“…In conclusion, we can state that the direct influence of the overall satisfaction on loyalty towards the destination was proven (in agreement with Assaker, Vinzi, O'Connor [62] and Kim and Brown [27]). The order of the dimensions according to their direct influence on the required loyalty towards the destination, i.e., coming back to the destination and spreading positive references to the destination, is as follows: 1. well-being, 2. image, 3. services.…”

Abstract:The paper is dedicated to the issues of rural tourism with regard to the visitor's loyalty towards the destination in a sustainable development context. Particularly, the findings of the research focused on exploring mutual relations among quality dimensions of the rural destination, overall satisfaction of the visitor, and his or her loyalty towards the destination are presented. A structural model was used to explore the relations among quality dimensions, overall satisfaction, and loyalty in the specific environment of the Czech Republic (inland European country, EU member, until 1989 a socialist country, nearly 93% municipalities with fewer than 3000 inhabitants). The research results allow deeper understanding of the visitor's behavior and the factors influencing the loyalty towards the destination. The significance order of the dimensions according to their direct influence on the required loyalty towards the destination, i.e., coming back to the destination and spreading positive references to the destination, is as follows: 1. well-being, 2. image, 3. services. We conclude that overall satisfaction directly influences loyalty towards the destination.

“…In a similar vein, there is evidence that the need for variety and alternatives, as tourists who seek novelty tend not to revisit a destination (Assaker & Hallak, 2013;Assaker, Vinzi & O'Connor, 2011;Barroso, Martin & Martin, 2007;Bigné, Sánchez & Andreu, 2009). …”

Destination images, holistic images and personal normative beliefs: Predictors of intention to revisit a destination

et al. 2016

This research examines the complex relationship between components of images of destinations and behavioral intentions, incorporating two pivotal constructs that have not been explored in the related literature, namely holistic image and personal normative beliefs (PNBs). Previous studies incorporating destination images as predictors of intention to revisit have mostly investigated their direct effect. This research integrates holistic image as a mediator and PNBs as a moderating variable. The findings verify the mediating role of holistic image for predicting tourists’ intentions to revisit a destination, supporting a model that incorporates a partial effect and two indirect mediations. Interestingly, only affective and conative images contribute to the prediction of tourists’ intentions to revisit a destination through the holistic image towards this destination. Moreover, PNBs moderate the effect that conative destination images have on tourists’ holistic images. Practically, the research sheds light to factors that affect tourists' tendency to select a tourism destination, which can serve as a basis for tailoring the effective positioning of destinations

“…An event as an element of tourism destination needs to have a positive image. Destination image refers to an individual's mental illustration of knowledge, feelings, and general perception of a particular destination (Assaker, Vinzi, & O'Connor, 2011;Fakeye & Crompton, 1991). Assaker et al(2011) contend that the destination with a positive image is more likely to be included and selected on the process of decision making.…”

Assaker et al(2011) contend that the destination with a positive image is more likely to be included and selected on the process of decision making. Furthermore, destination image is considered as an important factor since travel destinations predominantly compete on perceived image (Baloglu & Mangaloglu, 2001).…”
