ABSTRACT

This paper analyzes intention to visit and intentions to recommend a destination in times of a global pandemic. It is hypothesized that negative basic emotions automatically triggered by the crisis will moderate the effect of emotions elicited by cognitive evaluations about a destination differently, depending on whether the destination is one own’s country or a foreign country. Specifically, we empirically found that anger moderates the effect of admiration on both intentions to visit and intentions to engage in positive word-of-mouth. By analyzing the different appraisal tendency and type of emotions, we provide specific recommendations for marketing strategies and market segmentation.
