“…Nevertheless, quantitative analysis revealed a positive correlation between flow state and outcomes for both groups of regions, which matches previous studies with Western people (da Silva deMatos et al , 2021) and Eastern people (Liu et al , 2019; Wei et al , 2021; Wu and Lai, 2022; Yang et al , 2022). We consider this to be because the cultural values of young Chinese have accepted more or less Western values, such as individualism (Li and Lu, 2016).…”

“…We found that Gao et al (2017) studied sustained participation in Chinese virtual travel communities with a three-dimensional flow scale. Liu et al (2019) verified that flow experiences have a positive impact on place attachment in Taiwan’s night markets. Wei et al (2021) found that cultural intelligence contributes to flow experiences via online and offline surveys at multiple cultural and creative tourist destinations in Taiwan using a four-dimensional flow scale.…”

Purpose This paper aims to fill a research gap on whether cultural background (Eastern or Western) influences tourist flow experiences and outcomes with Chinese-speaking tourists. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted flow-aware, guided cultural tours in Kyoto, Japan, from March 2019 to February 2020. Tourists visited the same spots on the same route with the same guide to avoid discrepancies stemming from experiencing different tours with different guides. Professional photoshoots were conducted to study the flow experience under high challenges. Participants were Chinese-speaking tourists worldwide. The guide spoke in Chinese to minimise language bias. Participants were asked to complete an anonymous questionnaire within one week of the tours. Findings The authors received 191 valid responses. Those from the Eastern regions showed significantly lower flow states and outcomes than their counterparts from the Western regions under high challenges, whereas this phenomenon was not observed under low challenges. A positive correlation between the flow state and outcomes was observed in both regional groups. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to apply flow theory to guided cultural tours with Chinese-speaking tourists from different cultural backgrounds. It was found that those from the Eastern regions can have flow experience and good outcomes in guided tours, although they may require a lower level of challenge. A managerial implication is that cultural tours should be designed considering the balance between challenges and tourists’ cultural background to optimise their flow experiences and outcomes.

“…naturally. It is said that because foreign tourists want to experience new things or visit customs that are different from their country, they often choose to visit existing tourist attractions, (Liu et al 2019). The findings of this hypothesis can support the research conducted by (Christine Pratama, Sasrawan Mananda, and Sudarta 2016; Parhusip and Arida 2018) which states that the motivation of millennial tourists to travel to Bali is dominated by the driving factor components of novelty and knowledge seeking.…”

The development of tourist destinations today, has motivated research on revisit intention to be an important factor to be researched. This study seeks to examine the influence of tourist motivation and tourist experience on the revisit intention of tourists in West Sumatra which is mediated by the novelty seeking variable. The population of this research is tourists who visit tourist objects in West Sumatra. Samples were taken using accidental sampling method as many as 150 respondents. This study uses a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) model with Smart PLS 3 as an analysis tool. The results of the analysis show that tourist motivation is the main factor that determines tourism revisit intention, while tourist experience and novelty seeking have no real role in increasing revisit intention. Another fact also finds that tourist motivation and tourist experience are the determining factors for novelty seeking. Whereas in another case novelty seeking as an intervening variable in this study was not proven to play a role in strengthening the influence of tourist motivation and tourist experience on revisit intention. In the future, these findings are expected to have implications for local governments in order to improve facilities or infrastructure and better deregulation of existing tourist destinations, so that all factors in this study can increase revisit intention

“…Understanding the factors that facilitate flow is essential in promoting positive consumer behaviors. Novelty seeking, defined as a personality trait characterized by a desire for new experiences [ 6 , 7 ], can significantly influence flow. It is associated with attributes such as openness, adventure, and creativity, driving individuals towards unique travel destinations [ 8 , 9 ].…”
