“…Other 47% (141) of the interviewed tourists said that they occasionally use social media for their travel-related decisions. Similar to Oriade and Robinson (2019), the findings of this study suggest that tourists usually search for information related to the components of tourism. While reflecting upon the informativeness dimension, 135 tourists regarded reasonable amounts of travel information gathered through social media to be of high value.…”

“…Table 5 shows the topics of information that the tourists searched on social media. Topics of information that India's inbound tourists searched for were similar to that of Oriade and Robinson (2019). Tourists' responses regarding the amount of considerable information on travel gathered through social media platforms were clustered into three categories (Table 6).…”

Given the relative proliferation of social media users and the significance of information collection in a consumer's decision journey, this study tried to identify the most widely used social media platforms for India's travel information. To evaluate the general trustworthiness of inbound tourists on social media platforms, focus group interviews were conducted across 12 Indian states in which 300 foreign tourists from 85 countries took part. Tripadvisor and Facebook were the two social media platforms with the greatest number of users seeking India's travel information. The findings of the study conclude the use of multiple social media platforms for varied information and destination choice.

“…Decisions about hotels reflect personal choice, and show how and why individuals make decisions (Martinstaff, 2015;McCabe, et al, 2016;Lee et al, 2011;Wilson, 2012). Guests can be segmented, based upon their choices, which gives an indication about the cultural and psychological nature of a particular destination (Oriade and Robinson, 2019;Vásquez, 2011). The primary element of stratification used in the study was Satisfaction.…”

Amusement parks occurred in Europe and North American as early as in 19 century (Clave and Clarke, 2007). Theme park in China is relatively new. Not until 1989, first attraction development, the Splendid China, was established in Shenzhen (Ap, 2008). However, witnessed the rapid economic development in China in the past decades, Chinese consumers rapidly and significantly raised their leisure expenditure, one of key growth area is to attend theme park (Martin, et al., 2018). The theme park collects recreational entertainment, leisure activities, and seeking excitement into one entity, often preferred by visitors as one stop vacation-taking place. More important, theme park is often a center for cultural manifestation, responsiveness, and appreciation, and these attributes are often associated with the place where it is built. The purpose of this manuscript was to understand the cultural and psychological demands for the Disney Shanghai Park in China. A Triangulation method of Critical Analysis, Word Cloud, and Thematic Content Analysis was used. Two data points were analyzed: Hotel Comments and Park Remarks. The common thread through the Shanghai data was group processes and decisions that relate to the development of the group. 30 term of its reliability. As it was mentioned earlier, some comments could be well-inflamed other than accurate. We recommend future research to use this finding as a springboard to further look into theme park goers' expectation and satisfaction in the context of cultural appreciation. A combined of qualitative and quantitative research approach is strongly recommended for future research as well. Do we believe in TripAdvisor? Examining credibility perceptions and online travelers' attitude toward using user-generated content. Shanghai surprise: The city heats up with in the know boutiques. fashionable nightlife and seductively revitalized hotels.

“…The content of CQAs, and particularly TA forums, have been investigated in the tourism-related literature (Edwards et al 2017; Mkono and Tribe 2017; Oriade and Robinson 2019). However, to the best of our knowledge, no previous works have addressed IQ in tourism-oriented CQA sites.…”

“…Transport authorities have already recognized the potential of social media (SM) as a dissemination channel for travel information, as well as a platform for promoting both transport and tourism policy goals (Bregman 2012; Cottrill and Derrible 2015; Hays, Page, and Buhalis 2013; Lee, Lowry, and Delconte 2015; Lyu and Hwang 2015). However, authorities and destination management organizations (DMOs) have not yet realized SM’s full potential with respect to various tourism-related issues, including transport-related information (Oriade and Robinson 2019; Pabel and Prideaux 2016). Some researchers now recommend that government-authorized organizations train personnel and devote resources toward ongoing engagement in popular SM sites, as a means of providing useful information for tourists and promoting tourism in their regions.…”

Providing relevant, complete, and coherent information to travelers wishing to get from one destination to another is a fundamental responsibility of transport authorities. This study explored the characteristics of information desired by tourists seeking travel instructions through Question & Answer forums, particularly TripAdvisor’s city forums, with the aim of developing guidelines to improve answers.Three categories of travel information were defined, and a scenario-based survey was conducted among 558 tourists. Based on its results, a novel multidimensional model for assessing the quality of information posted in response to questions was developed. The study yielded several main conclusions. Shorter answers of up to four information items are preferred over longer ones, and diverse information types are preferred over several of the same category. Given an accurate basic existing answer, our model suggests that information should be added only when one or more of the three information categories is not already represented.
