This paper explores the relationshipbetween tourists＇ perceived value （PV） of and their future intentions to creative tourism attractions. The study wasconducted at Gede Ruins in Kenya＇s North Coast targeting both international and domestic tourists visiting thearcheological site. The study systematically sampled 186 tourists who had consumed and participated in tourismactivities at departure points. The result showed that PV was a useful variable to explain customer satisfaction andpredict tourists＇ future intentions to creative tourism attractions. The findings of the study provide insight to theways tourists perceive creative attractions, and highlight the importance of creative tourism managers in providingan environment for tourists to actively engage creatively at the destination. It is suggested that creative tourismmanagers must understand why tourists want to visit creative tourism destinations, their perceptions duringconsumption and what they value after consumption, and be able to predict their future intentions.展开更多

To test this relationship and attempt to answer the research question ＂to what extent does University-level entrepreneurship education influence students＇ entrepreneurial intentions？＂ a conceptual model supported by the theory of Planned Behaviour was adopted. Data were gathered from 343 final year students at the University of Botswana using a validated Entrepreneurship Intention Questionnaire. The results provide evidence that all three immediate antecedents of entrepreneurial intention; attitude towards entrepreneurship, subjective norm and perceived behavioural control （perceived entrepreneurial abilities） directly influence entrepreneurial intention. Participation in entrepreneurship education was observed to positively influence students＇ intention to become an entrepreneur by changing their attitude towards entrepreneurship and increasing their entrepreneurial abilities. The implication is that the university curriculum should be redesigned in order to stimulate an environment that is conducive for developing positive entrepreneurial attitudes and abilities. Based on the above, it is recommended that （a） entrepreneurship education subjects be offered as core subjects in the first and final years at the University of Botswana and students＇ assessments should incorporate linking projects with small firms, （b） the University of Botswana Business Clinic should establish a venture accelerator programme by providing seed funding and an entrepreneurship-mentorship programme. Policymakers need to understand that government initiatives will affect business formations only if these initiatives affect attitudes, entrepreneurial abilities, and subjective norms, which could motivate young people to start a promising enterprise. The objective of the promotion of entrepreneurship policy in Botswana should be to increase the number of individuals considering business start-ups through more determined entrepreneurship education initiatives.展开更多

It, therefore, has drawn sustained attention both from the government and the academics. By empirical research, a conceptual relationship model has been established of rural image and behavior intentions of tourists. The general rural image in rural tourism is comprised of rural scenery, rural architecture and rural culture image. Furthermore, the overall rural image has a positive effect on tourists' willingness to pay a premium price, to recommend and to repeat purchase. At the end of this paper, reasonable suggestions have been proposed for rural image enhancement aimed to promote the attractiveness of rural tourism, and to enhance the tourists' positive behavior intentions.展开更多

As consumer information search and release gradually shift from offline to online, online reviews of products havebecome more valuable. Research shows that most online shoppers view online reviews from product users before purchasing. Asone of the most important forms of spreading awareness, online product reviews has an increasing impact on customer purchasedecisions and has gradually become an urgent issue in network marketing research. This phenomenon impels businesses to realizethat online reviews significantly affect trading volume. Businesses have attempted to manipulate online reviews by providing asignificant number of positive comments that could lead to consumer confidence and purchase of products. Internet users inChina are more interested in reading negative comments compared with the rest of the global Internet users. Thus, the effects ofstructural characteristics of potential customers, negative attitudes, and behavioral intentions have not yet aroused global concernbecause this phenomenon has been limited to the local scale.Based on literature, the main objective of negative online reviews is the positioning of fashion products.

Negative online reviewsof clothing and accessories sold online and their influence on consumer purchase intention and attitudes are analyzed. The studyaims to confirm that negative online reviews have an effect on consumer purchase intention, attitudes, and behaviors. Moreover,buying attitudes influence behavior intention.展开更多
