Understanding the Study Experience of Chinese Tourism Doctoral Students Studying Overseas

ABSTRACT Understanding the study experience of international tourism doctoral students is an important task for the researchers and practitioners in tourism education field. Drawing on qualitative data from Chinese overseas tourism doctoral students, this paper examines their perceptions of difficulties that experienced during their doctoral studies. A constructivist grounded theory approach is adopted. The findings identify three themes: academic, financial and psychological pressure. The study further explores how to support individuals’ doctoral studies from different perspectives, including supervisors, education institutions and society. The findings provide useful insights for governments and educational institutions to better design, promote, and support the doctoral programmes for international tourism students.

Penerapan Metode Principle Component Analysis (PCA) untuk Clustering Data Kunjungan Wisatawan Mancanegara ke Indonesia

The tourism sector is one of the country's biggest foreign exchange earners. Foreign tourist visits to Indonesia reached 16.1 million during 2019. Therefore foreign tourist visits become a very important thing. In this study clustering will be carried out or grouping data on foreign tourist visits into 5 groups for the category of countries with very high, high, high enough, low and very low visits. Data processing was performed using the K-Means clustering method and the Principle Component Analysis (PCA) dimension reduction method. From the data processing, K-Means modeling results combined with the PCA method resulted in a smaller or better Davies Bouldin Index (DBI) evaluation value of 0.310 compared to K-Means modeling alone which obtained a DBI value of 0.382. The tools used in data processing are RapidMiner. The results of clustering are expected to be a reference for related parties to maximize the promotion of overseas tourism.

Make It Memorable: Tourism Experience, Fun, Recommendation and Revisit Intentions of Chinese Outbound Tourists

Due to the fact that Chinese tourists are becoming the main players in the international tourism market, with large growth potential, this research empirically identifies the psychological factors that affect Chinese outbound tourists’ memorable tourism experiences (MTEs), and investigates the relationships among MTEs, the “fun” emotion, and their recommendation and revisit intentions based on the stimulus–organism–response (S-O-R) model. In addition, the moderating role of perceived risk between the causal relationships among the “fun” emotion and recommendation and revisit intentions is identified. A total of 560 survey participants who had experienced overseas tourism in the last two years were selected as the target population, and the data from 413 valid surveys were empirically analyzed via structural equation modeling (SEM). Chinese outbound tourists’ MTEs, such as hedonism, novelty, meaningfulness, and social interaction, are found to positively influence their experience of the “fun” emotion, such as emotional spark and flow. Additionally, it is found that when Chinese outbound tourists have achieved a high level of the “fun” emotion, their intentions to recommend and revisit their destination will be stronger. In addition, perceived risk is found to have a negative moderating role in the causal relationships among emotional spark and recommendation and revisit intentions, and also has negative moderating effects on the causal relationship between flow and recommendation intentions. This study provides important practical insights for how international tourist destination marketers and managers provide Chinese tourists with MTEs, and how to elicit the “fun” emotion and loyalty behaviors from Chinese tourists via the investigation of the mechanism of MTEs, fun, and recommendation and revisit intentions. It is also found that it is beneficial for international tourist destination managers to lower the level of tourists’ perceived risk to improve tourists’ recommendation and revisit intentions. These findings can aid in the development of more effective strategies to increase the market share and the international competitiveness of destinations.

New Media in Public Relations: A Study of New Media in Ragunan Zoo as a Tourism Destination

Globalization has made the inhabitants of the world interconnected more closely in almost every aspect of life because of the speed of information obtained. One of the important things that need to be considered in realizing the process of globalization is the development of information technology.

Abortion Need among U.S. Servicewomen: Evidence from an Internet Service.

U.S. servicewomen have high rates of unintended pregnancy, but federal policy prohibits abortion provision at military treatment facilities and military insurance coverage of abortion, except in cases of rape, incest, or a life-endangering pregnancy. Such restrictions pose challenges to abortion access for servicemembers, particularly during deployment. We aimed to explore the experiences of U.S. servicewomen when accessing abortion during overseas tours and deployment. We reviewed de-identified data from email inquiries and online consultation forms from U.S. servicewomen or military spouses seeking medication abortion from the telemedicine service Women on Web between January 2010 and December 2017. We used descriptive statistics and inductively coded textual responses to describe client characteristics, circumstances of pregnancy, reasons for abortion, and barriers to abortion care. Our sample included data for 323 individuals. Reasons for abortion related to military service included disruption of deployment, fear of military reprimand, and potential career impacts. Additionally, servicemembers faced barriers to abortion access related to overseas military deployment or tour, including a lack of legal abortion in-country, limited financial resources, language barriers, travel restrictions, and a lack of confidentiality. U.S. military servicewomen stationed in countries where safe, legal abortion is restricted or unavailable face deployment-related barriers to abortion care, which compound those barriers they may face regardless of deployment status. Removal of federal bans on the provision and coverage of abortion care and improved education about existing regulations could improve access to timely abortion care and in some cases allow servicewomen who wish to obtain abortion care to remain deployed.

