ABSTRACT The study uses a multi-theoretical approach and the three behavioural theories of Behavioural Reasoning Theory (BRT), Self-Determination Theory (SDT), and Innovation Resistance Theory (IRT) to analyze the motivation of senior citizens to use Virtual Reality (VR) technology for religious tourism. The survey was completed by 300 senior citizens, and PLS-SEM was used to evaluate the results. The study examined the moderating influence of place familiarity on senior citizens intentions to use VR technology. The findings show that the attitude and intention to adopt VR technology are influenced by perceived ease of use, perceived enjoyment, perceived usefulness, and immersion. Also, tradition and image barriers play an influencing role in forming a negative attitude toward adopting VR technology for religious tourism.

Tourism researchers and practitioners have an interest in understanding tourists ’ travel patterns, and one of the most used models applied to reach this goal is the seminal Travel Career Pattern (TCP) model. However, repeat tourism is underexplored and in the present research, the authors provide an initial investigation of repeat tourists using the TCP model. Based on survey data from 500 international tourists in India the present research found that the TCP model is valuable for exploring repeat tourists ’ travel patterns and motives. Within the TCP model results show that middle level motives were found to be most important for tourists with more diverse travel experience which include nature, self-development and self-actualisation. Signi fi cant relationships were also found among the origin of tourists, their travel experiences and their motivational pattern.

ABSTRACTThe budget reduction to public lands in the U.S. press parks to generate own revenues. Implementing entrance fees is considered by park management, but there is controversy surrounding the potential impacts on visitation and revenue. Drawing insights from the zero-price effect and the transactional utility theory, this study conducted two separate written vignette experiments targeting different populations to examine the effects of entrance fees on national park visitors’ experiences and behavioural intentions. Participants in each experiment were randomised to one of the three entrance fee conditions. They then read a written vignette describing a visit to a national park and completed a series of survey questions regarding their park experience and behavioural intentions. A total of 272 and 279 responses was gathered in each experiment, respectively. The results revealed that entrance fees do not influence satisfaction. However, the effects of entrance fees on perceived price value and behavioural intentions were found to be mixed. Theoretical and practical implications were discussed.KEYWORDS: Pricingentrance feezero-price effecttransactional utilitywritten vignette experimentnational parks Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 We performed the same series of two-way ANOVA with Study 2 sample, and no significant effect was found across the three ANOVA models.
