Abstract

Purpose

Among a wide array of information and communication technologies (ICTs) used to directly or indirectly support the mega events are reality boosting technologies and smart tourism technologies. Building upon the halo effect, this study aims to explain the connection between satisfaction with ICTs used in mega event, national image and event participants’ future behavior.

Design/methodology/approach

The analyzed data included survey responses from 246 foreigners who visited PyeongChang as a visitor for the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Findings

The results showed that both reality boosting technologies and smart tourism technologies directly or indirectly influence overall experience satisfaction by way of transaction satisfaction. Furthermore, the two types of satisfaction were found to positively influence the national image of the host country, which consequently has a positive effect on visitors’ future behavior.

Originality/value

This study aimed to explore two different roles of ICTs in mega events by focusing more on the visitors who came to PyeongChang for the Olympics. The originality of this study lies in its attempt to examine the mechanisms in which visitors’ satisfaction from ICT-based experiences in mega events contributes to forming a positive image toward the host country.

研究目的

现实促进技术和智能旅游技术在各种 ICT中被广泛应用来直接或间接支持大型活动的。基于光环效应, 这项研究解释了对大型活动中使用的 ICT 的满意度, 国家形象, 活动参与者未来行为之间的联系。

研究设计/方法/途径

分析的数据包括 246 位在2018 年冬季奥运会访问平昌的外国游客。

研究发现

结果表明, 现实促进技术和智慧旅游技术通过直接或者间接方式接通过交易满意度影响整体体验满意度。此外, 研究发现两种类型的满意度均对东道国的国家形象形成产生积极影响, 从而对吸引未来访客的有正面影响。

研究原创性/价值

通过聚焦来平昌参加奥运会的游客, 本研究旨在探索信息通信技术在大型活动中的两种不同作用。本研究的原创性在于试图检验游客在大型活动中基于 ICT 的体验满意度对形成对东道国正面的国家形象的机制。

Abstract

Purpose

Smart tourism technology (STT) has become prominent in the development of the tourism industry. This study aims to propose a model that integrates the cognitive–affective–behavioral model and trust transfer theory in the context of the 2018 Taichung World Flora Exposition, a mega-event.

Design/methodology/approach

An integrative model incorporating a questionnaire was used as the study framework. A total of 456 valid travel survey questionnaires were obtained.

Findings

The results suggested that the antecedents (STT and perceived value [PV]) positively affected memorable tourism experience (MTE) (cognitive component). MTE positively affected destination image (DI) (affective component), and DI positively affected intentions to revisit and recommend locations (behavioral component). Finally, MTE mediated the relationships among DI, STT and PV.

Originality/value

This study contributes to the development of a theoretical framework that incorporates a MTE in the context of mega-events and smart tourism concepts. The findings can help governments and the tourism industry understand the effects of STT on tourists’ experiences, perceptions and behaviors.

研究目的

智慧旅游科技在旅游产业发展中占有突出地位。本研究在 2018 年台中世界花博会这一大型盛会的背景下, 提出了一个将认知-情感-行为模型和信任转移理论相结合的模型。

研究方法

本研究采用包含问卷的综合模型作为研究框架。共获得有效旅游调查问卷456份。

研究结果

结果表明, 前因(智慧旅游科技和感知价值)对难忘的旅游体验(认知成分)产生了积极影响。难忘的旅游体验正向影响的目的地形象(情感成分), 目的地形象正向影响重访和推荐地点的意愿(行为成分)。最后, 难忘的旅游体验在目的地形象、智慧旅游科技和感知价值之间起到中介作用。

研究原创性/价值

本研究有助于建立一个在大型活动和智能旅游概念的背景下结合令人难忘的旅游体验的理论框架。这些发现可以帮助政府和旅游业了解智能旅游科技对游客体验、感知和行为的影响。
