    CAIPS: A Context-Aware Information Push Service in Tourism2007In: Information and Communication Technologies in Tourism 2007Proceedings of the International Conference in Ljubljana, Slovenia, 2007 Sigala, Marianna; Mich, Luisa; Murphy, Jamie (Eds.) / [ed] Sigala, M., Mich, L & Murphy, J., Vienna, New York: Springer, 2007, p. 129-140Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A context-aware information push service provides the user with tailored information regarding her/his actual situation (the actual situation is also referred as context). This paper motivates and discusses the development of a context-aware information push service. A survey is presented motivating the implementation of such a system. Further, key requirements are identified leading to a description of the system architecture, thereby giving insight into how the requirements are tackled. Finally, the rule language which is used to formally declare push processes and the inference engine translating such rules into concrete push messages is explained in detail. The push service presented in this paper is part of the overall etPlanner system, a framework for mobile tourist guides

    Exploiting E-C-A Rules for Defining and Processing Context-Aware Push Messages2007In: Advances in Rule Interchange and ApplicationsInternational Symposium, RuleML 2007, Orlando, Florida, October 25-26, 2007, Proceedings / [ed] Paschke, A., Heidelberg & Berlin: Springer, 2007, p. 199-206Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The focus of this paper is to show that the E-C-A paradigm offers an excellent approach for specifying the behavior of context-aware information push services. Such a service enables its operator to provide the users with tailored messages related to their current situation (context). The paper introduces CAIPS, an implementation of such a service for the tourism domain. The underlying E-C-A rules are presented and the design of the associated rule-engine is described. The engine’s rule-interpreter is based on event-notification services and the object-oriented query-language HQL. The paper further presents a graphical high-level editor which supports business-experts in “writing” the CAIPS E-C-A rules. The presented approach enables the rapid development of new tailored messages (related to the user’s context) without the need to modify the underlying application, i.e. without the trouble of writing new code for new message types.

    Application of QR Codes in Online Travel Distribution2010In: Information and Communication Technologies in Tourism 2010 / [ed] Gretzel, U, Law, R., Fuchs, M., Vienna, New York: Springer, 2010, p. in print-Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Mobile services support various situations in everyday life and with the spread of mobile internet and better equipped mobile devices mobile services are becoming increasingly important, especially in tourism. Mobile tagging, based on QR codes or similar approaches, offers a technique to increase the accessibility of mobile services. In this paper potential applications of QR Codes in tourism, and specifically within a cultural institution (the Mercedes-Benz Museum), are identified and prototypically implemented. In a second step, these application scenarios are evaluated within a test user study. Results show that both, usability and intention to use the services are potentially high and QR codes are able to provide additional comfort in accessing mobile content and services.

    Facilitating smartly packaged nature-based tourism products through mobile CRM applications2021In: Nordic Perspectives on Nature-based Tourism: From Place-based Resources to Value-Added Experiences / [ed] Fredman Peter & Haukeland Jan Vidar, Cheltenham: Edward Elgar Publishing, 2021, p. 222-236Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In the nature-based tourism (NBT) context, mobile applications may contribute to major aspects of the travel process, from anticipation and planning to documentation and sharing of the outdoor experience. For destinations and service providers, mobile technologies serve the purpose of building, maintaining and improving customer relationships between destination suppliers, their customers as well as between customer-peers. Therefore, mobile customer-relationship management (CRM) applications can facilitate and improve the daily operational work in the small-scale NBT domain by optimally combining the key components of the NBT tourism system, i.e. recreation activities, lodging, food, infrastructures, transportation and other services and features of the servicescape, intelligently offered as ‘smart package’. After a brief state of the art review, the chapter presents findings from an explorative assessment of existing mobile apps designed for outdoor experience facilitation. The chapter provides theoretical and applied insights into the capacity of mobile technology for smart packaging of NBT products.

