Abstract: Abstract Extant studies rarely explore macro factors explaining cross-culture variations in adolescents’ social influence in family decisions. This study focuses on adolescents’ influence practices (AIPs) in terms of family and cultural values/regions across 25 countries, using data regarding vacation decisions from the Commonwealth Research Program. Our results show that communication culture and cultural region are both related to AIP clusters and AIP measurement error clusters. Furthermore, a country’s culture/values and its level of socioeconomic/sociopolitical development have stronger correlations with the use of bargaining by female adolescents than by male adolescents. This study adds to relatively few crossvergence investigations in the tourism industry.
