Article The 'Original Face': Visitors Experience in Buddhist Pilgrimage Tourism through the Lens of Zen Thought(Elsevier, 2026) Zhang, Hui; Wen, Jun; Huang, Keji; Kozak, Metin; Fan, YunyunThis study examines the visitors' experience while participating in the Dachaotai in Mount Wutai through the prism of Chinese Zen philosophy. Data was collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and online texts. This study subsequently analyzed the data within the framework of the means-end chain model through which four attributes, six consequences, and three values were identified. The results showed that an attribute-consequence-value hierarchical value map of the original face could be constructed, and the formation process of visitors' original face was deduced. The value stratum of the experience regarding visitors' original face primarily encompassed "Free flow of thoughts", "Being in one's own mind", and "Epiphany",which could be interpreted within the principal tenets of Zen Buddhism. The research findings contribute to the existing body of knowledge about Buddhist pilgrimage tourism and bridge the gap that exists between Chinese Zen philosophy and tourist experience.Article Citation - Scopus: 6Managing Crisis in the Tourism Industry: How Pessimism Has Changed To Optimism?(Institute for Tourism, 2022) Günaydın,Y.; Kozak,M.This study aims to investigate how the coronavirus has resulted in harmful effects on the tourism industry and how it has most likely shaken the common traditional practices that the industry had followed for years. With a chronological order, this is a case study focusing on personal observations and also personal communication with hoteliers and retailers commencing from the early weeks to the end of 2020 in Turkey. The study has resulted in the categorization of risks, challenges and responses under 10 parts. The study also provides implications for the literature and the industry at the business and destination level altogether. © 2022 The Author(s)Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Challenges of Teaching in a Different Culture: An Auto-Ethnographic Study(Cognizant Communication Corp, 2021) Kozak, MetinTeaching in a different culture and environment is always a challenging issue. This may last from a few months to a few years, depending on the consequences of personal characteristics and environmental situations. Based on a personal experience, this article investigates the possible cultural differences between the lecturer and students in a teaching environment and understanding how the student perceptions may gradually change and the student -lecturer interaction may evolve until the semester ends. In a methodological way, the conclusions were drawn out of a mixed-method approach that is composed of a personal observation of the lecturer (etic), and expressions, both verbal and written, and memories of other persons (students) within the same class (emit). In lights of Hofstede's cultural dimensions, the study addresses a list of practical implications as the lessons learned-presumably the best way to cope with the challenges of teaching in a different culture.Review Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5LANGUAGE DIVERSITY AND LITERATURE REVIEWS IN TOURISM RESEARCH(Cognizant Communication Corp, 2023) Seraphin, Hugues; Kennell, James; Mandic, Ante; Smith, Simon; Kozak, MetinLanguage bias is a common yet undiscussed practice that can significantly constrain the rigor and generalization of place-based studies and literature reviews. This article discusses how research published in English compared with other languages is considered or not when conducting literature reviews. This research focuses specifically on tourism research and explores specific journal article examples in the contemporary subject area of overtourism within destination-based studies. To do this, we take a critical linguistic, postpositivist approach to three case studies drawn from the literature on the phenomenon of overtourism. The study highlights how research in languages other than English is often discounted or omitted in academic fields that are dominated by English language publications. Nevertheless, our findings strongly support the proposition that place-specific research, to be rigorous and generalizable, should be supported by research carried out in relevant languages for its location. This research provides evidence that place-based research, based on literature from multiple languages and interdisciplinarity, can be reliable, valid, and trustworthy. The study also notes the recommendations for conducting literature reviews within place-specific research and avenues for future research.Book Interdisciplinary Research and Tourism(Taylor and Francis, 2026) Wen, J.; Kozak, M.; Aston, J.; Wang, W.This significant book sheds light on the possibilities and importance of undertaking interdisciplinary research between tourism and adjacent disciplines in order to further promote the values and contributions of tourism research in both academia and society. The book critically explores the nexus between interdisciplinary research and tourism while also unpacking methods of tourism education through the lens of interdisciplinary research. Drawing on cutting-edge interdisciplinary tourism research, this volume ranges across various geographical regions and covers important contemporary themes such as gender tourism, senior leisure tourism, and the impacts of health and wellbeing on tourism experience. Written by leading academics, this insightful volume will be of interest to students and researchers working in tourism, sociology, anthropology, geography, and related disciplines. © 2026 selection and editorial matter, Jun Wen, Metin Kozak, Joshua Aston and Wei Wang; individual chapters, the contributors.