Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to discuss how consumers accept advanced artificial intelligence (AI) robots in hospitality and tourism and provide a typology and conceptual framework to support future research on advanced robot applicability.

Design/methodology/approach

This research reviews current cases of AI use and technology acceptance model (TAM) studies and proposes a framework, interactive technology acceptance model (iTAM), to identify key determinants that stimulate consumer perceptions of advanced robot technology acceptance.

Findings

The main constructs and types of advanced robots were identified by reviewing TAM studies and AI robots that are currently used in the tourism and hospitality industry. This research found that as technologies tested in TAM studies have been improved by highly interactive systems, increased capability and a more user-friendly interface, examining perceived interactivity of technology has become more important for advanced robot acceptance models. The examples of advanced robot uses indicate that each machine learning application changes the robots’ task performance and interaction with consumers. Conducting experimental studies and measuring the interactivity of advanced robots are vital for future research.

Originality/value

To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study on how consumers accept AI robots with machine learning applications in the tourism and hospitality industry. The iTAM framework provides fundamental constructs for future studies of what influences consumer acceptance of AI robots as innovative technology, and iTAM can be applied to empirical experiments and research to generate long-term strategies and specific tips to implement and manage various advanced robots.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to investigate the effect of virtual reality experience quality on destination visit intention and virtual reality travel intention through the technology acceptance model (TAM).

Design/methodology/approach

Quantitative data gathered from questionnaires applied to 198 people after undertaking an imaginary three-dimensional (3D) destination experience were analyzed with PLS-SEM.

Findings

Virtual reality experience quality influences perceptions and intentions. The perceived ease of use affects perceived usefulness, perceived usefulness effects attitude and destination visit intention, while perceived risk affects only virtual reality travel intention. Attitude affects both intentions.

Research limitations/implications

The main limitation of the study relates to the quality of the experience offered, which is limited to the technical capacity of the virtual reality glasses used. Virtual reality can be used as a new economic offering and create a realistic destination experience. Virtual reality experience quality is an important determinant of intention in physical and imaginary travels, in shaping perceptions and minimizing travel risks. The explanatory power of the model can be increased by adding the perceived risk variable to TAM. The study has brought new perspectives, new insights and suggestions for developing tourism.

Originality/value

In the study, a 3D imaginary destination with its mise-en-scène and story, which includes more than one destination type, was designed. This study contributes to the literature by analyzing real and virtual visit intentions, combining the fields of the experience economy, risk perception and TAM.

研究目的

本研究通过应用技术接受模型, 探讨虚拟现实体验质量对目的地参访意愿和虚拟现实旅游意愿的影响。旨在识别这些变量之间存在的关系, 并解释这些关系的因果链接。

研究方法

本研究从198名参与虚拟三维目的地体验后填写的问卷中获得定量数据并通过PLS-SEM方法进行分析。

研究发现

虚拟现实体验的质量影响用户的感知和意愿。虚拟现实旅游意愿仅受感知风险的影响。感知易用性影响感知有用性。意愿受态度影响, 但感知有用性不影响虚拟现实旅游。

研究局限性/意义

本研究的主要局限性与提供的体验质量有关, 该质量受到虚拟现实眼镜技术能力的限制。虚拟现实可以作为一种新的经济提供方式进行开发。通过将感知风险变量添加到技术接受模型中, 可以增加模型的解释力。本研究为旅游业的发展提供了新的视角、见解和建议, 并解释了虚拟现实提供的真实目的地体。

研究创新

为了研究的目的, 本研究设计了一个虚拟的三维目的地, 包含多个目的地类型。该目的地有自己的布景和故事情节。本研究通过分析真实和虚拟参访意愿的领域, 将体验经济、风险感知和技术接受模型领域相结合, 为文献做出了贡献。

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate eTourism technology acceptance literature to illustrate current gaps in the field and suggest two alternative perspectives that could be adopted.

Design/methodology/approach

A review of academic literature in the field of eTourism technology acceptance was undertaken combining a systematic keyword-based search and snowballing techniques leading to the identification of relevant academic journal articles published since the year 2000.

