Abstract:

With the development of tourism websites, more and more tourists make travel decisions based on the comments on Ctrip. This paper constructs a theoretical model of tourists' behavior intention in desert tourism areas based on information features of Ctrip comments, and conducts a confirmative factor analysis on the theoretical model by using the tourism review data of Xiangshawan on Ctrip through questionnaire survey and structural equation model. The results show that: (1) The quality characteristics and valence characteristics of online reviews positively affect tourists' behavioral intentions. (2) The quality characteristics and valence characteristics of online reviews positively affect the credibility of reviews. (3) Review credibility has a positive impact on tourists’ behavioral intention. (4) Rating credibility is the mediating variable between rating quality, rating valence and tourists' behavioral intention. The study puts forward relevant suggestions for the marketing management of desert tourism areas, so as to improve the credibility of desert tourism scenic spots in the minds of tourists, increase the rate of visitors, and provide a new perspective for the local economic development.

Key words: online review, comment information characteristics, reliability, tourists' behavior intention, structural equation
