Abstract:
Online User Experiences (UXs) act as persuasive technology that can nudge users toward making behaviour change. This makes online UX integral to marketing. The tourism industry relies on UX to attract potential customers. Made up of 80% SMEs, the competition is high, hence the SMEs must deliver robust UXs that capture, persuade and convert users into customers. Tourism, despite being an early adopter of technology lags behind in terms of delivering UXs that meet users’ expectations. Furthermore, scholarly works exploring online UX as a persuasive technology within the tourism SMEs, specificall

This study examined the use of information in motivating environmentally responsible behaviour. In light of the ineffectiveness of traditional educational methods that have focussed upon affecting behaviour by changing attitudes through the manipulation of cognitive variables, an attempt was made to produce a sense of identification with the Rottnest Island Quokka using the tripartite model of motivational bases of attitudes developed by Hills (1993 ). This model used to determine whether different kinds of information would produce changes in environmental behaviour. Three groups of tourists

Abstract:
In recent years, the city has become a primary setting for a diversity of tourist activities. However, the nature of the urban experience, from the perspective of tourist-city interactions, has not been examined in detail. In this particular arena, the concepts of place image and the tourist experience are very relevant, as processes of tourist image formation and modification are linked to the formation of tourists' expectations. In tum, expectations can have the potential to influence tourist choices and spatial behaviour patterns, in the event of an actual visit. Certainly, probability of p

Abstract:
The fast development of the tourism industry has created both positive and negative impacts on host communities. Reacting to these impacts, host residents hold various attitudes towards tourism and tourists. It has come to common agreement that a supportive host community plays a vital role in the successful and long-term development of community tourism. In order to explain the antecedents of community attitudes towards tourism, researchers have investigated the topic from both the extrinsic perspective (such as stage-based models) and the intrinsic perspective (such as the Social Exchan

Abstract:
Self-congruity theory proposes that part of consumer behaviour is determined by an individual’s comparison of the image of themselves to the image of a product/brand, or to the stereotype of a typical user of the brand (Sirgy, 1986). Self-congruity models have been used in a variety of product branding applications; however, limited research has been conducted within the service industries. Services are intangible making them difficult to evaluate until the moment of consumption. Hence, decision making is often based on cues such as the image of the service or users of the service (Kleijnen, d

Abstract:
Nature-based tourism offers significant socio-economic incentives to successfully replace more intrusive land uses but also causes negative environmental impacts. Currently, knowledge is needed about the effectiveness of specific management actions such as the provision of different access modes and tour experiences at minimizing these impacts while maximizing visitor satisfaction. Nature-based tourism activities were studied in the species-rich gorges of the Flinders Ranges in Outback Australia. This study developed a conceptual framework of visitor-environment relationships, constructed a re

Abstract:
The thesis is an examination of Aboriginal cultural tourism based on interviews with national and international tourists. The research found that the opportunity for tourists to share personal intimacy with Aboriginal people often outweighed the attraction to the cultural aspects of the tours and that this can contribute to the discourse of reconciliation.

Abstract:
Sustainable tourism, especially its environmental dimension, is a topic of great significance, and concerns balancing the number of tourists and the development of tourism infrastructure. Many scholars and practitioners discuss sustainability and the management of the environmental impacts of tourism, as tourist behaviour may directly or indirectly impact the destination environment (Lee, Jan & Yang 2013a). One factor that has been under-used in the study of sustainable tourism behaviour is culture. Culture can have a strong impact on behaviour, and a large number of studies have focused on cu

Abstract:
In what concerns tourism research, there is an increasing interest in areas of investigation as destination image, visitor satisfaction and loyalty, for both scholars and practitioners. The present research goal was to develop a conceptual model for destination image, visitor satisfaction and loyalty and validate its structure, as to gain insights on visitors’ perceptions of destination image, its satisfaction and loyalty, having both theoretical and managerial implications. With this aim, a web review collection approach was selected and online reviews on the University of Coimbra and s
