What encourages pro-environmental behavior by tourists? Insights from the protection motivation theory
Understanding tourist information search behaviour
Numerous tourism researchers have studied the information search behaviour of tourists. However, a dearth of scholarship has been devoted to examining tourists’ information search behaviour from a network perspective. This study investigates the significant associations between the networks of contingency factors (i.e. purpose of trip, composition of travel party, and number of visit) and search outcomes (i.e. length of stay and number of attract…
Applying protection motivation theory to understand international tourists’ behavioural intentions under the threat of air pollution
Air pollution represents a major concern for the tourism industry worldwide; however, few studies have investigated the influence of smog pollution on international tourists’ behavioural intentions. Protection motivation theory was taken as the theoretical foundation of this study, and ‘perceived government support’ was integrated as a new construct into the research model. Using data collected from international tourists visiting Beijing, China,…
Determinants of the intention to recommend overseas migration to a city
Due to the decreasing population growth rate, some cities have struggled to increase their populations, and attracting foreigners as residents may be considered an alternative solution to this problem. The present study aims to investigate the relationships among the city image as a tourism city, place identity, quality of life domains, overall life satisfaction, and intention to recommend short- or long-term overseas migration to a city while co…
How do tourists search for tourism information via smartphone before and during their trip
This study examined tourists’ smartphone use patterns for tourism information searches. We explored associations between respondents’ demographic and socioeconomic characteristics and smartphone use for their most recent trip. Then, we compared differences in tourism information categories searched via smartphone before and during trips, respectively. Using data collected from tourists who visited coastal destinations in South Carolina, USA, a se…
The influence of leisure and travel experiences on the school enjoyment of adolescents
This research note examines the influence of experiential activities and family travel experiences on the school enjoyment of adolescents by applying a panel regression analysis. The authors used data from the Korean Children & Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS) for data analysis and performed a one-way fixed effect regression and a feasible generalized least square (FGLS) regression analyses. The findings reveal that 1) higher levels of satisfaction in …
Does taking vacations make people happy? A regional disparity perspective
This study examines happiness determinants from a regional disparity perspective. Data from a national leisure survey conducted in South Korea was used. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression was performed. Findings indicate that leisure satisfaction, vacationing, participation in club activities, participation in volunteer activities, gender, marital status, household income, and education level were significantly related to respondents’ happin…
Attitude toward luxury cruise, fantasy, and willingness to pay a price premium
This study applies the functional theory of attitudes in examining the structural relationships among the social-adjustive, value-expressive, hedonic, and utilitarian functions of attitudes, fantasy, and willingness to pay a premium. This study also identifies the moderating roles of sensory innovativeness and maximization in the relationships between the four functions of attitudes and fantasy. An online survey (N = 543) was conducted to collect…
