Hotel Feedback Systems
• Reviews are a key component of hotel
management (Leung, Law, Van Hoof &
Buhalis; 2013)
• Reviews are an important source of
information for consumer decision
making (Ye, Law, Gu & Chen; 2011)
• A 1 point swing on Travelocity’s five-point
rating scale on average sways room rates
by 11% (Anderson, 2012)

Video Feedback
• Online video has exploded; predicted to
represent 82% of internet traffic by
2019 (Cisco, 2015)
• 68% of adults in the United States
adults own a smartphone (Anderson,
2015)
• consumers are 67% more likely to make
a hotel booking when a video tour is
available (Hotelmarketing.com, 2014)
• Almost 100% text based, limited
innovation and change.
ENTER 2017 Research Track Slide Number 7
Our Experiment
Research Vision
Video represents a new approach which could
improve existing online hotel guest review
systems.
Research Goal
Our goal is to provide an audio/video alternative
to text reviews and evaluate the authenticity,
believability, trustworthiness and business value
of that alternative system
ENTER 2017 Research Track Slide Number 8

ENTER 2017 Research Track Slide Number 12
Survey Results (n=52)
• 62% often or always use reviews when
selecting a hotel
• 73% had never posted a review for a hotel
prior to the study
• 60% agreed that they would post a video
review if it was an option in the future
ENTER 2017 Research Track Slide Number 13
Observations
• Most participants were familiar with using
touch interfaces, and interacting with a
computer video camera
• No correlation in a guest’s likelihood to use
or post online video reviews in the future
• The theoretical contribution is the
evaluation of the collected data and
analysis to provide content for the second
phase of the study
ENTER 2017 Research Track Slide Number 14
Phase 2
Assess the differences between text and
video versions of the same feedback.
Participants in Phase II will evaluate:
– Believability (Beltramini and Evans, 1985)
– Trustworthiness and Authenticity (Deutsch,
1960)
ENTER 2017 Research Track Slide Number 15
