Respondents were mostly students (41%) which was normal since they were young and most probably still unmarried with less commitments to family ties or employment responsibilities (Mohd et al 2005). The rest were from the private sector (25.0%), self-employed (20.3%), or working in the government sector (12.7%).…”

“…While camping, tourists yearn to escape from their daily routines and to develop skills (Virden and Knopf, 1989). Furthermore, learning new things is also a major motivation for going camping (Kyle et al, 2006; Mohd et al, 2005). It is apparent from the preceding discussion that the basic dimensions of the extraordinary core-consumption experience can be easily found in a camping experience.…”

This study explored the influence of core-consumption experience on the nostalgia intensity, word-of-mouth activity and revisit intentions of Greek summer campers. An online survey was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire. The link for the online survey was posted on the Facebook fan pages of some of the most popular Greek campsites. Results suggested that core-consumption experience strongly affects nostalgia felt by campers, which in turn influences campers’ word-of-mouth activity, praise, and revisit intentions. Based on the findings, marketers should carefully design and manage campers’ experiences in order to enhance nostalgia, leading to an increase in campers’ word-of-mouth recommendations and loyalty.

This explains why people increasingly like to go outdoors to engage in camping and recreational activities and enjoy the experience of nature travel.…”

Camping tourism is one of the fastest growing segments of the tourism industry. Global trends in camping show that this type of recreational activity has begun to emerge in Asia. Meeting the expectations of potential and current tourists in a camping destination will lead to the accomplishment of competitive advantage. The endurance involvement and place attachment play important roles in understanding camping behaviors. However, limited research identified place attachment as a moderator of the influence of endurance involvement on camping travel behavior. To fill this gap, based on place attachment theory, our study developed a conceptual model that postulates endurance involvement and place attachment as predictors of camping tourism. 216 self-administered questionnaires were retuned. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the psychometric properties of the measures, while regression analysis was employed to assess the research hypotheses. The study results show that endurance involvement in camping affects camping travel behavior, whereas camping place dependence, camping place identity, and camping affective attachment moderate the effect of camping endurance involvement on camping travel behavior. Camping place attachment strengthens the relationship between camping endurance involvement and camping travel behavior. To maintain the sustainable development of camping tourism, campsite authorities should attach more importance to strengthening campers’ emotional bonds and concentrate on how to encourage them to participate in tourism activities. The findings have several theoretical and managerial implications for camping tourism marketing and the development of campground.
