PurposeThis paper aims to review and map the landscape of luxury wine consumption in multidisciplinary literature. It highlights the key themes of analysis, consumer markets and common behaviours of luxury wine consumption.Design/methodology/approachThe paper analyses 85 articles on luxury wine consumption using Leximancer and content analysis.FindingsSix main topics in the extant literature are identified as follows: product perception, wine price, wine information, consumption behaviour, group and China market. Our study revealed the shift in luxury consumption towards affordability, availability, middle-class, younger consumers and predominantly Asian markets.Research limitations/implicationsAs a follow-up to this research, empirical research on luxury wine consumption is needed to establish more precise definitions of terms.Social implicationsWine as a product is susceptible to social changes and preferences, positioning it between old and common luxury.Originality/valueThis research offers theoretical insights into research on luxury wine, including how the literature reflects recent societal changes. It also provides a roadmap for future research in this field.

This paper reviews resident tourism attitude research through the lens of the individual- and community-level perceived impacts of and responses to tourism. It explores how perceived impacts of tourism and responses to tourism development have been conceptualised and measured in the existing resident attitudes models published between 1990 and 2020. Three categories of variables were identified and used: antecedent variables, tourism impact variables, and dependent variables. The latter three categories are used to discuss the research topic from the lenses of improvements in measurement instruments. Finally, the paper suggests rethinking the overall conceptualisation of residents’ perceptions of and reactions to tourism – it proposes future research directions to distinguish between individual-level and community-level effects and reactions.

Purpose - Crisis management has developed as an established field of scholarly research in tourism over the last three decades. More recently, the concept of resilience has emerged within this body of literature as a longer-term planning process. However, significant knowledge gaps remain, especially regarding the strategic responses of small tourism businesses in destinations prone to repeated crises.\ud Design/methodology/approach - This chapter reviews the literature related to crisis management and resilience in tourism.\ud Findings – Key knowledge gaps are outlined and discussed in the context of tourism research related to crisis management and resilience, specifically focusing on research related to small tourism businesses.\ud Originality – Crisis management and resilience are fields of research that continue to generate a considerable amount of scholarly enquiry in tourism. This is particularly evident with studies on the impacts of terrorism on tourism destinations and, more recently, the short and longer-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on tourism. However, there is very little research related to the role of small tourism businesses in this context, despite their crucial role in the tourism system of destinations around the world.

The concept of sustainable tourism is more than a piecemeal policy solution which Agyeman and Evans (2004) described as “just sustainability”; it indicates above all the concept of holistic development and finding such solutions that solve the integrity of the human problems. Therefore, the current generation that is undertaking the governance of tourism and sustainability (Bramwell and Lane, 2011) should be aware that, at this moment, there is a generation of young people that seeks to feel and see the impact of sustainability in their lives. Young people’s views on tourism are very often neglected, making the sustainability concept incomplete. However, at the end of the day, these young people will be part of the community that will live and work in the tourism sector in the future. Hence, in this chapter, we focused on young people to explore their role in a tourism community and how they engage in a participatory way in the planning of their tourism environment. In our study, we have demonstrated that young people are not only ‘residents’ in tourist areas, towns and villages, but participants in events in these areas and careful observers of the environment around them.

Vloga družbenih omrežij in potovalne navade milenijcev so med najbolj vročimi raziskovalnimi temami v turizmu, preseneča pa dejstvo, da še vedno zelo malo vemo o obnašanju milenjcev v fazi načrtovanja potovanj. V članku na podlagi kvantitativne raziskave na mednarodnem vzorcu izobraženih milenijcev proučimo značilnosti faze njihovega načrtovanja in spletnega nakupovanja potovanj ter razjasnimo razlike med vplivi posameznih vrst družbenih omrežij.

This chapter brings in the perspective on the practices of (re)producing heritage through film imagery in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. More specifically, the chapter discusses the recurrent practices of tour guides in reshaping and recreating the heritage of the city of Dubrovnik through film imagery related to the popular TV series, Game of Thrones. The analysis finds that Dubrovnik’s heritage has become a melting pot of three or more narratives that require highly skilled professional guides who are able to provide necessary and accurate interpretation of the heritage. However, the real issue is whether Dubrovnik can continue to sustain itself as a significant heritage destination, since it has been increasingly profiled and promoted through film imagery.

