However, existing research has paid less attention to how the use of emojis in travel experience sharing affects the decision-making of potential travelers, especially based on the premise of emoji-text combination. Based on this research gap, we explore the matching effect between emojis and travel experience sharing. We found that (1) in desirability (feasibility) sharing, the use of emotional (semantic) emojis increased the perceived usefulness of travel posts more, with emotional arousal (processing fluency) playing a mediating role; (2) emoji replications had a significant moderating effect; and (3) in desirability-emotional emoji matching, with the increase in the number of replications, the perceived usefulness increased in an inverted U shape. This study enriches the literature on emoji and travel experience sharing, and is of great significance for platforms and destinations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48452,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Tourism Research","volume":"107 ","pages":"Article 103798"},"PeriodicalIF":13.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141303540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We found that uncertainty tends to increase prices as destinations pass uncertainty to consumers. However, in order to minimize the negative effect of higher prices in their bookings, destinations tend to intensify their promotion efforts. Altogether, uncertainty typically affects more consumers than destinations, which in most cases see their profits increase because of the increase in prices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48452,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Tourism Research","volume":"107 ","pages":"Article 103795"},"PeriodicalIF":13.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160738324000720/pdfft?md5=cb0102ee8347340ecb74f95284649312&pid=1-s2.0-S0160738324000720-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141264258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
