Abstract

To encourage the contribution of tourism to grow from time to time, it is necessary to have a driving factor for the success of tourism. The government also relies on the number of visits from domestic tourists in increasing tourism power so it is very important for the government to pay more attention to domestic tourists. This study explores the factors influencing tourist satisfaction in local food culinary tourism sector, identifying key drivers and challenging existing assumptions. There were 242 tourists participated freely to fill online questionnaire in the study. The research highlights the importance of Perceived Quality (PQ), Costs and Risks (CR), and Gastronomy Tourist Market Assessment (GTME) as primary determinants of satisfaction. PQ emphasizes the significance of service quality and authenticity, while GTME underscores the role of market positioning in enhancing the tourist experience. Unexpectedly, CR was found to positively influence satisfaction, suggesting that moderate costs and perceived risks may enhance the appeal of culinary tourism. In contrast, Local Food Satisfaction (LFD), Destination Image (DI), Perceived Value (PV), and Tourist Expectations (TE) exhibited statistical significance but had a less pronounced practical impact on overall satisfaction. These findings contribute to the tourism satisfaction theory by emphasizing the need for context-specific models and offering actionable insights for tourism stakeholders. The study suggests that improving service quality, strategic market positioning, and finding a balance between affordability and perceived adventure can enhance the culinary tourism experience. This study introduces a novel application of tourism satisfaction theory by demonstrating the importance of contextualizing satisfaction models specifically for culinary tourism—an area often overlooked in broader tourism satisfaction research.

Abstract

This study analyses the influence of social media advertisements on consumer purchasing intentions within Malaysia's cosmetics and personal care sector, highlighting the significance of interactivity, informativeness, and trust. Considering the growing prevalence of social media in marketing, comprehending how these elements affect consumer choices is crucial for enhancing digital advertising strategies.  This research utilises a quantitative approach to evaluate consumer behaviour. Data were gathered from 384 Malaysian consumers aged 18 and older who actively interact with cosmetic and personal care brands on social media using online survey. The research employed descriptive analysis, reliability and validity assessments, and hypothesis testing to investigate the relationships among principal variables.  Research demonstrates that informativeness and trust in social media advertisements substantially increase purchase intentions, with trust acting as a vital mediator. Although interactivity enhances trust, it does not directly affect purchase intention, indicating that its influence may be contingent upon contextual variables. These findings underscore the imperative for brands to deliver transparent, reliable, and informative content to enhance consumer trust and stimulate purchasing behaviour. The study's originality is rooted in its examination of the Malaysian cosmetics and personal care market, providing practical insights for marketers to enhance social media advertising strategies. The research underscores trust as a pivotal factor, offering essential insights for brands aiming to improve their digital engagement. This study enhances the existing literature on digital marketing in emerging markets, providing practical insights for businesses seeking to improve their social media efficacy in Malaysia.
