With this notice, the Tourism and Hospitality Editorial Office wishes to alert readers to concerns related to the extent to which the cited study (Zakaria et al., 2021) complies with MDPI’s policy on Research Involving Human Subjects.

The Editorial Board conducted an evaluation of the matter. However, as no response was received from the authors or their institutions concerning the ethical approval of the study, the concerns could not be conclusively resolved.

Considering the non-interventional nature of the research, the Editorial Board determined that no further editorial action is warranted at this time. This notice is issued in the interest of transparency and to maintain the integrity of the scholarly record. The journal will reconsider the matter should additional information become available.