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 13Cannabis Tourists' Perceived Constraints To Engaging in Commercial Cannabis Tourism Overseas: a Comparison of First-Time and Repeat Tourists(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2023) Wen, Jun; Kozak, Metin; Ying, TianyuPurpose Given the increasing number of tourists exposed to commercially available cannabis, it is important to understand visitors' perceived constraints to cannabis consumption while travelling. This study aims to compare cannabis tourists' perceived constraints between first-time and repeat tourists to gain comprehensive understanding. Design/methodology/approach This study involved 32 conversational field interviews (5-10 min) with Chinese tourists who had smoked cannabis in coffee shops in Amsterdam to identify perceived constraints to engaging in cannabis tourism. The hierarchical constraint model (HCM) informed qualitative data coding using a deductive approach to compare first-time and repeat tourists. Content analysis was conducted manually. Findings Results showed that both tourist groups faced intrapersonal, interpersonal and structural perceived constraints to cannabis consumption. Differences in first-time and repeat cannabis tourists' perceived constraints were explained using the neutralization technique framework and psychological tactics, such as the defence of necessity, claims of entitlement, normal practice and claims of relative acceptability. In addition, social exchange theory was employed to explain why repeat cannabis tourists perceived fewer constraints than first-time tourists. Practical implications Although the current study did not intend to address the importance of cannabis tourism in places where cannabis is commercially available, findings offer empirical guidance for industry practitioners and policymakers regarding cannabis use education, prevention and policy in tourism contexts; related efforts can promote the sustainable development of this tourism market while protecting cannabis tourists' physical and psychological well-being. Originality/value This study makes important theoretical contributions regarding travel constraints in the unique context of cannabis tourism between first-time and repeat tourists. Findings will also enable academics, industry operators, policymakers and local residents of cannabis tourism destinations to better understand how these tourists decide whether to consume cannabis overseas. Differences in these perceived constraints between first-time and repeat tourists are discussed to highlight the dynamic nature of travel constraints.Article Citation - WoS: 71Citation - Scopus: 76Does Seeing Deviant Other-Tourist Behavior Matter? the Moderating Role of Travel Companions(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2022) Su, Lujun; Cheng, Jin; Wen, Jun; Kozak, Metin; Teo, StephenDespite the contagion effect of deviant behavior in tourism settings, tourist-to-tourist effects have been largely ignored, including the joint impacts between other tourists and tourists' companions. This study proposes that tourists who see deviant other-tourist behavior have significantly stronger deviant behavioral intentions. A questionnaire survey and four scenario-based experiments were performed to test hypothesized relationships. Findings reveal that the social contagion effect exists when tourists see deviant other-tourist behavior. Larger and more cohesive travel groups attenuate this effect, and moral disengagement mediates the social contagion effect. Theoretical and managerial implications are also discussed.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Anatolia - Unveiling Its Multidisciplinary Landscape and Future Orientations(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Kaurav, Rahul Pratap Singh; Singhania, Shubham; Kozak, MetinUsing methods such as Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and content analysis, this paper does a comprehensive analysis of Anatolia's contributions to tourism and hospitality research over the last 27 years, analyzing publishing trends, regional distribution, and topic evolution. The results show a significant increase in worldwide contributions, covering 92 nations, and an interdisciplinary strategy in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goal (UNSDG) 11. Important subject clusters are identified by the study, underscoring the journal's growing influence and its part in determining the course of future research. Through the identification of emergent topics, the study highlights Anatolia's engagement in varied topics and offers a strategic framework for future research.