Findings

While the field of eTourism technology acceptance research has grown substantially over the past few decades, this study highlights that the majority of this research seems to have been conducted within a narrow theoretical scope. The study suggests that this has led to contemporary theoretical and philosophical advancements in understanding the psychological, sociological and neuroscientific aspects of consumer behaviour not yet being mirrored in the eTourism technology acceptance research.

Research limitations/implications

This study invites researchers to adapt alternative theoretical perspectives to create a more in-depth understanding of aspects of technology acceptance behaviour that have yet to be understood. Two distinct alternative perspectives, NeuroIS and interpretivism, are suggested.

Practical implications

This study assists researchers in developing alternative research agendas and diversifying the theoretical foundations of eTourism technology acceptance research.

Originality/value

eTourism technology acceptance research risks being left behind if it does not begin to think beyond current theoretical conceptions of consumer behaviour research. This study contributes to the wider literature by highlighting how eTourism literature is falling behind and by suggesting two innovative alternatives that allow eTourism research an exciting way forward.

研究目的

本论文旨在审视eTourism技术接受研究文献, 以指出当前文献的不足, 并且提出两个未来可能研究方向。

研究设计/方法/途径

研究样本为关于eTourism技术接受研究的文献, 文献搜集方法采用系统关键词搜索和雪球搜索技术, 共74篇相关研究文献, 发表年代为2000年至今。

研究结果

eTourism技术接受研究自过去几十年的发展, 其研究成果已经显著增长。本论文强调这方面研究大多数局限在一个狭小理论领域中。本论文建议此方面的研究可以扩展到心理学 社会学 神经科学等消费者行为的领域,提高eTourism技术接受研究的现代理论和哲学进步,而这些方面在eTourism技术接受研究领域中, 还未涉足。

研究理论限制/意义

本论文邀请学者采用其他理论角度来增强技术接受行为的深入理解。两个显著研究方向包括NeuroIS和解释主义。

研究实际意义

本论文启示学者在eTourism技术接受研究方面的开发新的研究征程, 以及丰富其相关理论基础。

研究原创性/价值

eTourism技术接受研究将被落下, 如果学者不扩展当前关于消费者行为方面的理论基础。本论文拓宽了对eTourism文献的论述, 并且就其如何可能研究落后以及建议两个创新性方向, 使得eTourism研究将有一个崭新前进。

Abstract

Purpose

The present study’s aims are twofold: 1) to contribute to theory development by accounting for both personality and trust in the conceptualization of technology acceptance using the technology acceptance model (TAM) as the theoretical framework; and 2) to explore the influence of ChatGPT-integrated chatbots on tourism behavior.

Design/methodology/approach

The target population for this study was travelers who previously used technology (website/ app) to plan their holiday abroad. An online survey questionnaire created with Google Forms was distributed via a panel company (iPanel). A screening question was included to filter out respondents who have not previously used technological means to plan their holiday abroad. A panel company (iPanel) was hired to collect data from a convenience sample of 305 Israeli tourists who met the above criterion between August 22 and 27, 2023, and were at least 18.

Findings

A significant and positive relationship was observed between trust in ChaptGPT and perceived usefulness. Furthermore, a significant and positive association was observed between perceived ease of use and intentions to use ChatGPT-integrated chatbots to plan future holidays. Post hoc analyses suggest that perceived ease of use mediates the relationship between extraversion and trust, trust mediates the relationship between perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness and age moderates the relationship between perceived ease of use and behavioral intentions.

Research limitations/implications

Data was collected from a convenience sample of Israeli travelers. Hence, generalizations to other countries, nationalities and cultures should be treated carefully; the study is cross-sectional and thus represents respondents’ beliefs and behavioral intentions at a particular time; and the study is based on one of several theoretical frameworks that can be used to conceptualize behaviors associated with using AI by tourists.

Practical implications

The findings of the present study point to the importance of accounting for tourists’ personal factors, such as personality and age, in developing AI products in the tourism industry. chief executive officers and relevant shareholders would benefit from conducting market research to obtain insights into the factors that may enhance or hamper tourists’ adoption of AI-based technology for planning their holidays abroad.

