Sustainable tourism, in the cultural context, is a fundamental element for the economic development of some local communities. There are many factors that can influence the success of this type of tourism, but any action or strategy adopted should be closely related to the satisfaction of the tourist. This research focuses on a heritage destination of an archaeological nature, and is aimed at analyzing the profile of the cultural tourist and his/her level of satisfaction after visiting the site. Information was collected using a closed questionnaire given to tourists. An ANOVA analysis has been used to determine the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics and satisfaction, with significant results found in relation to gender and income level. This study has helped to highlight what underlies the differences in tourists’ post-visit satisfaction. These analyses have provided information that can be used in the planning of future sustainable tourism marketing strategies; thus, this study provides some recommendations on how to improve the provision of services and the management of these types of heritage elements.

Agrotourism is a catalyst for initiation of the sustainable tourism activities and diversifyingrural activities. As agriculture is the fourth contributors to the country’s economic development, this sector has vast areas to offer the tourists to feel the excitement from farm and its resources. Agriculture and tourism have their own ability to develop and grow. The collaboration of both strong industries have strengthened the tourism industry in Malaysia. The objective of this study was to determine the agrotourism preferences among urban dwellers in Klang Valley. The findings revealed that most of the respondents agreed that payments for agrotourism activities should be reasonable and satisfactory as the statement showed the highest mean score (4.41). This means that, the payments charged to the customers must comply with what the agrotourism has been offered to them. Most of the respondents also agreed that finding agritourism locations through modern application like Google Maps and Waze should be easy as it has the highest mean score (4.54) on the statement. This was supported by the current trends of the public who are always connected to these applications to easily find any places at any time. Most of the respondents agreed that agrotourism products and activities should be suitable for all range of ages. This is because, public see tourism andleisure time as a valuable time to spend with family members and friends from all range of ages to tighten the relationship. 345 respondents (89.1%) agreed that the major challenges in agrotourism was the issues of lack of information about agrotourism itself. Information is important in order to create publicity about this industry. Results from this study will serve as a guide for authorities in finding ways about how to promote the agritourism based on the respondents’ preferences towards this industry in Malaysia.

The aim of this conceptual article is to propose a comprehensive model that explains the impact of different relational variables on tourists’ behavioral intention (i.e., revisit intention and recommendation intention) and the relationship between those relational variables. Based on the existing studies and findings, the proposed model is strongly related with destination personality, self-congruity as well as tourists’ emotional experience and behavioral intention. Particularly, self-congruity performed as a potential mediator between destination personality and behavioral intention; meanwhile, the model incorporated tourists’ emotional experience as a potential moderator between self-congruity and behavioral intention. This conceptual article makes significant contributions to tourism literature by proposing an integrated model. It serves as a reference for tourism marketing practitioners who can derive insights into the potential economic advantages such as tourists’ loyalty and tourists’ behavioral benefits in the form of revisit intention and recommendation intention which can result from the effective implementation of marketing strategies.

The achievement of entrepreneurial objectives by tourism entrepreneurs is dependent on the existence of a dynamic, attractive, safe and competitive tourism destination capable of creating and delivering memorable experiential value which enhances tourist satisfaction and subsequent behaviouralintentions. However, the menace occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic has posed a critical challenge and a bitter contradiction with the expectations and plans of tourism entrepreneurs all over the world. This explains why several attraction sites and other tourism and hospitality service organisations are either shut or operating at dismal operational levels with the consequent loss of jobs, leisure time as well as filing for bankruptcy claims, etc. The situation calls for a paradigm shift in destination marketing strategy. This present study seeks to situate the quest to achieve tourism entrepreneurial objectives during this austere and uncertain period (POST COVID-19) on the ability of tourism service providers to craft, implant and implement sustainable tourism marketing strategies. The study proposes academic, stakeholder and marketing implications.

Emojis are prevalent in modern social media advertising. Despite this fact, little research can be found on its effects on consumer purchase intentions. This study seeks to examine purchase intentions in the context of Sponsored Ads on Facebook News Feeds, their perceived intrusiveness, and how the added factor of emoji presence can further affect consumer perception in order to suggest a pathway for establishing sustainable marketing strategies. We investigated the effect of emojis on consumers and then the extent to which ad personalization can attenuate intrusiveness to the point of influencing purchase intentions. In the empirical investigations (an online study) conducted, the study revealed several interesting findings. First, the emoji presence in Sponsored Ads on the News Feed did not prompt the users’ perceived intrusiveness. Second, the emoji use led to decreased purchase intentions. Third, the perceived intrusiveness did not mediate the relationship between emoji presence (vs. absence) and purchase intentions. Lastly, the emoji presence decreased perceived intrusiveness and also increased purchase intentions when consumers perceived ads to be less personalized. The findings of this research provide both theoretical and managerial implications of the effects of emojis, and the reasons as to why their usage affects the desired ad goals when used in Sponsored Ads on Facebook from the perspective of sustainable marketing.

Research on sustainability and sustainable tourism has thus far avoided evaluating how tourists actually understand these terms. Instead, scholars have focused on the supply side, presuming a common and precise understanding of sustainability and sustainable tourism among all tourists and stakeholders. This study shows that most consumers link sustainability only to environmental issues, and understand sustainability differently from sustainable tourism. It finds significant interpersonal and intercultural differences regarding consumers’ conceptualisations of sustainability. The results illustrate that empirical research methodology for conceptualising consumers’ sustainability understanding frequently is doubtful or weak. This research exposes tourists’ limited understanding of sustainability, and helps tackle widespread scepticism about the effectiveness of sustainable tourism, by creating better informed sustainable tourism marketing.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> The influence of marketing on addictive behaviours has been studied among tobacco and alcohol users. Although the fashion industry is highly influenced by marketing, research has poorly studied vulnerability to fashion marketing as a factor related to buying-shopping disorder (BSD) while considering psychological characteristics (buying motives, impulsivity, and self-esteem). <b><i>Objective:</i></b> The objective of the present work is to investigate the relationship between vulnerability to marketing and BSD. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Women (<i>n</i> = 242) were exclusively recruited through social networking. They completed an online survey exploring the severity of BSD using the <i>Compulsive Buying Scale</i> (CBS) and the psychological factors associated with BSD (impulsivity, self-esteem, and buying motives) and an experimental task designed to investigate the intention to purchase in several situations, where marketing modalities such as price, brand, and packaging fluctuate. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Among the 242 participants in the study, 34 were identified as compulsive buyers (14%). Income level was considered, and compulsive buyers displayed a higher level of vulnerability to marketing, except for the packaging modality. High levels of positive urgency, lack of premeditation, and coping motivation were found to be significant predictors of the CBS score, but vulnerability to marketing was not. <b><i>Discussion and Conclusions:</i></b> Compulsive buyers seem to be more sensitive to marketing strategies, although vulnerability to marketing was not identified as a predictor of the severity of BSD. Given the enormous literature on the role of marketing in other addictive behaviours, further studies are needed to better understand the role of marketing in BSD to develop appropriate public health policies.
