Common prosperity is an essential requirement of the Chinese path to modernization, and rural areas are key to achieving the goal of common prosperity. In recent years, rural tourism has played an important role in promoting farmers’ income growth and solving the “Three Rural Issues.” This study focuses on the scientific connotation, theoretical logic, impact mechanism, development strategy, and realization path of high-quality development of rural tourism from the perspective of common prosperity. The core points are as follows. (1) The scientific connotation of high-quality development of rural tourism from the perspective of common prosperity should be understood and grasped from the aspects of industrial upgrading and economic development, cultural revitalization and cultural continuity, ecological protection, and the transition to green development. (2) The development of rural tourism should focus on demand and supply, scientific planning of rural tourism, and benefits for more people. (3) Rural tourism micro-enterprises are important in the development of rural tourism. They must stimulate the vitality of common prosperity by activating kinship networks, improving cultivation accuracy, and building industrial clusters. (4) The development of rural tourism needs to focus on cultural connotations, make full use of the excellent traditional Chinese culture represented by intangible cultural heritage, and promote rural tourism to enter a new stage of high-quality supply. (5) Common prosperity and high-quality development of rural tourism are interdependent and mutually supportive. We should further clarify industrial orientation, improve supply levels, make good use of cultural achievements, and explore reform and innovation systems.

Improving the quality of tourism public services is essential not only to accelerate the transformation and upgrading of tourism and improve quality and efficiency but also to enhance tourists’ well-being. This study, from the perspective of tourism experience, constructs a multiple intermediary model of the influence of tourism public service quality on tourists’ well-being. Structural equation and Bootstrap methods are used to test the model. The results reveal that, experience value positively mediates the impact of information communication service quality and administrative supervision service quality on eudaimonia enjoyment and the impact of information communication service quality, security service quality and administrative supervision service quality on hedonic enjoyment; experience satisfaction positively mediates the impact of information communication service quality and administrative supervision service quality on both eudaimonia enjoyment and hedonic enjoyment; the alternative attractiveness negatively moderates the impact of public facilities service quality, convenience and benefit service quality, and administrative supervision service quality on experience value and the impact of public facilities service quality and convenience and benefit service quality on experience satisfaction. This study integrates the dual structure of subjective well-being and psychological well-being and expands the research on tourists’ well-being. Additionally, it defines the psychological mechanism and boundary conditions of the influence of tourism public service quality on tourists’ well-being, providing important enlightenment for improving tourism public service quality and enhancing tourists’ long-term well-being.

The development of artificial intelligence technology has normalized service robots cooperating with front-line employees in restaurants to deliver customer services. The effect of service robots has attracted the attention of several researchers. However, existing research has focused on the relationship between customers and robots, whereas research on employees and robots is limited. This study constructs a conceptual model of the four performance features of service robots and employees’ work well-being from the dual perspectives of innovation resistance theory and conservation of resources theory. Using bootstrapping to test the chain mediation effect of robot anxiety and work engagement, the following conclusions were drawn: (1) the animacy and perceived safety of the service robot have significant indirect effects on employees’ work well-being, and employees’ robot anxiety and work engagement have a significant chain mediated effect on the relationships of “animacy-work well-being” and “perceived safety-work well-being”; (2) the animacy and perceived safety of service robots negatively affect employees’ robot anxiety; (3) employees’ robot anxiety weakens their work engagement and reduces their work well-being; and (4) work engagement can improve employees’ work well-being. This study enriches research on the influence of robots on employees in service enterprises.

Fluctuations in the tourism industry have caused many families to face practical difficulties in livelihood sustainability; thus, tourism-based livelihood resilience has become an important research topic. Analyzing the theoretical relationship between the research progress of tourism-based livelihood resilience and the Sustainable Livelihood Approach, this study innovatively integrates sustainable livelihoods and livelihood resilience, considers cultural resilience as a critical element, and constructs a theoretical analysis framework of tourism-based livelihood resilience with multidimensional perspectives and dynamic characteristics. Additionally, cases in Dali of Yunnan, were employed to analyze the acculturation, influencing factors, and cooperative governance of tourism-based livelihood resilience. This study expands the theoretical perspective on sustainable livelihoods and improves the theoretical system of tourism-based livelihood resilience. In the future, livelihood resilience measurement methods, comparison of multilevel case studies, evolutionary mechanism analysis, and collaborative governance should be strengthened in research on tourism-based livelihood resilience.

Although hotel research has developed in China for more than thirty years, few studies have investigated the knowledge development process or the current status of Chinese hotel research. This paper conducts a chronological analysis of hotel-related papers published in two leading Chinese tourism journals, namely Tourism Tribune and Tourism Science. The total number of articles included in the analysis was 598. Network analysis was used to examine the key contributors and institutes contributing to the Chinese hotel literature across different time periods. The research area, research design, and methods for data collection and data analysis were identified for each sampled hotel article by adopting a manual coding approach. Results show that the paradigm of Chinese hotel research shifted between the years 2001 and 2005, characterized by distinct foci and methodological preferences. The majority of hotel articles published before 2000 were conceptual and atheoretical; empirical research following a hypothesis-testing approach has grown rapidly since 2000 and now has become the dominant paradigm of Chinese hotel research. Regarding the topics of Chinese hotel research, there has been an increased interest in the attitudes and behaviors of hotel employees and customers, and a declining interest in understanding the practical aspects of hotel management. Correspondingly, surveys targeting hotel customers and employees have become the most widely used data collection tool; also, data analysis methods have become more sophisticated, with techniques suitable for latent variable analysis, including factor analysis and structural equation modeling, gaining popularity.