Originality/value

Previous work falls short of accounting for personality traits and trust in a single model using the TAM framework. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study empirically investigating tourism behavior related to ChatGPT based chatbots as a tool to plan future holidays abroad. Furthermore, the possible role of age as a moderating variable was overlooked in past research.

目的

本研究的目标有两个:1)采用技术接受模型作为理论框架, 通过考虑技术接受概念化中的个性和信任来促进理论发展; 2)探讨ChatGPT集成的聊天机器人对旅游行为的影响。

设计/方法/途径

本研究的目标人群是以前使用技术(网站/应用程序)计划出国度假的旅行者。使用 Google Forms 创建的在线调查问卷通过小组公司 (iPanel) 分发。其中包含一个筛选问题, 以筛选出之前未使用技术手段计划出国度假的受访者。聘请了一家调查公司(iPanel)来收集 305 名以色列游客的便利样本数据, 这些游客在 2023 年 8 月 22 日至 27 日期间符合上述标准, 且年龄至少为 18 岁。

研究结果

在 ChaptGPT 的信任度和感知有用性之间观察到显着且积极的关系。此外, 观察到易用性与使用集成 ChatGPT 的聊天机器人来计划未来假期的意向之间存在显着且正相关的关系。事后分析表明, 感知的易用性调节了外向性和信任之间的关系; 信任调节感知易用性和感知有用性之间的关系, 年龄调节感知易用性和行为意愿之间的关系。

原创性

以前的工作未能在单个模型中使用技术接受模型框架来解释个性特征和信任。这是第一项实证研究, 调查与 ChatGPT 集成聊天机器人相关的旅游行为, 作为规划未来出国度假的工具。此外, 过去的研究忽视了年龄作为调节变量的可能作用。

研究局限性/影响

1)数据是从以色列旅行者的便利样本中收集的。因此, 应该谨慎对待对其他国家、民族和文化的概括; 2)该研究是横断面的, 因此代表了受访者在特定时间的信念和行为意愿; 3)该研究基于几个理论框架之一, 该框架可用于概念化游客使用 ChatGPT 集成聊天机器人来计划未来出国度假的意向。

实际影响

本研究的结果表明, 在开发用于旅游业的基于 ChatGPT 的聊天机器人时, 考虑游客的个人因素(例如个性和年龄)的重要性。首席技术官和相关股东将受益于进行市场研究, 以深入了解可能增强或阻碍游客采用基于 ChatGPT 的聊天机器人来规划未来出国度假的因素。

Objetivo

Los objetivos del presente ossib son dos: 1) contribuir al ossibleo de la teoría incorporando la personalidad y confianza en la conceptualización de la aceptación de la tecnología empleando el Modelo de Aceptación de la Tecnología como marco teórico; 2) analizar la influencia de los chatbots integrados en ChatGPT en el comportamiento turístico.

Diseño/metodología/enfoque

La población objetivo de este ossib fueron los viajeros que anteriormente utilizaban tecnología (página web/aplicación) para planificar sus vacaciones en el extranjero. Se distribuyó un cuestionario online creado con Google Forms a través de una empresa de paneles (iPanel). Se incluyó una pregunta de selección para filtrar a los encuestados que no habían utilizado previamente medios tecnológicos para planificar sus vacaciones en el extranjero. Se contrató a una empresa de paneles (iPanel) para recopilar datos de una muestra de conveniencia de 305 turistas israelíes que cumplieron el criterio anterior entre el 22 y el 27 de ossib de 2023, y con una edad ossib de 18 años.

Resultados

Se identificó una relación ossibleon y ossible entre la confianza en ChaptGPT y la utilidad percibida. Además, se evidenció una asociación ossibleon y ossible entre la facilidad de uso percibida y la intención de ossible chatbots integrados en ChatGPT para planificar futuras vacaciones. Los análisis post-hoc sugieren que la facilidad de uso percibida media la relación entre la ossibleon y la confianza; la confianza media la relación entre la facilidad de uso percibida y la utilidad percibida, y la edad modera la relación entre la facilidad de uso percibida y las intenciones de comportamiento.

