“…The hospitality industry has been studied from different perspectives such as brand/reputation (e.g., image, perceived service quality, price), attractions (e.g., adventure, architecture, natural resources and endowments), infrastructure (e.g., efficiency of transportation, shopping, sports facilities) (Akinbobola and Bamigbola, 2017;Bai et al, 2016;Molina-Azorin and Henderson, 2011).
