The purpose of this study is to quantitatively demonstrate that rational and emotional factors in urban tourist facilities affect visitor satisfaction, positive word of mouth and subsequent revisits. Therefore, the researcher used structural modeling methodology to test the paths and relationships between the rational and emotional perception, satisfaction, word of mouth, and exogenous variables (aesthetics, economic utility, accessibility, emotional attachment, etc.) of urban tourism facilities perceived by users. As a result of the study, users of urban tourism facilities are affected by customer satisfaction such as ease, usability, and pleasure based on intangible assets such as kindness, aesthetics, symbolism, attachment, and rational factors, which are emotional impressions of urban tourism facilities, and utility, and customer satisfaction. These were found to have a positive and lasting effect on users' perceptions of the facility. Therefore, if the rational and emotional values of urban tourism facilities are considered and integrated in marketing, efficiency can be maximized in terms of satisfaction, word of mouth, and future revisits.
