Abstract

During the last two decades, inbound tourism has rapidly increased in Japan. The country is prone to several natural hazards which create risk for tourists. Previous studies highlight a low level of disaster preparedness among tourists suggesting the need for developing effective disaster-specific communication strategies. Informed by psychology, consumer behavior, and decision-making theories, we test the Risk Information Seeking and Processing (RISP) Model on international tourists in Japan. This study finds differences in risk information seeking and processing across the inbound tourists from mainland China and United States. Results highlight the need for tailor-made risk communication strategies taking in consideration cross-country behavioral differences of international travelers. Limitations and opportunities for further research are also provided.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
