The sources of information of the genealogical tourist: the influence of social networks and genealogical associations

“…Within this non-parametric statistic, it was decided to apply the Mann-Whitney test ( McKnight and Najab 2010 ) was used to assess differences in the distributions of quantitative variables (age, money spent on travel and satisfaction with the help provided according to the source of information) with respect to the dependent variable (type of tourism: genealogical/other). This test has precedents in the heritage tourism field to analyse significant differences in a sample on the perception of historical heritage and cultural interest ( Pérez-Gálvez et al., 2019 ) or on the motivational dimensions for visiting a heritage tourism city ( López-Guzmán et al., 2019 ). Besides, the Pearson Chi-Square test was used to compare the distribution of two categorical variables ( McHugh, 2013 ), used in the field of tourism to measure issues such as business pay differences between sexes ( Handaragama and Kusakeb, 2021 ), or in the field of financial investments to measure the relationship between demographic characteristics and decision-making ( Lan et al., 2018 ), has been used to assess differences in the distributions between qualitative variables (sex, marital status, and employment status) and the dependent variable (type of tourism: genealogical/other).…”