    A Meta Comparison of Emprical Brand Metrics and Models for Tourism Destinations2009In: Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Destination Branding and Marketing / [ed] Leonardo (Don) A.N. Dioko and Xiang (Robert) Li, Macao SAR, China: Institute For Tourism Studies , 2009, p. 130-141Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The concept of customer-based brand equity (CBBE) and related measurement issues have recently attracted significant attention in tourism research (Pike, 2009; Boo et al., 2009). However, the complex and multi-dimensional nature of tourism destinations challenge the traditional approach towards the brand, its constructs (e.g. awareness, image, quality, loyalty, etc.) and measurement scales. Nevertheless, a number of empirically validated destination performance models found in the recent tourism literature share many similarities with the CBBE model in terms of structure and employed survey-based metrics. The aim of this study is to conduct a meta-comparison between a set of destination performance models and the CBBE model proposed and verified in a tourism destination context by Boo et al. (2009). The proposed comparison framework grounded in marketing and tourism literature is utilized in order to deduce a parsimonious and comprehensive set of destination brand metrics, relevant model dimensions, as well as empirically validated causal relationships.

    A value co-creation perspective on customer-based brand equity model for tourism destinations: A Case from Sweden2014In: Finnish Journal of Tourism Research (Matkailututkimus), ISSN 1796-1300, Vol. 10, no 1, p. 8-24Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This study aims at contributing to the development of the customer-based brand equity (CBBE) concept in a tourism destination setting by taking into account the value-co-creation approach. The components of the proposed model consist of the customers’ evaluation of the destination promise in terms of transforming tangible, intangible and social destination resources into tourists’ value-in-use. Moreover, destination brand awareness affects the evaluation of the destination promise, which, in turn, determines tourists’ behavioural intentions towards the destination. By implementing a web survey and using a linear structural equation modelling approach, the proposed model is empirically validated for the Swedish mountain destination of Åre. Results particularly show the significant contribution of customer benefits and value for money to create destination loyalty. The paper demonstrates that by monitoring unique destination and tourist-specific experience dimensions, destination management can control both the value-in-use for a customer and customer loyalty, thereby upgrade and evaluate its marketing strategy, and, finally, discover promising innovation potentials for highly experiential tourism products.

    Customer-based Destination Brand Equity Model2022In: Encyclopedia of Tourism Management and Marketing / [ed] Dimitrios Buhalis, Cheltenham, UK: Edward Elgar Publishing, 2022, p. 742-744Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The customer-based destination brand equity model (CBDBE) captures knowledge about the complex relationships between tourists and tourism destination brands (e.g., Buhalis and Park, 2021; Chekalina, Fuchs and Lexhagen, 2018; Tran, Nguyen and Tran, 2021). Theoretically, the CBDBE model is derived from cognitive psychology and depicts tourists’ complex responses to a tourism destination’s name. The model aims to understand the multi-dimensional brand-related memory structures that tourists hold about a destination. As a managerial tool, the CBDBE model allows us to measure a destination brand’s strength and thus evaluate a destination’s marketing success. Destination managers use the CBDBE model to identify areas that allow them to upgrade destination marketing strategies, promotional campaigns and destination product development (Tran et al., 2019).

    Customer-based destination brand equity modelling: The role of destination resources, value-for money and value-in-use2018In: Journal of Travel Research, ISSN 0047-2875, E-ISSN 1552-6763, Vol. 57, no 1, p. 31-51Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This study contributes to the development of knowledge on transferring the concept of customer-based brand equity to a tourism destination context. Keller’s (2009) brand equity pyramid is utilized as the comparison framework to reveal similarities but also overlaps, differences and gaps on both the conceptual and measurement level of existing brand equity models for destinations. Particularly, the inner core of the model depicts the complex mechanisms of how destination resources transform into benefits for tourists overlooked by prior research. This study proposes a customer-based brand equity model for destinations, which consists of five dependent constructs, including awareness, loyalty, and three destination brand promise constructs constituting the inner core of the model, namely, destination resources, value-in-use and value-for-money. The model was repeatedly tested for the leading Swedish mountain destination Åre, by using a linear structural equation modelling approach. Findings confirm the path structure of the proposed model.

    Destination brand promise: The core of customer-based brand equity modeling2018In: Tourism Analysis, ISSN 1083-5423, E-ISSN 1943-3999, Vol. 23, no 1, p. 93-107Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The present study contributes to the discussion on transferring the concept of customer-based brand equity (CBBE) to a tourism destination context. The core component of the proposed CBBE model for tourism destinations (CBDBE) considers customers’ evaluation of the destination promise in terms of the transformation of destination resources into value-in-use for tourists. The introduced CBDBE model consists of six interdependent constructs, including awareness, tourists’ perception of functional, tangible and social destination resources, value-in-use disclosing the purpose and benefits of consumption, value-for-money, satisfaction and loyalty. The model was tested for the leading Swedish mountain destination Åre for the summer season by using customer-based survey data and a linear structural equation modelling (SEM) approach. Findings confirm the hypothesized relationships and the hierarchical structure of the proposed model. Managerial implications are discussed and the agenda for future CBDBE research is outlined.

