“…The most frequently used methods are the Granger causality test and co-integration analysis, and the main criticism faced by the TLG and TKIG studies is their reliance on the Granger causality test, which only represents the secessionist's view of causation and does not necessarily suggest the real cause-effect relationship (Song, Dwyer, Li, & Cao, 2012). Other studies are based on neoclassical economic growth theory and the augmented Solow model, including tourism proxies as a separate input factor or international inbound tourism as a component of exports into this model, which is rather questionable.…”

“…The impact of tourism in the economic growth of countries and local destinations has been widely confirmed (Song, Dwyer, & Cao, 2012;Tugcu, 2014;Webster & Ivanov, 2014), causing competition among countries in the tourism industry (Dwyer et al, 2009;Molina, Frías-Jamilena, & Castañeda-García, 2013). In the case of Greece, travel and tourism contributes 7.0% of GDP directly, leading to a total contribution of 17.3% to the national economic performance, directly supporting 340,500 jobs (9.4% of total employment) and generating 12.2 billion euros of invisible exports (24.5% of total exports) in 2014 (World Travel & Tourism Council, 2015).…”

Destination images, holistic images and personal normative beliefs: Predictors of intention to revisit a destination

et al. 2016

This research examines the complex relationship between components of images of destinations and behavioral intentions, incorporating two pivotal constructs that have not been explored in the related literature, namely holistic image and personal normative beliefs (PNBs). Previous studies incorporating destination images as predictors of intention to revisit have mostly investigated their direct effect. This research integrates holistic image as a mediator and PNBs as a moderating variable. The findings verify the mediating role of holistic image for predicting tourists’ intentions to revisit a destination, supporting a model that incorporates a partial effect and two indirect mediations. Interestingly, only affective and conative images contribute to the prediction of tourists’ intentions to revisit a destination through the holistic image towards this destination. Moreover, PNBs moderate the effect that conative destination images have on tourists’ holistic images. Practically, the research sheds light to factors that affect tourists' tendency to select a tourism destination, which can serve as a basis for tailoring the effective positioning of destinations

“…Tourism studies have adopted a multi-disciplinary approach integrating many social disciplines, including economics, in order to gain a better understanding of tourism related issues, such as tourism demand. This is reflected in the bulk of the research published on tourism demand determinants (Song, Dwyer, Li & Cao, 2012).…”

“…This climate could have possibly created spillover effects on consumers' mood and their spending behavior, especially towards luxury goods, such as tourism. The tourism literature has already started to investigate market interdependences in outbound tourism from one origin country to multiple source markets, an area of research that is developing in response to the recent crisis (Song et al, 2012).…”

We investigate spillover effects from sentiment and mood shocks on US outbound tourism demand from 1996 until 2013. We use the Index of Consumer Sentiment and Economic Policy Uncertainty Index as proxies for sentiment and the S&P500 as a proxy for mood. We find a moderate to high interrelationship among sentiment, mood and outbound tourism demand. More importantly, sentiment and mood indicators are net transmitters of spillover shocks to outbound tourism demand. The magnitude of spillover effects sourced by sentiment and mood is time-varying and depends on certain socio-economic and environmental events. Our results have important implications for policymakers and travel agents in their efforts to predict tourism arrivals from key origin countries and to plan their tourism strategy.
