“…So improving attractions in this study could be mostly related to nature-associated issues. Another research also claimed that tourists have more motivation for experiencing new unique activities (Frederik et al, 2016). These research achievements guide tourism operators to concentrate more on providing better facilities for visiting natural and cultural sites in Iran and designing more unique activities.…”

“…Based on the outcomes of Frederik et al (2016) research, access, amenities, and local community are the other issues which have a positive significant impact on tourists' attitude (Frederik, Brunner-sperdin, & Stokburger-sauer, 2016). Several studies have examined the role of cultural distance, what represents the extent of cultural discrepancy between tourists' home and destination countries (Ng, Lee, & Soutar, 2007), and its association with tourist destination choice (Jackson, 2000(Jackson, , 2001Ng et al, 2007;Ng, Lee, & Soutar, 2009;Vietze, 2012;Yang, Liu, & Li, 2016;Yang & Wong, 2012).…”

The purpose of this paper is to explore the effective factors in attracting outbound tourists to choose Iran as a traveling destination. This survey has been done in China. The total number of respondents was 406, where 95% of respondents filled an online questionnaire and 5% filled it manually. The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used to analyze the questionnaire, and logistic regression was deployed to explore the effective factors in this survey. The questions were defined based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and the role of culture, custom, the source of traveling information, and perceived traveling risks in choosing Iran as a traveling destination. The outcome of this survey on Chinese people suggested that the attractions of Iran, environment, and political risks are the main factors which play an important role in choosing Iran as a traveling destination. The experience of traveling abroad also revealed a significant effect in decision making on traveling destination.

“…In fact, consumers are motivated to reduce such uncertainty by seeking information related to a product [32]. Therefore, knowledge would strengthen consumers' attitude, and in turn, would impact their intention to purchase a product [50][51][52]. Drawing from the discussion, the following hypothesis is presented as follows:…”

Health benefits become the main reason for the non-Muslim consumers to consume halal food. However, the non-Muslim consumers perceive that the Islamic slaughtering method is inhumane, at the same time. As a result, inconclusive findings are identified within the literatures leading to the need to address the gap of empirical evidence for the knowledge of the non-Muslim consumers towards halal food purchase intention. This study aims to fill this gap by investigating the relationship of Halal Food Knowledge (HFK), attitude (ATT) and purchase intention (PI) amongst non-Muslim consumers in Malaysia. The theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Hierarchy of Effect (HOE) Model are used as the basis of the relationship. This study applies the quantitative research methodology and collects the purchase intention data by questionnaire distribution. Data were collected from 315 non-Muslim consumers in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor through self-administered questionnaire. Structural Equation Modelling with Smart PLS was adopted to validate the model of this study. The findings of this study reveals that attitude significantly mediates the relationship between halal food knowledge and purchase intention. The significant mediating role of attitude suggests that both health and animalfriendly attributes of halal food are aligned with non-Muslim consumers' motives on food consumption. Based on the findings, emphasizing on both attributes as informational elements would result in a positive attitude and, in turn, increase the Malaysian Non-Muslim consumers' halal food purchase intention.

The most recognised measurement approach to this concept includes two dimensions:…”

Purpose The literature on the factors generating loyalty towards tourism destinations has seldom focussed its attention on relationship marketing, which has left a gap in the understanding of destination loyalty. This paper aims to examine the influence of relationship quality on rural destination loyalty, approaching this through the variables of trust, attachment and satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach This study used a quantitative methodology based on an on line survey conducted in Spain. The sample consisted of 464 tourists who participate in rural tourism. The analysis of the proposed model was carried out based on the partial least squares method. Findings The results confirm that the model has a substantial to moderate explanatory capacity for overall satisfaction and loyalty, in which overall satisfaction acts as a mediator between the variables that make up relationship quality in reference to loyalty. Research limitations/implications The main limitations of this research arise from the scarcity of works which aim to understand relationship quality in tourism destinations. To broaden results, it should be applied in other tourism destinations, products, services and experiences. Practical implications Destination managers should give relationships a special role in their tourism development programmes in rural tourism contexts. Social implications Rural tourism destinations and companies are generally small-sized organisations that need managerial tools. These can benefit from developing sustainable relationships. Originality/value The significant role played by relationship quality regarding destination loyalty is studied in detail in this model.
