Museum tourism in Canary Islands
The present study aims to provide a deeper understanding of the image of museums, differentiating between perceptions of Visitors (residents and tourists) and Directors in the museums of a sun and beach tourism destination – Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain). This study analyses the overall image, the cognitive image, and the affective image. The results of this study suggest that Directors tend to understand the overall image of their museums…
Cross-Cultural Validation of a Memorable Tourism Experience Scale (MTES)
The present study seeks to establish the cross-cultural validity of the memorable tourism experience scale (MTES), a recently developed measurement scale designed to assess individuals’ memorable tourism experiences (MTEs). Since the psychometric properties of the MTES have only been examined within a sample of American college students, the aim of this study was to replicate the previous psychometric findings using a sample of Taiwanese responde…
Development of a Scale to Measure Memorable Tourism Experiences
The quality experiences provided to customers, which are indeed memorable, directly determine a business’s ability to generate revenue (Pine and Gilmore 1999). However, the extant tourism literature has provided limited explanation of the factors that characterize memorable tourism experiences. Thus, the goal of the present study was to develop a valid and reliable measurement scale that will assist in understanding the concept and in improving t…

The Effect of Memorable Experience on Behavioral Intentions in Tourism
This study develops and tests a model to investigate the effects of memorable tourism experiences on future behavioral intentions (e. g., revisiting). A structural equation modeling analysis reveals that the memorable experiential components of involvement, hedonism, and local culture positively affect behavioral intention to revisit the same destination, repractice the same tourist activities, and generate positive word-of-mouth publicity. The r…

Determinants of tourism success for DMOs & destinations
Understanding and meeting the challenges of consumer/tourist experience research
This paper seeks to provide a framework that will help us identify and better understand the major challenges we face in consumer/tourist experience research. These challenges have both theoretical and managerial dimensions. Based on an extensive and comprehensive review of the current literature in the field, we have categorised extant knowledge into six main streams of theoretical thinking and empirical research. These streams were identified a…

Promoting Destinations via Film Tourism
Film tourism is a growing phenomenon worldwide, fueled by both the growth of the entertainment industry and the increase in international travel. This article proposes a model for exploiting film tourism marketing opportunities. It identifies the optimum marketing factors that encourage film tourists to visit destinations that appear (or are depicted) in the movies. Factor analysis reveals four types of marketing activities in which destinations …
Destination Branding
Although the concept of branding has been applied extensively to products and services, tourism destination branding is a relatively recent phenomenon. In particular, destination branding remains narrowly defined to many practitioners in destination management organizations (DMOs) and is not well represented in the tourism literature. Consequently, this study has three goals. First, it attempts to review the conceptual and theoretical underpinnin…

Research and the Tourism Industry
The growing importance of Information and Research (I/R) for effecting policy formulation, planning, and decision making continues to put increasing pressure on Destination Management Organizations (DMOs) to gather, interpret, and utilize this resource in a cost-effective manner. To achieve this goal, DMOs must develop their ability to use available I/R more efficiently. This article argues that current levels of understanding of the research pro…

Design and Development of the Tourism/Hospitality Management Curriculum
The primary goal of this paper is to present an alternative framework on which to base the design and development of Tourism/Hospitality Management Programs. Prior to doing so, the discussion first presents a summary review of the major issues facing tourism/hospitality education in the 1990's and which the new framework is especially designed to address. It subsequently references a number of basic principles on which the framework is based. Bef…
The Measurement of Destination Image
The purpose of this article is to carefully examine the concept of destination image with the goal of designing more appropriate and rigorous techniques for its measurement. A framework is presented which suggests that to completely measure destination image, several components must be captured. These include attribute-based images, holistic impressions, and functional, psychological, unique and common characteristics. It is proposed that a combi…
Measuring Destination Attractiveness
This study examines two different types of vacation experiences as the experimental factors and empirically incorporates a context specific approach into the measurement of destination attractiveness. A total of 400 respondents were interviewed by telephone. Three areas were examined for two different vacation experiences: (1) the relative importance of touristic attributes in contributing to the attractiveness of a travel destination, (2) the va…

Measuring Service Quality in the Travel and Tourism Industry
The SERVQUAL instrument has been proposed as an instrument for the measurement of perceived service quality within a wide range of service categories. The current research examines both the operation of the scale and its management implications in four major sectors of the travel and tourism industry. Concerns regarding the SERVQUAL scale and its limitations and problems are discussed; within and across service category comparisons are also consi…
The Impact Of A Mega-Event On Host Region Awareness
A center or region which hosts a major event attracting global attention is affected in many positive and negative ways. From a tourism perspective, perhaps the major benefits sought by organizers are increased awareness and an enhanced imageforthe host region in the international marketplace. It is assumed that this increased awareness and enhanced image will, over the long term, provide a strongercompetitiveposition and greater benefits from to…

Leisure Activities and Perceived Risk
A number of previous studies have examined the role of perceived risk in influencing choice processes related to consumer products. The present research assessed the relevance of this concept for the study of leisure activities. Measures of overall risk and seven components of risk were measured for 20 leisure activities using two parallel measurement scales. Significant variation was found in the levels of risk associated with the 20 activities …

Joint Purchasing Decisions
Comparisons of perceived influence structure within household decisionmaking units of differing composition revealed substantial variations in patterns of role dominance and response consensus. The result also indicated that although children had relatively little perceived influence on the vacation and accommodation selection decisions studied, they may still affect the outcome of particular choices
Complexities of Household Energy Consumption and Conservation
A national sample of Canadian households was used to relate climatic variables, dwelling/appliance/vehicle descriptors, demographic characteristics, and attitudinal variables to actual in-home energy consumption and self-reported gasoline consumption. Using split-sample replications, dwelling and vehicle descriptors indicated a strong association with energy consumption, and both male and female attitudes indicated weak associations
On the Derivation of Leisure Activity Types—A Perceptual Mapping Approach
The author describes an attempt to derive an empirically based method for the classification of leisure activities. Three multivariate analytical techniques (multidimensional scaling, cluster analysis, and property fitting) are used in conjunction with psychographic data gathered from 200 members of a commercial consumer panel. The results of the research include: the identification of the underlying dimensions of perception used by respondents i…

La culture et sa contribution à l'attrait d'une région touristique
Le tourisme peut être considéré comme un domaine relevant traditionnellement de l'économie, tandis que le domaine de la culture prend une orientation plus sociale. Cependant, même si cette différence entre les deux domaines est réelle, l'importance des liens fondamentaux qui existent entre le tourisme et la culture n'est pas négligeable, et les caractéristiques socio‐culturelles d'une région peuvent être un des aspects les plus importants de l'at…
