“…The tourism experience reflects a combination of a customer's emotional, cognitive and behavioural commitments that are related to tourism activity and extend over time (Tung and Ritchie, 2011). Regarding a specific group of consumers, which often includes a large number of actors whose youngest members play a central role in the experience (Drenten, 2018), a family's experience as tourists would be structured as follows: before the activity begins (preparation, planning), during the stay and after the stay (when the experience is recalled). This last step is an assessment source.…”

“…Decrop and Snelders (2004) indicate that the social dimension has primacy over other aspects of holiday planning, especially regarding the family. In this sense, recent literature shows the interest of studying the family targeta specific group (more actors, importance of children, higher positive and negative tensions) (Drenten, 2018) to which companies are paying more and more attention, especially in the field of tourism. According to TripAdvisor (February 2019), [3] the "family activities" category saw the strongest growth (þ204 per cent) in bookings between 2017 and 2018.…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.
