Cocriação de Valor no Turismo

Abstract

This study aimed to validate for the Brazilian context a value co-creation scale directed towards tourism (Busser & Shulga, 2018) and also to measure its effects in relation to the intention of word-of-mouth recommendation. The methodological procedures adopted included translation of the original scale, face validation, adaptations to the research object and data analysis through structural equation modeling (SEM). The sample comprised 210 tourists who have experienced tourism experiences in the last 02 years. The data collection instrument was made using the Google Forms platform and submitted to respondents in the second half of 2018. Among the results: a) All 5 dimensions of the original scale were supported in this research (significance, collaboration, contribution, recognition and affective response) and b) the scale presented an R² of 0.614, explaining 61% of the intention of mouth-to-mouth recommendation.
