- Over the past years, attention has been given to the relevance of network studies as an analytical tool to assess essential features of a tourism destination. This work analyzes the network of Halland County, a tourism destination in South Sweden. The study aims at enhancing the body of knowledge and the comprehension of the structural characterization of the tourism network, deriving indications for policy makers and local stakeholders in order to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the regional tourism system. Tourism stakeholders’ websites were explored using hyperlink network analysis (Baggio, 2007; Raisi et al., 2017). Findings highlight the need for strengthened industry ties and contribute to the industry-wide discussion on exploring network topology as a key source of knowledge for destination management and development, respectively.

Creativity and Tourism Networks : A Contribution to a Post-Mechanistic Economic Theory
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Critical Tourism Studies VII Conference.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We criticize ‘orthodox’ economic theory byapplying the philosophical framework developed by K.H. Brodbeck (2008; 2012). Accordingly,we argue that creativity represents the core activity conducted within theboundaries of socio-economic networks. After discussing the changing notion of creativity throughout history ofthinking, the elements of a post-mechanistic economic framework are presented. Bydoing so, we elaborate on the idea that market economies are complex networksystems of interacting agents (individuals, organisations). In the second part,we conduct network analysis to assess network topologies of European tourismdestinations. By applying the network metric Simmelian brokerage (Latora et al. 2013), we show how network closureand structural holes can affect humans’ creativity. Findings reveal that European destinations show serious creativity gaps.

e-Tourism beyond COVID-19 : a call for transformative research

- This viewpoint article argues that the impacts of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 call for transformative e-Tourism research. We are at a crossroads where one road takes us to e-Tourism as it was before the crisis, whereas the other holds the potential to transform e-Tourism. To realize this potential, e-Tourism research needs to challenge existing paradigms and critically evaluate its ontological and epistemological foundations. In light of the paramount importance to rethink contemporary science, growth, and technology paradigms, we present six pillars to guide scholars in their efforts to transform e-Tourism through their research, including historicity, reflexivity, equity, transparency, plurality, and creativity. We conclude the paper with a call to the e-Tourism research community to embrace transformative research.

Business intelligence and big data in hospitality and tourism : A systematic literature review
- 2018
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management. - : Emerald Group Publishing Limited. - 0959-6119 .- 1757-1049. ; 30:12, s. 3514-3554

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- PurposeThis paper aims to examine the extent to which Business Intelligence and Big Data feature within academic research in hospitality and tourism published until 2016, by identifying research gaps and future developments and designing an agenda for future research.Design/methodology/approachThe study consists of a systematic quantitative literature review of academic articles indexed on the Scopus and Web of Science databases. The articles were reviewed based on the following features: research topic; conceptual and theoretical characterization; sources of data; type of data and size; data collection methods; data analysis techniques; and data reporting and visualization.FindingsFindings indicate an increase in hospitality and tourism management literature applying analytical techniques to large quantities of data. However, this research field is fairly fragmented in scope and limited in methodologies and displays several gaps. A conceptual framework that helps to identify critical business problems and links the domains of business intelligence and big data to tourism and hospitality management and development is missing. Moreover, epistemological dilemmas and consequences for theory development of big data-driven knowledge are still a terra incognita. Last, despite calls for more integration of management and data science, cross-disciplinary collaborations with computer and data scientists are rather episodic and related to specific types of work and research.Research limitations/implicationsThis work is based on academic articles published before 2017; hence, scientific outputs published after the moment of writing have not been included. A rich research agenda is designed.Originality/valueThis study contributes to explore in depth and systematically to what extent hospitality and tourism scholars are aware of and working intendedly on business intelligence and big data. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, it is the first systematic literature review within hospitality and tourism research dealing with business intelligence and big data.
