Resumen

El objetivo fue determinar el efecto de una imagen turística generada mediante inteligencia artificial frente a una fotografía tomada por una persona, sobre la autenticidad percibida, la confianza y la intención de visitar la Naciente del río Tioyacu, destino de baja familiaridad en Perú. Se realizó un experimento aleatorizado con postest en 262 adultos. Los datos se analizaron mediante modelos lineales y mediación secuencial con 5000 remuestras bootstrap. La condición IA redujo significativamente la autenticidad percibida; esta predijo positivamente la confianza y la intención de visita. El efecto indirecto de la condición IA sobre la intención, mediante autenticidad y confianza, fue significativo (b = -0,107; IC95% [-0,179, -0,047]), mientras que el efecto total sobre la intención no fue significativo. Se concluye que la influencia de las imágenes turísticas generadas por IA opera mediante evaluaciones de autenticidad y confianza y no como un efecto tecnológico directo sobre la intención de visita.
