The Effect of Value Co-Creation on Behavioural Intention and Satisfaction with Tourism Resources in Lagos State, Nigeria

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the sociodemographic characteristics, travel characteristics and the effect of value co-creation on behavioural intention and satisfaction of visitors in Lagos state, Nigeria. Data was obtained by administering a questionnaire to 384 visitors; data was analysed and presented descriptively using tables and inferentially using Spearman correlation, logistic regression, T-test and ANOVA. Results revealed that there were more males and youthful visitors at the sites who were first-time visitors and who travelled primarily with their family. Furthermore, there were more active participants in site activities at the site and their involvement in value co-creation had an impact on their behavioural intention and satisfaction with tourism resources at the site. Value co-creation activities that would encourage visitors’ active participation at tourism destinations should be provided to improve visitors’ satisfaction, as visitors now tend to be part-producer in their experience rather than mere consumers.
