“…This is possibly why there have been calls for more qualitative studies of involvement (e.g. Havitz and Dimanche 1999;Kyle and Chick 2002) to allow 17 for new dimensions of involvement to emerge, for example, Kyle and Chick (1992) who found that 'attraction, sign and centrality' (all components of the CIP profile either original or adapted as discussed earlier) had limited support in a study of campers returning year on year to an agricultural fair. They suggest that centrality in this context is divided into facets including: centrality to lifestyle and social context.…”

This may be due to the multi-dimensional nature of involvement and researchers trying to adapt scales to a breadth of products, services and leisure situations.…”

The involvement construct has been explored in relation to products, services and leisure but not in an art museum context. The purpose of this paper is to address this theoretical gap by drawing on the marketing and leisure literature to understand members' consumption of Tate using the involvement construct.Tate, a portfolio of four art museums in the UK has more than 90,000 members that receive a benefits package in return for a membership fee. Data were collected using an interpretive, qualitative approach. 59 face to face semistructured interviews were conducted with Tate Members during spring 2008.The narratives expose the complexity in exploring the involvement construct and the analysis revealed six new involvement characteristics: 1) Centrality and Pleasure; 2) Desire to Learn; 3) Escapism: Spirituality and Creativity; 4) Sense of Belonging and Prestige; 5) Physical; and 6) Drivers of Involvement. These are discussed in the context of previous studies into museum consumption, services and leisure involvement literature. The authors discuss how these findings may be transferred to other settings and the managerial implications for marketers and membership managers are considered.

“…As pointed out by some scholars (e.g., Chi 2012;Gursoy et al 2014), antecedents of loyalty have been extensively researched, with tourist satisfaction appearing as one of the most important (Chi and Qu 2008;Prayag et al 2015). Other antecedents include customers' perceived value at the destination (Gallarza and Saura 2006;Prebensen, Woo, Chen and Uysal 2013), perceived destination services (Chen and Tsai 2007;Chi 2012), image of the destination Chen and Tsai 2007;Chi and Qu 2008), travel motivations (Jang and Wu 2006;Prebensen et al 2013;Prayag and Ryan 2012), level of involvement with the destination (Havitz and Dimanche 1999;Prayag and Ryan 2012), previous experience within the destination (Chi, 2012;Gursoy and McCleary 2004), attachment to the destination (Prayag and Ryan 2012;Yuksel, Yuksel and Bilim 2010), emotional experience with the destination (del Bosque and San Martín 2008; Prayag, Hosany and Odeh 2013;Prayag et al 2015) and visit intensity with the destination (Antón, Camarero and Laguna-Garcia 2014).…”

Abstract:This study proposes a theoretical model integrating two lines of tourism research: emotional solidarity and destination loyalty. In order to test the proposed model, a survey of visitors to Cape Verde islands was undertaken. Structural equation modeling and moderated mediation analysis were implemented to assess the relationships involving visitors' emotional solidarity with residents, satisfaction and destination loyalty. The three dimensions of emotional solidarity were considered in the study: feeling welcomed, sympathetic understanding and emotional closeness.Results indicate that visitors' feeling welcomed and sympathetic understanding directly influence loyalty. In particular, the relationships involving visitors' feeling welcomed by residents, emotional closeness with residents and sympathetic understanding with residents and loyalty were all mediated by satisfaction. Additionally, gender was found to moderate the conditional indirect effects of emotional closeness and feeling welcomed on loyalty (via satisfaction). Such relationships were stronger among male visitors. Implications as well as future research opportunities are offered.

“…Involvement studies have been closely examined in the consumer behaviour literature and a call for a more diverse target sample in the study of involvement proposed (Dimanche & Havitz, 1995;Havitz & Dimanche, 1999). Involvement studies related to tourism have targeted different populations such as casino gamblers (Park et al, 2002), wine tourists , national park tourists (Hwang et al, 2005), and hotel customers (Suh et al, 1997).…”

The importance of food in vacation decision-making: Involvement, lifestyles and destination activity preferences of international Slow Food members

Lee¹

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Food is an important topic in the field of tourism, and has also been studied in many other disciplines. While most tourism literature considers food as an important motivating factor to travel, researchers such as McKercher, Okumus, and Okumus (2008) have suggested that the methods used to study food tourists do not examine the reasons for travel; instead they provide only tenuous causal relationships between actions (visiting a food destination) and motives (wanting to eat food).Thus, a more holistic approach to studying food tourists is required to better define the relationship between tourists' motivation to travel to a destination and their participation in food-related experiences. Therefore, this study examines the vacation decision-making of a group of Slow Food members with a high interest in food in terms of how they select their vacation destinations and their activities in those destinations.Vacation decision-making is a complex process with different stages. Of the different decisionmaking models available to study this process, the FLAG (fits-like-a-glove) theory was adopted as the framework in this study. This model has a naturalistic approach that considers decision-making as a process, and that each individual's decision is influenced by their past experiences (Woodside, 2006). While many underlying variables influence decision-making, two that require further investigation are involvement and lifestyle.This study aimed to understand how food is important in the vacation decision-making of Slow Food members; thus, it examined Slow Food members' destination activity preferences based on their involvement and lifestyle. The Slow Food movement is a non-profit foundation with over 20 years of history and over 100,000 members in 150 countries around the world. The philosophy of Slow Food is based on acquiring 'good, clean and fair' food. "Good food is defined as being tasty and diverse, and produced in such a way as to maximise its flavour and connections to a geographic and cultural region. Clean food is sustainable, helping to preserve rather than destroy the environment, while fair food is produced in socially sustainable ways that emphasise social justice and fair wages" (Schneider, 2008, p. 390).In order to achieve its aim and objectives, the study adopted a mixed methods exploratory research approach. In Phase 1, 40 interviews were conducted with international Slow Food members from four continents to identify their vacation decision-making, food-related lifestyle, travel lifestyle and destination activity preferences. Data analysed in Phase 1 was used in the development of a destination activity preferences scale included in Phase 2. In Phase 2, an online survey of Slow Food members and an on-site survey of non-Slow Food participants were carried out. These surveys iii collected 337 valid responses from international Slow Food members and 207 valid responses from non-Slow Food participants.Thematic analysis was employed to analyse the qualitative data collected in Phase 1 assisted by ...
