Abstract
AbstractThis study investigates the acceptance of blockchain technology in the tourism industry, focusing on the role of intention and trust in influencing its acceptance. Through a literature review and quantitative analysis using regression analysis, key factors catalyzing the acceptance of blockchain technology in tourism were identified. Notably, individuals engaged in travel for entertainment showed lower intention to accept blockchain solutions. Trust in this technology within the tourism industry is observed to stem from individuals with prior experience in its usage. The research offers valuable insights for scholars studying blockchain technology in tourism and for enterprises and organizations seeking to embrace innovative solutions for enhancing operational efficiency. Moreover, nationality emerges as a potentially influential factor, warranting further exploration in future studies. Overall, this study contributes to the understanding of the potential of blockchain technology in tourism and provides insights for enterprises and organizations seeking to adopt innovative solutions.
