Abstract
This study examined the relationship between hotel customers’ behavior intention and selection attributes of online hotel reservation channels. The type of online hotel reservation channels was first investigated, and customers’ selection attributes were reviewed through previous literature. Then, online surveys were administrated, and the responses toward selection attributes of online hotel reservation channels, behavior intention, and demographic information were collected. A total of 298 responses were used for the analyses. The results showed that trust, ease of use, information/content, and customer service, which were the selection attribute of hotel customers’ online hotel reservation channels, had positive effects on the customers’ reuse intention. Also, information/content, promotion, and customer service were found to have positive effect on the customers’ recommendation and word-of-mouth intention. However, no significant difference was found in responses of reservation channel selection attribute and behavior intention according to the reservation channel types. It is noticeable that this study reports the latest information about online hotel reservation channels. This study also provides viable and practical recommendations for management of online hotel reservation channels such as homepage and mobile applications.
