Despite tourism scholars' growing interest in shopping tourism, little is known about whether a continuous improvement in shopping environments symmetrically improves shopping tourists' post-visit behaviors. Based on the cognition – affect – behavior model and loss aversion perspective, this study proposed a theoretical framework examining the relationships between shopping destination trust (SDT), destination emotion (DE), place attachment (PA), risk perception (RP), tourist satisfaction (TS), and revisit intention (RI). A total of 786 valid questionnaires were collected from inbound foreign tourists in Taiwan. The structural equation modeling results suggest significant asymmetric positive effects of SDT on DE and PA. Furthermore, the results show that DE and PA mediate the relationship between SDT and RI. Moreover, RP moderates the relationship between SDT and PA, as well as PA and TS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As an important part of tourist shopping, the study of duty-free shopping experiences is of great value for enhancing economic growth in the travel retail market and improving the image of tourist destinations. However, current research on duty-free shopping has failed to meet these practical requirements. To effectively identify tourists' shopping needs and develop effective shopping strategies, we conducted a study from the perspective of destination marketing organizations. For comments on duty-free shopping, we used thematic modeling and sentiment analysis. The thematic analysis showed five themes based on the duty-free shopping experience: perceived variety and function, perceived online process, perceived service, perceived environment, and perceived cost. Our study begins with a duty-free shopping tourism experience and expands on relevant research findings to enrich the tourist shopping knowledge system. Through this study, we hope to provide appropriate and targeted recommendations for marketing shopping tourist destinations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article "Tourism and Partnership Fields: A Summary" explores the intersection of tourism research with other disciplines to enhance theoretical and conceptual exploration. It delves into the dialogue between Mr. Okamoto and Pi Patel in Martel's "The Life of Pi," highlighting questions about language, truth, and knowledge. The text emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in tourism studies, focusing on partnerships with fields like urban studies to address issues of exclusion, displacement, and sustainability in the tourism industry. The article advocates for a critical understanding of tourism education, labor market challenges, and the need for collaborative knowledge production to navigate complex global crises like the COVID-19 pandemic.

The shopping experience may impact tourists' overall dis/satisfaction and, subsequently, the destination's local economy. To address this importance, the current study focused on six important criteria – environmental performance, geographical location, human resources, marketing, services and welfare recreational facilities – that also include twenty-four sub-criteria that had been identified and proposed after a comprehensive review of relevant literature. Combining fuzzy set theory and Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method, the causal relationship of each criterion and its sub-criteria and the key influencing factors for the quality of tourists' shopping mall satisfaction were identified. Also, the links between the main criteria and sub-criteria were uncovered, and their weights were determined. The results indicate that the 'marketing' criterion has had the most substantial influence on the quality of shopping mall satisfaction, while the additional variables include 'services', 'human resources', 'welfare recreational facilities', 'environmental performance' and 'geographical location'. The study provides a list of implications for both the literature and practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study conducts an empirical analysis to examine the impact of payment methods on spending patterns and product preferences using micro-survey data on Chinese citizens' overseas tourism expenditures. A sample selection model was constructed to address the potential bias arising from the non-randomly selected samples used for estimation. Our findings suggest that payment methods significantly affect the amount on Chinese citizens on overseas tourism. And these impacts vary across different age and gender groups. Payment methods also significantly influence the product preferences of Chinese citizens' overseas tourism consumption. Moreover, it is also found that shopping venues significantly affect Chinese citizens' spending on overseas tourism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aimed to examine the factors influencing Chinese tourists' shopping behavior during shopping tourism in Korea using a theoretical framework based on the modified theory of planned behavior (TPB). A quantitative research method was used; the questionnaire for this study was posted on Wenjuanxing for data collection and 269 valid questionnaires were analyzed in September 2024 using partial least-squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results of analyzing the 269 questionnaires showed that attitude, conformity, perceived behavioral control, and perceived quality of goods influenced shopping intention. However, face consciousness did not affect shopping intentions. Additionally, Chinese tourists' shopping intentions influenced their shopping behavior during shopping tourism in Korea. The results of this study reveal the potential mechanisms of the influence of shopping intentions with conformity (a factor of Chinese-subjective norms) and the perceived quality of goods (a new factor) in shopping behavior, and they provide theoretical guidance and appropriate marketing strategies for companies in the Korean tourism field.