    Abstract [en]

    Since tourism destination branding was introduced in the early 2000s, destination brand equity measurement and tracking has become one of the main research streams in the field of destination marketing (Pike, 2009). However, from a theoretical point of view, the concept of brand equity, which is a measure of the power of the brand and the link between marketing efforts and future destination performance, remains insufficiently elaborated, especially for the tourism destination context (Gartner, 2009).More specifically, tourism destination brand equity studies mainly attempt to directly transfer conceptualization and measurement approaches, which have been developed and tested for product brands, especially consumer packaged goods (Christodoulides and de Chernatony, 2010). Particularly, the majority of tourism destination brand equity studies (e.g., Boo et al., 2009; Konecnik and Gartner, 2007; Pike et al., 2010) adopt Aaker’s (1991) and Keller’s (1993) conceptualization of customer-based brand equity (CBBE), which derives from the field of cognitive psychology and focuses on multi-dimensional memory structures, such as awareness, image, quality, value and loyalty (Christodoulides and de Chernatony, 2010).

    Abstract [en]

    The goal of the paper is to optimize the design of Email-Marketing campaigns for hotel companies on the base of a test market approach. For this aim first, a fractional-factorial design is employed to reduce the amount of test variables related to different versions of Email campaigns. Secondly, based on the Email Marketing Response Model proposed by Rettie and Chittenden (2002) a logistic regression is performed to identify the influence of the proposed variables on the click-through rate. Finally, the obtained results and further research questions are discussed.

    Abstract [en]

    Over the past years, attention has been given to the relevance of network studies as an analytical tool to assess essential features of a tourism destination. This work analyzes the network of Halland County, a tourism destination in South Sweden. The study aims at enhancing the body of knowledge and the comprehension of the structural characterization of the tourism network, deriving indications for policy makers and local stakeholders in order to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the regional tourism system. Tourism stakeholders’ websites were explored using hyperlink network analysis (Baggio, 2007; Raisi et al., 2017). Findings highlight the need for strengthened industry ties and contribute to the industry-wide discussion on exploring network topology as a key source of knowledge for destination management and development, respectively.

By borrowing from Buddhist philosophy this essay describes inconsistencies in economic theorizing due to its adoption of the Cartesian ontology implying a mechanistic thinking form. Following philosopher Brodbeck (2014), economic science is neither an empirically exact science nor value-free but represents an implicit ethics. To build on this, the elements of a post-mechanistic economic theory are sketched (Brodbeck, 2001). The applicability of this concept is corroborated by instances of current tourism research. After reinterpreting the homo economicus and the nature of money an agenda for a transformative tourism science building upon post-Cartesian economic thinking and Buddhist philosophy is elaborated.

