Abstract

Vaţžost Interneta kao izvora informacija iz dana u dan je sve veća. Internet danas nudi pristup širokom spektru informacija, te brojne mogućnosti kao što su međusobna komunikacija, interaktivnost, kreiranje i dijeljenje informacija na globalnoj razini. Informacije potrebne potencijalnim potrošačima dostupne su 24 sata dnevno pa Internet predstavlja specifičan i jedinstven kanal za međusobnu komunikaciju povezujući na taj način potražnju potrošača i subjekte ponude u turizmu. Danas su potrošači svakodnevno prisutni na Internetu, preko web stranica dolaze do potrebnih informacija, aktivni su na različitim društvenim medijima a zahvaljujući mobilnom Internetu i pametnim telefonima te razvoju mobilnih aplikacija, u svakom trenutku imaju pristup svim željenim i potrebnim sadržajima. Kroz različite alate on-line komunikacije, potrošači imaju na raspolaganju sigurna sredstva za ostvarenje svojih ciljeva odnosno prikupljanje relevantnih informacija, rezervaciju smještaja ili kupnju prijevozničkih karata, kao i pomoć prilikom snalaženja u destinaciji i naposljetku podjelu svojih iskustava odnosno zadovoljstva destinacijom. Kroz korištenje alata on-line komunikacije potrošači mogu, štedeći vlastito vrijeme, brzo doći do relevantnih informacija ili riješiti situacijske potrebe. Glavni cilj rada je utvrditi kako korištenje pojedinog alata on-line komunikacije (web stranice, društveni mediji, mobilni web, mobilne aplikacije) od strane potrošača utječe na njihovo zadovoljstvo s odabranom destinacijom. U svrhu ostvarenja cilja provedeno je istraživanje primarnih i sekundarnih podataka. Primarno istraživanje provedeno je korištenjem on-line anketnog upitnika na prigodnom uzorku korisnika Interneta (n=100), dok je sekundarno istraživanje provedeno prikupljanjem relevantne domaće i strane literature. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju kako povećanje razine korištenja web stranica ima pozitivan utjecaj na zadovoljstvo potrošača odabranom destinacijom, kao što to imaju i informacije o destinaciji dobivene od strane obitelji, prijatelja i kolega.
