“…Perceived risks or anxiety can influence tourists to avoid specific regions or cities. Still, travelers might drop visiting such places due to past unpleasant experiences, novelty-seeking behaviors ( Sharifpour et al, 2014 ; Wong et al, 2014 ; García-Villaverde et al, 2021 ; Halder and Sarda, 2021 ), or their cultural orientations ( Reisinger and Mavondo, 2006 ; Cuomo et al, 2021 ). From the perspective of the tourism supply side, the previous studies on the travel and tourism industry have taken crises and pandemics as a dominant theme, as it affects tourists’ psychology and mental health at a large scale worldwide.…”

“…The capability to cooperate and compete with local agents is key, without neglecting the global scenario (Klingebiel & Joseph, 2016). Likewise, there are previous studies that analyze pioneering behavior in companies located in Peru's world heritage cities (Ruiz-Ortega, Garcı ´a-Villaverde, De La Gala-Vel asquez, Hurtado-Palomino, & Arredondo-Salas, 2021;Garcı ´a-Villaverde et al, 2021;Hurtado-Palomino et al, 2021), obtaining interesting contributions in the theoretical advancement in the tourism industry.…”

“…In recent years, the tourism industry has undergone a number of changes as a result of market dynamism, technological dynamism and high levels of rivalry, among other factors (Garcı ´a-Villaverde, Ruiz-Ortega, Hurtado-Palomino, De La Gala-Vel asquez, & Zirena-Bejarano, 2021). This business environment requires tourism firms to adapt to changes in a timely fashion and develop management strategies that promote their competitiveness and sustainability (Garcı ´a-Villaverde et al, 2021). In this sense, the interactions between organizational flexibility and market dynamism may be key determinants of the proactiveness needed for pioneering behavior.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to understand the moderating role of market dynamism in the relationship between organizational flexibility and pioneering behavior in tourism firms in Arequipa, Peru. This study aims to delve into the antecedents of pioneering orientation understood as a strategic stance that favors the creation and launch of new products in the market. Design/methodology/approach This empirical study involved the analysis, using partial least squares regression, of 306 surveys administered to mangers of tourism enterprises. Mediation has also been examined using the bootstrapping method. Findings The results show that organizational flexibility has a positive impact on pioneering behavior, while market dynamism positively mediates this relationship. Practical implications This work provides interesting theoretical and empirical contributions for the management of firms in the tourism sector. Firms should develop capabilities to reconfigure their processes and products to adequately implement and exploit innovations generated in their organizations. In addition, tourism enterprises should improve their performance by creating new products and/or services, aligned with changes in customers' purchasing and consumption habits. Originality/value This study aims to elaborate on the background of pioneering orientation understood as a strategic stance that favors the creation and launch of new products in the market. This study also proposes that market dynamism is a factor to be considered in improving this relationship.

Factors Affecting SMEs' Intention to Adopt a Mobile Travel Application based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT-2)

This study is part of a government research project which aims to synthesise the current evidence on the factors affecting the intention of mobile application adoption called ‘Tripper Notifier Application’ (TNA) for the hospitality and tourism industrial sector in Thailand. The focus is on small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which emphasize restaurants, hotels, and attraction sites. The present article examines various factors influencing the intention to use such applications by employing the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT-2) as the theoretical underpinning of this research paradigm. Using 84 selected research papers in Scopus published between 2020 and 2022, A thematic analysis incorporating a grounded theory approach to systematically generate themes was conducted, and the findings found three main themes, including business transformation capabilities (BTC), digital transformation capabilities (DTC), and personal innovativeness (PI), as an extension of UTAUT-2 as mediator and moderator variables. To this end, the study fills the research gaps and extends the UTAUT-2 framework by including an initiative of twelve inside attributes-based lines, including performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, price value, habit behavior, behavioral intention, and use behavior, together with three moderators: age, gender, and experience. Finally, the context dimensions of the UTAUT-2 extensions were mapped to highlight all the constructs of the TNA adoption framework for future research directions. The novel contribution of this study is to fill the gap with both theoretical and practical knowledge. On the theoretical level, this study constitutes constructs based on UTAUT-2 theory as a research-based setting to fill a gap in research. On the practical level, it provides insights and information about new capabilities that SME owners, managers, and practitioners should consider in order to differentiate their own capabilities.
