Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is clear that the appearance of COVID-19 has significantly changed the tourism sector, from the demand side, where users are changing, either by their own decision or because health circumstances force them to do so, their preferences in their taste for travel, as well as in the supply side to try to show that, in addition to being attractive and unique, their destinations are safe in terms of health. In this new context that is approaching, cultural and heritage tourism can offer unique and interesting experiences based on the use and application of new information and communication technologies (ICT) for the development of intelligent tourism. The way in which we can interpret and interact with a tourist destination through the use of these new technologies, makes tourism managers modify the way in which they manage the offer, and the model of interrelation with the tourist in the whole process, since the idea arises until the return of the tourist to his home. Therefore, cultural and heritage tourism, which includes art, visits to museums and the management of their contents, themes and collections, can be offered from an innovative perspective that adapts to the tastes of each visitor. Moreover, gastronomy, wine tourism and film tourism have become so in vogue in recent years, as a result of the success of several television series, sports and adventure tourism. These factors can be highly influenced by these new circumstances, where the environments are increasingly smart and hyperconnected.

Therefore, the aim of this Special Issue is to bring light and knowledge to this new global tourism paradigm, but with individual interpretations and experiences, where we can interact through different devices (cell phones, tablets, laptops, and even by phone and in person) through different media and supports, such as social networks, official and sectorial websites, services based on location or geolocation, internet of things, smart cities, adapted mobile services or gamification, among others.

The potential of the different emerging ICT in this context is more than evident, now we just need to have vision and be able to create win to win relationships between all parties involved and get to boost the cultural and heritage tourism sector in a new global economic and health context, where tourism is especially important and sensitive to all these changes that are taking place and those that will come in the near future.

What Influences the Self-Educational Expectations of China’s Migrant Children in the Post-Pandemic Era
by Huangwei Gao, Zhenni Cai and Jian Wu

The coronavirus pandemic is forcing societal changes, even along the trajectories of international tourism, educational development, and training systems. Existing research has demonstrated that scholastic attainment, parental educational expectations, and school type have significant impacts on the self-educational expectations of migrant children. Nevertheless, there is still insufficient research on the differences in subject grades, parental educational expectations when it comes to choices regarding specific learning phases, and the impact of school types on specific learning phases. Taking “self-educational expectations = high school degree and below” as the control group, we selected the data of migrant children in grade nine from the China Education Panel Survey (CEPS) and employed multinomial logistic regression (MLR) to investigate the factors affecting the self-educational expectations of China’s migrant children. The results showed that the standardized scores of Chinese children and the math scores of migrant children only have a significant positive impact on their self-educational expectations for either a doctoral degree or master’s degree and a bachelor’s degree, respectively. Parental educational expectations will greatly facilitate the self-educational expectations of children when these are generally consistent with the type of choice of their children’s self-educational expectations. School type only plays a part when the self-educational expectations of migrant children are to attain a bachelor’s degree. The results can help us understand the differences in the educational expectations of parents and their children; guide parents to positively view their children’s scholastic attainment, emotions, and development goals; and help schools fairly allocate high-quality educational resources in promoting the integration of students from different backgrounds.

The present study about the pilgrimage to Mecca aims to: (i) identify the motivational dimensions of the demand for religious tourism, (ii) determine the segments of the demand for religious tourism, (iii) establish the relationship between the segments and socio-demographic aspects, and (iv) establish the relationship between tourist segments and their satisfaction and loyalty in the religious tourism destination of Mecca. The research was carried out on pilgrims who had visited Mecca who lived in Bahrain, a country located on the Persian Gulf, where most of its population is Muslim. The sample consisted of 350 surveys obtained online. A factor and K-means clusters analysis were used to reduce and group the data. The results show three motivational dimensions: religious, social and cultural, and shopping. Additionally, there were also three segments of demand: the “Multiple motives,” with high scores in all the motivational variables, the “Passive tourists” with low levels of motivation and the “Religious,” with motivations in variables related to religion. The “Multiple motives” and the “Religious” segments had high satisfaction and loyalty levels. The results will serve as guides for the management of religious destinations and contribute to the academic literature on this subject. Full article
