I like you or I like what you say? Effect of influencer on tourist behaviour

This work analyses the effect of influencers on tourists’ behavioural intentions, considering both how tourists process persuasive information and the relationship between the vlogger and receiver. Three theories are applied: the Information Adoption Model, social identity theory and parasocial interaction theory. An empirical study was conducted based on an online survey of 412 subjects. The results confirmed that tourists’ future behaviours towards a destination are determined by their attitudes towards the vlogger’s messages, which depend on the perceived usefulness of the message which, in turn, is based on its argumentative quality and the vlogger’s credibility.

This study examines the direct effect of outcome message frames (gain vs loss) on cause involvement and the moderating roles of consumers’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) scepticism and biospheric values. Furthermore, the authors analyse (1) the effects of gain-framed messages on consumer attitudes towards an environmental cause (i.e. the use of reusable coffee cups) and towards the company promoting the cause (a coffee shop chain); (2) how consumer attitudes towards the cause affect their attitudes towards the company; and (3) how consumer attitudes towards both the cause and the company affect their behavioural intentions towards both the cause and the company.
Social media communication and destination brand equity

This paper aims to further the knowledge of what effect destination and tourist social media communications have on destination brand equity. The authors performed a quantitative study with 433 international tourists and social media users using an online survey and structural equation modeling. The results show that user-generated content (UGC) and destination-generated content (DGC) both positively affect tourist behavior through the mediating role of destination brand equity. Of the two, UGC is more important for building a positive destination image and more valuable for improving perceived destination quality and value. The results also show that affective image is a powerful predictor of tourist behavior.

This research has three objectives: to identify whether there are motivational differences between attending live and online music festivals, to know whether these motivations vary according to the sociodemographic characteristics of the attendees, and to analyse the perceived value-satisfaction-behavioural intention chain for both types of festivals.
