“…Fourth, further studies might expand the research by making a comparison between more cities/countries in which regards the perceived experience of the Erasmus students. In this sense, considering the change of attitudes because of the perceived threat of COVID-19 as recent works have done (Kim et al 2022;Moreno-Muñoz, & Luque-Revuelto, 2023) might add insights into new generations of Erasmus/International students.…”

“…One of the positive aspects of globalization is undoubtedly the emergence and consolidation of international movements of students across the globe, which present positive outcomes academically, socially and economically (Gallarza, Fayos, Currás, Servera & Arteaga, 2019;Altbach & Knight 2007;Brooks, 2018). After the shutdown caused by Covid-19 crisis affecting drastically the tourism industry (Butler, 2022), and reducing academic exchanges among different countries (Moreno-Muñoz, & Luque-Revuelto, 2023), the international academic sector seems to have been one of the quicker to recover, because of the return of these international students' exchanges (Covid-19 resource centre, 2022;European Commission, 2021). Indeed, several authors stated that this terrible context can be the opportunity to reposition destinations in terms of their markets (Butler, 2022;Gössling and Schweiggart, 2022), which also works for international academic exchanges and host destinations for academic purposes.…”

This work aims to a) analyze the tourist experience of Erasmus students in terms of place attachment and b) explore their potential to act as destination brand ambassadors of a hosting destination. It builds on previous literature of international students as tourists, with a wider scope as more publics are involved and both current and future behaviours are explored. Through a qualitative approach run in Valencia (Spain) with three techniques (focus groups, open-ended questions, and personal in-depth interview) we gather information from four stakeholders (current and former Erasmus students, academic coordinators, and students’ tourism managers). By using verbal content analysis, this varied information was coded to answer five research questions. The results revealed accordance among stakeholders around four interconnected dimensions: academic, social, cultural, and personal or psychological. Insights on cognitive and affective place attachment are found, and on both behavioural (returning) and attitudinal (recommending) loyalty. Results from a multi-stakeholder perspective offers insights on the potential of Erasmus students for spreading substantial positive word-of-mouth to more publics than just other students. Building up on the theory of university alumni as a repeat visitor, this paper brings subjective impressions that can help tourist managers to consider Erasmus students as brand ambassadors as they show attitudinal and behavioural loyalty.
