How technology-enhanced experience affects festival host destination attitude and word-of-mouth? Evidence from Taiwan
This study explores the technology-enhanced tourist experience in a festival context to address destination attitude and word-of-mouth towards a destination. Drawing specifically from the cognitive -affective-behavioural framework, we propose and empirically examine a model that integrates perceived novelty, as the cognitive component. Joy, and positive surprise were treated as the affective antecedents of memorable tourism experience. Memorable …
Sri Kartarpur Sahib
Conflict between countries (in this study, India and Pakistan) occasionally leads to permanently closed borders that restrict trade, recreation, and pilgrimage across them. Despite their differences, India and Pakistan opened the Kartarpur corridor, creating an avenue for people-to-people contact between the two countries. A qualitative study was conducted to determine the underlying factors associated with the visit to Sri Kartarpur Sahib Gurudw…

Different types of restaurants have been targeted to understand consumer behaviour; however, the behavioural intention of visitors dining at the farm restaurants was rarely explored. Design/methodology/approach With the backdrop of the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), this study highlights t…

The impact of destination brand experience on arousal, memorable tourism experience, and revisit intention
This study explores the impact of destination brand experience and perceptions of safety on revisit intention, and the mediating effect of arousal and memorable tourism experience (MTE). A sample of 357 tourists participating in a Gyeongbok palace night tour in South Korea was surveyed. The findings of structural equation modeling revealed that affective experience dominated the relationships with arousal, followed by behavioral and sensory exper…
Examining behavioural intentions to visit travel bubble destinations during the Covid-19 pandemic
The behavioural intentions of individuals visiting travel bubble destinations are examined, integrating the protection motivation theory (PMT) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB). A sample of 323 was used to test the relationships among PMT and TPB. Results show that coping appraisal, as determined by response efficacy, self-efficacy, and quarantine measures, positively influenced protection motivation. Threat appraisal – including the sever…
Impacts of perception and perceived constraint on the travel decision-making process during the Hong Kong protests
This study explores the relationships of perception toward protests and perceived constraints with the theory of planned behaviour constructs in the context of the ongoing Hong Kong protests. The study samples are overseas Korean travellers who plan to visit Hong Kong. Results reveal that perception positively influences attitude and subjective norm. Perceived constraints have significant effects on attitude and behavioural intention not to trave…
Testing the influence of destination source credibility, destination image, and destination fascination on the decision‐making process
For small islands, tourism is generally considered the backbone of their economies. However, research on tourists' intention to visit small islands is limited. This study fills this gap by investigating the influences of destination source credibility, destination image and destination fascination and their relationships with theory of planned behaviour (TPB) constructs. Results reveal that destination fascination has significant influence on att…
