Motivations and Use Context in Mobile Tourism Shopping: Applying Contingency and Task–Technology Fit Theories

Mobile tourism shopping is an emerging market, but there is little theoretically based research on the topic. This study investigates the impact of motivations (value, enjoyment, time saving and mobility) on consumer satisfaction by applying contingency and task–technology fit theories in the mobile tourism shopping context. The results show that value and enjoyment have significant effects on satisfaction. Use context is found to have a full mediating role between time saving and satisfaction as well as between mobility and satisfaction. This study offers theoretical and practical contributions to the tourism literature and mobile tourism industry. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

An Empirical Analysis of Synthesizing the Effects of Festival Quality,Emotion, Festival Image and Festival Satisfaction on Festival Loyalty: A Case Study of Macau Food Festival

This study aims to examine the interrelationships among the festival quality dimensions, festival quality, emotion, festival image, festival satisfaction and festival loyalty. Analysis of data from 454 attendees in the 12^th Macau Food Festival indicates that the proposed model fits the data. The result of this study will assist festival management in developing and implementing market‐orientated service strategies to increase quality and image, and enhance the emotion and satisfaction of attendees in order to attain their loyalty toward food festivals.

Celebrity Attachment and Behavioral Intentions: The Mediating Role of Place Attachment

Film‐induced tourism has recently gained increased attention in academic research. Although previous literature has identified the existence of consumer–celebrity attachment, scant empirical studies have examined whether celebrity attachment influences behavioral intentions in a film tourism context. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between celebrity attachment and behavioral intentions as well as to clarify the role of place attachment. Survey data from 312 tourists in Taiwan indicate that celebrity attachment is positively related to behavioral intentions. Moreover, place attachment partially mediates the relationship between celebrity attachment and behavioral intentions. Implications of these findings for managing marketing strategies as well as future research directions are subsequently discussed. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A Market and Spatial Perspective of Health Tourism Destinations: The Hungarian Experience

Since health tourism is one of the most popular and most dynamically developing products of modern tourism, this paper aims at studying the characteristic features of health tourism destinations from a regional and spatial perspective. Accordingly, the authors would like to introduce a new approach of spatial and product analysis of tourism where the market and spatial relations and relevance of health tourism were analysed through the example of Hungary. Although the classic medical tourism centres were established on natural medical water basis, by today, due to product diversification, continuous innovation and the involvement of medical services into health tourism, the geographical embeddedness seems to disappear, thus basically restructuring the market. The methodological novelty of the research is that exceeding the classic supply–demand algorithm, we compiled a complex viewpoint system adequate to the specialities of the given product characteristics. In our study, the authors intend to survey the special characteristics of health tourism focusing on medical destinations through Hungarian examples since the country's leading position in the global market is well recognized, including medical services.

农业清洁生产的经济学分析

无论从对自然环境的破坏程度还是污染程度来讲,农业都不亚于工业,在一些方面甚至超过工业,因此,治理农业污染,推行清洁生产,不仅是必要的,而且势在必行。在农业清洁生产过程中存在不完全信息的情况,这使生产者和消费者产生逆向选择,最终影响到农业清洁生产的发展。文章试图用信息经济学的理论分析农业清洁生产中的不完全信息问题,并提出了解决的建议。     

高技术产品、出口贸易和经济增长：来自吉林省域经济的经验证据

依据1978~2009年吉林省出口贸易和经济增长数据,考察吉林省出口贸易发展基本趋势并对比评价吉林省出口贸易省域竞争力。回归分析评价吉林省高技术产品出口与出口贸易关联性,发现高新技术产品对出口贸易增长作用明显。利用HP滤波分解出吉林省出口贸易和经济增长三类成分的作用关系检验,结果发现,滞后期的出口贸易与国内生产总值的三类成分Granger因果关系显著,表明出口贸易可以通过经济体内要素耦合作用而作用于经济增长。而同期仅水平序列的出口贸易与国内生产总值有明显的相关性,表明出口贸易对经济增长拉动作用明显但二者同步性有限。     

基于人类学视角对“旅游体验”的新思考

“体验经济”概念提出后,很快成为全球热点。受其影响,我国旅游学术界和业界也开始了对“旅游体验”的关注。但由于长期受“经济产业”思路的局限,我国的“旅游体验”研究还缺乏系统性和较深层次的思考。旅游作为人类社会的一种精神文化活动,从本质上决定了文化因素是“旅游体验”成败的关键,而文化往往是通过一些符号或物质载体体现出来的,这就涉及到“真实性”的问题。因此。“旅游体验”问题还应结合人类学相关理论从“文化真实”及“主客关系”等方面进行深入分析。“旅游体验”的研究还需把握真实性、社区参与及文化涵化三个重要概念。同时,旅游体验的“虚拟真实性”应作为一个全新的概念被提出和界定。

广深客运专线动车组能耗计算与分析

通过对动车组能耗的各种影响因素的分析,按照动车组运行过程的起停、运行、调速制动、出入库等环节,针对每一环节分别研究其能耗计算方法,考虑坡道附加能耗和空调能耗,分别建立数学模型、确定修正系数。研究提供的动车组能耗计算方法可以进行能耗计算与预测,以及对能耗影响因素进行分析。以广深客运专线为例,动车组能耗计算结果与实际能耗的拟合性好,可以为合理确定既有线和客运专线动车组能耗水平提供帮助。
