Resumo: This work uses the MOA model to explain to what level motivation, opportunity and ability of users are factors determining the intentions to use social media when organizing and taking vacation trips. The conclusions of the study reveal that the intentions to use social media are directly influenced by the motivation and ability of users; however, the opportunity does not significantly affect the predisposition to use such technologies. In turn, functional and hedonic benefits have an influence on motivations, while social benefits do not.
