Abstract

Drawing on broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions, this study treats tourist pre-existing subjective well-being as an antecedent and examines its impact on the use of mobile social media (MSM) for sharing tourism experiences. The study further examines how the sharing influences on tourism experience. Data were collected from a sample of 1084 consumers who have experiences of using MSM for sharing tourism experiences. The results show that subjective well-being has a positive effect on sharing tourism experience on MSM, which further leads to the enjoyment of the digitalized tourism experience, resulting in an upward spiral effect. The study provides important implications for tourism research and practice.
