Abstract

This study drew upon social exchange and place attachment theories in adopting an integrative analytical approach to examine local resident perceptions of medical tourism impact in Hainan, China, particularly using a sample of 502 residents. The adapted importance–performance analysis framework charted multidimensional positive and negative tourism impact as perceived by local residents. Result of structural equation modeling revealed that ecological preservation, community benefits, and cultural enrichment enhanced residents' positive word-of-mouth (WOM) and support intentions. Place attachment partially moderated the relationship among the perceived performance of medical tourism impact, positive WOM, and support intention. These integrative analytical techniques identified nuances within the host perspectives, thereby advancing the understanding of medical tourism's localized influences. Lastly, this study emphasizes tailoring policy to intrinsic resident motivations and heterogeneous viewpoints for sustainable medical tourism development.

调查海南居民对医疗旅游的看法:综合分析方法
本研究借鉴了社会交换和地方依恋理论,采用综合分析方法,特别是使用 502 个居民样本,研究了当地居民对中国海南医疗旅游影响的看法。经过调整的重要性-绩效分析框架描绘了当地居民感知的多维度积极和消极旅游影响。结构方程模型的结果显示,生态保护、社区利益和文化丰富性增强了居民的积极口碑(WOM)和支持意向。地方依恋在一定程度上调节了医疗旅游影响、正面 WOM 和支持意愿之间的关系。这些综合分析技术发现了东道主视角中的细微差别,从而推进了对医疗旅游本地化影响的理解。最后,本研究强调根据居民的内在动机和不同观点制定政策,以促进医疗旅游的可持续发展。
