In previous issues, this journal presented original refereed papers, both conceptual and research-based, focused on various topics of tourism, heritage, and services with an emphasis on marketing and management. Volume 6, issue 1 is a Special Issue (the first ever published by JTHSM) and we focus on furthering the journal\u2019s scope and consolidating its position in both conceptual developments and practical applications in tourism, heritage, and services through publication of five quality manuscripts, four full papers and one research note, that were initially included in 6th International Conference on Contemporary Marketing Issues (ICCMI) that was held in Greece in 2018. These papers were further improved by their authors and subsequently underwent additional rigorous double-blind reviewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Export reference:<\/strong><em><br><\/em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jthsm.gr\/?page_id=2795\" target=\"_blank\">BibTeX<\/a><span style=\"color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color\">,,<\/span><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jthsm.gr\/?page_id=2796\" target=\"_blank\">DataCite<\/a><span style=\"color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color\">,,<\/span><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jthsm.gr\/?page_id=2797\" target=\"_blank\">Endnote<\/a><span style=\"color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color\">,,<\/span><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mendeley.com\/import\/?url=https:\/\/zenodo.org\/record\/3603443\" target=\"_blank\">Mendeley<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cite as:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sheresheva, \u039c. \u03a5.

Future behavior is often subject to visitors\u2019 place of residence. The type of museum is also a significant factor affecting satisfaction and future behavior. on and loyalty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Implications:<\/em><\/strong><em> Findings are somewhat consistent with prior studies in museums and support the significance of service quality on satisfaction. The correlation analysis for both museums shows that there is a moderate positive correlation between all SERVPERF dimensions with future behavior. Path analysis with structural equation modeling revealed a statistically significant positive effect only of tangibles for Science and Technology Museum and reliability for the Archaeological museum on visitors\u2019 satisfaction.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords: <\/strong>Service Quality, Museums, Satisfaction, Future Behavior, SERVPERF<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>JEL Classification:<\/strong> L8, L15, L83<\/p>\n\n\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/cdn.plu.mx\/widget-popup.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/plu.mx\/plum\/a\/?ssrn_id=3747772\" data-popup=\"right\" data-badge=\"true\" class=\"plumx-plum-print-popup plum-bigben-theme\" data-site=\"plum\" data-hide-when-empty=\"true\">Service Quality, Visitor Satisfaction and Future Behavior in the Museum Sector<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Export reference:<\/strong><em><br><\/em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jthsm.gr\/?page_id=3185\" target=\"_blank\">BibTeX<\/a><span style=\"color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color\">,,<\/span><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jthsm.gr\/?page_id=3184\" target=\"_blank\">DataCite<\/a><span style=\"color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color\">,,<\/span><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jthsm.gr\/?page_id=3183\" target=\"_blank\">Dublin Core<\/a><span style=\"color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color\">,,<\/span><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mendeley.com\/import\/?url=https:\/\/zenodo.org\/record\/3603167\" target=\"_blank\">Mendeley<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"><strong>Cite as:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Daskalaki, V.

Marketing issues are of crucial importance for Russian regions with unique landscapes and many small towns with their ancient churches, original local museums, and other attractions.<\/em><em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Methods:<\/em><\/strong><em> A questionnaire survey of 213 locals was performed, to analyze the prospects of positioning the Mari El Republic as an attractive tourism destination for rural and ethno-tourism, taking in account the unique character of the Mari settlements in terms of history, culture, and ecology, as well as the need to preserve local traditions and culture.<\/em><em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Results:<\/em><\/strong><em> The main obstacle for sustainable tourism development in the Russian regions examined, is the lack of prominence and absence of right market positioning. For the Mari El Republic as one of the most prospective sustainable tourism destinations in Russia, ethno-tourism concept, based on preserving paganism, the traditional religion of the Mari people, can become a solid basis for positioning.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Implications: <\/em><\/strong><em>Research presented here sheds light on the Russian tourism market diversity, as well as on uniqueness of small Russian towns and villages as attractive destinations for cultural, heritage, and ecology tourism. It also underlines the need to understand socio-cultural aspects of tourism destinations to ensure positive impact on local communities that are the most important stakeholders in destination marketing.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Tourism, marketing, sustainable tourism, small settlements, culture, destination development, Russia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>JEL Classification:<\/strong> M31, Q01, Z32<\/p>\n\n\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/cdn.plu.mx\/widget-popup.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/plu.mx\/plum\/a\/?ssrn_id=3747967\" data-popup=\"right\" data-badge=\"true\" class=\"plumx-plum-print-popup plum-bigben-theme\" data-site=\"plum\" data-hide-when-empty=\"true\">Marketing Issues of Sustainable Tourism Development in Russian Regions<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Export reference:<\/strong><em><br><\/em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jthsm.gr\/?page_id=2809\" target=\"_blank\">BibTeX<\/a><span style=\"color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color\">,,<\/span><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jthsm.gr\/?page_id=2810\" target=\"_blank\">DataCite<\/a><span style=\"color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color\">,,<\/span><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jthsm.gr\/?page_id=2811\" target=\"_blank\">Endnote<\/a><span style=\"color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color\">,,<\/span><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mendeley.com\/import\/?url=https:\/\/zenodo.org\/record\/3603422\" target=\"_blank\">Mendeley<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cite as:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sheresheva, M.
