Abstract

Dark tourism is roughly understood as travelling to places historically associated with death and tragedy. However, the determinants of such a specific type of tourism are not well explored. Therefore, this research aims to determine the possible relation between the intention variables, particularly perceived risk and the values of sensation-seeking and hedonism. For this purpose, an online questionnaire of eight subscales was applied to 821 participants, with ages corresponding to generations Y and Z. The results of a structural equation modelling revealed the existence of seven latent variables whose goodness-of-fit suggests that dark tourism is mainly related to the intention to visit and search for information on the Internet. This study is novel compared to previous research in that it suggests that the destination does not have a direct relation to the intention to share information on social media.
购买意愿和社交媒体在黑暗旅游中的作用
黑暗旅游大致被理解为前往历史上与死亡和悲剧有关的地方。然而,这种特定类型的旅游业的决定因素并没有得到很好的探讨。因此,本研究旨在确定意图变量,特别是感知风险与感觉寻求和享乐主义价值观之间的可能关系。为此,对821名参与者进行了一项包含8个分量表的在线问卷调查,其年龄对应于Y和Z世代。结构方程建模的结果显示,存在7个潜在变量,其拟合优度表明,黑暗旅游主要与访问和在互联网上搜索信息的意愿有关。与之前的研究相比,这项研究是新颖的,因为它表明目的地与在社交媒体上分享信息的意图没有直接关系。
