“…In addition, tourists' perceptions of natural disasters and travel risk differ depending on gender (Darley and Smith 1995;Loker-Murphy and Pearce 1995;Carr 2001;Lepp and Gibson 2003). While Sönmez and Graefe (1998) found no gender differences in perceived risk, Mattila et al (2001) found gender differences in health risk. Lepp and Gibson (2003) report that men are less concerned about health and food-related risks than women.…”

"Awesome" is one of the most highly desirable experiences for tourists. This study investigates how tourists' awe emotion is induced when tourists visit sacred mountains and how the awe experience influences their satisfaction. A survey is administrated at a famous sacred mountain in China-Mount Emei. Results reveal that the awe experience is more elicited by the perceived vastness of natural environment for secular tourists, while is more encouraged by the perceived sanctity of religious ambience for pilgrim tourists. Awe experience is a mediator between the sense of perceptual vastness/sanctity and tourists' satisfaction. The mediation relationships through awe experience are moderated by the visitor types (pilgrims and secular tourists). Findings suggest that destination marketers should apply tourism strategies to encourage tourists' sense of awe.

They examine the impact of religion (and gender) on the behavior of college students during spring break holidays.…”

Terms of use: Documents in Abstract:In this paper we discuss the effects of cultural -and particular religious -factors on tourist flows into the USA as the world largest tourism destination. To estimate this empirically we run an augmented gravity equation. Our results give evidence that the gravity equation is an adequate instrument to explain variations in international tourist flows. With respect to the aim of the paper, we have found that cultural proximity between country of origin and country of destination have positive effects on the tourism flows between these countries. In particular, after controlling for a set of geographic variables, people from countries with the same language (English) and the same high governmental rankings like the USA, travel more into the USA for holiday than people from other countries. Above all, we have clear and stable evidence that tourists from Christian countries prefer the USA as holiday destination much stronger than people from other countries. This supports our argument that people wishing to go on holiday to countries with a similar cultural and political background.
