Abstract
ABSTRACT This study develops a theoretical model to investigate the impact of smart tourism technologies (STTs) on visitors' revisit intention using the stimulus-organism-response theory. Moreover, the moderating effects of technology readiness on the relationships among STTs, visitor engagement and memorable tourism experiences (MTEs) are further examined. The results revealed that visitor engagement and MTEs significantly mediate the relationship between STTs and visitors' revisit intention. Moreover, negative technology readiness negatively moderates the relationship between STTs and visitor engagement. The findings suggest that to enhance tourists' MTEs and revisit rate, destination marketers should reduce travelers' discomfort with and insecurity about STTs.
