Abstract

The theoretical understanding of peer to peer (P2P) accommodation has received much attention over the years; however, relatively little attention has been directed towards trust in peer to peer accommodation. Thus, the purpose of the present study is to develop and empirically test a model to understand the antecedents and consequences of guests trust toward peer to peer accommodation in the Egyptian context. Data collected from 793 respondents were analysed through partial least squares- structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to test the proposed model. The findings indicate that our unified framework includes a satisfactory level of prediction power for guests’ intention to use peer to peer accommodation and actual booking. Finally, overall trust leads to greater intention to book for males and older guests. This study contributes to the existing theory and practice by providing useful insights about the drivers and outcomes of guest trust toward peer to peer accommodation.
