“…This study's conceptual model is based on the stimulus‐organism‐response (SOR) model proposed by Mehrabian and Russell (1974). The SOR model is widely employed in tourism and agriculture (Jani & Han, 2014; Kim et al, 2018; Lee & Yun, 2015; Rajaguru, 2013; Rodríguez‐Torrico et al, 2019; Su & Swanson, 2017) to explain that an environmental stimulus (S) elicits a conscious and emotional reaction from a consumer (O), and this emotional reaction triggers the corresponding behavioral response (R) (Björk et al, 2010; Kani et al, 2017; Manthiou et al, 2016).…”

“…Concerning the response factors, in previous studies, purchase intention (Rodríguez-Torrico et al, 2019;Wu et al, 2013), behavioral intention (Flavi an et al, 2019), and revisit intention (Jani & Han, 2014) have been employed. In this study, online organic agricultural product purchase intention and rural health tourism intention are attributed as the response factors.…”

The coronavirus disease (COVID‐19) outbreak has raised consumer concerns about health. By employing 306 online questionnaires, we identify COVID‐19's effect on online organic agriculture product consumption and rural health tourism intention based on stimulus‐organism‐response theory and event system theory by incorporating risk information disclosure of COVID‐19 as the moderating variable and health consciousness and risk perception as the mediating variables. These findings suggest that considering the impact of COVID‐19 can help focus the production and online sales of organic agricultural products, the establishment and improvement of rural health facilities, and the marketing of rural health tourism.

“…It is suggested that, attachment is a crucial predictor of consumer behavioural intention (Yen et al, 2018;Yi et al, 2018). Previous studies have considered attachment as a direct precursor of consumer behavioural intention (Hosany et al, 2016;Kil et al, 2012;Rodríguez-Torrico et al, 2019). Additionally, attachment to Airbnb is a crucial factor that may influence consumers' behavioural intentions (Badrinarayanan and Becerra, 2019).…”

Purpose Airbnb has emerged as one of the most prominent examples of sharing economy platforms in the tourism industry. The growing popularity of Airbnb among tourists has boost revenue in the accommodation rental industry. Considering its significant impact on tourism industry growth, this paper aims to shed some light on guests’ booking intentions on Airbnb, Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach A web-based survey was designed to collect the data, which yielded 174 usable and valid responses. Structural equation modelling, partial least square technique was used to analyse the data. Findings The results confirmed that Airbnb’s reputation and guests’ unique experience expectation positively affect guests’ attachment to Airbnb, which, in turn, drives guest booking intention. However, price consciousness did not exert any effect on guests’ attachment to Airbnb. Practical implications The findings of this study will equip Airbnb managers, accommodation platform owners and service providers in developing appropriate marketing plans and strategies to better understand the implications of both internal and external causes that may lead to guests’ intention to book their accommodations. Originality/value This research has its merits in adding value to the tourism literature by understanding the drivers of guests’ booking intentions on Airbnb. Furthermore, the study findings contribute to the existing literature by investigating few new linkages such as the role of guests’ attachment to Airbnb as a mediator between guests’ unique experience expectation, price consciousness, reputation and guests’ booking intention.

“…Most of these characteristics relate to the findings and trends identified in the previous subsections and have a particularly strong impact on the implementation of tourism promotion. Tourism is becoming a highly personalized activity; therefore, tourist organizations have an excellent opportunity to use big data to learn about travel habits and needs of potential guests, and then offer customized services with an appropriate online shopping experience; mobility does not positively influence purchase intentions per se (Chuang, 2019), but only if the content is useful and adjusted to the context (Rodríguez-Torrico et al, 2019). Such targeting and personalization are becoming important digital priorities, which, of course, require web page adjustments.…”

Mobile technologies have drastically changed the way people do everyday activities. Tasks previously reserved for desktop environments have moved to mobile devices, and nowadays, half of the internet traffic is stemming from mobile devices. The tourism industry is no exempt from the shift from desktop to mobile. In our research, we check to what extent natural health resorts have adapted and integrated mobile solutions to their websites. We collected data about the friendliness of selected websites using automated online tools and carried out a heuristic evaluation. The results were statistically analyzed and compared. Only roughly half of natural health resorts have optimized their websites for mobile devices. There are no statistically significant differences when comparing purely technical aspects. However, an in-depth heuristic evaluation has shown that some web sites are significantly more mobile-friendly than others and offer better technical conditions for enhanced user experience. Our study is the first technical and contentual evaluation of website mobile devices' friendliness in the natural health resort sector. It warns management, their marketing consultants, and web site developers about the opportunities they are missing by not supporting mobile users sufficiently. Further, it outlines deficiencies and provides suggestions and instructions for optimizing websites to enhance user-friendliness on mobile devices.