Dark tourism shops have faced considerable moral criticism. This study draws on site observation and worksheets associated with a field trip to the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, to examine children's souvenir purchasing experiences. Employing thematic analysis of children's narratives, the findings reveal that dark souvenirs can facilitate contextualisation of the site, emotional engagement, and symbolic meanings for the purchase of such souvenirs. Souvenirs and souveniring are discussed in reference to cause-related marketing strategies to balance the commemorative, educational, and economic objectives. The cause-related marketing partnership between the museum and charitable organisation enhances the acceptance of the souvenir shop and its products. The concept of cause-related marketing is valuable for explaining museum and charity shop dynamics, to inform effective management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The influx of tourists alters language culture, particularly in public signage, reflecting linguistic shifts, especially in Peunayong, a tourist hub in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. This study examines language use and its correlation with shop names and tourism in this area. Data from 81 shop names and 10 shop owners were collected through photographic documentation and a questionnaire. The results on the monolingual shop names reveal that English dominates at 32% of shop names, followed by Indonesian at 21%, and Acehnese at 4%, showing an evolving linguistic landscape amidst globalization. Bilingual (43%) and multilingual (1%) shop names embrace diversity and cultural heritage. Factors shaping these names include linguistic, commercial, and cultural aspects, with foreign influences recognized for their appeal. However, opinions on their prestige vary. Owners strategically choose names to attract customers, match their products, convey luxury, and display the local culture. Therefore, it is necessary to balance English dominance to preserve local identity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to determine whether five tourism activities have an impact on menopausal symptom relief and life satisfaction. This study surveyed 278 menopausal women experiencing menopausal symptoms, and after excluding two nonresponses, 276 responses were used in the final analysis. This study used confirmatory factor analysis to verify the validity of the measurement instruments and the fit of the research model. The results provided empirical evidence that cultural tourism, wellness tourism, sports tourism, and shopping tourism, except food tourism, have a positive impact on menopausal symptom relief and life satisfaction. This study successfully established a meaningful conceptual framework to understand the tourism activities that can lead to menopausal symptom relief and life satisfaction among menopausal women, beyond the existing literature that has only been studied in the field of leisure studies for middle‐aged and older adults.

As borders reopen after years of lockdown due to the pandemic, the tourism economy is recovering and creating a wave of consumer demand. Travelers are expected to be more conscious of planning a trip and embarking to a destination. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively understand tourist behaviors. This study proposes the concept of planned and unplanned tourist shoppers, based on whether shopping is a primary trip goal for travelers. The findings reveal that shopping and experiences vary by tourist shopper types. This study provides a novel insight into destination marketing for tourist shoppers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

While previous tourism studies have examined mental health, additional research is necessary. Drawing on Rogers' theory of person‐centered therapy and self‐determination theory, this study explores shopping tourism as an adjunct therapy to improve mental health. 309 residents from Hong Kong who had shopping tourism experiences were surveyed. Partial Least Squares‐Structural Equation Modeling (PLS‐SEM) and Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA) were adopted. The results showed that shopping hedonism, consisting of memorable and fashion shopping, and tourism escapism had specific effects on tourists' self‐congruence and eventually enhanced mental health. While tourism escapism was shown through PLS‐SEM to be non‐significant in driving shopping tourists' self‐congruence, it proved to be a necessary condition of such self‐congruence in NCA. This study recommends that government agencies promote shopping tourism as a non‐conventional way of enhancing people's mental health. Destinations can also attract shopping tourists from the perspective of promoting their mental health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study draws on the premise of value-in-the-experience (VALEX), axiology, and situated cognition to investigate how value is contextualized within a broader social system that is manifested through the service environment where the shopping experience occurs. A cross-level framework is proposed to examine how shopping value is embedded within the broader setting. Findings reveal that the broader shopping environment is a facilitator of the value–experience process when tourists are seeking hedonic value, while it is a disabler when they are seeking utilitarian value. This inquiry opens a new avenue of research in shopping tourism, with a focus on a more complex dynamic of value-in-context based on situated cognition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to present the issue of border traffic of foreigners and their expenses on the Polish maritime border. The study is based on quantitative data on border traffic and expenses of foreigners in Poland. The time of the study was 2014–2021. Thus, the impact of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic on foreigners’ mobility and spending in Poland was additionally taken into account. For the purpose of this paper, the following study methods were adopted: reference literature analysis, secondary data analysis and comparative analysis. The paper mainly uses data from official statistics and the Border Guard. The study has shown that the Polish maritime border generates the smallest volume of border traffic, however, its share increased during the analysed period from 0.7% in 2014 to 0.8% in 2021. Nevertheless, it is foreigners crossing the maritime border who on average spend in Poland more than twice as much as foreigners crossing the Polish land border. In 2020, they spent the most on non-food goods (40%) and services (34.7%). As the study results reveal, their spending patterns and travel purposes are different from those of foreigners crossing the land border. The potential that foreign visitors bring is significant for the development of border areas in such sectors as tourism, services and trade. The analysis of the motivation of foreigners crossing the sea border makes it possible to shape the regional development policy of this particular area.

