In Taiwan, overseas tourism and business travel have grown significantly in recent years, and tourists purchase a variety of souvenirs and travel goods when they return home after a trip. While past studies have examined the influence of attitude (ATT), subjective norms (SN), and perceived behavioral control (PBC) on purchase intention, few have investigated the influence of word-of-mouth (WOM) on these factors. However, it is thought that tourists' participation in WOM communication significantly influences their purchase intention with mediation from ATT, SN, and PBC. Therefore, by conducting interviews and surveys, this study explored the qualitative and quantitative two-stage behavioral factors of tourists buying souvenirs and incorporated the WOM communication factor into the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to understand consumer behavior based on WOM. The research results offer suggestions to help understand the application of extended TPB and provide appropriate marketing advice for both local and foreign tourism manufacturers and distributors for the development of marketing strategies and next-stage research. |
