Findings of the study indicated that authenticity and sensorial components of virtual trips positively influenced travelers’ immersion and generated nostalgia, thereby increasing their revisit intention and intention to visit a similar destination. The moderating effects of travel personality between travelers’ nostalgia and behavioral intentions were found. This study provides insights on how to utilize virtual trips as a marketing tool.","PeriodicalId":48309,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Travel & Tourism Marketing","volume":"39 1","pages":"1 - 17"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47121469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Researchers often consider tourists’ personal decisions in choosing tourism products. However, consumers do not always purchase such products solely for themselves; they occasionally decide for others as well. Yet little is known about the differences. Through behavioral experiments and eye-tracking technology, this study examines differences between self- and other-decisions in adventure tourism. Results show that participants tended to seek adventure in self-decisions and exhibited risk aversion in other-decisions. Overall, findings offer a theoretical basis and inspiration for the development and sale of adventure tourism products, tourism safety-related features, and other promotional attributes.","PeriodicalId":48309,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Travel & Tourism Marketing","volume":"39 1","pages":"31 - 41"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42672318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Shared touristic belief, shared touristic behavior, and propensity to interact deviated in their influences on communality and fairness that constitute tourist-to-tourist emotional solidarity. Communality and fairness also showed different impacts on travel intention. Shared religious belief and shared religious behavior did not translate into communality or fairness, but they still predicted travel intention on their own.","PeriodicalId":48309,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Travel & Tourism Marketing","volume":"39 1","pages":"42 - 57"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47104127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Secondary evidence suggests a revenge travel phenomenon. This study theorizes and empirically demonstrates that nostalgia helps consumers cope with pandemic distress and cultivates the desire for leisure travel. Drawing on the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) framework, consumer perceived severity of COVID-19 (stimulus) triggers nostalgia (organism), which increases the desire for leisure travel (response). The effect of nostalgia on desire to travel is robust when manipulated via a marketing communication (ad-hoc experiment). This study further explains travel pursuit heterogeneity with the interaction of a consumer’s approach-avoidance motivation system and traveler personality.","PeriodicalId":48309,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Travel & Tourism Marketing","volume":"38 1","pages":"935 - 955"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2021-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48715953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