The discipline of shopping tourism has seen a surge in published research in recent years, covering a wide range of topics and issues. However, there are surprisingly few reviews and/or bibliometric studies to review and visually map the literature in this field of research. As a result, the present work has employed a comprehensive bibliometric and systematic review concerning shopping tourismrelated articles published in academic journals indexed in Scopus and Web of Science databases between 1979 and 2021. Two methodologies were used in this bibliometric analysis. The first is performance analysis, which analyzes the contributions of the components that comprise research in shopping tourism. The second method is scientific mapping, which outlines the connections (i.e., intellectual, social, and conceptual structure) between facets related to shopping tourism. Using Bradford's and Lotka's laws, the research revealed a remarkable increase in shopping tourism sources, authors, and articles, reflecting a substantial evolutionary curve of this research theme. Various affiliations and countries have contributed considerably to shopping tourism research during the period. The analysis of science mapping produced a substantial understanding of shopping tourism's social, intellectual, and conceptual structure. This review article provides several implications for research via perspicuous overviews and insights into shopping tourism, Big Data, and its knowledge structures. It also holds a variety of practical implications for tourism policymakers, destination management organizations (DMOs), and tourism marketers regarding the key themes, new trends, and main contributors to shopping tourism research over four decades of research.

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to identify and characterize the Dubai Global Village as a shopping tourism attraction. The paper attempts to identify the main determinants affecting the tourist attractiveness of that destination. Design/methodology/approach: The study used quantitative and qualitative research methods such as a literature search, website analysis, including reviews on the TripAdvisor tourism portal. Mixed quantitative (Text Mining, co-occurrence network analysis) and qualitative (narrative research) methods were used. Findings: The majority of tourists' opinions about the Dubai Global Village left on the travel portal are positive. The analysis of tourists' opinions regarding the described place left on the TripAdvisor tourism portal shows that the key determinants of the attractiveness of the Dubai Global Village are the additional attractions, the experience and the cultural diversity that runs through the village's various attractions, not only shopping. Research limitations/implications: Further research in the area of this issue should focus on the use of modern technology in both the demand and supply areas, methods of cooperation with all relevant stakeholders influencing the site's operations and its success or promotional tools. Practical implications: The found determinants can provide guidance both for tourist destinations and for companies that want to create similar tourist attractions. Social implications: One of the most attractive places within shopping tourism is the Dubai Global Village. It not only provides a place dedicated to purchasing but is also an important part of the integration of different cultures. Originality/value: The topic of the Shopping Village has so far been addressed in the foreign literature by Alzoubi et al. (2022) in exploring marketing strategies for the introduction of Beacons (BLE) technology in businesses and how it can generate satisfaction and loyalty in potential customers, or A. Krieger (2023) - pseudo-cosmopolitanism and hyper-reality in the Dubai Global Village. However, the determinants of its attractiveness have not been investigated, which means that the presented research results are a complete novelty in that field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Live-streamed shopping is experiencing explosive growth in the tourism industry, yet few studies have investigated purchase behaviours from a technology-featured authenticity perspective. This study aims to explore what factors may affect viewers' purchase of tourism products from the perspective of authenticity. A sequential mixed-method design was adopted. Data were collected from 403 real-time live streaming events and 15 interviewees. The findings posited that the technology-featured shopping environment in tourism live-streamed shopping (TLSS) contains constructive, postmodern, existential, and objective authenticity attributes, echoing previous theoretical approaches to authenticity. The results also indicate that there is a significant correlation between authentic attributes and sales performance, while the degree of influence varies from dimensions of authenticity. This research extends our knowledge of TLSS by uncovering the role of authenticity dimensions in technology-featured authentic shopping environments. Our results also deliver key insights into the influence of authenticity, providing a deeper understanding for operators and marketers to position live-streamed shopping products in tourism and hospitality strategies.

