However, there is a dearth of research examining the impact of MR on visitors' perceptions of authenticity and behaviour, particularly in relation to the role of tour guides. This paper describes a field experiment designed to compare the effects of three distinct service categories (MR only, tour guide only, and mixed service) on the experiences and behaviours of museum visitors. Based on the primary results, visitors who received mixed service or only guide service had a higher perception of objective authenticity than those who received only MR service. This higher perception of authenticity enhanced visitors’ overall experience quality, values, attitudes, and behaviours. Moreover, visitors who received mixed services perceived existential authenticity at the highest level, resulting in a higher level of experience quality. Research sheds light on the dynamic interactions among MR, guided tours, authenticity, and visitor experiences in promoting cultural heritage artefacts.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48021,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Destination Marketing & Management","volume":"31 ","pages":"Article 100848"},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212571X23000872/pdfft?md5=0aec4ebf61c5cadbd9f28e35aed4fe30&pid=1-s2.0-S2212571X23000872-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138557504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To develop precise strategies for managing connectivity, it is crucial to examine stakeholders' networking behaviours – how they connect to a destination network and contribute to its structural formations within and beyond their sectors and geographic locations. This study looks at online networking forms that are qualitatively different from interpersonal contacts among organisational members. Specifically, it focuses on hyperlink networking, given its significance for the visibility of organisations and the overall destination and the credibility of tourism websites. Using social network analysis, this research identifies diverse online networking behaviours related to involvement in networking activities, link-placing and link-receiving, connections with similar and dissimilar actors, and community formation of tourism stakeholders across different sectors within a multi-destination region. The network is characterised by assembling behaviour, where many actors are connected to the network by other organisations rather than by their own linking activity. The study confirms organisations’ low involvement in networking and significant imbalances in their activities. It highlights how imbalances arise in the conjuncture of various sectors, each having a distinct role in uneven link allocation. Destination management organisations are key connectors and mediators but struggle to establish high-density within-sector connections. Public domain-related sectors are generally more active in networking than private ones. Intersectoral connections, rather than within-sector connections, are the major source of links for sectors. Stakeholders tend to connect more with actors from the same geographic area.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48021,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Destination Marketing & Management","volume":"31 ","pages":"Article 100844"},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212571X23000835/pdfft?md5=2eb12afadf6cacfdc25852b77658a843&pid=1-s2.0-S2212571X23000835-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138491978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When it comes to understanding the effectiveness of DMOs' integrated marketing communication (IMC) strategies, it is important to examine the extent to which the congruence between those online messages posted by the destination and those posted by other users (electronic word-of-mouth) influences the effectiveness of the communication. Similarly, it is also of value to understand the degree to which the use of emojis in social media messages may enhance the effect of congruence on IMC effectiveness. The scientific literature has found that tourists' responses to the information published online by the destination will depend on the type of positioning it adopts on its social media. The novelty of the present study work lies in addressing these issues from a neuroscientific perspective, using eye-tracking technology, to study (i) the user's cognitive effort (based on ocular indicators) when processing social media content and (ii) their affective evaluation of that content. A factorial experiment is conducted on a sample of 58 Facebook users. The results point to the important role played by the level of message congruence in users' information-processing and demonstrate the contextualizing effect exerted by emojis.
