“…On the contrary, Abuamoud, Libbin, Green and ALRousan's (2014) findings say that interpretation of WHS history has no impact on revisiting a WHS destination while it is significant for its awareness as found by our study prediction for 92.5% of cases. Petr (2015) and Poria, Butler and Airey (2004) have also concluded in their study that local travel impacts the experience of the tourist. These four domains welcoming, tour leader, tour guide and local travel have been identified by our study as important for awareness of WHS status.…”

“…The published material included guidebooks, advertising booklets published in other languages, print advertisements, advertising videos and the government's official website (Rakic, Chambers, 2008). These are all regarded as the first stage of promotion, according to Petr (2015), while in the second stage, in-situ communication with the tourist includes signage and information boards, reinforced by a tour leader and guides. A study highlighting the museum experience identified three significant features: good signage, effective tour guides and interactive exhibits (Cameron, Gatewood, 2000).…”

“…Tour operators and tourism intermediaries are curious about tourists' attitudes, behaviours and expectations when visiting the destination and WHS (Calver, Page, 2013;Laing, Wheeler, Reeves, Frost, 2014). Understanding their customers helps enhance the economic value of a company working in the tourism sector (Petr, 2015;Su, Lin, 2014). A deep understanding of the experiences of a tourist visiting WHS helps manage the destinations better and develop related strategies for tourism promotion (Santa-Cruz, López-Guzmán, 2017).…”

Awareness of World Heritage Sites (WHS) is a marketing tool used to promote a destination. Once a tourist arrives, the ‘trip experience’ becomes a vital tool to ensure repeat visits and showcase a positive image of a destination to potential tourists. This study has tried to link the impact of the ‘trip experience’ of tourists to awareness of WHS aiming to understand the relationship of the six ‘domains’ and forming a proposed model. The data was collected from an on-site survey of 309 tourists from July to December 2019 using a structured questionnaire following a pilot study. For data analysis, logistic regression analysis was used. This revealed that four out of six domains increase the probability of tourists’ awareness of WHS status during a trip, namely: welcoming, local travel, tour leader and tour guide. The earlier model for using WHS awareness only for promotional purposes has been shifted by adding the trip experience of the tourists. The findings can be applied by tourism and hospitality facilitators in providing services to tourists.

“…Inclusion of different stakeholders in tourism management and understanding of their value orientation are key to achieving tourism sustainability (Alazaizeh et al, 2016). Marketing recommendations to the location manager should be based on research that, inter alia, relates to different segments and target groups of visitors (Petr, 2015). The importance of the perception of the young local population in achieving sustainable tourism development and the planning of local promotion programmes should be also noted (Jaafar, Md Noor & Rasoolimanesh, 2015).…”

As an integral part of tourist-geographical research of values, tourist valorization is considered complementary to various spatial, economic, ecological and social aspects. The paper discusses the possibilities and limitations of improving the tourist valorization of the Viminacium Archaeological Site, using the existing research and literature, as well as the field work of the author, and also two complex models of valorization have been presented. The results of the research show that numerous indicators applied in different models help complex view of the archaeological site and environment, and that they are in accordance with modern trends in scientific research, which significantly contributes to the improvement of evaluation of Viminacium for the purpose of tourism.

“…Heritage sites can be seen as “experiential space[s] filled with emotional, mindful, engaging and personally imbued significance” (Willson and McIntosh, 2007, p. 88), providing an experiential consumption of these attractions based on their interpretation. The meaning of a heritage attraction is personal, as each individual seeks a specific set of attributes and characteristics (Bonn et al , 2007; Poria et al , 2006b; Petr, 2015).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore the hedonic experience and its formation at heritage attractions. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative and exploratory approach was applied, using data from 21 semi-structured interviews and three in-situ focus groups. Findings Findings highlight that senses, imagery and emotions are stimulated by the physical landscape and by triggers of memorable experiences. Research limitations/implications To further explore this topic, a broader range of heritage attractions and perspectives from the diverse stakeholders involved in the management and consumption of these sites is needed. Originality/value Given the scarcity of research dedicated to the hedonic experience at heritage sites, this study provides a contribution by exploring the visitor’s perspective and points out relevant insights. As the hedonic feelings of pleasure, comfort and related affective responses impact the quality of memorable experiences, relevant implications for theory and practice are discussed.
