Abstract: This study proposes a novel framework to investigate the interdependence and determinants of tourism participation, expenditure, and duration related to tourism behavior. A discrete–continuous model was constructed to jointly estimate the participation and expenditure decisions. Then, a structural equation model was used to explore the corresponding influential determinants of tourism expenditure and trip duration. An empirical study was conducted using historical travel data collected from Taiwanese citizens traveling abroad. Results revealed a significant relationship between participation and expenditure as well as between expenditure and duration. Furthermore, package and frequent travelers were willing to spend more on trips of shorter duration, but in idual and independent travelers were more cost-conscious and travel for longer periods. Overall, time constraints were found to take priority over personal income when making tourism decisions. These findings help travel agents and policymakers to better understand travelers’ needs and develop tourism policies.

Abstract: The effects of raters’ characteristics, vehicle classes, and highway classifications on panel ratings are described. Development of the present serviceability index (PSI) models as well as determination of the terminal PSI values for different highway classes in Taiwan also are investigated. Freeways and provincial highways as well as city streets were selected for use in evaluating road serviceability. A rating panel of 20 people rated the selected sections while they were in passenger cars and on buses. Pavement roughness also was measured with the Mays ride meter, and a manual distress survey was conducted to collect the pavement distress data. It is found that raters’ ages did not have a significant effect on the ratings, but factors of raters’ seat location on the bus, driving experience, and gender affected the ratings significantly. Another interesting finding is that raters tended to give lower ratings for freeways and provincial highways than for city streets, even if they were equally rough. Therefore, the terminal PSI of the former (2.1) was higher than that of the latter (1.8). Two PSI models that describe the relationship between panel ratings, pavement distresses, and roadway roughness are established and presented. Due to the large percentage of passengers who travel on buses within the city, a PSI model based on the ratings of city streets by a panel of raters on buses is recommended for the city system, and a PSI model developed from data for ratings of freeways and provincial highways by a panel of raters in passenger cars is recommended for highway systems.

Abstract: For reasons of tractability, the airline scheduling problem has traditionally been sequentially decomposed into various stages (e.g., schedule generation, fleet assignment, aircraft routing, and crew pairing), with the decisions from one stage imposed upon the decision making process in subsequent stages. Although this approach greatly simplifies the solution process, it unfortunately fails to capture the many dependencies between the various stages, most notably between those of aircraft routing and crew pairing, and how these dependencies affect the propagation of delays through the flight network. Because delays are commonly transferred between late running aircraft and crew, it is important that aircraft routing and crew pairing decisions are made together. The propagated delay may then be accurately estimated to minimize the overall propagated delay for the network and produce a robust solution for both aircraft and crew. In this paper we introduce a new approach to accurately calculate and minimize the cost of propagated delay in a framework that integrates aircraft routing and crew pairing.

Abstract: This article explores the relationship between low-cost carrier (LCC) service proliferation and regional dispersal of tourists by examining the mode choice decision of leisure tourists. This research applies a stated choice method controlling for travel mode attributes as well as trip context (whether a trip is single- or multidestination). The results suggest that leisure traveler mode choice is influenced by the trip context however, low airfares more than offset this effect on travel mode choice. On the basis of data collected in the Northern New South Wales travel corridor in Australia, this article shows that a study of travel mode choice can reveal potential conflicts and synergies in the marketing and management of destinations. The results have implications for destinations worldwide.

Abstract: Schedule disruptions are commonplace in the airline industry with many flight-delaying events occurring each day. Recently there has been a focus on introducing robustness into airline planning stages to reduce the effect of these disruptions. We propose a recoverable robustness technique as an alternative to robust optimisation to reduce the effect of disruptions and the cost of recovery. We formulate the recoverable robust tail assignment problem (RRTAP) as a stochastic program, solved using column generation in the master and subproblems of the Benders' decomposition. We implement a two-phase algorithm for the Benders' decomposition and identify pareto-optimal cuts. The RRTAP includes costs due to flight delays, cancellation, and passenger rerouting, and the recovery stage includes cancellation, delay, and swapping options. To highlight the benefits of simultaneously solving planning and recovery problems in the RRTAP we compare our tail assignment solution against current approaches from the literature. Using airline data we demonstrate that by developing a better tail assignment plan via the RRTAP framework, one can reduce recovery costs in the event of a disruption.

