ABSTRACT Based on cognitive appraisal theory, this study examines the effects of visitors’ embodied cognition on exhibition images via the mediation of flow experience and the moderation of technical interactivity. Using a scenario-based experimental design, this research examined the direct effects of embodied cognition on exhibition images in Study 1, the mediating effects of flow experience in Study 2, and the moderating effects of technical interactivity in Study 3. The findings contribute to research on flow experiences in the exhibition industry, expand the breadth of the application of cognitive appraisal theory to digital exhibitions, and provide suggestions for organizing digital exhibitions.

ABSTRACT To comprehend the factors that motivate and inhibit seniors’ travel behaviour, and the influence of “conscious consumption” and “technology efficacy”, a research framework is developed based on the Motivation-Opportunity-Ability model (MOA). Data was collected from 374 senior travelers and was analysed using smart PLS. The findings revealed the impact of motivators and opportunity which was measured by constraints to travelling was found to be significant. Technology efficacy (ability) was found to moderate the relationship between intentions and actual travel behaviour. Conspicuous consumption moderated the relationship between social affiliation, arousal, and intentions. This research will help policymakers create tourism involvement initiatives.

ABSTRACT This study explores the dimensions of motivated consumer innovativeness (functional, social, hedonic, and cognitive) in the context of the travel and tourism industry and examines how they influence consumers’ attitude, trust and intention to use chatbot services. The results show that all dimensions of motivated consumer innovativeness positively impact attitude, while only functional and cognitive dimensions positively affect trust building, leading to consumers’ chatbot usage intentions. These findings provide insights into what motivates consumers traditionally comfortable with using human assistance to develop behavioral attitude and intention to use chatbots to make online tour and travel-related queries.

ABSTRACT With the COVID-19 pandemic-related travel restrictions, and staycations emerged as a popular alternative to holidays. This study investigated whether there are differential impacts on subjective well-being between staycations and holidays, and identified the factors that influence the acquisition of subjective well-being. The results showed no significant differences in subjective well-being between the two types of activities. Furthermore, the study identified distinct factors that influenced the subjective well-being of each group. These findings have important implications for promoting sustainable and local tourism, and in understanding the effects of spatial urban planning on well-being.

ABSTRACT This study employed the Technology Acceptance Model and the Technology Readiness Index to investigate consumers’ attitudes toward virtual tourism in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nine hypotheses were developed to examine the antecedents of virtual tourism and the moderating effects of previous destination visitation experiences. Our study identified perceived usefulness and innovativeness as the most potent predictors of attitudes towards virtual tourism. Furthermore, optimism, insecurity, and perceived ease-of-use were found to have varying effects on the attitudes towards virtual tourism among individuals with and without prior visitation experience. These findings present significant theoretical and practical implications.

ABSTRACT This study develops a theoretical framework that integrates spatial presence and social presence into the emotional pathways of goal-directed behavior and considers the moderating effects of optimism bias. The result of data analysis indicates that a) spatial presence and social presence are significant determinants of viewer field visit intention; b) positive emotions and travel desires play a mediating role in the relationship between presence and behavioral intention; c) optimism bias enhances the field visit intentions of viewers in a moderated manner. The research findings explain the virtual-to-reality conversion of tourism short videos and highlight implications for tourism marketing practices.

ABSTRACTWith the advancement of economic globalization and regional integration, regional tourism flows are more closely linked, which provides new clues for improving forecasting. This study develops a multivariate decomposition deep learning model to forecast tourism demand by capturing spatiotemporal interactions among regional tourism flows. The multivariate decomposition technique is introduced to reduce data complexity, while convolutional neural networks and long short-term memory networks are extracting spatial and temporal correlations of regional tourism flows. The effectiveness of the model is demonstrated in two heterogeneous international tourism cases of tourist arrivals from China or Japan to leading destinations in Southeast Asia.KEYWORDS: Regional tourism demand forecastinginternational tourist arrivalsspatiotemporal interactionsmultivariate decompositiondeep learningsoutheast Asia Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by China Scholarship Council: [Grant Number 202206280175, 202206280179]; National Key Research and Development Program of China: [Grant Number 2022YFF0903000]; National Natural Science Foundation of China: [Grant Number No. 72101197]; Natural Science Basic Research Program of Shaanxi Province: [Grant Number 2023-JC-QN-0785]; Science and Technology Project of China Huaneng: [Grant Number HNKJ20-H87]; National Natural Science Foundation of China: [Grant Number No. 71774130].

ABSTRACTBased on the first-hand survey data for 910 people without financial freedom in China during November 2019 and June 2020, this paper investigates the impact of conspicuous tourism consumption preference on individual’s tourism consumption borrowing intention as well as the effects of age empirically. The results indicate that the older the individual is, the weaker his/her conspicuous tourism consumption preference is. Conspicuous tourism consumption preference has a significant positive impact on tourism consumption borrowing intention. In terms of the male, age has negative effects in mediating conspicuous tourism consumption preference’s influence on tourism consumption borrowing intention. The above findings can deepen understanding of tourists’ behavior and its outcomes from the perspective of conspicuous consumption theoretically. In addition, they have practical significance and policy reference value for reducing personal and social finance/debt risk and related harm due to major macroeconomic fluctuations caused by the external shock such as the COVID-19 epidemic.KEYWORDS: Conspicuous consumptionconspicuous tourism consumption preferenceborrowing intentionpeople without financial freedomCOVID-19 epidemicdebt-tourism consumption Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 https://www.chinanews.com.cn/cj/2018/12-13/8701389.shtml.2 https://view.inews.qq.com/k/20200401A0UD6600?web_channel=wap&openApp=false.3 https://www.who.int/news/item/28-09-2022-who-and-ilo-call-for-new-measures-to-tackle-mental-health-issues-at-work.4 https://health.cnr.cn/jkzt/ysdjt/djtjdt/20220523/t20220523_525834686.shtml.5 https://m.gmw.cn/baijia/2021-03/08/34668238.html.6 https://www.hurun.cn/zh-CN/Info/Detail?num=COYHXH5D4FMJAdditional informationFundingThis work was supported by Shanghai Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau [grant number 2021129].

ABSTRACT This study explores the relationship between perceived authenticity of the tourism experience and destination image, satisfaction and loyalty, and the moderating effect of visitor expectation. Data from Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum in Xi'an, China, were analyzed via structural equation modeling. The results indicate that perceived authenticity has a direct and indirect positive impact on loyalty behaviors through destination image and satisfaction. Visitor expectation enhance the destination image and the relationship between satisfaction and loyalty behaviors. This suggests that the proposed theoretical framework predicts tourists' intentions for heritage tourism sites, offering valuable theoretical and practical implications for sustainable development.

ABSTRACTEvolutionary psychology offers new potential to understand the motivation of tourists visiting dark sites. This study first identified four fundamental motives (kin care, exploration, affiliation, and status) related to dark tourism contexts, and then examined their relationships with proximal motives and disaster perception. Results found that fundamental motives positively affected corresponding proximate motives and mediated the relationships between disaster perception and proximate motives, and gender and prior experience had moderating effects. This study contributes to better understanding the fundamental psychological mechanisms of tourists visiting dark sites and has some practical implications for these sites' marketing and management.KEYWORDS: Dark tourism sitetouristevolutionary psychologyfundamental motivesproximal motivesdisaster perception Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Author statementQijie Jiang: funding acquisition, data curation, formal analysis, investigation, software, and original draft.Scott McCabe: conceptualization, methodology, project administration, resources, supervision, review, and editing.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant “Research on the psychological mechanism of tourists in dark tourism from the perspective of evolution” [No. 72302157].
