Despite the fact that, messages that go viral have an impact on tourists’ choices. However, very little is known about the factors influencing tourists’ propensity to spread viral messages. Hence, the current study aims at investigating the factors that influence the behavioural intention of tourists towards forwarding travel and tourism related viral messages. Also, to see if there is a difference in behavioural intentions between travel leaders and travel followers. The present study is based on primary data elicited from 100 domestic tourists who visited Kerala. Samples were selected using multi-stage cluster sampling. Scale reliability was assessed using the Cronbach's alpha. To analyse the data and test hypotheses, independent sample t test, one-way ANOVA and multiple regression were performed using SPSS. The results of this study showed that elements like social benefits, viral platform usage and emotional response had an impact on travellers' intention to spread a message. Results also revealed that tourists with different levels of travel leadership (i.e., leaders vs. followers) had significantly diverse behavioural intentions.
