Summary: This study argues that the combination of method and theory is essential for generating impactful outcomes. It contributes to the current body of knowledge on tourism development from residents' perspective through three aspects: testing a predictive model of support for tourism development using multiple analytical approaches, providing critical discussions on research methods, presenting a classification of theories on residents' support of tourism. Additionally, it fills the research gap by developing a logical model to illustrate the 'pathway to impact' of residents' support for sustainable tourism development using the theory of change.

Summary: Barcelona has undergone social and economic transformations in the past few decades, with peripheral neighborhoods being converted into tourist attractions to sustain capitalism within the global neoliberal environment. This urban tourism has not only affected central and historical districts, but also peripheral zones outside the tourist bubble. The inclusion of these areas as part of the tourist experience enhances Barcelona's tourist imagery and contributes to its global city branding.

Summary: There is a growing interest in co-production in the sport, exercise, and health sciences, but there is currently a lack of academic resources that comprehensively detail the co-production of research. This paper aims to fill this gap by providing rationales for the need of such resources, defining co-production, and developing a typology to describe different types of co-production. The paper also explores the challenges and motivations for researchers to co-produce research, and presents working principles and criteria for judging the quality of co-produced research. It concludes by discussing future directions in this area.

Summary: This paper critically reflects on the Great Resignation in the hospitality and tourism industry following the COVID-19 pandemic. It reviews the causes and effects of the Great Resignation, addresses the labor shortage issue, and proposes strategies to manage the challenges. The study finds that the pandemic has acted as a catalyst rather than the leading cause of this trend, and workforce issues have become increasingly complex due to various internal and external factors. Practical implications are provided for practitioners in the industry to respond to the changing needs of employees and improve as employers. This study contributes to the understanding of the contemporary issue and offers suggestions for future research directions.

Summary: This study examines tourists' attitudes toward the use of artificially intelligent devices in utilitarian and hedonic tourism services. The findings suggest that tourists' acceptance of AI devices in both service contexts is influenced by social influence, hedonic motivation, anthropomorphism, performance and effort expectancy, and emotions. Furthermore, social influence is a stronger determinant in hospitality services compared to airline services, and tourists have higher performance expectancy from AI devices used in airline services compared to hospitality services. The results suggest that while the use of AI devices for functional services is acceptable, it may backfire in the delivery of hedonic services.

Summary: Training to muscle failure or non-failure does not have a significant impact on muscular strength and hypertrophy, except in studies where training volume is not equated between the groups, favoring non-failure training for strength gains. In resistance-trained individuals, training to failure has a significant effect on muscle hypertrophy.

Summary: This research investigates the role of trade union support in mitigating the impact of perceived health risk of COVID-19 on job insecurity and emotional exhaustion among frontline hotel employees. The study found that trade union support directly reduces perceived job insecurity, but its moderating effect on the impact of health risk and job insecurity is insignificant. Practical implications for reducing job insecurity and emotional exhaustion were also provided.

Summary: This research examines the impact of COVID-19 variables on the changing distributions of returns in the travel and leisure industry across 65 countries. The findings suggest that the change rate in COVID-19 deaths has a more significant negative effect on industry returns compared to the number of confirmed cases. The study also identifies a V-shape correlation between the number of cases recovered and industry returns, with a negative impact at lower quantiles and a positive impact at higher quantiles. Additionally, the study reveals a positive correlation between government response stringency index and returns.
