The authors collected survey data from 357 tourism e-commerce live streaming consumers and used the structural equation model to test the research model. The results reveal that interactivity and authenticity positively affect tourism e-commerce live streaming consumers' purchase intention,but entertainment does not influence purchase intention positively; interactivity, authenticity , and entertainment each positively affects tourism e-commerce live streaming consumers' flow experience and trust; both flow experience and trust positively affect tourism e-commerce live streaming consumers' purchase intention; both flow experience and trust have mediating effects on the relationships between tourism e-commerce live streaming features and consumers' purchase intention. This study extends existing theoretical research on tourism e-commerce live streaming and provides some managerial implications for tourism enterprises and streamers.
