Zusammenfassung
In the services sector positive word-of-mouth is regarded as one of the most important consumer behavior for firms Thus, one of the most important questions within services marketing is the analysis of the factors influencing this variable, with a view to strengthening it.The current article attempts to extend previous research by testing the effects of customer trust and two types of switching barriers � negative and positive � on the most relevant manifestation of attitudinal loyalty (positive recommendations) in an online environment: virtual travel agencies. To this end, a total of 480 online customers were surveyed. The hypotheses were tested using structural linear equations through EQS version 6.1a for Windows. The distinction between negative and positive switching barriers is important to draw theoretical and managerial implications.
