Abstract

The work aims to investigate the underlying mechanism affecting consumers’ willingness to purchase AI-generated tourism cultural and creative products, and elucidate the relational pathways among product attributes, consumer perceptions, and purchase intention, thereby offering both theoretical insight and practical implications for the development of AI-powered cultural and creative product design. Based on the SOR theory, a theoretical model of "product characteristics-consumer perception-purchase intention" was constructed, and cultural and creative design samples were generated by Midjourney and ChatGPT-4o with Shanhaiguan Scenic Area as an example. A questionnaire was designed on a five-level Likert scale, and 298 pieces of data were collected after pre-investigation and optimization, and the relationship between eight variables such as aesthetics and novelty and the moderating effect of consumer innovation were tested by using the structural equation model (SEM) empirical analysis method. Firstly, product aesthetics, culture and functionality had significant positive effects on the perception of novelty. Secondly, product aesthetics, innovation, culture and functionality had a significant positive effect on perceived value. Thirdly, both perceived novelty and perceived value significantly increased consumers' willingness to buy. Finally, product innovation, culture and functionality also had a significant positive impact on purchase intention. In addition, consumer innovation enhanced the positive impact of product aesthetics on the perception of novelty, and also enhanced the positive impact of product culture and functionality on the perception of novelty and purchase intention. This paper verifies the core logic of product features affecting purchase intention through binary perception, and clarifies that functionality and aesthetics are the key driving factors, and the moderating effect of consumer innovation is significant. The goal of revealing the influence mechanism of purchase intention has been achieved, providing an accurate basis for the design of AI generative cultural and creative products.
