To address this issue, this research proposes a cue identification procedure that integrates an objective identifying instrument (heart rate) and a close-looped identifying logic. This logic is designed to establish both sufficient and necessary conditions for reliable detection of marketing cues. Specifically, Study 1a (initially screening cues in field setting) and Study 1b (refined in laboratory setting) jointly screened 12 marketing cues based on the necessary condition between cues’ attractiveness and heart rate responses. Study 2a (a questionnaire survey) and Study 2b (a marketing practice in Tik Tok) verified the attractiveness of these cues, finding that those identified through heart rate responses were more attractive both in-sample and out-of-sample. This step establishes sufficient evidence. This study contributes theoretical and methodological insights to tackle the issue of efficiently identifying attractive marketing cues and its implications for destination marketing.","PeriodicalId":48469,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Management","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142821073","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}

Drawing on three experimental studies with employees in the hotel industry, we provide insights into how they process and respond to different forms of TI requests. Study 1 shows that employees are less likely to accept the TI's request for collaboration when this request is framed as a threat (vs. an opportunity) but are more likely to experience a negative emotional state from dealing with this request. Study 2 replicates these effects in a high-knowledge decision-making context. Study 3 shows that TIs' perceived power impacts employees' willingness to accept the TI's request for collaboration and moderates how employees experience different request framings in their affective evaluations. Our findings contribute to the developing TI literature and provide insights on how TIs should adapt their communication style to initiate partnerships with hotels.","PeriodicalId":48469,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Management","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142821072","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}

The present study approaches this challenge by examining the effect of the degree of congruence (high vs. low) between the messages conveyed via different social media sources (DMOs vs. eWOM) on users. In a within-subject experiment using eye-tracking combined with fMRI, this effect is measured in terms of ocular indicators, brain activity, and behavioral responses, in the context of different destination positioning strategies (natural environment vs. gastronomy). The findings indicate that DMOs should ensure that the IMC strategies they implement take into account the customer's perspective on their communications (including the influence of eWOM). DMOs should also focus their marketing and positioning efforts on emphasizing the unique appeal of the natural environment of the destination, to create a positive perception.","PeriodicalId":48469,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Management","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142821074","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}
