Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effects of electronic word-of-mouth (e-WOM) on tourists’ travel intentions. Research Methodology:  The researchers collected 302 data points using a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire. For this study, a descriptive research technique or methodology was used based on quantitative data. The sampling method was a non-probabilistic convenience sampling method. The SPSS 26.0 version was used for descriptive statistics analysis, reliability testing, and regression analysis. Results: Four independent variables out of five (positive online reviews, negative online reviews, source credibility, and e-WOM quality) had a favorable impact on travelers' plans to travel. Only one variable (e-WOM quality) had no favorable results. Limitations: The study's use of a non-probability convenience sampling strategy was constrained to a certain limited geographic area. There were also issues related to time and money in this investigation. Contribution: This research will help travel organizations understand and acknowledge e-WOM and its significance, as well as develop strategies to manage its effects. In addition, it will help tourists select their tour destinations. Novelty: This study addresses the impact of e-WOM on tourist decision making and explains the complex factors that affect tourists’ decisions to visit a tourist place.

Abstract

Purpose: The study aimed to inquire about the factors influencing E-WOMs in the restaurant business: Evidence from Bangladesh. Research Methodology: Quantitative research was conducted and the study used descriptive research methodology. 161 data points were gathered from Bangladeshi customers using a standardized questionnaire and an online purposive sampling technique. The partial least square structural method was used to analyze the data and test the hypotheses. Sampling Technique: The probability sampling technique was chosen for this study. An online questionnaire is coherent with the conditions of this study, which focuses on a person who visited a restaurant. Data Analysis: SmartPLS software version 3.0 was used to analyze the data. Structural equation modeling was used to validate the study's conceptual model (SEM). Cronbach’s Alpha coefficients and Composite Reliability (CR) are used to determine the reliability. Besides, discriminant validity is used to test the Fornell-Larcker Criterion. Results: PLS-SEM demonstrated that positive reviews, negative reviews, trust, food and service quality, and source credibility had significant effects on E-WOMs in the restaurant business in Bangladesh. Limitation: This study focused only on the Bangladeshi restaurant business. Contribution: The study helped the authorities conduct their restaurant business by considering these factors, positive reviews, negative reviews, trust, food and service quality, and source credibility.
