“…Additionally, considering Lennon & Foley's (2000) call for research into the psychology of dark tourism consumption, future investigation could explore the internal conflicts tourists may experience (or suppress) when consuming sites of tragedy along leisurely experiences. Adopting the psychological construct of emotions can assist to examine the specific positive and negative emotions that tourists experience during a visit to a dark site as well as the changes in these emotions across the vacation (following Lin, Kerstetter, Nawijn & Mitas, 2014). Similarly, consumer psychology research on coping (e.g., Duhachek, 2005) could provide the grounds for a better understanding of the various ways tourists (and local residents) cope with the stress and negative emotions associated with visitation to dark disaster sites.…”

Addressing the call for a better understanding of tourist behavior in relation to post-disaster destinations, this study explores the motivations and intentions of potential domestic tourists (from non-hit areas) to visit Sichuan, China in the aftermath of an earthquake. Drawing on dark tourism theories, this study offers a more comprehensive insight into the consumption of destinations recovering from a disaster, aiming to capture the impact of the changes to the destination's attributes on tourist behavior. The findings move beyond the common approach to tourism recovery which solely focuses on reviving the destination's traditional 'non-dark' products. In contrast, this study reveals the importance of newly formed dark attributes emerging from the disaster as another vehicle to destination recovery, reflected in the emergence of new tourist segments.

“…Recent studies have explored the concept of emotions within the realm of vacation experiences (e.g. Lin, Kerstetter, Nawijn & Mitas, 2014;Mitas et al, 2012;Nawijn et al, 2013). In comparison to the past tendency from the services literature to stress on the measurement of perceived quality as an antecedent of value and satisfaction, the inclusion of consumption experiences in tourism seems to be more akin to this new trend.…”

Research on tourism has been enormously benefited from the marketing of services literature in the understanding of satisfaction, its antecedents and its consequent factors. Recent emphasis on customers' experiences has shifted the focus to a redefinition of the antecedents of satisfaction. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is currently no comparative analysis set out to determine whether experiences under this new framework may suggest a more significant influence on satisfaction among city travelers. Our study delves into these phenomena for the specific case of short lasting touristic city trips, a type of tourism not sufficiently studied for its relevance in terms of growth and turnover. From a survey of a sample of 136 British city travelers, using Structural Equation Modeling, we compare the Quality and Value of Services frameworks and the Experience Economy framework in a series of three regression models in order to determine which one shows higher explanatory power, measured by means of the resulting regression coefficient. The experiential factor seems to show slightly better explanatory power on both value and satisfaction opinions.Enfoque de la Economía de la experiencia; Calidad de los servicios; Valor de los servicios; Turismo urbano; Satisfacción Una comparación de los antecedentes de la satisfacción en las escapadas urbanasResumen La investigación sobre turismo se ha visto muy beneficiada por la literatura sobre el marketing de servicios a fin de comprender la satisfacción, sus antecedentes y sus factores consecuentes. El reciente énfasis sobre las experiencias de los consumidores ha trasladado el objeto de interés hacia una redefinición de los antecedentes de la satisfacción. No obstante, y a nuestro entender, no existen actualmente análisis empíricos comparativos que muestren si las experiencias, tal y como son entendidas bajo este nuevo enfoque, puedan sugerir una influencia más significativa sobre la satisfacción entre los turistas urbanos. Nuestro estudio profundiza en estas relaciones para el caso específico de los viajes turísticos cortos o escapadas de turismo

“…As mentioned earlier in this section, due to some dependency in the within-group data, the analyses focus on between-group differences only. RQ3 was answered through basic univariate descriptives of the survey questions that dealt with and Kerstetter (2013) and Lin, Kerstetter, Nawijn, and Mitas (2014). The original mDES contains 19 emotion items.…”

“…These neutral emotions can be interpreted positively or negatively by respondents, which prohibits meaningful interpretation (cf. Lin et al, 2014). Individuals were asked to rate the intensity of each felt emotion using a 5-point Likert-type scale (i.e., 1 = very slight or not at all, 2 = little, 3 = moderate, 4 = quite a bit, 5 = extreme).…”

Work during vacation is publicly and theoretically seen as detrimental to vacationers' quality of life. This study investigated whether work during vacation affects vacationers' quality of life in terms of intensity of felt emotions and needs fulfillment. A sample of international tourists in the Netherlands (N = 374) took part in a street survey. Findings indicate that workers' and nonworkers' emotional experience is not statistically different during vacation. The fulfillment of needs is also identical between workers and nonworkers. Ninety-seven percent of workers are satisfied with the balance between work and leisure time during vacation. These findings suggest that working tourists effectively combine work and leisure. Some dissatisfaction did arise from the lack of certain work facilities. Implications for the tourism industry and suggestions for further research are provided.
