• Evaluating Residents’ Attitudes Toward Tourism Development and Regional Collaboration within the Monongahela National Forest Region (2024) · Journal of Outdoor Recreation Education and Leadership · cited 1× · doi

  While the nine hypotheses are not consistently supported with mixed findings, it seems that residents from counties at higher levels of development stages are more likely to support tourism development because of its positive economic benefits to communities while disfavoring tourism development for its negative social impacts on communities; to value the importance and benefits of regional collaboration, and to score higher on their communities’ strengths in tourism development.

• Translating sustainable winemaking innovation into brand value: authenticity and regional heritage in Taiwan’s wine industry (2026) · Quality & Quantity · doi

  Prior studies have largely examined sustainability, authenticity, and heritage-based differentiation separately, offering limited insight into how they jointly connect production practices with market outcomes. There is a lack of understanding of how innovation signals and cultural nostalgia shape perceptions of authenticity and regional heritage in emerging wine contexts.

• Community-Led Sustainable Tourism in Rural Areas: Enhancing Wine Tourism Destination Competitiveness and Local Empowerment (2025) · Sustainability · cited 70× · doi

  Longitudinal studies could be conducted to assess the long-term effects of community participation on the sustainability of tourism in wine regions. Research could explore the role of digital innovations in enhancing marketing efforts and promoting sustainable tourism practices. Investigating cross-cultural differences in community participation across various wine regions would provide comparative insights into community-led tourism models, offering valuable lessons for areas at different stages of tourism development.
