“…In addition, there are results that shed light on enduring research topics, such as repeat visitor behavior. In fact, it should be noted that repeat visitors display higher probabilities of experiencing longer stays, a fact in line with the findings in Lehto, O'Leary, and Morrison (2004), who claim that repeat visitors exhibit extended length of stays.…”

“…In fact, everything else the same, being a repeat visitor reduces the hazard rate to half (0.5223) in the Weibull model. Repeat visitor behavior has aroused interest in the recent years (see, among others, Kozak, 2001;Lehto et al, 2004;Oppermann, 1997); its relationship with future visiting behavior (destination loyalty) and word-ofmouth recommendation carries important policy and marketing implications. It is interesting to note the strikingly different expected on-site time spent by repeaters from first-timers, as Figure 1 documents.…”

Length of stay is one of the most important decisions made by tourists as it conditions their overall expenditure and stress caused on local resources. This article estimates survival analysis models to learn the determinants of length of stay as survival analysis naturally lends itself to study the time elapsed between arrival and departure. It is found that sociodemographic profiles, such as nationality and gender, and trip attributes, such as repeat behavior, travel motive, and type of flight, are important determinants of length of stay. This article's results are important to design marketing strategies that effectively influence length of stay.

“…The first step determines the adequacy of the measurement model before analyzing the structural components with exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The second step creates the structural equation modeling (Lehto, O'Leary, & morrison, 2004). Detailed results from the EFA and CFA can be found in Table 1.…”

This research's purpose is to examine the factors that affect pet owners' decisions when taking pets to participate in tourism activities. Unlike tourist traveling alone, pet owners must consider their own circumstances as well as the constraints their pets place on them. After examining 30 British dog owners' interview transcripts through interpretive approach and 388 British dog owners' surveys through structural equation modeling, the results show pet-associated constraints will negatively affect owners' motivation and behavior. however, motivated owners can still participate if they have sufficient negotiation strategies. Contrary to the literature, owners' attachment with their pets will not directly cause them to take pets when participating in tourism activities.

The influence of motivations in tourists’ involvement

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

One of the main aspects in the consumer behavior is the concept of involvement because it influences the decision rules used by tourists to reach the final decision. An empirical study of 600 international tourists reveals that motivation to relax, influences tourists' involvement with the trip. A structural model shows that when tourists are motivated to relax they get directly more involved with their trip (pleasure and information seeking). The motivation to relax also influences indirectly the tourist involvement with the evaluation and quality perception of the trip through its influence on involvement with the trip planning. Discussion centers on the implications of this model to theory and management specifically to the development of tourism and services strategies.
