This research focuses on the impact of the tourist experience on the relationship among destination image, tourist motivation, and tourist satisfaction on destination loyalty by examining the theoretical and empirical evidence on the causal relationship between constructs. A research model was proposed, in which nine hypotheses were developed, and the empirical data were collected from Hue city, which is a major tourist destination in Vietnam. A total of 204 questionnaires were returned, and the data were analyzed using PLS-SEM. The moderating effect of the tourist experience on the impact of the destination image, tourist motivation, and tourist satisfaction on destination loyalty is analyzed in this article. The proposed conceptual model was tested, and the results reveal a significant relationship between the two constructs to destination loyalty (destination image and tourist satisfaction). Furthermore, the findings support the proposed destination loyalty model: destination image, tourist satisfaction directly influenced destination loyalty, and tourist experience play an important role as a moderator in the relationship between tourist motivation and tourist loyalty.

The article aims to heighten the impact of guest online reviews on the hotel industry. Its objective is to increase the volume of users on the degree of satisfaction for effective engagement and loyalty in the luxury hotel context. Based on a keyworddriven search, the study has examined the factors influencing the guest online reviews: guest feedback, hotel management response, and customer decision-making process. They, in turn, impact the levels of customer satisfaction and engagement in the hotel and tourism industry in Vietnam. The practical problem takes place when there is a decline in the number of customers. Particularly hotel management is involved in facing negative comments in the online market. The quantitative method tested the validity of the measurements of the questionnaire and the correlation of the constructs through SPSS tools. Three hundred and eighty-four respondents participated in the survey, who are associating with the hotel and tourism profession. The results show that the customer's decisionmaking process holds the most significant impact in guest reviews' online activity toward the hoteliers' service quality to create positive customer satisfaction in handling online communication. The study's implications are to foster luxury hotel management and sustainable tourism by adopting guest online reviews in developed and developing countries. Its limitation and further study are also discussed to an overall understanding of existing and future research.
