Nowadays,as social networks continue to penetrate daily life,few studies have paid
attention to the impact of tourist generated content on online social platforms on travel intention.Based
on the SOR theoretical model,this article discusses the process of promoting tourism intention through
cognitive evaluation of perceived trust and perceived usefulness under the stimulation of tourist-
generated content in online social platforms.By surveying 303 tourists,we analyzed how tourist-
generated content affected travel intention.The results of regression analysis show that the richness,
timeliness,interactivity and entertainment of tourist-generated content in online social platforms have
significant direct effects on travel intention.There are also indirect effects through perceived trust and
perceived usefulness.This research enriches the results of the research field of tourist-generated
content,and also provides some guidance and suggestions for social network marketing strategies in the
tourism industry.
