自我概念对乡村旅游意愿影响的实证研究--旅游动机的中介作用

为了满足多样化、个性化的旅游需求,从心理因素探讨游客乡村旅游动机和旅游意愿显得尤为重要。文章基于问卷数据,利用SPSS和SmartPls软件进行数据处理和分析,探讨了自我概念、旅游动机及乡村旅游意愿三者的关系。结果表明:不同的自我概念对旅游动机的影响存在差异;消遣动机、实践动机和逃离动机对乡村旅游意愿有显著正向影响,而文化动机对乡村旅游意愿影响并不显著;除发展自我外,乡村旅游动机在自我概念其他三维度与旅游意愿之间具有中介作用,为乡村旅游产品或服务的开发与提供给出建议。     

SARS后关于中国旅游发展的冷静思考

SARS作为一种突发性自然灾害,对中国旅游业产生了重大的影响,认真而冷静地思考这一影响及其给我们的启示是非常必要的.SARS疫情发生之后,人们更加关注旅游业,因为中国的旅游业已经成为重要的产业,旅游活动与百姓生活休戚相关.在旅游业的发展过程中,不能试图回避危机,要准备与危机长期"共舞".SARS过后的旅游业不应当是简单的数量上的恢复,要提倡发展"洁净旅游",追求质量的提升.从中国目前实际出发,要适当调整出境旅游发展的政策.

Towards Authenticity: A Sartrean Perspective on Business Ethics

Taking a Sartrean existentialist viewpoint towards business ethics, in particular, concerning the question of the nature of businesspersons’ moral character, provides for a dramatically distinct set of reflections from those afforded by the received view on character, namely that of Aristotelian-based virtue ethics. Insofar as Sartre’s philosophy places human freedom at center stage, I argue that the authenticity with which a businessperson approaches moral situations depends on the degree of consciousness he or she has of the various choices at stake. Finally, I consider some practical changes in business ethics education, managerial decision-making, and business organizations that Sartrean reflections might prompt.     

Information technology and consumer behavior in travel and tourism: Insights from travel planning using the internet

Sustaining business success hinges upon a firm׳s ability to understand and capitalize on consumer behavior trends. Synthesizing information from a variety of sources, this paper discusses the nature of use of the Internet by American travelers. In general, the adoption of the Internet has reached a level of saturation and some traditional channels such as online travel agencies (OTAs) continue to dominate travel planning. While traditional means of Internet use for travel planning appears to be widespread across all customer segments, higher-order Internet uses (i.e., social media) are now prevalent among some segments, particularly among travelers of Generation Y. Also, there seems to be an important bifurcation in the traveler population in that the traditional online consumers remain unchanged with their pattern of use of online tools while sizable groups are adopting emergent information sources and transaction channels. This article details the particulars of these trends and offers managerial implications and future research directions.     

Measuring consumer-based brand authenticity

Postmodern consumers use brands to create an authentic self and to reconnect to place, time, culture and others. Although previous research has identified that consumers draw on a range of cues in order to attribute authenticity to branded objects, no scales exist to measure the construct of brand authenticity. Building on the existing literature, this paper uses quantitative methods to develop a psychometrically robust measure of brand authenticity from a consumer's perspective. Findings demonstrate convergent, discriminant and predictive validity, whereby 14 items represent three interrelated first order factors labeled quality commitment, sincerity and heritage that correspond with a higher order brand authenticity construct. This study extends our understanding of the consumption of authenticity. Moreover, it provides a tool by which firms can evaluate the effectiveness of strategic decisions designed to deliver an authentic brand offering to consumers. Limitations and directions for future research are discussed.

Feeling disconnected from others: The effects of ambient darkness on hedonic choice

This research documents a novel effect of ambient lighting on consumer choice. We propose and find that ambient darkness (vs. brightness) can result in consumers feeling disconnected from others. As a result, consumers become more authentic in their choices and they choose hedonic over utilitarian options because these choices reflect what they truly want (Study 1). Past research had suggested darkness increases hedonic choice by making choice less observable, but we find this effect emerges even when the choice is already anonymous and darkness cannot further increase anonymity. Rather, feeling disconnected from others and less weight to social norms heightened self-authenticity in darker (vs. brighter) surroundings (Study 2). When consumers are reminded of social connection, this difference is attenuated (Study 3). Thus, consumers making hedonic choices regulate their choices when reminded of their social connections. Implications of these findings and possible extensions are discussed.     

