Declining or Waning
- Traditional Marketing Strategies:
Research focusing solely on conventional marketing strategies in tourism is declining as the field shifts towards digital marketing, social media influence, and experiential marketing. - Generalized Economic Impact Studies:
Broad studies on the economic impact of tourism without specific contextual analysis are becoming less prevalent, with a growing preference for nuanced, localized studies. - Passive Tourism Experiences:
There is a noticeable reduction in research centered around passive tourism experiences, as the focus shifts towards active engagement, co-creation, and immersive experiences. - Homogeneous Consumer Segmentation:
The previous approach of categorizing tourists into broad demographic segments is waning in favor of more complex, behaviorally driven segmentation that considers psychological and experiential factors. - Static Models of Tourism Demand:
Static models that do not account for dynamic changes in consumer behavior or external factors (like crises) are being replaced by more adaptive and predictive modeling approaches.
