In this era of abundant travel-related information, tourist decision-making processes have become increasingly complex and nonrational. This study focuses on the initiation and conclusion instances of decision-making between the pre-decision, decision-in-progress, and post-decision phases to capture the diversity of decisional behaviors. Building upon the Cyclic Model of Tourist Decision-Making, two new constructs, the Decision-Making Threshold (DMT) and Information Loop Limit (ILL), were validated with measurement tools developed, with which we empirically recognized the individual differences in the propensity to start and end decisions. Moreover, the dimensions of each construct were confirmed by incorporating the DMT for internal and external stimuli and the ILL based on cognitive capacity and willingness. The validation of the original theoretical concepts provides a basis for future research, including the examination of correlations among DMT, ILL, and other consumption-related behaviors. Four distinct decision-making segments are identified and practical implications are discussed.

重新关注游客决策的开始和结束：衡量阈值和信息循环限制

在旅游信息丰富的时代，旅游者的决策过程变得越来越复杂和非理性。本研究重点关注决策前、决策中和决策后阶段之间决策的启动和结束实例，以捕获决策行为的多样性。在旅游决策循环模型的基础上，我们使用开发的测量工具验证了两个新的构造，即决策阈值（DMT）和信息循环限制（ILL），通过这些工具，我们凭经验认识到旅游倾向的个体差异。开始和结束的决定。此外，通过结合内部和外部刺激的 DMT 以及基于认知能力和意愿的 ILL 来确认每个构建的维度。原始理论概念的验证为未来的研究奠定了基础，包括检查 DMT、ILL 和其他消费相关行为之间的相关性。确定了四个不同的决策部分并讨论了实际影响。
