This research examines the affect of destination image factors on revisit intention of domestic tourists at Ba Ria Vung-Tau (BRVT), by questioning directly 510 domestic tourists. The convenient sampling method is used in dividing the crowds into four groups; the four main surveyed areas in BRVT are: Vung Tau, Long Hai-Phuoc Hai, Xuyen Moc and Con Dao. A combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies were utilized.A focus group of 10 domestic tourists wasset up to review and explore the variousfactors as well as the conceptual model. An in-depth interview with 12 participants was developed to fine-tune measurement items. The questionnaire applied a 5-point Likert scale. Checking the reliability by Cronbach's Alpha, exploratory factor analyzing and linear multiple regression were used with the SPSS program. The results show that there are eight main destination image factors affecting domestic tourists revisit intention to BRVT using linear regression and arranged by decreasing importance: Infrastructure, Variety Seeking, Accessibility, Local food, Atmosphere, Environment, Price Value, Leisure and Entertainment. From that, the research offers some suggestions and policy recommendations for the tourism business and provincial policy-makers to identify the main issues and develop better customer services to increase domestic tourists'revisit intention.

This study is to examine the determinants of tourists' revisit intention focusing on behavioral and psychological factors. Many studies have found physical conditions affecting tourists' intention to revisit. The study examines the determinants of tourist's revisit intention in terms of tourists' psychological and behavioral elements such as satisfaction and motivation. The data used for the statistical analyses were from a survey targeting people living in Daegu and Pusan metropolitan cities and some cities of Gyeongsangbuk-do and Gyeongsangnam-do provinces in Korea. The study employs regression analysis to investigate the effect of satisfaction and motivations on tourists' revisit intention. As the results of OLS regression analysis, satisfaction, push and pull motivation are predictors of tourists' revisit intention. It shows that tourists' psychological and behavioral factors have a significant impact on tourists' revisit intention. The study suggests the implications for enhancing tourists' revisit intention by motivating tourists' psychological and behavioral needs.

The purpose of this study was to offer a new conceptual framework based on a combination of the TPB model, the TAM model, and two additional constructs consisting of eWOM and pricing value called the E-P-TAM-TPB model, and to assess the model's implications on hotel selection behavior. This study empirically examines the E-P-TAM-TPB model to evaluate and validate domestic tourists' online hotel booking intentions by using the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. The data was collected from 355 domestic tourists who booked the room via the hotel website. The major findings of this study indicated that the E-P-TAM-TPB model has a positive significant influence on online hotel selection behavior. The results revealed that all proposed hypotheses were declared supported. Future studies should build on the framework by incorporating potential moderators to better understand how different groups of customers behave online in different segments of the hospitality industry. Managers must not only develop an easy booking process but also provide price value information to attract or impress clients. Tourists can compare room rates with other hotel websites and OTAs.

Food is widely accepted as very important factor in tourists' experiences by researchers. However, few studies revealed tourists' importance of food for their travel. Therefore, through a case study in Busan (South Korea), this study aims to critically assess the importance of food tourism from domestic tourists' perspectives. In particular, this study assess the relationship between food tourists' value, nutrition information, behavioral intention of tourists' food experiences during their travel. Using SmarPLS program, a quantitative research methodology involving a structured questionnaire has been adopted. The results reveal that food tourists' value and importance of nutrition information plays different roles in food tourism. Food tourism value and nutrition information has shown its importance for increasing revisit intention in Busan. In light of these findings, marketing strategies can be identified to accelerate the development of food tourism at a destination.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to assess the perceived importance and satisfaction of domestic tourists who visited Venice, Italy, regarding the attributes of overtourism. Design/methodology/approach - An online survey was conducted to measure the tourist perceived attributes of overtourism from November 8th to 22nd, 2023. Convenience sampling was employed to target study participants who are domestic tourists in Venice, Italy. A total of 127 responses were used for analysis, including frequency analysis, paired-sample t-tests, and Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA). Findings - First, the results of the IPA showed that attributes related to urban facilities and spaces directly associated with travel behavior were highly rated in both importance and satisfaction by tourists. Second, attributes related to carrying capacity were perceived as highly important but had lower satisfaction level. Third, tourists evaluated the management of affordable prices for tourism products as both less important and less satisfying. Lastly, attributes related to the protection of local businesses showed higher satisfaction levels compared to their perceived importance. Research implications or Originality - This study contributes to an extended understanding of overtourism by examining the phenomenon from the tourists' perspective.

Purpose: Although many studies have addressed destination marketing concepts, the relationship between beach tourists' memorable tourism experience (MTE), revisit intention and electronic word of mouth (eWOM) remains unknown. To address this issue, the authors established a model to investigate the effects of MTE's dimensions on revisit intention and eWOM. Research design, data and methodology: Drawing on 581 questionnaires from domestic beach tourists in Vietnam, a quantitative study approach was administered to empirically analyze a partial least squares path model in PLS-SEM. Results: The findings revealed that four dimensions of MTE including hedonism, local culture, meaningfulness and involvement have positive influence on beach tourists' revisit intention. Besides, meaningfulness and knowledge directly affect eWOM. It is worth noting that beach tourists' revisit intention significantly and directly influence their eWOM. The findings also confirm the indirect effects of hedonism, local culture, meaningfulness and involvement on eWOM through the mediating role of revisit intention. Conclusions: This study will be important to determine beach tourists' behavior through each dimension of MTE. This study also emphasizes on the direct effect of beach tourists' revisit intention on eWOM, as well as confirms its mediating role in the relation between MTE and eWOM. The findings will assist policymakers and destination marketers with strategies and effective future actions.

본 연구의 목적은 체험 관광 방문 동기가 관광지 이미지 및 방문 만족에 따른 국내 관광 활성화에 의해 극대화 될 수 있는지를 고찰하기 위해 수행되었다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위하여 국내 체험 관광지에 방문한 체험 관광객들의 교육적 동기, 체험적 동기, 문화적 동기, 친교적 동기의 4가지 요인과 관광지 이미지, 방문만족을 통한 국내 관광 활성화할 수 있는 제안점을 제시하고자 하였다. 첫째, 코로나 시대에 국내 체험관광객의 방문 동기와 관광지 이미지, 방문 만족과 관련한 결과를 본 연구에 맞게 개념을 정립함으로써 이론적 의의를 찾을 수 있다. 체험관 광객의 방문 동기에 대한 4가지 요인을 통한 체험 관광지 이미지와 방문 만족에 관한 연구로 관광객 눈높이에 맞는 체험 관광프로그램을 제공함으로써의 팬데믹 코로나 시대에 관광객들의 체험 관광 방문 동기에 참여하는 새로운 변화를 추진해 나가는데 필수적인 조건임을 시사해 주고 있다. 둘째, 국내 체험 관광 사업기업체에서 운영하는 체험 관광프로그램 측면에서는 가능한 비대면 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 언택트 서비스의 특성을 살린 안전한 관광지 이미지를 알릴 수 있도록 해야 한다. 또한 팬데믹 코로나 시대에 체험 관광활동의 방문이 다소 제한적인 거시적 환경에서 비대면 서비스 확대를 통해서 지역의 직접적인 체험 프로그램 발굴 및 개발에 대한 인식 전환으로 국내 관광과 지역경제 활성화하는 데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다.
