This paper investigates: (1) if, and to what extent, self-congruity
theory is applicable in tourism, (2) to what extent travel and
person characteristics explain the degree of self-congruity, and (3)
how the operationalization of self-congruity affects the conclusions
about whether self-congruity holds in tourism. Results derived from
a large-scale study of Swiss travellers indicate that conclusions
depend heavily on how self-congruity is measured. Using a relatively
strict measure, more than half the trips under study can be
classified as self-congruent. However, travel and socio-demographic
characteristics are very limited in their ability to explain when
self-congruity occurs.
