ASTC Travel Passport Program Participants May 1, 2020 - October 31, 2020 ASTC Travel Passport Program Participants May 1, 2020 - October 31, 2020 The ASTC Travel Passport Program is a reciprocal admission program that offers a travel benefit to the members of Passport Program participating science centers or museums. Given local responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, many Passport-participating institutions are altering their operations or are fully closed to the public. Before you make plans to visit a Passport institution, please call the institution or check its website to confirm its current status and learn of any special procedures related to the situation. As a member of an institution that participates in the ASTC Travel Passport Program, you are eligible for benefits such as free GENERAL ADMISSION when you travel outside of your local area to the other participating institutions listed here. These benefits DO NOT include free or discounted admission to special exhibits, planetarium, and larger- screen theater presentations, nor do they include museum store discounts and other benefits associated with museum membership unless stated otherwise. EXCLUSIONS 1. Science centers and museums located within 90 miles* of the science center/museum where the visitor is a member. 2. Science centers and museums located within 90 miles* of the visitor’s residence. *This distance is measured “as the crow flies,” meaning that it is based on the linear radius, not driving distance. To help determine linear radius distance, use the “Measure Distance” feature on Google Maps. BEFORE YOU TRAVEL CHECKLIST Make sure the science center/museum you are visiting is not excluded. Review that science center/museum’s family admittance policy below. − Call before you visit to confirm your Passport Program benefits. Pack your ID (or other proof of residence). − Admissions staff reserve the right to request proof of residence for benefits to apply. − Passport Program venues requesting proof of residence are designated. Pack your membership card. − Passport Program venues are not required to grant benefits to visitors who forget their cards. − There is no universal database with all Passport visitors’ member data for admission staff to reference. − Some venues will allow you to call the science center or museum you joined to confirm your membership, but they are under no obligation to do so. Lost your card? Please contact the museum that you joined. ASTC does not administer museum membership cards. CALL BEFORE YOU VISIT TO CONFIRM YOUR TRAVEL PASSPORT PROGRAM BENEFITS.

    sustainability Article Museum Tourism 2.0: Experiences and Satisfaction with Shopping at the National Gallery in London Jun Shao 1, Qinlin Ying 2, Shujin Shu 1, Alastair M. Morrison 3,* and Elizabeth Booth 3 1 School of Landscape Architecture, Beijing Forestry University, No.35 Tsinghua East Road, Beijing 100083, China; [email protected] (J.S.); [email protected] (S.S.) 2 Dornsife College of Letters and Arts and Science, University of Southern California, 3551 University Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90089, USA; [email protected] 3 Business School, Department of Marketing, Events and Tourism, University of Greenwich, London SE10 9LS, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 12 November 2019; Accepted: 7 December 2019; Published: 11 December 2019 Abstract: The tourist shopping experience is the sum of the satisfaction or dissatisfaction from the individual attributes of purchased products and services. With the popularity of the Internet and travel review websites, more people choose to upload their tour experiences on their favorite social media platforms, which can influence another’s travel planning and choices. However, there have been few investigations of social media reviews of tourist shopping experiences and especially of satisfaction with museum tourism shopping. This research analyzed the user-generated reviews of the National Gallery (NG) in London written in the English language on TripAdvisor to learn more about tourist shopping experience in museums. The Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic model was used to discover the underlying themes of online reviews and keywords related to these shopping experiences. Sentiment analysis based on a purpose-developed dictionary was conducted to explore the dissatisfying aspects of tourist shopping experiences.
