Abstract
This study analyses smart tourism technology adoption's role in influencing visiting destinations by providing unity to the technology acceptance model (TAM) mechanism and the model theory of planned behaviour (TPB), using 324 samples of tourists from Indonesia. This study uncovers eight dimensions of innovative tourism technology by applying exploratory factor analysis. A variance-based structural equation model is used to evaluate the model and test hypotheses. This study reveals that the integrated TAM and TPB model can better explain smart tourism technology adoption and visiting tourism destinations. The integrated model is suitable for adopting smart tourism technology, which is the basis for tourist behaviour in tourist destinations. From its finding, this study offers a foundation for formulating an implementation strategy for using appropriate smart tourism technology to attract tourists. By originality, this study describes empirical evidence to promote the values of the smart tourism technology dimensions in enhancing tourist intention to use smart tourism technology and visit tourism destinations.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Environmental Management and Tourism is an interdisciplinary research journal, aimed to publish articles and original research papers that should contribute to the development of both experimental and theoretical nature in the field of Environmental Management and Tourism Sciences. Journal will publish original research and seeks to cover a wide range of topics regarding environmental management and engineering, environmental management and health, environmental chemistry, environmental protection technologies (water, air, soil), pollution reduction at source and waste minimization, energy and environment, modeling, simulation and optimization for environmental protection; environmental biotechnology, environmental education and sustainable development, environmental strategies and policies, etc. This topic may include the fields indicated above, but are not limited to these. Authors are encouraged to submit high quality, original works that discuss the latest developments in environmental management research and application with the certain scope to share experiences and research findings and to stimulate more ideas and useful insights regarding current best-practices and future directions in Environmental Management.
