“…Suntikul and Jachna [105] explore the relationship between tourists' experience at UNESCO heritage sites and place attachment. In their study, the experience value is based on Pine and Gilmore's [106] four realms of experience (entertainment, education, aesthetic and escapism), while the concept of place attachment is conceptualized by adopting Williams and co-workers' [107] two dimensions of place dependence and place identity.…”

Visitors’ Experience, Place Attachment and Sustainable Behaviour at Cultural Heritage Sites: A Conceptual Framework

2017

Sustainable tourism research has attracted wide interest from scholars and practitioners. While several heritage sites are mandated to provide optimum visitor satisfaction with increasing competition in the market, managers of heritage sites face growing challenges in striking a balance between consumption and conservation. This calls for promoting more sustainable behaviours among consumers of heritage. This study proposes a conceptualization of sustainable behaviour for heritage consumers. Using the attitude-behaviour relationship underpinned by the Theory of Reasoned Action, it develops and proposes a conceptual framework that integrates visitors' heritage experiences, their attachment to heritage sites, and their general and site-specific sustainable heritage behaviour and presents their interrelationships as proposed hypotheses. Theoretical contributions and practical implications for heritage site managers are discussed.

“…Internal cognitive and emotional responses are important components of cocreation. These components are embodied in the concept of place attachment, which therefore provides a useful construct for investigating cocreation and subjective well-being (Debenedetti, Oppewal, & Arsel, 2014;Suntikul & Jachna, 2016). However, few studies have empirically examined how festivalscapes, through place attachment, impact local residents' behaviors of value cocreation and thus their subjective well-being.…”

A Transformative Service View on the Effects of Festivalscapes on Local Residents' Subjective Well-Being

Festivals benefit the local service economy and reinforce social cohesion within the local community. This study draws on transformative service research to argue that festivalscapes have a transformational impact on local residents' cocreation behavior and thus their subjective well-being. Data were collected during the 2016 Taipei lantern festival, amounting to 945 valid survey responses. Our analysis finds that cues related to the festival environment positively influence local residents' sense of place attachment, cocreation behavior, and subjective well-being. Place attachment mediates the relationship between festival environmental cues and customer cocreation behavior. More significantly, the higher the degree of intercustomer social support is perceived to be by local residents during the festival, the greater the sense of attachment to the local community shown. This study contributes to transformative service research by demonstrating that local residents' subjective well-being is an essential part of the service ecosystem in hosting a festival. Festival service managers should consider the local community's perception of festivals to simultaneously boost local service sustainability and ecosystem well-being. Service managers may determine improvements to the stimulation of intercustomer social support, as it plays a transformative role, adding value to festivals.

“…Ateljevic, 2000;Richards, 2011). Increasing creative collaboration by and co-creativity of hosts involved deeply in the co-production of experiences is recognised (Richards, 2011;Suntikul & Jachna, 2016). Deep and meaningful experiences are said to be what modern tourists prioritise, particularly those within the generation Y cohort, and co-creation is an expected means of obtaining (Valentine & Powers, 2013;Vaux Halliday & Astafyeva, 2014).…”

The concept of narcissism normalisation suggests that individuals and societies are becoming more narcissistic due to various cultural influences. Tourism is reviewed here as one such possible influence. Exploitative, entitled and exhibitionistic tendencies associated with narcissism are wellestablished in tourism. Yet tourism is also an intimate, communal and satisfying activity which may counteract narcissism. Increases in narcissism have significant implications from a sustainable tourism perspective. Narcissism is associated with exploitative and entitled behaviours that over time cause significant harm to those people and landscapes that come into contact with. Narcissism appears to be incompatible with principles of sustainability and the challenges this poses for the industry are reviewed, while the opportunities are also explored. There are signs that narcissism, particularly those aspects relating to exhibitionism, can be co-opted to benefit sustainable development.
