“…Transformative experiences were prevalent among more experienced travelers, with 51% having visited 6 to 10 destinations outside of their place of residence, and 32% having visited 11 to 20 destinations. These findings align with the evolution of travel motivation as explained by the travel career ladder model (Pearce, 2021). Early-stage travelers often embark on exploratory trips seeking new destinations, while later stages are characterized by a desire for cultural experiences and immersion in local cultures.…”

Travel experiences have the potential to induce significant changes in tourists. This perspective paper aims to delineate directions for understanding the where, when, with whom, and why of transformative experiences in tourism, proposing future research directions across various dimensions of this multifaceted topic. The Transformative Experience Diagram is presented as a guide to addressing questions about where, when, with whom, and why travel transformation occurs. These propositions are grounded in a literature review spanning various disciplines, along with authors' quantitative and qualitative studies on the process of travel transformation and discussions with experts from diverse fields. Additional data, gathered from semi-structured interviews with people who previously had transformative travel experiences, inform the discussion on key questions of travel transformation and support the propositions for future research. In addition to conceptualizing the process of tourist transformation and proposing a framework for future research, this perspective paper has the potential to influence tourism management practices by guiding the design of experiences that trigger tourists' transformation, positively impacting personal growth, and enhancing the wellbeing of travelers.

“…Deductive thematic analysis was adopted based on the orchestra model of tourist experience (Pearce, 2011) to identify the components and attributes of the literary gaze. To ensure the analysis's trustworthiness and neutrality, findings were cross-checked by two coders, and disagreements were resolved through a continuous comparative process (Zhang, 2021).…”

“…Pine and Gilmore (1999) identified four dimensions of experience: entertainment, education, escapism, and aesthetics. Based on their work, other scholars determined various dimensions of tourist experiences (Borrie & Roggenbuck, 2001;Kim et al, 2012;Packer & Ballantyne, 2016;Pearce, 2011;Richards et al, 2020). A holistic approach to the customer experience is widely recognised as essential for deepening our understanding of customer behaviour by recognising various components across the entire range of the experience (pre-experience, experience, and post-experience) (Melvin et al, 2020).…”

“…A holistic approach to the customer experience is widely recognised as essential for deepening our understanding of customer behaviour by recognising various components across the entire range of the experience (pre-experience, experience, and post-experience) (Melvin et al, 2020). Pearce (2011) used an orchestra analogy to describe how different components contribute to the totality of an experience (Packer & Ballantyne, 2016). An orchestra functions by integrating the contributions of many essential but disparate components.…”

“…This study has two objectives: to identify the components and attributes of the literary gaze at Hafez's tomb; and to determine the attributes that best describe the visitors' literary gaze. The fully theory-informed study design (Varpio et al, 2020) has been employed in which the tourist gaze (Urry & Larsen, 2011) and the multidimensional orchestra model of tourist experience (Pearce, 2011) have been connected to inform the theoretical framework of the study. Since the new conceptualization of the tourist gaze is multidimensional and not limited to the visual aspect of the experience (Urry & Larsen, 2011), this article conceptualises the literary tourist gaze using the multidimensional orchestra model of tourist experience.…”

Purpose Considering the diversity of literary sites, various needs and motivations of literary visitors, and the limited research on literary tourists’ experiences, this study aims to explore the literary gaze at Hafez Tomb in Shiraz, Iran. As the visitor gaze encompasses various dimensions of experience, this study connected the two notions to identify the components of the literary gaze and determine the attributes that best describe it. Design/methodology/approach Data sources include semi-structured interviews with visitors and user-generated content on Tripadvisor. The deductive thematic analysis and multiple correspondence analysis were used. Findings The findings revealed the multidimensionality of the literary gaze. The dominant factors that best describe the literary gaze at Hafez’s tomb were the sensory component of the experience, including “seeing”, “smelling”, “hearing”; affective including “anticipation”, “joy”, “trust”; cognitive including “perceiving”, “thinking”, “learning”; behavioural including “literary related”, “general”; and relationship including “tourist-companion”, “tourist-tourist”. Practical implications Understanding the literary gaze can assist site managers and destination marketers in designing the literary experience and developing promotional strategies that reflect the multifaceted nature of the literary experience. Tourism authorities should identify and shape tourists’ perceptions of literary sites to build the city’s image and brand as a literary city. Originality/value This paper used the orchestra model of experience to analyse the literary tourist’s gaze. This modification could explain that the literary gaze has multiple dimensions and studying all the dimensions gives the literary experience greater significance.
