“…Therefore, it can be suggested that the reduction in accommodation cost due to the use of peer-to-peer accommodation rentals allows for the distribution of predisposed expenditures for other trip components, including on-site activities. Nicolau (2011b) further suggest the monetary and nonmonetary efforts that travelers make in order to participate in certain activities at the destination. He identified significant relationships between accommodation types and these efforts.…”

As a result of the phenomenal growth of the sharing economy in the travel industry, investigating its potential impacts on travelers and tourism destinations is of paramount importance. The goal of this study was to identify how the use of peer-to-peer accommodation leads to changes in travelers’ behavior. Based on two online surveys targeting travelers from the United States and Finland, it was identified that the social and economic appeals of peer-to-peer accommodation significantly affect expansion in destination selection, increase in travel frequency, length of stay, and range of activities participated in tourism destinations. Travelers’ desires for more meaningful social interactions with locals and unique experiences in authentic settings drive them to travel more often, stay longer, and participate in more activities. Also, the reduction in accommodation cost allows travelers to consider and select destinations, trips, and tourism activities that are otherwise cost-prohibitive. Implications for tourism planning and management are provided

“…Prospect Theory (Kahneman and Tversky 1979) is useful in that it reconciles classical economic theory with psychological factors, including perception and value expressions such as risk, alongside intuitive reasoning, and so argues that rationality is "bounded" (Correia, Kozak, and Tão 2014). Although some aspects of Prospect Theory such as risk (Williams and Baláž 2014) and intuitive reasoning (Nicolau 2011) have been investigated in isolated studies, these have been undertaken independently rather than integrated into models of tourism decision making. Additionally, tourist decisions based on intuitive reasoning are regarded as a special outcome of particular contexts rather than an equivalent alternative to the rational processing system.…”

The rule that human beings seem to follow is to engage the brain only when all else fails-and usually not even then. AbstractGeneral models of tourist decision making have been developed to theorize tourist decision processes. These models have been based on the premise that tourists are rational decision makers and utility maximizers. Further, these models have been operationalized through input-output models to measure preferences and behavioral intentions. The extent that they remain viable to explain and predict tourist behavior as tourism markets mature however is uncertain. This review article critiques these approaches and proposes a new general model based on dual system theory to account for different types of choice strategies, the constructive nature of preferences, and to recognize the individual and contextual factors that influence choice processes. The article argues that a general tourist choice model should integrate the psychological processes that determine choice strategies, or heuristics, and consider choice context. These include individual differences, task-related factors, and principles determining system engagement. Future research and practical implications are outlined.

“…Research indicates that environmental concern only plays a minor role in tourists’ decision making (Fairweather, Maslin, and Simmons 2005). In explaining this difference, Carr (2002) suggests that people’s behavior at home is driven by the residual culture while actions on holiday are a function of tourist culture (Nicolau 2011). We predict that individuals will display a greater level of proenvironmental behavior at home compared with at a hotel.…”

A deeper understanding of customers’ desire for and participation in green activities can lead to organizations designing more efficient and effective green programs. This research finds that the guests’ assessment of the importance of being environmentally friendly has the greatest effect on their intention to stay in a green hotel. Second, the research identifies the following customer barriers to participation: inconvenience, perceptions of cost cutting, and decreased luxury—all of which significantly affect consumers’ intention to stay at a green hotel or pay more for a room in such a hotel. Third, the results show that customers believe that hotels should have certain green practices, but did not consider it important to stay in a hotel that actually maintains the thirteen green practices tested here. Fourth, the results find that customers behave with greater environmental responsibility at home than they do in a hotel. Among the implications of these findings is the idea that hotel managers’ communications and actions must be relevant to guests’ concerns by educating customers, increasing convenience to participate in green programs, and decreasing perceptions of cost cutting.
