Destination attributes and tourist behavior intention in visiting attraction in the province of Camarines Sur: Inputs for action plan

Abstract

Interestingly, there has been an observed response’ significant differences. It therefore suggests that various age groups deemed information and communication in terms of the subject matter in the study diversely and differently. Whilst, highlighting that the age group 18-25 as having the high assessment on the indicator. The law of use and atrophy applies on this matter as since the age group 18-25 years are more likely to engage to modern ICT, they are more likely to score high on the indicator. Whereas, the age group who do not necessitate the current ICT could label this as ‘useless’ hence marking a relatively low score on such indicator. The result is unsurprising given the fact that this age range belongs to the millennial generation and the generation Z. More so, this age group is found to be more literate when it comes to utilizing information and communication technology. Because of this, it has expedited the assessment, and as well as polish the information learning and communication process. The information age is primarily the age of techy-savvy teens. Wood (2013) believed that Generation Z, whose born between 1990s and early 2000s are characterized by wide use of digital platforms. Szymkowiak et al. (2021) argued that Gen Z gathers data from the internet as it is easily accessible. That is why, the new generation are mainly after the destination’s utilization of information and communications. They are being prompted by the idea that modern technologies can be an avenue to increase their knowledge about the destinations they intend to visit.
