Cape Verde Tourism Online Reviews
Small Island Developing States (SIDS) depend on the tourism industry as an important source for their Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Indeed, tourism is seen as a viable and sometimes the only means of economic growth, job creation, and earnings. Lack of studies was found both in SIDS, including Cape Verde, in regard to analyzing customers perception and satisfaction, and even more so when considering online reviews as a proxy of tourism experience.

Sport for Employability
Most definitions of employability highlight how individual skills, knowledge, or characteristics enable people to find and maintain employment, though some argue that definitions should consider the broader personal and external factors that drive employability. Many current employability recommendations focus on the importance of soft skills and, increasing, sport has been positioned as promising vehicle to develop these skills. This connection between sport and skills has led numerous sport for development (SFD) programmes to explicitly target (youth) employability. In this entry, the background of employability and the general pathways around sport-for-employability programmes are presented.

COVID-19 Crisis and Hiking Intention
People’s lives have drastically changed since the outbreak of COVID-19. One concern during the pandemic has been the level of inactivity among people. Compared to various generations (e.g., baby boomers, generation alpha), Generation Z (Gen Z) traditionally spends much less time in outdoor spaces. Due to the pandemic, their inactiveness is assumed to be even more severe. Hiking, an outdoor activity, has become a possible remedy for young people to exercise in a safer sport environment compared to traditional facility-based activities. Although various studies have supported the link between motivations and hiking intention, the relationship may be altered based on psychological influences unique to the pandemic situations—perceived risk and coping appraisals.

Predicting Online Complaining Behavior in the Hospitality Industry
Sensitivity analysis revealed that Hotel Size is the most important online complaint attribute, while Service Encounter and Room Space emerged as the second and third most important factors in each of the four decision tree models. The CHAID analysis findings also revealed that guests at higher-star-rating hotels are most likely to leave online complaints about (i) Service Encounter, when staying at large hotels; (ii) Value for Money and Service Encounter, when staying at medium-sized hotels; (iii) Room Space and Service Encounter, when staying at small hotels. Additionally, the guests of lower-star-rating hotels are most likely to write online complaints about Cleanliness, but not Value for Money, Room Space, or Service Encounter, and to stay at small hotels.

Neo/Post-Fordist Perspective of European Countries’ Official Tourism Websites
It is generally believed, with ample evidence, that there has been a change in demographics and people’s behaviour. The change of demographics has been described as a shift to a postmodern society with a flexible form of production and consumption, characterised as the neo/post-Fordist era. Neo/post-Fordist calls of destinations’ production are illustrated in the content of the websites and call upon the new practices that destinations use to attract the interest of potential travellers. An activity-based approach is apparent in all websites that is directly related to the retrieval of dynamic experiences. The content is culturally and naturally driven, with products associated with nature, ethnic and heritage characteristics. Online positioning associates with words that give a personal touch, urging the websites’ lookers to visit and explore the destinations. Nature has a prominent stance in the website content with places and activities. Neo/post-Fordist tourists are looking to immerse themselves in the destination and ‘create their stories or tales’.

COVID-19 Pandemic on Tourism in Developing City
Tourism generates huge revenue for destinations and contributes to overall economic development for a plethora of countries, especially tourism-dependent nations. In other words, there is a strong link between tourism development and economic growth, which also stimulates the development of other related businesses in a country (Haryanto 2020). However, tourism is a vulnerable industry which may crash due to potential risks such as global pandemics (Shakya 2009). The COVID-19 pandemic has inflicted serious and widespread impacts on a wide range of economic sectors, particularly the tourism industry. This is likely true for countries where the economy mainly depends on tourism, where businesses face much bigger challenges for economy resilience in both the short and long term. An abundance of consequences, including regional to national lockdowns, as well as the suspension or cancellation of tourism- and hospitality-related services, have increasingly occurred on the global scale.

Clustering Sustainable Destinations
Within the globalized tourism market, tourism destinations have the option to turn to sustainability as a conceptual and management framework for their unique branding and identity proposition. It is well-known that tourism contributes to sustainable development, but in order to render tourism’s contribution clearly, the assessment should be fed with conceptually clear and measurable indicators that effectuate the continuous monitoring of a destination’s sustainability performance.

Environmentally Responsible Behavior in National Forest Trails
Tourism has been developing rapidly and causing various effects on ecological environment around the world. The impact of forest hiking trails is of particular importance, as they pass through natural areas with greater ecosystem diversity, such as mountains and forests. Therefore, enhancing tourists’ environmentally responsible behavior (ERB) on forest trails has become an important issue to be addressed. Scholars have applied different theories to study ERB, including the theory of planned behavior (TPB), attitude behavior context theory, the norm activation model (NAM), and value belief norm theory (VBN). The extant literature on ERB can be categorized into two primary perspectives, namely, rationality- and morality-based approaches.

Destination Responses to COVID-19 Waves
Despite the stagnant status of the tourism industry due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the efforts to reopen the tourism destinations as green zones in Vietnam have paid off with some encouraging achievements. This inspires other green zones to consider a more adaptive approach to the ongoing pandemic crisis.  Tourism is an economic sector that is vulnerable to crises, natural disasters, political instability or global health pandemics. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic was declared in March 2019 and has been spreading around the world, leading to a great shock to the global tourism industry in both the short and long term. Vietnam’s tourism industry is no exception in being affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The outbreak of the disease has been projected to cause considerable damage to Vietnam’s tourism industry, with an especially sharp decline in the number of international tourist arrivals, which accounts for more than 30% of the total number of international tourists to Vietnam. Currently, there are many studies and general reports on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism industry. The World Tourism Organization surveyed 220 countries and territories along with more than 30 international and regional organizations. More specifically, WTO suggested that governments have to respond rapidly and strongly to the magnitude and scope of measures that increase over time.

Digital Productions for Cultural Heritage Tourism
Recent literature on cultural heritage emphasises the necessity to involve local communities in managing, planning, and preserving the local cultural heritage, as only by recognising the cultural heritage values, local communities can express and raise awareness of its meaning and importance to them. Evidently, the feeling of ownership and of proudness that they develop in this way is further reflected in a sense of responsibility for the heritage itself, regardless of its nature as tangible or intangible.

Destination Social Responsibility and Environmentally Responsible Behavior
The critical factor for sustainable destination development is the role of stakeholders as essential players in the process of sustainable destination development. Tourists have been acknowledged as significant stakeholders in destination management, exerting a substantial influence on the sustainability of tourism. It is possible that tourists, as members of society, have the same ethical and value-based perspectives that are advocated for by destination social responsibility (DSR) projects. Understanding the key factors contributing to environmentally responsible behavior (ERB) is imperative.
