The family experiences in the daily local-guided tours: Evidence from the sharing economy platform (Withlocals)

Despite the increasing popularity of family travels and the importance of the daily local tours in the sharing economy, there is no research combining both and it is still very much lacking. Hence, this paper seeks to explore family experiences of the daily local-guided tours offered on a sharing economy platform, Withlocals, utilizing online narratives. To attain this aim, this study applies netnography approach and involves a total of 867 family experience reviews. As a result of the analysis, eight components revealed: local guides’ attributes, awe, learning, memorable, child-friendly activities, engaging tour members, family-friendly tips, and novelty. The outcomes serve as indicators for local guides in addressing the essentials and expectations in family local-guided experience. As well as having practical implications, the results yield valuable theoretical insights for family tourism literature by opening a new door for future studies.

To Rest in Peace: a Proprietary Analysis of the Treatment of Human Bodies after Death

<p>This paper deals with the issue of recognising a property right in the human body after death. It advocates that such a right is appropriate given the need for family members to have increased control over the treatment of their loved one's remains. Thus a property right over human corpses is proposed, in favour of the next of kin, for the purposes of ensuring proper burial.
