Thus Airbnb is an alternative and creative accommodation option. The study aimed to evaluate visitors’ motivations for staying in Airbnb accommodations, focusing on; visitors’ push and pull factor motivation and exploring the relationship between push and pull factors. A quantitative approach was used, with a developed online survey platform known as all counted, and 205 respondents participated in this study. Hypotheses were formulated, with exploratory factors analysis to show a significant relationship between push and pull factor motivation. The study found various push and pull motivation items, with pull motivation items further divided into two variables: personal and distinctive pull factors. The results further revealed that more focus is required on pull factors rather than push factors. There is statistical evidence that all tourists that visit Hartbeespoort or stay in Airbnb accommodations strongly show pull factors more than push factors. However, hypotheses reveal no distinct difference for females as push and pull factors are the same. Therefore, the study suggests that Airbnb hosts and relevant stakeholders should be able to understand visitors’ decision-making processes better. This study reveals the push and pull factors that motivate visitors to stay at Airbnb and explores the relationship between push and pull factors as valuable tools in delivering a competitive advantage for Airbnb, deploying different marketing strategies, and motivating and delivering services to visitors.","PeriodicalId":143644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Sciences in Travel and Hospitality","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121496227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The population of this study is guests who stay at The ONE Legian. Data collection techniques in this study were through observation and questionnaires, where data collection was carried out by field observations, and questionnaires with fifty-five respondents. The analysis used in this study is multiple linear regression quantitative analysis using the SPSS 25 program. The results of this study indicate a positive and partially significant effect of green practices on green consumer behavior and a simultaneous positive effect of green practice variables on green consumer behavior variables. The results of the coefficient of determination test indicate that the variation of the independent variable is only able to explain fifty-three point four percent of the dependent variable, the remaining forty-six point six is influenced by other factors outside of this study. Before the researcher conducted the research, it was found that there were problems that occurred in the food & beverage department, such as when taking food at a restaurant, many guests asked for plastic bags to wrap the food they brought. And some guests complained to the staff because plastic bags were not provided. In addition, researchers saw several guests smoking carelessly in the restaurant area which caused air pollution. This shows that there are so many guests who did not understand the implementation of green practice implemented by The ONE Legian. After implementing the green practice in the hotel, the researcher did the second observation, the results showed that there was a changed habit in guests who stayed a few days at The ONE Legian, namely guests who already know the implementation of green practice is now smoking in the smoking area that has been provided. The researcher suggests that the implementation of green donation in the food & beverage department is more published to guests or consumers. So that guests or consumers can participate and feel the green donation activity. This activity can be a motivation and example for other hotels to participate in efforts to protect the environment, both hotels around Legian and Kuta.","PeriodicalId":143644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Sciences in Travel and Hospitality","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123378043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
