Signalling effects on symbolic status and travellers' well-being in the luxury cruise industry
Signalling effects on symbolic status and travellers' well-being in the luxury cruise industry
The purpose of this research is to examine the role of signalling effects of reputation and credibility on luxury cruise travellers' well-being and the mediating role of symbolic status (i.e., prestige and authentic pride). This study also explores the moderation effects of socio-economic status and past experiences. The results demonstrate noteworthy effects of reputation on prestige, authentic pride, and, subsequently, on travellers' well-being. The results also reveal the moderating role of socio-economic status between authentic pride and well-being. In addition, the results find significant differences between low- and high-experience groups in three relationships: reputation and prestige, credibility and prestige, and reputation and authentic pride.

Abstract
The purpose of this research is to examine the role of signalling effects of reputation and credibility on luxury cruise travellers' well-being and the mediating role of symbolic status (i.e., prestige and authentic pride). This study also explores the moderation effects of socio-economic status and past experiences. The results demonstrate noteworthy effects of reputation on prestige, authentic pride, and, subsequently, on travellers' well-being. The results also reveal the moderating role of socio-economic status between authentic pride and well-being. In addition, the results find significant differences between low- and high-experience groups in three relationships: reputation and prestige, credibility and prestige, and reputation and authentic pride.
