“…In recent years, research on the LCC industry has focused on competitive strategy analysis with traditional airlines [14][15][16][17] and route planning, which is different from traditional airlines [18,19], market research for customer characteristics [20], etc., and there has been less discussion on the operation and customer service of self-service technology. Moreover, few studies have used technology readiness as a segment variable to explore the market segmentation of self-service technology users.…”

This study explored behavioral models based on low-cost carrier customers’ use of a ticketing app. Technology readiness, service convenience, and corporate credibility were evaluated in the model. A total of 815 valid responses were collected from customers of Tigerair, Taiwan, who had flown from one of the two major international airports in Taiwan. With technology readiness regarded as the grouping variable, the results indicated that corporate credibility significantly affected customers’ intentions to use the app, whereas the effects of service convenience on the technology exploration, technology contradiction, and the technology insecurity groups varied. Finally, this paper presents a discussion of management implications and suggestions for future studies.

“…Bel, 2009, Graham, 2013. However, some studies argue that LCCs may not necessarily create new demand by bringing in new tourists (Clavé et al, 2015) and that the effect of LCCs on tourism remains uncertain, at least from the characteristics and behavior of the tourists (Dobruszkes et al, 2016). In some cases, LCCs could have some negative impacts on the tourism industry, such as short tourists' average stay period (Pulina and Cortés-Jiménez, 2010), and decrease tourists' expenditures (Alivernini et al, 2012;Marrocu et al, 2015).…”

This paper examines China's LCC market and assesses the network development patterns from a geographical perspective. Overall, a nationwide LCC network has been formed with each individual LCC focusing on their own markets with limited overlap to avoid cut-throat competition. Spring Airlines has developed an advanced network supported by its core bases including Shanghai in East China, Shijiazhuang in North China, Shenyang in Northeast China and Shenzhen in South China. China United has developed a network radiating from Beijing. West Air and Lucky Air seem to be developing a hub-and-spoke network that contributes to the tourism industry in West China. The LCC network is affected by seasonal variations, especially for the routes to tourism destinations such as Haikou, Sanya and Xiamen. Hub cities, however, experience less seasonal impact. This research also finds that routes between 600-1800 km account for a large proportion of the LCC markets. Aviation policy, local government's subsidization and the expansion of the high-speed rail network have helped shape the landscape of China's LCC sector.

“…In the case of incoming tourism in Spain, LCA accounted for 31.6% of arrivals in , 48.4% in 2008, 55.7% in 2010and 58% in 2012(ITE, 2013b. This has triggered a debate regarding the desirability of attracting these airlines to tourist destinations, given the certainty that airline choice and spending behavior at destination are related (Clavé, Saladié, Cortés-Jiménez, Young & Young, 2015;Laurino & Beria, 2014;Liasidou, 2013). Reduction of transportation costs is visible in the analysis of trip budget share, especially if savings in transportation are used to spend more at destination (Eugenio-Martin & Inchausti-Sintes, 2016;Ferrer-Rosell, Coenders & Martínez-Garcia, 2015;Martínez-Garcia & Raya, 2008).…”

Tourist spending behavior is not only relevant in terms of volume but also in terms of trip budget composition or allocation (share or proportion of total trip budget allocated to transportation, accommodation or activities). This paper aims to profile expenditure patterns before, during and after the economic crisis, and how they affect destinations. Clustering methods and compositional data analysis is used as an appropriate statistical approach to analyze share. Incoming tourists to Spain are segmented by trip budget share using repeated cross-sections of official statistics data (2006-2012). One of the main findings is that segments are heterogeneous in their cutting back on expenditure during the economic crisis, and segments increasing in size during the crisis not only spend less but also have the lowest activity share. Furthermore, the paper identifies one of the segments being particularly attractive for destinations in terms both of total expenditure and expenditure profile, with a high activity expenditure share and usually flying with low-cost airlines. The paper contributes to understanding tourist consumer behavior in terms of expenditure pattern at micro level in times of economic recession and its implications for particular destinationsThe authors acknowledge the support of the Catalan Autonomous Government Consolidated Research Group Grant 2014SGR551 funding the research group ‘Compositional and Spatial Data Analysis (COSDA)’; the Spanish Health Ministry Grant CB06/02/1002 funding the research group ‘CIBER of Epidemiology and Public Health (CIBERESP)’; the Spanish Economy and Competitiveness Ministry /FEDER Grants MTM2015–65016-C2–1-R and EDU2015–68610-R funding the projects ‘COmpositional Data Analysis and RElated meThOdS (CODA-RETOS)’ and ‘Assessing Individual and Team Entrepreneurial Potential’; and the University of Girona Grant MPCUdG2016/069 funding the project ‘Statistical and Econometric Modeling’