Limitaciones/implicaciones de la investigación

1) los datos se recopilaron de una muestra de conveniencia de viajeros israelíes. Por tanto, las generalizaciones a otros países, nacionalidades y culturas deben tratarse con cuidado; 2) el ossib es transversal y, por tanto, representa las creencias y las intenciones de comportamiento de los encuestados en un momento determinado; 3) el ossib se basa en uno de los diversos marcos teóricos que pueden emplearse para conceptualizar la intención de los turistas de ossible chatbots integrados en ChatGPT para planificar futuras vacaciones en el extranjero.

Implicaciones ossible

Los resultados del presente ossib señalan la importancia de tener en cuenta los factores personales de los turistas, como la personalidad y la edad, en el ossibleo de chatbots basados en ChatGPT para su uso en la industria turística. Los directores de tecnología y los stakeholders relevantes se beneficiarían de investigación de mercado para obtener información sobre los factores que pueden mejorar o dificultar la adopción de chatbots basados en ChatGPT por parte de los turistas para planificar futuras vacaciones en el extranjero.

Originalidad

Los trabajos anteriores no tienen en cuenta los rasgos de personalidad y la confianza en un único modelo utilizando ossible TAM. Este es el primer ossib que investiga empíricamente el comportamiento turístico relacionado con los chatbots basados en ChatGPT como herramienta para planificar las futuras vacaciones en el extranjero. Además, en investigaciones anteriores no se ossible el ossible papel de la edad como variable moderadora.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to establish and empirically test a theoretical framework to explain the impacts of health quick response (QR) technology trust and acceptance on responsible pandemic travel.

Design/methodology/approach

The study integrates trust, confidence and cooperation theory and the technology acceptance model (TAM) to address the research aim. Adopting a quota sampling approach, a national online survey of 1,089 respondents was conducted across mainland China. Structural equation modelling is applied to evaluate the proposed hypotheses.

Findings

Results indicate that health QR code technology trust can improve travel confidence and mitigate travel fear, which influences travel intention and social distancing practices among tourists. However, tourists’ acceptance of health QR codes encourages social distancing behaviours rather than travel intentions.

Research limitations/implications

The study illustrates the role of health information technology in improving tourist confidence and responsible travel behaviours in a pandemic context. Furthermore, the research supports and adds to the TAM by investigating the relationships between acceptance of health-related technology and pandemic travel behaviour.

Practical implications

This research helps the local government and tourism managers to evaluate the effectiveness of health QR codes in pandemic travel in China. Strategies for improving tourists’ trust, technology adoption and responsible behaviours are provided.

Originality/value

This study differs from existing literature by investigating the innovative technology (i.e., health QR codes) in pandemic travel. Given the prevalence of health QR codes after the COVID-19 outbreak, it fills a knowledge gap and provides advice to improve pandemic travel safety.

研究目的

本文旨在建立并实证检验一个理论框架, 以解释健康快速反应 (QR) 技术信任和接受对负责任的大流行旅行的影响。

研究设计/方法/途径

该研究整合了信任、信心和合作理论以及技术接受模型来解决研究目标。 采用配额抽样的方法, 在中国大陆对 1089 名受访者进行了全国在线调查。 应用结构方程模型来评估提出的假设。

研究发现

结果表明, 健康二维码技术信任可以提高旅行信心并减轻旅行恐惧, 这会影响游客的旅行意愿和社会疏远做法。 然而, 游客对健康二维码的接受鼓励了社会疏远行为, 而不是旅游意图。

研究局限性/影响

该研究说明了健康信息技术在大流行背景下提高游客信心和负责任的旅行行为方面的作用。 此外, 该研究通过调查健康相关技术的接受度与流行病旅行行为之间的关系, 支持并补充了技术接受度模型。

