Personalized Persuasion for Visitors’ Data-Sharing Activities in Amusement Parks
Tourist’s unwillingness to share personal data has been detrimental to smart tourism development. Drawing on social value orientation theory and the unification model of framing, this study examined how person–situation interaction affects theme park visitors’ willingness to share three types of personal travel data in hopes of better understanding crowd management. A between–group method was applied in a micro-longitudinal single factor (message…
Understanding Traveler Behavior Before, During, and Post Covid ‐19
While much research has been conducted related to COVID‐19's impact on travel, little research has examined the underlying determinants of changes in behavior and how it shifted across time. Grounded by the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the concept of constraint negotiation, this qualitative study simulates a longitudinal method to understand traveler behavior changes before, during, and after the COVID‐19 pandemic. In‐depth interviews rev…

Predictive validity of unidimensional and multidimensional measures of involvement in the tourism research
This study compares the unidimensional and multidimensional measures of involvement by examining their predictive validity on satisfaction and loyalty. By adopting the three-step approach comparing correlated correlations of non-nested models involving Steiger’s Z test, this study found that the multidimensional measure of involvement predicted satisfaction and loyalty better than the unidimensional measure within the same data. Therefore, touris…
Testing the Effect of Price Framing on Nonresidents’ Perceptions of Dual Pricing in State Parks
Dual pricing is a differential pricing technique that has been frequently practiced in public-funded parks and recreation services. Unfortunately, this practice can arouse resentment among nonresidents, especially those who know little about the financial aspects of public-funded parks and recreation services. Hence, the current study, informed by prospect theory used a 2 × 2×2 factorial design in the context of state parks to investigate the eff…

Data were collected in multiple phases, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative methodological approaches. Fi…
Tourism Experiences as a Stress Reliever
The effect-recovery theory (Meijman and Mulder 1998) and the conservation of resources theory (Hobfoll 1998) suggest that taking a leisure trip provides opportunities for relaxation, detachment from work, mastery experience, and personal control. This research examined the role of tourism experiences as a stress reliever, particularly focusing on the underlying psychological experiences associated with recovery. Further, this research examined ho…

Health and Wellness Benefits of Travel Experiences
Tourism has been widely regarded as a mentally and physically healthy pursuit. Thus, recent studies in tourism have paid more attention to the benefits of travel experiences. However, most studies pertaining to the topic have been conducted in the fields of organizational behavior and health science. Therefore, this research attempts to provide a comprehensive review of the literature on the health and wellness benefits of travel. The results rev…
Family and Relationship Benefits of Travel Experiences
The purpose of this review was to examine existent research on the benefits of travel applicable to working adults, couples, families, and extended family members. While travel is often perceived as an outlet for relaxation, education, and a chance to escape the mundane, recent research suggests that travel has several deeper benefits for families, relationships, and the individual. Findings from an extensive review of literature revealed that to…
The Educational Benefits of Travel Experiences
Empirical evidence about the educational outcomes of travel is scattered across many fields of study. This paper reviews the literature on the educational benefits of travel, beginning with the literature on study abroad. Learning outcomes have been found from the travel portion of the study experience, and some research has found that out-of-class experiences were the most impactful portion of study abroad. Personal growth, increase in life skil…

Measuring Attribute-Specific and Overall Satisfaction with Destination Experience
Researchers have measured tourist satisfaction at both overall (global) and attribute levels, and found that attribute-specific satisfaction significantly influences overall satisfaction. When satisfaction is operationalized at two levels, the measurement structure presents "specific-general" questions, which may yield psychological effects due to the ordering of questions. This study examined question order effects when measuring attribute and o…

Towards an Integrative Model of Loyalty Formation
Researchers have noted the utility of the Investment Model in explaining the formation of loyalty. This study extends the Investment Model in a leisure service context by including two additional constructs of quality and value. Quality and value are proposed as antecedents of satisfaction, with their effects on loyalty mediated by satisfaction. Results from an online panel survey of American cruise passengers support these hypotheses. The study …
Revisiting the Commitment-Loyalty Distinction in a Cruising Context
This paper attempts to revisit the commitment-loyalty relationship by conceptually and empirically examining the differences (and similarities) between the two constructs. A review of the extant literature suggests that the key issue regarding this relationship is whether we can equate commitment with the attitudinal dimension of loyalty. In a cruise travelers' study, the relationships of the two constructs were examined in terms of their loading…

Development of a Multi-Dimensional Scale for Measuring the Perceived Value of a Service
The construct of perceived value has been identified as one of the most important measures for gaining competitive edge (Parasuraman, 1997), and has been argued to be the most important indicator of repurchase intentions (Parasuraman & Grewal, 2000). Thus, the measurement of perceived value may have far reaching implications for the recreation and tourism fields. The purpose of the current study was to develop a multidimensional scale for the mea…

Analysis of Golfer Motivations and Constraints by Experience Use History
With an increasing competition for attracting golfers to individual sites, it is becoming more important for managers to identify the variables which attract and retain their golfing clientele. The segmentation of golfers into homogeneous markets allows for the comparison of consumer variables by groups and can assist management in formulating consumer-oriented marketing strategies. The current study utilized experience use history (EUH) to creat…

An Examination of the Construct of Perceived Value for the Prediction of Golf Travelers’ Intentions to Revisit
The construct of perceived value has been identified in the marketing literature as one of the most important measures for gaining competitive edge and has been argued to be the most important indicator of repurchase intentions. Yet, in the field of tourism, repurchase intentions and consumer loyalty are often predicted solely by measures of consumer satisfaction and/or service quality. One market in need of repurchase intention research is the g…

First Timers’ and Repeaters’ Perceived Value
While it has been suggested that perceived value is the most important indicator of future purchase behavior for services, few studies have examined the underlying frame-work of perceived value. Research has also suggested the importance of identifying differences between first-time and repeat visitors. Thus, the purpose of the current study was to test the relationships between reputation, emotional response, monetary price, behavioral price, qu…
The Roles of Quality, Value, and Satisfaction in Predicting Cruise Passengers’ Behavioral Intentions
The purpose of the current study was to examine the relationships between satisfaction, perceived value, and quality in their prediction of intentions to repurchase and positive word of mouth publicity. These constructs have been examined from three distinctly different perspectives, resulting in three competing models. Thus, the satisfaction model, perceived value model, and quality model were utilized to assess which one best explains cruise pa…
