Miêu tả
Tóm tắt:This study aims to examine the influence of brand image as a mediator between social media marketing activity and tourist intentions to visit tourist sites in Jordan. To test the hypotheses, we utilized the partial least square method and distributed a questionnaire survey to 400 visitors, receiving 289 responses for analysis using SMART-PLS4 software. The study made significant contributions to the literature on social media marketing by developing a research model that links social media usage to brand image and shopping intention, and by using statistical techniques to quantitatively assess the effect of social media marketing activity on the brand image as a mediator. The findings exposed that word of mouth, a construct of social media, significantly positively influenced tourists' purchase intention to visit sites in Jordan. This study sheds light on the importance of social media marketing and its impact on the tourism industry in Jordan, providing useful insights for practitioners and policymakers in the field.
