacts and provide practical implications to manage tourism development in destinations in a sustainable manner…

A Systematic Literature Review on Tourism Networks, Knowledge Transfer, Absorptive Capacity, and Performance
Muaz Azinuddin, Nur Shahirah Mior Shariffuddin, Mohd Hafiz Mohd Hanafiah, Ahmad Puad Mat Som & Wan Mohd Adzim Wan Mohd Zain
Abstract: Although there is a prevalence of studies that have analysed crucial components of networks, there is a paucity of empirical efforts that explicitly addresses the intrinsic elements associated with structural knowledge movement in networks within the tourism performance realm. To address this gap, this study systematically investigates the interrelatedness between networks, knowledge transfer, absorptive capacity and tourism performance. The systematic literature review (SLR) method was used to select and analyse relevant research works published for the past 20 years. The results reveal that tourism scholars give knowledge-based variables, namely knowledge transfer,…

Systematic Literature Review (SLR) on the Application of Regression Techniques in Hospitality Management
Tahir Sufi, Selim Ahmad & Rafikul Islam
Abstract: Managers are expected to make data-driven decisions instead of simply making a decision based on general observations or intuition. In this regard, regression analysis is one of the data analysis techniques that guides managers in forecasting and optimising decision-making. Further, advanced statistical techniques in the research studies of any academic discipline also demonstrate scientific progress and degree of maturity as well as establish the generation of non-speculative knowledge…
