其他摘要:Nowadays, Facebook is a key communication tool influencing people’s decision making. For example, people who perceive information regarding tourist attractions in Japan are likely to visit the country. Nevertheless, for a country like India, which most Thais have negative attitude, whether Facebook can influence positive attitude towards the country is still a question. This qualitative research paper reports whether perception of beautiful tourist attractions in India posted on Facebook can change Thais’ attitude and their decision toward traveling to India. An interview was conducted with eight Thai travelers in Bangkok, aged between 23-45 years. The results showed that the pictures could not immediately change the attitude towards India. Instead, the pictures help motivating these respondents to be eager to travel. In fact, we found that there are other factors that influence decision to travel, including (1) preferences, (2) motivation, (3) such countries being in the list of ideal destinations, and (4) different landscape and weather which will affect trip planning and preparation. More importantly, people who earn less than 15,000 baht or those who just start working, budget and leave allowance will be their priorities.
