Abstract

This study examined and analysed the effects of credibility, quality, positivity and negativity, ease of dissemination, and interactivity on tourism consumers' purchasing decisions. A sample of 184 local Algerian visitors was surveyed via social media using an electronic questionnaire. Statistics were used with SPSS 20 to analyse the data and assess the study's hypotheses. The findings revealed that the E-WOM had a positive, varying effect on tourism consumers' purchasing decisions, with interactivity, credibility, quality, and positivity having similar effects, but the ease of dissemination had the greatest impact.
