2016
The study aims at exploring the importance of guided tours in cruise tourists experience while visiting a port of call and analyzing qualitative (electronic word of mouth from Tripadvisor) and quantitative (personal interviews with tourists) data.

Moreover, the empirical findings revealed that taking a guided tour has a moderating effect on (1) the interaction between destination image–satisfaction, (2) the satisfaction–loyalty causal relationship and (3) the destination image formation process regarding the …

Example, please! Comparing the effects of single customer reviews and aggregate review scores on online shoppers' product evaluations
2014
Many websites of online retail stores display two forms of electronic word of mouth on a single product site, namely single customer reviews and aggregate review scores. This study compares the effects of simultaneously presented single customer reviews and aggregate review scores on product evaluations of visitors of online retail stores. We hypothesize that well-argued single customer reviews should be more influential than aggregate review scores that display the mean rating of all published reviews of a product. Drawing on a 2 × 2 factorial online experiment, we show that a single customer review is effective, even when potential buyers do not perceive it as representing overall custome…
Die digitale Mundpropaganda (Electronic Word-of-Mouth)
2013
Die Durchsetzung des Web 2.0 verschaffte dem Thema Mundpropaganda eine neue Aktualitat. So ermoglicht der Einzug der internetbasierten Kommunikation eine um ein Vielfaches erhohte Diffusion der Informationen im Vergleich zum traditionellen WOM. Die digitale Mundpropaganda, electronic Word-of- Mouth (kurz EWOM), erlangte in diesem Zusammenhang eine grose Bedeutung. Erstmalig wird das Phanomen in der englischsprachigen Literatur von Stauss (2000) unter der Bezeichnung „internet customer communication“ erwahnt. Eine ausfuhrliche und spezifische Definition liefern Hennig-Thurau et al. (2004).
The role of travel motivations and social media use in consumer interactive behaviour: a uses and gratifications perspective
2020
This paper explores the influence of travel motivations and the gratification provided by social media in consumer stickiness to social media, intention to create user-generated content, and electronic word of mouth (eWOM) review adoption. The study follows a mixed-methods approach. First, a concept mapping study was undertaken to identify the main travel motivations and the gratifications provided by social media when consumers search for information on tourism destinations. A second study using structural equation modelling and SmartPLS 3.2.7 with a sample of 401 heavy users of social media showed the relationships between individual travel motivations and gratifications provided by socia…
eWOM on Travel Agency Selection: Specialized versus Private Label
2016
In the travel industry, electronic word of mouth (eWOM) elicits a major influence on consumers’ decision making. Travel retailers are facing the new challenges derived from the different nature of their competitors—big hypermarkets, for instance, are extending their brands to travel services—and the challenges derived from online comments that consumers have access to. With a sample of 263 tourists, and using a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis data analysis, this paper shows how the selection between a specialized travel agency and a private label (PL) agency is influenced by five factors: the usefulness attached to online reviews by users and the valence of those online reviews, …
