It is research which stipulates different strategies used to achieve the results in tourism sector. It evaluates the knowledge sharing behavior in social media platform (Croes and Ridderstaat, 2017). It examined the consequences of 3 dimensions of cognitive, social capital and relationships of TripAdvisor and Facebook. It came up with a proposal on the structural models which link consequence and antecedent of the primary dimensions of the social capital (Boley et al., 2013). It pointed out that neither shared visions nor the trust drive knowledge on TripAdvisor and on the other hand shared views had an impact on Facebook (Ayeh et al., 2013). It also found that the two social media platforms, social interaction links have a crucial role in encouraging the users to comment and post opinions. However, homophily was found not to have any effect on trust in both platforms. The journal further is relevant to the study as it explored various ideas on the Facebook and TripAdvisor which can be advantageous for investors to use while they want to improve their businesses (Gibson et al., 2014). As way to show weakness of the study, the journal address implications it had it getting the data, and also it offer recommendation which is necessary for future research. The journal offers hints on knowledge sharing which involves some kinds of behaviors which assist in exchanging the already acquired information. It indicates how posting comments in the two platforms can affect the tourism. It also showed how posting comments by tourism reveals the great experiences they went through during the visit (Ayeh et al., 2013). The journal further came up with information that there is little information on knowledge sharing in the setting of social media platforms. It also indicated that platforms such as TripAdvisor attribute to the active engagement of the online commu nity in offering opinions of their experiences. It also offers statistics on the popularity of the two platforms used which is a good step in advising tourist on better sites to use while sharing their experiences. The journal is poorly organized. It provided theoretical framework without even providing the literature of the work which could have made the reader first get clear information on what other authors have mentioned on the issue. Again journal should state clearly its objectives so that it will be clear on specific things they wanted to study. The part of discussions is not included in the journal. The presentation should have included discussion of the findings in its different subtopic rather that mixing the two parts at a go. It contradicts the whole format of presenting journal information, and to meet the needs of the reader; it should be made simple and attractive. It is Journal of Tourism Research Hospitality Research Article which examines the consequences of cyclic patterns of changes in climate on the demand of tourism. The journal drives its evidence from Aruba. To be specific, it evaluates the effects of temperature, rainfall, and the wind and the way they affect the demands of the tourism from USA, Venezuela, and Netherlands on Aruba which is a small state situated at the Island (KoÃ… ¾i?, 2014). It also included two significant atmospheric variabilities; Northern Atlantic Oscillation and El Nino. The journal further employs wavelet analysis due to the inconvenience of economic and meteorological time series. It came out with results that push and pull cyclical climatic issues had a significant influence on the demand for tourism from the three states used (Kazaki, et al., 2017). It further offers recommendations that the tourism and climatic variabilities should be considered especially when developing the models of tourism demand. Journal of Tourism Research Hospitality Research Article does research on tourism. By conducting different types of studies, this journal can get issues which affect hospitality industry at hand (Oduber et al., 2015).

It uses different techniques to come up with results and based on the case study it uses, the authenticity of the results is high, and it contributes to a real life situation. The conclusions drawn can are relevant to the industry, and it can be us ed to solve issues in future (Do, 2014). Also, it prepares tourist on the best days to have visits to Aruba in regards to changes in weather. Recommendations The article is much detailed, and it should consider presenting its information in a simple manner which can attract the reader to draw the meaning quickly. It should shorten its background information and focus on the methodologies and discussions which in turn could offer much information concerning what was researched. Instead of presenting images of its finding in the different web page, it could be convenient if it had put it on the same presentation page to keep the reader with flowing information. It also should offer recommendations which are necessary for further research. Reference list Ayeh, J.K., Au, N. and Law, R., 2013. Do we believe in TripAdvisor?