This chapter brings in the perspective on the interrelatedness of social media and popular culture in destination marketing. More specifically, the chapter examines how the Game of Thrones phenomenon was embedded in Instagram activities of the national DMOs in countries where the filming took place. The analysis finds that the DMOs differ in their destination marketing strategies of associating their social media activities to the popular TV series Game of Thrones: they either have no strategy, guard place authenticity, or fabricate place authenticity. While some DMOs decided to not fully exploit the benefits of Game of Thrones-induced tourism in their online marketing activities, Croatia is argued to have excelled in seizing the given opportunities. The analysis provides support for the use of visitor-generated content to be freely incorporated in DMOs social media activities in order to develop destination images and enhance the authenticity of the place, with special emphasis on popular culture tourism.

Dubrovnik has emerged as one of the most popular tourism destinations in the Mediterranean in the last decade. Tourism is one of the fastest growing sectors, with a record increase of 17% in tourist arrivals in 2017 (compared to the country's total tourist arrivals increase of 13%) (Visit Dubrovnik, n.d.). These record numbers create challenges for visitor management. Firstly, most visits take place in the summer months, from June to September. Secondly, most visited attractions are the Old Town, the City Walls and numerous fortresses that are all concentrated in a small place. This creates crowding, congestion, and increased dissatisfaction. Lastly, film-induced tourism may gentrify Dubrovnik's culture and endanger its reputation as a desirable and high-value destination to visit or live in. This chapter presents an overview of the measures taken by the tourism stakeholders to address the growing tourism flows in Dubrovnik.

Slovene tourists represent a third of the Croatian tourism market; hence it makes sense to assess the perception they have about Croatian tourism. A good tourism offer, the image of the country and the personal experience, are paramount in defining and satisfying tourists' wishes and needs. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to examine the perception of Croatian tourism with a special emphasis on identifying differences between different groups of visitors based on their socio-demographic characteristics. A concept of nostalgia was introduced into the research since it is very important to identify its impact on the perception of tourism between citizens of the former Yugoslavia. A concept of yugo-nostalgia proves to be an important differential characteristic in relation to the perceptions of tourism and the country's image. It is necessary to stress that yugo-nostalgia among Slovene visitors means an affective characteristic, which influences the decision to visit Croatia. The survey also shows that visitors' perspective of destination's tourist offer was positive. But there are significant differences in the perception of tourism among groups segmented by sociodemographic characteristics, specifically we observed differences between male and female visitors, between younger and older visitors, and between one-time and regular visitors. Slovenija predstavlja za Hrvaško drugi največji emitivni turistični trg, zato je seveda pomembno preučiti, kakšno percepcijo imajo slovenski obiskovalci o njeni turistični ponudbi na Hrvaškem. Dobra turistična ponudba, imidž države in osebne izkušnje obiskovalca so izjemno pomembni pri ugotavljanju in nato zadovoljevanju želja in potreb obiskovalcev. Zato je bil namen pričujoče raziskave preučiti percepcije turistične ponudbe, s posebnim poudarkom na ugotavljanju razlik med različnimi skupinami obiskovalcev, zlasti glede njihovih sociodemografskih značilnosti. V raziskavo smo vpeljali tudi pojem nostalgije, ki je za percepcijo turistične ponudbe izjemnega pomena, zlasti na področju bivše SFRJ. Pojav jugonostalgije se je izkazal kot pomembna razlikovalna značilnost pri preučevanju percepcije turistične ponudbe in splošnega imidža države. Posebej pomembno je ob tem poudariti, da jugonostalgija med slovenskimi obiskovalci pomeni afektivno značilnost, ki vpliva na odločitev o obisku Hrvaške. Raziskava je tudi pokazala, da slovenski obiskovalci v pretežni meri pozitivno zaznavajo turistično ponudbo Hrvaške. Vendar pri tem obstajajo bistvene razlike v percepciji ponudbe med različnimi skupinami obiskovalcev glede na njihove sociodemografske značilnosti. Razlike smo najprej opazili med moškimi in ženskimi obiskovalci, nato mlajšimi in starejšimi obiskovalci ter nazadnje tudi med enkratnimi in večkratnimi obiskovalci.