研究实际意义

这项研究帮助当地政府和旅游管理者评估健康二维码在中国大流行旅游中的有效性。 提供了提高游客信任度、技术采用和负责任行为的策略。

研究独创性/价值

这项研究与现有文献的不同之处在于调查了大流行旅行中的创新技术(即健康二维码)。 鉴于 COVID-19 爆发后健康二维码的流行, 它填补了知识空白并提供了改善大流行旅行安全的建议。

This research has adapted key measures from the “technology acceptance model” (TAM) and from the “uses and gratifications theory” (UGT) to better understand the individuals’ intentions to use online streaming technologies. A structural equations partial least squares’ confirmatory composite approach was used to analyze the gathered data.

Findings

The individuals’ perceived usefulness and ease of use of online streaming services were significant antecedents of their intentions to use the mentioned technologies. Moreover, this study suggests that the research participants sought emotional gratifications from online streaming technologies, as they allowed them to distract themselves into a better mood and to relax in their leisure time. Evidently, they were using them to satisfy their needs for information and entertainment.

Research limitations/implications

This study contributes to the academic literature by generating new knowledge about the individuals’ perceptions, motivations and intentions to use online streaming technologies to watch recorded movies, series and live broadcasts.

Practical implications

The findings imply that there is scope for the providers of online streaming services to improve their customer-centric marketing by refining the quality and content of their recorded programs and through regular interactions with subscribers and personalized recommender systems.

Originality/value

This study integrates the TAM and UGT frameworks to better understand the effects of the users’ perceptions, ritualized and instrumental motivations on their intentions to continue watching movies, series and broadcasts through online streaming technologies, during COVID-19.

Abstract

Purpose

Mobile food ordering apps (MFOAs) became more popular, thanks to social distancing regulations during the COVID-19 outbreak. People started to order food using these apps more than usual. As customers seem happy to use these apps, there is always a risk of spreading infection. These facts inevitably shape customer intentions. Therefore, this study aims to empirically assess the MFOA user dining attitudes (DA), e-satisfaction (ES) and continuance intention (CI) regarding the perceived risk (PR) during the COVID-19 pandemic in Türkiye.

Design/methodology/approach

This study used structural equation modelling (SEM) in the expectation confirmation theory and technology acceptance model. Data collection instruments were derived from existing literature, and 625 questionnaires were collected via online surveys. The data collection instrument consisted of eight parts that aimed to gather information about participants’ demographics, expectation confirmation, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, ES, PR and CI.

Findings

Results showed significant relationships between ES, DA, PR and CI. The most remarkable finding is that while ES influences customers to reuse MFOAs, PR causes a decrease in CI.

Originality/value

This study model broadened the existing MFOA study models by adding risk factors. Also, it made a valuable contribution to emerging MFOA literature both in Türkiye and the world.

研究目的

由于 Covid-19 爆发期间的社交距离规定, 移动订餐应用程序 (MFOA) 变得更受欢迎。 人们开始比平时更多地使用这些应用程序点餐。由于客户似乎很乐意使用这些应用程序, 因此始终存在传播感染的风险。这些事实不可避免地会影响客户的使用意愿。因此, 本研究旨在实证评估 MFOA 用户在 Turkiye Covid-19 大流行期间对感知风险的用餐态度、电子满意度和持续意图。

研究设计/方法/途径

该研究在预期确认理论和技术接受模型中使用了 SEM。 数据收集工具来自现有文献, 通过在线调查收集了 625 份问卷。 数据收集工具由 8 个部分组成, 旨在收集有关参与者的人口统计信息、期望确认、感知易用性、感知有用性、电子满意度、感知风险和持续意图的信息。

研究发现

结果显示电子满意度、用餐态度、感知风险和持续意愿之间存在显着关系。 最显着的发现是, 虽然电子满意度会影响客户重复使用 MFOA, 但感知到的风险会导致持续意愿下降。

研究原创性/价值

该研究模型通过添加风险因素拓宽了现有的 MFOA 研究模型。 此外, 它还为土耳其和世界新兴的 MFOA 文献做出了宝贵贡献。
