Özet
Tourists’ interactions significantly influence the tourism experience, yet negative interactions remain under-researched. This study examines the emotional and behavioural outcomes of negative tourist-to-tourist interactions in five-star hotels in Istanbul, applying Affective Events Theory (AET). Data from face-to-face surveys were analysed using PLS-SEM. Findings reveal that negative interactions negatively affect tourist happiness (TH), with direct and indirect interactions increasing cultural distance, while property-directed interactions do not. TH directly and indirectly influences post-consumption behavioural intentions (PCBI), moderated by perceived justice (PJ). This study advances AET in tourism, offering insights for hotel managers to enhance perceived justice and address negative interactions effectively.
