<strong>of</strong> tourism e-commerce websites, they also think that<br />

“behavioral intenti<strong>on</strong>” can improve “use behavior”<strong>of</strong> tourism<br />

e-commerce websites.<br />

What deserves to pay attenti<strong>on</strong> to is shown in the potential<br />

factors <strong>of</strong> website usability, the users <strong>of</strong> tourism e-commerce<br />

websites think that “Navigati<strong>on</strong>”, “Functi<strong>on</strong>ality and User<br />

promote “Behavioral Intenti<strong>on</strong>” <strong>of</strong> tourism e-commerce<br />

websites; it also thinks that “Eror Preventi<strong>on</strong> and Corecti<strong>on</strong>”<br />

will promote the “Use Behavior”<strong>of</strong> the tourism e-commerce<br />

websites. <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> result <strong>of</strong> this study also shows that the “Gender”,<br />

the tangible store market gradually, commercial studies and<br />

complete service are the very inevitable trend; through this<br />

study, <strong>on</strong>e can understand where the trend <strong>of</strong> prospective<br />

development and the directi<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> service are deeply. <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

current users are regarded as the main shaft with the assistance<br />

<strong>of</strong> foreign users’intenti<strong>on</strong>, then the latest trend <strong>of</strong> the market<br />

can be shown. This study allows the relevant service providers<br />

to understand better that what kind <strong>of</strong> service should be<br />

provided. From the perspective <strong>of</strong> government, the industry’s<br />

directi<strong>on</strong> can then be guided, so as to promote the<br />

competitiveness <strong>of</strong> the overall nati<strong>on</strong>al technology industry.<br />

From the perspective <strong>of</strong> product exploitati<strong>on</strong>, the product can<br />

be more humanized and closer to the user’s living<br />

envir<strong>on</strong>ment. Through the framework and point at issue <strong>of</strong> this<br />

study, if they can be enhanced and glorified, not <strong>on</strong>ly the<br />

current users can have much willingness to use tourism ecommerce<br />

websites, but also the unknown potential groups<br />

can also be exploited. In additi<strong>on</strong>, more novel services can be<br />

provided and the overall service scale can be expanded, so as<br />

to reach the greatest social c<strong>on</strong>tributi<strong>on</strong> and value.<br />