The traditional marketplace: serious leisure and recommending authentic travel

ABSTRACT

Services reliant on revenue generated from tourism are often beholden to how authentic visitors perceive their offering to be. From a managerial perspective, this is exacerbated when they serve a dual-purpose, as both actively ingrained in local culture and showcased international tourist attractions. As such, this study contributes to Kolar and ?abkar’s (2010) consumer-based model of authenticity by assessing the relationships between serious leisure, object-based and existential authenticity, and visitor word-of-mouth (WOM) recommendations in Iranian cultural tourism. Utilising partial least-squares structural equation modelling, and drawing upon responses from 615 visitors to the Tabriz Grand Bazaar, it thus extends the model’s applicability to the developing Middle Eastern context. The results extend extant research by emphasising the importance of object-based authenticity, as opposed to existential authenticity, in stimulating positive visitor WOM recommendations. Consequently, this study advances the prevailing understanding of the role of authenticity in stimulating positive behavioural intentions by highlighting how destinations can stimulate visitor recommendations.     

A Review and Evaluation of 2002 State Visitors' Travel Packets: A Fifty State Study

ABSTRACT

Official state visitors' travel packets were collected and analyzed in terms of strategic contributions to marketing communications goals. It was recognized that some states capitalized on the opportunity to obtain useful information and/or to make a favorable first impression during the potential tourist's inquiry phone call, although most did not. The majority of the distributed state visitors' packets were lackluster and collectively homogeneous. Slogans were found to be an underutilized tactic. The sponsorship of back covers was addressed. Noting the importance of the visitors' travel packet in terms of accomplishing marketing communications objectives, a call for accountability from the states was stressed.

Do airport staff helpfulness and communication generate behavioral loyalty in transfer passengers? A conditional mediation analysis

The footloose nature of transfer passengers in the turbulent air transport market landscape has necessitated the need to assess service marketing constructs relevant for airport competitiveness. The current cross-sectional study examined (1) the influence of transfer passengers’ perceived airport staff helpfulness and communication (H&C) on their behavioral loyalty, (2) the mediating roles of passenger affective image and satisfaction, and (3) the interaction effects of passenger types (trip purpose & travel frequency) and airport in the direct and indirect airport staff H&C – behavioral loyalty relation. Post-hoc analysis of transfer passengers’ perceived airport staff H&C across airports and passenger types was performed. Data was collected from three international airports in China (N = 829). Findings revealed that perceived airport staff H&C has significant positive associations with the three behavioral loyalty variables, and indicated further that these associations are partly explainable via passengers’ affective image and satisfaction. Also, the perceived airport staff H&C’s direct and indirect relations with behavioral loyalty variables are sensitive to passenger types but not airports. Expectedly, the post-hoc analysis showed that transfer passengers’ perceived airport staff H&C is significantly different across passenger types but not airports. Theoretical and practical implications, limitations and directions for future studies have been discussed.     

Are Patients Traveling Further?

Managed care has been hypothesized to increase patient travel for health care services by steering patients to more distant providers. This raises access concerns. However, if the result is to expand the geographic extent of provider markets, this may ease antitrust concerns about mergers. This research compares travel distances for patients discharged from California hospitals in 1985 and 1991 controlling for payor, diagnosis, and local market conditions. Privately insured patients were more likely to be in managed care than Medicare patients during this period. We expect travel distances to increase for private patients relative to Medicare patients if managed is leading to greater travel. However, for a random sample of patients excluding births and neonatal discharges, we find no evidence relative travel increased. Nor do we find a systematic pattern of increase when we examine travel for specific diagnoses selected on the basis of the urgency and complexity of care.
