The study investigates the relationship between broad-scope management accounting information usage, market orientation, and the firm performance. This study employs a survey data of 149 top-level and mid-level managers working in Vietnamese tourism enterprises. To analyze research data, we employ SmartPLS 3 software. The analytical process include measurement model evaluation (evaluate the scale's validity and reliability) and structural model evaluation (test research hypotheses). The results reveal that broad-scope management accounting information usage has a positive direct effect on market orientation dimensions (include information generation, information dissemination, and responsiveness). Then, market orientation dimensions also have positive direct effects on the performance of Vietnamese tourism firms, excluding information dissemination. Moreover, this study also reveals that the market orientation dimensions mediate the relationship between broad-scope management accounting information usage and firm performance. The findings of this study suggest that tourism firms should pay more attention to the use of management accounting information in decision-making. With the increasingly fierce competition of the tourism firms today, capturing and meeting the needs of the market is a prerequisite to help firms enhance their competitiveness and improve their performance. To do that, Vietnamese tourism firms need to consider pursuing market orientation and enhancing broad-scope management accounting information usage.

본 논문은 국가와 지방자치단체에서 개발하여 운영하고 있는 관광지관리의 문제점을 극복하고 국가와 지역경제에 기여할 수 있는 지속가능한 관광지 관리모델을 개발하고자 수행되었다. 정보통신서비스기술과 모바일 스마트 디바이스를 기반으로 제공되는 위치정보서비스를 이용하여 개별 관광지내에서의 개인의 특성-여가시간, 혼잡도, 활동성, 지출능력 등-을 기초로 하는 애플리케이션을 관광지에서 제공함으로써 개인여건에 부합하는 관광 프로그램을 제공함으로써 1차적으로 관광객의 만족도를 최적화하며, 관리측면에서 환경적 데미지를 최소화 할 수 있는 수용력수준을 유지함으로써 환경적 지속가능성을 유지할 수 있게 한다. 2차적으로 관광객의 소비활동을 통한 경제적 수익창출을 통하여 관광지의 지속가능성을 배가할 수 있으며, 유사시 발생할 수 있는 위험관리를 실시간으로 수행함으로써 안전사고를 예방할 수 있으며, 유사시 실시간으로 관광객들의 안전을 확보할 수 있다. 위치기반서비스를 이용한 관광지의 환경보존은 관리비용을 최소화 하는데 기여하게 되며, 이용자인 관광객의 만족도는 제고할 수 있다. 이는 관광지 관리비용을 최소화 하며, 지속적인 수익을 창출하여 국가와 지방자치단체의 관광지 수익목표 달성이 가능하게 되어 궁극적으로 지속가능한 관광지 운영모델로 정립될 수 있다.

Meeting, Incentive travel, Convention, Exhibition (MICE) industries recently introduced new information systems, such as the exhibition guide system (EGS), to keep pace with Smart MICE and maximize the effect of exhibition performance. We investigate how persuasive EGS can affect the EGS acceptance of attendees via cognitive and affective response. We analyzed data from 442 EGS users at an exhibition. We found that information accuracy, information relevance, and source credibility were predictors of cognitive response. Source credibility had a significant effect on affective response. Furthermore, cognitive response was found to be a positive predictor of affective response and EGS acceptance. We also found affective response is a predictor of EGS acceptance. The theoretical and practical implications of the study were presented based on the results.

Smart tourism, a promising development trend for destinations, has drawn growing attention from practitioners and academics. Extant research has laid a solid theoretical foundation on the roles of technology and effects of smart tourism on tourists. However, little is known about structured and profound implications for a destination's smart tourism development. Thus, by selecting Hong Kong as a case city, this study proposes a framework of implications for smart tourism development. A qualitative approach was employed to gain insights from smart tourism stakeholders. Results shed light on nine elements that boost the smart tourism development of destinations. These nine elements serve as a significant reference for policy-making. Several theoretical and practical implications are provided for scholars, practitioners, and policy makers.

Commercial space tourism is being developed and this trend is expected to continue and accelerate. Although opportunities and threats of space tourism attracted the interest of academia, literature on potential demand, attitudes and people's motivations for space tourism is scarce. In this context, this paper investigates young generations' interest and motivations towards different forms of space tourism. The cluster analysis on 2,207 respondents highlighted an interest in space tourism although motivated by different reasons, levels of budget and sustainability aspects. Interest in space tourism varies according to how far it is perceived as potential, possible or sustainable, or to people's personal feelings. The paper adds to contributions in the tourism field by investigating the opportunities space can offer this industry.

Almost all Koreans recognize the Dolhareubang as a representative symbol of Jeju. However, as the development of online technology progressed, the image and perception of the Dolhareubang is also expected to change. Thus, this study explored the perceived images of Dolhareubang by focusing on residents in Seoul, Korea using Q methodology. The goal of this research was to evaluate this iconic representation of Jeju as an important component of the island's online tourism destination image. The Q-set was developed from existing literature and defined conceptually in terms of 'value', 'resource', 'story', and 'image'. Thirty five respondents were recruited as P set. Findings indicated four distinctive clusters that perceived the Dolhareubang differently and differences in perceptions were observed in terms of age. The examination of destination image and the exploration of the perceptions of Dolharuebang as a representative of Jeju could contribute to online destination image management or development, which is a crucial component of smart tourism.
