Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

  • Green corporate social responsibility practice and green consumption intention among customers of hotels in Ghana.   Order a copy of this article
    by Edward Markwei Martey 
    Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the factors that influence green corporate social responsibility practice and green consumption intention in Ghana and create a conceptual framework that integrates protection motivation theory (PMT) and social cognitive learning theory (STC). A response from 535 consumers was gathered from hotels using a mall-intercept survey method. Structural equation modelling was employed as a statistical tool to examine the direct and indirect effects of the proposed paths. The outcome shows that green corporate social responsibility positively motivates the protection of the environment. The media and social sanctions positively moderate the relationship between green corporate social responsibility and green consumption intention. Contrary, community, personal issues and self-comparison negatively influence the relationship between green corporate social responsibilities and green consumption intention.
    Keywords: Ghana; green consumption; green corporate social responsibility; GCSR; self-efficacy.

  • Analysing tourism lifecycle stages via accommodation capacity a penalised regression approach in a small-island economy   Order a copy of this article
    by Ahmed Naayif, Magdalena Majchrzak, Bingsen Zhao, M.D. Kamrul Hassan 
    Abstract: This study addresses the lack of longitudinal, quantitative evidence on how accommodation infrastructure signals lifecycle stages in small-island economies by integrating the tourism area life cycle (TALC) model and the destination competitiveness framework (DCF) in the Maldives. Using monthly data from 2012-2024 from the Maldives Monetary Authority, ridge regression with bootstrapping in R Studio was applied. Results show a significant negative temporal association with tourist arrivals (≈0.45% monthly decline) after controlling for accommodation, transport, and external shocks, and positive associations between arrivals and all accommodation types, with resort capacity exhibiting the highest elasticity. These findings indicate that accommodation infrastructure changes provide measurable indicators of lifecycle stages, while the relative competitiveness of accommodation types varies by context. The study contributes methodologically by combining TALC, DCF, and econometric modelling, and offers practical guidance for infrastructure planning, diversification, and sustainable investment in small-island tourism management.
    Keywords: accommodation type; bed capacity; tourist arrival; trend; small-island economies; destination competitiveness framework; DCF.
