Abstract

As other touristic attractions, overcrowding has been an issue which threatens visitors’ satisfaction and enjoyment in theme parks. This study aims to investigate the influence of locus-of-control on crowding perceptions and their coping strategies with a mixed-method approach. Data was collected with a structured survey from theme park visitors via Amazon MTurk Platform. Results supported that visitors’ locus of control affects their crowding perceptions and coping strategies. The study provides valuable theoretical and managerial implications in order to predict visitor behaviour in crowded.
