dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study was to assess the risk perception of domestic tourists visiting volatile destinations such as the Kashmir valley (India) and reveal the impact of various types of perceived risk on destination loyalty formulation. A quantitative research/deductive approach has been adopted for two reasons: (1) to ensure the objectivity, generalisability, and reliability of research findings; and (2) to develop hypotheses based on an existing theory and then collect data to determine whether empirical evidence to support those hypotheses exists. The current study used a convenience sampling method for collecting data from 413 domestic tourists using a self-administered questionnaire. Furthermore, the two-step approach for structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to assess the psychometric properties of the measurement model and test the proposed structural model. The results revealed that all the five types of perceived risks (socio-psychological, political, performance, financial, and physical) negatively affect tourists' destination loyalty, with socio-psychological risk and political risk emerging as major determinants of loyalty intention of domestic tourists. Moreover, the descriptive analysis revealed that the mean perception of domestic tourists on various risk dimensions was low, and they disagreed that Kashmir is a risky place to visit.es_ES
dc.description.abstractEl objetivo de este estudio es valorar la percepción de riesgo de los turistas internos al visitar destinos inestables como el Valle de Cachemira (India) y revelar el impacto de varios tipos de riesgos percibidos en la lealtad al destino. Se ha adoptado un enfoque cuantitativo y deductivo por dos razones: (1) para asegurar la objetividad, generalizabilidad y fiabilidad de los resultados; y (2) para elaborar hipótesis basadas en una teoría existente y luego recoger datos que prueben si la evidencia empírica corrobora dichas hipótesis. El estudio actual ha utilizado un muestreo de conveniencia para obtener datos de 413 turistas internos mediante un cuestionario autoadministrado. Además, el enfoque de dos pasos para el modelo de ecuaciones estructurales (SEM) se ha usado para evaluar las propiedades psicométricas del modelo de medida y comprobar el modelo estructural propuesto. Los resultados revelan que los cinco tipos de riesgo percibido (socio-psicológico, político, de desempeño, financiero y físico) afectan negativamente la lealtad de los turistas al destino, siendo los riesgos socio-psicológico y político los principales determinantes de dicha lealtad. El análisis descriptivo revela además que la percepción de varias dimensiones de riesgo por parte de los turistas internos es baja, y no consideran Cachemira un destino de riesgo.
