“…Both emotions were individually tested in our research model to clarify the fit of the model and the relationships among various variables. The data demonstrated a significant relationship between perception and positive emotions, extending previous studies on the relationship between perception and positive emotion as well as the arousal theory (Berlyne, 1960; Mionel, 2020; Şahin & Güzel, 2020). In addition, perception significantly positively affects negative emotion and presents a new basis for ghost tourism research to broaden previous studies (Kang et al, 2012).…”

“…Several studies on tourism have determined that tourist perception predicts positive emotions. According to Şahin and Güzel (2020), tourists' emotional arousal is related to their perception of attributes, such as novelty, service quality, and infrastructure. Wang, Shen, et al (2021) highlighted the effect of perceived authenticity on tourists' emotional experiences of awe in dark tourism.…”

“…In addition, personal memory more effectively predicts future behaviour than satisfaction (Hung et al, 2016). Tourist perception (Şahin & Güzel, 2020; Wang, Shen, et al, 2021) and memorability (Sthapit & Björk, 2019; Zhang et al, 2018) influence tourist behaviour; however, their influence has not yet been verified in ghost tourism based on SOR theory.…”

This study used stimulus‐organism‐response theory to identify hypothetical relationships among tourist perception, emotion, memorability, and behavioural intention in ghost tourism. A questionnaire survey was conducted, and 445 valid responses were collected at the Liu Ancient Building. The results revealed significant positive relationships between tourist perception and positive and negative emotions. Furthermore, the results indicated that emotion correlated with memorability. With regard to ghost tourism, positive emotions considerably affect memory than negative emotions. Memorability, a precise predictor of behavioural intention, plays a mediating role between positive emotion and behavioural intention, particularly in ghost tourism. This study provides some suggestions for enhancing behavioural intention and guidance with regard to ghost tourism.

“…Tourists collect more information to compare destinations’ attributes to have more options to maximize the benefits for them, including different gastronomic traditions, geography environment, region, customs, or natural conditions [ 22 , 23 ]. Those multiple destination attributes were dominant to determine the tourist emotional arousal, tourism experience, and memorability [ 24 ]. Previous studies have shown that multiple destination attributes are vital for tourist satisfaction and return [ 25 , 26 , 27 ].…”

With the growth of rural tourism in China, this study aims to determine the destination attributes, tourism satisfaction, and intention of revisiting Inner Mongolia. This study also investigated the mean comparison of tourist satisfaction and revisit intention across domestic tourists’ demographic characteristics. Structural analysis revealed that destination attributes have a positive influence on satisfaction and revisit intention. In addition, the result of the mean difference test showed that satisfaction is significantly different between male and female tourists, and revisit intention significantly varies across the season. Our findings have an excellent directive significance to bring forward rural tourism in Inner Mongolia.

“…The tourist experiences at a destination are likely to result in positive memories, emotional attachment, and, eventually, tourist satisfaction [17,18]. Furthermore, tourist satisfaction accrued from unforgettable experiences and emotional attachment signifies recreational value for tourists.…”

Estimating the economic value of ecosystem services has become one of the most fertile areas in ecological economics. In this paper, we propose a novel method of using a tourist satisfaction model to evaluate the recreational services being embedded in forest ecosystems. We establish a functional relationship between tourist satisfaction and recreational attributes based on the survey data of China National Forest Parks. The results indicate that each recreational attribute considered enables the generation of a significant amount of tourism welfare for tourists, whereas tourist congestion was found to be a negative contributor to tourists’ satisfaction. Reducing congestion from the current level is the most valued recreational attribute for tourists, and the willingness to pay for it is as high as CNY 623.18 (USD 92.29) per visitor per trip. Additionally, local and nonlocal tourists display a divergent degree of preference for the recreational attributes and their levels of willingness to pay.
