    Abstract

    © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. This paper documents a United States-based experiment that tested response rates to an online travel survey request. The results of the experiment revealed a dramatically lower rate of response to requests sent by a researcher with an ethnically Chinese-name than to an identical request from a researcher with a Western-name. The importance of this study is evident to tourism practitioners and academic tourism researchers who so often rely upon survey-based research. Recommendations for overcoming ethnic bias are provided.

    Curtin would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Perth campus is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
