Tourists' Carbon‐Neutral Intentions and Willingness to Pay Tourism Carbon Tax: Integrating the Climate Change Risk Perception Model and Attitude Framework
This study developed an integrated framework that combines the climate change risk perception model and the risk perception attitude framework to explain tourists' carbon‐neutral behavior. Data were collected from 300 Korean tourists via an online survey conducted in June 2025, and structural equation modeling was conducted. The results show that experiential processes strongly influence perceived risk, whereas cognitive and sociocultural factors…

Measuring Virtual Event Quality (VEQual): Scale Development and Validation
Traditional in-person events are becoming virtual or hybrid events with the rise of more innovative platforms. The market for virtual events has expanded considerably, with a concomitant rise in the demand for research on the nature and dynamics of virtual events. However, research on virtual event quality (VEQual) remains in its infancy, lagging behind the industry’s rise and resulting in a lack of understanding of the concept and how it is meas…
Branding Co-Creation with Consumer-Generated Advertising: Effect on Creators and Observers
Of the social media tools available to brand managers, consumer-generated advertising (CGA) has attractive features combining consumer-generated content, social media advertising, and online interactive marketing campaigns. However, only a small number of customers actively participate in co-creation of CGA. Based on social presence theory and service-dominant logic conceptualization, we examined CGA observers, knowledgeable and attentive viewers…
The Determinants of Continuance Intention toward Activity-Based Events Using a Virtual Experience Platform (VEP)
The COVID-19 pandemic compelled traditional in-person events to begin transforming into more innovative and safer experiences by utilizing various virtual experience platforms (VEP). This study explores the salient determinants affecting the self-paced hiking or race event attendees' intention to continue attending the event through the use of VEP based on two robust theories: the expectation–confirmation model (ECM) and the unified theory of acc…
Why not this destination? The effects of travel constraints of independent travelers on destination image formation
In spite of diverse measures by national governments and destination marketing organizations (DMOs), the statistics related to international tourist destinations, including those of independent travelers, show that the rankings of the most popular tourist destinations have undergone minimal changes over the past decade. The aim of this study is to understand the factors that prevent independent travelers from selecting smaller regions (i.e., rela…
The Reciprocal Role of Trust in Customer Value Co-Creation
The main purpose of this research was to investigate the reciprocal nature of trust in a service provider, established through consumer involvement in value co-creation. Grounded in service-dominant logic and social exchange theory, the study used an existing consumer-generated co-creation contest by a popular U.S.-based coffee-shop brand. When examining customer involvement with value co-creation (N = 510), the covariance-based structural equati…

Nature-Based Tourism: Motivation and Subjective Well-Being
The purpose of this study is to understand hiking-tourist behavior by exploring tourist motivation, personal values, subjective well-being, and revisit intention. The study demonstrates the theoretical and empirical evidence of the relationships among the four constructs. Using a sample drawn from tourists in South Korea, an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is carried out. As a result, “enjoying the natural environment and escaping from daily li…
