Abstract(s)
A evolução da Internet e das redes sociais tem vindo a
provocar alterações na forma como se comunica, interage e
influencia outros indivíduos, pois, é nas redes sociais que é
produzido e partilhado conteúdo. O Instagram é considerado
uma das redes sociais mais utilizadas pela geração y, e, na qual
estão presentes influenciadores. Os influenciadores podem
alcançar uma vasta audiência, como é o caso dos macro
influenciadores, ou uma audiência mais específica,
nomeadamente os micro influenciadores, na medida em que
têm a capacidade de proporcionar sensações de identificação
nos seus seguidores e, por isso, afetam o seu comportamento e
atitudes. Também a autenticidade e a credibilidade
percecionadas de um influenciador impactam o
comportamento dos seus seguidores. Na verdade, verifica-se
que as experiências turísticas assim como as escolhas de um
viajante em relação a um destino turístico são impactadas não
só pelo conteúdo que é produzido por amigos e familiares
como também pelo que é partilhado pelos influenciadores nas
redes sociais. Este estudo tem como objetivo geral
compreender o impacto que os influenciadores têm sobre as
escolhas da geração y em relação a destinos turísticos. Neste
sentido, recorre a um tipo de pesquisa quantitativa, uma
abordagem experimental e utiliza um questionário como
ferramenta de pesquisa. Os resultados obtidos confirmam que
o comportamento da geração y é impactado relativamente à
autenticidade, credibilidade e tipologia de influenciador
percecionadas, o que vai de acordo com a teoria inicialmente
defendida.
