There has been a significant increase of international travelers due to the growth of the global tourism industry. As a result, Asia has become a major inbound and outbound travel market. It has been found that more and more ethnic Chinese travelers are free independent traveler (FIT) and their travel expenditure has made a significant contribution to tourism industry profit. As a result, the ethnic Chinese travelers from several Asian countries are receiving more attention from the travel industry. Therefore, this study focuses on ethnic Chinese travelers who travel as FITs. This research compares the levels of intercultural sensitivity (IS) among ethnic Chinese travelers who come from Malaysia, China, and Taiwan. Data collection in this study involves snowball sampling of ethnic Chinese travelers from these countries. A total of 353 valid samples were collected. The results show that there are four dimensions of IS: respect for cultural differences, interaction confidence, interaction attitude, and interaction engagement and attentiveness. Furthermore, IS is significantly correlated with travel experience and language ability. Participants who have higher levels of IS are those who travel frequently; have more experience traveling abroad; have experienced longer travel duration; have better language skills; and those who are married. |
