The study introduces the term “on-site animosity” with respect to expressions of hostility against travelers' nation during their stay at the visited destination. Behavioral responses to on-site animosity are examined by focusing on performances of national identity among Israeli business travelers while interacting with locals and host colleagues. Based on the analysis of in-depth interviews and in line with a Goffmanian perspective, the study presents four performative strategies that span across two dimensions of situational behavior: the inclination of the travelers to conceal or display national identity and their motivations to do it. The study advances a fresh perspective and provides an empirically based conceptualization regarding the influence of animosity on travel behavior.

该研究引入了“现场敌意”一词，表示旅行者在访问目的地期间对国家的敌意。通过关注以色列商务旅行者在与当地人和接待同事互动时表现出的民族认同，研究了对现场敌意的行为反应。在深入访谈的分析基础上，并根据戈夫曼主义的观点，该研究提出了四种表现策略，这些策略跨越了情境行为的两个方面：旅行者倾向于隐瞒或展示国家身份的动机及其动机。这项研究提出了新的观点，并提供了关于敌意对旅行行为的影响的基于经验的概念化。
