“…Therefore, such studies have made some relevant contributions to the relevant domestic and foreign literature. Lai et al, (2018) reported that tourists' overall satisfaction positively correlates with marine activities and their intentions to revisit [30][31][32][33], while Huang et al, (2005) found that revisit intentions are based on customer introductions, public praise, and word of mouth [31,33].…”

In recent years, the citizens of Taiwan have exhibited an increasing demand for domestic tourism and travel options. Due to their relatively early development as a domestic tourism destination, the Penghu Islands are well known for their rich natural and cultural resources. The purpose of this study was to examine factors influencing tourists’ visits to Qingwan Cactus Park, including their reasons for visiting and their perceptions of their visits. With principal component analysis serving as the basis for an IPA methodology, and using the visiting destination as a reference point, the results obtained can provide a basic guideline for tourism planning. The visitors’ reactions and demands were re-examined through IPA analysis. The results could be used by national park managers to develop constructive suggestions on implementing sustainable development in Taiwan’s tourism industries. This study presents valuable data on Penghu and provides analyses of residents’ and tourists’ opinions, as well as their reactions. The study’s conclusions can be extrapolated to research on other destinations outside of Taiwan.

“…The economic category moves from the creation of authentic and innovative tourist experiences to their sale through the implementation of new forms of communication, such as digital and influencer marketing. At destination level, Essentia has diversified the business activity and has contributed to redefining the destination image (Scorrano et al, 2018;Stavrianea and Kamenidou, 2021), utilising higher resources, spreading economic benefits locally and regionally (Bramwell, 2004).…”

PurposeThis paper analyses how entrepreneurs recognise and exploit entrepreneurial opportunities following a sustainable approach that respects the equilibrium among environmental, social and commercial purposes, and how their personality affects this process. The main personality traits focused in this study are narcissism, locus of control and sustainability orientation.Design/methodology/approachThis single case study involves Essentia Dimora Rurale, a small agritourism business, located in Molise (Italy), characterised by a sustainable business model that generates value for the local environment, thus revitalising abandoned territories. Data are collected using qualitative and quantitative methods and are analysed using the Gioia methodology.FindingsThe Essentia Dimora Rurale's approach is rooted in the concept of sustainability and the development of tourism in the territory. The preservation of traditional values and the creation of a network allow the firm to prosper and survive. The personalities of the two sibling entrepreneurs fuel the process, and the authors show that each personality trait plays a different role in each phase of the firm's growth.Research limitations/implicationsFrom a theoretical point of view, the study contributes to entrepreneurial, sustainability and personality literature. However, using a single case study can represent a limit for the research.Practical implicationsVarious practical implications are recognised concerning several stakeholders, such as the owners and the entities linked to the regional promotion and tourism sectors.Originality/valueThe novelty of the research relies on the importance of entrepreneur opportunity identification, particularly in sustainable firms. Moreover, the authors fill the literature gap investigating the impact of three personality traits in this process.

“…More specifically, Chen et al (2021) found that an MTE on coffee tourism strongly reinforced tourists’ satisfaction. Stavrianea and Kamenidou (2021) revealed that the formation of tourists’ satisfaction is greatly related to positive MTEs. Therefore, once the red travel experience has more factors that make tourists unforgettable, they are more likely to enjoy the entire trip and be satisfied.…”

Memorable Tourism Experiences in Red Tourism: The Case of Jiangxi, China

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Red tourism, as a form of special interest tourism (SIT), becomes widespread among Chinese tourists. This study aims to explore memorable tourism experiences (MTEs) in red tourism destinations and examines how country competence affects intention to visit similar destinations through the influences on MTEs, destination image, red tourism place attachment, and overall satisfaction. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis is utilized to analyze the data from 556 tourists. Empirical results reveal that country competence positively influences MTEs and destination image. Furthermore, both MTEs and destination image influence overall satisfaction and red tourism place attachment, but do not influence intention to visit other similar destinations; the relationships between overall satisfaction, intention to visit other similar destinations, and place attachment are all confirmed as well. This study represents one of the few studies that classify red tourism as a form of historical-based SIT, with the purpose of promoting country competence. The outcomes provide a better understanding of both scholars and practitioners of historical-based SIT planning and businesses on how to promote destination image and country competence.
