“…The term attitude which is a form of psychological outcome has been described as a mental state of readiness to respond to stimuli (Shim et al, 2005). It has also been recognised to be determined by a person's motives (Solomon, 2006, p. 234) and is seen as an important predictor of purchase behaviour (Feng et al, 2006;Ha, 1998;Kim et al, 1996;Lutz, 1981;Pitts and Woodside, 1986). Psychology theorists identified three underlying components to the attitude construct, namely, cognitive, affective and cognitive/behavioural (Feng et al, 2006;McDougall and Munro, 1994).…”

Within the pleasure travel dominion, Shim et al (2005) found the affective component of the overall travel attitude to yield the highest correlation coefficient.…”

Purpose This paper aims to examine how nostalgia influences travel attitudes and intentions of tourist destination among travellers with Italian heritage. Perceived travel risks as a moderating role between the relationships between personal and historical nostalgia and travel attitudes are also examined. Design/methodology/approach A self-administered mail survey was used, targeting Australians of Italian heritage, to investigate the influence of nostalgia on attitudes and intentions to visit Italy as a tourist destination. A total of 218 usable responses were used for analysis. Exploratory factor analysis was utilised to assess the dimensionality of the constructs, and regression analysis was used to test the hypothesised relationships in the research model. Findings On analysis of the data collected through a mail survey, results showed that only personal nostalgia was found to exert a positive influence upon travel attitudes which in turn was positively related to travel intention toward Italy. Perceived travel risk factors did not moderate the relationship between personal nostalgia and travel attitudes. However, a negative relationship was found between perceived travel risk and travel intentions towards Italy. Practical implications The findings provide further validity to the personal and historical nostalgia scales as a means of understanding motivations to visit a tourist destination. Such findings are significant in adding destination managers and policymakers in developing marketing executions and policies that seek to capitalise on the nostalgic sentiments of the target segments. This study further contributes to the literature on perceived travel risks by highlighting its moderating effect on nostalgic motivations and travel attitudes. Originality/value This study aimed to enrich the theoretical base of the tourism discipline by reviewing the significance of personal and historical nostalgia as travel motives and their impact upon a tourist’s travel attitudes and intentions. It also examines the moderating role of perceived travel risks in an empirical model. Further, the current study is the first of its kind to empirically examine personal and historical nostalgia within a leisure travel context.

“…Attitudes have also been found to mediate consequent behaviors, such as future intention to visit a destination (Feng, Cai, & Zhu, 2006). Self-image congruity is important to attitude and consequently to the intention to visit a destination (Sirgy & Su, 2000).…”

Using the context of wine tourism, this study tests an integrated structural model of destination factors and self-congruity to predict behavioral intentions. A survey of 696 respondents throughout Australia showed that functional destination image, affective destination image, and selfcongruity predict attitude toward wine tourism, which in turn predicts behavioral intentions. The moderating influence of wine involvement was also tested through multigroup and latent mean analysis. Consumers who were highly involved with wine appeared to be more influenced by affective destination image and self-congruity than those who indicated low wine involvement.

“…In tourism, this interest is not an exception. On one hand, implications of prices are multiple because of their influence on current issues such as competitiveness (Hiemstra and Wong 2002;Lee 1996;Tan, McCahon, and Miller 2002;Stevens 1992), business-to-business relationships (Law and Lau 2004;Pearce 2007), future intentions such as repurchase (Feng, Cai, and Zhu 2006;Kao et al 2008;Miller and Grazer 2003;Petrick, Morais, and Norman 2001;Petrick and Backman 2002;Petrick 2004;He and Song 2009), the design of bundling strategies (Hooper 1995), and their dual function in terms of sacrifice incurred and quality expected (Murphy and Pritchard 1997;Park et al 2007); and on the other hand, today's research trends tend to introduce psychological elements in the traditional, expected rational consumption of tourism, such as risk and uncertainty avoidance (Quintal, Lee, and Soutar 2010), or more controversially, the introduction of emotional aspects like "affect" that lead traditional cognitive-dominated theories to be revised (Walls, Okumus, and Wang 2011).…”

Asymmetric Tourist Response to Price

The objective of this article is to look into heterogeneity in loss aversion in order to detect how dispersed loss aversion is in tourism and to observe whether different degrees of loss aversion can lead to the identification of loss-aversion-based segments. Loss aversion is a prominent psychological human trait that causes asymmetric price reactions. Tourism literature has shown it is a critical characteristic with a significant, but heterogeneous, effect on tourist destination choice. However, so far no attempt has been made to look into loss aversion heterogeneity, and this article contributes to the literature by exploring, for the first time, the potential existence of groups of tourists that show differentiated asymmetric responses to price. The empirical application estimates the individual degree of loss aversion for each tourist, and detects five segments with different sensitivities. Relevant managerial implications are drawn in terms of implementing pricing strategies.
