Traces of national culture on the websites of the best hotels as determined by TripAdvisor (ICPSR 209681)
Released/updated on: 2024-10-16
This study explores the intricate relationship between national culture and digital communication strategies in the tourism and hospitality industry, focusing specifically on Hofstede's uncertainty avoidance dimension. Analyzing the websites of the top 25 hotels on TripAdvisor, we uncover how cultural traits shape online marketing and customer engagement. Our findings reveal distinct patterns in website design and content tailored to varying levels of uncertainty avoidance. Hotels in medium uncertainty avoidance cultures adopt a balanced approach, emphasizing personalized experiences, luxury, and guest-oriented language, thereby appealing to diverse consumer preferences. In contrast, hotels in high uncertainty avoidance cultures prioritize security, reliability, and detailed information, fostering trust and reducing perceived risks for potential guests. This research not only highlights the significance of cultural dimensions in shaping online communication strategies but also provides actionable insights for hotel managers seeking to enhance their digital presence. The study contributes to the broader understanding of how culture influences consumer behavior in digital environments and underscores the need for culturally adaptive communication strategies in the tourism and hospitality industry.

Maya Biosphere Reserve Livelihoods and Participation in Tourism (ICPSR 196741)
Released/updated on: 2024-01-04
Geographic coverage: Carmelita, Guatemala
Community-based tourism is often promoted in protected areas as a means to dually promote conservation and alleviate poverty in rural communities. However, these projects have mixed results in practice and their livelihood impacts are understudied. Hence, through a comparative case study, this research compares how greater local collective authority over tourism affected the distribution of tourism jobs in three gateway towns to the most visited national parks within Guatemala's Maya Biosphere Reserve and how compatible tourism was with residents' other livelihood activities. The data reports aggregate livelihood data including information on household demographics, income and income sources, household assets, use of forest products, time dedicated to cultivation, and participation in tourism for 134 households across the towns of Carmelita, Socotzal, and Yaxha within the Reserve.

Dimensionality of Nations Project: Attributes of Nations and Behavior of Nation Dyads, 1950-1965 (ICPSR 5409)
Released/updated on: 1992-02-16
Geographic coverage: Global
Time period: 1950-01-01--1965-12-31
This study contains data on the economic, diplomatic, military, and social dyadic interactions among a selected sample of 182 nation-dyads in the years 1950, 1955, 1960, 1963, and 1965. Originally collected by the Dimensionality of Nations (DON) Project at the University of Hawaii, these data provide information on the behavioral dimensions of the interactions between the nations in the dyads. The dyads represent all of the paired relationships for 14 nations. Variables such as economic aid, official visits, treaties, co-participation in international conferences, exports, tourist visits, intergovernmental organizations, common membership in nongovernmental organizations, common blocs membership, and military alliances measure positive interactions or cooperative behavior between the nations. Other variables such as military actions, negative behavior, severance of diplomatic relations, expulsion or recall of diplomats and lesser officials, boycott or embargo, aid to subversive groups or enemies, accusations, protests, attacks on embassy, and lost territory from one nation to the other measure conflictual interactions. The variables are arranged by year and within year by dyad number.
