Article Abstract
Although cultural tourists increasingly seek to experience cultural events actively and to directly engage in creative activities, empirical knowledge about the creative tourist remains limited. This study aims to characterize the motivations and profile of creative tourists. The data was collected through a survey of participants in creative tourism activities in Portugal developed by 40 pilot institutions of the CREATOUR project during 2017 and 2018, with 814 usable questionnaires collected and validated. The questionnaire had 30 questions and marked the first time this kind of research was conducted in Portugal. The questionnaire included questions on: the composition of their travel companions, their previous participation in a creative tourism experience, reasons for visiting the destination, their characterization of the creative tourism experience, an evaluation of their creative tourism experience, and their socio-demographic profile. Using a cluster analysis to analyse the data, three clusters were found: Novelty-Seekers, Knowledge and Skills Learners, and Leisure Creative-Seekers.

Sowing the seeds of happiness, personal values, and creative behavior: The role of CSR perception in hospitality services.

Employee creative behavior (ECB) is vital for innovation and competitiveness in hospitality firms, yet its antecedents remain underexplored in non-Western contexts. This study investigates work happiness (WH) encompassing engagement, satisfaction, and affective organizational commitment as a predictor of ECB, mediated by personal values (PV) and moderated by corporate social responsibility perception (CSRP). Grounded in Schwartz's Theory of Personal Values, we propose that PV, specifically openness to change and self-transcendence, channel WH into ECB, with CSRP amplifying this pathway by fostering value alignment and psychological safety.

As the tourism sector faces increasing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint, employees are emerging as vital agents of sustainable transformation. Employing the stimuli-organism-response (SOR) framework and data collected from 324 employees, this study investigates the psychological processes underlying green work engagement. Covariance-based structural equation modeling revealed that both green attitudes and resource commitment are significant predictors of individual green values, which, in turn, are positively associated with green creativity and work engagement.

This paper offers a provocation for reframing the spatiality of urban creativity by interrogating the groundswell of contemporary creativity in South African townships. Creativity in marginalised neighbourhoods such as townships does not fit dominant creative city narratives and global city aspirations. The literature is largely silent about creative work and spaces characterised by informality.

As digital technology evolves rapidly, smart tourism has become a significant trend in the modernization of the industry, relying on advanced tools like big data and cloud computing to improve travelers' experiences. Despite the growing use of human-computer interaction in museums, there remains a lack of in-depth academic investigation into its impact on visitors' behavioral intentions regarding museum engagement. This paper employs Cognitive Appraisal Theory, considers human-computer interaction experience as the independent variable, and introduces destination image and satisfaction as mediators to examine their impact on destination loyalty.

Amid the worldwide rise in cultural and creative tourism, art spaces are drawing increasing attention for their engaging and restorative properties. This research integrates both conceptual literature and empirical findings-examining the subject from multiple angles-to illuminate how public art environments affect visitors' emotions and level of involvement. Although extensive work has explored art's effects on emotions and psychology, the specific impact of emotional factors on visitor experiences within these venues remains under-investigated.
