Using partial least-squares-structural equation modeling on data from 351 individual farmers and 66 farmer groups, the study evaluates how attitude, support, and perceived barriers affect intentions. Results indicate that barriers significantly deter agritourism adoption, as human resource and organizational constraints compromise venture establishment. Moreover, farmer type moderated the attitude-intention link; groups were more prepared due to shared resources and robust community ties. Findings underscore the critical role of entrepreneurial skills, institutional support, social networks, and collective action, urging policy-makers and stakeholders to reframe institutional strategies for agritourism growth.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51375,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Tourism Research","volume":"27 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144190930","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}

The findings reveal that under low limited-quantity conditions, a streamer's creative description significantly enhances consumers' anticipated elation, thereby effectively promoting immediate buying behavior. Conversely, when limited-quantity is high, creative descriptions may trigger psychological reactance, making creative descriptions more ineffective in driving immediate buying behavior. Moreover, this study shows that consumer skepticism moderates these effects by weakening the positive influence of anticipated elation and intensifying the negative impact of psychological reactance.
