Drawing upon the technology acceptance model (TAM), the study seeks to find out the context-specific considerations that exert a greater influence on the intention to visit destinations associated with the mobile game. Using a quantitative approach, data from 263 respondents were collected in Malaysia via an online survey. Partial least-squares structural equation modelling was used to perform latent variable analysis. The findings show the significant effects of perceived ease of play and motivation to play on attitude and intention towards visiting the game destination. In particular, motivation to play is found to exert a greater effect on visit intention. Contradictory results about perceived enjoyment and the importance of motivation are also highlighted. This study adds to the literature that calls for the expansion of the TAM to include context-specific considerations to articulate tourism gamification behaviour and the (un)intended effect on tourism visit intention. Specifically, the importance of context to TAM is unveiled through the motivation to play games related to tourism on a mobile phone. In contrast, this study points to the negligible influence of perceived enjoyment of games on intention to visit.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51375,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Tourism Research","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143111297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our findings, based on a negative binomial regression analysis, reveal also exacerbated socioeconomic segregation in recreational trips.

This study hypothesizes that the entire mobility chain, that is, long-distance travel and mobility at destination, represents an interconnected bundle of services. Using data from a Discrete Choice Experiment conducted with visitors to a tourist destination in Austrian Alps, we estimated the effects of attributes of long-distance travel by personal vehicle and rail (travel time, travel costs, number of transfers) and effects of attributes of local mobility services offered at the destination (transit frequency, carsharing, mobility hub).

Findings reveal social representations of transport challenges at both destinations, namely, “a car-dependent society”, a “non-desirable transport future” and “wicked transport problems”. Practitioners in these places address these challenges in several ways. Surprisingly, one solution is to promote flying to the destinations.
