“Better Not Let Me Know”: The Mediating Role of Regret on the Relation Between Social Comparison Discrepancy in Online Hotel Review and Revisit Intention

Online review is powerful in influencing tourists’ travel decision. However, understanding of how online reviews affect tourist emotion and decision at the post-trip stage is limited. The present study examines whether encountering travel experiences shared on social media by other users with disparity in the cost of same accommodation after a trip will cause regret and alter the intention to revisit from a retrospective point of view. Drawing from the experimental study, the result showed that regret mediates the negative effect of comparison discrepancy (in the case of differences in the paid room rate) on intention to stay in the hotel again. The current study of the effects of social comparison on revisit intention adds to the literature and establishes the groundwork for future scholarly work on post-trip online review management. Meaningful implications and strategies are recommended to online review platform and hotel marketing management.

Georgetown as a Gastronomy Tourism Destination

Nasi Kandar is one of the most favourable delicacies for tourists when visiting Penang. However, the hygiene level in most of Nasi Kandar restaurants has slumped lately. Thus, the purpose of this study is to describe the relationship between visitor awareness towards revisit intention to Nasi Kandar restaurants. Three hundred eighty-four respondents from Penang Island were accessed using a simple random sampling. The results revealed that there is a positive relationship between visitor awareness and revisit intention. Price and service eventually give a strongly positive impact towards revisit intention. This result will help the local authorities to increase the quality and hygiene of Nasi Kandar in Penang, hence bring more tourists to visit this tourism destination.

Reporting Inpatients’ Experiences and Satisfaction in a National Psychiatric Facility: A Study Based on the Random Forest Algorithm

Understanding psychiatric inpatients’ experiences is important to establish a culture of patient-centric care and promote trust in healthcare. This study aimed to evaluate nine dimensions of patients’ experiences and investigate their association with patient satisfaction, revisit intention, and positive word-of-mouth (WoM) recommendation. Cross-sectional questionnaire data from five years of surveying (2016–2020) in the main psychiatric hospital in Bahrain were statistically analyzed, involving 763 psychiatric inpatients with an overall 65.6 ± 17.2 length of stay (days). The findings show that across the five years 2016–2020, the overall reported satisfaction was “very high” (4.75 ± 0.44) with no significant differences between these five years (F [4, 758] = 0.66, p = 0.620). The experience of confidentiality received the highest rating (4.72 ± 0.45). The experiences of ease of access, hospitality quality, and quality of responsiveness to one's needs significantly correlated with revisit intention ( p ˂ 0.05). Patients with high satisfaction had greater potential for revisit intention (r [761] = 0.08, p = 0.027), which was associated with WoM recommendation (r [761] = 0.08, p = 0.033). Overall, men were less likely than women to experience convenient access to psychiatric wards. The findings of the Random Forest algorithm indicate the tendency of female patients with short-term stays to demonstrate lower satisfaction rates, and thus innovative approaches are needed when managing these groups’ psychiatric problems.

Effects of Destination Image on Revisit Intention: The Intermediate Role of Satisfaction & Words of Mouth (Empirical Evidence in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam).

Most of the tourist destinations are facing tourist loyalty and expanding market share. Research on factors influencing visitor satisfaction and revisit intention to the tourist destination has not been given sufficient attention, especially the relationship between destination image and satisfaction, word of mouth, and revisit intention. This is a challenging problem for tourism researchers and managers. This study uses a survey of 350 domestic tourists staying at least 3 days in the city and applying a structural modeling approach in the analysis. The results reveal that factors of the destination image positively impact satisfaction, word of mouth, and revisit intention. Components of the destination image include (i) Cognitive image; (ii) Affective images; and (iii) Tangible images.
