澳門面臨的挑戰是確保其旅遊業的增長與多樣化的旅遊資產組合相匹配,而不僅僅是博彩業(Nadkarni&Leong,2007)。在這方面,飲食業是非常重要的一環。飲食業對澳門旅遊市場的重要性不言而喻。但是,在以前的澳門旅遊研究中,很少有關於澳門餐飲業的文獻。
由於中國社交媒體的飛速發展,名人的影響力也在不斷增強。對於Y一代,他們在資訊時代成長,他們的消費和消費行為將受到媒體的極大影響。名人代言的產品將吸引這些人購買。因此,名人代言正日益成為許多行業(包括餐飲業)尋求擴大品牌影響力的重要途徑。但是,名人效應對餐飲業的影響很少被系統地研究。
這項研究對來自中國的25位Y世代進行了深入的採訪(從40分鐘到1個小時不等)。根據訪談和內容分析的結果,在原始模型的基礎上總結了一個新模型。這些新維度包括追求新鮮感,品牌契合度,溝通平臺和針對性別的差異化資訊。隨著研究的完成,這一新領域得以擴展。因此,對於餐飲經理來說,這項研究可以為他們的行銷提供有價值的建議。
The challenge for Macao is to ensure that its tourism’s growth is matched with a diversified portfolio of tourism assets, and not solely gaming (Nadkarni & Leong, 2007). In this, the catering industry is a very important part.The importance of the catering industry to the Macao tourism market is self-evident. However, in the previous research on Macao tourism, very few documents were about the Macao restaurant industry.
Because of the rapid development of social media in China, the influence of celebrities is growing. For the generation Y, they grew up in the information age, and their consumption and consumption behavior will be greatly affected by the media. Products endorsed by celebrities will attract these people to make purchases.Therefore,celebrity endorsements are increasingly becoming an important way for many industries to seek to expand their brand influence, including the restaurant industry. However, the impact of the celebrity effect on the catering industry is rarely systematically studied.
This study conducted in-depth interviews (ranging from 40 minutes to 1 hour) with 25 Generation Y from China. Based on the results of the interview and content analysis, a new model was summarized based on the original model. These new dimension include pursue freshness, brand fit, communication platform and differentiation message for gender . This new dimension were extended upon the completion of the research. So for catering managers, this research can provide valuable advice for their marketing.
