A Study on the Tourism-Related Information Consumption Process of Tourists on Social Networking Sites

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The paper is very well written. I would suggest at the 4.2 paragraph (EFA) to refer the percentage of variable explanation. 

Overall the metrics of the model are above the thresholds and the number of responders is quite satisfactory. Both conditions support the reliability of the outcomes. 

Figure 2 reveals the correlations between variables and I would like to suggest re-evaluating the findings given the fact that the association seems to be weak to moderate.

Reviewer 4 Report

The paper seems as interest topic for wider auditory. Regarding originality, the presented idea is not so new, although is well structured and topic is by itself is accurate.
Although the clarity of expression is at high level, there are few syntax errors, which should be corrected.  The paper is build on relevant base of theory. Consistency of text and adequacy of applied methodology are  well, the results are logically and clearly presented  at the paper end.
