The effects of consumer behaviour on decision – making in tourism
Absract
People constantly have to make decisions at every stage of their personal lives as well as their professional activities. Consumer behavior is a complex process that encompasses decisions regarding the purchase of goods and services by individuals. Generally, this process establishes the fundamental framework to ensure consumers make purchase decisions. As consumers go through this process, they interact with various factors, including cultural influences, social environment, personal characteristics, and psychological state. These factors can influence consumers' choices, values, and purchasing decisions. Decisions reflect their past behavior and have consequential impacts on the future. Future, laden with uncertainties, constitutes the basis for all decision-making research. Because the future is uncertain, decision-makers already anticipate future conditions from today. Based on this anticipation, decision-makers can make informed decisions by eliminating uncertainty. Decision-making is a form of activity that creates uncertain future events (Dinçer, Fidan, 1996). Perhaps, decision-making is a future-oriented action and directly related to behavior (Tosun, 1986). The emergence of globalization of markets, the proliferation of alternative products, and the rapid advertising of retail channels increasingly complicate consumer decision-making (Wash, 2001). The formation of a highly developed marketing environment sees companies gaining competitive advantage precisely by considering consumer psychology and understanding the reasons behind whether consumers accept this or that decision. It is the consumer that intricately determines the structure and content of marketing.
