“…All Cronbach’s alpha values reported in this section are based on the measurement items for this study. A list of 13 motivation items (α=.87) was adapted from the literature (e.g., Berdychevsky, Gibson, and Bell 2013; Durko, Stone, and Petrick 2014; Gibson, Berdychevsky, and Bell 2012; Khoo-Lattimore and Gibson 2018; Khoo-Lattimore and Prayag 2015), and measured on a 5-point Likert-type scale (1=strongly disagree and 5=strongly agree). Respondents were asked to evaluate on a 5-point Likert-type scale (1=not at all important and 5=very important) the importance level of 37 accommodation attributes based on their most recent experience as a female who had been on a GGA.…”

“…In today's world, women are extending their independences into every aspect of their life including travel and dining [18]. Traveling provides enjoyment to female travelers through the escape from daily routines, social bonding and hedonic pleasure [19]. Moreover, Chrusciel [20] argued that female bachelor travelers are attracted to cruises under the influence of romanticized images such as candlelit dinners and colorful sunsets.…”

Given that cruise line companies are rushing to restart their operations with modified dining services, the aim of this research is to establish a conceptual framework that precisely outlines female passengers’ behavioral intentions towards dining on cruise ships in the time of the COVID-19 crisis. It does so by extending the theory of reasoned action (TRA) by including the social servicescape of the cruise ship dining experiencescape (stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) paradigm) and perceived health risk from COVID-19 (the prospect theory). The developed theoretical framework based on this tripartite approach has predictive power for intentions. Its effectiveness and comprehensiveness are also demonstrated. Despite the positive effect of the social servicescape on attitude and emotions and the positive attitude of female cruise travelers, the negative effect of the perceived health risk from COVID-19 appears to be the dominant factor that ultimately discourages the behavioral intentions of female cruise passengers towards dining on a cruise ship in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. The present research provides a crucial guiding framework that helps cruise academics and operators to maximize existing and potential passengers’ favorable decisions and behaviors for cruise ship dining.

“…Almost half of respondents sometimes made trips with friends. The benefits of trips without partners are drawn Durko and Stone [2017]. Their research shows that female trips only in a women's society, without families or partners have a positive attitude not only on relations between women, but also strengthen bonds within the family.…”

The aim of the article is to present middle-aged women as a segment of recipients on the tourism services market. The article characterizes women's tourist activity. The available statistical data was reviewed. A survey (hand-out survey) was also conducted on a non-random sample of 155 women. The following research problems were used in empirical studies: What are the reasons for women giving up tourist trips? What form of organization and length of trips do the respondents prefer? Is there a relationship between the respondents' ability to drive a car and their tourist activity? In whose company do women usually go? What goals decide about undertaking tourist activity and which factors have the greatest impact on the organization of a tourist trip? What is the dream tourist trip of the respondents? The research allowed to determine the ways of spending time preferred by women during tourist trips. Women willingly participated in domestic and foreign tourist trips. They usually left with their family or partner, and the main reason for the trip was the desire to entertain, get to know interesting places and rest. Factors that were most important for the respondents were the weather, leisure places and company. The price was definitely less important.
