Cruise tourism is currently a very popular form of travel, and the number of young passengers is increasing. To enhance the willingness of young passengers to participate in cruise tourism, cruise operators must understand the factors that affect their willingness to travel by cruise. Perceived risk has been identified as one of the factors that affect consumer purchase intention, but there have been few studies that explore cruise tourism from the perspective of perceived risk. Therefore, this study mainly investigates the perceived risks of cruise tourism from the perspective of young passengers. The results of the study show that the types of perceived risks of cruise tourism among young passengers mainly include itinerary defects, ship safety, onboard health issues, fear of terrorist attacks or war situations, and emergencies. In addition, through an analysis of mean differences, the study found significant differences in perceived risk among different genders, places of residence, and travel experiences. The results of this study not only help to understand the perceived risks of young passengers towards cruise tourism, but also provide a comprehensive conceptual framework for the perceived risks of cruise tourism and fill the knowledge gap that has not been explored in existing cruise tourism literature. |
