“…Novelty is considered to be intricately connected to the experience of pleasure through experiences of flow, mindfulness, and creativity (Csikszentmihalyi, 1997;Filep et al, 2016). Novelty is related to emotional arousal through the alleviation of boredom and hedonic and eudemonic well-being (Iso-Ahola and Weissinger, 1990;Filep and Laing, 2019;Vada et al, 2019).…”

In cognitive psychology novelty is an antecedent of attention, emotion, memory, and behavior. However, the relationship between novelty and experience memorability remains conceptually underdeveloped in tourism. This research applies cognitive appraisal theory (CAT) to explore the contribution of novelty and emotion to memorable tourism experiences (MTEs). Seventy-five novel travel episodes were identified through semi-structured interviews. Analysis focused on the antecedent and consequent conditions of novelty. Novel experiences, whether positive or negative, were identified as critical to experience memorability. Novelty could be segmented into trip-related and event-related dimensions. Novelty contributes to how spatial, temporal, and contextual details of tourism experiences are remembered and reconstructed due to the elicitation of intense emotions. Analysis revealed negative experiences deemed as novel were found to be re-evaluated and often remembered as a positive experience. A conceptual model titled "cognitive appraisal of novelty in memorable tourism experiences" is presented for consideration in future research. By applying a retrospective and prospective approach the conceptual model explores the role of novelty through the process of cognitive appraisal, identifying goals, attention, and prior experiences as central for the experience of novelty. Future research should consider the application of recent advance in CAT to advance inquiry on tourism experiences as a psychological phenomenon.

“…SWB, the result of psychological construction, is related to the psychological feelings and reactions that one has towards one's own possessions or experiences [71,72]. In the study of SWB, scholars have adopted various indicators of measurement, which have included cognitive well-being, affective well-being [31,73], positive affect, negative affect, satisfaction with life scale [73,74], hedonic well-being, and eudaimonic well-being [73,75]. Tourism is often referred to as a wellness industry since it plays an important role in the improvement of the SWB of residents living in, and visitors to, a travel destination.…”

“…Among the various effects brought about by tourism, this improvement is considered a positive aspect of the social effect [76]. The SWB level of a tourist is naturally related to his/her personality and personal characteristics [71]; however, empirical analyses have also found that tourists' experiences (especially memorable tourism experiences) [75] and their perceptions of service quality and fairness [76] can significantly elevate their SWB.…”

“…Regarding the path relationship between place attachment and SWB, research conducted from different perspectives has led to disparate results. When Vada et al [75] studied the relationship between tourism experiences, SWB, and place attachment, they regarded SWB as the antecedent of place attachment. They believed that when tourists generated feelings of SWB after experiencing an unforgettable travel experience, their level of attachment to that travel destination would increase.…”

The aim of this study is to explore how tourists’ perceived authenticity influences their subjective well-being (SWB) in the context of heritage tourism via the mediating role of place attachment and satisfaction. Taking the tourists of the Palace Museum as an example, the results indicate that: (a) authenticity has a significant positive impact on place attachment and satisfaction; (b) place attachment can significantly enhance satisfaction, but different dimensions of place attachment have different effects on SWB; (c) place attachment and satisfaction play mediating roles in the relationship between authenticity and SWB. The conclusion of this study highlights the significance of authenticity in heritage tourism, and further discusses how to promote tourists’ SWB through the perception of authenticity.

“…Wang (2012) studied the remarks made by the tourists who use smart mobile phone and, found that information searching through intelligent mobile phone can enhance tourism experience and influence their opinion on destination [11]. Sera vada (2019) discussed the relationship between tourism experience and perception of happiness as well as sense of place, and found tourism experience positively influence sense of place [12]. Domestic researches mainly use qualitative methods to study the influence factors on tourism experience or combine qualitative and quantitative methods.…”

To explore how local residents' attitudes and action influence tourists' satisfaction which in turn influences tourism destination's brand image, the paper conducts a questionnaire survey among 166 tourists who visited Yantai, analyzes and tests the relational model through structural equations. The test result shows that residents' deep acting strategy positively affects tourists' satisfaction; tourism experience partially mediates the effect of residents' emotional labor on tourists' satisfaction. It supplements the antecedent research of tourism experience. Policymakers are suggested to attach great importance to residents' emotional labor and tourists' experiential demand.