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Mental Health Research in Tourism and Hospitality: a Horizon 2050 Paper(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2024) Hu, Fangli; Wen, Jun; Kozak, MetinPurpose - This paper aims to cover mental health research related to tourism and hospitality, starting in 1984, and track its development until 2020. Relevant research published between 2020 and 2023 during the COVID-19 pandemic is also reviewed to determine how this research streamis evolving. Design/methodology/approach - A detailed search of Scopus and Google Scholar yielded 4,790 mental health studies in tourism and hospitality; 102 were ultimately retained for systematic review. VOSviewer was used to visualize cluster analysis results. Findings - Research onmental health in the context of tourismand hospitality is limited and can be classified into four themes. The most prominent involves mental health in relation to COVID-19. Thematic differences between studies published before and after the onset of the pandemic are also specified. The findings inform a critical reflection on the conceptual framework linking tourism and mental health, as well as potential research avenues, covering research populations, topics, methods, data sources and outcome-measures. Practical implications - This in-depth analysis of the extant literature provides a foundation for stakeholders to better understand, address and promote mental health in tourism and hospitality. Such insights can steer future research and enlighten industry practitioners, thus contributing to sustainable industry development. Originality/value - This paper represents a pioneering effort to systematically review mental health studies in tourism and hospitality. It offers a holistic perspective and unique insights, bridging substantial knowledge gaps. This paper is also meant to prompt academics and practitioners to contemplate mental health-related research and practice.Article Citation - WoS: 5Comparing Efficiency in All-Inclusive and Bed and Breakfast Hotel Businesses: a Multi-Period Data Envelopment Analysis in Turkey(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2022) Gunaydin, Yusuf; Correia, Antonia; Kozak, MetinPurposeThis paper aims to understand the most efficient hotel system and why efficiency varies across years and between the two differing types of hotel businesses in Turkey.Design/methodology/approachA data envelopment analysis (DEA) analysis was used to characterise the efficiency of all-inclusive (AI) and bed and breakfast (B & B) hotel businesses with one output (total revenue) and three inputs (labour, food and capital costs). The Malmquist approach is then used to discern changes in total efficiency (TTE) and intertemporal shifts in the efficiency frontier (technological change (Tch)).FindingsThe results reveal that the AI hotel operates at 100% efficiency in the summer and year-round. The B & B hotel business operates at 89.6% with variable constant returns to scale during the summer and with 100% efficiency. The results of the Malmquist approach indicate that the total factor productivity grew in the years 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2019, while the other years were marked by inefficiency. Such increases were due to technical efficiency change (TEch) and Tch, which means that managerial and allocative efficiency (AE) were barely achieved. Slight differences were noted in the two time periods (all year and summer), suggesting that the scale of hotel businesses is prepared to operate all year round, and this calls for strategies to mitigate seasonality.Research limitations/implicationsAs to avenues for future research, the limitations of this study are threefold. First, the hotel businesses are not parallel in terms of the duration of their service offerings. Future research may consider including an AI hotel business that is in operation for the whole year. Second, businesses in Turkey are sceptical about sharing their data as it is considered confidential. However, to better generalise the results and encourage hoteliers to consider the positive outcomes of such analysis, the number of observations could be increased by considering more hotel businesses in both categories. Third, a mixture of data representing businesses operating in various countries may reflect if the efficiency scores vary internationally.Practical implicationsOverall, AI hotel businesses are more attractive but less efficient than B & B. Furthermore, the external crisis impacts the efficiency of hotel businesses meaning that hotel managers could keep on exploring AI, perhaps educating their hosts not to waste or not offer huge quantities. Hotel managers may also need to enlarge their seasonal activities to ensure more efficiency.Social implicationsDespite the intentions of AI hotel businesses to increase their profitability with a lower level of service quality, this study shows that the AI hotel business is very attractive but not so efficient due to the higher propensity of guests to consume food and beverages in excess that compromises the definition of efficiency as zero waste. AI is very attractive for family groups or those seeking the pleasure of relaxation at seaside resorts and is also very popular in Turkey. On the other hand, the B & B hotel business is more efficient but less attractive.Originality/valueThe contributions of this paper are threefold. First, the authors analysed the efficiency and inefficiency of hotel businesses within nine years of operations. During this period, Turkey experienced first a tourism boom (2011-2014) followed by stagnation and subsequently a sharp decline due to political instability resulting in an (in)direct impact on tourism (2015-2019). Second, the authors compared the efficiency and inefficiency of AI and B & B hotel businesses. Third, the authors examined the effects of hotel management factors to ensure efficiency.
