Abstract
ABSTRACTThis study examines the complex connections between destination image, overall satisfaction, place attachment, perceived safety, and destination loyalty among Vietnamese domestic visitors. The study collected data from 626 participants. The results indicate that destination image positively influences overall satisfaction, place attachment, and destination loyalty and that overall satisfaction and place attachment mediate the relationship between destination image and destination loyalty. In addition, the study highlights the crucial moderating effect of perceived safety on domestic travelers’ destination loyalty. These findings have important implications for tourism marketing strategies that seek to increase the attachment of domestic tourists to the destination, their overall satisfaction, and their loyalty.KEYWORDS: Destination imageoverall satisfactionplace attachmentperceive safetydestination loyalty Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).
期刊介绍:
Journal of Policy Research in Tourism, Leisure & Events provides a unique forum for critical discussion of public policy debates relating to the fields of tourism, leisure and events. This encompasses the economic, social, cultural, political and environmental dimensions of official intervention. In addition to high quality theoretical and empirical papers, the journal publishes contributions examining the value of contrasting methodologies, or advocacy of novel methods. Inter- and multi-disciplinary submissions are particularly welcome. In order to foster debate and extend the scope of discussion, it publishes shorter carefully argued position statements on specific, topical interventions in the Contemporary Policy Debates section. In addition, the journal’s novel Dialogues section involves ‘point/counter-point’ debates between contributors on a range of policy-related or policy research-related topics. These may interrogate key concepts from different cultural, theoretical or spatial perspectives, or discuss potential responses to a range of practical challenges involved in undertaking policy-related research in the fields of tourism, leisure and events. With a swiftly growing academic reputation, the journal is ‘B’ rated by the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC). It has received citations from a number of senior practitioners and influential bodies, including the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
