• The influence of perceived credibility on purchase intention via competence and authenticity (2020, background): “Due to this specificity, researchers have usually examined a specific type of competence such as online competence (Kim et al., 2013), e-commerce competence (Hong and Cho, 2011), and risk-management competence (Williams and Baláž, 2013).”
• Residents’ perceived risk, emotional solidarity, and support for tourism amidst the COVID-19 pandemic (2021, background): “…tourists generally avoid destinations or activities they see as overly risky to their physical or social well-being (Sönmez et al., 1999; Uriely & Belhassen, 2006) or hedge against risks via information search (Maser & Weidermair, 1998) and safety nets (e.g. insurance) (Williams & Balaz, 2013).”
• Accommodation decision-making during the COVID-19 pandemic: Complexity insights from Greece (2020, unknown): “…dynamic information, tourists’ predispositions towards risk as well as the inhibitors and triggers of their decision-making have been well addressed in the international literature (e.g. Lepp and Gibson, 2008; Ritchie, 2008; Silva et al., 2010; Sönmez and Graefe, 1998; Williams and Balaz, 2013).”
• Risk Perception Study in Tourism: Are we Really Measuring Perceived Risk? (2014, background): “Similarly, tourism is service in nature and thereupon it inherits the intangibility, heterogeneity, perishability, and inseparability characteristics from services (Mitchell & Greatorex, 1993a; A. M. Williams & Baláž, 2013).”
• Risk and Uncertainty in Travel Decision-Making: Tourist and Destination Perspective (2018, background): “The third item directly refers to safety and security levels at a destination with risk-taking propensity as a theoretical concept (Williams and Baláž 2013) and derived from a study conducted by Hajibaba et al. (2015) on crisis-resistant tourists who decide to visit a destination despite safety…”
• Developing a Scale to Measure Tourist Perceived Safety (2021, background): “In addition, the features of intangibility, perishability, and inseparability of services exacerbate the safety of tourism activities (Mitchell and Greatorex 1993; Williams and Baláž 2013).”
