ertr: A Pathfinder
This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called ertr.
Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:
Review; Ertr; Destination; Development; Travel; Tourists; Management; Image; Service; Information; Industry; Hospitality; Hotel; Data; Marketing; Media; Use; Satisfaction; Experience; Analysis; Accommodation; Technology; Heritage; Activities; Model; Reviews; Covid-19; Experiences; China; User; Risk; Impacts; Consumers; Women; Mobile; Design; Language; Airline; Event; Airbnb; Game; Intentions; Museum; Mobility; Approach; Demand; Asia; Anja; Jason; Jeffrey; Jinwon; Yana; Cinta; Claudia; Carol; Trini; Finland; Field; Pilgrimage; Danielle; Mele; Minasi; Authenticity
Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

To test intercultural sensitivity between women and men flight attendants, this paper explored intercultural sensitivity in a sample of 204 flight attendants in the Middle East. Keywords: attendants; flight; gender; interaction; research; sensitivity; tourism; women
Mobile
- Love Too Deep or Hard to Leave? A Study of Mobile Application Loyalty by Wu, Jialin (Snow); Zheng, Chen; Ye, Shun; Law, Rob (2020) - The results of Multigroup Structural Equation Modelling support our model, and indicate that the positive association of App satisfaction on App loyalty is stronger for bookers who do not stick to one brand from computer website to mobile App; furthermore, for those who are with high brand viscosity, habit and switching cost plays an important role in leading to App loyalty. The positive effect of habit and switching cost on App loyalty was significant only for those bookers with brand viscosity (using same brand for hotel booking via mobile App or computer website). Keywords: app; habit; loyalty; mobile; research; switching
Design
- Designing Location-based Augmented Reality Games for Urban Tourism: A Conceptual Framework by Weber, Jessika; Dickinson, Janet (2018) - Game locations were randomly introduced in the game and did not support the narrative climax (Wetzel et al., 2011), which is less stimulating in wide-area games. Keywords: location-based games, mobile game experience, tourism experience design, engagement, augmented reality, mobile game research 1 Introduction The game design of LBARGs is currently experiencing a flourishing interest from game designers (Wetzel et al., 2011), tourism researchers (Zach and Tussyadiah 2017) as well as commercial companies outside the academic context. Keywords: design; engagement; game; lbargs; location; players; tourism

Airline
- Willingness to pay for safe flights during and after crises by Regev, Sharon Teitler (2018) - In addition, older people who had travelled abroad at least twice and those with stronger ties to religion were willing to pay more for airline tickets. Willingness to pay (WTP) for airline tickets has been the focus of some scholarly work, which has found that factors such as leg room and reliability have a strong impact on WTP for airline tickets, while WTP for reduced penalties in case of a flight change is relatively low (Balcombe, Fraser & Harris, 2009; Espino, Martin & Roman, 2008; Lee & Luengo-Prado, 2004; Martin, Roman & Espino, 2008). Keywords: age; airline; research; tourism; vol; willingness; wtp
- Electronic Distribution Channels of Airline Ticket by Lee, Yun Eui; Sun, Sunny; Law, Rob; Zhong, Lina (2020) - On the othe hand, there were little differences of airline ticket prices between North American-based” and European- based” OTAs. In other words, airline ticket price charged by “Asia” OTAs is significantly cheaper than that charged by “North America”, “Europe”, and “Others” OTAs. Keywords: airline; channels; distribution; otas; price; research; ticket; tourism

I felt called to deepen my understanding of ‘why’ experiences are so central to our collective passion for tourism and events and from then on, I was hooked on academic enquiry. Keywords: event; research; tourism
Airbnb
- Gamification in Airbnb: Benefits and Risks by Sigala, Marianna; Toni, Martina; Renzi, Maria Francesca; Di Pietro, Laura; Mugion, Roberta Guglielmetti (2019) - To engage users, game mechanics need to afford extrinsic and/or intrinsic motivations (Hamari et al., 2014): utilitarian (usefulness, ease of use), hedonic (enjoyment, playfulness) and social (recognition, social influence). Funware is the use of game mechanics to influence the users’ psychology and encourage desired users’ psychological and behavioural outcomes such as (Sigala, 2015a; Leclercq et al., 2018): flow, customer engagement, participation in co-creation, brand loyalty. Keywords: airbnb; game; gamification; mechanics; p2p; research; tourism; university

Intentions
- Using social media to promote pro-sustainability behaviours: a quasi-experimental study on message framing by Stadlthanner, Katja Anna; Andreu, Luisa; Font, Xavier (2019) - Research hypotheses and conceptual framework In summary, 1) there is limited research on the effectiveness of message frames in increasing cause involvement, 2) there is discrepancy in the findings, and 3) not enough studies have tested the effect of a combination of outcome and target frames on cause involvement, as this study does. Will a combination of outcome and target message frames be able to increase cause involvement and if so, which message frame combination is most effective in doing so? Keywords: advertising; cause; csr; frames; intentions; involvement; message; outcome; research; target
Museum
- Museumpark Revisit: A Data Mining Approach in the Context of Hong Kong by Lam, Chi Fung; Luo, Jian Ming (2018) - The museums included were the Space Museum, Museum of Art, Museum of History, Science Museum, and Heritage Museum as other museums did not yield sufficient data.

Mobility
- #VanLife: Materiality, Makeovers and Mobility amongst Digital Nomads by Gretzel, Ulrike; Hardy, Anne (2019) - Hashtags such as #etsy further suggest that not all their work is purely digital but certainly supported by digital technologies. It connects it to digital nomadism and compares and contrasts it to RVing/camping. Keywords: hashtags; materiality; mobility; nomadism; posts; research; tourism; vanlife
- Commentary on Second Homes Tourism and Mobilities Are we breaking free from tradition? by Volo, Serena (2018) - A few published studies are including traces of the changing landscape of second home tourism mobility and several noteworthy topics seem to emerge (e.g. Norris, Paris and Winston, 2010; Paris, 2011; Halfacree, 2012; Hall, 2015a; Persson, 2015). The new mobility paradigm (Sheller and Urry, 2006; Duncan, Cohen, and Thulemark, 2013; Hall, 2015b) creates significant research opportunities when investigating second homes tourism; indeed, as the borders between ordinary and extraordinary dimensions of space and time become loose, scholars in the field of second home tourism must broaden the scope of investigation. Keywords: hall; homes; mobility; research; tourism
Approach
- Commentary on Tourism and Mobilities The End of Tourism as We Know it? by Cooper, Chris (2018) - The mobilities paradigm certainly creates both opportunities and challenges for tourism, it helps to place tourism research in the mainstream of the social sciences, breaking down disciplinary silos and encouraging connections to be made across scales and topics (Hannam et al , 2006). Nonetheless, the mobilities paradigm does create challenges for tourism research. Keywords: approach; mobilities; paradigm; research; tourism

Jason
- Emerging Scholar Profile: Dr. Jason L. Stienmetz by Stienmetz, Jason L (2018) - First and foremost, the study established that network principles hold true for tourism destinations and validates the “value network” paradigm of destination value creation. This work also suggests that destination systems can be managed through an understanding of their network structures and that tourism destinations should not be considered as amalgams of independent touchpoints, but instead as dynamic systems where outcomes are dependent on the relationships between touchpoints.