Abstract: The power law is considered one of the most enduring regularities in human geography. This article aims to develop an understanding of the circumstances that may result in the power law distribution in the geography of tourism activities. The finite Polya urn process is adopted as a device to model the preferential attachment process in the flow of tourists. The model generates a rank-size distribution of tourism regions along with intuitively appealing parameters. Empirically examined using two independent sets of Australian inbound and outbound tourism data, results show that the rank-size distribution emerging from the finite Polya urn process is a superior fit to the conventional power law curve. This rank-size distribution (termed the Polya urn process model of visitor distribution) is compatible with tourist behaviors such as habit persistence and word-of-mouth effects, and can be adopted by tourism modelers to predict and efficiently summarize the spatiality of tourism.

Abstract: There is a growing body of literature concerned with the analysis of multiple destination travel and related visitor dispersal. Important aspects of multiple destination trips include the destinations visited (spatial), length of stay (temporal), and mode of transportation along with supply and demand characteristics. Geographic information systems (GIS) offer one way of visualising the results of multiple destination trip analysis, but past attempts to use GIS applications have not incorporated the temporal element. A case study of international and domestic multiple destination trip patterns in South Australia demonstrates how the temporal element may be incorporated in a GIS application to help identify tourists' travel behavior. The application also helps identify differences between markets and may be particularly useful in monitoring change in dispersal patterns over time.

Abstract: The aviation industry is adopting a promising approach to decarbonize the aviation sector dramatically by incorporating hydrogen fuel cell technology and expects to start some commercial services as early as 2035. The authors estimate the aircraft operating cost to become less expensive eventually with this forthcoming fuel cell technology, and the total maintenance cost of hydrogen-powered aircraft to come down in the long run for all segments of the aviation sector, from short haul to long haul services. With the possible incorporation of a new superconducting electrical system, a pneumatic power system, and a fully integrated electrical drive train system, additional maintenance will be required due to their cryogenic factors and associated safety issues. This chapter focuses on the potential impacts of hydrogen fuel cell technology on aircraft maintenance reliability, cost, and safety across the wide range of commuter, regional, short, medium, and long-haul segments of the aviation industry.

Abstract: This article reports the results of a holiday destination choice model of domestic travelers in Australia. Although destination choices have been studied before, travelers’ behavior when choosing an airline ticket is less well investigated, in particular the effect of the choice of airline ticket and tourism features on each other and on the final destination choice. Multinomial logit (MNL) models were estimated using data from a Stated Preference (SP) choice experiment based on a D-Efficient design. Following the leader-driven primacy phenomenon, the article also tests whether destination choices are influenced by sequentially receiving information about airline tickets and tourism features. Results show that when airline ticket information is presented first, the destination choice behavior could be affected. In this context, the information sequencing effect is clear. However, the influence of tourism features is not as clear on the final choice when travelers are first exposed to tourism features and then airline tickets.

Abstract: China is the second largest aviation country in the world. The Chinese aviation industry and economy both developed quickly in the last two decades. However, the interaction mechanisms of aviation and the regional economy were different in each province. Jiangsu was the most important province in the Yangtze River delta region. The GDP of Jiangsu ranked second in China, but air transportation didn’t have the same leading position in the last decade. Taking Jiangsu province as for analysis, this paper provided empirical evidence of the causality between airport development and regional economic growth. The results showed that: (1) From 2008 to 2018, the overall volume of airport passenger throughput and GDP in Jiangsu had a strong upward trend with strong seasonal fluctuations (2) There was a bi-directional Granger causality relationship between the airport passenger throughput and GDP in Jiangsu based on the vector autoregression (VAR) model and the Granger causality test (3) From the impulse response and variance decomposition, the inter-contribution of GDP and airport development was sustainable and increasing over time. However, the impact of economic growth on airports was more significant than the impact of airports on economic growth.
