Sharing Economy, Motivations of consumption, CouchSurfing, Brazil, Portugal.Abstract
Tourism is one of the areas most affected by the shared economy through organizations such as CouchSurfing, AirBnb and BeLocal Exchange. The aim of this article was to propose a theoretical model to identify the consumption history of CouchSurfing from the perspective of guest consumers. For this, a study with a quantitative approach was carried out, comparing the reality of this type of accommodation in Brazil and Portugal. A survey was conducted with 421 people from Brazil and 408 from Portugal who have already used CouchSurfing as guests. As a method of data analysis, basic descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modeling analysis were used. The results of the multigroup analyzes of the study indicated similarities and differences between the samples from Brazil and Portugal. The similarities were that, in both, the hypotheses that the Performance Expectation, the Co-creation Perception, the Anti-Industry Perspective and the Perceived Risk are related to the Intention to Use were supported.
