Abstract
Purpose
An essential requirement for tourism planning and policymaking is to review past strategies. The development of future roadmaps depends on a robust strategy validation process. The research analyses the technology strategies in Goa from 1962–2017 and highlights the impact of technology on tourism in Goa.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper presents a unique methodology that integrates tourism area life cycle (TALC) and Mintzberg’s strategy analysis framework to evaluate strategies at a tourism destination.
Findings
The findings show that most technological advancements have taken place during the period 1989–2008. Both deliberate and emergent strategies were identified. Development of technology altered the type of tourism practiced in Goa. The use of internet facilitated the growth of tourism.

This study clarifies the styles of public planning for tourism. It provides the foundation for strategic planning process.
Practical implications
Effective and efficient use of policy through technology road mapping can aid in co-creating a sustainable tourism destination for the future.
Social implications
The strategic evaluation framework can be used in any tourism destinations to identify past strategies and assess its impact on the future.
Originality/value
The paper presents a unique methodology that integrates TALC and Mintzberg’s strategy analysis framework to evaluate strategies at a tourism destination. The research proposes a strategic evaluation process that recognizes past strategies to validate the strategic analysis process.

Abstract
Purpose
Risk management is an emerging research area in tourism and hospitality. This paper classifies hotels based on grid (control) and group (inter dependencies) structure given by the cultural theory of risk. This paper aims to understand whether hotels grouped as per grid group structure differ on risk coping strategies such as mitigation, absorption and transfer for various hospitality risks.
Design/methodology/approach
Primary data are collected from 112 senior managers of luxury hotels using structured questionnaire aimed to capture the grid group aspect and risk management practices. Using factor scores, hotels are grouped. One-way analysis of variance is performed on these data to ascertain whether risk management practices of various types of hotels differ.
Findings
Results provide new insights into hotels grid group aspect and risk-related behaviour, revealing that hotels significantly differ on risk coping and confirming that the structure of hotel – the grid and group – does impact its risk management practices.
Research limitations/implications
The study adds to the extant literature. For the first time, the grid group structure of hotel is proposed to impact the risk coping. Second, the risk perception study is conducted at firm level and not at individual level as done in past. Third, the paper looks at all three risk management practices and not in isolation, thus taking the risk research dialogue further. The study has not considered non-luxury hotels. Second limitation is a small sample of 112 hotels.
Practical implications
The study opens up a new perspective on hotel risk management. The researchers will benefit from the newer, theoretical understanding of firm-level complex structure of risk. The hotels risk professionals can benefit from understanding grid group structure and risk coping practices.
Originality/value
The novel approach of grid group classification of hotels is developed. Risk management practices are studied across hotel types for various risks. Study enhances the understanding of risk and grid group structure with regard to managing hospitality risk.

Abstract
Purpose
Tourist destinations are constantly changing products, evolving as per the controls exerted by the stakeholders. The study aims to map the pattern of tourism development and identify the strategies formed at the destination over a seven-decade period for a state as a unit of analysis.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper evaluates tourism development through the tourism area life cycle (TALC) model and uses Mintzberg's strategy analysis process to identify strategies. The study involves time series analysis, pattern matching and explanation-building techniques. The TALC is plotted for the number of tourist arrivals from 1947 to 2019, and strategies are mapped for each stage.
Findings
The TALC shows a cycle-recycle pattern of tourism development. The research revealed several strategies at different stages. Both the central and state governments and entrepreneurs, distinctively and in conjunction, have formed strategies. The pattern shows the period of piecemeal and global strategic changes contributing to tourism development.
Research limitations/implications
The research unearths the strategies that drive the development curves of TALC, emphasising the integration of TALC with other theories. The research also assesses the strategy formed in the pre-tourism stage.
Practical implications
The research brings to light the use of TALC as a strategic road-mapping tool. In addition, the study emphasises the significance of global and piecemeal strategic periods and stakeholder's regulatory and operational roles.
Originality/value
The research uses a unique methodology that maps the strategies, periods of strategic changes and incremental strategies for each stage of TALC, along with identifying the stakeholders.

Abstract
Purpose
This study conducts a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis to explore the overarching trends, growth trajectories, key themes, significant contributors and scope of research concerning the interplay between foreign capital inflows, institutional quality and the dynamics of financial development.
Design/methodology/approach
Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines have been followed to identify the articles. A thorough literature review was then conducted, supplemented by a bibliometric analysis using the Biblioshiny software within the RStudio platform.
Findings
Empirical research consistently demonstrates a strong correlation between foreign capital inflows, institutional quality and financial development. The bibliometric analysis indicates a 5.56% annual growth rate in this area, alongside a steady increase in scientific output. Regarding country-specific scientific production, China, Malaysia and the United States rank among the world’s top 10 most prolific nations. Thematic map analysis further reveals that the keywords “institutional quality,” “financial development” and “foreign direct investment” are categorized as “basic themes,” highlighting their significant potential for future research.
Research limitations/implications
The analysis relies on Biblioshiny software; future studies could incorporate other methods such as cluster analysis, citation and co-citation analysis using VOSviewer. Additionally, a more comprehensive meta-analysis covering a longer time span can be considered for future research.
Practical implications
This study shall assist researchers in identifying recent advancements in the components of foreign capital and their direct and indirect effects on financial development through the lens of institutional quality. It provides valuable insights for scholars, aiding in recognizing emerging trends and patterns in the field. Additionally, it highlights key contributors, including leading authors, journals and countries, thereby fostering global academic collaboration.
Social implications
This research offers policymakers a clear framework for formulating policies to effectively leverage foreign capital inflows for financial development. It also emphasizes the importance of a strong institutional environment in the relationship between foreign capital inflow and financial market development.
Originality/value
The study uncovers key gaps in the multidimensional aspects of financial development and the heterogeneity of foreign direct investment (FDI), thereby deepening scholars' understanding of trends, growth rates and potential future directions in the field.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this research is to study the antecedents of risk perceptions of bank managers towards micro, small, medium enterprise (MSME) lending, in the situation of information asymmetry, where cognitive factors assume significance over organisational norms of lending.
Design/methodology/approach
This study proposed and tested a conceptual model based on the factors identified from literature review and exploratory and quantitative study. Multinomial logistic regression technique is used for quantitative analysis.
Findings
The research postulates that information asymmetry, risk attitude, perceived trust and organizational norms have a significant relationship with branch managers' perceived risk in lending to MSMEs. The research emphasized that the risk attitude of managers and perceived trust moderate the relationship between information asymmetry and perceived risk. The findings and discussions enrich the knowledge about the alleviators of constraints to MSME funding in developing nations despite information asymmetry.
Originality/value
Authors have given holistic view on the risk perception in the financial decision-making process of bank lending. The research highlights the importance of cognitive factors in decreasing the negative impact of information asymmetry on risk perception.
