Implementing entrance fees is considered by park management, but there is controversy surrounding the potential impacts on visitation and revenue. Drawing insights from the zero-price effect and the transactional utility theory, this study conducted two separate written vignette experiments targeting different populations to examine the effects of entrance fees on national park visitors’ experiences and behavioural intentions. Participants in each experiment were randomised to one of the three entrance fee conditions. They then read a written vignette describing a visit to a national park and completed a series of survey questions regarding their park experience and behavioural intentions. A total of 272 and 279 responses was gathered in each experiment, respectively. The results revealed that entrance fees do not influence satisfaction. However, the effects of entrance fees on perceived price value and behavioural intentions were found to be mixed. Theoretical and practical implications were discussed.KEYWORDS: Pricingentrance feezero-price effecttransactional utilitywritten vignette experimentnational parks Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 We performed the same series of two-way ANOVA with Study 2 sample, and no significant effect was found across the three ANOVA models.

The paper problematizes current practices of tourism research, and focuses on the vulnerability of tourism scholarship; postdiciplinarity in tourism studies; onto-ethico-epistemological enrichments for the field and futuring as worldmaking in the search of new viabilities. As a result, the meaning and placement of the field’s vulnerability is overturned and new viabilities for a ‘more-than-tourism’ field of tourism studies are proposed.","PeriodicalId":47549,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Recreation Research","volume":"18 1","pages":"616 - 626"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77617667","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}
