This study examines autorickshaws (ARs), a traditional mode of transportation in a popular heritage tourism city from a sustainability standpoint. The overarching purpose is to suggest a modified ASI (Avoid-Shift-Improve) model that lends credibility to the auto rickshaw as a cultural and social/economically and environmentally viable form of personalized transport. This study argues that by meaningfully integrating the AR rides into a heritage travel package and as a cultural transport to heritage attractions, tourists’ local heritage experience can be enriched. The ride can facilitate deeper engaging experiences by offering a slow journey and the ‘last mile’ personalized connectivity to popular heritage sites. This study also offers a discourse on how heritage tourism and traditional transport modes of connectivity to heritage attractions can partner for a win-win solution, that is, to achieve mutually beneficial goals to address the health and economic risks emerging from the current COVID-19 pandemic.

The dialogue on authenticity continues to evolve across different temporalities and disciplines. This editorial for the special issue summarizes contemporary progress made by scholars of heritage tourism and shares innovative corridors for deep deliberations. A broad spectrum of provocative ideas are touched upon, ranging from host–guest authentication and intangible heritage to knowledge transfer processes, authenticating heritage in fairytale settings, authenticity and anxiety in the smell of death and life, understanding the boundaries of authenticity, nostalgia, sustainability, marketing, destination competitiveness, and examining affective connotations of authenticity. Discursive insights are offered on how different authenticities are legitimized and critically deconstructed and re-constructed again in the authentication process, to underline the existence of power and authority interventions. Inspiring/innovative pathways, for future research, are also recommended.

This study examines quest for everydayness, topophilic bonds and economic value of snowbirds in the south-western part of the United States. The data are collected from Wickenburg, a rural town in the State of Arizona. Insights are offered on how Wickenburg, with its cultural and natural attractions, forges strong bonds with the snowbirds in the context of the topophilia domains (ecodiversity, synesthetic tendency, cognitive challenge and familiarity). Furthermore, spending behaviour of this market is examined to determine the economic potential of this market.

This study assesses economic impact of two festivals on a rural town (Wickenburg) in the State of Arizona in the USA. It also examines social and environmental impacts of the two festivals to determine if festivals produce viable economic benefits for the town. Limited studies have, to date, taken into account social and environmental perspectives in economic impact analyses. The results of this study show that heritage festivals bring socio-economic benefits to the host community. However, in terms of environmental impacts, mixed views of local residents and stakeholders are noted. Collaborative efforts among stakeholders to design appropriate ecological measures are needed to make the festivals economically viable in the long run.

Highlights•A dialogical heritage model is used to examine heritage representations.•Suggestions for shared heritage strategies are offered.•Both tangible and psychological aspects of perceived dissonance are identified.•Issues associated with intentional amnesia in broadcast heritage are pointed out. AbstractThis study aims to examine heritage representations of a metropolitan city in the United States, using a dialogical present-centered approach. Heritage themes and icons contextualized by the local agencies are identified. Views of a purposeful stratified sample of local residents are sought. Statistically significant differences in perceptions and level of connectedness to heritage expressions and icons are determined between the Whites (the mainstream population), the Hispanics and the Asians. Information is also elicited on preferred themes and images that hold potential to showcase local heritage in an equitable manner to heritage tourists. Traces of heritage dissonance and societal exclusion are identified and proactive dialogical initiatives are suggested that portray meaningful present-centered public heritage representations to promote sustainable heritage tourism.

A supply chain approach is particularly crucial to the management of the distribution functions in tourism and long-term viability of a destination. In a nutshell, tourism supply chain can be referred to as an array of tactics used to effectively administer its subsidiary functions. An integrated supply chain facilitates coordination across various enterprises in a manner that the host community needs and impacts on the immediate or surrounding environment are taken into consideration (Hoejmose et al. 2012; Zhang et al. 2009). The intent is to “group” rather than “gather” using a systems approach. Chen and Yi (2010) present four models of tourism supply chain: purposes, space, relationship, and the constitution way. The purposes category refers to resources and the tourism market environment. The former aims to link similar or complementary resources to produce an integrated effect, thereby calling for holistic integration of geographic space (such as a neighborhood effect) and themes. ...