THE ROLE OF INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION IN THE PROMOTION OF TRADITIONAL WEAVING OF KANEKES VILLAGE, BADUY, BANTEN

One form of strategy to convey the beauty of Indonesian products is through promotion. Promotion is an effort of the marketer in informing and encouraging other people or parties who are interested in making transactions products or services that they market. Interpersonal communication is a form of communication that is often used in promotions through word of mouth marketing activities. The interpersonal relationship that starts from the beginning, continues with the stage of involvement, then the stage of intimacy. The next two stages constitute relationship decline, namely destruction and severance. The socialization of the role of interpersonal communication in enhancing the promotion of traditional weaving in the representatives of the people of the weavers of Kanekes Village, Baduy is expected to provide increased understanding and knowledge about interpersonal communication, in an effort to carry out promotions and provide plenary services for both Overseas and Nusantara tourists visited.

‘We’re the lassies from Lancashire’: Manchester Corinthians Ladies FC and the use of overseas tours to defy the FA ban on women’s football

ABSTRACTThe FA banned women’s football from the grounds of Association-affiliated clubs in 1921, on the grounds that the organisation perceived that football was ‘unsuitable’ for women and too much money raised for charity had been absorbed in player expenses. But women continued to play. This article analyses how Manchester Corinthians Ladies Football Club, which had been formed in 1949, was able to sustain a varied range of overseas tours and domestic matches in spite of the ban. Using a range of methods, including oral history, family history interviews, a reunion of the surviving players and player memorabilia, firstly, the article provides a history of Corinthians and Nomads from 1949 onwards. Secondly, the article uses oral history to reflect what the players felt about playing for the club and particularly its overseas tours, and charity work. Not all of the players are represented due to constraints of space, but this is an introduction to a larger ongoing project to reclaim the teams’ history. Finally, the article argues that it is important to examine the 1950s and 1960s, decades when women’s football was an unregulated activity, in order to understand that which followed once the FA ban was lifted in 1969.

From Butlins to Europe: Fodens Ladies in the 1960s and 1970s

ABSTRACTEmerging out of the shadows cast over women’s football following its marginalisation by the Football Association in the inter-war years, Fodens Ladies, formed at a lorry manufacturing plant in Sandbach, Cheshire, contributed to a new vibrancy in the game between 1960 and 1980. Emulating many similar works-based predecessors, the team established itself as one of the pioneers of a female football revival and provided a public arena for several prominent international players of the period. From its early days playing charity matches the company team became a regular participant in the Butlin’s Cup, winning it in 1969 and 1970, before beating Southampton in the 1974 Mitre Cup final. The team also undertook overseas tours with team members receiving only minimal support from the company. This paper draws on private personal archives, company records, holdings at the National Football Museum, national and local newspapers, and an in-house magazine, The Foden News, to situate the team within the context of Fodens Ltd and the wider context of women’s football in the 1960s and 1970s. The paper concludes by signposting the next phase of research, which will explore in detail the biographies of key individuals involved in the Fodens team during this period.

An Analysis of Differences between English and Chinese Tourism Texts

In the context of globalization, tourism serves as an increasingly important bridge in the mutual understanding among different countries. Tourism literatures transmit adequate information about tourist destinations with an aim to evoke readers’ interests to have a visit. Well-translated tourism texts help a lot in attracting overseas tourists. Therefore, it is of great importance to equip translators with the awareness of the major differences between Chinese and English tourism texts in order to make the targeted texts informative, acceptable and attractive to the targeted readers. The two chief differences, discourse structures and persuading approaches in particular, are explored in this essay. In terms of discourse structures, English tourism texts stress hypotaxis and develop linearly in the way of deduction, while Chinese texts emphasize parataxis and develop spirally in an inductive way. As for persuading approaches, concise and objective descriptions are common in English texts, but Chinese tourism literatures normally turn to flowery expressions and parallel structures, quotations as well as rhetoric devices to realize the vocative function.

Service Encounter Communication, Altruistic Value, and Customer Satisfaction: A Study of Overseas Tourists Buying Transportation Services in Shanghai

ABSTRACTThis study attempts to analyze to what extent the service encounter communication (SEC) influences perceived altruistic value (AV) and customer satisfaction (CS). In addition, it explores the moderating role of gender between SEC, AV, and CS. The empirical setting was transportation services. Data were collected from 165 international tourists visiting Shanghai and analyzed through PLS-SEM. The findings demonstrate a direct and indirect impact of service encounter communication on customer satisfaction and a direct effect on altruistic value. Consequently, gender only moderates the relationship between SEC and CS. Thereby, to enhance customer satisfaction with transportation services, it is necessary to deliver effective communication during a service encounter and promote aspects related to perceived altruistic value.

A Study on the Antecedent and Consequences of Customer Value - Focused on Overseas Tourism

Although customer value is a strategic tool crucial to attracting and retaining customers, the tourism sector does not investigate much of this topic. The objective of this study is to contribute to the tourism literature by identifying the relationship between tourism motive, customer value, customer satisfaction, and customer loyalty. The structural equation of AMOS 18.0 was used for hypothesis testing and the sample was 227 respondents who have traveled in Southeast Asia. The findings of the empirical analysis are as follows. First, the push and pull factors of tourism motive have positive effects on customer value. The pull factor has a little more influence on customer value than the push factor does. Second, the sub-dimension of customer value is composed of economic value, emotional value, and uniqueness value, and economic value is most importantly evaluated. Customer value has a positive effect on customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. Customer value has more influence on customer satisfaction than customer loyalty. Third, customer satisfaction has a positive effect on customer loyalty. Therefore, it is confirmed that customer value is a key variable to improve customer satisfaction and customer loyalty in tourism sector, and that tourist motive is the starting point.