This study aims to carry out a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to identify, synthesize and incorporate existing studies on the tourism industry, envisioning and directing future studies and trends in luxury tourism. The study analyses 340 Web of Science scientific articles published between 1993–2022. Four clusters were identified: "Contribution of Luxury Tourism to the development"; "Luxury Shopping in Tourism"; "Demand behaviour in luxury tourism," and "Digital Transformation in luxury tourism." Existing publications can be grouped into three phases. In the first phase, luxury tourism was studied from a macro and sectoral perspective; in the second phase, they focused on the behavior of the demand for luxury tourism and in the third phase on the transformation of the luxury tourism industry induced by digital transformation, economic and pandemic crises, demographic changes and guidelines for sustainability. This study resulted in a set of implications for the development of cross-community collaborative luxury tourism, aimed at new target groups of luxury consumers, in harmony with strategies of sustainability, digitalization and well-being of luxury consumers. In addition to being an important tool for policymakers and managers in the luxury tourism industry, it identifies new emerging issues in this sector for academics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

By today the smooth functioning of the global economy has been highly dependent on the uninterrupted flow of factors across borders. The free flow of tourists is also inevitable for the proper functioning of the global tourism industry. However, tourism and various forms of cross-border (tourism) activities were put under unprecedented pressure due to the COVID-19 pandemic, since most countries, including Hungary, introduced serious restrictions on mobility to slow down the spread of the virus. This paper focuses on a relatively under-researched topic, cross-border shopping tourism in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Before the outbreak of the pandemic, shopping tourism was deemed to be an increasingly important component of the tourism value chain. Several studies have demonstrated that shopping has become one of the most favourable activities among tourists and one of the major categories of tourists’ expenditure. Based on the review of the relevant literature, the paper introduces the notion and forms of shopping tourism and discusses the major research topics with special regard to the effects of the pandemic and other types of crisis events. The impact of the pandemic on shopping tourism is observed through the example of Hungary, whereby the effects of restrictions, exchange rate fluctuations, and price-level differences on the number of in- and outbound shopping trips, and the related expenditures, are evaluated. Results show that re-bordering processes due to the pandemic have not only resulted in an unprecedented decline in cross-border shopping tourism, but they also contributed to the spatial restructuring of shopping (tourism) and retailing. The pandemic not only sustained cross-border differentials vital to shopping tourism but sometimes even created new forms of them; these differences, however, could not counter the negative effects of restricted international mobility. The paper aims to contribute to the literature on cross-border tourism by reviewing the effects and consequences of COVID-19 and related restrictions on shopping tourism.

The tourism industry will continue to produce carbon emissions in the process of development, which will ultimately have an impact on the tourism environment. This article aims to study the effect of carbon emission pollution on the urban tourism environment. Taking Hebei Province from 2016 to 2020 as an example, the effect of carbon emission pollution on the local tourism environment was analyzed using the carbon emission model and tourism eco‐efficiency model. The local carbon emission increased in the process of developing the tourism industry; however, carbon emissions per unit in the accommodation, catering and shopping related to the tourism industry generated more tourism economic benefits. The authors suggest to strengthen the development of tourism transportation, increase local tourism promotion, enhance the diversity of tourism specialties, and improve the level of local catering and hotel services.

This research studies the impact of shopping tourism on retail sales and rents, using the COVID-19 pandemic as a quasi-experiment. Shopping tourism refers to individuals who travel primarily for shopping purposes, and their spending patterns can have significant effects on the retail sector. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted global travel and resulted in a decline in shopping tourist arrivals, leading to a downturn in sales for retailers dependent on shopping tourism. Additionally, the decline in shopping tourism affected retail rents, as the reduced demand for retail spaces posed challenges for property owners in attracting tenants. The study focuses on Hong Kong, a prominent shopping destination, which experienced a significant decline in tourist arrivals and retail sales during the pandemic. The research analyses the relationship between tourist arrivals, retail sales, and rents using time series analysis and identifies the impact of shopping tourism on retail rents. The findings suggest a positive association between tourist arrivals and retail sales and rents, particularly during the period of shopping tourism growth. However, the pandemic severely reduced this effect, revealing the impact of shopping tourists on the retail sector. The study concludes by discussing the implications for retail resilience and highlighting the need for further research on the impacts of shopping tourism on retail sales and rents.

