Augmented reality adoption intention among travel and tour operators in Malaysia: mediation effect of value alignment

Purpose – This study evaluated the determinants of augmented reality (AR) adoption in Malaysia’s travel and tour operator sectors through an integrated technology organization-environmental (TOE) and diffusion of innovation (DOI) model. Design/methodology/approach – The TOE and DOI were considered...
