Examining experience quality as the determinant of tourist behavior in niche tourism: an analytical approach

Effect of memorable tourism experiences on revisit intention to community-based tourism destination of domestic tourists in Vietnam

“…However, not every experience can be remembered for long. The relationship between memory and experience has been studied for a long time and has been confirmed in the studies of Arnold & Price [2], Quinlan Culter & Carmichael [26]. According to Kim, there are three different groups of factors affecting human memory ability that have been recorded in previous studies [18].…”

“…There are nine memorable tourism experience components identified in the community tourism context (Hedonism, refreshment, involvement, novelty, meaningfulness, knowledge, local culture, surprising experience, adverse feeling). This number is more than studies conducted with the mass tourism context in large cities (7 components -Kim et al; 8 components -Coudounaris et al), tourism yoga calendar (5 components -Sharma and Nayak), national park tourism (6 components -Bigne et al) [17], [9], [26], [5] ...

Tourism experience is said to have many different aspects, but only some aspects can be deeply remembered by tourists [6], [16], [24], [20].…”

Energy and industrial tourism: a specific niche on the tourism market

“…Particular interests also promote the development of renewable energies as a key element of their tourism strategy. Some researchers predict that energy tourism as a part of adventure and industrial tourism will emerge as the fastest growing niche tourism [17]. Within this context, it is useful to define the place of energy tourism withing tourism studies, as a special part of the specialinterest tourism: it can be placed in the intersection of the adventure tourism and industrial tourism (see Figure 1).…”
