The publication's main research questions are: to what extent are customers satisfied with the speed of food delivery and the temperature of the delivered meals? The empirical research also analyses whether the speed of delivery influences the customers' attitudes towards their connection with the catering establishments. The survey was carried out between April 10, 2022, and June 30, 2022. The sample is non-representative (N=452), with respondents being selected arbitrarily in Győr-Moson-Sopron County. Data were processed using the IBM SPSS 25.0 statistical software package. During the primary research the authors examined the current food ordering habits of the participants using statistical (descriptive, correlational) analyses. The aim of this study is to identify and evaluate the key factors that influence customer satisfaction and decision-making in the food delivery industry, providing actionable insights for service providers. The topic of the present study is the examination of the customer satisfaction and decision-making of the Hungarian population focusing on the food delivery industry. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to establish a theoretical framework and formulate hypotheses. A survey-based methodology was employed to collect data from consumers and the collected data were analysed using statistical techniques to test the formulated hypotheses and determine the relationships between the identified factors and customer satisfaction. Results and discussions: presentation and analysis of the obtained results. The study concludes that delivery speed, food temperature, price-value ratio, quality, variety and online presence are crucial factors in the customer satisfaction and decision-making in the food delivery industry. Addressing these aspects can help service providers enhance their competitiveness and improve the overall customer experience.","PeriodicalId":38173,"journal":{"name":"Geojournal of Tourism and Geosites","volume":"81 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139145883","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}

For guests, food has a big impact on satisfaction and so does breakfast. The objective of this work is to know what the preferences of guests in a hotel breakfast are and how this varies according to their characteristics. An online questionnaire was sent using social media to hotel guests (n=626). Most respondents live in Europe (62%) and they prefer fruit juices (37%) and pastries (37%) while non-European residents suggested fruits (58%) and dairy products (39%) as the main preferences. Respondents aged over 55 years old have also preferences for fruits and dairy products, whereas guests aged 18-34 prefer pastries. For families traveling with children, bread was preferred for breakfast. Moreover, guests between the ages of 18 and 34 prefer lactose-free foods; and vegans or vegetarians or guests between the ages of 35 and 54 prefer gluten-free foods; whereas those 35 or younger prefer sugar foods. Most women prefer lactose-free food and non-Europeans give more importance to low-carbohydrate food while Europeans prefer lactose-free food and vegetarians or vegans. Breakfast is a meal valued by guests. Knowing the preferences of the guests following the profile of each one will be an asset for hotel projects that can satisfy and retain their customers. As far as we are aware, this is the first assessment of travellers about their preferences in hotels breakfast.","PeriodicalId":38173,"journal":{"name":"Geojournal of Tourism and Geosites","volume":"137 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139146346","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 empirical results indicate that a 1% increase in inbound tourism demand causes the level of greenhouse gas emissions to increase by 0.52% in the long-run, but inbound tourism demand has no short-run effect on greenhouse gas emissions. On the other hand, ICT only has a short-run effect on greenhouse gas emissions.

Rather than selecting volunteers at random, the researchers took into account the entire community of Aqaba tourists. About 237 of the 500 surveys returned were usable for statistical purposes. In order to categorize the responses, a seven-point Likert scale was used. We use of Smart PLS 4 forms the basis of the analytical framework. There is strong statistical support for the findings of the study. Satisfaction (SA) is heavily influenced by the elements of Availability of Activities (AA), Intends to Participate (IP), and Reason for Visiting (RV). The T value for AA is 4.128 (p 0.001), which indicates statistical significance. IP also has a high T value (7.505, p 0.001), indicating a significant impact. The T value of 4.502 for RV (p 0.001) further demonstrates its statistically significant influence. Add the moderating variable TV to the research design to see how it affects the results. With a T-value of 1.971 (p = 0.049), we see that there is an interaction effect between (AA) and (SA), with (TV) serving as a moderator. The moderate influence of (IP) on (SA) results in a T value of 0.822 (p = 0.411), which is not statistically significant. However, the T value of 4.144 (p 0.001) demonstrates the significance of the interaction between RV and SA, indicating that TV has a moderating effect on the relationship between the two variables.","PeriodicalId":38173,"journal":{"name":"Geojournal of Tourism and Geosites","volume":"98 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139146281","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}
