This research examined motives for sharing travel experiences on social network sites (SNSs). Vogt and Fesenmaier’s (1998) information needs framework was applied to verify the original five constructs and then a second-order factor model was empirically tested. Using data collected from SNS users, the best fitting model suggested that the sign higher-order factor was explained by three lower-order factors (self-presentation, social interaction and group power) and the emotional higherorder factor was explained by two lower-order factors (fun/enjoyment and expressing positive feeling). The functional factor was explained by items related to knowledge distribution, the aesthetic factor was explained by items related to nostalgia, and the innovation factor was explained by items related to novelty. The study results indicate SNSs users are satisfying various information needs (i.e., sign, emotional, functional, aesthetic, innovation) and Vogt and Fesenmaier’s information needs framework provides a parsimonious structure to explain motives for electronically sharing travel experiences.