    A Sustainable World needs Transformative Science: Ontological Reflections on Contemporary Economic Science2021In: Accelerating the progress towards the 2030 SDGs in times of crisis / [ed] Catrin Johansson, Volker Mauerhofer, Östersund: Mittuniversitetet , 2021, p. 4-5Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Modern sciences promise to deliver the means to achieve the medical and technological progress needed to overcome the crisis provoked by COVID-19, thereby resuming previously charted economic growth trajectories. However, especially in times of crises, sciences are showing their paradoxes by pointing to the fact that not only their fundamental notions and theories, but also objectified facts are rooted in the social sphere (Gretzel et al 2020, 191-192). After pointing at ontological inconsistencies of modern sciences, like the Fact-Value Antinomy (Putnam 2004), this presentation recalls that all sign-systems and languages, like mathematics, theories but also empirical facts, are aspects of the same societal world, wherefore they should not be confused as isolated entities of an illusory world of ‘scientific thinking’ (Brodbeck 2019). Following Kuhn (1962) who reminded us that scientific revolutions are driven by the social, psychological and ethical nature of sciences, it is argued that a crisis like COVID-19 shows the potential to challenge current paradigms, especially the way we think about values and facts in relation to the economic foundations of our society. Therefore, major ontological discrepancies of contemporary economic science are critically reflected. Following the science paradigm, economists relate measured and objectivized ‘things’ to the empty abstract measuring-unit money, so as they receive their price. However, this ‘calculative form of thinking’ has led to a new type of pecuniary socialization: Not only production processes, but also social acts of exchange, technological processes, and even skills and the arts, stop being social processes initiated by humans, rather become abstract elements in economic equations (Brodbeck 2019). As a consequence, the uniqueness and diversity of social acts of exchange is transformed into ‘identical’ monetary values, i.e. objectified things of nature become comparable but empty units (Brodbeck 2019, 16). However, the reference to such a misleading ontology led to the paradox that economics cannot be considered an empirically exact science exactly because humans do not behave like mechanical objects of classical physics. The presentation concludes by showing, that contemporary economic science, although represented through a system of factual statements (‘hard facts’) should be uncovered as ‘implicit ethics’ guided by the ontological assumptions of modern sciences (Brodbeck 2019; Gretzel et al 2020). As a precondition to transform economic thinking towards a critical science capable to cope with the needs of a truly sustainable world, a post-mechanist economic theory (Brodbeck 2019) which defines ‘The Economy’ as a socio-communicative network in line with SDGs is deduced in the outlook.

    Exploring Information Services for mobile Tourist Guides: Results from an Expert Survey2007In: Tourism Mobility & Technology, Travel and Tourism Reserch Association (TTRA), Nice, / [ed] Frederic Dimanche & Dominique Jolly, Nice: CERAM Business School , 2007, p. 4-14Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Mobile information services are gradually supplementing or even replacing traditional information sources relevant to tourists during their on-site stay (Anegg et al. 2002; Berger et al. 2003). The scope of the paper is to identify mobile information services which prove to be relevant to tourists during their city destination stay (Page, 1995; Wöber et al. 2003). For this aim, a qualitative approach to deduce potentially accepted mobile information services targeted to the specific destination use is presented (Rasinger et al. 2006). Firstly, based ona record of tourists’ information requirements and focus group interviews a ranked list of 15 mobile information services is deduced. Secondly, results from a web-based expert survey are presented exploring most promising configuration alternatives for mobile information services designed for the urban (i.e. city) destination context.

    From Ontological Inconsistencies towards a Post-Mechanist Economic Science: The Innovative Region shaped by Micro-Entrepreneurs in Nature-based Tourism2021Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A crisis like COVID-19 shows the capacity to challenge the current growth-paradigm. Thus, instead of proposing new tools and methods to resume previously charted economic growth-trajectories, the first part of this presentation reveals ontological discrepancies of contemporary economic science. By following the ontology of modern science rooted in classical physics, mainstream economists presume that ‘objective things’ can be assigned the abstract measuring unit money so as they receive their price. However, through this erroneous (ontological) transformation of (ontic) social acts, not only production processes, but also social acts of exchange, technological processes, and even skills and the arts, stop being social processes, rather become abstract elements in economic equations. Consequently, the uniqueness and diversity of social acts of exchange is transformed into comparable but empty units. By referring to this untenable ontology, one can easily show that economics, despite its ambitious claim, cannot be considered an empirically exact science, exactly because humans do not behave like mechanical objects of classical physics. After finally showing that contemporary economic science is incapable to grasp the nature of creativity, the second part outlines the elements of a post-mechanist economic science which assigns humans’ creativity a central role and defines ‘The Economy’ as a socio-communicative network. Very close to this view comes Feldman’s (2014) Innovative Region understood as inter-connected, open and free territory, which through its unique history and specific beauty fosters place-makers’ creativity and social interactions to transform location factors into assets with high symbolic value and meaning. The correctness and relevancy of this promising concept is confirmed in the third part, showing findings from a large-scale survey (N=580+) with Norwegian micro-entrepreneurs in nature-based tourism. Findings show that entrepreneurs heavily engage in local communities, support volunteer work, create places for creative thinking and contribute to the formation of place identity. By strictly respecting socio-cultural local and regional peculiarities, they add to the creation of public goods, like place brands and ethically grounded social norms. The latter reflect essential values, like fairness seeking and others-regarding with the capacity to crowd-out selfish behavior. From this analysis, propositions for alternative economic spaces to be institutionalized in a post-pandemic era are deduced.
