    Is the Tour Leader an Effective Endorser for Group Package Tour Brochures?

    Tourism Management 23 (2002) 489–498 Is the tour leader an effective endorser for group package tour brochures? Kuo-Ching Wanga,*, An-Tien Hsiehb, Wen-Yu Chenc a Department and Graduate School of Tourism Management, Chinese Culture University, Taipei, Taiwan, ROC b College of Business, Chinese Culture University, Taipei, Taiwan, ROC c Graduate Institute of Management Science, Ming-Chuan University, Taipei, Taiwan, ROC Received 15 July 2001; accepted 4 November 2001 Abstract In many Asian countries and areas, such as Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, and China, etc., group package tour is one of the main modes of outbound travel. Several studies have highlighted the important role played by tour leaders in group package tours; they are considered to be indispensable by the tourists themselves and their presentation can make or break a tour. Previous studies have mainly used celebrities, experts, CEOs, and consumers as endorsers for advertising. However, few empirical studies have examined how the advertising effectiveness would be changed if tour leader is used as endorsers for group package tour brochures. This study adopts an epistemological perspective towards extending the limited research on the impact of tour leaders used in advertising as endorsers. A rigorous experimental design was employed; nine experimental groups were included, in total, 844 student subjects participated in the study. The results showed that tour leaders as endorsers for group package tour brochures had a more positive advertising effectiveness than the traditional brochure design and CEO as an endorser elicited higher purchase intention than tour leader as endorser. Implications for managers and scholars are discussed and suggestions for the direction of future study and practice are also provided.

    Shockey 2018 Catalog 72.Pdf

    TRAVEL TREASURES 2018 SEE AMERICA COAST TO COAST Dear Friends, What a change time makes in modern day travel. Growing up in the 1960’s and 70’s my parents seldom ventured beyond our hometown of Louisville, Ky. On occasion we would visit some relatives in Portland, Tn. but most often Eastview, Ky. was our “vacation” destination of choice. Tere my Dad’s parents lived on a farm with plenty of felds, woods, clean springs to drink water from, and barns to play in. In the evening we could watch westerns on the black and white TV screen. I could only dream of one day possibly getting to go out west. Guess what? Tis year my wife Donna and I did just that. We went on the Black Hills-Grand Tetons-Canadian Rockies Tour in August. Words can’t describe how great this trip was. Te wonder and beauty of God’s grace through this North American creation, what has sometimes been called breathtaking, is no joke. Lots to see and do, if ever possible give this tour a try. It was beyond my dreams. Our desire for you (our Shockey friends) would be to look through this 2018 catalog and maybe fnd a tour of your dreams and become venturous enough to fulfll it. Life is too short not to. Travel is easy, exciting, and relaxing with Shockey Tours. We can provide you with a worry-free vacation, one that ofers you the comfort of having a trained professional guide to care for you within the security of a group, and our professional drivers and comfortable coaches will ensure you the most pleasant trip possible.
