Japanese immigrant has become very momentous situation in Thailand development over a decade as same as Chinese migrant movement to global migration labor. The situations have developed from economic values merge to social adaptation and 2nd generation. The implementation for this research could lead to understanding of few Japanese migrant situation studies in Thailand which relates to developments situation, social credibility, and skilled labor from 2002 until the present. The research aims (1) to find out and clarify the push and pull factors of Japanese immigrant in Thailand to indicate the Japanese migration role, (2) to analyze the role of Japanese immigrant in Thailand through nationality issues and (3) to indicate migrant management system reconstruction in Thailand in the future. This research is a critical study case of documentary research from the accessible secondary data, PEST analysis (Political with economic, society, and technology) is used to analyze in clarifying of macro push and pull factors of external concerned points with relate to government and Japanese migrant until the few studies of 2nd Japanese migrant in Thailand possibly. According to Thailand and Japan situations that might be concerned to Japanese migrant in Thailand, the long-term effect of Japanese immigrant will cultivate to Thailand society over generation in the sense of migrant management. As the first step of this study, tourists, non-immigrants, immigrants and 2nd generation of immigrants are issues compared and future approach possibly. Results of this study indicate; (1) The role of Japanese migrant push and pull factors are the essential point of development issues, (2) A few 2nd generation study of Japanese migrant in Thailand is crucial for government approach. (3) Limitation of migrant management system which relates to Japanese. Consequently, Japanese migrant increasing in Thailand; investment part to social adaptation and next generation migrant, the government should realize to reallocate the migration system such as social credibility from state/ company/ local government to Japanese migrant group. This study would strengthen linkages between Thai and Japanese sectors (investment enterprises, society, and positive diversity cultivation).

<p><b>This thesis discusses the impact of video games on the tourism motivation of Chinese video game players, focusing on the Assassin’s Creed series of games. Four research questions are considered: What is the difference between the travelers’ tourism motivations and non-travelers’ tourism motivations in Chinese Assassin’s Creed players in terms of push and pull factors?

What impact does time and frequencies of playing Assassin’s Creed have on players’ tourism motivations in terms of push and pull factors?</b></p> <p>The review of literature focuses on video game players, video games and tourism, popular culture tourism and tourism motivation. The thesis identifies gaps in knowledge about the tourism motivations of Chinese video game players, and the relationship between tourism motivations and player typologies and participation in the game (time and frequency). As non-travelers are included in the data collection, it is found that the tourism motivation of non-travelers is also a knowledge gap through reviewing literature.</p> <p>Motivational push and pull factors as the theoretical basis of this research and the study focuses on the Assassin’s Creed games series. The study uses a quantitative method and collects data through an online survey of Chinese gamers recruited through three Assassin’s Creed online communities. The first stage of data collection focused on those who had travelled to France, Italy or the UK, the locations appearing in four of the Assassin’s Creed games. 29 useable responses were collected. The second stage broadened the sample to include those gamers who had not travelled to these places (termed non-travelers). This generated 131 useable responses, making 160 respondents in total.</p> <p>For Chinese video game players, novelty was the most important push factor motivating travel to the Western European countries appearing in the Assassin’s Creed games. The location attribute was the most important pull factor. There is no difference in the reported tourism motivation of travelers and non-travelers. Comparing tourism motivations by age, sociality and location attributes were not different, however, respondents aged 18 to 25 had higher importance in novelty and game-related push and pull tourism motivation factors than older gamers. There was no significant difference between male and female players' tourism push and pull motivations. Based on gaming motivation, the respondents are divided into two types: hardcore players (having multiple gaming motivations) and casual players (play games for passing time). Hardcore players give higher importance to tourism motivations than casual players. More-involved players give higher importance to tourism push motivations relating to video game than less-involved players. In popular culture tourism research, there are few explorations related to video games. The research on video games and tourism has mainly focused on the gamification of tourism marketing and travel experience. This thesis is one of a few studies of gamers and tourism.

Purpose Peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation has become increasingly popular in recent years, and hotels are facing unprecedented impacts. Attracting new consumers and retaining existing ones are critical to the success of P2P accommodation and hotels. The purpose of this paper is to examine three categories of antecedents for hotels consumers’ switching intention: push (i.e. satiation), pull (i.e. perceived value) and mooring (i.e. optimal stimulation level) factors using push–pull–mooring (PPM) model. Design/methodology/approach Airbnb was chosen as the research context. An online survey was conducted to examine the proposed research model and hypotheses. A total of 292 valid data were collected from Airbnb users through a survey. Findings The findings show that the three categories of factors have positive and significant effects on switching intention. Additionally, the mooring factor has a significant moderating effect on the relationship between pull factors and switching intention. Furthermore, the mooring factor affects both pull and push factors. Originality/value First, this is one of the early studies to pay attention to switching intention from hotels to P2P accommodation. Second, to provide a comprehensive understanding of consumers’ switching intention, the authors use PPM model to establish the research framework. This research improves the understanding of consumer’s switching intention by identifying the push and pull factors based on the differences between hotels and P2P accommodation in accordance with optimal stimulation level theory and consumer value theory.

This paper aims to build and test the model of the relationship between push and pull factors and visitors’ loyalty to botanic park, a case of Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens in Vietnam. The previous studies were used to build and then test the model in which 185 usable responses from botanic park visitors were analyzed among 200 collected responses. The findings contribute to the current literature of park tourism by indicating that push (β = .246) and pull (β = .619) factors have a direct impact on visitors’ loyalty. The study has its implications in park management that focuses on the motivational factors and the psychological reasons why people visit botanic parks to create suitable marketing programs to target them.

Pushing And Pulling

The purpose of this study was to examine the push (i.e., socio-motivation) and pull (i.e., ski resort attribute preference) factors influencing the level of participation of leisure skiing in China. Leisure skiers ( N = 300) from a major ski resort in China participated in this study. Based on a comprehensive review of the literature and a test of content validity, a survey questionnaire was formulated to measure push and pull variables, demographic information, and ski resort participation frequency. Conducting multiple regression analyses to discover the relationship between push factors and skiing frequency, the escape factor was found to be influencing the skiing frequency most significantly ( p < .05). Four pull factors including sceneries, condition of slopes and snow, training course feature, and cost showed different demand when the demographic backgrounds of participants were taken into consideration (i.e., gender, age, skiing frequency). Discussions are centered on the theoretical and managerial implications on procedures of pushing and pulling consumers to ski resorts at large and increasing skiing participation in China.
