An email survey was conducted to collect empirical data on e-travel agency shoppers in Taiwan. A total of 2,000 questionnaires were delivered and 853 effective samples obtained. The empirical results reveal that e-satisfaction is influenced by online risk, reduced transaction cost and service quality that then indirectly affects post-purchase behaviors. Furthermore, the travel product types show its moderating effects on those constructs to e-satisfaction. Additionally, product involvement has a moderating effect on e-satisfaction to post-purchase behavior. Surprisingly, online risk appears to positively influence e-satisfaction, since the provision of product information by travel agencies allows consumers to distinguish good-reputation online travel agencies form bad ones. It enhances e-satisfaction. Finally, some policy implications for the travel industry were also discussed.
