Understanding the processes that facilitate a desire to repeat a trip is crucial in explaining the motivational state and decision‐making of future tourists. Psychologically satisfied individuals tend to positively evaluate their trip and return to the same place(s) when a post‐trip desire arises. In this research, the satisfaction of autonomy, relatedness, and competence positively predicted the quality of a trip, which affected the desire to repeat the trip. Such desire further influenced temporal revisit intentions. Relationships between three fulfilled needs and temporal revisit intentions were serially mediated by the quality of a trip and the desire to repeat the trip. Indirect effects consistently existed regarding short‐, medium‐, and long‐term revisit intentions. This research extended existing theorization by addressing research gaps in relation to the antecedents and consequences of a post‐trip desire. Findings provide useful insights into designing and using experiential products and cues that facilitate the post‐trip desire and visit
