Cover Story: In today's digital age, social media reviews profoundly shape consumer decisions, particularly in group package tours' post-pandemic recovery. This paper investigates how social media reviews, a form of electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM), encompassing both positive and negative feedback, and price acceptability levels jointly influence consumers' perceptions of value, price, and quality. Moving beyond traditional modeling, our experimental approach reveals that mixed eWOM significantly biases value perceptions, predominantly via perceived price, not quality. We uncover critical insights for industry practitioners, emphasizing the need for robust eWOM strategies over sole reliance on low pricing for sustainable recovery. Through this study, we discover how to navigate the complexities of online reviews to genuinely enhance consumer value. View this paper
