Digital-free tourism, limiting tourists' access to information and communication technologies during vacation, is an emerging trend with motivations not fully understood. This study found that exhaustion from workplace information technology and off-work social network services positively influence tourists' intentions to choose digital-free tourism. Introducing technostress related constructs, this research contributes to understanding tourists' motivations for digital-free tourism.
Digital-free tourism limits tourists' access to information and communication technologies during vacation. It is an emerging trend but tourists' motivation to take digital-free tourism has not been fully understood. Anchoring on technostress literature, this study examines the effects of the exhaustion from workplace information technology and off-work social network services on tourists' intention to take digital-free tourism. Survey data involving 300 full-time working individuals show that both techno-exhaustion and social-network-services-exhaustion have positive impacts on tourists' digital-free tourism intentions. It contributes to the literature by introducing technostress related constructs in understanding tourists' digital-free tourism intentions.
