Opis: The paper introduces a fresh perspective on the intricate relationship between the destination, guests, and shore excursions. Despite its significance, the shore excursion product has been a relatively unexplored area in academic literature. Our research, therefore, sets out to define the attributes that form the bedrock of the basic sustainability indicators in tourism, with a specific focus on cruise shore excursions. We aim to pinpoint the parameters contributing to the most sustainable shore excursion for cruise passengers. This will be followed by constructing a comprehensive system dynamic structure that reflects the correlations between these parameters and their interdependency, thereby identifying areas that warrant further academic research.

Opis: This study conducts a bibliometric and systematic literature review (SLR) of luxury tourism research, analysing 72 Scopus-indexed articles from 2000 to 2025. The findings reveal a growing interest in luxury tourism, with publication peaks in 2024 (14 articles) and notable growth between 2022 and 2023. Italy leads in research output (8 articles), followed by the UK, New Zealand, and China (7 each), while developing nations like Indonesia remain underrepresented. Thematic analysis identifies key clusters, including socio-economic impacts, luxury consumer behaviour, and sustainability in hospitality. Research predominantly employs qualitative methodology (38 studies) as the primary data collection tool. Emerging trends emphasize digitalization, sustainability, and experiential luxury tourism, with increasing use of AI, machine learning, and social media analytics. The study highlights the multidisciplinary nature of luxury tourism, intersecting with business, social sciences, and environmental studies. Mixed-method approaches are gaining traction, blending qualitative depth with quantitative generalizability. Key challenges include balancing luxury tourism’s economic benefits with sustainability and addressing infrastructural gaps in emerging destinations. The VOSviewer analysis underscores global research collaborations, with Europe and Asia as dominant contributors. Practical implications suggest that stakeholders should prioritize sustainable practices, digital marketing, and personalized experiences to cater to luxury tourists. Future research should explore developing markets, cultural influences, and policy impacts to enrich the global understanding of luxury tourism dynamics.

Opis: Sustainability is a core and primary outcome of place attachment studies, an increasingly popular research topic in the tourism industry. It is a significant concern in daily life because of social and environmental issues and the need to preserve legacy and facilities to maintain tourism destinations. In this study, the Scopus database and keywords related to place attachment, sustainability, and tourism were used to identify the papers. The result revealed that 720 papers were found in the Scopus database from 1988 to 2023. After filtering the data, only 448 papers were included for further analysis. In this study, authors use the bibliometrics analysis technique, VOSviewer, and RStudio software to quantify and visualise the existing literature on place attachment and sustainability and evaluate the main overview of the research summary. This study aims to present a bibliometric overview of place attachment towards sustainability in tourism research. The study employed co-occurrence of keywords, most prolific authors, most cited countries, most cited articles, and co-authorship by country analyses. The findings show significant growth in the field of place attachment and sustainability research, including authors, significant journals, research papers, and countries.

Opis: This paper represents a narrative literature review on gamification within tourism and hospitality sector (T&H). Out of 61 studies, 55 papers examined the importan-ce of adopting gamification in this industry but failed to acknowledge the role of motivational affordances that are responsible for invoking gameful experiences in tourism apps and promoting sustainable travel practices which benefits all gamifi-cation parties specifically app designers, core service providers, third party service providers, and tourists or players. Motivational affordances are crucial for the fulfil-ment of basic psychological needs for relatedness, autonomy, mastery, and purpose, that in turn induces further behavioural outcomes reflected in achieving meanin-gful users’ interaction, engagement, and loyalty in addition to potentially achieving rewards. Hence, the researchers have searched in a number of databases including Elsevier, ResearchGate, Routledge, Springer, and Scopus to reveal whether gamifica-tion literature within T&H sector provided enough examinations for motivational affordances and their ultimate effects on psychological and behavioural outcomes. Finally, the researchers elaborated on specific future research directions.

Opis: Tipping in the hospitality industry is a widespread but under-researched phenomenon, particularly in regions where cultural, economic, and social dynamics diverge from established norms. This study explores the critical role of consumer-perceived value in shaping tipping behaviour in the restaurant industry, specifically focusing on Croatia – a context where unique cultural, economic, and social dynamics influence tipping practices. Analysing data from 438 Croatian residents, the study reveals how service dimensions – such as food quality, ambiance, service convenience, and server quality – intersect with demographic characteristics and payment methods to influence tipping practices and WoM recommendations. The research situates Croatia’s tipping practices within the broader framework of tourism innovation, emphasizing the interplay of legislative reforms (such as the introduction of card-based tipping), operational advancements (such as the integration of digital payment systems), and evolving cultural norms. These innovations enhance the dining experience for both locals and international tourists, aligning local hospitality practices with global standards. The findings underscore how transitional economies can leverage these combined innovations to strengthen their competitiveness in the global tourism market while fostering positive tourist perceptions.
