Taking the sector of travel agencies as a reference, the results of our study shows that there is a statistically signifi cant relationship between the sociodemographic profi le of the online consumer and the type of service encounter. In this sense, our research suggests that sociodemographic variables have a statistically signifi cant infl uence on the type of service encounter. On the other hand, the evaluation of the service quality by online shoppers is quite homogeneous in each service encounter. At least, we have not found great differences according to gender, age, educational level, or frequency of Internet use. |
