The idea behind the concept of Electronic Wordof-Mouth (e-WOM) is important to the visibility of individuals and businesses on social media. Although the e-WOM is increasingly adopting in Vietnam, the association of e-WOM with social media among Vietnamese is an under-researched area.Accordingly, drawing on Social Cognitive Theory, this study aims to identify the role of e-WOM in developing e-loyalty and thus e-purchase. This study develops a model consisting of e-WOM as an independent variable, e-loyalty, and e-purchase as dependent variables, and information credibility, information quality and information usefulness as mediating variables. Analyzing the data obtained from 120 online brand members, this study shows that e-WOM has a significant positive impact on e-loyalty and e-purchase. Furthermore, information credibility, information quality, and information usefulness strengthened the relationship between e-WOM and e-loyalty.

“…Nowadays, when consumers need a product or service, they turn to their smart phones and search for information on websites, applications and social media in order to find the product or service that best fits their needs (Erkan and Evans, 2016). E-wom is sharing your opinion, feelings and attitudes with groups of people on any subject matter through Internet (Ishida, Slevitch and Siamionava 2016). There is no longer any need to use traditional media or traditional word of mouth (WOM) as mobiles and social networks have created a new WOM.…”

AbstractTourism is a sector in which consumers -tourists widely share their opinions, experiences and recommendations. Due to the fact that tourist services cannot be evaluated before the purchase, word-of-mouth has been recognized as an influential factor and a significant resource of information transmission in the tourism market. Word-of-mouth has an important role in tourists' decision-making processes, in which consumerstourists rely on the suggestions from those who have experienced the service. With the increasing use of the Internet, a large number of consumers -tourists have begun to share their recommendations online. Electronic word-of-mouth refers to any positive or negative statement made by a consumer -tourist about a tourist service, which is available on the Internet. The digitalization of word-of-mouth has created numerous possibilities and challenges for hospitality and tourism marketers. This paper aims to examine the influence of traditional word-of-mouth and electronic word-of-mouth on tourists' decision-making processes. Specifically, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of virtual interactions among consumers -tourists as a part of tourism promotion. This paper has provided a theoretical framework of word-of-mouth (WOM) and electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) showing that electronic word-ofmouth plays an important role in the tourists' decision-making process.interactive platforms while travelling) and the post-travel phase (in this phase tourists share their opinions and experiences).According to Torres et al. (2015), electronic word-of-mouth has introduced a new way of capturing, analyzing, interpreting and managing interpersonal influence and communication among tourists. As Jeong & Jang (2011) stated, the potential impact of electronic word-of-mouth on consumers' -tourists' decision-making can be more powerful in comparison with the impact of traditional word-of-mouth. Thus, the primary source of information that is used to plan a holiday is electronic word-of-mouth (Marine-Roig, 2017). In this sense, hospitality and tourism marketers should be aware of the fact that, in future, almost all tourists' decision-making processes will be strongly affected by online reviews.
