Cultural intelligence as an antecedent of satisfaction with the travel app and with the tourism experience Coves Martínez, Ángel L. Sabiote Ortiz, Carmen María Frías Jamilena, Dolores María CQ Cultural intelligence Travel app App satisfaction Smartphones and apps exert a decisive influence on the tourism industry. However, cultural differences can be a barrier to technology-transfer and they influence all aspects of individuals' behavior. In this regard, cultural intelligence (CQ) enables individuals to deal more effectively with these differences, and those with a high CQ are more adaptable and able to cope in cultural environments other than their own. The aim of the present study is to propose and validate a model in which CQ is an antecedent of satisfaction with the travel app and with the tourism experience. Based on a sample of 243 Spanish tourists who used a travel app on their trip, the study finds that a tourist's CQ influences their satisfaction both with the app and with the tourism experience. It further demonstrates the influence of satisfaction with the travel app on satisfaction with the tourism experience. This research holds a series of implications of significant interest both for scholars and professionals in the tourism industry. 2021-12-03T10:34:30Z 2021-12-03T10:34:30Z 2022-02 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Á.L.