A competitive and differentiating element for the development of tourist destinations is the diversification of their tourist offer. Taking into account the behavior and preferences of demand makes it possible to design and manage offers that are more in line with their demands. In this sense, the diversification of the offer, from the introduction of tourist modalities, is of great relevance from a theoretical and practical point of view. Hence, the objective of this research was to propose the bases for the introduction of tourism modalities in order to diversify the supply of destinations. The study was divided into three phases, in which different methods were used, such as historicallogical, comparative and statistical-mathematical methods, theoretical methods such as documentary analysis and empirical methods such as interviews, surveys, observation and tools such as benchmarking. The first phase included the analysis of the theoretical foundations on the existing interrelationships between tourism modalities and tourism destinations. Based on these elements, the bases for the introduction of modalities in tourist destinations were determined, proposing new tools such as the Tourism Attractiveness-Competitiveness-Modalities Matrix. The proposed bases were applied to the shopping tourism modality for the German market in the Havana tourist destination. In this case, the main demand segments were identified, the matrix was applied, strategies were drawn up for the introduction of the modality and tourism products were proposed for its development.

Sustainability is becoming a vital theme in the development of tourism-related industries and have been notably investigated in the aviation and accommodation industries, but, sustainability in the context of the tourism shopping industry, which generates a great proportion of the tourism and travel sectors' contribution to gross domestic product, has been rarely studied. Using discrete choice modelling, this study holistically models the impact of tourist heterogeneity on tourist shoppers' preference towards different sustainability features and estimates their attribute-specific willingness to pay under a three-pillar framework. Tourists' heterogeneity underlying their sustainability-related behavioural tendency and socio-demographic profiles are depicted by market segmentation and its socio-demographic determinants, respectively. Segment-specific behaviour, sustainability willingness to pay and socio-demographic profiles are then presented to provide managerial implications in a more comprehensive manner.

The tourism sector in Indonesia is growing rapidly, so the level of competition is getting higher. Shopping tourism is as one of the industries that is able to attract tourists must innovate considering the products that are sold are the same and the storeping behavior of tourists is different. This study used SEM-PLS analysis and was conducted on 110 respondents who visited Shopping Tourism in Batu city. The results showed that a well-designed store atmosphere can stimulate positive emotions of tourists, provide comfort when shopping so as to create a memorable experience, and make tourists intend to visit again in the future. This study, not only provides recommendations for creating the right store atmosphere for retailers, but also provides information on understanding the storeping behavior of tourists.

Currently, the tourism sector is a central issue in the growth of a country. Researchers have proven the critical role of the tourism sector in increasing state revenues through tourist visits, both domestic and foreign tourists. Several previous studies have shown the part of the destination image in increasing the revisit rates. However, multiple research models have differed variations in explaining the influence of the destination image on the tourists' loyalty to revisit shopping destinations. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of destination image on tourist revisit intention towards shopping tours in Bandung. The survey approach is used to answer the research objectives. The results prove there is an influence of the destination image on the tourists' revisit intention to shopping tours with 179 samples carried out simultaneously on several shopping tourist destinations in Bandung. Thus, the proper advice to improve the revisit intention is providing facilities and infrastructure as well as exciting experiences for the tourists.

