“…Conversely, a positive DI does not assure a positive RI. Perhaps satisfied travelers also prefer new destinations in the future (Chen & Funk, 2010). Finally, in the case of event sports travelers in the US it was found that DI has no direct influence on intention to participate in the event again, therefore it has a negative impact (Kaplanidou & Gibson, 2010).…”

“…Interestingly, another study has looked at sports tourism in the US and illustrated that DI positively influenced intentions to visit a destination. It also stated that DI plays a vital role when travelers decide to visit a destination for the first time (Chen & Funk, 2010;Kaplanidou & Vogt, 2007). Certainly, in the tourism literature, DI has been connected to RI and more recently in the literature of sport tourism, image has been connected with RI (Kaplanidou & Gibson, 2010).…”

A few studies have examined destination image (DI), hospital service quality (HSQ), hospital accreditation (HA), patient attitude (PA) on patient satisfaction (PS), revisit intention (RI) and word of mouth (WOM) in a tourism context. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of medical travelers' behavioral intention in Iran. A total of 250 questionnaires were distributed with a response rate of 68%. Quantitative techniques were used to test the hypotheses within the structural equation modelling (SEM) using SmartPLS software. Our statistical results support the positive relationship between DI and PS, HSQ and PA, HSQ and RI, HSQ and WOM, HA and PA, PA and PS, PS and RI, and PS and WOM. However, the relationship between DI and PA, DI and RI, HA and PS, and HA and WOM were not supported. The research contribution, implication, and limitation are discussed.

“…Interest in loyalty studies is increasing in the field of tourism, as people who tend to stay longer in one location (Oppermann, 1998) provide better word of mouth (Oppermann, 2000) and spend more (Shoemaker & Lewis, 1999). Thus, several scientific studies have sought to understand this phenomenon (Chen & Funk, 2010;Um, Chon, & Ro, 2006) by showing that different antecedents can influence destination revisit intentions. One such antecedent is perceived value (hedonic and utilitarian).…”

This paper examines the moderating effect of domain‐specific innovativeness and the relationship between perceived value (utilitarian/hedonic) and the intention to revisit destinations. The results show that perceived value has a direct effect on destination revisit intentions, whereas utilitarian perceptions (γ = .330, p < .001) are found to have a stronger effect than hedonic perceptions (γ = .204, p < .001). The moderator variable has a significant and positive effect on the relationship between perceived hedonic value and intentions to revisit destinations. By contrast, domain‐specific innovativeness negatively moderates the relationship between perceived utility value and destination revisit intentions.

“…The use of this sampling method was adequate as it was in line with several other travel motivation studies especially in the general tourism research (Hsu & Huang, 2012;Li, Wen & Leung, 2011;Jonsson & Devonish, 2009;Snepeger et al, 2006) and sport tourism research (Yusof et al, 2012;Yusof & Shah, 2007;Yusof, Shah, Omar-Fauzee, & Hakim, 2008;Chang & Hsu, 2012;Chen & Funk, 2010;Funk, Toohey & Bruun, 2007). Based on this sampling method, data was gathered from a total of 106 subjects visiting Sipadan Island in Sabah, Malaysia.…”

Abstract:The purpose of this paper is to further the understanding of island sport tourism in Sabah, Malaysia. Specifically, the authors utilised the push and pull theory to examine how motives and destination image attract sport tourists to spend their holidays in Sipadan Island, Sabah, Malaysia. Findings indicate that domestic sport tourists were more significantly motivated by intellectual, social, stimulus-avoidance and competence mastery motives than international sport tourists. With respect to the pull factors, result shows some difference in perceptions of destination image between domestic and international sport tourists. The findings of the study suggest that: (1) market segmentation based on demographic profiles can be identified, (2) four push motives should be emphasized on promotional efforts and (3) unique packages of sport tourism experiences should be developed in regards to sport tourism in Sipadan Island, Malaysia.
