A conceptual model for adoption of information communication technology in the travel and tourism industry
TLDR
In this paper, the authors provide a model that explains the ICT adoption process in the T&T industry through a combination of adoption diffusion and usage diffusion, incorporating the UD concepts of variety of use and rate of use with the perceived usefulness concept of AD.Abstract:
The tourism industry was among the early adopters of information and communication technology (ICT), such as the Computer Reservation System of the early 1950s and the adoption of Global Distribution Systems in the late 1980s. However, after several decades of ICT adoption, the degree of adoption as well as use of ICT among enterprises related to travel and tourism (T&T) has been quite uneven. The objective of this study is to provide a model that explains the ICT adoption process in the T&T industry through a combination of Adoption Diffusion (AD) and Usage Diffusion (UD). The model incorporates the UD concepts of variety of use and rate of use with the perceived usefulness concept of AD. The UD model, unlike the AD model, focuses on the extent of use rather than on the act of adoption. The model consists of three main parts, namely, determinants, user patterns and outcomes. Based on these three dimensions, adopters are categorized into eight groups: Tech-Savvy, Obligatory, Early Adopter, Focused...read more

Tourism Information Diffusion through SNSs: A Theoretical Investigation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present Tourism Information Diffusion Ecosystem (TIDE), a novel theoretical framework to help understand the system of tourism SNS information diffusion, which defines who participates in the system, what roles participants play in distributing tourist information contained within user-generated content, how content within a network is distributed, and if this usergenerated information, once diffused, has been transferred into tourists' visiting actions, and why these actions have been generated.

Trust and TAM in online shopping: an integrated model
TL;DR: Research on experienced repeat online shoppers shows that consumer trust is as important to online commerce as the widely accepted TAM use-antecedents, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, and provides evidence that online trust is built through a belief that the vendor has nothing to gain by cheating.