New media is a scientific and technological product under the background of the new era, and now new media technology has been widely used in all aspects of social development, and it has spawned the arrival of the new media era. In the new media environment, the survival and development environment faced by enterprises have undergone earth-shaking changes; if you still follow the traditional marketing methods, it will not only reduce the effectiveness of marketing but also because of the deviation from the development requirements of the times be eliminated, bringing threats to the survival and development of enterprises. The development of new media, represented by the Internet and mobile phones, has brought great changes to various industries in the world including tourism. The market size of the travel network is expanding, and online sales are soaring. At the same time, all kinds of tourism organizations often have blind optimism in the construction of tourism networks and lack of reasonable application means, so that tourism network marketing is far from exerting its potential in reality; on the one hand, it cannot provide transaction services that satisfy both supply and demand; on the other hand, it also affects the economic benefits of tourism organizations. Compared with the rapid development of the tourism media industry, the theoretical research related to the actual situation lags significantly. Although the number of related studies at home and abroad is increasing, most of them stay at the level of explanation and introduction, and the analysis of the tourism industry chain is not enough. The breadth and depth of the study are sorely lacking. The future letter needs to summarize the successes and failures of the development of the tourism media industry from a theoretical height and carry out theoretical improvement to guide practice, and it also needs to strengthen forward-looking research, summarize the laws and models, and put forward practical implementation plans to improve the overall development level of the tourism and media industry. Aiming at the problem of new media marketing strategy in shopping tourism scenic spots, this paper applies descriptive research, questionnaire survey, statistical processing, mathematical model, and other research methods to analyze the characteristics of new media such as prominence of personalization, increased audience selectivity, and diversified forms of expression presented by new media compared with traditional media, as well as the differences between the two in terms of communication status, dominant state, and audience state. 4I Marketing theory is applied to new media marketing, the changes in the marketing environment and marketing needs under the background of new media, and the extensive impact of these changes on the marketing mix strategy; the basic strategies and expected effects of new media marketing of tourism enterprises are studied from the aspects of product, price, channel, and promotion; the IPA model is constructed, and the empirical analysis of the shopping tourist attractions of Changshu Garment City in China is carried out. Through the research of this paper, in theory, the understanding of new media marketing is enriched, and in fact, it provides guidance for optimizing the new media marketing strategy of tourist attractions.

This study brings together prior and subsequent unplanned buying behaviors by investigating the large, albeit implicit, effect of the former on the latter in the tourism shopping context. The results of five experiments suggest that prior buying prices form a reference point that stimulates tourists' unplanned buying intentions because of the contrast between prior and additional unplanned buying prices. The bigger (smaller) the former is, the bigger (smaller) the latter will be. However, once the illusion is eliminated, the contrast effect disappears. The study offers several theoretical contributions. It posits that prior buying prices affect the price evaluation of additional unplanned buying behaviors and intentions. The elimination of the illusion removes the effect of the former on the latter. The marketing and managerial implications of persuasive strategies to promote tourism consumption are discussed.

Shopping tourism is a rapidly developing form of tourism. Cross-border shopping tourism has a particular character since it is associated with crossing national borders. The inhabitants living in border regions in particular use this possibility to shop at favourable prices in the nearby foreign country. The aim of this paper is to assess the preferences and shopping behaviour within cross-border shopping tourism in the North-Eastern Slovakia on an example of the comparison of its two regions, more concretely the selected economically under-developed border region of the Prešov Region and the Prešov District that is economically more advanced and is not directly adjacent to the national border. The results contained in the paper are based on an online research (due to the Covid-19 pandemic) in the preferences and perception of the inhabitants of both selected regions. The results highlight cross-border shopping tourism practised mainly in the Polish border regions mostly with family members using a motor vehicle while the increased frequency of shopping is associated with some special calendar events. As for the range of goods, the respondents preferred shopping clothes, food and sweets due to lower prices or their unavailability in their place of residence. It was confirmed as statistically significant that one of the motives for cross-border shopping was a favourable EURO exchange rate. Apart from motivation, we also monitored satisfaction, safety and negative attitudes associated with crossborder shopping tourism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, tourism had permeated all spaces of experience, reaching nearly every country, region, community, and corner of the globe. In recent decades, the meanings, implications, and roles of tourism have also expanded significantly. This article focuses on unconventional tourism mobilities, including same-day visits, which are an important but often neglected part of the tourism system, constantly challenging both scholars and tourism industry stakeholders. Unconventional tourism is an umbrella term that covers most kinds of unregistered or unaccounted tourist mobilities, some of which might not appear to be 'tourism' but should be in certain localities and under certain conditions. Given the growth of unregistered tourist flows and unaccounted leisure (or utilitarian) mobilities, there is a need in tourism studies to apply innovative research methods and to reconceptualize the meanings of tourism in different geographical and social contexts. It is expected that people's desire to travel in the post-pandemic era will educe new spatial and temporal travel experiences and behaviours in which unconventional tourisms will play an important role. To better understand this phenomenon and to evaluate the development of new approaches to travel and behavioural spatialities, new ways of thinking, new theoretical constructs, and new methodologies are needed. This article seeks to explore certain hidden or invisible tourism mobilities, focusing on the geographical patterns, processes, and hidden aspects of unconventional tourism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The other inner areas are special elements of the Hungarian settlement structure. Other inner area is an inner area not interconnected geographically with the central inner area of the administrative unit. Not all localities include an other inner area, but there are localities with more other inner areas.
