“…In keeping with the above, if we consider leisure/pleasure travel only (thus excluding business travel and visiting friends/relatives), then, travel destinations may be broadly categorized into a few types (shown in Table Th e literature discusses factors infl uencing the choice of destinations by tourists. Th ese include: perception of safety among tourists (Jensen & Svendsen, 2017), motivation and image of destination on destination choice (Hsieh, 2016) and sustainable attitudes of tourists (Zgolli & Zaeim, 2018). Moreover, Lepp and Gibson (2008) found evidence that sensation-seeking, a personality trait; may aff ect travel styles and vacation choices.…”

The present paper aims to assess the impact of Consumer Need for Uniqueness (CNFU) in tourists on travel decision-making, particularly, with regard to preferred destination types and activity preferences. The impact of self-attributed need for uniqueness (SANU) in moderating the aforementioned relationships is also examined. The data has been collected using a cross sectional survey on a sample of 288 tourists from various destinations in India. The hypotheses were tested through CFA and SEM using SPSS. The findings indicate that an individual with more need for uniqueness, both as a psychological trait and as a consumer disposition, may prefer unique destinations and unique activities in comparison to those with lower SANU and CNFU. This has important implications for travel and tourism marketers who may appeal to the NFU trait in tourists while promoting travel destinations and activity packages that provide unique, curated experiences for better acquisition and retention efforts.

“…social trust, then people will assist each other and strangers in open social networks that may cause crime rates to drop. In fact, security and low risk of crime is the most important factor for tourists’ decisions regarding travel destinations (Jensen & Svendsen, 2016). These expectations about predictable and trustworthy behaviour according to social norms determine in turn how smoothly or bumpily economic, political, and social exchange processes occur and how modern welfare states are formed (Ostrom & Ahn, 2009).…”

Are Catholics more inclined to violate social norms than Protestants? A tentative answer is yes due to this confession's attitude towards absolution of sins. Opportunities existed for Christians around Reformation times, for example as sales of indulgences. Catholics and Protestants arguably differed historically in their understanding of whether penitence is feasible or not, resulting in different conditions under which Catholics and Protestants decide in situations of social exchange. This is illustrated by ethical game theory and exemplified by historical data. The analysis points to the tentative suggestion that religious socialisation can affect social payoffs of crime and social trust in a long-term perspective. 1 | INTRODUCTION In 1676, Isaac Newton modestly wrote that if he had seen further than others, it was because he stood on the shoulders of giants (Newton, 1676). Olson (1965) could have said in the same way that if he stood on the shoulders of a giant, it must have been Adam Smith and his book The Wealth of Nations. Here, Smith introduces the notion of the private market and the invisible hand (Smith, [1776] 1975). While the notion of the term 'invisible hand' in Smith's work is still debatable, the reference to Calvinist (and therefore theological) ideas about the '[…] positive view of selflove […], a providentialist view of history, and an emphasis on the importance of industry and vocation' (Harrison, 2011, p. 37) is clearly recognisable. Within a setting of valid social norms, individuals contribute, according Smith ([1776] 1975, p. 456), to the wealth of a nation by pursuing self-interested goals in the private market. 1 *Peter Graeff is a professor at the Faculty of Business, Economics, and Social Sciences at Kiel University.

“…attracting tourists or new citizens to the country or a rural area. When citizens tend to cooperate and self-regulate behavior, security levels may increase as well which is a crucial factor when tourists decide upon their travel destination (Jensen and Svendsen, 2016). Furthermore, in this way, social trust can be embedded in the service package that may be offered locally (Tiebout, 1956).…”
