The concepts through the mediating effects of psychographic constructs in tourist behaviour
Journal of basic applied scientific research
The relationships of subjective norms as well as their roles in the causal relationships as constructs are main issues for understanding consumer behavior. Hence, the importance of subjective norms is not covered as a valuable subject. Since there are a few studies about causal relationships of latent variables as mediating effect in the tourism literature; the aim of this article is to pursue and present to discover those precise associations among subjective norms as variables which lead to a new model of them. Expectancy-Value Theory (EVT) and Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) are employed as the base of created model from Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Moreover, investigating of subjective issues is very useful to find out consumer behavior, while their concepts are as latent variables or intangibles are very complicated and sophisticated. Besides, tourism literature has a little information through the mediating effects of psychological variables which are led to tourism loyalty. However, the importance of mediating effects is valuable to know the customers how and why to do as well as to predict behavioral intentions. Further, the lack of conceptual framework from mentioned issues is improved by considering variables as subjective and their roles as mediating effects like lifestyle, personality and travel satisfaction between destination image and loyalty.

TA Antecedents of tourists behavioral intentions
A theory-based pattern is assessed in this article, examining the relationships among three concepts—traveler perceived freedom of choice, destination image, and satisfaction—that are the antecedents of travelers’ behavioral intentions. More specifically, this study aims at finding the influence of travelers’ perceived freedom of choice (including food, trip mode, travel time, route, and activity) on their image perception, degree of satisfaction, and behavioral intentions. Based on confirmatory factor analysis, the reliability and the effectiveness of the survey were assessed. Using information based on the research of outbound travelers from Mainland China, a structural equation model with maximum likelihood estimation was made to determine the relationships. According to these findings, the more favorable destination image, higher level of tourist satisfaction, higher intention to revisit, and higher willingness to recommend can be achieved by offering more options to travelers. In terms of the theoretical and practical significance of tourism, these research results serve as a vital inspirational and influential element.

Psychographics has been proposed as a valuable topic in the marketing literature. Also, it can be represented as latent variables which are related to the behaviors not only in the product or service discussions but also in the tourism activities. Besides, the tourism as the globally business can be understood in terms of the tourists' reflections in the different ways. Hence, the survey of original intentions of tourists is very precious subjects by regarding the causal relationship for exploring phenomena from their behavioral intentions. As psychographic constructs, which can impact in the different glances of the affect and cognitive systems, create new consumption patterns for purchasing and repurchasing tourism packages. Therefore, loyalty is significantly considered as a valuable construct for stakeholders and academic researchers. Consequently, the aim of this study is to find out loyalty from psychographic facet. To date, there is a bridge gap through the intervening psychographic constructs like lifestyle, personality, and travel satisfaction to achieve loyalty. Additionally, the current study suggested an integrated model through the contemplated constructs by employing Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique to ascertain an appropriate model by Goodness-Of-Fit (GOF) indices.
Symmetric and asymmetric analysis of tourist behavioral intention's antecedents
2022
This paper aims to test the effect of structural relations between memorable tourism experience, destination brand personality, destination place attachment and tourist satisfaction on tourist behavioral intention within a theoretical model. Two different methods were applied for research purposes. First, structural equation modeling was used to analyze linear effects and relationships. Afterwards, as part of asymmetric analysis, fsQCA was used to reveal sufficient and necessary configurations to predict tourist behavioral intention. The results indicate that tourists' future intentions can be predicted by both symmetric and asymmetric models. Linear analysis demonstrated that memorable tourism experience has positive effects on brand personality, attachment, satisfaction and consequently on intention of tourists. Thereafter, asymmetric analysis revealed that satisfaction was necessary for intention, whereas memorable tourism experience, attachment and brand personality were sufficient for intention. While fsQCA provides a supplementary perspective to the structural model, results indicate mediating relationships and configurational variations of research variables.

This research aims at exploring the relationship between travel motivation and tourists’ attitude toward a destination. The study also aims at assessing the mediating role played by destination image between travel motivation and tourists’ attitude toward destination. Data for the study has been collected from tourists visiting Ladakh (Jammu and Kashmir state of India) during the month of July to September (N = 350). Utilizing two theoretical lenses, that of the theory of image and theory of planned behavior, findings of the study revealed positive relationship between tourists’ travel motivation and their attitude toward the destination, which is mediated by destination image. Furthermore, this study contributes by signifying that tourism marketers need to make every possible effort to enhance travel motivation of tourists, so as to build positive image and favorable attitude of tourists toward the destination.
CONSUMER BEHAVIOR IN CONTEMPORARY TOURISM INDUSTRY
isara solutions, 2020
Tourism is one of the most dynamic industries. In this, many factors are associated with it, which lead it to grow. There is one of the major factor without which the existence of tourism cannot be thought of. And that factor is 'Tourist' or consumer in this industry. The ups and downs in the industry depend mainly on consumer, who is also known as “the king” in any business. So, study of consumer behavior in tourism projects the growth, trend and future of tourism industry. The term ' consumer behavior ' is defined as the behavior that consumers display in searching for purchasing; using evaluating and disposing of products and services that one will satisfy their needs. Consumer behavior focuses on how individuals make decisions to spend their available resources (time, money, effort) on consumption related items. Travel and tourism however is an extremely complex product for several reasons. First, it relates to goods and tangible products (souvenirs, gifts, food etc.) as well as intangible services (sightseeing tours, cultural performances etc.). Second, the tourism product consists of a multitude of these goods and services put together and in turn there exists a multitude of options to choose from within each of the tangible goods and intangible service categories. Third, tourist decision making and behavior is influenced by several factors. Tourism is the concept, which involves a number of factors like social, psychological, and economic forces that are major determinants of travel. The present paper suggests some of the elements which influence the tourist behavior and ultimately effects the tourism generation of the region.

The mental states of expectations for leisure are important regulators of tourist activity of participants. The research results allow managers of this activity to understand the expectations of consumers of tourist services that affects the level of services and operationalizes tourist activities. The major factors in the structure of the mental states of expectations were FA “emotional selfregulation” (27.17%), correlated with FB “expected regularity” (rs=0.384; p≤0.01) and FC “cognitive self-regulation” (rs=0.322; p≤0.01). The obtained results can be useful for managers of tourist activities, operators of tourism business and researchers in psychology of tourism.
