The potential for shopping to be developed as a tourism resource depends on quality, attractiveness, and safety of the shopping environment. When tourists perceive a risk in shopping, such as fraudery, harassment from the vender, or restriction of activity at the destination, this may in turn affect their purchasing behavior. Thus reducing the perception of risk in tourist shopping environments is an issue of significance for management. This paper builds on the model adapted by Yüksel and Yüksel (2007) to validate the 'risk perception-buying emotion-purchasing intention' consumer behavioral model though an investigation of tourists from Mainland China buying tea in the Alishan area. 244 tourists from Mainland China were surveyed, the results of which were tested with linear structural equation analysis. The results indicate that the perception of shopping risks by the tourists have a negative influence on purchasing emotion. Happiness or excited purchasing emotions in turn have a positive influence on willingness to purchase. This paper aims to contribute a more appropriate theoretical model of consumer behavior than the past 'risk perception-buying emotion-purchase intention' model. It will be followed by analysis of these results and suggestions for possible future research. |
